Growing up in houses just two minutes away from each other in Swords, a working class town near Dublin airport, Steve and Mark met aged eight, when they were the only boys in the school choir. Skip forward six years and they recruited Vinny,  also situated a stones throw away and together set about forming the first of myriad bands. The line-up for Kodaline was recently completed by the addition of bassist Jason Boland. The band's name, incidentally, means absolutely nothing for the moment they wanted something they could take ownership of. 

(Am)                                  (F)   
How many nights do you lie dreaming
(Am)                                                (F)
I'm counting the days since you went away
(Am)                                         (F)
When I lost my heart, life lost all meaning
(Am)                                    (F)
What I would give to see you again

(F)            (Am)      (F)
I'll pray for you
(F)                   (Am)
Do you pray for me?
(F)            (Am)
I'll pray for you

(Am)                                                   (F)
And you slipped away from me without talking
The look in your eye was stronger than this
(F)                                               (C)         (E)
And I drink alone to stop me from weeping
(F)                                             (C)     
What's left of my heart is forever yours
(E)
Forever yours

I'll pray for you
Do you pray for me?
I'll pray for you

I know I know I know I know

Pray

Verse 1:

C        C/B           Am     
  Broken bottles in the hotel lobby
F          C                E7              Am      G   F
  Seems to me like I'm just scared of never feeling it again
    C        E7         Am       G      F
I know it's crazy to believe in silly things
                G
It's not that easy



Verse 2:

C              C/B                Am     
  I remember it now, it takes me back to when it all first started
F             C            E7                Am   G       F
  But I only got myself to blame for it, and I accept that now
      C      E7            Am      G      F
It's time to let it go, go out and start again
                   G
But it's not that easy



Chorus:

But I've got        
F      C          E7               Am      G   
 high hopes, it takes me back to when we started
F      C              E7              Am      G 
 High hopes, when you   let it go, go out and start again
F     C      E7        Am       G       F
 High hopes,   when it all comes to an end

  And in my dreams, I meet the ghosts of all the people who've come and gone
F         C                   E7                   Am        G       F
  Memories, they seem to show up so quick but they leave you far too soon
    C             E7             Am     G      F
Naive, I was just staring at the barrel of the gun
            G
And I do believe that


Chorus:

But I've got        
F      C          E7               Am      G

High Hopes

A
We never had that much to do
                                     D
So we'd just lay around in someone's house
  E
Someday I'll have it all again
                   A
Just like way back when


A
Back then we'd sleep until the afternoon
                             D
Then we'd just get up and go outside
       E
Open a window, let the breeze blow in,
               A
Forget everything


    D                  A                   E           D
Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you
                         A                  E            D
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working
                  A
I hope that I can say
                     E      STOP
When all my days are done
                             A
We were just having fun


A
Well we'd go drinking in the afternoon
                                D
Lie out on the grass, and fall asleep
           E                  
Oh will I ever see that girl again?
                       A
The girl from way back when


A
Yea, we used to share a cigarette
                                 D
And t'row together everything we had
             E
And then go driving in my parents' car
                     A
We never strayed too far



       D                  A                   E           D
Oh yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you
                         A                  E            D
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working
                  A
I hope that I can say
                     E      STOP
When all my days are done
                 A
That I had my fun

D A E A E D

D                  A                E        E7
Those will be the days that I had my fun
    D                 A
Yea, time can move so fast
     E                E7      E
Some things are made to last
          D                A
Here's to you, my dear old friend
        E
From way back when


    D                  A                   E           D
Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you
                         A                  E            D
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working
                  A
I hope that I can say
                     E      STOP
When all my days are done
                     A
That I had my fun

Way Back When

C
I still hear the sound of that runaway train
Both in my heart is like love as refrain
      F
But I know in my heart I can never go back
      C
To the way that we were on that runaway track

  C
I see in my soul and I know youre a lie
You told me I lose control
           F
Oh I didnt know
                 C
So just leave me alone
             
             Am-F    C
But why do I feel so old?
           Am-F     C
Cause Im still so young

           Am

It all comes down to you

    C
You see it
But then you do it
              F     C
And youre so alone tonight

     C
This heartbreak
Only choosing Gods word to save me
          F
Love is a battle oh oh oh
          C
Everybody cries

            Am          
Yea, but it all comes down to
        F
When it all comes down to
   C
It all comes down to

   Am
It all comes down to
   F                 C

              C
And if you're wondering why
The position in my soul
Now I feel so alone
                F
Like Im losing control
                C
But you're still young, oh yea

             Am-F    C
But why do I feel so old?
            Am-F     C

C

      Am         C/B            C
I can remember the good 'ol days
              F                   C
Where you and me we used to hide away
           F                         C                      G *
Where the stars were shining or the sun was blinding our eyes

Yea you filled up my glass
        F                        C
With promises that could never last
        F                  C                       G *
But I still find pieces of you in the back of my mind...

               F           
And all of the things that we once said;
               C                     G
Are not in my heart they're in my head
          F      
That was time to say goodbye

Over time our wires crossed

When you changed and the truth got lost

You were a moment in life that comes and goes

A riddle a rhyme that no one knows

A change of the heart a twist of fate

Couldn't fix it it's too late

 I wanna travel the world but I, I just can't do it alone
                                 F
 So I'm just waiting on fate to come...

 Walking on sand

 Digging in caves to find the treasures of the land

 And if we find gold
                            C
 Well, we'll just throw it away

 We can write stories bout the journeys that we made

 We could be big in Japan

 They said they'll keep me here

Brand New Day

In A Perfect World

E
Running through the heat heart beat
               C#m7
You shine like silver in the sunlight
                     E
You light up my cold heart

It feels right in the sun
E
We're running round like love is what we found and
C#m7
Nothing else could matter in our life
    E
But wait, but wait, but wait
                   F#m
The sun will stop shining soon
    A                   E       B
And you'll be dark in my life
F#m                 A         E        B
It's as simple as a change of heart
  C#m        A               E         B
A love like this won't last forever
              C#m        A               E         B
I know that a love like this won't last forever

But I, I don't mind, I don't mind at all

Step into the night life
It grows dark but you don't mind
Hiding in the back streets, yeah, you'll never notice me
All that I was thinking about was cleaning up my conscience

I got lost in the memory as it shakes up the corners of my heart
Was it my mistake?

Or maybe it was just as simple as a change in your heart
Mmm, just as simple as a change in your heart

A love like this won't last forever
I know that a love like this won't last forever
A love like this
A love like this
A love like this
A love like this
A love like this
Wont last forever

When you starting to forget just who you are

And they told you it was written in the stars

Yhea.. that's just the way it is;
Am             F               C
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live

In a world that changes every day
It's easy to get lost along the way
In a world that's never as it seems
Where people try buy and sell their dreams
Where people try buy and sell their dreams

Yhea.. that's just the way it goes;          |
Maybe you'll die young before you're old     |

that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york

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

(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

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

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

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

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.
