Intro: C

C                        F
Summer in the city means cleavage cleavage cleavage
C                              G
And I start to miss you, baby, sometimes          
          C              G              C         F
I've been staying up and drinking in a late night establishment
C                 G
Telling strangers personal things

C                          F
Summer in the city, I'm so lonely lonely lonely
C                                             G
So I went to a protest just to rub up against strangers
      C             G            C              F
And I did feel like coming but I also felt like crying
C                           G
It doesn't seem so worth it right now

F                                          C
And the castrated ones stand in the corner smoking
F                                     C              G
They want to feel the bulges in their pants start to rise
        C        G               C         F
At the site of a beautiful woman they feel nothing but
C                                            G
Anger, her skin makes them sick in the night nauseaous, nauseaous, nauseaous

C                          F
Summer in the city, I'm so lonely lonely lonely
            C                                             G
I've been hallucinating you, babe, at the backs of other women
      C            G               C             F
And I tap on their shoulder and they turn around smiling
           C                       G
But there's no recognition in their eyes

C                           F      
Oh summer in the city means cleavage cleavage cleavage
C                                                        G
And don't get me wrong, dear, in general I'm doing quite fine
                    C             G               C                      F
It's just when it's summer in the city, and you're so long gone from the city
   C                 G     C
I start to miss you, baby, sometimes

Wake up in an hotel room
Cigarettes and lies
I am a child, it's too soon

I have dreams of orca whales and owls
But I wake up in fear
You will never be my
You will never be my fool
Will never be my fool

A little bag of cocaine
C
A little bag of cocaine
G                           D
So who's the girl wearing my dress
D
I figured out her number
C
Inside a paper napkin
G                    D
But I don't know her address I wade downstairs


same as verse 1
The porter smiles to me a smile
I've bought
With a couple of gold coins
A sign that I've been caught

Chorus
I have dreams of orca whales and owls
But I wake up in fear
You will never be my
You will never be my dear
Will never be my dear, dear friend
Dear dear friend, dear dear friend...

A little bag of cocaine
A little bag of cocaine
So who's the girl wearing my dress
I figured out her number
Inside a paper napkin
But I don't know her address

Come in, come in
Come into my world I've got to show

Come into my bed

But I wake up in fear
You will never be my

VERSE 1
C
This is how it works
G
It feels a little worse
Am
Than when we drove our hearse
F
Right through that screaming crowd
C
While laughing up a storm
G
Until we were just bone
Am
Until it got so warm
F
That none of us could sleep

And all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay

But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees

While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again

CHORUS
C
On the radio
G
We heard November Rain
Am
That solo's really long [awful long]

VERSE 2 [C G Am F...]

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't

You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took

And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood

And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

I never loved nobody fully

Always one foot on the ground 
F                          Bb
And by protecting my heart truly 
Dm                 C
I got lost in the sounds

I hear in my mind all these voices

Suppose we never fell in love

Suppose I never ever let you kiss me

so sweet and so soft

Suppose I never ever saw you

Suppose we never ever called 
F                         Bb
Suppose I kept on singing love songs 
         Dm
just to break 
    C
my own fall

Just to break my fall

Break my fall

C         Am        F
There's a shadow
    G            C Am     F G
You can't see my eyes
C       Am            F      G              C     Am F G
And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies

                
                   C      Am     F    G           C   Am F G
Let's get a silver bullet trailer and have a baby boy,
                    C           Am       F      G           C   Am  F G
I'll safety pin his clothes all cool and you'll graffiti up his toys
                   C Am F    G           C   Am  F G
I've got a perfect body, but sometimes I forget
                   C Am            F         G        C
I've got a perfect body, 'cause my eyelashes catch my sweat
         Am
yes they do
     F    G
They do

Am          C           G           F

Now I've been sitting on this abandoned beach for years
C               Am    F        G         C   Am  F G
Waiting for the salty water to cover up my ears
C         Am       F          G                C Am F G
But every time the tide comes in to take me home
C     Am     F
I get scared
        G                 C
Now I'm sitting here alone
Am              F       G
Dreaming of the dolphin song

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Am      C       G   F
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Am      C       F
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Maybe one day you'll understand
       F            C               Am                G 
That I want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand
C         Am       F                  G
Till that day just please don't be so down
F                  G
Don't make frowns, you silly clown

C        Am           F       G                    C Am F G
Come and open up your folding chair next to me
C           Am            F    G                   C Am F G
My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze

And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies

There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes

There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes

Some said the local lake had been enchanted
D                                  G
Others said it must have been the weather
Em                                  Am
The neighbors were trying to keep it quiet
D                                  G
But I swear that I could hear the laughter
Em                                Am      
So they jokingly nicknamed it the porridge
D                                                G
'cause overnight that lake had turned to thick as butter
 Em                               Am         Am
But the local kids would still go swimming, drinking
D                             G
Saying hat to them it doesn't matter

            Am           C
If you just hold in your breath
        D              G
Til you come back up in full
Am           C
Hold in your breath

Bb                Dm
A man of a thousand faces
Bb               Dm
Sits down at the table
Gm                   Bb
Eats a small lump of sugar
    Gm                         Bb
And smiles at the moon like he knows her
Dm                       Bb
   And begins his quiet ascension
Dm                             Bb
   Without anyone's sturdy instruction
F                    Bb-F
 To a place of no religion
Gm
  Has found a path to our alikeness

Bb                        Dm
  His words are quiet like stains are
Bb                             Dm
  On a table cloth washed in a river
F                         Bb  F            Bb  F
Stains that are trying to cover, for each other
Gm
  Or at least blend in with the pattern

Bb                    Dm
  Good is better than perfect
Bb                          Dm
  Scrub til your fingers are bleeding
Gm                   Bb         
  And I'm crying for things that 
Gm                            Bb
  I tell others to do without crying

Dm                              Bb
  He used to go to his favorite bookstores
Dm                         Bb
  And rip out his favorite pages
Gm                              Bb
  And stuff them into his breast pocket
Gm                          Bb
  And the moon to him was a stranger
Dm                        Bb
  Now he sits down at the table
Dm                  Bb
  Right next to the window
Gm                     Bb
  And begins his quiet ascension
Gm                        Bb
  Without anyone's sturdy instruction
Gm                 Bb
  To a place of no religion

  Has found a path to our alikeness
Gm                        Bb
  And eats a small lump of sugar

  And smiles at the moon like he knows her

Man Of A Thousand Faces

Am
Your stitches are all out

         D
But your scars are healing wrong

    Am                         D
The helium balloon inside your room has come undone

         C                 G
And it's pushing up at the ceiling

        Am                   E                          
And the flickering lights it cannot get beyond 



Am              C
Everyone takes turns

         D                 D
Now it's yours to play the part

            Am           C
And they're sitting all around you

        D               D
Holding copies of your chart

        C       G
And the misery inside their eyes is

Am               E                            
Synchronized and reflecting into yours



C     E
Hold on!

Am                 F
One more time with feeling

C        E     Am                F
Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm

C             E           Am                      F
Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right

Dm       F     Dm    F
This is why we fight

One More Time With Feeling

C
You went into the kitchen cupboard
Got yourself another hour
        F
And you gave
              Am
Half of it to me
             C
We sat there looking at the faces
Of these strangers in the pages
F                            Am
'Til we knew 'em mathematically

                 Dm
They were in our minds
      F
Until forever
              Dm
But we didn't mind
               G
We didn't know better

      C
So we made our own computer out of macaroni pieces
        F                                  Am
And it did our thinking while we lived our lives
   C
It counted up our feelings
And divided them up even
       F                               Am
And it called that calculation perfect love

            Dm                 F
Didn't even know that love was bigger
            Dm
Didn't even know
              G
That love was so, so
Hey Hey Hey

         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C          F
Burnin' us up
         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C
Burnin' us..
Dm
Up

Bb
Ohhhhh
F
Ohh Ohh Ohh

      C
So we made the hard decision
And we each made an incision
         F
Past our muscles and our bones
        Am
Saw our hearts were little stones
           C
Pulled 'em out they weren't beating

And we weren't even bleeding
      F                             Am
As we lay 'em on the granite counter top

            Dm
We beat 'em up
             F
Against each other
            Dm
We beat 'em up
             F
Against each other
              Dm
We struck 'em hard
             F
Against each other
              Dm
We struck 'em so hard
                   C
So hard until they sparked

         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C          F
Burnin' us up
         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C          F

In a night, the snow starts falling
               Gm           
And everybody stares

Went wrong

(no chords)
Oh baby 
Eb         Bb
How can I begin again?

Someone who isn't you

To hear your voice 
To see your face
There's not one moment I'd erase
You are a guest here now

So baby
How can I forget your love?
How can I never see you again?

A                                          D              E
She's the kind of girl who'll fracture her mind till it's light

She'll break her own heart and you know

She's been skipping days, spilling her drinks in the sink

And you know, she never coming home

             A       E
Never coming home a-again

But when, when, when she open her eyes, eyes, eyes

Beyond the chipping paint through the windowpane

Dm
Lies, lies, lies

Her patron saint, broken and lame

And absolutely insane for learning

          E    A
That true love exists

Down on Bowery, they lose their ball-eyes and their lipped mouths in the night

And stumbling through the street, they say, "Sir, do you got a light?" and
C                  F                  
If you do, then you're my friend, and

If you don't, then you're my foe, and

Down in Lexington, they're waiting, new shoes stuck to aging feet, and
C                      F               C         G
Close their eyes and open, and not recognize the aging street, and
C                 F
Think about how things were right when
C                     G
They were young and veins were tight, and
C               F                  C                    G
If you are the Ghost of Christmas Past, then won't you stay the night?

Down in Bronxy Bronx, the kids go sledding down snow-covered slopes, and
C              F                 C          G
Frozen noses, frozen toes, the frozen city starts to glow, and
C                     F

The animals, the animals

Trapped, trapped, trapped 'till the cage is full

In the dark, count mistakes
Am
The light was off but now it's on
G                          Am
Searching the ground for a bitter song

The sun is out, the day is new

Taking steps is easy

When I was here last, at the back of the class

You pretended you never got lost

You're at the back of the class, in the back of the bus

Sitting out at the dance, so we're saying "no, thanks"

When they see you around, you look down at the ground

But when they walk away you'd wish they'd stay

You can't help but stare at everyone there

It's you versus everyone else

Your outfit's a crime, you feel their cold minds

Placing you under arrest

And you serve your time drinking all night long

Staring at the walls of your jail-like home

Listening to that song, cause it hurts just right

Till everything is gone tonight

Someday you'll grow up and then you'll forget

All of the pain you endured

Until you walk by, a sad pair of eyes

And up will come back all the hurt
F
And you'll see their pain as they look away
Dm 
And you want to help, but there's just no way 
F
Cause you won the war so it's not your turn

But everything inside still burns

Bleeding Heart

Remember Us To Life

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
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days

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.

and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else

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
