Echo

Oooh oooh 

Hmmmmh 

(Verse) 
C                                   G
It's been the longest winter without you 
Am                       F
I didn't know where to turn to 
C                          G
See somehow I can't forget you 
Am                          F
After all that we've been through 
C
Going 
Coming 
          G
Thought I heard a knock(Whose there, Noone?) 
        Am
Thinking that (I deserve it) 
Now I have realised 
F
That I really didn't know.. 

If you didn't notice 
You mean everything (quickly I'm learning) 
To love again (all I know is) 
I'm be ok.. 

(Chorus) 

C
Thought I couldn't live without you 
G                                 Am
It's going to hurt when it heals too 
            F
Oh yeaah (It'll all get better in time) 
Even though I really love you 
I'm gonna smile because I deserve too 
Oooh(It'll all get better in time) 

(Verse) 

(...)

Better In Time

F
Closed off from love 
I didn't need the pain 
Dm
Once or twice was enough 
And it was all in vain 
Bb
Time starts to pass 
Before you know it you're frozen 
C

F
But something happened 
For the very first time with you
Dm 
My heart melts into the ground 
Found something true 
Bb
And everyone's looking round 
Thinking I'm going crazy 
C

F
But I don't care what they say 
I'm in love with you 
Dm
They try to pull me away 
But they don't know the truth 
Bb
My heart's crippled by the vein 
That I keep on closing 
C
You cut me open and I 

F
Keep bleeding 
Keep, keep bleeding love 
Dm
I keep bleeding 
I keep, keep bleeding love 
Bb
Keep bleeding 
Keep, keep bleeding love 
C
You cut me open 

F
Trying hard not to hear 
But they talk so loud 
Dm
Their piercing sounds fill my ears 
Try to fill me with doubt 
Bb
Yet I know that the goal 
Is to keep me from falling 
C

F
But nothing's greater 
Than the rush that comes with your embrace 
Dm
And in this world of loneliness 
I see your face 
Bb
Yet everyone around me        C   
Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe 

F
But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you 
Dm
They try to pull me away 
But they don't know the truth
Bb 
My heart's crippled by the vein 
That I keep on closing 
C
You cut me open and I 

F
Keep bleeding 
Keep, keep bleeding love 
Dm
I keep bleeding 
I keep, keep bleeding love 
Bb
Keep bleeding 
Keep, keep bleeding love 
C
You cut me open 

F
And it's draining all of me 
Dm
Oh they find it hard to believe 
Bb
I'll be wearing these scars 
C
For everyone to see 

F
I don't care what they say 
I'm in love with you 
Dm
They try to pull me away 
But they don't know the truth 
Bb
My heart's crippled by the vein 
That I keep on closing 
C
You cut me open and I 

F
Keep bleeding 
Keep, keep bleeding love 
Dm
I keep bleeding 
I keep, keep bleeding love 
Bb
Keep bleeding 
Keep, keep bleeding love
C 
You cut me open and I 

F
Keep bleeding 
Keep, keep bleeding love
Dm 
I keep bleeding 
I keep, keep bleeding love 
Bb
Keep bleeding 
Keep, keep bleeding love
C 
You cut me open and I 
F
Keep bleeding 
Keep, keep bleeding love

Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away

Look for you on Marley Lane

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

You can run away boy, but you won't go far

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.

Overreacting

repeats.
