Intro: C#m, B

C#m
  The gasoline is mixing with the oxygen
B
  In this carousel, the silence is so surreal
C#m
  I've been misled through empty streets to the
B
Heart that never beats of a body that I can't keep

[Verse 1]

C#m                                    A         B
  We're blessed with these horrors for highways
           C#m                                      A
This city turns, no longer content to just brush shoulders
B         F#m  E   C#m
  Have we lost our touch?

[Break 1]

C#m
  A light goes on

We throw our blankets aside

It's been hours now and we still know nothing
    B                  C#m
The scars just don't heal the same, when we collide

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                                 A  
  I'd never say that we step to the other side 
   B                              
To keep us from brushing shoulders
C#m                                A                    B
  But it's collisions we need to remind us that we're alive

[Chorus]

A                        B
  I'd never say that you make me sick, but you're
C#m
Turning all the questions to cancers
A                      B
  Someone call in the emergency and we'll 
C#m
Peel back the dressings so we can see
A                             B
  The kind of things that the surgeons see
         C#m                          G#m
When the blood work won't give us the answers
A                              B                     C#m
  They'll never tell us, cause they don't know whats
C#m          A  B 
killing us

[Break 2]

C#m                                                     
  My heart's at a million miles an hour as we 
              C/G#
Brace for the impact, it makes time stand still
C#m                                             
  Forcing momentum into a moment so for a
       C/G#
Split second, I see your face
C#m
  In between all the broken glass hanging like a mobile
C/G#
This is a picture we'll never quite forget

[Bridge]

C#m
  The surgeons pick, they pick at my body 
  
Their fingers dance, they dance all around me
C#m
  The surgeons pick, they pick at my body 
E                                      G#m
  Their fingers dance, they dance all around me
C#m
  Hold still while they pick at my body 
E                                      G#m
  Their fingers dance, they dance all around me
A
  Hold still while they pick at my body
B         C#m             (G#m)
  They'll dance all around me

[Build]

A                            B      C#m    G#m
  Breathe your anesthetic words to slow us down.
A                                    B
  Tear back the skin to find, to chase a pulse back home.

[Chorus]

This Ain't No Place For Animals

[Intro]

Em - C - Em - D - Em



Em
I wonder, can you daydream at night?
C                     D
Lying awake, I've had too much time.
Em
I'm watching picture shows in the shadows
                      C
Dance for the crowd tonight.
     D                               C
Imagination is such a vivid place to hide, 
                  D
While stars watch over you.


               Em
Through silent homes
                         D
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
                      C
The way I've walked before,
               D                                  Em
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.
                         D
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
C                                        D                      Em
I promised not to wake you, so I'll walk light, just so you can hear,


                                         C
The rats in the roof and termites in the ceiling.
           D                                 Em
We'll hear everything except what we need to hear.
                                       C
Sleeplessness is for the restless, and I'm just fine,
        D                    C              D
Left to wander, aimless in unconsciousness.


Em              D                               C
There's spiders crawling from the corners of my eyes.
                            D                                    Em
Let them weave their little webs to snatch the sunlight from the lens.
                   D                                  C
I'm staring at the ceiling 'cause I'm fed up with the sight.
                         D                              C
Weigh my eyelids back to sleep, sealed by silken silver threads,
                  D
While stars watch over you.


               Em
Through silent homes
                         D
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
                      C
The way I've walked before,
               D                                  Em
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.
                         D
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
C                          D
Cast the sheep out of your mind,
                                   Em
Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight.


Em                          D                         C
I stumble in and I stumble out of unfamiliar rooms in foreign houses,
    D
But I'm at home, 
Em                          D
Now a ghost that has left behind his sheets,
              C     D                                        C
Unrequited, until I wake up somewhere I know that I've never been.
               D                Em
I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you.
               D                C
I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you.
                    D                Em
And I'll walk while stars watch over you.
                    D                C
And I'll walk while stars watch over you.



               Em
Through silent homes
                         D
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
                      C
The way I've walked before,
               D                                  Em
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.
                         D
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
                      C
The way I've walked before,
               D                                  Em
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls.
                        D
The lights are out but I walk these halls,
C                          D
Cast the sheep out of your mind,
                                   C
Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight.

Lion Skin

Intro : A 

Bm
I wade through the earth,
          D                F#m
Sowing my own, bound up in discords
              G
Spread in the stones,

Planting deep into ready fears.
Em            D
Soak in these heavy rains,
                F#m                      G
Break from your chrysalis beneath the clay.

Though I left you behind,
Bm                 D       
I'm all the while, wanting, to make my way home.
                  Em        G                   A  Bb B
All the while, watching, to see just how you've grown.


              Bm              D
I'm the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
     Em                         G
With other sides and deeper shades.
                Bm            D
I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction.
        Em                   G
I'm the tightness in your chest.
        A    Bm
I could ruin you.



I am the horizon, the sinking sun,
                    Em            G                  Bm
I'm the buried, the believer, the tomorrow that will come.
    Em            Bm
The tomorrow that will come.


              Bm              D
I'm the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
     Em                         G
With other sides and deeper shades.
                Bm            D
I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction.
        Em                   G
I'm the tightness in your chest.
        A    Bm
I could ruin you.

              F#  
I could ruin you.


Bm
Convict me of the devil in the details,
F#                            G
Of these crimes; oh so meticulous were we,
            Em
Of passion; I'll plead guilty.
F#
I'll plead guilty to every taken chance.


      Bm  B        Bm               D
Cause I am tangled machinery, I am wreckage.
                G
Distinguish the scars between;

The pleasure as you dragged me down,
       D                           Bm
Or the shards as they dragged you free.


                            Em           D
I am the knotted anchors below the ground,
                                 G
I'm the shadow that weighs you down.
        A                       G         A
I'm the ghost on your lips, the phantom's kiss,
                                     Bm
I'll be the page of your book that's missing.

Bm D Em G

With other sides and deeper shades.

The Sower

Ground Dweller

Gbm              A          Em           G
There's no more wind to be found in the sails
Gbm              A    Em              G
Hands full of fallen stars and comet tails

Gbm        A         Em                G
Rivers of sand unentwined through my hands
    Gbm               A              Em           G
To know what they've seen, well, my burden's all pale

I'll make an hourglass from my fingers

There's no respite to be found in the waves

Each rise and retreat will scrub the blood away

Intro
Am     F   Am     F   Dm      E     C  
Am     F   (pause) Am    C   Am  Dm      E     Am 
  
Verse
Am                                                  Em
It starts with a spark, a breath and a moment of still,
                                 Dm
A flicker, a glow, as the oxygen spills through a delta of spindles and stone,
E
Kindled from nothing in a whisper of smoke.

Am                                                  Em
And there a gift ignites; a cursive thought takes flight,
          
And there's a dancer, twisting in between the spines.
Dm                                                    E
Give her the breather's kiss, and watch her spirit lift,
                                                   F
She'll take over the stage, and she'll own the night.

Prechorus
                          Am           G                  F
Learning how to make a name from the words we can't keep in.
          C                   Am             G
Learning how to strike a flame, and draw hellfire from nothing.

Chorus
C                       Am            Em
I don't know where to begin, to make these words take shape,
C                 Am                  F          C
How to nurture a flame, and raise it to a blaze
                        Am         Em        C
That on the clearest night can be seen forever.
                        Am       F         C
I don't know where to begin, begin again.

Instrumental:
C      Am     Em   C x2 (second time end with Am)



Verse
Am                                                   Em
It's not enough, cause outside the night is still cold.
                                    Dm
The fog is collected on the sill.
                                          E
Feed the house to the fire to let out the light,
                                                    Am
Consumed and inspired, burned magnesium white.


It spills from the hearth.
                      Em                                    Dm
Take the curtains, the carpet to fuel the insatiable fire inside.
                                                          E
We'll set fire to a hill, so intense that it will be the brightest star

on this side of the sky.

Pre-chorus
                           Am          G                  F
Learning how to make a name from the words we can't keep in.
          C                  Am             G
Learning how to strike a flame, and draw hellfire from nothing.

Chorus
C                        Am             Em
I don't know where to begin, to make these words take shape,
C                  Am                F          C
How to nurture a flame, and raise it to a blaze
                         Am           Em         C
That on the clearest night can be seen forever.

I don't know where to begin, begin again.

A Fire On A Hill

C                        Em        D
Pry the darkness from my eyes.
C                Am         Bm
Divided, let the light seep in.
C                                   Em         D
Trees devoid of branches and hollow hives. 
C                    Am    Em    Bm
An endless black and empty beds.

C                  Am
It's not the same, something's changed.
Em                 D                    C
I never used to be able to see past the trees.
           Am      Em                         Bm             Em   Bm   Am(drums)
A thousand unfamiliars are lying thick on the air and I can't breathe.


C                             Am                Em           D
Is our skin to keep the world out or our bodies in?
C                      Am                           Em           G
This doesn't look like home; this doesn't look like home.
C                             Am/Bm               Em           D
Is our skin to keep the world out or our bodies in?
C                   Am                         Em           D
I'll tear apart the town then sleep, and sleep alone.

Em                                C               Am                           Em
If I'm a flame, I'm a forest fire speaking savage tongues as I emerge from the hills.
                   C
I am an avalanche, I am unchained.
Am                       C
I'm awoken, I'll unleash hell.
     Am                 Em                 D                  C   Am               Em    Bm
So I roar, pin back my ears, and stone by stone I'll tear it all, I'll tear it apart.

C                             Am                Em           D

(This doesn't look like home; this doesn't look like home.)
           D                  Em
I've lost faith, the forest's changed.
             G                  C
My stomach's empty, I'm feeling faint.
          D                   Em
I've lost heart, the forest's scarred.
          G                   C
I hear no birds, just TVs and cars.
          D                    Em
I've lost faith, the forest's changed.
             G                  C
My stomach's empty, I'm feeling faint.

          D                    Em
I've lost sight, the forest's died.
                 G                    C
The brambles are bare, and I'm hollow inside.

Each breath rattles like dice in my chest, each breath gambled, unwinding till death.

A Tale Of Outer Suburbia

(Before the he starts singing the first verse and it leads in with: B , Db)

Db                Ebm                  B
We get in our own way, tripping on our feet.
               Ebm                                   B
Filling up our heads too much with words too hard to speak.
              Ebm                           B
Drowning in a place, where the night cannot escape, commit ourselves into the
Ebm                       B
depths, exposed against a page.


B                   Db                      B                        Db
Caught in a phrase, an echo in our minds, a flash, a flood, and it's burned into our eyes.


B             Ebm     Db                  F#     B
  and I can't explain enough, and I won't let it last the night.
              Ebm      Db             Ebm
I'll show you that the image is still there unseen.
B            Ebm        Db           F#       B                          Ebm
It's darkest before the light, if we shut our eyes to see the things that we have
Db
lost inside the lines between.


B                      Db                           Ebm                           F#
  Between the black and white, where everything goes grey, and everything's unsaid,
                                   B                    Db                         Ebm
undone, and the negative bleeds away to reveal the memory that we've waited for so long for.
                        F#
The image shifts and the acid drips down the paper to the floor.


B                   Db                      B                        Db
Caught in a phrase, an echo in our minds, a flash, a flood, and it's burned into our eyes.


B             Ebm     Db                  F#     B
  and I can't explain enough, and I won't let it last the night.
              Ebm      Db             Ebm
I'll show you that the image is still there unseen.
B            Ebm        Db           F#       B                           Ebm
It's darkest before the light, if we shut our eyes to see the things that we have
Db
lost inside the lines between.


B                       Ebm        Db               B                 Ebm             Db
  We're so nervous to see if we've let too much in, if we, if we were out of focus or 
out of frame.
B                       Ebm         Db           B               Ebm          Db
I know it's a moment of truth, if a recollection reflects reality, or if it's lost forever.


B             Ebm     Db                  F#     B
  and I can't explain enough, and I won't let it last the night.
              Ebm      Db             Ebm
I'll show you that the image is still there unseen.
B            Ebm        Db           F#       B                          Ebm
It's darkest before the light, if we shut our eyes to see the things that we have
Db
lost inside the lines between.


B            Ebm     Db                  F#     B
 and I can't explain enough, and I won't let it last.

    Db             Ebm      B
The image is still there, unseen.

 Tassels streaming from our necks, we cast a wake amidst the wind.
                A            C#m               B
 We're the roamers to the road, barebacked, spirit and in mind.

 Our path a prison, bound to walk where countless feet already fell.

 We're domestic and we're discontent, and we're grinding our gums raw

I'll step up and scream it
I am dissonant

[Chorus]
G               Em
You're one of a thousand voices
Bm                D
  In my head that all just sound the same
G               Em
  If mine never made a difference
Bm                  D
  It won't make the meaning change
G                 Em
  You're one of a thousand voices
Bm                D
  In my head that all just sound the same
G           Em
  If I will make a change

  It's by my words and not my name

             Cadd9       G             Em
This is happiness, to be everything at once.
      Cadd9         G             Em
Be unblinded, be unlearned, be unbridled and unburned.
 

Cadd9     G     Em    D     x2


Cadd9        G                Em              D
Heavy on our heels, the rocky ground we leave behind.
        Cadd9              G                Em              D
Tassels streaming from our necks, we cast a wake amidst the wind.
          Cadd9          G                 Em            D
We're the roamers to the road, barebacked, spirit and in mind.
  Cadd9   G         Em
Oh, to be free like this.


             Cadd9       G             Em     D 
This is happiness, to be everything at once.
     Cadd9         G             Em            D 
Be unblinded, be unlearned, be unbridled and unburned.
Cadd9 G Em   D                          Cadd9 
This is happiness. I'm fearless and I'm free,
         G                 Em               D
With the open road and the world beneath my feet.

     Cadd9            G                     Em          D 
With splinters in our teeth, we're driven from our parallels,
           Cadd9            G                    Em           D
Our path a prison, bound to walk where countless feet already fell.
              Cadd9           G                 Em               D 
But there's a wildness in our heart, that we've forgotten in our march,
Cadd9     G         Em
All to be free like this.

Be unblinded, be unlearned, be unbridled and unburned.
Cadd9 G Em   D                          Cadd9 
This is happiness. I'm fearless and I'm free,

With the open road and the world beneath my feet.


      Cadd9             G                 Em            D     (G)
We're branded and we're burdened from the moment we are born.
      Cadd9              G                     Em                D     (G)
We're domestic and we're discontent, and we're grinding our gums raw
Cadd9       G                   Em   D     (G)
Forget your feet and where they fall,
Cadd9     G           Em     D     (G)
Lift your head, carry on.
Cadd9         G                   Em                 D      (G)
No fear, just faith, no bit, just break the path and let it lead you.
Cadd9      G                    Em             D           (G)
Unknown, unblind, run free, run wild and leave behind what holds you down.

Heavy on our heels, the rocky ground we leave behind.

This is happiness, to be everything at once.

G                           F                 C
    Everybody’s talking in words I don't understand
G                                    F              C
    You got to be the only one who knows just who I am
Em                                    F	
    You’re shining in the distance I hope I can make it through

Cause the only place that I want to be is right back home with you 


Verse 3:

I guess there's so much more I have to learn

But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn
        Am         F		                   C
You always give me somewhere, somewhere I can run

Chorus:

And IIIIIIIII'm running to you baby
G    Am	              F	           C

You Make It Real

G         Em		  
1) Almost heaven,   West Virginia,
2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.
	      G               D              C            G
     West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads


           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling 
 	       G                     D          D7    G
        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       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
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

King Creole

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

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
