 Sitting here wishing I'd treated you better When you were

Get off your sled and go to bed
               G
Don't you ever tire?

Throw a bone, I'm finally home
                 C
Curled up by the fire
                                                G                             
Snow is falling from the sky like ashes from an urn
                        
Sweet dreams, my little one
F   E    D  C
Now it's my turn

      G                         C
Well, Christmas is going to the dogs
     G                               C
We'd rather have chew toys than Yule logs
    G                                     C
And things aren't looking very good, it's true
   F             D    E   C 
So I'll just lay here and chew

Now, when I sleep I like to dream
Of rabbits in the snow
Jumping right into my jaws
From their rabbit hole
Take one home and set him down right next to you shoes
Wake up to a big surprise
My gift to you

And Christmas is going to the dogs
We'd rather have chew toys than Yule logs
And things aren't looking very good, it's true
So I'll just lay here and chew

And Christmas is going to the dogs
We're scarfing down the turkey and egg nog
And things aren't looking very good, it's true
So I'll just lay here and chew
So I'll just stay here and chew...

The one who let you down
But never made another

Bb               F
Take heart, my little friend
     C              G
And push back your seat
Bb              F
Soon we'll be far away
C                G
Far from the street
Bb                 F
Where you learned how to be
C             G
Not what you are

Bb          F
Up on the shoulder
C             G
There is a town
Bb            F
With a little motel
        C           G
And an old movie house
      Bb         F
We'll go to a movie
    C        G
Whatever it is

Bb             F
Watching the movie

Daisies Of The Galaxy

Intro: D Cadd9 Em A

D    Cadd9     Em         A
woke up with a bang and a bug on your face
D    Cadd9         Em        A
it crawled in your mouth and gave you a 
C        G             Bm       C
taste of the good life you left behind
Em           A
but I think you're gonna be fine

D     Cadd9     Em      A
somebody loves you and you're gonna make it through
D     Cadd9     Em      A
somebody loves you and you're gonna make it through

C G Em A

(The rest of the song are the same chords, except where otherwise noted)

this nagging malaise is more than a phase
it feels like a job but no boss ever 
pays you to lay there and think how you'll die
while the tears start to well in your eyes

somebody loves you and you're gonna make it through
somebody loves you and you're gonna make it through

C G Bm C C G Bm C Em A

one more saturday all alone through the night
you've got to be sure when you turn out that 
light that it's going to turn on again
you've got to be your good friend


somebody loves you and you're gonna make it through
somebody loves you and you're gonna make it through
somebody loves you and you're gonna make it through
somebody loves you and you're gonna make it through

C G Bm C C G Bm C C G Bm C Em A

C                  G
someone that i can believe
C         G         F
we had a window not open too long
C        G                C
but that time is good and gone

Em                    Am
and if I ever see her again
            Dm            F   G
just walking by with some new guy
Em                       Am
I know that we will need to pretend
            Dm                 F   G
and hope our eyes keep telling lies

 I put on my jacket

Didn't have nowhere to go

Pulled her closer to me

And everything was beautiful and free

F        Am  G

She woke up late in the morning
I pulled the curtain back
The sun came pouring in

There was no one in the world
There was nothing else
just me and my girl

She put her arms around me
gave me a kiss
And everything was beautiful and free
In the beginning

Tomorrow Morning

C                      E
All my life I had this funny little feeling
Am                           F         G
Came and went time and again in all my daily dealings
C                     E
Call it a deficit, an emptiness inside
Am                            F                   G
Why is true love hard to find, why does true love hide


Prechorus:

F                   E
But now I found you and I know that we would be
E                G              Am
So very happy if you could only see
F                           G
That I was made for you and you were made for me


Chorus:

C                          E
The road in front of us is long and it is wide
Am                         F                   G
We've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side
C                          E
With you I will and well I think I'm qualified
Am                        F                    G
And with beginner's luck we've got to take the ride


Verse 2:
I've got a plan you know I've got it all worked out
And all you gotta do is pack your bags and check your doubts
You come around and you will see just what I am
A true love through the worst of times, a true love to the end


Prechorus:
So now you found me and you only gotta see
How complementary we could really be
Cos I was made for you and you were made for me


Chorus:
The road in front of us is long and it is wide
We've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side
We will be stronger if our forces are aligned
And with beginner's luck we've got to take the ride


We'll take the ride as far as anyone can go
We'll pray hand in hand until the toe
I've got it all worked out don't worry about a thing
Just give your hand to me, and here, put on this ring

Chorus:
The road in front of us is long and it is wide
We've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side
With you I will and well I think I'm qualified
And with beginner's luck we've got to take the ride

Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas,

Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

F               C
And one for the little boy
G                  C
Who lives down the lane.

De tot cor

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

F         C              Am        G
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)


Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us


             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
             F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am

Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning

         F      C     G
It ain’t me, no-o, no-o
         F      C     G
It ain’t me, no-o, no-o

It Ain't Me

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
