There's a lightning storm each and every night
               Em             Bm              C
Crashing inside you like motorbikes
       Em                  D          C
We toss and turn, sleep so loud
                 Em
Grind the teeth in our
Bm                 C                                  Em
Our empty mouths (are empty...)

There's a forest fire burning bright
                 Em                      Bm          C
Spreading quickly towards our last rites
       Em                D                C
Nowhere to run, pointless to hide
              Em                         Bm                   C
Just lay there and scream, pretending to try

Pretending...

Everyone learns faster on fire
D                          C             Em
Things took a turn, lost all desire

And it's haunting you each and every night
        Em                    D                  C
Like starving wolves    drowning sheep
       Em                  Bm                     C   
We close our eyes, pretending to sleep

Descending...

Things took a turn, lost all desire
        D                   C              D
You live and you burn
        C                
You live and...

Like hell burning silently strong
         Em7            G                 Cadd9  D

And somehow this hell is home

Chorus:

Burn

intro-G,Em,C,G,Em,C,G

G
I am waiting 'til there's nothing left 
I'm a prayer, all you see is breath
    Em            C                    G 
I am empty, I am skin and bones, I'm a ribcage 
Well, I'm out the door with apathy 
And I'm coming home with sympathy 
     Em            C                  G
I am realize, I am shame, I choose to stay here 
Em                 C
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom 
G               D
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come 
Em                    C  
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm 
   D
My arm 

Pre verse-G,Em,C,G,Em,C,G

G
There's a song I love so much I stole 
Every precious note I took, I sold 
      Em                      C                    G
Now I spit out words.  Do you see my lungs on the dancefloor?
G
To a hopeless cause, I sold my soul      
                                         Em
A romantic plastic piece of shit you can mold 
        C                   G
Until I break into chokable pieces 
Em                 C  
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom
G               D 
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come
Em                    C
Had a nice grip on my life 'til you twisted my arm
D 
My arm

Solo-G,Em,C,G,Em,C 

Em                     C
And I open up like the back of a book 
G                      D
I ruin everything with just a quick look
Em                   C
I settle down like a rocket explodes
G                       D 
Hit the ground, but how far out who knows
Em                 C
You got a sign, so I pay a ransom
G                   D 
You felt sorry, so I felt a wrath come
Em                    C                          D
Had a nice grip on my life untill you twisted my arm 
       
my arm

            A
It's been a long day living with this
            F#m               D
It's been a long time since I felt so sick
         A
I took a long walk straight back home
           F#m                D
I could've walked back to San Francisco
          A
I used to long for time alone
          F#m              D
I used to long for a place of my own
       A
And I'm losing faith in everything

I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost at sea, you see


A   F#m   D   x2


          A
I used to long for broken bones
          F#m                  D
I used to long for a casket to call my own
       A
I never had a problem facing fear

But I'm done, over and done, my dear, and

Oh mercy me

God bless catastrophe
        F#m       D
There's no way in hell
      A            E
We'll ever live to see through this so
F#m       E      D
Drive yourself insane tonight
     F#m      E     D
It's not that far away and
       F#m       E         D         A
I just filled up your tank earlier today


E   A   D

[This quick progression is there on the album, but I'd skip it in an open-chord acoustic 
and just hold the D a bit longer or something.]

Intro: G Am Em (x2)

Verse:
G                            Am                   Em
You're on your own my little nightmare you cannot stay here
Em
It's far too bright for you
G                       Am              Em
If they attack you just lay there, play dead dear
Em
It's your only hope of pulling through
G               Am                      Em   
The seconds may seem like a lifetime, a dream recurring
Em
A dream that can't come true
G        Am            Em                            C  
And they pin it all on you after all you've been put through

Chorus:
Em              C                  G                   D
"Sadie G. she's crazy see?" That's what the whitecoats say
       Em               C            G        D 
Now Ms Susan A., you're losing every opportunity to put us all away

G Am Em (x2)

Verse 2:
Now run along my little nightmare your job is done here
You scared 'em all to death
If they revive them just sit there
Just smile dear make them grateful for every breath
The sentence may seem like a lifetime of scream 
That's curdling the blood they found on you
And your knives & clothing too
Charlie's broken .22

Chorus

and then...
          Em                 C                  G              D
Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way
        Em                   C                    G                D
But you bound and gagged you shot and stabbed you tried to set 'em free

But they've thrown away the key

G Em C D (x4)

G   Em     C     D

It's about time that I came clean with you
               E Esus         C#m           A
I'm no longer fine, I'm no longer running smooth
               E Esus          C#m            A
I thought that I found myself under something new

No longer fun, and so far from interesting
                E Esus       C#m             A
I thought that I found me a cure for feeling old
                E Esus   C#m               B
Just one more line to keep me sleeping loudly and cold
      A              E         B
In disgraced with a shameful regret
      A            E                 B
As I talk in tongues to myself in my bed
           A              E            B              G# --- A

E                      Ex           B            A
And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
E                      Ex           B            A
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time

Somehow we lost our heads for the last time

And you can't breathe without coughing at daytime

Dm                    G
This house is full of ears

Dm                    E7                    
But I can't talk to anyone

   C                                G
They've heard this one a thousand times

 Dm                   G
Most exciting thing I do

 Dm                               E7
Hang half way out a third floor window

  C                         G
Maybe throw lit cigarettes down

 C                    Am
And maybe I'll catch fire

    C              G
Something warm to hold me

   Am              F               G                
Something pure to burn away the darkness 

       C      G       Am  
That hides inside my mind

 C              G                 E7
All that evil shit's not hard to find

   Am      F     G          Am
I guess I only claim to be nice

Maybe I'll Catch Fire

Verse 1:
            Em
Here it is again yet it 
 C              G
stings like the first time

Seems it never ends double 
   C       G
nickels on your dime
  D               Em
I thought we were friends
        C
I guess it just 
  G

It's Only just begun it's been 
    C       G

There's a party in my 
   C           G        D   
closet calling all skeletons oh

              Em

Bridge:
C                     D
  And to tell you the truth
                   Em
I lost my faith in you
you gotta stop speaking
Bm       C

Calling All Skeletons

G                      B             C
Take a look, you see I painted you a picture
G                                B                C
It's black and white, except the blood's a little richer
E                          B          C
Down in the corner where I gave it my signature
E                  C                  D
Then I titled it, "This one's for the winter"
G                         C          D
Check it out you see it's just a big disaster


G                       B              C                  G
I'll dedicate it to the fact that it's so hard for you to dream
                     B              C               E
A million heartbeats all around you make it hard to sleep
                                   B              C                E
It doesn't help you're freezing in your bed, your blankets aren't enough
                        C                  D             G
All you want is someone there, and all you say is, "So what"


                C       D         G
Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah
                 C       D               E
You're making me sick, I wish you'd just stop showing off
        C               D                E
For the rest of us that no one wants to love
                           C             D            G
It's hard enough trying to drink another winter all alone
                C       D         G      C      D
Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah

          G
Well do you find you like to fall in love with people that you're never gonna meet?
                 B               C             E
It's easier than breaking up and crying in the street
                        B               C               E
Do you curse the happy couple? Do you cringe at wedding bells?
                        C               D               G
Do you drink up all the punch while you wish 'em all to hell?

Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah

E         G                 D           C        E
You can't escape this fatal case of melancholia
        G                   D                                  E
It's in your face, in every place you go... it's stalking you
          G                D            C                D
There are days when we all say we feel we just can't go on
           C         D
But you've felt this way all along


Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah

Don't leave me alone,
                 C
I'm waiting for this to be,
     G                D
The last thing that I say.
          G      
Well if I try being good,
        C                    G
Then I probably could get a couple more days.
         D
But the drugs are lame,
        G
So I'm looking for you to be,
      C
The very last thing I see,
  G                  D    
Before I up and fly away.
      G                     C
I'm counting on you to help push me through
                 G                     D
With something good to remember on my red letter days


      C
Don't worry,
   G             D
I only feel the good things.
          G                   C
So let's dine, dine, dine my darling
           D
Let's have our last supper, a toast to lovers

Yeah I tried alot of things because of you,
     C
You make me tell the truth,

You taught me to dream like a man.
    G                     C
You rescued my tail from between my legs, 
       G                D
Now if I can kick it I am.

And I'm taking these words with me when I go over to the other side.
        G                         C
I'll be waiting on you but don't show up too soon
         G                       D
I'll be bored as heaven but I'll be alright.

Dine, Dine My Darling

Verse 1: 
C
Well I found you outside like a sunrise,
       G
That melted my eyes from my skull.
                  E5
As I turned into ash before for my sweet demise,
      F               G
The end of me was so beautiful.
                   C                      G
Well now you're stuck in my head like a love song,

That climbed to the top of the charts.
          E5
How the fuck can something be so right and so wrong?
         F                             G
All the wrong words but all the right parts.


Chorus: (Staccato)
            A5              F5           C5     G5
And you can sit there and tell me that I didn't try,
            A5       F5           C5     G5
And I can honestly tell you that I never lied.
        A5              F5           C5             G5   F
I can't stand this dark feeling, the shark eating me up inside.
G           F     G
Eating me alive
F           G     F    
Eating me alive

Verse 2:
C
Well I found you out there in the moonlight,
           G
In your eyes there were diamonds like stars.
         E5
I was bound by your father, the jewel thief,
                   F                         G
That night as you said he was still behind bars.
C
Now you're stuck in my head like a love song,
       G
The words I can never forget.
      E5                               
As I sucked on your neck for way too long,
                               F           G
And drained you of every last drop you had left.


Chorus: (Staccato)
            A5              F5           C5     G5
And you can sit there and tell me that I didn't try,
            A5       F5           C5     G5
And I can honestly tell you that I never lied.
        A5              F5           C5             G5   F
I can't stand this dark feeling, the shark eating me up inside.
G            F    G
Eating me alive
F            G    F    
Eating me alive


Bridge: 
F               G      C      G
Here lies a homicidal story, sad but true.
C                                   F      G
The time has come and gone but I'd do anything for you.


Chorus: (Faster, Smoother Rhythm)
            A5              F5           C5     G5
And you can sit there and tell me that I didn't try,

And I can honestly tell you that I never lied.

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.

Chorus

Lazy Line Painter Jane

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,

que diabolica actitud
Bm             D
su puño cerrado
       E                             F#
avanzo y me reventó la nariz
