Jack Hody Johnson (born May 18, 1975 in North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii) is a singer-songwriter, accomplished professional surfer and filmmaker who has achieved critical and commercial success and a dedicated following since he first appeared on G. Love &amp; Special Sauce's album Philadelphonic. The release of his 2001 debut album, Brushfire Fairytales, further cemented his popularity and he has since released four more successful albums including 2003's On and On, 2005's In Between Dreams, 2008's Sleep Through the Static and 2010's To The Sea.

Jack Hody Johnson (Oahu, Hawaii, EE. UU. - 18 de mayo de 1975), conocido como Jack Johnson, es un músico estadounidense. El éxito comercial le llegó tras publicar su primer álbum Brushfire Fairytales.  Ha pasado de ser un cineasta que hacía películas de surf de 16 mm, a ser un reconocido cantante y compositor. Tras pasar la mayor parte de 2003 en la carretera apoyando su disco On and On, aminoró un poco la marcha en 2004 para darle la bienvenida a su recién nacido bebé, y ahora Johnson ya está listo para sacar su tercer trabajo, el más optimista hasta la fecha, In Between Dreams.

C                Em
I hope this old train breaks down
Am                  G
Then i could take a walk around
C                    Em
And, see what there is to see
Am                  G
And time is just a melody
C
All the people in the street
Em
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
Am                    G
I just roam through town
C
And though my windows got a view
Em
The frame im looking through
Am                              G
Seems to have no concern for me now

So for now

Refrão:
C      Em

Old train to breakdown
C    Em
Oh, please just

Let me please breakdown

C            Em
This engine screams out loud
Am              G
Sayin the beat gonna crawl westbound
C               Em
So i dont even make a sound
Am                               G
Cause its gunna sting me when i leave this town
C
All the people in the street
Em
That i'll never get to meet
   Am               G
If these tracks dont bend somehow
C
And i got no time

But i can't stop now
G      F        C
Let me break on down

C
But you cant stop nothing
Em
If you got no control
Am
Of the thoughts in your mind
G
That you kept in, you know
C
You dont know nothing
Em
But you dont need to know
Am
The wisdoms in the trees
G
Not the glass windows
C
You cant stop wishing
Em
If you dont let go
Am
But things that you find
G
And you lose, and you know
C
You keep on rolling
Em
Put the moment on hold
Am
The frames too bright
G
So put the blinds down low

C   Em
I need this
Am           G
Old train to breakdown
C    Em
Oh, please just
Am             G
Let me please breakdown
C   Em
I, need this
Am             G
Old train to breakdown
C    Em
Oh, please just
Am              G        C
Let me please breakdown

#same stuff for the rest

C               Em             
There's no combination of words
         Am                  G
I could put on the back of a postcard
F              C/E
No song that I could sing
    Dm            G
But I can try for your heart,
C   Em             Am               G
Our dreams and they are made out of real things
       F           C/E
Like a shoe box of photographs
     Dm          G
With sepia-toned loving

C           Em
Love is the answer
             Am                       G
At least for most of the questions in my heart, like
F          C/E 
Why are we here?
                Dm                    G
And where do we go? And how come it's so hard?
C               Em
It's not always easy and
          Am            G
Sometimes life can be deceiving
F             C/E                    Dm                 G
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together


F                 G
Mmmm, It's always better when we're together
F                      G
Yeah we'll look at the stars and we're together
F                 G
Well, it's always better when we're together
F            G
Yeah so much better when we're together


C Em Am G F C/E Dm G
C Em Am G F C/E Dm G 

                 C                  Em
And all of these moments just might find their way
        Am       G
Into my dreams tonight,
      F                    C/E
But I know that they’ll be gone
         Dm            G
When the morning light sings
           C          Em
And brings new things
     Am                G
For tomorrow night you see
     F               C/E
That they’ll be gone too,
         Dm               G
Too many things I have to do

                    C                       Em
But if all of these dreams might find their way
        Am         G
Into my day to day scene
       F           C/E
I'd be under the impression
      Dm             G
I was somewhere in between
          C             Em
With only two, just me and you,

            Am               G
Not so many things we got to do
   F                C/E
Or places we got to be
            Dm              G
We'll sit beneath the mango tree now


F                 G
Mmmm, It's always better when we're together
F                      G
Yeah we'll look at the stars and we're together
F                 G
Well, it's always better when we're together
F            G
Yeah so much better when we're together

C Em Am G F Em Dm G 
C Em Am G F Em Dm G 

Dm                 G
I believe in memories
              Dm               G
they look so, so pretty when I sleep
         Dm               G 
Hey now, and when I wake up,
            Dm                       G
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
              F         G
But there is not enough time,
             F               G
There is no, no song I could sing
                Dm             G
And there is no combination of words I could say
           F     G
but I will still tell you one thing
X
We're better together

Better Together

Intro: Am, Am7, G, G7, F, F7, C, C7
 
Am                  Am7 
Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing 
G               G7
You believed in superstitions 
F                F7      C

    Am                   Am7
The Lord knows that this world is cruel 
  G                      G7          
I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool 
         F               F7              C
Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you 
       E                             Am     Am7   Am   Am7 
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 
       E                               Am   Am7   Am   Am7  
Must I always be playing, playing your fool 
  Am                 Am7 
I sang your songs, I danced your dance 
  G                 G7
I gave your friends all a chance 
    F        
But putting up with them 
F7                 C            C7
Wasn't worth never having you 
Am                        Am7
Maybe you've been through this before 
         G                G7
But it's my first time so please ignore 
    F                    F7
The next few lines cause they're directed at you 
       E                             Am     Am7   Am   Am7 
Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 
       E                               Am   Am7   Am   Am7  
Must I always be playing, playing your fool 
C                   E                    F              
I keep playing your part but it's not my scene 
     F            G               F
Want this plot to twist I've had enough mystery 
C                    E                   F
You keep building it up then shooting me down 
        F       G         G              
But I'm already down just wait a minute

verse

C                     Em             
There's no combination of words
         Am                      G
I could put on the back of a postcard
F              C  
No song that I could sing
       Dm            G
But I can try for your heart,
C       Em                Am                 G 
our dreams, and they are made out of real things
        F               C
like a shoe box of photographs
          Dm         G
with sepia-toned loving
C              Em
Love is the answer
              Am                        G
at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
F             C                   Dm 
Why are we here? And where do we go?
                   G
And how come it's so hard?
C                 Em
It's not always easy and
            Am               G
sometimes life can be deceiving
F                    C                 Am                   G
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together


chorus
F                   C
Mmmm, It's always better when we're together
F                       C
Yeah we'll look at the stars and we're together
F                   C
Well, it's always better when we're together
F               G
Yeah so much better when we're together

# Verse 2 same as verse 1

Dm                 G
I believe in memories
              Dm                  G
they look so, so pretty when I sleep
         Dm               G 
Hey now, and when I wake up,
            Dm                       G
you look so pretty sleeping next to me
              F             G
But there is not enough time,
               F                G
There is no, no song I could sing
                 Dm               G
and there is no combination of words I could say
              F                  G
but I will still tell you one thing

We're Better together

Johnson: &quot;Do You Remember was one that for some reason just popped in my head all of a sudden. I was driving one day, and had this little riff going on in my head. After that, the song just wrote itself pretty quick. It's just a simple love song with some personal moments I wasn't afraid to share. Just kind of silly things like me locking my bike to my wife's - who wasn't even my girlfriend back then, but just this girl I was trying to get - so she couldn't ride off after class. It's just stuff I thought might make people laugh and feel good.

Intro: D,A,G,D,A

       D                           A
Do you remember when we first met? I sure do
            G                  D     A
It was some time in early September
               D                        A
Though you were lazy about it, you made me wait around
           G                         D    A
I was so crazy about you, I didn't mind


         D                            A
So I was late for class, I locked my bike to yours
            G                             D     A
It wasn't hard to find, you'd painted flowers on
           D                         A
Guess that I was afraid that if you rolled away
               G                            D   A
You might not roll back my direction real soon


Chorus:
                 A
Well, I was crazy about you then and now
            A                   G                   Em
The craziest thing of all, over ten years have gone by
        Em                   Em
And you're still mine, we're locked in time
     Em      A G F#m Em 
Let's rewind

  
          D                          A
Do you remember when we first moved in together?
       G                       D   A
The piano took up the living room
              D                        A            
You played me boogie-woogie I played you love songs
                  G                              D     A
You'd say we're playing house now you still say we are


             D                 A
We built our getaway up in a tree we found
            G                        D          A
We felt so far away though we were still in town
           D                       A
Now I remember watching that old tree burn down
            G                      D         A
I took a picture that I don't like to look at

                A
Well all these times they come and go
             A
And alone don't seem so long
       G                  Em
Over ten years have gone by
      Em                Em
We can't rewind, we're locked in time
       Em             A G F#m Em
But you're still mine
           D
Do you remember?

&quot;Breakdown&quot; is the 11th track off Jack Johnson's third album, In Between Dreams, which was released in March 2005 .

G           D/f#  em      d
I hope this old train breaks down
                 
Then I could take a walk around

middle part:

G             d C G
I wanna break on down
G             d C G
But I cant stop now

Lyrics

Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs

The Lord knows that this world is cruel
I ain't the Lord, I'm just a fool
and in love with somebody don't make them love you

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
Putting up with them wasn't worth ever having you

Maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
These next few lines because they're directed at you

I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool

I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this part to twist
I've had enough mystery
Keep building it up
Then shooting me down
But I'm already down

Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting

Well if I was in your position
I'd put down all my amuntintion
I'd wonder why it had taken me so long

But the lord knows that I'm not you
and if I was I wouldn't be so cruel
cause waitin' on love ain't so easy to do

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

Bridge:
C        C           E        E            F
 I keep playing your part but it&#8217;s not my scene

Want this plot to twist I&#8217;ve had enough mystery
C         C            E               E           F
 You keep building it up but then keep shooting me down

But I&#8217;m already down just wait a minute

3rd verse:
     Am          Am7               G               G7
Well if I was in your position I&#8217;d put down all my ammunition
    F                 F7          C     C7

    Am               Am7           G                   G7
But lord knows that im not you and if I was I wouldn&#8217;t be so cruel
      F                     F7         C     C7

Johnson: &quot;That's one I wrote while I was surfing. I was out longboarding in California. The sun had just set and the moon was rising so it was real nice. It was also summertime and warm, so I could stay out and surf for a while. I was alone, it was really calm and the wind was dead and it was a real magical night. The wind was nonexistent so you could hear things from really far away. And I could hear these kids who were laughing and skipping rocks on the beach. All their dads were there and it was kind of like dads' night out camping with the kids on the beach.

Johnson: &quot;It's related to the first record. The song Mud Football on that album was dedicated to Moe Lerner. He was a friend of our family that passed away while I was making Brushfire Fairytales. I started writing If I Could way back then because he'd meant a lot to a whole lot of people out on the North Shore. And before he passed away, he called around to everybody to let everyone know that he was going.

# This is just the main riff that's played pretty much all the way through the song.

Enjoy!

F
When your mind is a mess so is mine,
       Bb
I can't sleep cause it hurts when I think,
                      Gm
My thoughts aren't at peace with the plans that we make,
           Bb
chances we take they're not yours and not mine,
                       F
there's waves that can break all the words that we said,
                      Bb
and the words that we mean words can fall short,
                Gm
can't see the unseen 'cause the world is awake,
               Bb
for somebody's sake, now please close your eyes woman, 
                F
please get some sleep and know that if I knew-
all of the answers I would not hold them from you-
know all of the things that I'd know
                                      Gm
we told each other there is no other way

F
Well too much silence can be misleading
       Bb
You're drifting I can hear it in the way that you're breathing
   Gm
We don't really need to find reason
                   Bb
Cause out the same door that it came well it's leaving, it's leaving
F
Leaving like a day that?s done and part of a season
   Bb
Resolve is just a concept that's as dead as the leaves
       Gm
But at least we can sleep, it's all that we need
        Bb
When we wake we will find Our minds will be free 

         F
To go to sleep and know that if I knew-
all of the answers I would not hold them from you- 
know all of the things that I'd know
                                             Gm
'cause we told each other there is no other way

No Other Way

Two live versions were later released: Staple It Together - San Diego, CA on En Concert Staple It Together (Live from The Greek feat. Money Mark) on Better Together

Intro:
Am7  D6 x4

Am7  
Its really
       D6
Too bad
           Am7                 D6
He became a prisoner of his own past
            Am7
He stabbed the moment in the back
     D6                                             
With the round thumbtack
         Am7                  D6
That held up the list of things he gotta do
Am7
Its really,
               D6       #  Repeat throughout song 
No good
He's moving on before he understood
He shot the future in the foot with every step he took
From the places that he's been cause he forgot to look

Better staple it together and call it bad weather
Staple it together and call it bad weather X3
Mm hmm

Well I guess you could say
That he dont even know where to begin
Cause he looked both ways but he was so afraid
Digging deep into the ditch
With every chance he missed
And the mess he made
Cause hate is such a strong word
And every brick he laid
A mistake they say
That his walls are getting taller
His world is getting smaller

Better staple it together and call it bad weather
Staple it together and call it bad weather X3
Mm hmm

Whoo

Its really
Too bad
He became a prisoner of his own past
He stabbed a moment in the back
With the round thumbtack
That held up the list of things he gotta do
Its really,
No good
Hes moving on before he understood
He shot the future in the foot with every step he took
From the places that he's been cause he forgot to look


Better staple it together and call it bad weather
Staple it together and call it bad weather X3


If the weather is better
We should get together
Spend a little time and we can do whatever
And if we get together we'll be twice as clever
So, staple it together and call it bad weather, mm hmmm

C                                                  F 
Your voice is adrift, I can't expect it to sing to me
                     C               F 
As if I was the only one I'll follow you
                              C 
The leaf that's following the sun
             G 
When will my weight be too much for you?
                Am           G     F 
When will these ideas really be my own?
           C 
Cause this moment keeps on moving
G                           C 
We were never meant to hold on


This was a scene worth waking up for
When I woke up, you planted me in my own body
Don't know why but somehow it just feels so wrong
When you're sad I will be lonely
But when you rise again I'll become the sun
I will shine down upon you
As if you were the only one

Your voice is your own, I can't protect it
You'll have to sing a verse no one has ever known
Don't be afraid 'cause no one ever sings alone
Your way will never be too much for me
Your ideas have always been your own
And this moment keeps on moving
We were never meant to hold on

   She wears a smile that can make me wanna sing

   She gives me presents
D#             C#
   With her presence alone
A               F#m
   She gives me everything I could wish for
                B                                 E
   She gives me kisses on the lips just for coming home

                  E
   She could make angels
D#                    C#
   I've seen it with my own eyes
A             F#m
   You gotta be careful when you got good love
             B                           E
   Cause the angels will just keep on multiplying

                 F#m                B
   But you're so busy changing the world
            F#m                     B
   Just one smile can change all of mine
                     E

D#          C#
   Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh

[verse]
            E
In my rear view
         Bm               F#m
I watch you watching the twilight
                A
Behind the telephone lines
                 E             Bm
With nothing to prove, or to assume
                    F#m                              A
Just thinking that your thoughts are different than mine

[verse]
            E
In my rear view
         Bm
I watch you
                F#m                          A
And I gave you your life, would you give me mine
            E
I see you slowly swim away
            Bm
Cause the light is leaving town
      F#m
To a place that I can't be
            A
But there's no apologies

[chorus]
        C#m
Just go on
        E
Just go on
         B
There's still so many things
    A
I wanna say to you
       C#m
But go on
        E
Just go on
         B
We're bound by blood that's moving
          A
From the moment that we start
                          C#m  F#m  C#m F#m
From the moment that we start

[verse]
I see your perfect little lies
Watch the shadows of the clouds
And the surface of the ocean out the window of a plane
I get nervous when I fly
I'm used to walking with my feet

Turbulence is like a sigh that I can't help but over think

[verse]
What is the purpose of my life
If it doesn't ever do
With learning to let it go
Live vicariously through
You could do the same
It's the least you could do
Cause it's a lonely little chain
If you don't add to it

[chorus]
So go on
Just go on
There's still so many things
I wanna say to you
But go on
Just go on
We're bound by blood and love
From the moment that we start
Just go on
Just go on
There's still so many things
I wanna say to you
Just go on
Just go on
We're bound by blood that's moving
From the moment that we start
From the moment that we start

VERSE
        B            D#m
I feel sorrow for the fear
      A              C#m 
And everything it brings
   G         Bm          E
Wonder if it will ever sleep
   B           D#m
I know you understand
             A           C#m
Because you briefly look away
G            Bm
Focusing on nothing 
   E
So now everything is clear


PRE CHORUS
A                       D
Cause there's noone to blame
A                    
You got no place to hide
                   D
It's only in your mind
           A       C#m
And I saw you - in amazement
Bm                     E
Stumbling through the day
             A            C#m
You told me time - never waits
          Bm              E
What is that supposed to mean?




CHORUS:
        D
All of life
           C#m
Is in one drop of the ocean
              Bm
Waiting to go home
                    A
Just waiting to go home
           D
And if the moon
              C#m
Can turn the tides it can pull the tears
                        Bm
and take them from our eyes
                     A
And make them into monsoons                
And turn them into mon -
D                                    C#m
Sooner or later they'll weave their way back to the sea
                   Bm
Gonna finally be free
                   D
Yeah, free for a while
A
Until they break
       C#m
Like waves of sorrow
               Bm
Always do, all into time
                     D
Because time never waits

If I had eyes in the back of my head, I would have told you that
                     Em               D      A     G     Em
You looked good As I walked away

The more of this or less of this or is there any difference 
   G                            Em                            D
or are we just holding onto the things we don't have anymore

          D            Em   G         D
Sometimes time doesn't heal No not at all
This song sounds best when the chords are barred

Just stand still While we fall

In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back

Always looking out

D                         A
Lot of people spend their time just floating
G                   Em
We were victims together but lonely
D                        A
You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward
G                             Em
Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
D
Building with bent nails we're 
A                     G                     Em
falling but holding, I don't wanna take up anymore of your time

Time time time

Sometimes time doesn't heal No not at all

If I Had Eyes

G                             Am
Your shadow walks faster than you
                              G
You don't really know what to do
                              Am
Do you think that you're not alone?
                              G
You really think that you are immune to
                               Am 
Its gonna get that the best of you
                          G                    Am
Its gonna lift you up and let you down mmm mmm mmm 
          C                   G               Am
It will defeat you then teach you to get back up
         C              G                 Am  
After it takes away all that you learn to love
G                    Am
Your reflection is a blur
                       G
Out of focus but in confusion
                        Am
The frames are suddenly burnt
                              G
And in the end of a roll of illusion
                    Am 
A ghost waiting its turn
                    G
Now I can see right through
                           Am
It's a warning that nobody heard
        C                 G                  Am
It will teach you to love what you're afraid of
         C              G                 Am
After it takes away all that you learn to love
    G
But you don't
C
Always
G                 C
Have to hold your head
                 G
Higher than your heart
                             Am
You better hope you're not alone
           C                 G
You better hope you're not alone
                             Am   
You better hope you're not alone
           C                 G
You better hope you're not alone
                             Am
You better hope you're not alone
           C                 G
You better hope you're not alone
                            Am
You better hope you're not alone
              C                   G
You better be hoping you're not so...
      Am
Du du rut
C                 G
Hope you're not alone
        Am      C
Hmm hmm humm
G
Your -
                            Am 
Your echo comes back out of tune
                      G
Now you can quite get used to it
                 Am
Reverb is just a room
                               G
The problem is that there's no truth to it
                    Am
It's fading way too soon
                     G
The shadow is on the move
                               Am
And maybe you should be moving too
          C              G                   Am
Before it takes away all that you learned to love
        C                         G               Am
It will defeat you and then teach you to get back up
      G
Cause you don't
C
Always
G                 C
Have to hold your head
                 G
Higher than your heart
                            Am
You better hope you're not alone
           C                 G
You better hope you're not alone
                            Am
You better hope you're not alone
              C                   G
You better be hoping you're not alone
                             Am
You better hope you're not alone
           C                 G
You better hope you're not alone
                             Am
You better hope you're not alone

You better hope you're not so...

Trouble travels fast
                                   Am
When you're specially designed for crash testing
                                  Em
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon
                                F
Come on and tell us what you're trying to prove
               C
Because it's a battle when you dabble in war
                   Am
You store it up, unleash it, then you piece it together
                  Em
Whether the storm drain running rampant just stamp it
                   F
And send it to somebody who's pretending to care
     C
Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks
             Am
Learn how to use them, then abuse them and choose them
            Em
Over conversations relationships are overrated
F
"I hated everyone" said the sun
              C
And so I will cook all your books,You're too good looking and mistooken
          Am
You could watch it instead
                                    Em
From the comfort of your burning beds
                                    F   G
...Or you can sleep through the static
C         G          Am
Who needs sleep when we've got love?
Am        Em        C
Who needs keys when we've got clubs?
C         G           Am
Who needs please when we've got guns?
Am        Em         C
Who needs peace when we've gone above
    C      G                    Am
But beyond where we should have gone?
        Am     Em                   C
We went beyond where we should have gone
C
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
           Am
I thought about them too much, allowed them to touch
                  Em
The feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and cracked
 F
Waiting for things that never came
          C
Shock and awful thing to make somebody think
                         Am
That they have to choose pushing for peace supporting the troops
                  Em 
And either you're weak or you'll use brute force-feed the truth
                F
The truth is we say not as we do
       C
We say anytime, anywhere, just show your teeth and strike the fear
   Am
Of god wears camouflage, cries at night and drives a dodge
Em
Pick up the beat and stop hogging the feast
          F
That's no way to treat an enemy
            C
Well mighty mighty appetite

We just eat 'em up and keep on driving
Am
Freedom can be freezing take a picture from the pretty side
Em
Mind your manners wave your banners
                 F                         G
What a wonderful world that this angle can see
    C            G   Am
But who needs to see what we've done?
Am        Em          C     
Who needs please when we've got guns?
C         G         Am
Who needs keys when we've got clubs?
Am        Em         C
Who needs peace when we've gone above
    C      G                    Am
But beyond where we should have gone?
Am     Em                   C
Beyond where we should have gone
        C      G                    Am
We went beyond where we should have gone
Am     Em                   C
Beyond where we should have gone

Sleep Through The Static

And talk about the road behind how getting lost is not a waste of time.
Dm                                                                        C
The water moor will take us home in the moment we will sing as the forest sleeps.
          Em          Dm                    C
Well it's all for the sake of arriving with you
          Em             Dm                    C
Well it's all .. for the sake of arriving with you
C 
Well, I will make the table into a bed
C                                      Dm
The candle is burning down its time to rest.
Dm                                                                       C
I can't take back things already gone, but I could give you promises for keeps.
Dm                                                                           C
And I would only take them back if they become your own and you give them to me .
         Em          Dm                    C
And it's all for the sake of arriving with you.
          Em          Dm                    C
Well it's all for the sake of arriving with you.
         Em
We could make this into anything
         Dm                                C
We could make this into more than words we speak.
           Em
This could make us into anything
         Dm                                 C
It could make us grow and become what we'll be.
C                       Em
Hmmm  Hmm  Hmm Hmm Hmm  Hmmmmmmm

It's just like it feels.
                  C
It's just like it feels.
            Dm
How does it feel?
                  C
It's just like it feels.
                  Dm
It's just like it feels.

It's just like it feels.

Enemy

Dm                       F
I know she said it's alright 
Bb                               F
But you can make it up next time 
Dm                             F
I know she knows it's not right 
Bb                           F
There ain't no use in lying 
Dm                                     F
Maybe she thinks I know something 
Bb                                      F
Maybe maybe she thinks its fine 
Dm                                     F
Maybe she knows something I don't 
Bb                                            C
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying 


(Chorus)
F           C                 Dm
It seems to me that maybe 
                                   A
It pretty much always means no 
Bb                C                              F            C
So don't tell me you might just let it go 
F                                 C                                 
And often times we're lazy 
Dm                               A
It seems to stand in my way 
Bb                                 C
Cause no one no not no one 
                            F             C 
Likes to be let down 


(Same chords as 1st verse)
I know she loves the sunrise 
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes 
And I know that when she said she's gonna try 
Well it might not work because of other ties and 
I know she usually has some other ties 
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em 
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but 
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too 

(Chorus,same chords)
It seems to me that maybe 
It pretty much always means no 
So don't tell me you might just let it go 
And often times we're lazy 
It seems to stand in my way 
Cause no one no not no one 
Likes to be let down 
It seems to me that maybe 
It pretty much always means no 
So don't tell me you might just let it go 

Flake

INTRO:

A# F A Dm-Cm x2

VERSE:

A#                        F
Everyone laughed at her joke 
A                                   Dm  Cm
As if they'd never even heard it before 
A#                          F
And maybe they were truly amused 
A                                    Dm  Cm
But every word that she spoke was a bore 
A#                                F
And maybe it's because they had seen
A                         Dm  Cm
The previews on the TV screen 
A#                                F
Well this part is good and that's well understood
               A                        Dm  Cm
So you should laugh if you know what I mean

CHORUS         

A#           F
But it's all relative
A                      Dm-Cm  
Even if you don't understand
A#             F 
Well it's all understood
A                            Dm-Cm
Especially when you don't understand
A#                 F                  
Then it's all just because
A                    Dm-Cm 
Even if we don't understand
A#                   F         A     Dm-Cm 
Then lets all just believe

Pretty much the same for the rest of the song.

Funny bit right at the end:
A#                A#
But there you go once again
F                        F
You missed the point and then you point
A
Your fingers at me
    Dm         Cm            A#          F
And say that I said not to believe
  A
I believe
   Dm        Cm   A#
I guess it's all relative



It's All Understood

F#                           Bm
Sexy sexy made up of plexi disasters
F#

Bm
Learn to be shy and then you can sting
F#
Plexi, plexi bend don't shatter
G                   A
Once you're broken shape won't matter


Bm*               A
You're breaking your mind
     G                     F#
By killing the time that kills you

But you can't blame the time
G                   F#        Bm
Cause its only in your mind

2nd Verse: (same as first verse)
Quickly quickly grow and then you'll know
It is such an awkward show to see
And everyone you wanted to know
And everyone you wanted to meet
F#         Bm
Have all gone away
             F#          G   A
Well they've all gone away

Refrain:

And now you're
Breaking your mind
By killing the time that kills you
But you cant blame the time
G                     F#      Bm
Cause its only in your mind
F# Bm F# Bm.....
You're breaking your mind.....you're breaking your mind...

D                        A
It's as simple as something that nobody knows that
    E                      C
Her eyes are as big as her bubbly toes
       D                        A
On the feet of the queen of the hearts of the cards,
    E                         C             G     G6, G7, G6
Her feet are all covered with tar balls and scars


        D                        A
It's as common as something that nobody knows that
    E                      C
Her beauty will follow wherever she goes
       D                       A
Up the hill in the back of her house in the woods
       E                  C        G     G6, G7, G6
She'll love me forever, I know she could


    D            A
I remember when, you and me
E              C
  Mmmmm how we used to be
          D                 A
Just good friends, wouldn't give me none
E           C          G    G, C, D,    G, G, C, D
  But all I wanted was some


G                        G
She's got a whole lot of reasons, she cant think a
C                   D
single one that can justify leaving
    G                    G                    C
And he got none, but he thinks he got so many problems
         D                G      G, C, D
Hes got, too much time to waste


    G                  G
His dreams are like commercials,
        C                   D
And her dreams are picture perfect,
        G               G
And our dreams are so related
               C          D         G, G, D
Though they're often underestimated

     G                         G
Well I was eating lunch at the D-L-G
          C                        D
When this little girl came and she sat next to me
  G                          G
I never seen nobody move the way she did
         G (mute)
Well she did and she does and she'll do it again


         G
When you move like a jellyfish
G
Rhythm don't mean nothing
    C
You go with the flow
      D
You don't stop
G (mute)
Move like a jellyfish, rhythm is nothing
    C
You go with the flow

You don't stop, mmmmm

Up the hill in the back of her house in the woods

She'll love me forever, I know she

               C                   D                       G,

A                            Bm               A
A billion people died on the news tonight
                             Bm
But not so many cried at the terrible sight
           A
Well mama said
                        C#m
It's just make believe
                                      Bm
You can't believe everything you see
                                       D           Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
        A                     Bm
On the news tonight

A                                    Bm           A
Who's the one to decide that it would be alright
                            Bm
To put the music behind the news tonight
            A
Well mama said
                                         C#m
You can't believe everything you hear
                              Bm
The diagetic world is so unclear
                          D        Dm
So baby close your ears
             Bm
On the news tonight
               F#m
On the news tonight
Bm                                 F#m
The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
                  A
And mama said
E
Mmm

A                                                    Bm
Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die
A                                                   Bm
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes
        A
Mama said
                        C#m
It's just make believe

You cant believe everything you see
Bm                                       D         Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
           A                    Bm             A
On the news tonight

Oh man, she laughs so loud

Drink the water drink it down. This time I know I'm bound 
   G#              F#
To spit it back up. I didn't want this 
C#m
Salty substitute, just not going to do 
  G#            F#
I need some air, if I'm going to live through 
C#m
This experience reminds me of a clock 
     G#             F#
That just won't tick I want to wake up 
C#m
From this concussion But my dream is just not done 
    G#         F#
I'm late again, It's just one of those 
C#m
Bad days look outside and Be careful what you ride 
    G#             F#                  E
You just might find That you're out of time

If I drift long enough

He's got delusions between his ears

Man it takes up too much space 
C#m
And all that tension between his gears man 
      G#                    F#
He'll never ever leave this place 
C#m
He's got stones instead of bones And everybody knows 
G#                F#
That can make you real real slow 
       C#m    
And if heaven was below He'd know just where to go 
G#                         F# 
Dive in the ocean And he'd sink like a stone And he'd say 
     E       G#    C#m
It's time to swim ashore 
     E           G#
If I drift long enough

I'll be home 
C#m                    
Hold on if you can. You're gonna sink faster

Than you can imagine so hold

Hold on if you can You're gonna sink faster

Wrap your arms around, my love handles

Supposed To Be

(Intro) C C/B Am D7 G x4

C     C/B              Am
I want to be where the talk of the town
D7                         G
Is about last night when the sun went down
C  C/B          Am
yea.. And the trees all dance
D7                        G                      C  C/B
And the warm wind blows in that same old sound
Am                         D7
And the water below gives a gift to the sky
G                                    C     C/B
And the clouds give back everytime they cry
Am                               D7
And make the grass grow green beneath my toes
G
And if the sun comes out
C  C/B
I'll paint a picture all about
Am
The colors i've been dreaming of
D7
The hours just don't seem enough
Am
To put it all together
D7                                   G
Maybe it's as strange as it seems
C    G    C
Mmm..

Am                         D7
and the trouble I find is that the trouble finds me
G                          C
It's a part of my mind it begins with a dream
Am                         D7
And a feeling I get when I look and I see
G                          C
That this world is a puzzle, ill find all of the pieces
Am                         D7
And put it all together, and then ill rearrange it
Am
I'll follow it forever
D7                                 G   C
Always be as strange as it seems...mmm
Cm
Nobody ever told me not to try

Am                         D7
And the water below gives a gift to the sky

And the clouds give back everytime they cry
Am                               D7
Make the grass grow green beneath my toes
G
And if the sun comes out

This was only the worst hour of my day

Wrong Turn

Verse 1:
D
With everything ahead of us
D
We left everything behind
D
But nothing that we needed
D
At least not at this time
D      G
And now the feeling that I'm feeling
G                                    D
Well it's feeling like my life is finally mine
Em                   G                     D
With nothing to go back to we just continue to drive

Chorus:
  Em       
Without you I was broken
       G                                D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
  Em       
Without you I was broken
       G                                D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side

Verse 2:
      D
I didn't know what I was looking for
D
So I didn't know what I'd find
D
I didn't know what I was missing
D
I guess you've been just a little too kind
G
And if I find just what I need
                          D
I'll put a little peace in my mind
G
Maybe you've been looking too
                                D
Or maybe you don't even need to try

Chorus:
Em                      
Without you I was broken
G                                       D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
Em                      
Without you I was broken
G                                       D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side

Verse 3:
D
With everything in the past
D
Fading faster and faster until it was gone
D
Found out I was losing so much more than I knew all along

Verse 4:
G
Because everything I've been working for
                         D
Was only worth nickels and dimes
G
But if I had a minute for every hour that I've wasted
                D
I'd be rich in time, I'd be doing fine

Chorus x4
Em
Without you I was broken
G                                     D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
Em
Without you I was broken
G                                     D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
Em
Without you I was broken
G                                     D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side
Em
Without you I was broken
G                                     D
But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side

Rodeo Clowns

D                      F#m
There?s traffic in the sky
               C                       Em
And it doesn't seem to be getting much better
                     D   
There?s kids playing games on the pavement
        F#m                      C
Drawing waves on the pavement mm-hm
               Em                        D
Shadows of the planes on the pavement mm-hm 
                       F#m
It's enough to make me cry
               C                               Em
But that don't seem like it would make it feel better
             D              
Maybe it's a dream and if I scream 
        F#m
It will burst at the seams 
     C                          Em
This whole place will fall into pieces 
                A   G#
And then they'd say

G                      A
Well how could we have known
                       D           Bm			
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
        G
Nah nah nah
                A  
You keep adding stones
               D
Soon the water will
               Bm
Be lost in the well
G           A
Mmmm mmmm

D                    F#m
Puzzle pieces in the ground
    C                       Em
But no one ever seems to be digging 
                        D                                 F#m
Instead they're looking up towards the heavens with their eyes on the heavens
 
C                                 Em
Shadows on the way to the heavens
D                      F#m
It's enough to make me cry 
               C                               Em
But that don't seem like it would make it feel better 
                     D                                 F#m
The answers could be found we could learn from digging down 
    C                       Em
But no one ever seems to be digging 
                A   G#
Instead they?ll say

G                      A

Be lost in the well

Mmmm mmmm

D                   F#m
Words of wisdom all around 
    C                    Em
But no one ever seems to listen 
                            D
They?re talking about their plans on the paper 
         F#m
Building up from the pavement 
C                                Em
Shadows from the scrapers on the pavement 
D                      F#m
It?s enough to make me sigh 
               C                               Em
But that don?t seem like it would make it feel better 
                   D                            F#m
The words are all around but the words are only sounds 
    C                    Em
And no one ever seems to listen 
                A   G#
Instead they?ll say

Fm  C#m                             B C#m 
    its only entertainment, as anyone can see

And what about those shoes you're in today?

And by the way
You know that hope will make you strange
Make you blink, make you blank Make you sink
G
It will make you afraid of change
And often blame the box with the view of the world
                   D
And the walls that fill the frame
I turn it up
But then I turn it off
Because I can't stand
When they start to talk about
    D
The hurting and killing
Whose shoes are we filling
The damage and ruin
Man, the things that we're doing
Gotta

We gotta stop
We gotta turn it all off
We gotta rewind
Start it up again
RIFF
Because we fell across the fall line
                    G
Ain't there nothing sacred anymore
G
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
D
Somebody saw him jump
Yeah, but nobody saw him slip
I guess he lost a lot a hope
And then he lost a grip
             G
And now he's lying in the freeway
In the middle of this mess
Guess we lost another one, just like the other one
D
Optimistic, hypocrite that didn't have the nerve to quit
The things that kept him wanted more
'Til he finally reached the core
RIFF
He feel across the fall line
                    G
Ain't there nothing sacred anymore
G                               D
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

The air was more than humid
G
And the heat was more than hungry
G                                               Em
And the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes
G
The bulls were running wild
G
Because they're big and mean and sacred
G                                               Em
And the children were playing cricket with no shoes
B
The next morning we woke up, man, with a seven hour drive
     C
Well there we were stuck in port Blaire where boats break and children stare
    G                  D
And there were so many fewer questions
 Em                   B                   C
When stars were still just the holes to heaven
Bm     Am     Am
Mmhmm
    G                  D
And there were so many fewer questions

When stars were still just the holes to heaven

Disembarking from the port with no mistakes of any sort
G                               Em
Moving soundly engine running smooth
G
Officials were quite friendly once we drowned them with our sweet talk
G                                           Em
And we bribed them with our cigarettes and booze
B
The next morning we woke up, man, with the sunrise to the right
C
Moving back north to port Blaire where boats break and children stare
    G                  D
And there were so many fewer questions
 Em                   B                   C

Not so good, not so bad only know what they have

  C                  Cmaj9
Someday at Christmas, men wont be boys

  Am                     F
Playing with bombs like boys play with toys

 F                      Em
One warm December, our hearts will see

   Dm                  G
A world where men are free




And some day at christmas, there'll be no wars
When we have learned what christmas is for
When we have found out what life is really worth
Then there will be peace on Earth

Someday all of our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you or for me
But someday at Christmas time

And someday at christmas, there'll be no tears
All men are equal and no men have fears
One shining moment my heart ran away
From the world that we live in today

And someday at Christmas, men will not fail
Take all because your love will prevail
Someday in a new world that we can only start
With hope in every heart

And someday all of our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you or for me
But someday at Christmas time

There will be peace on Earth,
I said there will be peace on Earth

Someday At Christmas

A
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer 
                 E
Had a very shiny nose 

And if you ever saw it 
                      A
You would even say it glows 

All of the other reindeer 
                           E
Used to laugh and call him names 

They never let poor Rudolph 
                     A
Join in any reindeer games 
D              A
Then one foggy Christmas eve 
E             A
Santa came to say: 
D                  A
"Rudolph with your nose so bright 
E
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" 
     A
Then how the reindeer loved him 
                         E
As they shouted out with glee (yippee) 

"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer 
                     A
You'll go down in history." 
     D                 A      
Well Rudolph he didn't go for that 
           E                      A
He said "I see through your silly games" 
D                  A
How could you look me in the face 
          E
When only yesterday you called me names? 
 D
Well all of the other reindeers man, 
 A
Well they sure did feel ashamed, 
 E
"Rudolph you know we're sorry, 
      D                  A
We're truly gonna try to change"

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

This Warm December: Brushfire Holiday's Vol. 1

Intro:
D,Em,G

D                              
I gotta get home there's a garden to tend,
                                                               
There's fruit on the ground and the birds have all moved back
     Em
into my attic,

Whistle and static,
                                                               
When the young learn to fly I will patch all the holes up 
      D
again,
I can't believe that my lime tree is dead,
                                                               
I thought it was sleeping I guess I got fed up, with not being
Em
fed,
And I'm being too,
                                                          D 
I keep food in my belly and hope that my time isn't soon,

Chorus:
D
So I try to understand, what I
Em                               G
can't hold in my hand, and where ever we are,
Home is there too,

D
And if you can try to find it to, cause this
Em
place is overgrowing to wax and gloom,
G                     A  
Home is where ever we are if there's nothing to,

D
In the back of our house, there's a trail that won’t end,
We been walking so far that it grew back in
    Em
But there's no trail when the gras growing taller
get around my machete,
                               D
and battle with time once again,
    Em 
But I'm bound to lose cause I’ll be damned if time don’t win

D
I gotta get home there's a garden to tend,
All the seeds from the fruit buried and begin
      Em
their old family trees,
teach them thank you and pleases,
they spread there own roots,
                                      D
then watch the young fruit grow again,
    Em                                                        D
And this old trail will lead me right back to where it begins,
D
So I try to understand, what I
Em
can't hold in my hand, and
G                    A 
whatever I find I'll find may way back to you,

D
And if you can try to find it to, cause this
Em
place is overgrowing to wax and gloom,
G
Home is where ever we are if there's nothing to,

# Verse 1
           E                                         B
Back when all my little goals seemed so important
  E                                  B
Every pot of gold fill and full of distortion
 E                                   B                          
Heaven was a place still in space not in motion
              F#
But soon

# Chorus
          E
I got you
         B
I got everything
              E
I've got you
              B
I don't need nothing
                  E
More than you
         B
I got everything

# Verse 2
              E                                B
We went walking through the hills tryin' to pretend that we both know
 E                               B
Maybe if we save up we can build a little home
       E                                 B
But then the hell storm came and yelled,"You need to let go, you've got no control.
F#
No."

# Chorus
          E
I got you
         B
I got everything

I've got you
              B
I don't need nothing
                  E
More than you
         B
I got everything
               F#
I've got you

# Bridge

This weight's too much alone
          B                          G#m
Some days I can't hold it at all
       B                G#m
You take it on for me

           F#
When tomorrow's too much
      E
I'll carry it all
             B
I've got you
        F#
And when tomorrow's too much
     E
I'll carry it all
         B
I got you

Never Fade

Bb                             Cm   F
In the morning when the world came awake
  Bb                             Cm   F
Before you knew me I knew your name
       Bb                             Cm    F
It was painted across the day as it breaks
    Bb                         Cm   F
An impression in your window frame
         Cm
When you saw me out your window
F
Singing from the garden
Cm
Only the beginning
    F
I'm only getting started
Cm
I don't mind the digging
F
Baby, I'll work harder
Cm
I've been washing dishes
F
Singing from the bottom
    Bb                             Cm   F
But one day I'll be running this place

And one day I could take you away

But I want you to wonder what's my name

I'm only getting started

Baby, I'll work harder
Cm
I've been in the ashes

Singing from the garden

Where everything reaches for the sun
Bb                            Cm    F
Still unsure of what we'll become

Because I'm afraid that One day is only two words we say
Bb                       F
I don't want to let them get in the way
Cm                    Eb                        Bb
Of all the plans that we should be making right now

Right now
Cm                    Eb
Who took the time and where did they take it

And one day I could take you away

Washing Dishes

C  Bb  F  C

C
There's a black hole pulling me in
         Bb
I slowly bend till I see the back of my own sins
F                                    C
I stole my soul from myself now I wonder
C
Wonder - is there somebody with a perfect plan
          Bb
That goes boom when it's stamped and we could understand
        F                                            C
How the gods of old used to clap their hands to make thunder
         C
So we're clapping and we're laughing like it was so absurd
       Bb                                            F
In the future we'll be laughing at who we were right now
                                       C
As man plays god with the land that he plunders
       C 
To the one unknown no one can know nor 
Bb
see that's resistant to greed
                F                                  C
If we listen to time after time, time can never go under
             C              F
There's this vine trying to climb
            G        F     Am
Through the window into my life
        Am
I don't mind
        G
I don't mind
        F       F
I don't mind
             C              F
There's this wine trying to find
                 G        F     Am
Its way from the bottle into my mind
      Am
In my mind
      G
In my mind
      F
In my mind
            C
And so this vine is trying to climb through the window into my life
            Bb
To bring me symmetry and memories of a backlit breeze
F                                                     C
Back into a dream on the ground looking up at the sun coming down
       C
Into a world of boys and girls are holding handheld devices
              Bb
While they're eating and they're sleeping and they're dreaming of the prices
         F                                                             C
We'll be paying down the line when the ice melts maybe it will turn to wine
            C
And all the greatest of the heroes started jumping from the books
             Bb
They started wearing ones and zeros looking more and more like crooks
               F
They stole the sunlight from the future
                                               C
took a sip, drained half the glass, and put it back
             C
And a lot of people like to have a feast not so many could stomach the killing
       Bb
Lot of traffic on the streets, so who's really doing all the drilling
        F
Keep on filling what can never be full
                         C
My imagination has got a hold on me
             C              F
There's this vine trying to climb
            G        F     Am
Through the window into my life
        Am
I don't mind
        G  
I don't mind
        F       F 
I don't mind
             C              F
There's this wine trying to find
                 G        F     Am
Its way from the bottle into my mind
      Am
In my mind

All my friends, my rusty truck

Said, "You can have that thing for fifty bucks"

And all of the girls would be in the front row
Bb                     Eb
But in the end we just chickened out

VERSE
A              Em
As I was saying
                          D
Just before you left the room
       A
Before I assumed
      G         D          A
That you might not come around

A              Em
As I was saying
                   D
Just after I took my foot from
    A                G
My mouth and put it back
D        A
On the ground

CHORUS
D                     E
I don't want to disappoint you
A                     D
I don't want to disappear
      Bm      E      A
From here or now or you

VERSE
A                   Em
This is worth saving
                          D
Because the sum of us is more than us
       A
If you add us up


          G       D        A
Then subtract my lack of sleep

A                  Em
My mind feels crazy
                             D
When all these thoughts come rushing in
              A
Should I be trusting them
   G     D        A
Or only let them be?

CHORUS
D                     E
I don't want to disappoint you
A                     D
I don't want to disappear
      Bm      E      A
From here or now or you

BRIDGE
Bm                      E
Is it just a matter of time?
Bm                        C#
Or does it even matter at all?
D                      A           Bm
Because even if this story should fall
           D         A
From the sky to the sea
A           Bm
If I should fall
           D              F#m
Would you fall down with me?
               E
Would you fall?

VERSE
A                 Em
Found my foundation
                     D
It was underneath me all alone
A
On this path I'm on,
       G     D     A
Now I never walk alone

A                Em
I've been erasing
                    D
Rewrote the second half like this
          A
So my protagonist
       G        D        A
Might find his way back home

CHORUS
D                     E
I don't want to disappoint you
A                     D
I don't want to disappear
      Bm      E      A
From here or now or you
             Bm      E       A
No not from here or now or you

     Lost the fingernails on your hands

     How you're gonna scratch any backs?

This place is wrong
          C              Am           
These hands are fast
        G        F
This face is long

       C         G                F
Just stop upsetting yourself
    G                 C
Upsetting your thoughts
    G                F
Upsetting this world

That you're standing on

These plans are torn

These feet are cold

This shield is worn

This peace was stolen

These problems they breathe

Their fire is real
         G                    C
The coins that they keep

Intro

Em Bm D A (2x)
            Em
Hey, little girl
              Bm              D
You might not know this song
                                  A
This is not the kind of song that you could sing along
            Em
Hey, little girl
          Bm         D
Maybe someday
                                  A
At least that's what all the good people will say
            G
Hey, little girl
                 Em
Look what you've done
                Bm                 A             G
You've gone and stole my heart and made it your own
    Bm                 A             G
You stole my heart and made it your own
            Em
Hey, little girl
Bm
Black and white and right and wrong
D                       A
Only live inside a song I will sing to you
          Em 
You don't ever have to feel lonely
         Bm
You will never lose any tears
          D
You don't have to feel any sadness
         A
When you look back on the years
          Em
How can I look you in the eyes?
    Bm
And tell you such big lies
    D                        A
The best I can do is try to show you
                    G
How to love with no fear
          Em
My little girl
                Bm                 A             G
You've gone and stole my heart and made it your own
    Bm                 A            G
You stole my heart and made it your own

After all this time after all of these seasons

It's only the ocean and you

only the ocean and me

When these sails go up mountains fade away
F7                          Bb
Stars come back I'm finally free
     Bbm                C
It's only the ocean and me

You don't want You don't wait

You don't love but you don't hate

You just roll over me and you pull me in

And you pull me in...

To The Sea

# play G, F, C, G  the entire song. Listen to get the rhythm

When I look up at the stars 
As I walk in the night 
Down the street by my house It feels good

When I look up at the stars 
As I walk in the night 
Down the street by my house It feels good

The light from the moon 
Is afraid of the ground 
So it falls behind spaces 
And hides behind clouds

When I look up at the clouds 
As they move through the night 
With the wind 

As I walk down the street
The light from the moon Is afraid of the ground
 So I step on the shadows 
Of my own feet

When I Look Up

In The Morning

From his "En Concert" album live 

            F     Am
I've got an angel
                     Dm     Bb
She doesn't wear any wings
            Gm
She wears a heart that can melt my own
            C                            F
She wears a smile that can make me wanna sing
             F         Am
She gives me presents
                       Dm   Bb
With her presence alone
              Gm
She gives me everything I could wish for
             C                               F
She gives me kisses on the lips just for coming home
               F      Am
She could make angels
                        Dm     Bb
I've seen it with my own eyes
             Gm 
You gotta be careful when you've got good love
          C                              F
Cause the angels will just keep on multiplying
    Gm                          C
But you're so busy changing the world
         Gm                      C
Just one smile can change all of mine
                  F
We share the same soul
Am             Dm
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
                  F
We Share the same soul
Am             Dm
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
                  F
We Share the same soul
Am             Dm
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
               Bb
Oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
C              F
Umm umm umm uhhhhhhmm

F Am Dm C Bb F Gm C

F                Am                      Dm                   C
There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
Bb           F                 Gm            C
No song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart
F   Am                   Dm               C
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Bb                 F               Gm          C
Like a, shoebox of photograph with sepia-toned loving
F           Am                   Dm                       C
Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart
Bb              F                     Gm                    C
Like why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard?
F               Am                 Dm            C
It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
Bb                F                  Gm                  C
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

Bb               C            
Mmm, it's always better when we're together
Bb                      C
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
Bb                C
Well, it's always better when we're together
Bb                C
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

F Am Dm C Bb F Gm C

                 F
And all of these moments
           Am                     Dm        C
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
      Bb                   F             Gm             C
But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings
      F            Am     Dm                 C
And brings new things for tomorrow night you see
     Bb              F            Gm               C
That they'll be gone too too many things I have to do
                    F            Am                     Dm         C
But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
       Bb          F              Gm             C
I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between
          F               Am              Dm               C
With only two just me and you not so many things we got to do
   Bb               F              Gm              C
Or places we got to be we'll sit beneath the mango tree now

Bb                C
Yeah, it's always better when we're together
Bb                   C
Mmm, we're somewhere in between together
Bb                C
Well, it's always better when we're together
Bb                C
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

F Am Dm C Bb F Gm C (2x)

Gm           C
I believe in memories
              Gm               C
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
        Gm          C
Hey now, and when I wake up,
            Gm                      C
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
            Bb          C
But there is not enough time,
                Bb               C
And there is no, no song I could sing
               Bb              C
And there is no combination of words I could say
           Bb                 C (hold)
But I will still tell you one thing

We're better together.

G         D                  G
All my friends are getting older,
A                 BM
I guess I must be too.
                          G
Without their love and kindness
A
I don't want I'll do, Oh
G                        D
The wine bottle's half empty
A                     BM
The money's all been spent
                            G
We're a cross between our parents
      A
And hippies in a tent.  OH,

    G                    D
Love calls just like a wild bird
A                 BM
It's just another day
               G          A          G
Spring blew my list of things to do away.

D,G,D

G                   D
In a mucked up lovely river
A                    BM
I cast my my little fly
                                 G
But I look at that river and I smell it and
     A
it makes me want to cry, Oh
G                    D
To clean our dirty planet
A                    BM
Now there's a noble wish
                        G
Now I putting shoulder to the wheel
A 
Cause I wanna catch some fish, Oh
      G                   D
Love calls just like a wild bird
A                  BM
It's just another day
                G        A           D
Spring blew my list of things to do away.
