Skillet is a christian rock/alternative band formed in Nashville, Tennessee, consisting of all Christian members.  Skillet formed in 1996 with two members: John Cooper, former vocalist for Tennessee progressive rock band Seraph, and Ken Steorts, former guitarist for Urgent Cry. The two bands met through touring together, but those bands disbanded soon after, so John and Ken's pastor encouraged them to form their own band as a side-project.

Primeros años (1996-1999) Skillet se formó en 1996 cuando John Cooper, ex vocalista de Seraph, y Ken Steorts, guitarrista de Urgent Cry, decidieron crear un proyecto juntos. Viniendo de diferentes estilos de música rock, los dos decidieron nombrar a la banda Skillet, ya que el producto que pretendían desarrollar era &quot;como tirar todo en una sartén, y ver que salía&quot;.

In an interview, John L. Cooper had this to say about the song &quot;Lucy&quot;:  &quot;Typically I don't write in a way where a song can have an open ended interpretation, but this is a song about loss and can be applied to a whole range of situations. It has a gist of regret where you wish you had done things differently and it could be about mourning the loss of someone who died or a relationship. It seems sad, but it's strangely hopeful because it gives off the idea that you can change your life right here and now - you have been given a second chance so you can remember to live and love with no regrets.

Intro: F#m Asus2 Dsus2 D



***Verse1***
F#m Asus2        Dsus2  D(strum)
The walls between
 
You and I 
F#m    Asus2                    Dsus2          D
Always pushing us apart nothing left but scars fight after fight 

The space between 
Our calm and rage 
started growing shorter , disappearing slowly day after day 

***Pre-Chorus***
Bm    Asus2         Dsus2         D
I was sitting there waiting in my room for you 
Bm  Asus2               Dsus2
You were waiting for me too 
D(strum)
And it makes me wonder 

***Chorus***
Asus2
The older I get
E
Will I get over it 
F#m                        Asus2
It's been way too long for the times we missed 
Dsus2                       D
I didn't know then it would hurt like this but I think 

The older I get 
Maybe I'll get over it 
It's been way too long for the times we missed 
I can't believe it still hurts like this 

***Verse2***(same chord as Verse1)
The time between 
Those cutting words 
Built up our defenses never made no sense it just made me hurt 
Do you believe 
That time heals all wounds 
It started getting better but it's easy not to fight when I'm not with you 

Pre-Chorus+Chorus(1x)

***Bridge***
Bm                   Asus2
What was I waiting for
                           Asus2       
I should've taken less and given you more
            E
I should've weathered the storm 

I need to say so bad 
Bm                       Asus2
What were you waiting for 
Bm         Asus2         Dsus2(strum)           D
This could have been the best we ever had 

Chorus(1x)

***Outro***
Asus2          E
Hurts like this
         F#m
I'm just getting older 
                     Dsus2   D
I'm not getting over you I'm trying to 
Asus2                      E
I wish it didn't hurt like this 
F#m                            Asus2
It's been way too long for the times we missed 
Dsus2                                   D(strum)
I can't believe it still hurts like this

Older I Get 

Intro:

C G Dm Am-G

Verse 1:

C            Am
 Things are changing
          G
It seems strange and
    F                  C
I need to figure this out
           Am
You've got your life
        G    
I got mine
     F                    Am
But you're all I cared about
      G                     F
Yesterday we were laughing
               C
Today I'm left here asking
Dm
 Where has all the time gone now
F
 I'm left alone somehow
Dm
Growing up and getting older
F
 I don't want to believe it's over

Pre-chorus riff: F


Chorus:


             C     G
Don't say goodbye
      F                                 C     G
Cause I don't wanna hear those words tonight
      F                                   Am
Cause maybe it's not the end for you and I
       G
And although we knew
      F                  
This time would come for me and you
Dm
Don't say anything tonight
F
 If you're gonna say goodbye



C G Dm Am-G


Verse 2:

C        Am
 Do you remember
     G
In December
     F                      C
How we swore we'd never change
                    Am
Even though you're leaving
          G
That our feelings
        F               Am
Would always stay the same
            G             F
I wish we could be laughing
              C
Instead I'm standing here asking
Dm
Do we have to end this now
F
Can we make it last somehow
Dm
We both know what we've gotta say, not today
F
Cause I don't wanna leave this way

Pre-chorus riff: F

Chorus:


             C     G
Don't say goodbye
      F                                 C     G
Cause I don't wanna hear those words tonight
      F                                   Am
Cause maybe it's not the end for you and I
       G
And although we knew
      F                  
This time would come for me and you
Dm
Don't say anything tonight
F
 If you're gonna say goodbye



Bridge:

Am Bm C
      And if it's over
Am Bm C
      It hurts but I'm giving you my word
Am Bm C
      I hope that you're always
Dm         Am
Happy like we were

Say Goodbye

Verse 1:
  D                   G
I see you standing here
Bm            A   G
But you're so far away
D                       G
Starving for your attention
Bm             A       G
You don't even know my name
Bm                      A
You're going through so much
                D/F#           G
But I know that I could be the one to hold you


Chorus:
D
Every single day
G
I find it hard to say
Bm         A        G
I could be yours alone
D
You will see someday
G
That all along the way
Bm    A          G
I was yours to hold
                   D
I was yours to hold


Verse 2:
D                  G
I see you walking by
Bm               A            G
Your hair always hiding your face
D                          G
I wonder why you've been hurting
Bm               A        G
I wish I had some way to say
Bm                      A
You're going through so much
                    D/F#          G
Don't you know that I will be the one to hold you


(Chorus x1)


Bridge:
G                          Bm          A
 I'm stretching but you're just out of reach
              G
You should know
                      Bm        A
I'm ready when you're ready for me
D/F#                    G
And I'm waiting for the right time
        A                G
For the day I catch your eye
D/F#       G
To let you know
         A        G
That I'm yours to hold

(Chorus x2)

The Last Night

C
I remember when
G
We used to laugh
Am
About nothing at all
F
It was better than going mad
C                                           
From trying to solve all the problems we're
G 
Going through forget 'em all
Am
Cause on those nights we would stand and never fall
F
Together we faced it all
# N.C.
Remember when we'd

C       G                      Am
Stay up late and we'd talk all night
               F             C 
In a dark room lit by the TV light
                G                Am
Through all the hard times in my life
             F       C
Those nights kept me alive
                   G              Am
We'd listen to the radio play all night
                  F               C
Didn't want to go home to another fight
                G                Am
Through all the hard times in my life
             F       C
Those nights kept me alive

C G B C

C
I remember when
G
We used to drive
Am
Anywhere but here
F
As long as we'd forget our lives
C                                     G
We were so young and confused that we didn't know

To laugh or cry
Am
Those nights were ours

They will live and never die
F
Together we'd stand forever
# N.C.
Remember when we'd

C       G                      Am
Stay up late and we'd talk all night

     Em            C
If I wasn't here tomorrow
      G       D
Would anybody care
      Em            C
If my time was up I wanna know
         G           D
You were happy I was there
     Em            C
If I wasn't here tomorrow
      G           D
Would anyone lose sleep
     Em              C
If I wasn't hard and hollow
     G               D
Then maybe you would miss me

  C                     D
I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone
G                   Em
Someone that I like better
      C
I can never forget
         D                 Am
So don't remind me of it forever

Em             C               G
What if I just pulled myself together
         D          Em
Would it matter at all
               C             G
What if I just try not to remember
         D          Em
Would it matter at all
                          C
All the chances that have passed me by
G                    D                C
Would it matter if I gave it one more try
         D          Em
Would it matter at all

     Em          C
If I wasn't here tomorrow
      G       D
Would anybody care
      Em                C
Still stuck inside this sorrow
         G                   D
I've got nothing and going nowhere

  C                     D
I know I'm a mess and I wanna be someone
G                   Em
Someone that I like better
        C
Can you help me forget
            D                 Am
Don't wanna feel like this forever - forever

Em             C               G
What if I just pulled myself together
         D          Em
Would it matter at all
               C             G
What if I just try not to remember
         D          Em
Would it matter at all
                          C
All the chances that have passed me by
G                    D                C
Would it matter if I gave it one more try

Em          C
If I live tomorrow
G             D
Would anybody care
Em            C
Stuck in this sorrow
G       D
Going nowhere

Em                        C                G
All the chances that have passed me by

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

         D                 A                          
I'll confess tonight your all thats on my mind
        Bm            A                   D
I know these roof top nights could last forever.
              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

D                       A
Right now is all we have you better make this count

I think back to the nights I looked into your bright green eyes and you said,
    Em    A
lets run away.
D                             A                             Bm

D                    A
I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Fast Car

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.
