Verse 1

G                          D
We've just got to take our time
          A
It's like nothing really matters,
         Bm                  G
So let's make this moment a crime
          D                A
I know, I know you?re left behind

     G                  D
I?ll do my best to feel broke down
(I?ll do my best to feel broke down)
           A
Its been a minute, a second,
     Bm                     G
I?ll wait for you to make a sound
              D                  A

G                    A
Tell me it's not too late

On and on and on you wait
    G
And all the days, they fade away
    D
And all the nights,
                       G
They?ve never felt the same
   D
If I was wrong then I was wrong
    G

The things we do are never gonna change

Well you haven?t got a lot to say

I know, I know you?re taking time

Pre Chorus

Chorus

Bridge

We wait forever,

            D
Not like it matters, its over,

We're living under covers

A Save Situation

Interventions and Lullabies

C
Hold on, there's a hole in my heart 
         Dm
everyone can see right through me 
        Em   F 
it goes all the way to the waves 
                                        F F G G
where my love she tried to wash it away 

see we break for the summers 
so she can find lovers 
she treats them like a bottle of wine 
they make you dinner 
and they sing you to sleep 
but by the morning find the bottle is empty 
            Am       
'cause she never gives it the time 
       F 
every bottle she finds 

they don't compare 
                 Em    F
to the ones she left behind 
there is never a note 
        G                             F F G G
so she waits for me to come back home 
C
I'm looking for a dead end song 
you wish that smoke 
      Dm  
could change its color 
    Em    F     
I love it when you talk so much 
and act like nothing went wrong F F G G 
I'm looking for a dead end song 
while we sit and find flaws in everyone 
I want to keep you by my side 
holding off tidal waves 

Same thing

"mint car" is keeping us warm 
she lays crossed upon the bed 
we are puzzles making shapes 
with our hands 
I take my finger, turn into a pen 

then i run my hand down your spine 
you guess i wrote something profound 
something like: 
"our love will last 'til we die" 
I say "you're good at this game" 
but what I really wrote is 
"how I've yet to be saved" 

Dead End

First Verse:

So the wind the blows across your room,
        E 
Carry cheap perfume onto your dresser,
  A                              E
It rained for jewelery and for credit cards,
(continue with E)                
Two tickets to a film I don't remember,
      A                          E
One day you'll kiss your rabbit's nose, pick up the phone,
     A
To find I've been turned over,
                        E
You grab that piece of gold,
     A
Only to find that the smell has taken over,
                                       E
And all the things you had,
                        A
They aren't the same
                 B
As what you hold
             E
Second Verse:

Now I'm standin' in a room,
           E
That's filled with older folks,
                     A  
They're pleading baby listen,
                     E
And I scream as loud as anyone,
(continue with E)
But when asked to make a point,
           A
I tend to whisper
            E
Now highways turn the tidal waves,
      A
An' they're askin' me to export all of your insecurities,
                                           E
But that wind that blows across your room,
           A
It's gonna' set the sails,
(continue with A)
And send me back to yooou, ooh,

Chorus

 Sometimes, when sailors are sailin', they,
E
 Think twice, about where they're anchorin'
A
 And I think, I could make better use,
E
 Of my time on land,
A
 I'll drink less,
E
 Cause Lord knows I could use a,
A
 Warm kiss, Instead of the call goodbye
B
 I'm writing the folks back home to tell them,
A
 Hey, Yeah I'm doin' allright

Bridge/Fast Part:

(E, A, E, A, A, B)= repeat once!

It's a shame what your father did,
         E                     A
To your brothers head, he smashed it with the telephone
         E                   A        A   B           
Your mother got scared and locked the door,
       E                     A
You were only four, but Lord, you remember it,
           E              B    A      A
So now you're scared of love
                A
I'm here to tell you love's not some fucking blood on the receiver
(continue with A)                                          (E, A, E, B, A, A)  

Love is speaking in code
       A
It's an inside joke, love is coming, home,
(continue with A)

Repeat Chorus, (but a little faster)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah I'm doin' just fine,
                     A
An' if she seems as lonely as me,
                      B
Let her, sink,
          A
Yeah I'm doin' alright,
                  E
Yeah I'm doin' just fine,
                     A
An' if she seems as lonely as me, let her,
           B
Sink, you let her, sink, well let her!
 A       

(E, A, E, A, A, B)= 3 times
(E, A, E, B, A, A, E, let ring on last note!)

It gets worse once we get to her room she stops and she sings "doot do do do

She Doesn't Get It

D            A                      G
Nico take it slow, show me that you care
                      A                 D
And love's not just a flare on my sle-e-eve
                        A                                G
Sleep well, I pray that cardboard boxes, set the perfect stage.
                            A                    D
'Cause wood grain makes all man made things seem so out of date
A            B           A      Bb                        A
Life is not a play, it's what we,   make of the people we love.

D                            A
Snails see the benefits, the beauty in every inch
   G                       A
Oh why, why, why, why, why, are you quick to kiss?
    D                   A                           G
She bites at blades and leaves, God damn you shrubbery
                     A                   B          A   D
Well I'm sick of vanity plays, should we move to the UK?

'Cause life here in the states has escaped
Bb               A      Bb                       A
All the people above us,  what we make of those people we love

I watch her as she runs, my mother jumps the gun
                    A                          D
She puts her in her arms, that is just like my mom
                          A                            G
Never lets go, never lets me grow old, I wanna pay her back

But love is nothing you can tax
   D
My family's not rich by any means

But I feel we won the lottery, that day
    A                              D
The rock swallowed the girl, and I cried as cameras caught my eyes
   A                                   G           A
My tears turned into butterflies, they fly away as caskets close
  D                    A               G              A        D
A new day comes you'll wake unfolding, smile when you feel the sunlight

 You feel the sunlight, you feel the sunlight

I smoke myself to sleep

                      C
And blame postmodern things I can't relate,

Like summer camp and coastal states.
       Am
Like alcohol and coffee beans.

Dance floors and magazines.
  F
I think its safe to say I've only got myself to blame
                 G
But boys in swooping haircuts are bringing me down,

Taking pictures of themselves

C   Am   F   G

             C
And so I walk the web in search of love,

But always seem to end up stuck
       Am
I'm finding flaws in everyone

I've reached the point where all I want,
       F
Is to sleep around in hopes that I will catch back up
           G
We are parallel lines we're running in circles,

We're never meant to cross


           C
I'm at a loss, you were my tangerine,


My pussycat, my trampoline
        Am
Now alls I get are wincing cheeks,

And dog problems, I signed a lease
F
Thinking my heart belonged at 93rd and park
              G
Instead I broke a girl's heart,

And flew back to Phoenix to finish the year as it started


            C                                                       Am                      F
Can you hear me? Are you listening? This is the sound of my heart breaking
        C                                              Am          F                  C
And I hope it's entertaining, Cause for me it's a (bad word) Was it worth it?
                                                           Am                  F
When you slept with him? Did you get it all out of your system?


C                Dm                   Em                        F                        G
I am a man, Holding it all, I couldn't breath, Coming across, I didn't know
Am                B-Am-G-F-Em-Dm-C-Bb-Am-G
I couldn't give u------------uu--------------------up

C                                  C
B is for believing you'd always be here for me
A
E is for everything, even when we see it though
F
C, c is for seeing through you, you are a fake, which brings me
G
To A because, because, you always run away


        C
I never finish phrases, I misspell.

Open arms are prison cells.
  Am
When I said, "I hate what I've become"

I lied, I hated who I was.
   F
So when you start to wonder 'bout the pain in my throat,
                                                                                 
                                                     C    G      C
Then don't you ever, no never, ever, speak for someone you don't know.

Of a girl

The Format
"The First Single (Cause A Scene)"
Interventions + Lullabies

This is how to play the album version of The Format's "The First Single";
this is exactly how the song is played live, as well. There is no need for
a capo. This is how I play the song, also, so I wrote the tab out and
then played it again just to make sure it sounds good -- it does.

I included all chords/lyrics, because the verses and choruses don't play out
exactly the same each time, and when I'm learning a song, I don't like to
read a lazy tab. Enjoy, this song is not difficult for a beginner to learn.

(Note, you'll easily be able to tell if your guitar is in tune with this
song's intro: the fifth fret on B and the open E note should ring in
harmony, obviously.)

You know the night life is just not for me

Don't want to go out and be on my own,

You know they started something I can't stand

You leave for the city, well count me out

[Verse 1]
             F 
Baby really hurt me
                Am 
crying in the taxi
                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm
says you make the big mistake of dancing in my store 
Gm                  C
   Says it was poison
                 F
So I guess I go home 
          Am                     Dm
into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am
play it romance
         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Verse 2]
            F 
The truth is, I am toy
                Dm
that people enjoy
                Am               A#
till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Outro]
             Dm           F           A#
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Liability

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around
                                                Fm                        
Got some extra time think I'll throw some money down
                                                     D
And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

Up Here

F Am Dm C

    F              Am            Bb          C
The skirts go up, before the wall  among the madding crowds, 
    
     F                      Am                    Dm     C
They ruin, Like the rest of ruin, the rest of us ruin
          F                      Am           Bb           C
You are a living doll riding the circle tracks  behind the walls of clocks, 
        F                      Am                   Dm     C
In your ruin, Like the rest of ruin, the rest of us ruin     

 Bb                        F         C
Traffic will slow for the crash years
 Bb                             F         C      Dm     C
There's no other show like it 'round here, as a ru-u-ule
 Bb                        F            C
Windows will roll for the crash years 
        Bb                       F         C      Dm    C

Now the candle's end, you are a light turned low  and like the rest of us,
                 F            Am               Dm     C
You've got those old, eternity blues, eternity blues

C#m          E       B      A                     C#m   E    B   A 
I’m going away to be alone I’m coming back with answers
C#m           E            B    A            C#m   E   B   A
Don’t try to call my telephone it’s disconnected
C#m           E          B       A               C#m   E   B   A
And I don’t know where I’m going but can you guide me
C#m              E        B        A              C#m   E   B   A
But if I find love where I’m going will it survive me


PRE-CHORUS 1:

C#m            B   A                         C#m         A   B
‘Cause in your own space you’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not affected
C#m         B   A                           C#m         A   B

A                                 C#m                     B
I want some downtime so call me when you can and I’ll be fine


VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time


{CHORUS x2}


Sometimes if we don’t go sometimes you don’t know
You don’t go I don’t go I don’t go you don’t go

C#5  E5  A5                    C#5  A5  B5
            This heart attack              then I’m feeling fine

 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime

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

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

But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no

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

[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

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)
G                D
You can call it fire and ice
    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
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 (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm             A
We like it in the nighttime

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 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
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
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
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


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
           Bm7                   F#                G                    A
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
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith
 
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
           Bm7                   F#                G                    A
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
         Bm7 A    Bm7 A       Bm7 A       G                      G   
Don't be fallin', fallin' in, fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
