Sleep don't visit, so I choke on sun And the days blur into one And the backs of my eyes hum with things I've never done  Sheets are swaying from an old clothesline Like a row of captured ghosts over old dead grass Was never much but we made the most Welcome home  Ships are launching from my chest Some have names but most do not If you find one, please let me know what piece I've lost  Heal the scars from off my back I don't need them anymore

Homesick

G                                      D
I fell asleep in a chair by the fireplace
C                          
And I woke up in the kitchen sink
G                                         D
With an umbrella full of holes atop my head and
G                                            C
I fell asleep on the table with your picture in hand
                      C
And I woke up in the cupboard
G                                      D
With some scrapes on my arms and a mouthful of hell


Em                                                   
Chains are rattling in the attic again
C
And the (?) nests in the windowsill
G
And dust had settled over everything
D
And the ceiling fan still cuts a lazy circle


Em
Got a picture on the mantlepiece
C
Of the way that I thought that we'd end up
G
But it shares no resemblance to that
D
Yeah, that shares no resemblance to that


G                                                         D
I tore the dreams from my head and tossed them in the flames
C
And the smoke smelled like my past
G                                                      D
And it stung my eyes, but I was too stubborn to blink and
G                                         C
I slept inside the piano 'til the rain was gone
C
And I woke up when I saw the sun
G                                                  D
 wiped the sleep from my eyes, yeah I knew my time had come

C                     D                    Em
We're all still a part of everything that we were
C                     D                    Em
And we'll all float along with everything ,And in turn, 
C                     D                    Em
we'll all fall apart with everything, We'll learn 
C                     D                    Em
just what things are like outside our heads


C        D            Em
And I hear them singing
C         D        Em
I hear my name
C        D   G     Em
I feel you tug my skin
C         D       G
And I was happy to fade

F                  C                G         Am
we were tight knit boys brothers in more than name
          F        C                    G      C
you would kill for me and knew that I'd do the same
       F      C                   G    Am
and it cut me sharp hearing you'd gone away
               F      C
but everything goes away
                G      C
yeah everything goes away
              F               C
but I'm gonna be here 'til I'm nothing
                 G
but bones in the ground

      Am             C
I was there when you restless

left in the dead of night
      Am                          C
I was there when three months later
         F                                   G
you were standing in the door all beaten and tired

and I stepped aside


F C G Am
Oh...

Oh...

so quiet down


C G Am Em F C G

        C
we were opposites at birth
      G
I was steady as a hammer
       Am                                     Em
no one worried cause they knew just where I'd be
         F
and they said you were the crooked kind
               C
that you would never have no words
                    G
but you were always gold to me
C
back when we were kids
   G
we swore we knew the future
            Am                                    Em
and how our words would take us halfway round the world
      F
but I never left this town
        C
and you never saw New York
                 G
and we ain't ever crossed the sea
         Am                C
but I am fine with where I am now
     F                C          G
this home is home and all that I need
        Am                C
but for you this place is shame
        F                                    G
you can blame me when there's no one left to blame

oh I don't mind

     F      C                     G            Am
well all my life I've never known where you've been
           F        C
there were holes in you
                G         C
the kind that I could not mend
      F         C
and I heard you say
               G         Am
right when you left that day
                F    C
does everything go away
                G     C
yeah everything goes away

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me

VERSE 1:   

C#m          E       B      A                     C#m   E    B   A 
I’m going away to be alone I’m coming back with answers
C#m           E            B    A            C#m   E   B   A
Don’t try to call my telephone it’s disconnected
C#m           E          B       A               C#m   E   B   A
And I don’t know where I’m going but can you guide me
C#m              E        B        A              C#m   E   B   A
But if I find love where I’m going will it survive me


PRE-CHORUS 1:

C#m            B   A                         C#m         A   B
‘Cause in your own space you’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not affected
C#m         B   A                           C#m         A   B
And in your own time you’re still attracted but in your own life


CHORUS:

A                                 C#m            B
This heart attack I’ve gotta get away not coming back
A                                 C#m                     B
I want some downtime so call me when you can and I’ll be fine


VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time


{CHORUS x2}


Sometimes if we don’t go sometimes you don’t know
You don’t go I don’t go I don’t go you don’t go

C#5  B5  A5                      C#5  A5  B5
            I’ve got your back              but you don’t got mine
C#5  E5  A5                    C#5  A5  B5
            This heart attack              then I’m feeling fine


CHORUS x2

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change



[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A

 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                   A
(We don't even know, know, know, know, know)




[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

(Think that we'd be alright)

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine


[Chorus]

 N.C.                     D
(Oh)Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                  A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why

(But we don't even know why)

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm

Situations

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
