Sorry, I haven't worked out the picking in the middle - I'm working on it! Here's the chords for now!


C               Em
Waiting for you baby

Through the coldest days
                               C
Huddled in the backseat of the van

And I know a girl who
           Em
would wait until it's dark
                              C
When she sings the heavens part
                Em
They part-o~

         D           G     C          Em
And i held my ground
             D                          G          C
When I heard those sounds
                  Em
Coming out
          D                     G
And I must have cried
             C                       Em
When I held those hands
      D                                      G
So do you know what I mean

  Em
I love your snaggeltooth

And baby don't you know that
  Em
I love those pigeon toes
                                                    C

Rub me on my side tonight

The reason that I'm hanging on

Won't you let it be

Lying in my bed, the unfamiliar sheets

First Time

[Verse 1]
…G                              C
I miss you more than you could know
G                         C
I watch the grass on the back lawn grow
G                               C
And I will not allow the winds of change to blow
D                          G    D       C
And I hope you decide to come back home

[Chorus]
D                       *C
Cause this heavy heart, oh how it’s yearned
C                                                          
I’ve been alone, for too long, 
                            G
when are you coming home my love? My love.

[Verse 2]
G                               C
You reach out for me in the night
G                                C
And an errant finger pokes me in the eye
G                                       C
And I leave your contact lenses on the bedside table
D                               G       D       C
And I’m hoping you’ll decide to come back home

[Chorus]
D                       *C
Cause this heavy heart, oh how it’s yearned
C                             
Cause I’ve been alone, for too long, 
                            G
when are you coming home my love? My love.

[Bridge]
C                              
Ah you, went running, 
        G                 D  
with my heart and it’s a long, long , long way back
C  
And this right here,

when are you coming home my love? My love.

Winds Of Change

C    Dm              F
 She don't like small places
          C
Give her highways and byways
     Dm                    F
And don't get stuck in her head
C     Dm           F            
  And it's been so long
    C           Dm                        F
And I will read into everything you don't say
All of your silent ways

       C        Dm        F
I'm a dog lying down on a warm bit of pavement
C                        Dm           F
Checking this collar you see what the name is
C
Think that it's worth it?
        Dm
Well, I hope that you're right

You're falling asleep on the red eye tonight
                                 C Dm  F  
And you know that you're looking well
                                       C                Dm  F
Won't you come through my door asking "How was your day?"
                               C Dm F
Well you know that I'm still a dog
        C
And I'm trusting my nose
        Dm               F
Will it show me the way?

C    Dm                     F
 I'm glad that you're still here
          C
Won't you hold up a candle?
    Dm               F
I'm stumbling in the dark
C    Dm            F
 And when I needed hope
  C                     Dm                    F
I remind myself that at least I got one thing right
It will always be right

      C                   Dm 
I'm a dog lying down on a warm bit of pavement
F
Checking this collar you see what the name is
C
Think that it's worth it?
        Dm 
Well, I hope that you're right
       F
You're falling asleep on the red eye tonight

Won't you get out while you can?

Won't you cover your eyes
          Dm               F
If you're tired of seeing?

Won't you get out while you can?
Try saving yourself

Great Summer

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#
I'm going where the people know my name

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days

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.

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

when you get yourself depressed

because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

repeats.
