Intro:
C     F (x2)

Verse:
             C         F
You speak of love
                 C         F
But you ain't no lover
           C         F
You were a friend
                C         F
And more like a brother


Bridge:
          Am
As the miles passed beneathe me
                                Ddim
The sounds made so sweetly came to an end
          Am
And no man can deny her

but now you're a liar
           Ddim
And you've no room left to defend


Verse:
       C       F
When I left,
                    C        F
I should have known better
        C                    F
All the kind of man that you are
              C         F
You'd have to get her


Bridge:
      Am
And I know you've got a lot of pain
                   Ddim
That's born inside you
          Am
But instead of growing stronger
             Ddim            C
You let it devide you oh


Chorus:
              F    C          F    C
How could you be so careless
              F    C          F
How could you be so careless

Bridge:
        Am
And the waves that are crashing
                               Ddim
True lives of passion washing on your shore
         Am
Yes sir, life has been costing

A true love's been lost
      Ddim                    C     F
And I can't get back anymore


Verse:
        C        F
And I'm sure,
                   C          F
that we both still love her
       C                      F
It's a shame we both lost her
                     C        F
And in turn lost eachother

Bridge:
        Am
But our trust has been broken

And words have been spoken
    Ddim
But you can mend
       Am
And no man can deny her

And as you laid beside her
  Ddim                        C
I hope it felt good my friend


Chorus:
              F    C
How could you be so careless
              F    C         F     C
How could you be so careless
              F    C         Am   F   C
How could you be so careless with her heart

I've been working on a night train
                       F
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
                          G
I'm out here on a night train
                        C
Trying to get us safely home

                          C
Well in a little country station
                        F
Somewhere out in the midwest
                            G
I see the people out there waiting
                      C
Heart beating in my chest

                            C
And I'm thinking about a woman
                          F
Who I would put no one above
                             G
I'm not looking to replace her

Where the noise, it never stops
                           G
Hammers pounding on the pavement
                       C
Whistles from traffic cops

                             C
Nobody looks you in the eye here
                              F
Walking around with clinched fists
                                 G
I've been searching for a simple place
                   C
Don't know if it exists

             F                           C
There's a sunrise out there calling my name
      F                G
I can see her moving, I can see her moving

                                 C
Well at a certain time of night, now
                           F
I'll become one with the wind
                       G
Where there isn't a beginning
                  C
And there is no end

                         C
Oh when everything is flowing
                   F
Everything is on time
                           G
And I know that we're all going
                    C
To the end of the line

Mission Bell

Em7                          D            G       
 Well, the morning came like a freight train
  Am                                          Em7
 Bearing down on me from a thousand miles of rail
  Em7                           D         G       
 Well it came and gone And kept rolling on
  Am                                                  Em7     D
 Laying up all night with my tear-stained sheet as my veil

                 G
 I don't want to see you again
                 D
 I don't want to feel your breath 
        Am                          C
 As you leaned on me so peacefully while we slept 
                      G                                    D
 And I don't want the keys to our door; I don't live there anymore
          Am                            C                  Em7
 And I'll do my best just to forget the dreams we've dreamt

 Em7                             D           G
 Well, the morning came with the pouring rain
 Am                             Em7
 And I felt just as empty as a pail
 Em7                        D              G
 With the evidence and your crime confessed 
 Am                                                  Em7   D 
 Don't seem right that it's me that spent a night in jail

                 G
 I don't want to see you again
                 D
 I don't want to feel your breath
        Am                         C
 As you leaned on me so peacefully while we slept
                      G                                    D

          Am                            C                
 And I'll do my best just to forget the dreams we've dreamt

 D          G                   Cadd9
     If you feel a chill in the air
 D           G                  Cadd9
     It's my spirit hanging somewhere
 D          G        Cadd9      
     If you ever get scared
 D           G      C               
 Look on the Brightside 
 D            G    C
    You got a new life

 Em7                           D         G   
 Now the evenings come and I'm all alone
 Am                                              Em7
 And I can't tell if silence is my foe or my friend
 Em7                       D                G
 Well I'm holding on but I ain't too strong
 Am                                                           Em7     D
 I gotta get some rest before that train come back round the bend

                 G
 I don't want to see you again
                 D
 I don't want to feel your breath 
        Am                        C
 As you leaned on me so peacefully while we slept
                      G                                    D
 And I don't want the keys to our door; I don't live there anymore
         Am                                    C            Em7

Chill In The Air

Mountains Of Sorrow, Rivers Of Song

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E

because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
