C
They were the sweetest words I'd ever heard
Fsus2
My heart could barely take it in
     Am7
Like water offered to the lips
Fsus2
Of a tired and thirsty man
              C
'cause it's a tangled web I've woven
      Fsus2
And I don't know all the reasons
       Am7
But it amazes me to wake up
        Bbsus2 Bb
To your mercy every morning
        G
So I'm standing here spinning around
Fsus2                 C
In the fields of freedom
        G                                        
And I'm still alive and reaching out
    Fsus2          G
And I can feel the healing

'cause you say

There is no jury

For the sake of never making waves I
Fsus2
Kept my secrets to myself

And no one ever really knew the

Darker shadows of my heart

But I will be a witness
             Fsus2
That there's nothing in me dark enough

The power of forgiveness

Cannot rescue from the deep

So I'm standing here spinning around

Out In The Open

A                    E7
Long time since I've seen your smile
F#m                 C#7        D
But when I close my eyes, I remember, mmmm
A                        E7
You were no more than a child
F#m             C#7          D
But then so was I, young and tender

A    B7
Time carries on
D                 A
I guess it always will
            B7
But deep inside my heart
D           A
Time stands still

CHORUS:
F#m B       E7
Stay  for a while
           A                D
Well, it's good to see your smile
      C#7            F#m
And I love your company
    B      E7
Stay for a while
      A                     D
And remember the day's gone by
      C#7           F#m
For a moment it can seem
         D      E7      A
Just the way it used to be

A                       E7
Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts
F#m          C#7            D
Clear summer days, warm and lazy, yeah
A                      E7
Long walks, long talks after dark
F#m                    C#7           D
We vowed we'd never forget, now it's hazy

A    B7
Time takes its toll
D                   A
And time alters our view
            B7
It would be nice
              D         A
To spend some time with you

The day I watched you leave

Sit on the shores of love

And just let it go

Cry a river

Cry a river over me

Take the bitter

Fmaj7       A7sus4  D
Main Street U.S.A., boarded up and dry
Fmaj7        A7sus4             D
Knowin' what once was here just makes me wanna cry
Fmaj7          A7sus4    D
Used to be the favorite place here
    F                C             G             D
Now what remains are memories even time cannot erase

Fmaj7    A7sus4               D
Old man Johnson's store where we grew up too fast
Fmaj7        A7sus4        D
All that remains today are echoes from the past
Fmaj7        A7sus4  D
Used to be a boomin' town yeah
     F                  C            G            D
Now all that's left is either broken up or broken down

(Chorus)
          A    Bm7   Am7   D 
Singing, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"
          C         G
Where we used to belong
             C      D 
There ain't nobody home
       A    Bm7   Am7   D
Said, "Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh"

You can knock all you want
           C     D 
But ain't nobody home

Fmaj7      A7sus4      D
Packed up, moved away, runnin' from the past 
Fmaj7      A7sus4        D
Leavin' behind the dusty dreams and broken glass
Fmaj7      A7sus4  D 
Used to be a busy town now
    F         C                   G                 D
Now everybody passes through but they don't stick around

(Repeat Chorus)

          Am7                D
Oh, was a news stand on the corner
      Am7                 D 
Right next to the barber shop
    Am7               G 
And down the street there
             Cmaj7
That's where all the kids would stop
                Am7                 D
And they would tease the neighbor's bulldog
Am7           D
Laugh and run away
Am7                G                  Cmaj7
Now there's no one left who knows the truth in what you say

Your smile lights up a room

Like a candle in the dark
G7                      Csus4  C
It warms me through and through

Missing you feels like a way of life

I'm living out the life that I've been given

But, baby I still wish you were mine

I cannot hear the telephone

Jangle on the wall
G7                     Csus4 C
And not feel a hopeful thrill
G7
I cannot help but smile at

Any news of you at all

Lord I'm really glad you're here
Gsus2 
I hope you feel the same
     G
when you see all my fear, 
             C
and how I've failed.
  Cm
I fall sometimes
Gsus2                         G
It's hard to walk in shifting sand
Gsus2
I miss the rock and find 
     G
I've nowhere left to stand
             C
and start to cry
   Cm
So please help me
G                 Bm7             Em7               
Raise my hands so you can pick me up
        Cm7
Hold me close

Hold me tighter

CHORUS
G              Bm7               Em7 G7
I have found a place where I can hide

It's safe inside your arms of love
G                  Bm7               Em7 G7
Like a child who's held throughout a storm

You keep me warm
        B7      Em
In your arms of love

Bm7 Cmaj7 D

Storms will come and storms will go
Gsus2                  G
I wonder just how many storms it takes until
          C
I finally know
       Cm7
You're here always
G            Bm7                Em7
Even when my skies are far from gray
      Cm7
I can stay
            Eb   F
Teach me to stay there

G                 Bm7                Em7 G7
In the place I've found where I can hide...

Squeeze away each haunting fear

And say the words I long to hear

This is one of those moments
When all that really matters
A
Is crystal clear
       Bm7
We are woven together
By whatever threads of life that have
A
Brought us here
       D
We are stripped of all our layers
       A
We are getting to the core

So I'm here between the bookends
                           A
Of everything that was and what will be
          Bm7
There's a wealth of information
But not so many answers
A
It seems to me
     D
So I face the unfamiliar
     A
And nothing is clear

Only blinding faith can carry me from here

Somewhere Down The Road

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

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

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
