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

A candle throws its light into the darkness
Bm                Am                G     Gsus4
In a nasty world so shines a good deed
G                      Am
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Bm       Am               G     Gsus2

What you say and do not mean

Follows you close behind

Any change comes as a relief

Waiting For You

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

Never Leave Lonely Alone

Verse

Em           G         Am    C
Make me feel like a beggar
Em           G          Am 
Make me feel like a thi-ief
Em           G      Am       C  
Make me feel like a battle,
     Em     G      A      C
that cannot end in peace
Em      G         Am      C   
Make me feel like running, 
   Em      G       Am     C 
as if I've lost my nerve 
Em      G         Am      C
Make me feel like crying, 
Em      G        Am     
tears I don't deserve 
 
refrain:
--------
C      Em
Please bleed 
     C                 Em
So I know that you are real
     C                 Em 
So I know that you can feel 
    C                  D      Dsus4  D
The damage that you've done
Am           C     
Who have I become
   Am          C     Am   C     Am   C      D 
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am nu-u-u-umb

	

Is this really living ? 

Sometimes it's hard to tell

Or is this a kind of gentle hell ?

Turn out the lights

And let me stare into your soul

I was born and bled for you to hold


[Chorus]

Never said thank you

Never said please

Never gave reason to believe

So as it stands

I remain on my knees

Good lovers make great enemies

[Chorus]

Please Bleed

Burn To Shine

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

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.

I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough

      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

F         C              Am        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
