Don't know where to go from here

My thoughts are tangled twisted fears
Em
Been waitin' a while now on the dawn
C
Seems like the sun may never come


G
I made my way through the darkest night

To the break of day on the other side
Em
For some time the light's been creepin' in
C
Now I'm feeling like I could trust again


D                           Em
You're the only person who reminds me

I've been terrified of life for way to long

Oh no now don't you blink or it's gone

In another life who knows what we'd become?

Been making plans and drawing maps

I plan to take the righteous path
Em
And hope and pray it leads me back
C
To all the happiness I had

Been making lists and crossing off

Every kiss that wasn't love
Em
And every word that stretched the truth

Like when she said she loved me

Don't Blink

Intro: D, G, D
 
D
There was a time when I was scared of nothing
Nothing can touch you if you don't look back
G                                          D
I walked away from every good thing that I had
 
D
By the time I met you it was 12 past midnight
Told you I'd be the best you never had
G
You said "Are you serious?" 
                      D
I said like a heart attack
 
     Em            G                         D
But it was far too late before I figured it out.
                          A
I never meant to be your, I never meant to be your
Em               G
One night, one mistake.
 
G                        D          A
I never meant to be your part-time lover
G                             D        A
Then again I've never been a full-time man
G                                 D             A
Never thought it'd hurt so bad to see you with another
Em                          G          D
Guess I'm the fool that ya, ya think I am
 
D
I never called you like I know I should of
Thought I could save you for a rainy day
G                                              D
I bet the sun was shining when I let you slip away
 
    Em             G                         D
But it was far too late before I figured it out
                           A
I bet the sun was shining, I never meant to be your
G
One night, one mistake
 
G                        D          A
I never meant to be your part-time lover
G                             D        A
Then again I've never been a full-time man
G                                 D             A
Never thought it'd hurt so bad to see you with another
Em                          G          D
Guess I'm the fool that ya, ya think I am
 
G                        D          A
I never meant to be your part-time lover
G                             D        A
Then again I've never been a full-time man
G                                 D             A
Never thought it'd hurt so bad to see you with another
Em                          G          D
Guess I'm the fool that ya, (Guess I'm the fool that ya)
 
G                        D          A
I never meant to be your part-time lover
G                             D        A
Then again I've never been a full-time man
G                                 D             A
Never thought it'd hurt so bad to see you with another
Em                          G          D
Guess I'm the fool that ya, ya think I am
 
I never meant to be your fool
I never meant to be your fool
I walked away from every good think that I had.

D                     G
Between the miles of open roads
A                     G
I lost sight of what might matter the most
D                     G                 A
I stumbled into the great unknown and found
      Bm   A          G
That time won't slow down


D            A             Bm       F#m
I'm getting by with my collapsible lung
           Gsus  G                 A
And it's a good time a hundred percent of the time and I'm
D        A            Bm      G
Like a ladder with a missing rung
        Gsus  G           A
It's a slow climb headed back to the sky and I'm


G                           A
Feeling backwards when I'm trying the most
       Bm                                          Gm
And I hope I haven't head the last words from the Holy Ghost
          Gsus            G          A                        D
Cause I think that I'm supposed to be well on my way by now


D         A               Bm        F#m
I do the twist with my replaceable hips
              Gsus   G
And turn you right round
              A
Then dig you down to the ground and I
D                A                Bm     G
I wan't to grow old and rub your tired limbs
           Gsus G
And take it easy
A                      G
Until we whither away
A
Until we whither away


D                     G
Between the miles of open roads
A                     G
I lost sight of what might matter the most
D                     G                 A
I stumbled into the great unknown and found
A
That time can't slow down

D                     G
To take a breath and then take it in
A                    G
To think places I'll go I haven't been
D                       G
To pour my heart into everything
      A     Bm   A           G
I've found time won't slow down


G                     A
I'm feeling backwards
       Bm
And I hope I haven't heard the last words
Gm
No no no
         G                           A
Cause I think that I'm supposed to be well on my way


D          G
ay ay ay
       A      G
ay ay ay       ooh ooh ooh ooh
D                      G                A          A7
To pour my heart into everything I've found

Between the miles of open roads
A                     G
I lost sight of what might matter the most

              D                                          
Now there's a missing person poster hanging up at the bar

  If life's worth living without you
             G
Hope I never have to

We get home from church and the baby
                      
Is in her room sleepin'
              Am
Or watchin' a movie
               F

  If life's worth living without you

Hope I never have to
                 C
The stars could align

Or explode in the sky
C
 If I already know about
Am                                 D
  Everything that could bring us down
                   G
But I react a bit faster
                C     G
I'm averting disaster
              D
One day at a time
   Am   G/B
Disaster

Disaster

You gotta treat every day like a holiday


G
And I'm telling you
G                 A                 F#
That I know some days I'm gonna stumble
F#             Bm            A   G
And I know the cookie's gonna crumble
G                                        Gm
And I know that life is gonna suck some days
But I can't complain

Can't Complain

Hey, I try to run away
                              G                     C

When I see you again that's when it starts
 
Am                          C           G
We break just like it ain't no thing

But we ridin' on a boomerang
Am                      C         G
Our love is like a rubber band

Boomerang

Verse 1:
G			D 
I've given up on giving up slowly
C
I'm blending in so you won't even know me
Em		D			     G  Bm  C
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
G             D   
This one last call that You mentioned 
C
Is my one last shot at redemption 
Em			D             G        Bm   C
Because I know to live you must give your life away 

Prechorus: 
          
               Em               C       G         D
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity 
               Em                C              G                 D
And I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key 
              Em                C              G                 D
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me 
         A                          C     
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm 
D
going 

Because 




Chorus:
   G   D            C       D
   I     gotta get outta here 
    G                D             C          D 
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake 
G    D          C         D
   I     gotta get outta here
         Em          D            C              D
And I'm begging You, begging You, begging You to be my escape. 

Verse 2
Chorus 2

Bridge:
Em               C  
I am a hostage    to my own humanity 
Em                           C
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made 
Em                       C   
And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me
A                     C                     D (let ring)
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave 

Chorus 

Outro/Ending

Be My Escape

Verse 1
Am
I think you know what I'm getting at
F
I find it so upsetting that
Dm
The memories that you select
 G                                       Em
You keep the bad but the good you just forget
Am
And even though I'm angry I can still say
F
I know my heart will break the day
Dm
When you peel out and drive away
G                           Em
I can't believe this happened

Pre Chorus
F                                     C
And all this time I never thought
F                                      C      Em
That all we had would be all for naught

Chorus
F
No, I don't hate you
Am
Don't want to fight you
Dm
Know I'll always love you
Am
But right now I just don't like you
F
No, I don't hate you
Am
Don't want to fight you 
Dm
Know I'll always love you
F
But right now I just don't like you
F
Cause you took this too far (too far)

Verse 2
Am
Make your decision and don't you dare think twice 
F
Go with your instincts along with some bad advice
Dm
This didn't turn out the way I thought it would at all
G                           Em
You blame me but some of this is still your fault
Am
I tried to move you, but you just wouldn't budge
F
I tried to hold your hand but you'd rather hold your grudge
Dm
I think you know what I'm getting at
G                                         Em
You said goodbye and I just don't want you regretting that 
 
Chorus


Bridge
F
And wisdom always chooses 

These black eyes and these bruises
Am
Over the heartache that they say 

Never completely goes away

F
And wisdom always chooses 

These black eyes and these bruises
Am
Over the heartache that they say 

Never completely goes away


Bridge 2
Gm                   F#m
What happened to us
F                                           C
I heard that it's me we should blame
Gm                   F#m
What happened to us
F                                                          C
Why didn't you stop me from turnin out this way
Gm                             F#m
And know that I don't hate you
F                                            C
And know that I Don't want to fight you
Gm                             F#m
And know I'll always love you
F                             C
But right now I just don't...


Which To Bury Us Or The Hatchet

(Intro)

Chords: C  D  Em  G  C  D  Em  G  C  D


(Verse 1)

G
  I watched the proverbial sunrise

C
  coming up over the Pacific and

Em
  you might think I'm losing my mind,

D
  but I will shy away from the specifics...


C                           D           Em
  'cause I don't want you to know where I am

         C                 D
  'cause then you'll see my heart

         Em
  in the saddest state it's ever been.


C                    D
  This is no place to try and live my life.


[Pre-Chorus]

(low)G      G            D              D/F#
  Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.

C         Em           D
  See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.

(low)G      G            D#2                D/F#
  Stop right there. Well I never should have said

                C/B        C
  that it's the very moment that

    D
  I wish that I could take back.


[Chorus]

G                                    D  Em
  I'm sorry for the person I became.

                                                   D  G        
  I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.

                                                   D Em
  I'm ready to try and never become that way again

                                 C
  'cause who I am hates who I've been.

        D                
  Who I am hates who I've been.


(Intro)


(Verse 2)

G
  I talk to absolutely no one.

C
  Couldn't keep to myself enough.

          Em
  And the things bottled inside have finally begun

     D
  to create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.



G
  I heard the reverberating footsteps

C
  synching up to the beating of my heart,

Em                                 D
  and I was positive that unless I got myself together,


  I would watch me fall apart.



      C               D      Em
  And I can't let that happen again

         C                 D
  'cause then you'll see my heart

         Em
  in the saddest state it's ever been.

  C                  D
  This is no place to try and live my life.


[Soft Pre-Chorus]

G
  Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.

C
  See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.

Em
  Stop right there. Well I never should have said

D
  that it's the very moment that I wish that I could take back.


[Regular Pre-Chorus]


[Chorus]


[Bridge]

G/B    C                D
  Who I am hates who I've been

                                               D        Em
  and who I am will take the second chance you gave me.

        C                G 
  Who I am hates who I've been

                       D
  'cause who I've been only ever made me...

Who I Am Hates Who I've Been

A                                       C#m                  D
Let it all out, (Get it all out) rip it out remove it, Don't be alarmed
                         A
When the wound begins to bleed
               A
Cause we're so scared to find out, (What this life's all about)
C#m                                   D
So scared we're going to lose it, Not knowing all along
               A
That's exactly what we need
    D                                                F#m
And today I will trust you with the confidence, Of a man who's never 
E                 E                      D                  F#m
known defeat, But tomorrow, upon hearing what I did, I will stare at 
       E              D           F#m E E       D      E
you in disbelief, Oh, inconsistent me, Crying out for consistency

Chorus
    A         C#m                  D
And you said I know that this will hurt
F#m            E                     D
But if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse
A             C#m               D
If the burden seems too much to bear, Remember
F#m           E           E       D       E      A
Then end will justify the pain it took to get us there

         A
And I'll let it be known, (At times I have shown) 
C#m                           D                A
Signs of all my weakness, But somewhere in me, there is strength
    A                                     C#m
And you promise me, (That you believe) In time I will defeat this
      D                A
Cause somewhere in me, There is strength

    D
And today I will trust you with the confidence
     F#m             E                     E               D
Of a man who's never known defeat, And I'll try my best to just forget
E
That man isn't me

*Chorus* x2

A F#m C#m D

     A                         F#m                            C#m 
Reach out to me, Make my heart brand new, Every beat will be for you
    D
For you
A                        F#m                       C#m 
And I know you know, You touched my life, When you touched my heavy 
                  D
heart and made it light     

A F#m C#m D E A

Let It All Out

B  E  Abm  F#  E x2
 
B
We were talking together
 
I said, "what's up with this weather?"
           E
Don't know whether or not
 
How sad I just got
          Abm
Was of my own volition.
      F#                   E
Or if I'm just missing the sun
 
B
And tomorrow, I know,
 
Will be rainy at best.
        E
And the forecast, I know,
 
Is that I'll be depressed.
         Abm
But I'll wait outside
            F#                      E
Hoping that I'll catch sight of the sun.
 
        B      F#
Because on and off,
    Abm         E
The clouds have fought
      E              B   
For control over the sky
 
     E          F#
And lately the weather
      Abm      E
Has been so Bi-polar
E                F#      E
And Consequently so have I
 
            B            E
And now I'm sunny with a High
Abm F#
of 75
          E             B
Since You took my heavy heart
    Abm      F#
And made it light
        B             E
And its funny how you find
    Abm        F#
You enjoy your life
            E        F#   B
When you're happy to be alive
 
        B
And the temperature is freezing
 
And then, after dark,
           E
There is a cold frost sweeping
 
In over my heart
       Abm
And we might break up
     F#                   E
If I don't wake up to the sun
         B      F#
Because on and off,
    Abm         E
The clouds have fought
      E              B   
For control over the sky
 
     E          F#
And lately the weather
      Abm      E
Has been so Bi-polar
E                F#      E
And Consequently so have I
 
            B            E
And now I'm sunny with a High
Abm F#
of 75
          E             B
Since You took my heavy heart
    Abm      F#
And made it light
        B             E
And its funny how you find
    Abm        F#
You enjoy your life
            E        F#   B
When you're happy to be alive
 
            B            E
And now I'm sunny with a High
Abm F#
of 75
          E             B
Since You took my heavy heart
    Abm      F#
And made it light
        B             E
And its funny how you find
    Abm        F#
You enjoy your life
            E        F#   
When you're happy to be 
B
alive

High Of 75

Mmhmm

Verse 1:
C#m
Fear can drive stick and it's taking me down this road
B			        C#m
A road down which I swore I'd never go                             
A	      C#m	         
And here I sit thinking of God knows what
E/Ab 	       			C#m 	
Afraid to admit I might self-destruct


Pre Chorus:
A		C#m 
So lock the windows and bolt the door
    A			B  	        C  		
Cuz I've got enough problems without creating more


Chorus:
A 		   E
I feel like I was born to devastation and reform
C#m                                    B
Destroying everything I loved and the worst part is                
A			    E		
I pull my heart out, reconstruct and in the end it's nothing but
    F#m                               A
The shell of what I had when I first started


Interlude:  C#m


Verse 2:
E				 B/D#                             E
Usually I'll cause my own first hit it seems to me to be slightly masochistic
NC
But there'd be no story without all this dissension
   Ab             Ab                 C#m        C#m
So I inflict the conflict with the utmost of contemption


(Pre Chorus) (Chorus)

Bridge:
A		E
Thank you God for giving me the insight
C#m       B
So I might make these wrongs right                               
A           E
If and when there ever is a next time
C#m              B
Cuz failure is a blessing in disguise
A                 E
Pull my heart out, reconstruct
C#m		B
And in the end it's nothing but
A                                    B                
The shell of what I had when I first started
F#m                 C#m              D       C#m Ab			 
The shell of what I had when I first started

(Chorus)

Outro:
When I first started
F#m					C#m
The shell of what I had when I first started

Devastation And Reform

Intro
G D Em C D Bm G D C Cm

G          Em                   
       So, I've made up my mind
C        D          Em                  G
  I will pretend to leave this world behind
      D      Em                     
  And in the end, you'll know I've lied
  C            D
  To get your attention
      Bm             Em  D    C    Cm
  I'm faking my own suicide

      G      D      Em
  I'm faking my own suicide
  C                  G
  Because I know you love me
           C          D
  You just haven't realized

      G      D     Em
  I'm faking my own suicide
          C             D
  They'll hold a double funeral
          Bm                Em
  Because apart of you will die
  D          C    Cm
  Along with me

  I wish you thought that I was dead
  So rather than me you'd be depressed instead
  And before arriving at my grave
  You'd come to the conclusion
  You'd loved me all your days
  But it's too late
  Too late for you to say

  Because I'm faking my own suicide
  Because I know you love me
  You just haven't realized

  Oh, I'm faking my own suicide
  They'll hold a double funeral
  Because apart of you will die
  Along with me

  I'll write you a letter that you'll keep
  Reminding you your love for me is more than six feet deep
  You say aloud that you would have been my wife
  Write about that time is when I come back to life
  And let you know
  I'd let you know all along I was...
  All along I was faking my own suicide
  Because I know you love me
  You just haven't realized

  I was faking my own suicide
  I'll walk in that room and see your eyes opened so wide
  Opened so wide
  Because you know


              Bm             C              D
  Because you know you will never leave my site
	     Bm         C                 D
  Until the day that I die for the first time
	     Bm         C                       D
  And we'll laugh, yeah we'll laugh And we will cry
           Bm          C              D
  So overjoyed at the love that's so alive
                 G
  Our love is so alive

Faking My Own Suicide

Verse 1:

D#                                    F#
Oh yes, I know this tension that you speak of
G#                      B             D#
We're in the palm of a hand making a fist
D#                              F#
It'd be best for one of us to speak up
G#                   B                D#
But we prefer to pretend it does not exist


Pre-Chorus:

C#                                      B
And you can't see past the blood on my hands
                                Bb
To see that you've been aptly damned
                  D#
To fail and fail again


Chorus:

D#                                  G#
Cause we're all guilty of the same things
                C                                 Bb
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
       D#                      G#
And I know that I have been forgiven
             C                      Bb
And I just hope you can forgive me too


Verse 2:

D#
So don't you dare blame me for
Prying open the door
F#
That's unleashed the bitterness
That's here in the midst of this
G#                     B             D#
Sometimes we live for no one but ourselves
And what we've been striving for
Has turned into nothing more
F#
Than bodies limp on the floor
Victims of falling short
G#                    B                D#
We kiss goodbye the cheek of our true love


Pre-Chorus 2:
(strum on the off beat until D#)

C#                                      B
And you can't see past the blood on my hands
                                Bb
To see that you've been aptly damned
                  D#
To fail and fail again


Chorus:

D#                                  G#
Cause we're all guilty of the same things
                C                                 Bb
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
       D#                      G#
And I know that I have been forgiven

And I just hope you can forgive me too

Forgiven

A                  F#m               
No one told me the right way
                     E               
The right way to go about this
        D                    A          
So I'll figure it out for myself
      A                       F#m     
Cause how much is too much to give you
       E                                  
Well I may never know so 
          D                          A               
I'll just give until there's nothing else

          A                  
Yeah I'll give, give, give, until there's nothing else
E                                        
Give my life, until it all runs out
Bm                   D                           
Give, give, and I'll have no regrets
     E                  D                  A                
I'll give until there's nothing left, I'll give


No one told me how bad I need you
But I somehow arrived at that conclusion all by myself
And I want all you have to offer
So I'll offer myself and I'll just give until there's nothing else

Yeah I'll give, give, give
Until there's nothing else
Give my all, until it all runs out
Give, give, and I'll have no regrets
I'll give until there's nothing left, I'll 
Give, give, give
Until there's nothing else
Give my all, until it all runs out
Give, give, and I'll have no regrets
I'll give until there's nothing left

Bm
Sometime it seems like all I ever do
   D                                               
Is ask for things, until I ask too much of you
    A                                               
But that's not the way that I want to live
G                                       D              
I need to change and something's got to give
     E                                   
Yeah something's got to ...
A
Give, give, give
Until there's nothing else
Give my life, until it all runs out
Give, give, and I'll have no regrets
I'll give until there's nothing left, I'll 
Give, give, give
Until there's nothing else
Give my All, until it all runs out
Give, give
I'll give until there's nothing left
I'll Give

Give Until Theres Nothing Left

Intro/Verse 1
G~                    D~                       A~
We should get jerseys, cause we make a good team
    G~                            D~                             A~
But yours would look better than mine, cause you're out of my league
      G                            D
And I know that it's so clich?, to tell you that everyday
   A
I spend with you is the new best day of my life
G                          D
Everyone watching us, just turns away with disgust,
      A
it's jealousy, they can see, that we got it goin' on


Pre-Chorus
        Em                     G
And I'm racking my brain for a new-improved way to let you
D                   A
know you're more to me than what I know how to say
Em                  G
Are you ok with the way this is going to be?
D                       A
Cause this is going to be the best thing we've ever seen


Chorus
    D            A         D             A
If anyone could make me a better person you could
C               G         C            G
All I've got to say is I must've done something good
    D            A              D          A
You came around one day and you rearranged my life
C               G         C            G         A
All I've got to say is I must've done something right

G                           D                                  A
Believe that somebody like you, would end up with someone like me
       G                           D
And I know that it's so clich? to talk about you this way
     A
But I'll push all my inhibitions aside
G                    D
So very obvious, to everyone watching us
     A
That we got somethin' real good goin on

                                         F#                  B

                    E                      F#

            As here and now


Pre Chorus :       B
            Cause when I looked into your eyes 
  
                      Abm
            And you dared to stare right back

                              E                    F#

Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care

Intro:
                F
I can smell the death on the sheets, covering me
                             C     G
I can't believe this is the end

Chorus:

    C          F          G         Am
But this is my deathbed I lie here alone
      C            F         G            C
If I close my eyes tonight I know I'll be home

Verse 1:

    C                       Gm
The year was nineteen forty one I was
Bb                               F
Eight years old and Far far too young
   C                        Gm
To know that the stories Of battles and glory
      Bb                      F
Was a tale a kind mother made up for her son You see
C                   Gm
Dad was a traveling preacher
Bb                        F
Teaching the words of the Teacher
    C                     Gm
But mother had sworn went off to the war
    Bb                    F
And died there with honor somewhere on a beach there

       Am                 A/G#
But he left once to never return
      C/G                     D/F#
Which taught me that I should unlearn
Fmaj7                C/E
Whatever I thought a father should be
  Cm                             D
I abandoned that thought Like he abandoned me

   D                 D/C#
By forty seven I was fourteen
    D/C                             G/B
I'd acquired a taste for liquor and nicotine
Gm/B                 D/A
I smoked until I threw up
                    A      A/G#        A/G           D/F#
Yet I still lit 'em up for thirty more years Like a machine

   Fmaj7                C
So right there you have it
     Fmaj7           C
That one filthy habit
        Dm           C      G
Is what got me where I am today

Intro:
                Fmaj7
I can smell the death on the sheets Covering me
                            C     G
I can't believe this is the end
                 FamJ7
I can hear those sad memories Still haunting me
                       C    G
So many things I'd do again

Chorus:

    C           F         G        Am
But this is my deathbed I lie here alone
      C              F       G            C
If I close my eyes tonight I know I'll be home

Verse 2:

      C                    Gm
I got married on my twenty first
Bb                     F
Eight months before my wife would give birth
     C                     Gm
It's easier to be sure you love someone
         Bb                       F
When her father inquires with the barrel of a gun


    Am                 Am/G#
The union was far from harmonious
       C/G                         D/F#
No two people could have been more alone than us
    Fmaj7                       C/E
The years would go by and she'd love someone else
    Cm                       D
And I realized I hadn't been loved yet myself

    D                    D/C#           D/C
And there's your typical spiel Yeah, if life was a highway
      G/B                       Gm/Bb                D/A
I was drunk at the wheel I was helping the loose ends All fall apart
       A            A/G#       A/G                    D/F#
Yeah I swear I was destined to fail And fail from the start


  Fmaj7                    C
I bowled about six times a week
    Fmaj7                   C
The bottle of Beam kept the memories from me
    Fmaj7                 C
The marriage had taken a seven-ten split
Dm            C            G
Along with my pride the ex-wife took the kids

Intro:

                F
I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
                            G     C
I can't believe this is the end
                 F
I can hear those sad memories still haunting me so many things
        G    C
I'd do again

Chorus:

    C           F         G        Am
But this is my deathbed I lie here alone
     C             F
If I close my eyes tonight
  G            C
I know I'll be home

Verse 3:

      C                      Gm
I was so scared of Jesus but He sought me out
         Bb                        F
Like the cancer in my lungs that's killing me now
         C                    Gm
And I've given up hope on the days I have left
      Bb                      F
But I cling to the hope of my life in the next


     Am                    A/G#
Then Jesus showed up said "Before we go"
   A/G                      D/F#
"I thought that we might reminisce"
     Fmaj7                           C/E
"See one night in your life When you turned out the light"
     Cm/Eb                    D
"You asked for and prayed for my forgiveness"

Bridge:

          D        Bm                     A
You cried wolf The tears they soaked your fur
    G5                       Em7
The blood dripped from your fangs
    D                  A
You said, "What have I done?"
               Em7       D            Bm
You loved that lamb With every sinful bone
     A              G5        Em              A
And there you wept alone Your heart was so contrite
           Em7            D                G5
You said, "Jesus, please forgive me of my crimes
Em7            D                G5
Sanctify this withered heart of mine
Em            D                 G5
Stay with me until my life is through
   Em7                 D                 G5
And on that day please take me home with you"

Intro:
                 G5
I can smell the death on the sheets covering me
                            D   A
I can't believe this is the end
               G5
I can hear You whisper to me, "It's time to leave
                 Bb      D     A
You'll never be lonely again"

Chorus:

    D            G5        A          Bm
But this was my deathbed I died there alone
       D               G5          A        G/D   D   G/D    D   repeat.
When I closed my eyes tonight You carried me home

Outro:

D        D/F#       Bm7             G   A
I am the Way follow Me and take My hand
    D        D/F#      Bm7          A           G
And I am the Truth, embrace Me and you'll understand
    D        D/F#         D/C               G
And I am the Light and for Me you'll live again
    G A  Bm   G  A  Bm
For I am Love I am Love
D   Em    G A  D
I----I  , I am Love

Deathbed

[Verse:]

A                  G
I'd better rest my eyes
                   F
'Cause I'm growing weary of
    (F)                   
This point you've been trying to make
A               G
So rather than imply
                   F
Why don't you just verbalize
       (F)
All the things that you're trying to say

A                              G
Thought this would turn out so well
        F
But I'm beginning to see
    (F)
That instead it's trouble
A                 G
Into a pattern we fell
   F               (F)
Of prolonging the inevitable

[Chorus:]

C
Why don't you
                   A
Come right out and say it?
F
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
G
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere

C
Why don't you
                   A
Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)?
F
What it is you're thinking
           G
Though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear

[Verse:]

A                 G
I better check my pride
              F
Because I was starting to think
(F)
I was on to something good
A                     G
But things started to slide
                  F
And I sit here in retrospect
          (F)
And understanding that I misunderstood
A                            G
Thought I could make up your mind
                 F
And then this decision locks up
  (F)
So tight it couldn't be touched
A                         G
Thought you were being so kind
                 F
But keeping your mouth sealed shut
(F)
Rather than just opening it up

[Chorus]
C
Why don't you
                   A
Come right out and say it?
F
Even if the words are probably gonna hurt
G
I'd rather have the truth than something insincere

C
Why don't you
                   A
Come right out and say it (come right out and say it)?
F
What it is you're thinking
           G
Though I'm thinking it's not what I wanna hear

D
And I tried
   C (1 Strum)
To guess what goes on in your head
A              G
'Cause in your mind
             D
I just might find
          C                 A   G
All those things you left unsaid
D               C (1 Strum)
And I'll try to maybe not regret anything
A       G
Later on after I'm gone
D                C
You'll wish that you
                A  G (Build up) (G)
Had listened to me (listened to me)

[Chorus: Single Strums]


C
Why don't you
A
Come right out and say it
F                          (G)
Even if the words are gonna hurt
We're better off this way
C
Why don't you
A                                 F
Come right out and say come right out and say
                  (G)
What I know you're thinking anyway

[Chorus]

Come Right Out And Say It

Intro: Am F C G Am

F
I've dug up miles and miles of sand
                               C
Searching for something I can't see
                                       G
And I've just got bruised and battered hands
                              Am
And a brand new void inside of me
Complete with walls I did create
                                  F
From all the earth that I've displaced
A mess that I have made from what
                           C
I've just let pile and pile up
I have not been abandoned, no I have not been
G
Deserted and I have not been forgotten
Am
I need you
F          C
I need you here

I need you now
        G
I need security somehow
Am
I need you
     F
Like you would not believe
C
You're the only thing I want
              G
Cause you're everything I need

Explore the cave that is my chest
A torch reveals there's nothing left
Your whispers echo off the walls
And you can hear my distant calls
The voice of who I used to be
Screaming out "someone, someone please
Please shine a light into the black
Wade through the depths and bring me back

I have not been abandoned, no I have not been
Deserted and I have not been forgotten

Am
I need you
F          C
I need you here

I need you now
        G
I need security somehow
Am
I need you
     F
Like you would not believe
C
You're the only thing I want
              G
Cause you're everything I need

When my hopes seem to dangle
Somewhere just beyond my reach
You say you've heard my prayers
And read my words there on the beach

Am
I need you
F          C
I need you here

I need you now
        G
I need security somehow
Am
I need you
     F
Like you would not believe
C
You're the only thing I want
              G
Cause you're everything I need

I Need You

I Hate Christmas Parties

Intro
E     A2     C#m  B  A2

VERSE 1
E                                A2
It's always nice to look out the window
E                                      A2
And see those very first few flakes of snow
C#m                      A2 
And later on we can go outside
    C#m                         B            A2               
And create the impression of an angel that just fell from the sky

VERSE 2
     F#m            E           B       
When February rolls around I'll roll my eyes
F#m                           E     B       
Turn a cold shoulder to these even colder skies
F#m                E      B          A2    
And by the fire my heart it heaves a sigh
(hold A2)
For the green grass waiting on the other side

CHORUS
E                      A2
It's always winter but never Christmas
F#m                       A2      B
It seems this curse just can't be lifted
    E                        A2
Yet in the midst of all this ice and snow
F#m                        B        A2          E (ring out)
Our hearts stay warm cause they are filled with hope


VERSE 3
E                               A2
It'd be so nice to look out the window
     E                                   A2
And see the leaves on the trees begin to show
    C#m                        A2
The birds would congregate and sing
C#m       B           A2
A song of birth a song of newer things

VERSE 4
F#m                         E         B
The wind would calm and the sun would shine
F#m                    E         B
I'd go outside and I'd squint my eyes
F#m                E       B       A2
But for now I will simply just withdraw
(hold A2)
Sit here and wish for this world to thaw

CHORUS
E                      A2
It's always winter but never Christmas
F#m                       A2      B
It seems this curse just can't be lifted
    E                        A2
Yet in the midst of all this ice and snow
F#m                        B        A2          E (ring out)
Our hearts stay warm cause they are filled with hope

BRIDGE
A2                E
And everything it changed overnight
C#m                  B                  A2
This dying world you brought it back to life
           E
And deep inside I felt things
C#m                     B
Shifting everything was melting
A2       B
Away oh away
C#m                      B            A2
And you gave us the most beautiful of days

CHORUS 2
E                                       A2
Cause when it's always winter but never Christmas
F#m                     A2         B	
Sometimes it feels like you're not with us
E                   A2
But deep inside our hearts we know
F#m                   B       A2       E
That you are here and we will not lose hope

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Intro

VERSE 1
     G            D      A   
And with this Christmas wish is missed
     Bm       A     G
The point I could convey 
                 G         D      Asus            A  
If only I could find the words to say to let you know
     A             A
How much You've touched my life
        G          D             A
Because, here is where You're finding me
        Bm          A       G
In the exact same place as New Year's Eve
             G     D     Asus
And from a lack of my persistancy
                 A                   A
We're less than half as close as I wanted to be


CHORUS
          G
And the first time
           A
That you opened Your eyes 
          Bm                  D
did you relize that You would be my Savior
          G
And the first breath
      A
That left Your lips
         Bm                             D
Did You know that it would change the world forever


VERSE 2
    G           D      A
And so this Christmas I'll compare
      Bm         A        G
The things I've felt in prior years
    G           D     Asus
To what this midnight made so clear
      A        A       A       A
That you have come to meet me here

BRIDGE
G             D
 To look back, and think that
Bm                A
 This baby would one day save me
G                 D
 In the hope that, you did
Bm              A
 That you were born so I might live
G             D
 To look back, and think that
Bm                A
 This baby would one day save me

REPEAT CHORUS A FEW TIMES

OUTRO
    D       A           G
And I, I celebrate the day
G              A       G
That You were born to die
   A                 G
So I could one day pray for You to save my life
 G                       G
Pray for You to save my life

Gotta say, thank God for that

I'm torn between what keeps me whole and what tears me in half

I'll fall apart, or stay intact

With tired eyes I stumble back to bed

I need to realize my sorry life's not hanging by a thread
              G
At least not yet


-Chorus-

So look at me now

It's finally Christmas and I'm home 
        G                           F
Head indoors, to get out of this weather
                  F                     Am
And I don't know how, but the closest friends I've ever known 
          G               Dm
are all inside singing together

-Verse 2-
     Am            C          F
It always hurts to be all by myself this time of year
             Am      Em     F
A cold and lonely Christmas Eve
           Am            C                  F
And living out my days alone, well that had been my deepest fear
           Am     Em         F
But you promised, you won't leave
   G                Am            F
I look towards the east and see a star
  G                  Em                F
Jesus Christ, it's blessed my life to know just who you are
            G
You are my hope

Less Is More

G             C         G       D
 Am I at the point     of no improvement?
 G           C        EM         D   
 What of the death I still dwell in?
 G          C            G         D
 I try to excel, but I feel no movement.
G         C             EM          D
 Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?

CHORUS:

G      C     G          D
Never underestimate my Jesus.

You're telling me there's no hope.
 EM                    D
I'm telling you your wrong.

Now I'm searching for the confidence I've lost so willingly

Bm                    
It's the principle  
G 
it's the issue 
D                  A 
that your priciple will dismiss you. 
 
Bm                       G                         
Because you don't fit into that all-American box  
D                        A                   
that coffin created for created thought. 
 
Chorus: 
 
G                
Its disgusting  
A 
his priority  
Bm                      D  
And how were entrusting him  
     A      G 
with authority  
 
G               A                            D 
The gavels gone down before he looked in your heart  
                 Bm      A                     G      A 
He finished this racism before he reached the start. 
 
 D                     A
Jesus loved the outcasts. 
     D                         A                            G
He loves the one the world just loves to hate.  
D                                   A
And as long as there's a heaven. 
                    D              A                G
There'll be a Failure to Excommunicate.  
 
(Play this part three times.)




Verse 2: 
 
Bm 
The world just keeps you  
G 
at an arm's length.   
D               A 
Every week you work up the strength 
Bm                            G                  
to fight the flames that are hurled, let you faith shine  
       D   
right through  
A 
you know its the world verses Jesus and you. 
 
Chorus: 
 
G                
Its disgusting  
A 
his priority  
Bm                      D  
And how were entrusting him  
     A      G 
with authority  
 
G                A                             D  
The gavels gone down before he looked in your heart  
                 Bm      A                     G      A    Bm 
He finished this racism before he reached the start.

Failure To Excommunicate

C                      G
I think we're going somewhere
 Am                   F
We're on to something good here
 C           G                 Am
Out of mind, Out of state
          F
Trying to keep my head on straight
 C                      G
I think we're going somewhere
 Am                   F
We're on to something good here
 C                     G                   Am
There's only one thing left to do, 
                     F
Drop all I have and go with you



 Dm                G
Somewhere back there,
                          C
I left my worries all behind
                   G                   Dm
My problems fell out of the back of my mind
                           G
We're going and I'm never knowing
 C                         G
Never knowing where we're going
 F                                       G
To go back to where I was would just be wrong
 C
I'm pressing on


         G        Am               F           C
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone
        G           Am    F
Pressing on, Pressing on,
        C          G        Am            F
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore
            C         G              Am                F 
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door
            Am               F                 G
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
 C
I'm pressing on


 C                      G
I think we're going somewhere
 Am                   F
We're on to something good here
 C           G                Am
Out of mind, Out of state
          F                     C
Trying to keep my head on straight
                 G
I think we're going somewhere
 Am              F
We're on to something good here
 C             G             
Adversity, we get around it.
  Am                  F
Searched for joy, in you I found it.



Dm                G
Somewhere back there,
                         C
I left my worries all behind
                    G                   Dm
My problems fell out of the back of my mind
                                G
We're going and I'm never knowing
 C                         G
Never knowing where we're going
 F                                       G
To go back to where I was would just be wrong
 C
I'm pressing on


         G        Am               F           C
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone
        G           Am    F
Pressing on, Pressing on,
        C          G                        Am            F
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore
            C               G                Am         F 
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door
            Am               F                 G
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
 C
I'm pressing on




 C              G                       Am                  F
You look down on me, but you don't look down on me at all.
 C               G                       Am                  F
You smile and laugh, and I feel the love you have for me.
 C                         G                          Am                  F
I think we're going somewhere. We're on to something good here,
 F               G              C
and we're gonna make it after all.

I guess it's safe to say you're never coming back
A            F#m                    D
And I understand why you wouldn't want to
E                    F#m          D      E      A   D
I guess it's up to me to find a way to get to you


PRECHORUS: 
    A     E    D
And I can't see you
A      E     D
Getting used to
A      E      D             E
Living in the midst of your perfection
    A   E  D
And I'm so lost

How can you trust
A             E       D     E
Somewhere the sun is always shining


CHORUS:

And there's just one last thing that I have to say
        D
As we reflect on the mess of all this that I've made
       A                      E
It was cowardice that made me push you away
      D

I was so afraid cause you were so much better than me

So here I sit looking at the traffic lights
                                                 F#
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
                                         C#
I want to run away I want to ditch my life
                    Ab                        Bb
Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night

                                          C#
And after all of my alibis desert me

I just want to get by

I don't want nothing to hurt me

Because I just want for all of this to end

And I so hate consequences

Tearing down

Every stoplight

And stop sign in this town

Now I think there might
                         Ab
Be no way to stop me now

I'll get away despite

The fact I'm so weighed down

All of my escapes have been exhausted

I thought I had a way but then I lost it
F#                                  Ab
And my resistance was once much stronger

When I got tired of running from you

I stopped right there to catch my breath
                                      C#
There your words they caught my ears 
                     Ab               C#
You said, "I miss you son. Come home"
                                     Bb
And my sins, they watched me leave

And in my heart I so believed 
                                 C#
The love you felt for me was mine 
                          Ab         Eb
The love I'd wished for all this time 

And when the doors were closed
Bb                Ab
I heard no I told you so's

I said the words I knew you knew

Oh God, Oh God I needed you

  I hate these Consequences

I So Hate Consequences

#Tuning: Capo 1


Verse 1:
              C
And I've collected all these thoughts
        Am
And I'm dying just to lose them
            F
And if your words are true or not
     G
I'll die trying to prove them
    C                    F
But I'll just have to accept
                       Am
That my mind is so inept
                             G
And the only thing that's left

For me to do is to trust you


Pre-Chorus:
     C       G
Convince me
           F  
Because I really need your help
       C       G
Oh convince me
           F  
Because I can't see this for myself

Chorus:
C                           
I'll put the emphasis on the evidence
F                   G
Begging for the proof
F                     G                       C
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth


Verse 2:
C
This is so unnerving 
                    Am 
I know you've never lied to me before                       
          F
but the things you're telling me 
                    G
I can't yet believe yet can't ignore
C                           F
But I'll just have to accept
                        Am 
That my mind is so inept
                           G
And the only thing that's left

For me to do is to trust you

Chorus:
C                      
Put the emphasis on the evidence
G                  F
Begging for the proof
C                     F                       C        G
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
C
Attempt to place our lives into your hands
G                      F
Confide in what you'll do
C                      F
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth


Bridge:
C
It's a world full of cynics
Am
Who say to stay alive in it
G                    F        
You gotta stick with what you know
C
But the soul is always aching
Am
For the heart to start taking
G           F       C
A chance by letting go
C   G
So let go
C    G   C
Let go

Chorus:
F                     G                       C        G
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
C
Attempt to place our lives into your hands
G                      F
Confide in what you'll do
F                           G
Cause sometimes when you're trying to sleep
F                            C
And all your doubts and your faith don't agree its cause
F                      G                               C
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth

The Truth

Gm                                A#
Hey taxi, send me straight to the heart of it
Eb             Fsus2             Gm
The nucleus of politics was somebody
A#       Fsus2   Gm
Somebody started it
Gm                                 A#
Cause they taxed me with a scalpel piece by piece
Gm                  A#        Fsus2                     Eb
they cut me deep and let me dry until there was nothing left to bleed

[PreChorus:]
Gm
And this is how I choose to live 
A#
As if I'm jumping off a cliff
Eb                  A#
knowing that you'll save me
Fsus2        Gm         Fsus2
knowing that you'll save me 
Gm                               
and after all the stupid things I did
A#
there's nothing left that you'd forgive 
D#                                         A#
because you already forgave me 
Fsus2                                    Gm
yeah you already forgave me

Gm
Keep driving
A#
leave this deceit miles behind me
D#                                     Fsus2       A#
so far back I'd have to rack my mind  
A#
to just remind me 

Gm                                A#
I keep trying to pick myself up 
A#
and then move on 
D#                                  Fsus2
and think about the life I'll have 
                   Gm                     D#
when this fragile one is gone.

[Chorus]
Gm            A#
Never forget
D#                           A#                Fsus2
there's life after death and taxes

Gm                 A#
Forgiveness comes
D#                      A#
and all of the rest 
              Fsus2  Cm
is what passes away
Cm              F          A#    F   Gm
Death and decay can't touch us now

D#                                    Fsus2                           Gm                      Fsus2
Every breath that I inhale is followed by exhaling trust the one who never fails
Fsus2
I know you'll never failed me


Never forget 
there's life after death and taxes
Forgiveness come (forgiveness come)
and all of the rest 
it just passes away

Death and decay can't touch us now

Life After Death And Taxes

And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring

G                                    Em
If its drama you want then look no further

                     C                                D
They're like the Real World, meets Boy Meets World, meets Days of our Lives

G                                  Em
And it just kills me how they get away with murder

               C                                      D
They're anger you then bat their eyes... those pretty eyes that watch you sympathize

C     Em      D

     C         Em                   D
And I've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man

C        D             G               Em
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings

 C                    D
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off

G                      Em                   C                      D
cause we'll know just what they're thinking...just what they're thinking

G                         Em            C
She's so pretty but she doesn't always act that way

G                                  Em             C
Her mood's out swinging on the swing set almost everyday

G                               Em       C
She said to me that she's so happy its depressing

G                          Em             C
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring




G                                  Em                          C
We all know the girls that I am talking about She liked you wednesday but 

                        D
now its friday and she has to wash her hair

G                                    Em
And it just figures that we'll never figure them out

              C
First she's Jekyll and then she's Hyde...

                D      
At least she makes a lovely pair

G             D
Mood ring, oh mood ring


Oh tell me will you bring

Em                     C
The key to unlock this mystery?

G 
Of girls and their emotions,

         D
play it back in slow motion

   Em                           C                                  G
So i may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind...

Mood Rings

G5               C5                      D

Getting Into You

G		   D			Em
I'm falling out of grace with the world
		  C			G
They say I've lost my midas touch
		     D			   G
What turned to gold now turns to rust
		  D			  Em
I'm falling out of line with all the stars
		   G			  C		 D
That flood my dreams with their guitars and magazines

Chorus:
Em        G           C                  D
Face down this carpet tastes like coffee grounds
              Em
Ground into my face now
G         C               D                  G    C    D    C
And every angle's covered with just another (band-aid)

G			  D		                Em
I'm falling out of style with the current way things are
		             C			             D
The things that make conforming hard
G		          D			            Em
I'm falling out of control and you just can't stop me now
		    C		            D
I'll fight as long as time allows

Em        G           C                  D
Face down this carpet tastes like coffee grounds
              Em
Ground into my face now
G         C               D                  G    C    D    C
And every angle's covered with just another (band-aid)

G		        D
I'm out here way beyond
Em		   C
A shadow of a doubt
Em		      C	        G       C	      D		   G
And i know i'm never falling out of favor with you [x2]

G		 `    Em		         D
I won't think twice or even three times
	     G	            D		          Em
About taking a gamble with you
		            G			              D
Cause with my life you have been so kind
  G		       D		        Em
I take all my comfort from you

Em        G           C                  D
Face down this carpet tastes like coffee grounds
              Em
Ground into my face now
G         C               D                  G    C    
And every angle's covered with just another (band-aid)

Falling Out

C,                                            G,
Whoa-o...Ive been banging my head against the wall
                              Am,
Whoa-o...for so long it seems I knocked it down,
        F
yeah it got knocked down

C                                              G
Whoa-o...and the heating bill went through the roof
                                             Am,
Whoa-o...and the wall I knocked down was the proof
                          F
That my landlord needed to kick me out

Pre-Chorus
        C                         G
I got evicted now Im living on the street
            Am                    F
My spirits lifted...oh wait, that wasnt me
          C                          G
Too many turns have turned out to be wrong
              Am           F
This time I learned that, I knew it all along

Am              G
When car crashes occur
                    Dm
Then Ill be what you were
Am               G
When I see what I should
                    Dm
When I see that its good (that its good)


Chorus
   C             G
To experience the bittersweet
   F
To taste defeat
Then brush my teeth
C             G
Experience the bittersweet
    F
To taste defeat
Then brush my teeth
C                    G
Cause I struggle with forward motion
Am              F
I struggle with forward motion
C                   G             Am  F
We all struggle with forward motion
            C                         G
Cause forward motion is harder than it sounds
      Am
Well everytime I gain some ground
       F
I gotta turn myself around again
C                 G
Its harder than it sounds
     Am
Well everytime I gain some ground
         F
I gotta turn myself around again

F E F E

Verse 2
C,                                            G,
Whoa-o...Ive been banging my head against the wall
                              Am,
Whoa-o...for so long it seems I got knocked out.
            F
yeah, I got knocked out cold
C,
Whoa-o...and the medical bills went through the
G
roof                                                                                     
                           Am
Whoa-o...and the scar on my head is the proof
                                  F
That Ill still remember this when I get old

Pre-Chorus
        C                         G
I got evicted now Im living on the street
            Am                    F
My spirits lifted...oh wait, that wasnt me
          C                          G
Too many turns have turned out to be wrong
              Am           F
This time I learned that, I knew it all along

Am              G
When I grasp the concept
                         Dm
Then Ill sleep where you slept
Am               G
When I know I need help
             Dm
When I allow myself (allow myself)


Chorus x2

Forward Motion

Am                         C            G
Sometimes it's embarrassing to talk to you
    Am                           C            G
To hold a conversation with the only one who sees right through
       Am
This version of myself
     C           G
I try to hide behind
      Am                                     C            G
I'll bury my face because my disgrace will leave me terrified

     Am                F         C          G
And sometimes I'm so thankful for your loyalty
      Am              F
Your love regardless of
        C                 G
The mistakes I make will spoil me
     Am            F             C                G
My confidence is, in a sense, a gift you've given me
         Am           F              C              G
And I'm satisfied to realize you're all I'll ever need


[Chorus]
     C                             F
You looked into my life and never stopped
                            Am
And you're thinking all my thoughts
              G
Are so simple, but so beautiful
     C                                F
And you recite my words right back to me
               Am
Before I even speak
               G
You let me know, I am understood


     Am          F
And sometimes I spend my time
      C           G
Just trying to escape
   Am               F                 C                  G
I work so hard so desperately, in an attempt to create space
Am              F                        C                 G
  Cause I want distance from the utmost important thing I know
   Am                  F               C              G
I see your love, then turn my back and beg for you to go


[Chorus]


*Picking chords

*Am           *F            *C       *G
  You're the only one who understands completely
*Am           *F       *C                 *G
  You're the only one knows me yet still loves completely


Am, F, C, G x2


     Am             F             C              G
And sometimes the place I'm at is at a loss for words
      Am                 F                  C            G
If I think of something worthy I know that its already yours
     *Am                    *F               *C          *G
And through the times I've faded and you've outlined me again
        Am              F          C                G
You've just patiently waited, to bring me back and then


[Chorus]


C, F, G#, F x2


C, F, G#             F           C
      The noise has broken my defense
         G
Let me embrace salvation
G#                 F          C
  Your voice has broken my defense
         G
Let me embrace salvation

F                    C
So it was jeremy in 1983,
G                    Bb
In his ocean pacific tee,

Who got a bloody knee,
F
On his skateboard,
C
In the halfpipe,

In the backyard,

That tuesday night.

Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...But Three Do 

[ Intro ]

Bb    Eb

[ Verse 1 ]

Bb 
To know her is to love her
                      Eb                             Bb
I'm goin' under cover to catch a glimpse but not get caught
Bb                                                             Eb
But to see her, could be worse, if I don't get my head straight first
                               Bb
On second thought I guess I'll not


[ Pre-chorus 1 ]

C                              Eb
She's almost brighter than the sun
                  Bb                             C                         Eb 
Seems to me to be unfair when you consider # everyone who pales when they compare
             Bb
When they compare

[ Chorus ]

Bb                                                         Eb
Can't hold a candle to her, cause all the moths get in the way
                                                      Bb
And they'll begin to chew her entire attire until it frays
                                    C               Eb             Bb
She outshines anyone whoever might dare to bask in the same candlelight


[ Verse 2 ]

Bb 
Oh please don't seat us in the back
                             Eb
With all the insects and the trash
                      Bb
She is a lady I'm the tramp
Bb             
Collecting stares from pairs close by
                         Eb
Then flutters in the butterfly
                               Bb
You, just a moth drawn to the lamp


[Pre-chorus 2 ]

 C                        Eb
She's like an ancient artifact
                               Bb
Something you're lucky to have found
                                   C
She'll pinch the nerves in all the necks
                           Eb
When she turns those heads around
             Bb
Those heads around


[ Chorus ]

Bb                                                         Eb
Can't hold a candle to her, cause all the moths get in the way
                                                      Bb
Then they'll begin to chew her entire attire until it frays
                                       C               Eb             Bb
For she outshines anyone whoever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
        C              Eb              Bb
Who may dare to bask in the same candlelight

                                                      Bb
Then they'll begin to chew her entire attire until it frays

In the same candlelight

          D
How many times

Can I push it aside
               G
Is it time I befriended all the ghosts of all the things that haunt me most
                 D
So they leave me alone

Move on with my life
                G
Be certain the steps of left and right don't fight the direction of upright


            Bm                  A
I'd rather forget and not slow down
                D                    G
Than gather regret for the things I can't change now

If I become what I can't accept

Resurrect the saint from within the wretch

Pour over me and wash my hands of it

             D
It's time to decide

Which is out of my mind
                G
Cause it'll be me unless I put some thoughts to rest and leave some faults behind
                   D
I'll watch the glint in my eye

Shine off the spring in my step

And could be blinding depending on the amount of You that I reflect


      A                      Asus4          A     Aadd9

Verse 1(Same as intro):

F                    C
I never thought I'd be
Am                     G             F
Driving through the country just to drive
            C              G                G
With only music and the clothes that I woke up in
F                    C
I never thought I'd need
Am             G                 F
All this time alone it goes to show
           C
I had so much
     G                G        F C
yet I had need for nothing but you
Am
But you

Chorus 1:
              F   C
This is just therapy
     Am               G
Lets call it what it is
       F                   C              G
With a death-grip on this life always transitioning
              F   C
This is just therapy
       Am                G
Cause you won't take my calls
                F            C                   G
and that makes God the only one who's left here listening
F
to me

Verse 2:
F                    C
Letting it all sink in
      Am             G             F
It's good to feel a sting now and again
             C                G                G
I hope it's one less woeful thing there is to fight through
F                    C
Forgetting it all began
       Am                G        F
Fresh paper and a nice expensive pen
             C               G                 G
The past cannot subtract a thing from what I might do
     F C
For you
Am
Unless that's what I let it do

Chorus 2:
              F   C
This is just therapy

Let's call it what it is not
          F
what we were
                   C        G
With a death-grip on this life always transitioning
              F   C
This is just therapy
      Am                G
Cause you wont take my calls

Interlude 2:
G Am F F
G C F F

G                Am          F
Loneliness and solitude are two things not to get confused
G                    C            F
Because I spend my solitude with you
G               Am                   F                   F
Gather all the questions of all the things I just can't get straight
       G              C                    F
and I answer them the way I'd guess you'd do

                  F   C     Am G
Cause this is my therapy
      F               C
Cause you're the only one
         G
that's listening to me
            F   C
This is my therapy
       Am              G               F 
Let's call it what it is not what we were
                  C        G
With a death-grip on this life that's in transition
            F   C
This is my therapy
       Am               G
Cause you wont hear me out 
                F            C                    G
and that makes God the only one who's left here listening

Where to begin, well I wanted to say it was you

Am
I dont like the steps I took
   C                     F  C     
To get into your deepest feelings
Am
But I dont like the place Im in
     C                                  F  C 
Head space with in the hardwood and the ceiling
             E7              Am      
Cause if Im restless why do I?
       F                      C   
I want nothing but to rest my soul
            E7                  Am
And I dont get this and I know why
        F                                   G   
You see sometimes things are just beyond control

But I dont mind

And I feel fine
                                       Am      
But I know the same does not apply to  you

Interlude
Am

Verse 2
Am                          C
Clinging to the remnants of perfection 
                        F     C  
Like most do after they break it
    Am                                     C
Not knowing which direction is the correct one
                  F    C 
Do I discard or remake it? 
           E7                        Am       
Cause if I dont know then I dont know
          F                                   C
But I may know someone who knows me more then I
               E7                 Am   
And if I could somehow rest this soul
          F                                   G    
Maybe control could find its way back into my life

Chorus 2    
            C    
And I dont mind
                                        Am
But Im not surprised to find you       do
                          F                    G
You see I know Ive done all this to  you,  to you
           C  
And I feel fine
                                       Am      
But I know the same does not apply to  you
                                        F

Curl Up And Die

Gm   
As you push it up through the soil,
        F                 C
I will shake your filthy hand.
           Gm                        F                C
You may be dead to me but that don't mean we can't be friends.
                     Gm
Now it's time to get over this,
             F               C
Long as it's clear you understand,
                  Gm             F
That I will never trust a single thing you say again.


Am                  G              F             C
Because the judge of you is someone I could never be,
       Am                   A#              F                 G
Is why you should thank the Lord that it is Him, and it's not me.

F
Don't give up, it's not the end,
        C
There's hope for every fallen man,
   F
To pick themselves up when they think they can,
              C                           G
Because with every passing second comes a second chance.


C            Gm                         F               C
You stole so much from me and there is nothing left to take,
              Gm                      F                 C
Save a  hard learned lesson on how to not make the same mistake.
                 Gm                   F                  C
And you may be delirious but that is something that will fade,
             Gm                           F                C
After you confess that this mess is all something that you made.


Am                  G              F             C
Because the judge of you is someone I could never be,
       Am                   A#              F                 G
Is why you should thank the Lord that it is Him, and it's not me.

Don't give up, it's not the end,

There's hope for every fallen man,
   F
To pick themselves up when they think they can,
              C                           G
Because with every passing second comes a second chance.

F Am  G  

       F               C
Take a good look at yourself and know,
       Am             G
You've got yourself a ways to go.
     F                  C
But difficult is not impossible,
        Am                G
You can take back all the lost control.
       F               C
Take a good look at yourself and see,
Am            G    
You'll emerge eventually.
F                            C
As long as your heart's not too far gone,
          Am                G                 F     C    G
From the only thing that can save you from yourself...

F     
Forgivness can be given when you think it can,
             C                           G 
'cause with every passing second comes a second chance.

Being inhumane

My confidence with fear
                           A
But I'll be untiringly embracing

I Remember when a photograph was worth

a thousand words, a thousand words
B                               E
now a thousand pictures come my way every day

and i like them all the same but they can't take my breath away

fighting the temptation not to look
              Abm                                F#

        Abm                               F#          
feeling trapped behind this viewfinder to share it all with you

Look On Up

Look on Up

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,

           A
from all we shared together.

I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

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.

A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

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

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
