Phoenix es un grupo francés de rock alternativo de vertiente Underground formado a finales de los años 90 en Versalles, Francia.  La banda se formó en 1999 en el suburbio parisino de Versalles, dentro del mismo movimiento que vio nacer a Air y Daft Punk a finales de los 90. Phoenix empezó haciendo un remix del sencillo &quot;Kelly Watch the Stars&quot; de Air. Se volvieron rápidamente un éxito &quot;underground&quot; gracias al sonido loungy/mellow y sin pretensiones de su álbum del 2000 &quot;United&quot;.

Consolation Prizes

C Am G
Where to go I had no idea
F Am G
26.10 was the price to pay
C Am
A messed up kid with no ideals at all
G F Am G
I thought those 26.10 I shouldn't give'em away

I remember this young guy died and I took his part
He got far too many stitches on his pretty face
Long time to see but I always thought us two would be serious
I was looking around town, thinking the same as you


Dm
I'm far gone but your long distance call
F Dm
And your capital letters keep me asking for more

C
It's never been like that
It's never been like that
C1
It's never been like that
It's never been like that
C
It's never been like that
It's never been like that
C1
It's never been like that
It's never been like that

Dm
I'm far gone but your long distance call
F Dm
And your capital letters keep me asking for more

Where to go I had no idea about it
Most of the people do, there're only doing just fine
I don't wanna stay in place no more, see
Ain't doing well well well, I am only doing just fine

Long time no see, long time no say
Got little to tell, I don't say much but I might
Something always told me us two would be serious
I am looking around town, thinking the same as you

Dm
I'm far gone but your long distance call

Long Distance

It's Never Been Like That 

C.                        Bm.
They say an end can be a start
                                           G.
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
                                C.
It's like a bad day that never ends

I feel the chaos around me
Bm.                        Em.
A thing I don't try to deny
            
I'd better learn to accept that
 Em        Em/Eb        Em7      G
There are things in my life that I can't control

 Am7                  D
They say love ain't nothing but a sore
G       G/F#   Em
I don't even know what love is
 Am7                        D   
Too many tears have had to fall
G                     G/F#         Em
Don't you know I'm so tired of it all
I have known terror dizzy spells
Finding out the secrets words won't tell
Whatever it is it can't be named
There's a part of my world that' s fading away
You know I don't want to be clever
To be brilliant or superior
True like ice, true like fire
Now I know that a breeze can blow me away
Now I know there's much more dignity
In defeat than in the brightest victory
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...

Am7   D          G    G/F#   Em
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

 C
Hang on to the good days
Bm
I can lean on my friends
 G
They help me going through hard times
C    
But I'm feeding the enemy
Bm
I'm in league with the foe
Em                            Em   
Blame me for what's happening
         Em/Eb       Em7           G
I can't try, I can't try, I can't try...

Am7               D                   G   ( G/F# )  Em
No one knows the hard times I went through
If happiness came I miss the call
The stormy days ain't over
I've tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost
Now I've watched all my castles fall
They were made of dust, after all
Someday all this mess will make me laugh
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait...

Am7   D          G    ( G/F# )   Em
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know


 C                          Bm
It's like somebody took my place
                             G
I ain't even playing my own game
                        
The rules have changed well I didn't know
There are things in my life I can't control
C                         Bm
I feel the chaos around me
                        Em
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
 Em        Em/Eb      Em7           G
There's a part of my life that will go away

 Am7          D                  G    
Dark is the night, cold is the ground
                 G      G/F#     Em
In the circular solitude of my heart
As one who strives a hill to climb
I am sure I'll come through I don't know how
They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...


If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know

C Dm
Baby when I saw you turning at the end of the street
Em Dm Am
I knew a time was gone and it took me like ages
Dm Em
Just to understand that I was afraid to be a simple guy
Dm C
I tried my best to smile but deep inside my heart
Em
I felt it was shouting like a crowd dancing

I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is

Everybody's dancing oh yeah

Tonight everything is over

I feel too young


I can't lie on my bed without thinking I was wrong
But when this feeling calls this world becomes another
Nighttime won't hold me in your arms again
I got a very good friend who says he can't believe the love I give
Is not enough to end your fears
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is

Can't you hear me calling oh yeah
Everybody's shaking oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young
 C Dm Em Dm C

Oh rainfalls and hard times coming they won't leave me tonight
I wish I knew what I was doing
Just Do let this spirit survive

Everybody's dancing oh yeah

I guess I couldn't live without the things that

verse:  F Am C Am

Chorus: F Am G G 

Falling part: same as verse

Counting all different ideas drifting away
Past and present -- they don't matter.
Now the future's sorted out
Watch, you're moving in elliptical pattern
Think it's not what you say
What you say is way too complicated
For a minute thought I couldn't tell how to fall out.

It's 20 seconds 'til the last call, going "hey hey hey hey hey hey"
Lie down, you know it's easy like we did it all summer long
And I'll be anything you ask and more, going "hey hey hey hey hey hey"
It's not a miracle we needed, and no I wouldn't let you think so
Falling, falling, falling, falling

Girlfriend, you know your girlfriend's drifting away
Past and present, 1855-1901
Watch them build up a material tower
Think it's not gonna stay anyway
Think it's overrated
For a minute, thought I couldn't tell how to fall out

It's 20 seconds to the last call, going "hey hey hey hey hey"
Lie down, you know it's easy, like we did it all summer long
And I'll be anything you ask and more, going "hey hey hey hey hey"
It's not a miracle we needed, and no, I wouldn't let you think so
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling

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,

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:

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.

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.
