I've never eaten a lobster
G Gmaj7
Because I've seen them in their prime
Cmaj7 Am D
Sitting in the tank beside the doorway
G Gmaj7
And if they could see it your way
Cmaj7
They would probably start to cry
Am

And the salt water from their tears
D Em
Would wash away all of their fears
G
As they'd remember all the years
Em
They spent so happy in the wild
D

And then one day the big men came
Em
To make them play a fishy game
G
Of Russian Roulette for crustaceans
Em
Fifty lobsters, seven nations
G N.C.
Waiting for the sweaty clientelle
Em D C
To pick them out for boiling water hell.
C D

I've never eaten a lobster
G Gmaj7
Not that I haven't had the opportunity
Cmaj7 Am D
Other food is so guilt free
G
And in this case the killer's me
Em
And while it's sitting on your plate
G
Regrets would come but it's too late
Em
And seafood's such a very tricky dish
G D C
And nothing's more emotional than fish
C D

G Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D A
G Gmaj7

Oh oh oh
Cmaj7
Nothing's more emotional than fish.
Am D G

Neuroses then talk openly

About them and then brutally

Dissect them on a tray


       Ab                G           Cm
And I?m glad that you?re not telling me what to do
       Ab            G           Cm
And I wish that I?d not spent the time illuminating up the past with little tales of who
       Ab        G   Cm    Eb       F
Had nurtured me naturally from the womb
    Ab                  G            Cm
Through to now, my own life, without you

Why I Shouldnt Have Let You In

Verse:
C F
Last week I ran downtown 
G	 C
To see you and tell you I loved you. 
C	 F
But just before I reached your door 
G	 C
I stopped and looked above to 
F C
Pray to anyone who'd hear me 
F
Getting the pluck 
F C
To wish myself luck and say 

Chorus:
C
You're the reason to my rhyme 
C
And it's a shame, no it's a crime 
F
That I've not told you that I love you 
F
Cause I've never found the time, 
C
You're my happiness and sadness, 
C
You're the method to my madness. 
F
Nobody I'd rather be with, 
F C
Nobody I'd ever be with.

Rhyme And Reason

G                          Dm

I want to know why
F                                       C

Things you say about Tories and trains just pass by,
G                                Dm

Every word that you say,
F                                     C

Cats with captions and train alterations, each day

G                                      Dm

There's a new little something of interest,
F                                         C

Shared with me in the best way that you can.
G                                   Dm

Shining wit, and a passion for irony,
F                             C

See the absurd in a national tragedy.

F                  C                            Bb

One and the same in our own different way.
F                            C                                Bb

We'll hit the big time and set a new low in the same day.
F                                C

And we'll be the men that we wanted to be,
Bb

Our own Wright, Frost and Pegg but much better you see,
F

And I know this is true,
C

Yes I know this is true,
Bb

Cause we made a film.

G                                         Dm

Working hard through the night,
F                                 C

Fed on laughter and cola, sit bathed in the light
G                                  Dm

Of your Macintosh screen
F                                       C

Picking out the best bits of the things that we've seen.

G                              Dm

There's so many adventures we've had
F                   C

And not one of them bad for the lives that we lead
G                                Dm

Achieving the goals that we set as we go
F                                   C

And I'll never say no, I will never say no to one more.

F                          C                 Bb

One and the same in our own different way.
F                             C                                   Bb

We'll hit the big time and set a new low in the same day.
F                                C

And like blood and ice cream poured into a bowl
Bb

Oh, it doesn't seem right but just somehow we go,
F

And I know this is true,
C

Yes I know this is true,
Bb

Cause we made a film.

                  F                         C              
A few seconds of your left hand shaking the sounds on the fretboard

We're running out of water
F C
Summer's turning out to be too hot
A Dm Bb
For going out except in shade
C F

The sun keeps rising every day
And I hate how it just stays that way
The nights are too short these days

I keep on thinking how mankind
Would shrivel up and burn and die
If we were fired into the sun

the noise cuts off my head some days
I wish that I was dead in ways
I'm better now I'm only one

But that's just how it's got to be
Bb
I need to get used to it
F
Six billion people people think that me
Bb
Is more important than the rest

But that's just how it's meant to be
C
There's people living who aren't me

My friend here said that I should write a song
C G F
And once I'd written for him I moved on
C G F
To bigger chords and more complex rhyming schemes
C G E Am
And now I think that I
G F
Should really try again
Fm

It's hard to say in such a short amount of time
When every single line has got to rhyme
I think that I can work it out this time
Now it's not just a phase
All I do these days

Is put my friends into song
C G/C F/C
Playing keys and writing lines of righting wrongs
C G A
And how they're such lovely people
F G
And I'd never live without them in the end
C G Am G F Fm

So wait for five more years and look for me one day
And when you've found me just walk up to me and say
Remember me, I'm Jakey P,
I'm everything I want to be and I
Think you should try

To put me into song
Playing keys and writing lines of righting wrongs
And how I'm such a lovely person
And you'd never live without me in the end
I'll always be your friend

Bb                          F

The ones who say tomorrow's just another day

Painfully Mainstream

G                                              Am6
Strange, how life gets turned around
                                        F
Gets turned completely upside down
          G
Now I am here

C                            Am6
  I wish that I could be
                     F
Invisible at ninety degrees
          G
And slide away

C                                   Am6
You chemical reactions aren't the same as mine
            F
We are indifferent to each other
          G
And I can't remember why
                                       Am6
Your chemical reactions aren't the same as mine
               F                               G
We are indifferent to each other

C                                                 Am6
Strange, that though we're fully grown
                                          F
If someone asked us, we wouldn't know
             G
Why we do this

C                          Am 6
    I wish that I could be
                                  F
On every screen, on every TV
G                                                   C
Stay here, will you, it's gonna be alright
                                       Am6
Your chemical reactions aren't the same as mine
               F
We are allergic to each other

C                                          Am6
Strange, although this is the end
                           F
I want to be the only friend 
                G
Who understands you

C                             Am6
   I wish that I could be
                    F
Invisible at every degree
      G                                                  C
To stay and watch you cry when I am gone
  
                           Am6
Your chemical reactions aren't the same as mine
               F
We are allergic to each other
              G
And we can't remember why
C                                    Am6
Your chemical reactions aren't the same as mine
                 F                                 G
We are indifferent to each other

Chemical Reactions

Em

The world is strange the world is strange
G

It’s all a game a shooting range
Am

For apathy and empathy
D

Psychology and therapy
Em

and even if I'm eloquent
G

it all defies my sentiment
Am

The information’s always there
D

It’s in your food and tangled in your hair
Em

and I see the exoskeleton
G

it’s PVC or gelatin
Am

or wood or lead or anything
D

From water, mud, or medicine
Am

So here’s a song about everything 
Em             G

let me cut it open 
     Am              D

and explore the information
       Em                 G

in the pipes that make it mazes of
  Am       D

logistical hollisticism
Em                 G

Deep thought is in everyone 
    Am            D                    Em (STRUM THRICE)

and everyone’s in deep thought all the time
Em

Harbouring intangibly
G

is everything you mean to me
Am

I’ll open up your humming heart
D

if only I knew where to start
Em

The microscopes replace my eyes
G

and everything it magnifies
Am

is something new that everywhere
D

you cast a shadow on the atoms in the air
Em

and I see the breath you’re drawing in
G

you’re like a moving mannequin
Am

There shouldn't be a thing inside
D

but I could understand you if I tried
Am

and let me tell you I’ve tried and tried
Em                G

So let me cut you open 
    Am          D

and explore the information
        Em
                 G

in the pipes that make you mazes of
Am         D

elusive existentialism
Em           G

Multivac is everyone
        Am        D

And everyone's a circle in the ground
Em

There’s no emotion in my eyes
G

I’m just a robot in disguise
Am

passion when it came to me
D

was more than sonic fallacy
Em

and I can feel a torch down the back of my throat 
G

Illuminating from behind the puny words that I wrote
Am                                    D

don’t trust me anymore i just don’t trust me anymore
Em                G

and I will cut me open 
Am                D

and explore the information
Em                        G

in the pipes that make a maze out of my
Am        D

logical determinism
Em              G

I am HAL and HAL is me and 
Am              D         Em

you are me and we are all together 
Am              G


I am HAL and HAL is me
    Am             D           Em

and you are me and we are all together
Em             G             Am             D

I am HAL and HAL is me and you are me and we are all...

                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm

into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am
play it romance
         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans

I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave

                Am               A#
till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Outro]
             Dm           F           A#
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Liability

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around

Got some extra time think I'll throw some money down
                                                     D
And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time

C#5  E5  A5                    C#5  A5  B5
            This heart attack              then I’m feeling fine

I'm down, don't know what to do
D
I let you lie to me
F
plant seeds inside
            E
to see them grow
                      F
only to leave them to die

  C
I learned my lesson
       E
I won't be forgetting
       F
I won't give my heart out
    A
with-out suspecting

out that I've been such a fool
D           
you thought you'd stick around
F
until the day you found
    E                    F
someone to make me obsolete

  C
I learned my lesson

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change



[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                   A
(We don't even know, know, know, know, know)




[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

(Think that we'd be alright)

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine


[Chorus]

 N.C.                     D
(Oh)Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                  A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why

(But we don't even know why)

We don't even know why, no no

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus

Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm
