G                           C 
You sounded so good on the phone
                           G 
All moved up and all moved on
                   D
Me and gravity we never could agree
G                     C 
I can almost see the sky
                        G 
When I need to close my eyes
                              D
You're the only thing that's worth holding on to


Chorus
G                     D
Angel you sing about beautiful things
    Em                   C 
And all I want to do is believe
    G                        D
I traded my dreams for this mess of memories
     Em                         C 
And they just stopped working for me


Verse
G                     C
I'm not a monster I believe
                     G 
Like a liar would believe
                       D
Helps me navigate the wooden smiles, the raging sea
G                         C 
All my heroes pull their heads
                        G 
Like a fighter would I guess
                    D
No one really ever likes getting older


Chorus
G                     D
Angel you sing about beautiful things
    Em                    C 
And all I want to do is believe
    G                        D
I traded my dreams for this mess of memories
     Em                          C
And they just stopped working for me

This time 
          C       F
I'll be sailing
          C                 F
No more bailing boats for me
         C               F
I'll be out here on the sea
         C                F
Just my confidence and me


     Am            G
And I'll be awful sometimes
F
Weakened to my knees
     F                  G
But I'll learn to get by
                 C       F
On the little victories


       C       F
This time 
           C       F
I'll have no fear
           C                    F
I'll be standing strong and tall
              C                    F
I'll turn my back towards them all



     Am            G
And I'll be awful sometimes
F
Weakened to my knees
     F                  G
But I'll learn to get by
                 C       F
On the little victories

            Am
And if the world decides
         G
To catch up with me
               C
Still little victories
(Play verse one and chorus again)

This bed is on fire with passionate love

The neighbors complain about the noises above

My therapist said not to see you no more
                         C                 G
She said you're like a disease without any cure

She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no

Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
C                       G    
Dressed me up in womens clothes

The people in my neighbourhood think that I'm a threat.

While the boss gets richer they get deeper in debt.

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
