The Cure are a new wave/post-punk band which formed in 1976 in Crawley, England, United Kingdom. The band originally consisted of Robert Smith (vocals, guitar), Porl Thompson (guitar), Michael Dempsey (bass) and Lol Tolhurst (drums), with the band's lineup overgoing several changes throughout the years and Smith remaining as the only constant member throughout the band's history. The band has released 13 studio albums and have sold 27 million albums worldwide and are considered a major influence on goth rock, alternative rock and new wave music. 

The Cure est un groupe de rock et de new wave britannique, formé en 1976 à Crawley (West Sussex), qui a marqué les années 1980 et 1990. La formation actuelle est composée de la figure historique du groupe : le leader Robert Smith (auteur, compositeur et chanteur) et de Simon gallup à la basse,  Jason Cooper à la batterie et Roger O'Donnell (revenu dans le groupe en 2011) aux claviers.   Porl Thompson (guitare) revenu en 2005 n'est plus réapparu dans le groupe depuis 2010. Perry Bamonte (guitare) et Roger O'Donnell (claviers) avaient quitté le groupe en mai 2005. 

La formación original de la banda, entonces Easy Cure, nació en un colegio de Crawley, una ciudad construida sobre los escombros que dejó la guerra en un pequeño pueblo en el corazón de la campiña del sur de Inglaterra. Aunque Easy Cure había surgido como una banda de punk, para cuando simplificaron su nombre a The Cure, la creciente fascinación de Robert Smith por los temas oscuros y opresivos, ya se había unido a su habilidad para canalizar esas ideas en canciones apasionadamente evocadoras...

The Same Deep Water As You

Disintegration

        D
"So we meet again!" and I offer my hand 
     G               A
All dry and English slow.
         D
And you look at me, and I understand,
              G              A
Yeah, it's a look I used to know.
  D
"Three long years... and your favourite man... 
       G              A
Is that any way to say hello?",
          D      G              A             D   G   A
And you hold me... like you'll never let me go.


D   G   A


        D
"Oh c'mon and have a drink with me,
     G               A
Sit down and talk a while..."
       D
"Oh I wish I could... and I will! 
           G                   A
But now I just don't have the time..."
     D
And over my shoulder as I walk away,
   G                  A            D
I see you give that look goodbye...
                            G      A
I still see that look in your eye... 


    Em                        A
So dizzy Mr. Busy - Too much rush to talk to Billy,
         Em                            A
All the silly frilly things have to first get done.
      Em                             A
In a minute - sometime soon - maybe next time - make it June,
       Em              A           D   G   A
Until later... doesn't always come.


        D    G         A           D   G   A
Until later... doesn't always come.


D   G   A


         D
It's so hard to think "It ends sometime,
     G                  A
And this could be the last".
          D
I should really hear you sing again,
              G                A
And I should really watch you dance,
              D
Because it's hard to think
                  G            A
"I'll never get another chance
      D              G      A
To hold you... to hold you... " 


     Em                          A
But chilly Mr. Dilly - Too much rush to talk to Billy,
         Em                       A
All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done.
     Em                              A
In a second - just hang on - all in good time - won't be long,
       Em    A
Until later... 


    G                   A                   G            A
I should've stopped to think - I should've made the time.
    G                 A                  G            A
I could've had that drink - I could've talked a while.
    G                A                 G          A
I would've done it right - I would've moved us on,
       G                 A           G
But I didn't - now it's all too late,
      A                D        G   A
It's over... And you're gone...


D   G   A


   D
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you,
   G                     A      D   G   A
I miss you, I miss you so much...


     D                                  
But how many times can I walk away
     G        A
And wish "If only..."
 D
How many times can I talk this way
     G        A
And wish "If only..." 
 D
Keep on making the same mistake,
 G                  A
Keep on aching the same heartbreak,
       D
And I wish "If only..."
         G     A
But "If only...." 
               Em
Is a wish too late...

    C#m
On candystripe legs spiderman comes,
 A
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun.
  C#m
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead,
 A
Looking for the victim shivering in bed.
 C#m
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom,
     A
And suddenly! A movement in the corner of the room!
              C#m
And there is nothing I can do when I realise with fright
           A
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!

 C#m
Quietly he laughs, and shaking his head
         A
Creeps closer now, closer to the foot of the bed,
     C#m
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies,
     A
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes...
     C#m
"Be still, be calm, be quiet now, my precious boy,
         A
Don't struggle like that, or I will only love you more,
         C#m
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light;
      A
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight!"


      F#m
And I feel like I'm being eaten
                                     A
By a thousand million shivering furry holes,
      F#m
And I know that in the morning
                                  A
I will wake up in the shivering cold...
                                 C#m
And the spiderman is always hungry...

Love Song

Em                D
We move like cagey tigers
   C                         D
We couldn't get closer than this
   Em
The way we walk
   D
The way we talk
   C
The way we stalk
   D
The way we kiss

     Em
We slip through the streets
      D
While everyone sleeps
       C
Getting bigger and sleeker
    D
And wider and brighter
       Em                    D
Oh, We bite and scratch and scream all night
      C
Let's go and
              D
Throw all the songs we know


 G
Into the sea

You and me
          Am
All these years and no one heard
     G
I'll show you in spring

It's a treacherous thing
   Am
We missed you hissed the lovecats


Em           D          C              D
Ba da da da da da da, ba daaa da da da da..   ( And so on)


Verse 2 is the same as the first.

Lovecats

Dm			   Bb	G
You're so gorgeous I'll do anything
I'll kiss you from your feet to where your head begins
You're so perfect, you're so right as rain
You make me make me hungry again

  F 			E
Everything you do is irresistible
  F				E
Everything you do is simply kissable
 Dm	Bb-G
Why can't I be you?

I'll run around in circles 'til I run out of breath
I'll eat you all up or I'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful too good to be true
You make me make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you?

You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked I'm stuck like glue
You make me make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?

You're simply elegant!!!

Why Can't I Be You

C                 Am            F          G   
The sun is up. I'm so happy I could scream!
            C                   Am               F        G
And there's nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
     C
Than here with you
     Am
It's perfect
     F            G
It's all I ever wanted
  C              Am                  F         G
I almost can't believe that it's for real


I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile And a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
Birds sing we swing
Clouds drift by and 
Everything is like a dream
It's everything I wished

Am               G
Never guessed it got this good
C               F
Wondered if it ever would
Am             G
Really didn't think it could
F              G
Do it again? I know we should!


The sun is up. I'm so fizzy I could burst!
You wet through and me headfirst
Into this 
is perfect
It's all I ever wanted
Ow! it feels so big it almost hurts!


Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it some more? I know we should!


Say it will always be like this
The two of us together
It will always be like this
Forever and ever and ever.


Am                G
Never guessed it got this good
C               F
Wondered if it ever would
Am             G
Really didn't think it could
F                     G             F
Do it all the time? I know that we should!

Apart

Intro: E-D-E-D-E-D  (pause) Em D G Am
        
Em            D          G        Am
every time we do this, I fall for her
Em                    D    G            Am
wave after wave after wave it's all for her
Em                   D                   
i know this can't be wrong i say 
          G
(and i'll lie to keep her happy)
   Am                                       
as long as i know that you 
Em                D
know that today i belong
                G     Am
right here with you,  right here with you...

Em  D   G   Am

       Em
and so we watch the sun come up from 
    D                      G   Am
the edge of the deep green sea
        Em                         D
and she listens like her head's on fire
                             G   Am
like she wants to believe in me
     Em               D            G   Am
so i try     put your hands in the sky
Em         D
surrender, remember
      G               Am
we'll be here forever and 
                Em
we'll never say goodbye...

D   G    Am    Em    D    G    Am

     Em       D
i've never    been so colorfully
G                       Am
see-through-head before
           Em               D              
i've never been (i've never been) so wonderfully
G                   Am
me-you-want-some-more
Em        D                       G
and all i want is to keep it like this
Am                         Em
you and me alone, a secret kiss
             D              G
and don't go home, don't go away
               Am          Em     D   G   
don't let this end, please stay
Am                Em
     not just for today

D   G   Am   Em   D   G   Am

Em                D
never never never never 
       G           Am
let me go she says
Em
hold me like this for a 
D                G       Am
hundred thousand million days
                 Em
but suddenly she slows
                     D
and looks down at my breaking face
G               Am
why do you cry? what did i say?
         Em          D
but it's just rain i smile
G                 Am
brushing my tears away...


Bm                  C
i wish i could just stop
               D                   
i know another moment 
              Em
will break my heart
         Bm              C
too many tears, too many times
         D                     Em
too many years i've cried over you
(NC)
over you, over you?

E  D  E  D  E  D

E                    D
how much more can we use it up?
E             D
drink it dry? take this drug?
E                     D
looking for something forever gone
E                     D
but something we will always want?

(pause)

Em   D   G   Am 
   
Em      D                      G        Am
why why why are you letting me go? she says
  Em               D                G            Am
i feel you pulling back, i feel you changing shape...
    Em                   D
and just as i'm breaking free
    G                Am
she hangs herself in front of me
Em                     D
slips her dress like a flag to the floor
    G                Am
and hands in the sky surrenders it all...


Bm                  C
i wish i could just stop
               D                   
i know another moment 
              Em
will break my heart
         Bm              C
too many tears, too many times
         D                    Em
too many years i've cried over you
     Bm         C                             
it's always the same,
               D
wake up in the rain
        Em            Bm
head in pain, hung in shame
            C                         
a different name, 
         D
same old game,
        Em
love in vain
 (NC)                       
and miles and miles 
                              Em (strum once) 
and miles away from home again...

From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea

A                               E
oh elise it doesn't matter what you say
                             Bm
I just can't stay here every yesterday
                    D
like keep on acting out the same the way we act out
A
every way to smile forget
    E
and make-believe we never needed
Bm                 D
any more than this any more than this

# A E Bm D A E Bm D

    A                               E
oh elise it doesn't matter what you do
                         Bm
I know i'll never really get inside of you
             D
to make your eyes catch fire the way they should
A
the way the blue could pull me in
        E
if they only would if they only would
   Bm                                        D
at least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else
                A
that hides away from me and you there're worlds to part
     E
with aching looks and breaking hearts
    Bm
and all the prayers your hands can make
   D
oh I just take as much as you can throw
A
and then I throw it all away
E
oh I throw it all away
Bm
like throwing faces at the sky
     D
like throwing arms around
E
yesterday I stood and stared
     F#m
wide-eyed in front of you
    E
and the face I saw looked back
          F#m
the way I wanted to
      E
but I just can't hold my tears away
    F#m
the way you do

  G                   F#m
elise believe I never wanted this
  G                                     F#m
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
  G                                F#m
I thought you were the girl always dreamed about
      Bm
but I let the dream go
        D
and the promises broke
                         A
and the make-believe ran out...

# A E Bm D A E Bm D

    A                               E
so elise it doesn't matter what you say
                             Bm
I just can't stay here every yesterday
                    D
like keep on acting out the same the way we act out
A
every way to smile forget
    E
and make-believe we never needed
Bm                 D
any more than this any more than this
    A                           E
and every time I try to pick it up like falling sand
Bm
as fast as I pick it up
         D
it runs away through my clutching hands
            A
and there's nothing else I can really do
E
there's nothing else I can really do
Bm
there's nothing else I can really do
   D
at all...

A Letter To Elise

F#m             E
  (I)   It's a perfect day for letting go
            D                         E
        For setting fire to bridges, boats,
                    F#m             E
        And other dreary worlds you know
            D        A
        Let's get happy!


 (I)    It's a perfect day for making out
        To wake up with a smile without a doubt
        To burst grin giggle bliss skip jump and sing and shout
        Let's get happy!

                  G                       F#m
 (II)   But it's much to late you say for doing this now
           Bm                                 D
        We should have done it then, well it just goes to show
                Bm                        C#m
        How wrong you can be and how you really should know
                    D                           (F#m-E-D-E...)
        That it's never too late to get up and go

  (I)   It's a perfect day for kiss and swell
        For rip-zipping button-popping kiss and well...
        There's loads of other stuff can make you yell
        Let's get happy!

  (I)   It's a perfect day for doing the unstuck
        For dancing like you can't hear the beat
        And you don't give a further thought
        To things like feet. Let's get happy!

 (II)   But it's much too late you say...

C fa#m-LA-sim-RE
        F#m                  A
 (III)  Kick out the gloom, kick out the blues
        Bm                      D
        Tear out the pages with all the bad news
        F#m                         A
        Pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls
        Bm                      D
        Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors

 (III)  Oh just burn down the house! Burn down the street!
        Turn everything red and the beat is complete
        With the sound of your world going up in fire
        It's a perfect day to throw back your head
            F#m            E    D-E...
        And kiss it all goodbye

 (I)    It's a perfect day for getting old
        Forgetting all your worries, life,
        And everything that makes you cry
        Let's get happy!

 (I)    It's a perfect day for dreams come true
        For thinking big
        And doing anything you want to do
        Let's get happy!

 (II)   But it's much too late you say...

 (III)  Kick out the gloom...
            F#m
        And kiss it all goodbye...

   Am           F       C           Dm                    G
Remember how we used to feel, those days  would never end

Those days would never end


Am              F        C            Am          F          C

Am              F        C            Dm                  G
Remember how we used to dream, those nights would never end

Those nights would never end

           F                    G
It was the sweetness of your skin
                       Am               C
it was the hope of all we might have been
                        F              
that filled me with the hope to wish
G                          Am
impossible things
F           G            Am
 To wish impossible things
F               G       Am
To wish impossible things


    Am       F          C        Am      F        C 
But now the sun shines cold and all the sky is grey
    Am        F         C
The stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
    Dm            G              Dm                 G
And all I wish is gone away and all i wish is gone away
   Dm                G
all I wish is gone away

To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Am               F 
Throwing out your frown and just smiling at the sound
C                 G 
And as sleek as a shriek spinning round and round
Am               F
Always take a big bite, it's such a gorgeous sight

To see you eat in the middle of the night
Am               F
You can never get enough, enough of this stuff

"Show me how you do that trick
    Em                  G
The one that makes me scream" she said
     D                 A
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
    Em               G
And threw her arms around my neck
 D               A
"Show me how you do it
      Em          G
And I promise you I promise that
           D                D
I'll run away with you

I'll run away with you"

INTRO (2x)

D                A
Spinning on that dizzy edge
  Em                  G
I kissed her face and kissed her head
    D                   A               Em
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
            G
To make her glow
D               A               Em
"Why are you so far away?" she said
               G                     D            A
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
            Em             A
That I'm in love with you"

Em
You
C
Soft and only
Em
You
C
Lost and lonely
Em
You
C
Strange as angels
G?
Dancing in the deepest oceans
G?
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

INTRO (2x)

D                  A
Daylight licked me into shape
    Em             G
I must have been asleep for days
    D              A
And moving lips to breathe her name
  Em            G
I opened up my eyes
    D             A
And found myself alone alone
 Em             G
Alone above a raging sea
     D              A
That stole the only girl I loved
    Em                 G
And drowned her deep inside of me

Em
You

Soft and only
Em

Bm                       A
Yes I know who you remind me of
Bm                       A
A girl I think I used to know
Bm                                A
Yes I'd see her when the day got colder
Bm                                A
On those days when it felt like snow

D                                  A
You know I even think that she stared like you
D                                  A
She used to just stand there and stare
D                               A
And roll her eyes right up to heaven
D                               A
And make like I just wasn't there

G                     E
And she used to fall down a lot
G                           
That girl was always falling
E
Again and again
D                               A
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
Bm                             A
But I never even caught her name

D-A-Bm-A
D-A-Bm-A

Bm                               A
And sometimes we would spend the night
Bm                          A
Just rolling about on a floor
Bm
And I remember
                      A
Even though it felt soft at the time
Bm                        A
I always used to wake up sore

D                              A
You know I even think that she smiled like you
D                                A
She used to just stand there and smile
D                                 A
And her eyes would go all sort of far away
D                                 A
And stay like that for quite a while

G                                 E
And I remember she used to fall down a lot
G                               E
That girl was always falling
Again and again

D                                A
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
Bm                          A
But I never even caught her name
D                             A
Yes I sometimes even tried to catch her
Bm                          A
But I never even caught her name

D            A
Nothing I do makes much sense
    Em               G              Bm
Say you don't really get me anymore
         Em              C         Em          G
I wonder if you ever did... if you ever did at all?

D              A
Nothing I want means a lot
    Em                G                 Bm
Say you don't understand me like before
             Em              C         Em          G
I'm not sure if you ever did... if you ever did at all?

D               A
Nothing I think has a point
    Em                   G              Bm
Say you don't quite believe me anymore
         Em               C         Em         G
I wonder if you ever did... if you ever did at all?

A                  G
Gets hard to guess the best way through
A                  Bm              Em
The thing to do if none of this is true
         C           Em
I wish I knew how to undo
            G
The doubt I hide inside
  A
I grew in you..
 (n/c)
The knot I hide inside I tied in you...

D  A  Em  G  Em  C  Em  G (chords w/ solo)

D            A
Nothing I am shows the way
    Em                Em                  Bm
Say you don't seem to know me like before
             Em              C         Em          G
I'm not sure if you ever did... if you ever did at all?

    D            A
No, Nothing I do makes much sense
    Em               G              Bm
Say you don't really get me anymore
         Em              C         Em          G
I wonder if you ever did... if you ever did at all?

A                  Bm              Em
The thing to do if none of this is true
         C           Em
I wish I knew how to undo
           A
The knot I tied in you...
                  G
When more or less the yes and no
A                  Bm           Em
Is all for show it isn't really so...
              C                Em
Look high and low where did we go?
              G             A                D6
You moved too fast or maybe I just moved too slow?

(pause) 

D6              Em
There's so much noise...
        G               A
All the signal seems to fade away
Em       C
Too much noise...
         Em                G
Or could be this is how it always sounds
A                  D6
With nothing left?

It's funny how your face gets bigger
     Bm                   G
gets bigger in this atmosphere
         Bm
and your mouth goes dry
      G
with every move you try

it's so funny here!

Bm              G
Fifteen times I try this
    Bm            G
and every time I faint
    Bm
you look at me and
                  G
start to tell the joke
                           Bm
about the man who couldn't stop
             G
hiccupping...

 Ab             F#
It would be so perfect
             Ab                F#
If you would just fall out the window!
Bm               G
Throw your foot away!
        Bm                    G
You're tired and your face is grey
 Bm               G
Like the sad old fool

You groove...

Disintegration 

Am
It started with a dedication
  C                         F                              
"lost in admiration  happy birthday  
                    G
i'm forever yours   blossom"
                    Am
Faded red inside a tiny book of butterflies
  C                                       F
I smiled surprised at how when flickered through
                              G
The wings flew by spelled out my name
  Dm
Six months went by the summer lost
 C                               G
Obsessively the letters dropped into my life
                            Am
The same soft blood smooth flowing hand
                    Dm                                   
"please try to understand  i have to see you 
        C
have to feel you 
                        G                          
Tell you all the ways i need you  
                 Am
yours forever in love"


F
Strange attraction spreads its wings
   C
It varies but the smallest things
     Dm                            Em
You never know how anything will change
 F
Strange attraction spreads its wings
    C
And alters but the smallest things
     Dm                           G
You never know how anything will fade


     Am                            C
The year grew old incessantly she wrote to me
                       F
She'd started smoking poetry!
                   G
I laughed in recognition of a favorite phrase
       Am
She'd pulled me in...

I answered her
   C
A christmas card in sepia
 F
Arranging when and where
             G
And how the two of us should meet...
     Dm
Her opening so well prepared
   C
A nervous smile
                    G
I couldn't take my eyes from her

She whispered
       Am
"can i use some of your lipstick?"
        Dm
It was perfect so believable
   C                                  G
I couldn't help but feel that it was real
                          Am
And kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms


F
Strange attraction spreads its wings

It varies but the smallest things

You never know how anything will change

Strange attraction spreads its wings

And alters but the smallest things

    Am                           
So alone into the cold new year 
C
without another word from her
  F                              
I wrote to ask if we could 
      G
maybe meet again before the spring
    Am                          
But weeks went by with no reply 
C
untill once more my birthday came
    F                                 
And with it my surprise but this 
     G
time nothing was the same...
     Dm                          
"i'm sorry   blame infatuation   
C
blame imagination
      G                                Am
I was sure you'd be the one but i was wrong 
                   Dm                                     
It seems reality destroys our dreams  
                   C
i won't forget you blossom"
                   G                    Am
Faded red inside a tiny book of old goodbyes...

F
Strange attraction spreads its wings
    C
It varies but the smallest things
    Dm                            Em
You never know how anything will change
F
Strange attraction spreads its wings

And alters but the smallest things

You never know, you never know

and you never know...

when I am gone from here"

Remember me and smile...

Than to remember me and cry..."

# Verse I:
Am                     D
You want to know why I hate you?
          C              D
Well I~ll try and explain...
     Am                  D
You remember that day in Paris
        C                    D
When we wandered through the rain
    Am               D
And promised to each other
          C                D
That we~d always think the same
    Am                    D               C
And dreamed that dream to be two souls as one
    Am                  D
And stopped just as the sun set
    C              D
And waited for the night
   Am                D
Outside a glittering building
   C                    D
Of glittering glass and burning light...

# Verse II:

# Chorus:
    Bm                 A
The father~s eyes said beautiful
    Bm            A
How beautiful you are
    Bm                  A
The boy~s eyes said how beautiful
    Bm
She shimmers like a star
    Am                   Em
The child~s eyes uttered nothing
    F
But mute and utter joy
    Am                   Em
And filled my heart with shame for us
        F
For the way we are
     Am        Em        F
(The way we are)

# D   Am    D    Am   D   Am   F

# Verse III: 
  Am                D
I turned to look at you
           C                  D
To read my thoughts upon your face
    Am              D
And gazed so deep into your eyes
   C              D
So beautiful and strange
  Am                D              C             D
Until you spoke and showed me understanding is a dream
   Am                D
-I hate these people staring
          C             D
Make them go away from me-

# Chorus: 

# Outro:
    D             Am
And this is why I hate you
    D          Am
And how I understand
     D           Am                 F
That no-one ever knows or loves another

Close To Me

The Head On The Door

C
Two pale figures
Am
Ache in silence
C
Timeless
        Am
in the quiet ground
C
side by side
   Am
in age and sadness

C / Am
   C
I watched
          Am
And acted wordlessly
      C
As piece by piece
            Am
You performed your story
C                 Am
Moving through an unknown past
C               Am
Dancing at the funeral party

Fmaj7 (transition chord for two bars)


C              Am
Memories of childrens' dreams
     C
Lie lifeless fading
  Am
Lifeless
C                 Am
Hand in hand with fear and shadows
C                 A
Crying at the funeral party

Fmmaj7

   C
I heard a song 
    Am
And turned away
   C
As piece by piece
     Am
You performed your story
C            Am
Noiselessly across the floor
C               Am
Dancing at the funeral party

F

C / Am until end

Funeral Party

G#m      E                   D           Bm
I never thought that I would find myself
   G#m              E       D
In bed amongst the stones
    Bm               G#m
The columns are all men
            E       D
Begging to crush me
    Bm                 G#m             E
No shapes sail on the dark deep lakes
       D             Bm
And no flags wave me home

C
  In the caves
    Bm
All cats are grey
C
In the caves
    Bm
The textures coat my skin
C         Bm
In the death cell
C
A single note
       Bm           A
Rings on and on and on

All Cats Are Grey

Bb  Dm7  F  F
i couldn't hear a word you said
i couldn't hear at all
you talked until your tongue fell out
and then you talked some more
i knew if i turned
i'd turn away from you
and i couldn't look back

Gm                  F
tell yourself we'll start again                  
tell yourself it's not the end
tell yourself it couldn't happen

C#m
Floating here like this with you

Underneath the stars alight 
        B
For 13 billion years the view
                                               A
It's beautiful, and ours alone tonight

Underneath the stars

C#m
Spinning round and round with you

Watching shadows melt the light
         B
Soft shining from our eyes, into a tear
                                              A
Another space is ours alone tonight

Watching shadows melt

Solo - C#m E

The waves....break

Verse chords

Whisper in my ear, a wish
"We could drift away so far"
Your voice inside my head, a kiss
It's infinite, and ours alone tonight
Watching shadows melt or We could drift away

Solo - C#m E

Flying here like this with you
Underneath the stars alight
For 13 billion years the view
It's beautiful, and ours alone tonight
Underneath the stars

With everything gone
                A
And all still to come?

In each other's arms
So near and so far
Together as now
Underneath the stars

As the waves....break

Yesterday I got so old

I felt like I could die
A            D
Yesterday I got so old
   A               D 
It made me want to cry

A    
Go on go on

Just walk away

Go on go on

Your choice is made

That it couldn't be me and be her
                   A        D
Inbetween without you

Yesterday I got so scared

I shivered like a child

Inbetween Days

[Intro]
A   A

[Verse 1]
A               E          F#m  E   D
When you were staring at your bedroom wall
A           E           D
With only ghosts beside you
A       E               F#m    E    C#m            
Somewhere out where the wind was calling
      D       E            F#m
I was on my way to find you
      D       E            A
I was on my way to find you

A           E            F#m  E   D
And you were racing like a cannonball 
A           E           D
And roller skates and sky blue 
A                E               F#m    E    C#m   
Or in the backseat watching the slow rain falling
      D       E            A
I was on my way to find you

[Chorus]
Bm                    F#m      E
Gotta find out who I'm meant to be 
Bm                    F#m      E
I don't believe in destiny 
Bm                        F#m    D
But with every word you swear to me
C#                         F#m E Bm 
All my beliefs start caving in 
          D        E          E
Then I feel something about to change

[Verse 2]
A           E            F#m  E   D
So bring the lightning bring the fire bring the fall
A           E           D
I know ill get my heart through 
A                E               F#m    E    C#m
Got miles to go but from the day I started crawling
     D       E            A
I was on my way to find you
      D       E            A
I was on my way to find you
      D      E  F#m     D
I was on my way every day 
      D       E            A
I was on my way to find you

To Find You

[Verse]

E
It's two o'clock on the edge of the morning
E                                        A
She's running magical circles around my head
A
I hitch a ride on a dream she's driving
A                                        E
She turns to kiss me, I crash back into bed.


[Verse 2]

E
Across the street on a grayed-out Monday
E                                       A
I see the girl with the eyes I can't describe
A
And suddenly it's a perfect Sunday
A
And everything is more real than life.


[Chorus]

F#m                        B
I think I'm back in the dream
F#m                        B
I think I'm back on the ceiling
F#m                     B
It's such a beautiful feeling.

       E
Going up
              E
She lights me up
              A
She breaks me up
            A
She lets me up.


[Verse 3]

E
You find a mixture of bounding perfection
E                                               A
You've gotta read but you don't wanna reach the end
A
'Cause what if everything beautiful's fiction?
A
And this reality's just pretend?


[Chorus]

F#m                       B
And then I'm back in the dream
F#m                        B
I think I'm back on the ceiling
F#m                     B
It's such a beautiful feeling.

       E
Going up
              E
She lights me up
              A
She breaks me up
            A
She lets me up.


[Bridge]

A          C#m7          B
Up to the stars, she shows me
F#m                                       B
Dame Street, George's Street, miles below me
A           C#m7               F#m            B     E    E    A    A
Up and the world won't let us down. (La la la la)


[Chorus]

       E
Going up (It's two o'clock on the edge of the morning)
               E
She lights me up (She's running magical circles around my head)
              A
She breaks me up (I head to ride on a dream she's driving)
            A
She lets me 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

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

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


D                        A        
Right now is all we have you better make this count
Bm                     D
these are the moments i wish i could forget you.


D                            A                                          Bm
I think back to the nights I looked into your bright green eyes and you said,
     Em   A
lets run away.
D                            A                              Bm
its 9am the sun wont rise for 3 more hours pacific time you said
     Em   A
lets run away.

D-A-Bm-A

where have you been


                                                                        Bm
I think back to the nights I looked into your bright green eyes and you said,

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
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

when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

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.
