G                C             G                  D
you were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday
 G             C                  G
it seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane
G        C             G                   D
what is it about you that has commandeered my brain?
G                       C                     G
maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way
Em
when I look at your face I can tell that you're not going to be stopping soon or even slowing
G
down
Em
and if we keep up this pace pretty soon we'll know the name of every kid and every grown up
                             G
booking house shows in their town

G        C         G               D
and if home is really where the heart is
G        C            G
then wer're the smartest kids I know
G          C          G                  D
because wherever we are in this great big world
G                C                  G
we'll never be more than a few hours from home
G       C               G                D
and that's important because I need to travel
G                C                         G
I've had this itchin in my shoes since I was just a little kid
G            C                    G               D
and before I had a mini van I road the Greyhound bus
G         C                    G
my mom would say "I hope some day you get paid for being Kimya Dawson"

G                     Am
and now I do and it's not much
Bm
but it's enough
G                               C                                D
I've got my Scrabble game, food on my plate, good friends and family
G                   C                 G                 D
and now there's you understanding why I do the things I do
G                  C                             D
knowing that you do them too makes me really happy

G
on the road again
                                        Bm
just can't wait to get on the road again
                                      Am
the life I love is makin' music with my friends
        C                         G
and I can't wait to get on the road again

G
on the road again
                                    Bm
just can't wait to get on the road again
                                      Am
the life I love is makin' music with my friends
      C                                G
and I can't wait to get on the road again

G             C            D              Em
from a distance, the world looks blue and green
 C             D             G
and the snow capped mountains white
G                C         D            Em
from a distance, the ocean meets the stream
   C       D             G
and the eagle takes to flight

(whispered)
G(barely even a chord thing, more like hitting the g-string)
Darkness imprisoning me

All that I see

Absolute horror

I cannot live

I cannot die

Trapped in myself

Body my holding cell

G              C
do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do
do do do do do do do
G                C
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
G          D           C
I'll be love's suicide
G             C
I'll be do do do do do do
G                      D          C
I'll be the greatest man of your life

G          C                  G           D
'cause I like going for hikes and riding bikes
G                    C                  G
and playing video games in the middle of the night
G         C               G         D
and I'll stay up late and I wont even care
G                C                G
that we're getting up early to go to the state fair
G               C                    G             D
I'm gonna ride the biggest ride it'll be out of sight
G                   C                      G
then I'll share an elephant ear with you if you'd like
G            C                G            D
because we are alive so we've gotta live life
G                  C                       G
to the fullest you spin the bottle and I'll dim the lights
(talk-sing)
four five six seven minutes in the closet

G      C             G                        D
you were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday
G         C                 G
it seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane
G         C            G                     D
what is it about you that has commandeered my brain?
G               C                           G
maybe it's your awesome songs or maybe it's the way
Em
you go straight to the top you're not scared of getting squashed

you know just when to jump off
G
you're so brave
Em
and then you run to the right it seems there's no hope in sight

                                          G
and you drop down to the tube that takes you right to level eight

G                                C
life is a highway and I'm gonna ride it
D
every day's a winding road yeah
G                                   C

D

My Rollercoaster

G
The flower said I wish I was a tree
C
The tree said I wish I could be
D
A different kind of tree
G
The cat wished that it was a bee

G
The turtle wished that it could fly
C
Really high into the sky
D
Over rooftops and then dive
G
Deep into the sea

G
And in the sea there is a fish
C
A fish that has a secret wish
D
A wish to be a big cactus
G
With a pink flower on it

G
And in the sea there is a fish
C
A fish that has a secret wish
D
A wish to be a big cactus
G
With a pink flower on it

G
And the flower
             C
Would be its offering
   D           G
Of love to the desert

And the desert
           C
So dry and lonely
D
That the creatures all
               G
Appreciate the effort

G      Em
I found a love for me
               C                         D
Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead
                G                 Em
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
                   G                         Em
But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

               G                    Em
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
