G            C                 G                             C
I heard that you went out last night and you looked beautiful 
                            G
Just like a bat beneath the moonlight 
C            G         C
I stayed home took a Vicodin
G              C             Am
Sometimes it's all that I can do 
     C                 G        C     Am
when I think about the president 
Am      C              G         C Am  C  
How did he become the president? 

G      C         Am      C                 
And I stayed awake for a day or two,
G           C             Am             C
I thought about the world, drank gin and watched the news
G          C         Am          C         G    
And there are some things I'll never understand 
G     C               Am         C       G C   Am C
Why a country needs a God, and a woman needs a man 


F       C              F
And you never write me letters 
F       C             F
And you never sent my sweaters 
F            Am                     G
So I could stay warm when I was without you 
G                         G     C     Am  C  G  C  Am  C
Without you I don't sleep, Just dream 


G        C               Am        C
And I scratch these words into a black notebook 
G             C         Am            C
I wrote your name on top I knew you'd never look 
G      C    Am               C        
I tried my best to fight the atmosphere 
G             C             Am                C         F
To think the happy thoughts, that leave the phone lines clear 
F    C              Am            G    
I see Arizona stars from here but Peter Pan is miles away 


F       C              F
And you never write me letters 
F       C             F
And you never sent my sweaters 
F            Am                     G
So I could stay warm when I was without you 
G                        F
Without you I don't have
F               C                 Am
A place that's safe from all the monsters 
                G                   F
That hide in my head and sing me to sleep, sleep 
F                      Am
This is the last straw

                  F                                        
This is the last straw she said
                            C
And I won't wait for you forever 
                          Am      
While you run around like JFK
                                     G
You watched that poor girl waste the best years of her life
                           F
And I'll be damned if I am going out

I will not go out that way


C  Am  G  F 


F       C              F
And you never write me letters 
F       C             F
And you never sent my sweaters 
F            Am                 G
So I could stay warm when I was gone 
G                        
Without you I don't have 
F               C                 Am
A place that's safe from all the monsters 
                G                     F
That hide in my head and keep me 'til dawn 
F                     
I think, this is the last straw.

Last Straw

Am             G
She thinks I'm much too thin
F                  C
She asks me if I'm sick
          Am
What's a girl to do 
       G           F
With friends like this
Am            G
She lets me drive her car 
   F              C
So I can score an eighth
          Am
From the lesbians 
     G      F
Out west in Venice


Am G       F           C  
Oh,  California in the Summer

G     Am           F
F yeah, we can live like this


C           G            Am
But if you left it up to me
     G
Everyday would be 
    F    C     G
A holiday from real
C               G
We'd waste our weeks 
            Am
Beneath the sun
              G
We'd fry our brains 
             F       C       G
And say it's so much fun out here
               F   C 
But when it's all over
Am                  G            F

Am             G
I looked for work today
    F                C
I'm spilling out the door
         Am
Put my glasses on 
   G      F
So no one sees me
Am      G
I never thought that
       F              C
I'd be living on your floor
         Am
But the rents are high 
    G    F
And LA's easy


Am G       F           C  
Oh, it's a picture of perfection
Am G        F   
Ah, and the postcards gonna read
G     Am           F
F yeah we can live like this

We can live like this

Hey Madeline 
                   Am
You sure look fine 

You wore my favorite sweater
G
Being poor was never better
C
A safety buzz 
                             Am
Some cheap red wine (Some cheap red wine)
                        
Oh, the trouble we can get in 
G                          F
So let's screw this one up right


C           G            Am

Finally
                  F#m
I'm letting go of all my downer thoughts
                    Bm
In no time there'll be one less sad robot
              E
Looking for a chance to be something more than just metal

A
Now I'm going part time
        F#m
With a film projectionist
             Bm
And shes the vinyl queen

From my surfer dream
                E
She likes the beach boys more than radio metal

D
And she's so good
     Bm                E
But she's no good for me

Whats the matter?

You waited by the window

(You waited by the window)

I waited by the door

Miss delaney

Where's your boyfriend?

He isn't up in heaven
          E             F#m     D
So why treat him like hes dead?

A
It's not that everyday
                               F#m
Everyday is coming up with the green grass

But the time's passed
     Bm
When I think of you 
     E
Whenever I'm at dinner

A
Finally
                        F#m
I've found someone to dull this lonely scene
                    Bm       
I don't spend my nights searching 

For earthquakes

        E                              D
It's biblical how fucked my sleep can be

But she won't sleep with me

Like hes dead?

Whatcha sad for?

You waited by the window

I waited by the window

And I was kicking down your door

Everything In Transit 

Verse:

D#
I've got my things, I'm good to go
Gm
You met me at the terminal
Cm            G#                  D#   D#/D
Just one more plane ride and it's done.
D#
We stood like statues at the gate
Gm
Vacation's come and gone too late
Cm              G#
There's so much sun where I'm from
D#                  D#/D               D#                               
I had to give it away, had to give you away.
D#                           Gm    
And we spent four days on an island
                     Cm
At your family's old hotel.
             G#
Sometimes perfection can be,
D#                D#/D      
It can be perfect Hell,
G#
Perfect.


Chorus:

G#
Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
       D#
That I am not there
                                G#
I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this
                         D#
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised.
G#
Don't fly fast.  Oh, pilot can you help me
        D#
Can you make this last?  This plane is all I got
           G#
So keep it steady now, cos every inch you see is 
D#     D#/D    
Bruised

Verse:

I lace my Chucks I walk the aisle,
I take my pills, the babies cry.
All I hear 
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio
Now every word of every song
I've ever heard that made me want to stay
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio
And I, I am finally waking up.

Chorus

Bridge:

D#                     Gm
So read your books but stay out late
Cm
Some nights, some nights.
    D#                   Gm               Cm
And don't think that you can't stop by the bar.
    D#                 Gm                     Cm
You haven't shown your face here since the bad news.
    D#                   Gm
I'm here til close, with fingers crossed,
     G#                   A#                          
Each night cos your place isn't far.
    G#              D#
And hours pass, and hours pass.
G#
Yeah, Yeah

I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge
             Bb          Gm      F
Unraveling with every word
       Bb         Gm    F
With every word you say, make me believe
                     Bb   Gm        F
That I won't feel your tires on the street
                 Bb     Gm            F
As I'm finding the words... 
                     Bb    Gm   F
you're getting away
                    Bb Gm   F
I come undone, oh yes, I do
         Bb       Gm      F
Just think of all the thoughts wasted on you
                          Bb      Gm      F
And every word you say, say something sweet
                    Bb         Gm       F
Cause all I taste is blood between my teeth
                       Bb     Gm        F
As I'm finding the words... 
                      Bb Gm   F
you're getting away
                 Bb Gm   F

(Chorus  Bb F Gm  A  Bb)
Well I'm ready, I'm ready to drop
Oh, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't stop
I'm ready so don't stop, Keep pushing
I'm ready to fall, oh, I'm ready
I'm ready so don't call, I'm ready so don't call

I'm Ready

C#m    B              A        A
Oh my God, this hurts like hell
C#m        B
I had that dream again where
A              A
I was lost for good in outer space
C#m        B                A
Tell me, doctor, how to shake
C#m       B                A
A waking nightmare that is only
           B
Worse when I am sleeping


A        E
Kill the messenger
B
I swear it's not me
C#m
It's just someone I used to know
A          E                         B
And get to church cause you're a good girl
         C#
And he never told you that
A         E
And all I need from you
B
Could be the thing that
C#
Leaves us both up here forever
A         B                  C#m
I'm gonna send a little rain your way
A         B                     C# (Hold)
I'm gonna send a little rain...

C#m         B            A        A
It's not so easy, caving in
C#m         B              A
I walked by your apartment twice today
A
While you were gone at work
C#m         B          A        A
And all the colors got so down (Soaked In?)
C#m         B
It's not as cold out here
A                   B
But come quickly, I am losing feeling

A        E
Kill the messenger
B
I swear it's not me
C#m
It's just someone I used to know
A          E                         B
And get to church cause you're a good girl

I'm gonna send a little rain, send a little rain
A         B
I'm gonna send a little rain...

E            A
To pour down on you
E                   A
Rain that makes the flowers bloom
E                 A
Rain to leave you all alone
C#
That keeps eyelashes falling
E
And wishes washed away
A        E
Kill the messenger
B
I swear it's not me
C#m
It's just someone I used to know
A          E                         B

La La Lie


Verse 1:
Am        Em
This is morning
        G                D
That's when I spend the most time
F               C          G    D
Thinking 'bout what I've given up

Am          Em
This is a warning
          G                      D            
When you start the day just to close the curtains
          F            C         G     D
You're thinking about what I've given up


Chorus 1:
               F      Am
Where are you now?
          C                   D
As I'm swimming through the stereo 
       F              C         G
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
               F      Am
Where are you now?
         C           D
As I rearrange the songs again
      F               C         G
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
            F                  Am
But it was you I was thinking of
        F                 Am       Em     G     D
It was you I was thinking of

Verse 2:

I read your letter
The one you left when you broke into my house
I'm Retracing ever step you made
And you said you meant it
And there's a piece of me in every single
Second of every single day
             F                 A               G       D
But if it's true then tell me how it got this way

**Repeat Chorus 1**


Bridge 1:
                F(2) C(2) G(2)
I can't get to you
                F    C    G
I can't get to you
                F    C    G
I can't get to you, you, you


Chorus 2:
Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'll conduct a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I'm cutting through you track by track
I swear to God this mix could sink the sun
But it was you I was thinking of
It was you I was thinking of

Bridge 2:
And where are you now?
(And where are you now?)
And where are you now?
(And where are you now?)

Outro:
             F        Am       G
And this is my mixed tape for her
      F       Am    G    D                 F
It's like I wrote every note with my own fingers

The Mixed Tape

This riff plays throughout the song.
Haven't figured it out all the way yet but once I do 
I'll post it here.

D                     A
   I'm looking for a sign My spirit's faded 
D                       A
   She holds on like a vine Patterns in traffic 
D       Dm                  A                E
   They sound just like my heart racing the dark 


           D       A               D     A
In time to catch you No one should let you 
              D            A                    E
Go wandering off into the night You're not an orphan. 


D                        A
   I keep waiting for my breath To come back never 
D                           A
   So I've take what I have left Patterns in traffic 
D      Dm                 A                E
   The pulse just like my heart racing the dark 


           D       A               D     A
In time to catch you No one should let you 
              D            A                    E
Go wandering off into the night You're not an orphan. 
               D       A            D     A
Right there to catch you I won't forget you 
               D                A                   E
But now you're wandering to the night But you're no orphan. 

You're not an orphan 


D          A
   I never thought the day would come 
D          A 
   They tell me that you've finally run 
D          A                   E
   I guess you always said you would someday 

You're not an orphan 

D          A
   I never thought the day would come 
D          A 
   They tell me that you've finally run 
D          A                   E
   I guess you always said you would someday

Orphans

G         D        A      G
    I'll give you this confession
       D     A           G
I am taking you with me
                D                A         G
Where we can contemplate our chemistry
         D          A          G
And your eyes were lined with questions
         D                A      G
With the blood rushing to waste
                D             A             
To take this feeling with us to our graves, to our graves


G  D           A                    G  D
     I get the feeling we're so misdirected
              A                   G  D
I get the feeling we have lost control
              A                       G  D
Til then I'll turn you to the new religion
                A                 G       
We're dropping out into the so unknown, so unknown, yeah.

G         D          A     G
   And we won't wake up on Sunday 
       D        A          G
So I'm building us a church
             D                  A            G
Where we can sleep in, With the gods at work
        D            A        G
And our friends will write us letters

Drop Out - The So Unknown

The Glass Passenger 

In order to make it a bit easier to play I mute the 'g' string 
with my thumb on the Ab chords.

          Eb
You gotta swim
              Ab
Swim for your life
             Eb
Swim for the music 

That saves you
                                  Ab
When you're not so sure you'll survive

          Eb
You gotta swim
             Ab
Swim when it hurts
                   Eb
The whole world is watching 

You haven't come this far
                Ab
To fall off the earth

    Bb
The currents will pull you
               Ab
Away from your love

Just keep your head above


                                  
Eb
I found a tidal wave
Bb                      Ab
Begging to tear down the door
Eb
Memories like bullets
     Bb                 Ab
They fired at me from a gun
Eb         Bb
Cracking me open now
Eb
I swim for brighter days
Bb                        Ab
Despite of the absense of sun
Eb         Bb
Choking on salt water
Ab    Eb         Bb
  I'm not giving in


Eb      Ab
Swim
Eb    Ab

                                  
          Eb
You gotta swim
              Ab
Through nights that won't end
              Eb
Swim for your family

Your lovers your sisters
                   Ab
Your brothers and friends
          Eb
You gotta swim
                 Ab
For wars without cause
             Eb
Swim for the lost politicians
                               Ab
Who don't see their greed is a flaw
    Bb
The currents will pull us
              Ab
Away from our love

Just keep your head above

Eb    Ab


                                   
          Eb
You gotta swim
            Ab
Swim in the dark
                     Eb
There's an ocean to drift in
                                      Ab
Feel the tide shifting away from this war
               Eb
Yeah you gotta swim
                   Ab
Don't let yourself sink
                  Eb
Just follow the horizon
                                 Ab
I promise it's not as far as you think
Bb                                  Ab
Currents will drag us away from our love
                          Eb     Ab
Just keep your head above

G                Bm
There's a lot that I don't know
             A
There's a lot that I'm still learning
      G                Bm
When I think I'm letting go
             A
I find my body it's still burning
                G     Bm
And you hold me down
              A
And you got me living in the past
  A             G       Bm
Come on and pick me up
  Bm               A
Somebody clear the

wreckage from the blast



 G         D
Yeah I'm alive
 Bm               A
But I don't need a witness 
 G                 D
To know that I've survived 
 Bm                A
I'm not looking for forgiveness
 G              D
Yeah I just need life
      Bm                 
I'll be lying in the dark
  A                  G
As I search for the resolution


 G                Bm
And the bars are finally closed
         A
So I try living in the moment
 G                Bm
For the moment it just froze
          A
And I felt sick and so alone
                  G       Bm
I could hear the sound
          A
Of your voice still ringing in my ear
                 G     Bm
I'm going underground
        A
But you'll find me anywhere I fear  



 G         D
Yeah I'm alive
 Bm               A
But I don't need a witness

To know that I've survived 
 Bm                A
I'm not looking for forgiveness
 G              D
Yeah I just need life

I'll be lying in the dark
  A                  G
As I search for the resolution



The resolution
The resolution

 G   Bm   A
 
                  G   Bm   A
And you hold me down
Yeah you hold me down


 
 G         D
Yeah I'm alive
 Bm               A
But I don't need a witness

To know that I've survived

I'm not looking for forgiveness

Yeah I'm alive

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.

Chorus

Lazy Line Painter Jane

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#
