Waiting For You

i Think thats basically it through out the whole song

c  G	B Em C	G D D


b C G	B Em C G B	




like an old man


sitting alone at a lunch counter

never leave lonely alone

like a small town girl
a big city devours

never leave lonely alone

some of us laugh
even in our darkest hour

never leave lonely alone

unspoken rules of solitude
wound without a trace
a lifetime of dreams roll down your face
all that we can't say
is all we need to hear
when you close your eyes
does the world disappear

there's something in everyone
only they know

never leave lonely alone

it moves in the hidden ways
of joy and sorrow

never leave lonely alone

   Am          C     Am   C     Am   C      D 
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am nu-u-u-umb

	

Is this really living ? 

Sometimes it's hard to tell

Or is this a kind of gentle hell ?

Turn out the lights

And let me stare into your soul

I was born and bled for you to hold


[Chorus]

Never said thank you

Never said please

Never gave reason to believe

So as it stands

I remain on my knees

Good lovers make great enemies

[Chorus]

Please Bleed

E		      Am   G G

can use misery loves a symphony

          G#               G
Does your face your pretty face

get lost in a crowd
        G#             G
And you say no one's there

what will you do,

Where did you learn to do that so well
C	E	  Am               
I guess that would be like kiss and tell
F*        C       G                C
If it's a secret, why did you show me

         G#                G
But your far away from the love 
C     G   A7

Someone stripped the shoes from your ground

Everybody is always somebody's something


          G#               G
Kissing from heaven in your arms
C     G   A7
And we'll make love to the memories

They will always see us new,

G
I new a girl
Am
Her name was truth
Bm        Am       G     Gsus4
She was a horrible lair
G                  Am
She couldn&#8217;t spend one day alone
Bm        Am            G     Gsus2
But she couldn&#8217;t be satisfied
G            Am
When you have everything
Bm          Am          G     Gsus4
You have everything to lose
G                Am
She made herself a bed of nails
Bm             Am                    G     Gsus2
And she&#8217;s planning on putting it to use

But she had diamonds on the inside

F          C               G
She had diamonds on the inside

Verse 2 
G                                     Am
A candle throws its light into the darkness
Bm                Am                G     Gsus4
In a nasty world so shines a good deed
G                      Am
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Bm       Am               G     Gsus2
Is the fortune that you need

G               Am
Tell me why the first to ask
Bm              Am          G     Gsus4
Is the last to give every time
G                Am
What you say and do not mean
Bm         Am       G     Gsus2
Follows you close behind

Chorus

F          C              G
She had diamonds on the inside
F          C              G
She had diamonds on the inside
F           C              G
She wore diamonds on the inside
F  C  G  F  C  G
Diamonds diamonds



Verse 3

G                                  Am
Like the soldier long standing under fire
Bm          Am          G     G
Any change comes as a relief
G                             Am
Let the givers name remain unspoken
Bm           Am          G     G
She is just a generous thief


Chorus

   F           C         G
She had diamonds on the inside

The pain and the [G]laughter [A]brought you to your knees[D]

[A]You'll be free indeed,[D] Indeed[D7]

REPEAT CHORUS


VERSE 3
[D] Every time I hear you laughing,[Em7] I hear you laughing[G]
[A]It makes me cry[D]
[D] Like the story of life,[Em7] of your life[G]

With My Own Two Hands

#Intro:Am, F, C, G


#Verse:

Am                F
What started as a whisper,
         C             G
Slowly turned into a scream.
Am                  F
Searching for an answer
           C            G
Where the question is unseen.
Am                         F
I don't know where you came from
           C              G
And I don't know where you've gone.
Am                            F
Old friends become old strangers
         C             G
Between darkness and the dawn


#Chorus:
F    C      G           Am
Amen omen, will I see your face again?
F    C      G           Am
Amen omen, can I find the place within
F       C      G        Am   Ab  Bb
To live my life without you?


#Verse:

Am                   F
I still hear you saying
        C         G
"All of life is chance,
Am                   F
And is sweetest, is sweetest 
   C          G
when at a glance"
Am                        F 
But I live, I live a hundred 
    C         G
lifetimes in a day.
Am           F
But I die a little      C           G
In every breath I take.


#Chorus:
F     C       G              Am
Amen omen, will I see your face again?
F     C       G              Am
Amen omen, can I find the place within
F     C       G           Am   Ab  Bb
To live my life without you?


#Verse:
Am          F
I listen to a whisper,
     C         G
Slowly drift away.
Am                F
Silence is the loudest,
        C                 G
Parting word you never say.
Am                F
I put I put your world
   C       G
Into my veins
Am               F
Now a voiceless sympathy
   C          G
Is all that remains.


#Chorus:
F     C       G              Am
Amen omen, will I see your face again?
F     C       G              Am
Amen omen, can I find the place within
F     C       G              Am
To live my life without you?
F     C       G              Am
Amen omen, will I see your face again?
F     C       G              Am
Amen omen, can I see your face again?
F     C       G              Am
Amen omen, can I find the strength to live my life
F     C       G              Am     F     C       G              Am
Amen omen, amen omen, amen omen

Amen Omen

Another Lonely Day


A#    Gm-Gm7    Dm     F
Yes indeed, I'm alone again
and here comes emptiness, crashing in
it's either love or hate, I can't find in between
cause I've been with witches, and I've had a queen

D#     Gm     F      F 
It wouldn't have worked out any way
so now it's just another lonely day
further along we just may
but for now it's just another lonely day

A#    Gm-Gm7    Dm     F
Wish there was something, I could say or do
I can resist anything, but temptation from you
but I'd rather walk alone, then chase you 'round
I'd rather fall myself, then let you drag me down

D#     Gm     F      F
It wouldn't have worked out any way
so now it's just another lonely day
further along we just may
but for now it's just another lonely day

A#    Gm-Gm7    Dm     F
Yesterday seems, like a life ago
cause the one I love, today I hardly know
you I held so close in my heart, oh dear
ya grow further from me, with every fallen tear

D#     Gm     F      F
It wouldn't have worked out any way
so now it's just another lonely day
further along we just may
but for now it's just another lonely day

Three Of Us

Welcome To The Cruel World

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

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.

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
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
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

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
