Prayer Of The Refugee

Endgame / Appeal To Reason / Siren Song Of The Counter Culture / The Sufferer & The Witness

E                                        A
We've been alright up until now
             E                                B
But the air that we breathe is about to run out
           E                                          A
We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud
            E                                  B
But the cue never came and the lights,
                           E
They never went down
                                 A
So we're passing the time
                            E
While time passes us
                           B                             E
The fast lane's a term never applied to us
                            A
Not a dime to my name
                           E
Or a prayer in the world
                       B
I walk out the door


E      A        E                    B
Destination: anywhere but here
                   E
Away from you!
                          A
Now I'm on my way to the other side
E                     A                E
I'll forget everything I left behind
                      A
These empty rooms
B
Are still filled with you


E                                     A
And so I dropped out of my own race
    E
A race with no finish line,
B
No first or last place
E                      A
These faces all rush right past me
   E                    B
I turn and walk away
                  E                                       A
'Cause we finally know now what our time here's about,
                      E
We were not meant to be
              B
Another face in the crowd
             E
We're a forest of lives
              A
And we grow tall and wide
                 E                 B
And we'll never be cut down


E      A        E                    B
Destination: anywhere but here
                   E
Away from you!
                          A
Now I'm on my way to the other side
E                     A                E
I'll forget everything I left behind
                      A
These empty rooms
B
Are still filled with you



E         A           E                            B
I'm so tired and turned around and scared
E            A          E                 B
And I'm lying in empty beds again
E                          A
I'll wait for you to come
E                         B
To your senses, barbed wire fences
             E         A          E
Won't keep me from breaking through
   B
I swear I will to you


E                       A
Now I'm on my way to the other side
E                     A
I'll forget everything I left behind
E                   A
These empty rooms
B
Are still filled with you
A
Are still filled with you


E          A           E                            B
I'm so tired and turned around and scared
E            A          E                 B
And I'm lying in empty beds again

Away from you

Anywhere But Here 

C#m              E               B               A  
One last thing I beg you please, just before you go
     C#m                E                B               A   
I've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world
           C#m              E               B                 A
until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
C#m              E                   B               A
Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around
             B
To catch you falling down
                   A
And I'm looking at you now

  


    E       B               C#m     A  
And I can't tell if you're laughing
   E         B               C#m          A   
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
          E             B          C#m   A   
There's a train leaving town in an hour
         E           B        C#m       A   
It's not waiting for you and neither am I




C#m              E            B                 A  
Swing for the fences son, he must have told you once
C#m         E               B             A  
That was a conversation you took nothing from
              C#m              E         B                  A  
so raise your glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done
C#m           E             B                    A  
Just put off another day of knowing where you're from
                      B  
You can catch up with yourself
       A
if you run



    E       B               C#m     A  
And I can't tell if you're laughing
   E         B               C#m          A   
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
          E             B          C#m   A   
There's a train leaving town in an hour
         E           B        C#m       A   
It's not waiting for you and neither am I




    E       B               C#m     A  
And I can't tell if you're laughing
   E         B               C#m          A   
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
          E             B          C#m   A   
There's a train leaving town in an hour
         E           B        C#m       A   
It's not waiting for you and neither am I

Am             F         G         Am
Suffering from something we're not sure of

In a world there is no cure for

      F        G         Em       F        Am
These lives we live test negative for happiness

Flat line, no pulse, but eyes open

                 F           G          Am
Single file like soldiers on a mission

             F         G     Em
If theres no war outside our heads

           F    G
Why are we losing?

Is there a God tonight?

Up in the sky or is it empty just like me (Just like me)

              Am
A place where we can hide out from the night

      Dm
Where you are all I see (Where you are all I see)

          Am
So blow a kiss goodbye, close your eyes

Dm
Tell me what you see (Tell me what you see)

A life that's spent inside this dream of mine

C               G
  I can still remember
                        Am
The words and what they meant
                             F
As we etched them with our fingers

In years of wet cement
C                        G
  Days blurred into each other
                         Am
Though everything seemed clear
                       F
We cruised along at half speed 

But then we shifted gears 


Am           F               C                D
 We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
Am        F                   G
 But even then we should have stayed


              Am   F
But we ran away
    C              G
Now all my friends gone
   Am          F              C                   G
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
      Am   F
Runaway 
C                  G
what are we running from ?
  Am                 F             C           G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone ? 


C               G
  Identities assume us 
                     Am
As nine and five add up
              F
Synchronizing watches 

To the seconds that we lost
C                  G
  I looked up and saw you
                    Am
I know that you saw me
                   F
We froze but for a moment

In empathy 


Am                   F               C               D
  I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
Am          F          G
 You gave my emptiness away 


             Am   F
And you ran away
    C              G
Now all my friends gone
   Am          F              C                   G
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
      Am   F
Runaway 
C                  G
what are we running from ?
  Am                 F             C           G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone ? 
 

Am     F   C             Am   F    G
 We?re all ok, until the day we?re not
Am   F       C                 Am  F  G
 The surface shines, while the inside rots
Am  F         C             Am  F  G
 We raced the sunset and we almost won
Am  F           C               Am     F    G
 We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on 


            Am   F
And we ran away
    C              G
Now all my friends gone
   Am          F              C                   G
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
      Am   F
Runaway 
C                  G
what are we running from ?
  Am                 F             C           G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone ?

Audience Of One

# VERSE:
Em           G              D              C   D Em
  We are the children you reject and disregard
             G                   D               C   D Em
These aching cries come from the bottom of our hearts
             G              D                      C   D  Em
You can't disown us now, we are your own flesh and blood
          G               D                   C          D   Em      
We don't disappear just because your eyes are shut, Now tell me

# PRE-CHORUS:
C
Love, Loss
                    D
Like a bullets path

Tear, Through
                 C
The cavity of my chest

Lights, Out
                     D(ring out)
Because the fuse has blown

# CHORUS:
Em      G       D
As your castles crumble slowly
C  G          D    
We watch them fall
Em        G          D
The crown slips from heads unworthy
C      G    D
 As we take control

# VERSE:
This is the family that we crossed or never had
This is a war that was lost the day that it began
Because it's the race we run, but it keeps us at the start
It's the song I sung from the bottom of heart, That's how we

# PRE-CHORUS:
Read, You
Like a polygraph
Not, One
Single bone in your back
own, Up
To how you let us down

As your castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
The crown slips from heads unworthy
As we take control

                Em                                G      C
Everyone is the same, we know we know, we know we know..

This happens almost never

Appeal To Reason

C         F
In the face of change,
C             G                  C
that's when she turned to me and said:
         F         C   G
"I'm not sure anymore..."
  C         F
And there, amidst the waves
        C		    	
and the cloudless skies...
     G                    C			
That blanket, the year before...
  F                     C   G
I watch my life wash ashore.
(PM)
  C                  F
Have you ever been a part of something
 C      G                  C
that you thought would never end?
    F                    C    G
And then, of course, it did.
 c                    F
HAVE you ever felt the weight inside you,
 C          G             C
pulling away inside your skin?
     F                 C    G
Then something had to give...

G  G G7 G6add11

C
 And now the lines are drawn...
G
 Is this feeling gone?
C                  F                   C
 The best parts of this have come and gone
            G              F     F
and now that... is all that this iiiis.
C
 With the reasons clear,
G
 We'll spend another year...
C
 Without direction,
F             C
 full of fear,
              G	          F    F
but now things... will be differeeent.

(PM)
 C                    F
There's nothing simple when it comes to you and I...
 C                G                      C
  Always something in this everchanging life;
          F                 C      G
and there probably always will.
 C                       F
NOW that time is getting harder to come by,
  C                      G               C
  the same arguments are always on our minds,
             F                C    G
killed this slowly fading lights.

G  G G7 G6add11

C
 And now the lines are drawn...
G
 Is this feeling gone?
C                  F                   C
 The best parts of this have come and gone
            G              F     F
and now that... is all that this iiiis.
C
 With the reasons clear,
G
 We'll spend another year...
C
 Without direction,
F             C
 full of fear,
              G	          F    F
but now things... will be differeeent.

C
And now something, has kept me here too long...
C
And you can't leave me, if I'm already gone

        C         F            Am       G
And now something, has kept me here too long...\
              C         F              G        2x
And you can't leave me, if I'm already gone... /

       C                       F	
And we make the same mistakes; we're always hanging on.
Am                 G		 
Break the promises we're always leaning on.
C            F               G	
All this time  spent waking up...
    C                   F	
Now keep this line open  to get this call from you,
Am                   G
speak the words that keep me coming back to you
C            F             G
Now this time  it's all different...

C
And now something has kept me here too long,
              C
and now I'm gone...

A                  G
They turn the lights down low,
C                   F
In shadows hiding from the world,
C           A                G
Only coming out when it gets cold

A                       G
The seas part when they hit the floor,
C                       F
The voices carry on and out the door
C                  A                G
And everything you touch turns into gold

         C     F           G     A          G         F     
Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my 
G    A  
chest,
               C         F
Your eyes they penetrate me,

           G     F      G   
Thats when I got up and left

A                     G
A beating heart and a microphone,
C                     F
A ticking clock in an empty home
C                    A             G
Still tells of these times so long ago,

A                   G
And even though Ive come so far,

Each and everyday 
C        F
it leads into tomorrow
    C                   A                G
And tomorrow brings one less day without you

A                G
But dont wait up just leave the light on
C             F
Cause all the roads that I might take
     C       A                G 
will all one day lead back to you

         C     F           G     A          G         F

Like The Angel

Em                    C
simply because you can breathe doesn't mean you're alive,
G                  Dm
or that you really live,
Em                     C
this life has taken its toll,
                 G                          Dm
she just doesn't know how much more she can give 

    Em                     C			
But here, at the top of the world, 
                 G                     Dm
where I raise my hands and I clench my fists,
    Em                   C
they stand before me below demanding the 
G                       Dm
answers with flips of a switch

Em             Dm                   C
I don't understand where you got this idea,
   Em              Dm     C		
so deeply engrained in your head (that this world)
   Em            Dm      C
is something that you must impress,
  Em    Dm           C
cause I couldn't care less

  Em                   C			  
a need for revolution's rising, 
                G                    Dm
it comes to the surface, gasping for air,
          Em                      C
and we're not putting up with this planet

the words you twist to justify your position 
Am      F                         C

# Verse 1

Am                                  F            G
Do you spend your days counting the hours you're awake?

Am                                  F            G
And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same

Am                                  F            G
There's a burden you've been bearing in spite of all your prayers

Am                                  
There's a light turned off inside your heart

F                G
Can you remember what it's like to care?

E                         F                G
Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can't breathe

# Chorus

Am       
So give me the drug, keep me alive

         F
Give me what's left of my life

              C   G
Don't let me go, whooaa

          Am                  
Pull this plug, let me breathe

       F     
On my own, I'm finally free

              C      G
Don't let me go, whooaa

# Verse 2

Am                                  F            G
The trail of crumbs you left somehow got lost along the way

Am                                  F            G
If you never meant to leave then you only had to stay

Am                                  F            G
But the memories that haunt us are cherished just the same

Am                                  F            G
As the ones that bring us closer to the sky, no matter how grey

E                         F                G
And yet I fall, through these clouds, reaching, screaming

This grip loosens but it never breaks

We carry nothing but a name you will forsake

Your words are always there to break my fall

In them I find the comfort to see through it all

Guide me through unchartered waters

Before we lose our way again

Will you be my compass until forever?

Until forever ends!?

Verse

Dm                               Gm
In fields where nothing grew but weeds,
                       F
I found a flower at my feet,
        C           G
Bending there in my direction,
Dm                          Gm
I wrapped a hand around its stem,
                              F
I pulled until the roots gave in,
        C                   G
Finding there what I'd been missing,


Pre Chorus

A#
But I know...
     Dm           F                  Gm
So I tell myself, I tell myself it's wrong.
          Dm                 F              Gm
There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
           A#               Am7    G
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.


Chorus

               Dm  
All because of you,
                   F
I haven't slept in so long.
            C                        Gm
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
                Dm                       F
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
                 C
I'll follow your voice,
                Gm
All you have to do is shout it out.

Inside my hands these petals browned,
                        F
Dried up, fallen to the ground
       C               G
But it was already too late now.
Dm                              Gm
I pushed my fingers through the earth,
                            F
Returned this flower to the dirt,
            C              G
So it could live. I walked away now.

Pre Chorus

Gm
But I know...
Dm                F                      Gm
Not a day goes by that I don't feel this burn.

There's a point we pass from which we can't return.

The kind that bring you home,

When home becomes a strange place.

Am                                  G
Are there no fighters left here any more?
Am                                       G
Are we the generation we've been waiting for?
          Dm
Or are we patiently burning
        Em    Am               G
Waiting to be saved?
Am                                      G
Our heroes and icons have mellowed with age
Am                                 G
Following rules that they once disobeyed
Dm
They're now being led
                  Em       Am
When they used to lead the way

       F                C
Do you still believe in all the things
     G               Em
that you stood by before?
        F                 C
Are you out there on the front lines

Or at home keeping score?
       F              C            G                     Am
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
             F                          G
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Am                                                G
They laid out the blueprints, they poured down a base
Am                               G
Concrete solutions to slow our decay
Dm
And when they are gone
                     Em         Am             G
Who the f*ck's gonna take their place?
Am                                 G
Will it be the cynics, the critics galore?
Am                                 G
Cliche apathetic passed out on the floor
Dm                                   Em    Am
The trusting complicit who collectively ignore

Do you still believe in all the things

Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Am
Don't you remember when you were young
Am                                 Dm
And you wanted to set the world on fire?
               Em              Am
Somewhere deep down, I know you do
Am
And don't you remember when we were young
Am                                Dm
And we wanted to set the world on fire?
               Em             Am
Because I still am and I still do
        G                  F
Make no mistake we are not afraid
            C
To bear the burden of repeating
             Am
What they're thinking anyway
                G                    F
Let's raise the stakes on the bet we made
         C
Let's decide to be the architects
                   Am                G
The masters of our fate

       F                C
Do you still believe in all the things
     G               Em
that you stood by before?
    F           C
And after everything we've seen here
G          Am           G
Maybe even more
       F                  C        G               Am
And I know we're not the only ones we were not the first
             F                             G              Am
Unapologetically we'll stand behind each word

Endgame

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 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

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

A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song

to remind yourself that you forgot

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.
