Mexico

[verse 1]
F                      C
Take it back or let me go
Dm               A#
It's better if I tell you so
F         C       Dm                   A#
I hurt you once before and I'd do it again

F                      C
Everyone I know is gone
Dm               A#
And I don't even know myself
F         C       Dm                   A#
I'm saving up

F                      C
To take a trip to Mexico
Dm               A#
I heard it's the place to go
F         C       Dm                   A#
I want to see the colours of another sky


[chorus]


D#             A#                    F
Carry me home on your shoulders
D#             A#            F
Lower me on to my bed
D#             A#                     F          C  Dm  C A#
Show me the night that I dreamed about before


[verse 2]


F                      C
Lover, you may cause me tears
Dm                          A#
Drag me through the best of years
F         C       Dm     A#
You never know 
F                 C
any other songs I wrote
Dm                 A#
Older than a year or two 
    F         C       Dm     A#
But I love you so


[chorus]


D#             A#                    F
Carry me home on your shoulders
D#             A#            F
Lower me on to my bed
D#             A#                     F          C  Dm  C A#
Show me the night that I dreamed about before


[bridge]


Some "oo's" with F C Dm A#


[chorus]


D#             A#                    F
Carry me home on your shoulders
D#             A#            F
Lower me on to my bed
D#             A#                     F          C  Dm  C A#
Show me the night that I dreamed about before


[verse 3]


F                      C
Lover, you may cause me tears
Dm                          A#
Drag me through the best of years
 F         C       Dm     A#
But I love you so

A              E7sus4
I am a cardinal red
  E7                  A                        E7/B
I am of blood and of bones and of heart and of head
   A                       E7sus4
A thousand miles ahead and behind
E7             A                   E7/B
Oh to be lost, oh to be wasting my time

      A             E7sus4
On a hill we lay in the sun
        E7                 A                        E7/B
In the foot of a statue of all battles lost, battles won
     A                E7sus4
I remember you're voice and you're clothes
  E7                      A                E7/B
A well chosen passage of words from a book I don't know

   A                          E7sus4
Oh me, oh my, oh man what have I become
 E7                     A                     E7/B   A          
Running around writing letters I'll never send home

A
Call me in the morning I'll be alright

Call me in the morning I'll be alright
                                 E7/B
Call me little honey and I'll be fine
A
Call me in the morning I'll be okay

Call me in the morning I'm far away
                                   E7/B  C#m
Call me little darling and I'll be fine

   A
An eagle flew above us
Blankets wrapped around us
Lucky that she found us
Rooted to the ground        2x

No one will believe us
Mountains as our witness
Blankets wrapped around us
The eagle flew above

A  C#m  D
By the lake
              A
So high, so high

A
Call me in the morning I'll be alright

Call me in the morning I'll be alright
                                 E7/B
Call me little honey and I'll be fine
A
Call me in the morning I'll be okay

Call me in the morning I'm far away
                                   E7/B   C#m  A
Call me little darling and I'll be fine

Eagle Song

[Verse 1]

G           C                 G    C G
Lying, a dreamer, dreaming beside me
      C                   G   C G
The city sirens keep me awake
     D
And I know
                           C G C   G C G
I’ll see you again in the long run


[Verse 2]

(Chords follow this pattern for the rest of the song)

People they tell me I should be careful
That you’ll worry, and I’m already miles away

But I know
I’ll see you again in the long run
And I know
I’ll meet you again in the long run


[Chorus]

    Em             D
But we can’t be lovers
        G
‘Cause I’m still afraid
      Em         D
Of leaving the things I love dearly.

I wander, I roam, I write home to tell you
That I’m sorry,
I won’t leave it this late again.

But I know
I’ll see you again in the long run
And I know
I’ll meet you again in the long run

But I can’t be married
You’ll take me away
From everything that I love dearly
And we can’t be lovers


[Outro]

                              C
You’ll take me away from my home
    F
My home
    D
My home

But I know
I’ll see you again in the long run

In The Long Run

Capo 4

C              Em            C
A room with a window facing west

Towards the sea

You, with your hands across your chest

I don't think that I can do this anymore

C             Em                C
I'll take the high road that he walked
C
Once before
C           Em            C
You sit and watch me as I come
C
Through the door

Dm                   G                        Dm
Sing me a song, your voice is like silver and

I don't think that I can do this anymore

Dm                   G                        Dm
Sing me a song, your voice is like silver and
Dm                       G              Dm
I don't think that I can do this anymore
Dm               G                            Dm
Show me the path down to the shoreline 'cause
Dm                    G               C      Em      C
I don't know if I can do this anymore

C             Em            C
A room with a window facing west.

Make It Holy

If I Was 

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,

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,

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

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

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.

                   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.
