Mexico

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]
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

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

But I love you so

Lover, you may cause me tears

Drag me through the best of years

But I love you so

Capo 4

C              Em            C
A room with a window facing west
C
Towards the sea
C               Em                C
You, with your hands across your chest
C
Facing me

Dm                    G                        Dm
Sing me a song, your voice is like silver and
Dm                     G               C      Em     C
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
Dm                       G               C        Em     C
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.

Facing West

[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

Dead & Born & Grown

Am                   G                  C

Torn apart and tired of it all, of it all.

Em            G                C
Shaking out the sheets and holding on, holding on.
Em            G               C
Following my feet until it's gone, 'til it's gone
              Am     
It's dead and gone,

Never the same.

But I never did wrong.

Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy

I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
