There are three bands called First Aid Kit:  1. Swedish indie/folk duo consisting of the young sisters Klara and Johanna Söderberg from Stockholm. The debut EP &quot;Drunken Trees&quot; was released on the 9th of April 2008 in Sweden on the label Rabid Records, owned by the Swedish electronic duo The Knife. The EP was re-released through Wichita Recordings early 2009.  The debut album The Big Black &amp; The Blue was released on January 25th, 2010.  Their 2nd album The Lion's Roar, produced by Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes, will be released on january 24th, 2012. 

First Aid Kit est un duo suédois composé de deux soeurs, Johanna et Klara Söderberg. Elles commencèrent à composer des chansons en 2007 mais c'est une reprise des Fleet Foxes qui les fit connaître lorsqu'elles en diffusèrent une vidéo sur YouTube.  Leur première composition, 'Tangerine', fut lancée sur les ondes suédoises à l'été 2007 et leur EP &quot;Drunken Trees&quot; sortit en avril 2008. Leur tout premier album, &quot;The Big Black &amp; The Blue&quot;, est disponible depuis le 25 janvier 2010.

Banda sueca de indie pop y folk formada en 2007. El dúo formado por las hermanas Johanna and Klara Söderberg. La primera puesta de largo de estas suecas tras su primer EP en 2008, Drunken Trees, se llama The Big Black And The Blue, un trabajo que se apoya en las dos voces de las hermanas y una guitarra, todo muy íntimo y recogido. Un disco perfecto para una noche de sofá, taza de té, un buen libro y First Aid Kit ambientando el momento.

Am    D7       G            Em
Wanderers this morning came by
Am        D7        G              Fmaj7   C
Where did they go, graceful in the morning light
   Fmaj7   C
To banner fair
   Fmaj7      G
To follow you softly in the cold mountain air

Vers 2:

Am          D7         G            Em
Through the forest and down to your grave
Am        D7                  G    Fmaj7 C
Where the birds wait and the tall grasses wave
Fmaj7    C
They do not
Fmaj7     G
Know you anymore

In the town one morning I went

Staggering through premonitions of my death

I don't see

anybody that dear to me

Tiger Mountain Peasant Song

G 
Yeah you cooked his dinners
D                          Em
You raised his children and still
             G
He's not satisfied
G
He says I rather switch with you
D
You don't now hard it is
Em         G
To work from 9-5
G 
But he speaks with his eyes closed
D
And even though you're not all alone
Em                           G
He's never there to be with you
G
And you remember when you were young
D
When life was new and it was fun
Em                              G
Now every corner's filled with dust

D          C                  G 
But you're not coming home tonight

G
You just took the train
D
And you left without a wave
Em                                 G
Figured he'd never let you leave anyway
G
And now you're sitting in that train
D
Seeing life in a new way
Em                       G
And every forest sings a song
G
One for the heartbroken lovers
D
And one for the dreamers
Em                             G
And then there's one just for you
G
The wind's been humming on it all day
D
And the soil lies awake
Em                      G
Waiting for it's drum solo

D             C                    G
'Cause you're not coming home tonight

Em            A7
The ship is sailing
C                           G
I'll meet you on the other side
Em            A7
The future's unclear
C                          G
But hopefully it will be fine
D      C                    G
You're not coming home tonight

Youre Not Coming Home Tonight

C                    E
Let's not spill the truth
Am                  F
It's easier being alone
C                      E
You're a shadow of the old
Am                    F
And I want something new

C                    E
You've quit dreaming again
Am                  F
I can see it now clear
C                    E
But I wake up every morning
Am                  F
With the big black and the blue

Am
Let's take this for what it is
                       C 
You tell me you have changed
Am
Well we all change in our own ways
                    E
In our own pretty ways

C                E
Mmmm lalalalalalala

C                E
Mmmm lalalalalalala

C                    E
It all comes down to this
Am                       F
I'm an ocean, you're the rain
C                    E
The ice is melting fast
Am                                 F
But you're not pulling down the brakes

C                       E
You'll start drinking again
Am                 F
I can see it now clear
C                    E
How you'll wake up every morning
Am                       F
With a new bird in your cage

Am
Even the most peaceful town
                     C
Once was a battleground
Am
Well we all change in our own ways
                   E
In our own pretty ways

Am
Even in our police state
                     C
Someone dares to demonstrate
Am
Well we all fight in our own ways
                   E
But nothing ever change 

C                E
Mmmm lalalalalalala

C                E
Mmmm lalalalalalala

C                E
Mmmm lalalalalalala

C                Am  
Mmmm lalalalalalala

Intro:

verse:

G                  D
So you ask for my opinion

      C                G
Well what is there to say

G                      D
To be honest and just foolish

       C              G
Won't make you wanna stay

G                            D
You've got to go on and get moving

       C                 G
And I can't do that for you

G            D            C               G
Got so many plans and so much you want to do

Your delusion imagery

G                       D
Well I don't need your eternity
         C               G
Or your meaning to feel free

G                     D     
I just live because I love to

     C                 G
And that's enough you see

G                            D
So don't come preach about morality

That's just human sense to me

All of these ghost towns I keep travelling through
Fmaj7             C                   G                     Fmaj7
All of these traffic signs and lonesome bars blindsiding me and you
Am                    Fmaj7
And I swear I can be better
Am                    G
I could be more to you
Am                              Fmaj7
But there are things that lie in my path
Am                    G
That I just have to do


Chorus:
C
If you've got visions of the past
Fmaj7                   Am
Let them follow you down

For they'll come back to you someday
C                                    Fmaj7         Am
And I found myself attached to this railroad track
Fmaj7                              C
But I'll come back to you someday

Verse:
Fmaj7                       C             G            Fmaj7
And I remember how you told me all that you wanted to do
Fmaj7                        C           G                Fmaj7
That dream of Paris in the morning or a New York window view
       Am                      Fmaj                              
And I can see it now you're married and your wife is with a child
    Am                            Fmaj7        Am                      G
And you're all laughing in the garden and I'm lost somewhere in your mind


Chorus:
C
If you've got visions of the past
Fmaj7                   Am
Let them follow you down
Fmaj7                                C
For they'll come back to you someday
C                                    Fmaj7         Am
And I found myself attached to this railroad track
Fmaj7                              C
But I'll come back to you someday

To you

To you

Someday


Verse:
Fmaj7                G              C         Am
Maybe I should just turn around and walk away
Fmaj7              G                C           Am
For no matter how much I really do want to stay
Fmaj7                              G
You know I can't no, it's too late


Chorus:
C                                    Fmaj7         Am

Ghost Town

G                 C
I met up with the king
Em               G
He confessed his body was burning
G                 C
I met up with the king
    Em       G
His body had begun to rot
       C    Em                  G
And he said don't think less of me
              C        Em        G
I'm still the same man I used to be
   
    C         G
But no one believed him
C         G
No one believed him

C  G  C  G  C  G

G                    C
I once knew a pretty girl
    Em         G
And she was in love with the world
G                     C
And she loved a young man
Em                     G
Who loved her body but never saw her mind
   C    Em                 G
He took everything she had kept
                 C          Em            G
And then he took everything else that was left

C          G
But no one believed her
   C      G
No one believed her

G                    C
I feel just like the king
     Em          G
As I fall on the muddy ground
G                    C
I feel just like you gal
        Em
There's people thinking
     G
They know something now
     C            Em          G
Well I don't know anything at all

I Met Up With The King

intro: 
Am  Fmaj7  Dm  E (x2)


         Am               Fmaj7
Well you drove off in the summer rain
  Dm                  E
I waved to you like a sleeping dream
           Am              Fmaj7            Dm  E
Told me to stay callous if someone bothered me 
     Am                Fmaj7
"The Eiffel Tower, the marching band
    Dm                    E
But I'm sure you wouldn't understand"
       Am             Fmaj7 Dm E
I just hope you don't stay  gone

      Am  Fmaj7 Dm          E                   Am  Fmaj7 Dm E
Don't leave  ........ don't leave this world to me                  (x2)

  Am                     Fmaj7
I saw your mother in the department store
    Dm                     E
She looked innocent like a still-born
Am              Fmaj7           Dm  E
But all I could think about was the sting
Am                Fmaj7
Since you've gone nothing's been the same
    Dm                      E
The wind don't sing and the sky's so dim
Am            Fmaj7            Dm   E
I've seen her staring up to it saying

      Am  Fmaj7 Dm          E                   Am  Fmaj7 Dm E
Don't leave  ........ don't leave this world to me                  (x2)

Am       F      G        E
When the winter calls to war
Am       F      G            E
When the spring sets in once more
Am       F      G         E
When the summer starts to sing
Am       F    G              E
When the fall comes marching in

       Am  Famj7 Dm              E                    Am  Fmaj7 Dm E
You'll leave ...........  You'll leave  this world to me

outro:
Em   A
Aaah aah   (x7)

VERSE:
             F       Am           Bb        F
Oh the bitter winds are coming in
             F              Am        Bb        F
And I'm already missing the summer
      F            Am                      Bb
Stockholms cold but I've been told
             F        Am                         Bb         F
I was born to endure this kind of weather
                   F     Am                            Bb
when it's you I find like a ghost in my mind
               F             Am                     C
I am defeated and gladly wear the crown

CHORUS:
F                                       Bb
  I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
   Dm                                C
if you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
                      F                   Bb
  You know I'm not asking much of you
     Dm               C                         F
Just sing little darling, sing with me

 VERSE
Now so much I know that things just don't grow
If you don't bless them with your patience
And I've been there before I held up the door
For every stranger with a promise

But I'm holding back, that's the strength that I lack
Every morning keeps returning at my window
And it brings me to you and I won't just pass through
But I'm not asking for a storm

CHORUS

Dm      Am                 Bb           F
   And yes I might have lied to you
Dm                    Am           Bb                     F
   You wouldn't benefit from knowing the truth
Dm      Am               Bb           F
   I was frightened but I held fast
Dm      Am       Bb             F
  I need you now I don't last

CHORUS x2
        Dm           C                        F
Just sing little darling, sing with me

[Verse 1]
D                    G
In the morning on the train

D                   G
sitting and staring at the rain 

D        G               A  
or bury yourself in your books.

A                                                  D G D G
Don't look at no strangers, no don't give them any looks. 

D                                G
Well you ask yourself why you're so afraid, 

D                             G   
why you hesitate when someone asks your name. 

D                                 G             A
But they'll come too close if you tell them the truth. 

A                                     D  G  D  G
Who's to say they want something from you?


[Chorus]
Em               A     D              G   
Well your just a shell of your former youth. 

Em                   A       D          G                       D G D G
That stranger in the mirror, oh, that's you. Why do you look so blue?

[Verse 2]
Then the only man you ever loved, he thought was going to marry you, died in a car 
accident when he was only twenty-two. Then you just decided love wasn't for you. 
And every year since then has proved it to be true.

[Chorus]
Now your just a shell of your former youth. That stranger in the mirror, oh, 
that's you. Why do you look so blue?

[Bridge]
Em    A                 G      D
Maybe tomorrow you will make a change.

Em    A                      G        D
Maybe some day soon you will find the strength.

[Chorus]
Now your just a shell of your former youth. That stranger in the mirror, oh, 
that's you. Why do you look so blue?


This is my first tab so its not great and i'm sure its all totally right (espec in 
the bridge) but it sounds alright

Intro: C  G  C  G  C  G  D  D

  C            G             C           G
At ten in the morning I was laughing at something 
C        G      D
At the airport terminal 
    C           G      C       G      C         G   D 
At nine in the evening I was sitting crying to you over the phone 
     C             G             C         G
While passing the border from a state to another 
             C      G                D
Filled with people whom I couldn't help to relate to 

And we stopped a while at a roadside restaurant 
Where the waitress was sitting outside smoking in her car 
She had that look of total fear in her eyes 
And as we drove away from there she looked at me and she smiled 

I keep running around, trying to find the ground 
But my head is in the stars my feet are in the sky 
Well I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl 
I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kii--ing of the world 

Interlude backing chords: G  C  G  C  G  C  D  D

And once you asked me well what's my biggest fear 
That things would always remain so unclear 
That one day I'd wake up all alone 
With a big family and emptiness deep in my bones 
That I would be so blinded, turn a deaf ear
And that my fake laugh would suddenly sound sincere 

Now I wasn't born for anything 
Wasn't born to say anything 
I'm just here now and soon I'll be gone 
I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl 
I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kiii--ing of the world 

[Interlude again]

Now every day there's a short intermission
While I sleep they start dimming the lights 
But I've seen everything I ever want to see 
Screaming "FIRE!!" in the theater, people taking their seats 
Watch it all go down like the stone in the stream 
You fall for your reflection, you drown in the dream 

Tell me something real, tell me something true 
I just want to feel there's something left that I can do 
But I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl 
I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kiii-ing of the world

[Another interlude, then the song ends with a G]

King Of The World

Intro: C  Fmaj7  Am   G

C                    Fmaj7
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers
Am                   G
In the parts we play to convince others
C                       Fmaj7
We know what we're doing, we're doing it right
Am                                                   G          
May have written books on the subject, but then you may still be surprised
C                                    Fmaj7
By your tone over the phone, to your sister while waiting in line
Am                       G
At the shopping mall just outside of town

C
Oh-hoo, 
Fmaj7
oh-hoo, 
Am
oh-hoo... 
G
Oooh

[Same chords as the last verse]
In the hands of teachers, in the books you read
The things we say when we've lost the lead
I still try to speak up, when my voice won't make a sound
And I thought it all over too many times
When there is no use, and the lights are all out
I just give it up, and I walk home 
Past the shopping mall that's just closing... Down

[Play this part 2x]
C
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Fmaj7
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Am
Oh-hoo...

Oooh 

Am                            G
We tell yourself you are must be what you be
Am                                             G
Who's to say who is who and what is what if you simply don't agree, now
Am                           G
Time will come to claim you, and it will have its way
      Am       G            Am      G
Don't make no mistakes and don't regret
Am               G    Am      G
Don't waste the time that is left
         Am        G                 C         
And then do it all... With a goddamn smile

In The Hearts Of Men

Intro: Bm

Bm
 It's me, it's me, you've come to take
 My duality awakes
   G         D      A         D
 By midnight time I could not see,
   G       D      A          Bm
 If I were you or you were me

Bm
 We play the game with skillful hands
 And so I asked for your demands
     G        D          A       D
 Give me your love, give me your thumb
        G         D       A            A
 And he traced us back to where we begun

D
 So the morning came
G
 And swept the night away
Bm
 As I was looking for
   A
 A way to disappear
D
 Amongst the quiet things
G
 And all these empty streets
Bm                        A
 I found a way, I found a way
 To reappear...

Em             G
 I'll follow you
           Bm
 Where you go
Em            G
 Yes, I'll be there
            Bm
 Just so you know
Em              G
 I need your condolence
         Bm
 And your trust
Em           G
 But I won't ask
              D
 Won't ask for much

          Bm
 There's a heavy load upon our backs
 Of things we carry from the past
    G            D        A        D
 My guilt-filled mind, it tried to run
        G         D       A           A
 But it traced us back to where we begun

D
 So the morning came
G
 And swept the night away
Bm
 As I was looking for
   A
 A way to disappear
D
 Amongst the quiet things
G
 And all these empty streets

 I found a way, I found a way
 To reappear...

Em            G
 I'll follow you
           Bm
 Where you go
Em            G
 Yes, I'll be there
             Bm
 Just so you know
Em              G
 I need your condolence
          Bm
 And your trust
Em           G
 But I won't ask
               Em
 Won't ask for much

           G          Em
 I'll only ask for so much
             G                  D         D
 No, I won't ask, won't ask for much

verse 1
         Em            G       D          Em
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
             Em                 G            Em
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
               Em             G                         D     Em
The fact that they'd been blindly to see by those who preach and pray and teach
         Em                  G                   Em

Don't you come here and say I didn't warn you

About the way your world can alter

And oh, how you try to command it all, still

Every single time it all shifts one way or another

Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
             Em        G         Em
That I could read you just like a book

For now I can only guess what's coming next

By examining your timid smile
         Em           G        D(STRUM ONLY ONCE)            Em
And the ways that the old, old wind, blowin' you back around

And I'm a goddamn fool, but then again so are you

far away from you
Though unwillingly I left
and it was so, so hard to do


Am C Em Am
The streets here at home had rapidly filled up
with the whitest of snow
And they don't make no excuse for themselves
and there's no need, I know

F Am G F
Now I miss you more than I can take
and I will surely break
And every morning that I wake
god, it's the same


C Em Am G C
There's nothing more to it,
I just get through it
Oh, there's nothing more to it
I just get through it


Am Em
It always takes me by surprise
how dark it gets this time of the year
And how apparent it all becomes
that you're not close, not even near
No matter how many times I tell myself
I have to be sincere
I have a hard time standing up
and facing those fears


Am C Em Am
But Frank put it best when he said
"You can't plan on the heart"
Those words keep me on my feet
when I think I might just fall apart


F Am G F
Now I miss you more than I can take
and I will surely break
And every morning that I wake
god, it's the same


C Em Am G C
There's nothing more to it,
I just get through it
Oh, there's nothing more to it
I just get through it
Oh, there's nothing more to it
I just get through it


D Am G D
And so I ask where are you now
just when I needed you
I won't ask again
Because I know there's nothing we can do
Not now, darling, you know it's true


D Am G D
Oooh...

[Verse]

         Em            G       D          Em
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
             Em                 G            Em
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
               Em             G                         D     Em
The fact that they'd been blindly to see by those who preach and pray and teach
         Em                  G                   Em
But she falls short and the night explodes with laughter

           Em            G      D         Em
Don’t you come here and say I didn’t warn you
          Em         G       Em
About the way your world can alter
         Em      G         D            Em
And oh, how you try to command it all, still
        Em                  G                   Em
Every single time it all shifts one way or another


[Chorus]

           C         G               D           Em
And I’m a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
         C       G       D        Em
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
       C         G      D       Em
As we evaded and hollering for you
       C      G     D               Em
And I never really knew, what to do


[Instrumental]

Em G D Em


[Verse]

        Em                G               D          Em
Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
             Em        G         Em
That I could read you just like a book
       Em      G          D             Em
For now I can only guess what’s coming next
   Em             G        Em
By examining your timid smile
         Em           G        D                              Em
And the ways that the old, old wind, blowin’ you back around


[Chorus]

          C        G              D           Em
And I’m a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
         C       G         D     Em
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
        C               G     D       Em
Has me singing out and searching for you
       C     G      D                Em
And I never really knew, what to do


[Instrumental]

Em G D Em
Em G D Em


[Bridge]

Em           D            C                Em
Sometimes I wish I could find my rose mary hill
  Em             D           C                     Em
I sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I’d sing
          C          G        D               Em
And every once in a while I’d sing a song for you
           C               G                 D             Em
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
          C                               Em
And if I wanted it to, it would lead you back to me


[Chorus]

(STRUM ONLY ONCE ALL)

        C      G         D       Em
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
    C             G       D       Em
Is something that I have heard before
   C          G         D       Em
a children’s tale, the lonesome wail
Em   G    D           Em
of a liiiiion’s roar

Am
Wolf mother, where you been?
C                   G              Am
You look so worn, so thin
Am
You're a taker, devil's maker
             C             G                         Am
Let me hear you sing, hey ya hey ya
Am
Wolf father, at the door
C               G             Am
You don't smile anymore
Am                     
You're a drifter, shapeshifter
          C                   G                   Am
Let me see you run, hey ya hey ya
Am                                                   C                G            Am
Holy light, oh, burn the night, oh keep the spirits strong
Am
Watch it grow, child of wolf
C       G         Am
Keep holdin' on
             Am                                    C                     G              Am
When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
          Am                            C                          G                    Am
Where the sun would set, trees were dead and the rivers were none
       Am                         C                         G                             Am
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
                 Am                           C                     G                      Am
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace

Am,C,G,Am (for all this)
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Ya.

Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taken, devil's maker
Let me hear you say, hey ya hey ya

Wolf father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shapeshifter
Let me see you run, hey ya hey ya

Wayward winds, the voice that sings of a forgotten land
See it fall, child of wolf
Lend a mending hand

When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set, trees were dead and the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace

Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Ya.

Dm        Bb             F
When I grow up, I want to be a forester
C                           Dm
Run through the moss on high heels
                      Bb     F
That's what I'll do, throwing out boomerang

Waiting for it to come back to me

Bb, F, C

Dm         Bb     F
When I grow up, I want to live near the sea
C                        Dm
Crab claws and bottles of rum
                           Bb      F
That's what i'll have, staring at the seashell
C                     Dm      Bb      F   C
Waiting for it to embrace me, oh ohhh ooh oh

It goes way bad, I never liked a sad look
C                            Dm            Bb   F     C

they let me keep the soil moist
                      Bb
On the seventh day I rest

for a minute or two
     C                  Dm           Bb   F   C     Dm   Bb  F    C

You've got cucumbers on your eyes

Too much time spent on nothing
C                       Dm
waiting for a moment to arise
                Bb          F
The face in the ceiling and arms too long
C                      Dm       Bb   F    C      Dm
I'm waiting for him to catch me oooh oooh oooh   oooh

# Intro: Am - G - F - C
       Am - G - F

    C                    Am
The sun shone high those few summer days
C                  Am
Left us in a song, wide-eyed haze
Dm           G
It shone like gold
Dm           G
It shone like gold

    C               Am
But just as the moon it shines straight
C      Am
So dawn goes down today
Dm         G
No gold can stay
Dm         G
No gold can stay

F
What if our hard work ends in despair?
C
What if the road won't take me there?
Am                  G              F
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

F
What if to love and be loved is not enough?
C
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Am                  G              F
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold
             Am    G    F    C     Am    G   F
We could stay gold

      C                 Am
We're on our way through rugged land
C                       Am
Top of that mountain we wanted to stand
Dm            G
With hearts of gold
Dm            G
With hearts of gold

          C              Am
But there is only forward, no other way
C                                  Am
Tomorrow was your whole bad at the end of the day
Dm            G
And gold turns gray
Dm            G
And gold turns gray

F
What if our hard work ends in despair?
C
What if the road won't take me there?
Am                  G              F
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved is not enough?
C
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Am                  G              F
Oh, I wish, for once, we could stay gold
             Am    G    F    C     Am    G   F
We could stay gold


F         C            Em               F
All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
           C     Em          F
Of memories where I can't get back
            C            Em            F
All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
           C     Em          F
Of memories where I can't get back
   Am     G     F     C     Am    G    F
To you

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

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

[chorus]

E D                 A

ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)


A                       E
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]

E D                 A

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.
