The people thought they were just being rewarded

For treating others as they like to be treated

Now we can swim any day in november

VERSE

Bm
I was waiting for a cross-town train in the
E                                 Bm
london underground when it struck me
Bm 
that I've been waiting since birth to find a
E                                      Bm
love that would look and sound like a movie
Bm
so I changed my plans I rented a camera and
E                       Bm
a van and then I called you
Bm                      E
"I need you to pretend that we are in love
E                      Bm
again." and you agreed too



CHORUS
D                           Bm
I want so badly to believe that "there is truth,
Bm             E
that love is real"
D                         Bm
and I want life in every word to the extent
Bm             E
that it's absurd


Inst: Bm E (repeated)


Same thing for the rest of the song.

In my finest suit, like a perfect gentleman

I'll be the fire escape

That's bolted to the ancient brick

That save you if you start drowning

In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink

Buttoned and zipped straight to the throat

Start strumming C

C            F
I take a breath
C                                G
And hold the air until there's nothing left
C              F
I'm feeling green

Like teenage lovers between the sheets

As the landing gear retract for flight

My heads a balloon

Inflating with the altitude

Slow fade into the ocean's arms
C                                     F
And from here they can't see me stare
F                             C
The stale taste of recycled air

Intro 1x

Recycled Air 

F                    Am
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles in our 
Gm                         Bb                   C           F
eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
                    Am
And I have to speculate that God himself did 
Gm                         Bb                 Bb7M             F
make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay
                             Am
True, it might seem like a stretch but it's thoughts like this that 
Gm                                  Bb           C               F
catch my troubled head when you're away and I am missing you to death
                              Am
When you are out there on the road for several weeks of 
Gm                              Bb            Bb7M
shows and when you scan the radio I hope this song will guide you home

CHORUS
F                            C
They will see us waving from such great heights
     Bb                Bb7M
Come down now, they'll say
    F                             C
But everything looks perfect from far away
     Bb                  Bb7M
Come down now, but we'll stay

F                     Am
I've tried my best to leave this all on your 
    Gm                             Bb           C
machine but the persistent beat it sounded thin upon listening
    F                     Am
And that frankly will not fly, You'll hear the shrillest
Gm                                         Bb
highs and the lowest lows with the windows down
             Bb7M
When this is guiding you home

Such Great Heights

# INTRO: Alternate between D & G, use mostly D (When the single ding is hit in the song you can pick the second string then strike the chord)

              D                    G               D
I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water, 
                 G             D
And pictures of you and i'm not coming out
        G             D      G
Until this is all over
          D                 G                 D
And i'm looking through the glass where the light bends
          G
At the cracks
           D                          G       D
And i'm screaming at the top of my lungs pretending 
               G       Em
The echoes belong to someone
  Em              D
Someone i used to know
        Em                                     D
And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
 D D  D  G
Ba ba ba ba...

           D                    G
I wanted to walk through the empty streets
                 D                   G
And feel something constant under my feet,
             D               G
But all the news reports recommended that
             D       G
I stay indoors
            D                     G
Because the air outside will make our cells
 D                     G              D
Divide at an alarming rate until our shells
                G             D        G            
Simply cannot hold all our insides in,
                       Em                    
And that's when we'll explode
                         D
(and it won't be a pretty sight)
Em                                              D
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
 D D  D  G
Ba ba ba ba...
     D                   D              Em           D
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
 D D  D  G
Ba ba ba ba...
 D                      D                Em          D
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go

Ba ba ba ba...
D                      D                 Em          D

This Place Is A Prison

Give Up

[[Whole Song]]

C Am F G

Last week I had the strangest dream where
Everything was exactly how it seemed 
Where there was never any mystery of who shot John F. Kennedy 
It was just a man with something to prove 
Slightly bored and severly confused 
He steadied his rifle with his target in the center 
And became famous on that day in november 

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in 

Again last night I had that strange dream 
Where everything was exactly how it seemed 
No concerns about the world getting warmer 
People thought that they were just being rewarded 
For treating others as they'd like to be treated 
For obeying stop signs and curing diseases 
For mailing letters with the address of the sender 
Now we can swim any day in november 

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in

Sleeping In

C            Em
We drained every night
         C         Em       
In the lower East Side
           C                 Em             C        Em                                       
And you failed to catch the train back to Queens
         C          Em         
So you came to my room
               C                        Em                                        
We did some things that we knew not to do
        C           Em            C            Em
In the glow of the nights golden hue 


Chorus

              F                G
You've got a tattered line of string
             Am             C
That you've tied 'round everything
           F                G
That you want to call your own
        Am              C 
But it never seems to hold


Verse II

         C       Em
When we woke we agreed
        C               Em
That we would not ever speak
          C        Em                 C       Em
Of this night to anyone that we both knew
                C             Em
And you said, "Every time we kiss
        C                       Em               
I felt something that could not exist"
         C                Em                   C       Em
And I confessed that I thought that I felt it too


Chorus

                F               G
You've got a tattered line of string
            Am            C
That you've tied 'round everything
                F                        Em
That you want to call your own
         G              C
But it never seems to hold

Cuando eras de esta altura, éste

¿quién fue quien fuego te llevó?

¿Qué, alguien me nombró?

  Oh, yo sólo lazo el sol
          A#                    C
De nada, para estirar tu diversión

Brisa yo hago soplar, de nada, 
   A#           C
y así tus velas elevar

Am        F            C
  Yo sólo sé decir de nada,

por las islas que traje del mar
              F                  C
No ruegues jamás, nunca más, de nada
         E7                     Am
¡Ha! Genial es mi manera de servir, 
    F
de nada,

de nada

[Parte Rap]
C
De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

Por el mundo especial que doy

No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)

De nada hablaré, que ya me voy

Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)

Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat

Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

You were staying out all night and I had enough

Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G

       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
