Remember those times on the telephone line

Trying to break through to you

I'm on the other side of this world

I wish I was there with you

All these days and all these nights

Thinking about you my friend

I can't wait to get back home

And do it all over again

 C#m7                 A
Even though I can hear your voice

Don't you know that touch is my choice

Remember those times driving down the coast

Stopping at all the spots we love the most

Watching the wind blowing through your hair

Living our life like we just don't care

All these days and all these nights

Thinking about you my friend

I can't wait to get back home

And do it all over again

You know that you're still so far away

I'm on the telephone but you're still

So far away

I'm over here but you're still

So far away

I let you know that

#Intro

C C/B Am Am/G F G C

( C C/B Am Am/G F G C )
It's six in the morning and not a place to go
My mind is running
But I don't know
When to speed up, even slow down
This road here laughs at me like I'm a clown

( F G C )
But you got to go around the world that's around you
Go out on the streets that surround you
One day we'll all be taught
Love is all we got
I said , love is all we got

( C C/B Am Am/G F G C )
A sense of worth when the day is done
'Cause you tried your hardest out on the run
You looke back and wonder if it's all worth it
But you can never put a price on the days that we're perfect

#Chorus

( F G C )
But you got to go around the world that's around you
Go out on the streets that surround you
One day we'll all be tired
Love is all we got,

( C C/B Am Am/G F G C )
 got, got baby
Love is all we got
Yo know we got, got, got, baby
Love is all we got

( Bb F C )
Go Out and find some
Find some love
Go out and find some
Find some love
Go out and find some
Go out and find some love 
( Bb F G )

( C C/B Am Am/G F G C )
Well I don't know if you love or hat it
But it's better than a book in a room that is faded
So cover up these scars that are on my feet
With only the beautiful pictures of all the people we meet

( F G C )
But you got to go around the world that's around you
Go out on the streets that surround you
One day we'll all be taught

Keeping Me Away From You

A                                         E
Well it's getting late, I've been waiting up,
          F#m               C#m
You come home like you had enough
D                     A              E
Tonight could be the night to break us
        A                     E
Always breaking up, then were making up
     F#m                  C#m
I'm giving in, then we're making love
D                      A          E
I think it's time for you to wake up

D      E                F#m  E
And I know it's hard to let go
D                  E
But this time you can't

#Chorus
A          E            F#m      D
Take back everything we said and start again
     A       E          D         D
Your cycle's wearing me out
     A         E             F#m    D
Your words are enemies, that burn relentlessly,
    A          E          D         D
You can't keep pushing me down

A                                        E
You think you're tough talking about the pain
                F#m                C#m
You're getting knocked down by the waves
        D                  A           E
Well I think it's time for you to grow up
         C#m                   D
You were spending time telling all your friends
       A                   E
You're doing fine, I'll be back again
D                   A             E
Covering up all the lies you make up

D      E             F#m E
I'm so glad I had to let go
D                  E
'cause this time you can't

#Chorus
A          E            F#m      D
Take back everything we said and start again
     A       E          D         D
Your cycle's wearing me out
     A         E             F#m    D
Your words are enemies, that burn relentlessly,
    A          E          D         D
You can't keep pushing me down

           Bm             F#m          E
You may be afraid to love again, Was a fool with my heart,
       F#m          C#m          D
I kept holding your hand, I kept playing the part,
              Bm              F#m          E
Just like the things that you fake, I was trying so hard
        D                           Dm
You're sitting on the edge, and you pushed to far

#Instrumental
 A  E  F#m  D  A  E  D

You can't

#Chorus
A          E            F#m      D
Take back everything we said and start again
     A       E          D         D
Your cycle's wearing me out
     A         E             F#m    D
Your words are enemies, that burn relentlessly,
    A          E          D         D
You can't keep pushing me down
A          E            F#m      D
Take back everything we said and start again
     A       E          D         D
Your cycle's wearing me out
A           E
can't keep pushing me down
F#m         D
can't keep pushing me down
A           E              F#m
can't keep pushing me down, no

Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead
                G                 Em
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
                   G                         Em
But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

               G                    Em
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds
                  C               G  D
I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime
               G                            Em 
Darling just hold my hand, be my girl, I’ll be your man
          C              D
I see my future in your eyes



       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

School Friends

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.

Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

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
