Intro (G-A#-G-A#-G-A#-D-C-A#-G)x2


G                         Am                   
This car is a war machine that runs on nicotine and gasoline
C                            D         
D-d-d-don't you fucking know this is the wrong side of the road?
G         D                         Em       C
Who needs brakes when it's all down-hill from here?
B                       C    D
And if we ain't died yet then maybe we never will
G                 A#                   C           D#      F
But I don't wanna burn out, so won't you please set me on fire again?
G                 A#                   C           D#      F
I woke up afraid of losing everything; thank god that I already have
G                 A#                   C           D#      F
So if you love me then listen: mind your own fucking business!
G                 A#                   C           D#      F
If you love me enough to stay, then please love me enough to stay...

Intro:(D-A#-G-A#-G-A#-D-C-A#-D)x2
enough to stay away

G                        Am  
I swear on my last cigarette that I'd love you my 
      C                       D      G 
d-d-darling I'd love you if I could, but since the day I was born
 Am                           C                       D
It's been too late for me to be anything but what I am tonight
G                 D                     Em           C
And what I am is drunk and what I am is mean in your passenger seat
B                                          C                D
Seat belts are for people who have time to die; hell, I don't even have time to sleep
G                      A#              C         D#          F
Because I don't wanna miss a moment of loathing everything that I see
G          A#               C            D#                         F
I stay up nights afraid of everything, 'til all that's left is the shadows and me
G          A#                    C       D#           F
Ask me from sunrise to sunset: no, I ain't left the house yet
G       A#                      C       D#           F
I finally love you enough to stay... enough to stay away

Bridge ( G A# D# F)
G   B     C                   D
Aw shit, I wish I had a job to quit
G        B              C               D
I wish I had a boss that I could tell to fuck off
G           B           C             D
Give me the satisfaction of a dramatic exit
        G                B                  C                D
And not just a long car ride and a short goodbye in a parking lot
Intro once.

Intro: [A E D] x2

Verse: [A E D]

A          E          D
     The trains roll by my porch

A               E           D
Down here where nothing can live

              A           E
And I've been smoking too much

         F#m      D
Because I am no exception

    A           E        D
You knew that already, I think

If you want salvation
Then you ought to go see a priest
'Cause forgiveness from those that we hurt
In this world never was guaranteed

Chorus: [A F#m E D]

    A                 F#m
I'm coming home, it's late again

            E         D
I'm high as I've ever been

       A                  F#m
You're sitting up, you're in our bed

       E              D
Crying for a ghost again

   A                F#m
No room could be as dark

         E          D
Or as empty as ours is

       A               F#m
'Cause I'm at home but I'm not here

    E       D
And I never am

Verse: [A E D]

I wonder how many friends
Roll past my house in the night?
In boxcars they sleep
With hearts stashed in their backpacks
They'll make California all right
A promise from me
Is just a lie I ain't told yet
So I'm ready to die
But I'm not willing to watch
You watch me die here in our bed

Chorus: [A F#m E D]

I'm lying down, I've been nodding out
Since I don't know when
The lights are on, you're standing up
Screaming at a ghost again
Darling, I'm home; hell I ain't left
This house of ours in days
But I'm not here; I never am
So I just can't stay

Outro: [A F#m D E]

   A            F#m            D
My darling, I'm never coming back

               E
From where I'm going

   A            F#m           D     
My darling, I'm never coming home

   A            F#m           D
My darling, I'm never coming back

                E
From where I'm going

   A            F#m           D
My darling, I'm never coming home

      E              
Never coming home again

maybe too young to ask what's on my mind.

Dm                     C                   A
i'll know just what he means until i hit a vein.
A#                Dm                        A                               Dm
but after that i won't have to bother with knowing who i am, for a while at least.
A#                     Dm
in a moment the whole world is gonna melt around me,
A
and i'll swear i don't miss it as a i lie to you tonight.
F            A                 Dm           A#
because i'm afraid to look the world in the eye.
F            A                  Dm               A#
if nothing's gonna change, well, then i'd rather die.
F                         A
and i'm too unemployed to organize a union;
    Dm              A#
i'm too intoxicated to tear down a building.
F                   A
i'm too hopeless to look for a solution;
    Dm
i'm afraid that if i found one,
    A#                         F
i'd be out of excuses for the way i waste away
       A                         Dm                        A#
in the gutters that i chose like fashion accessories to go with my dirty clothes.
  F                                 A                              Dm
i haven't bathed in months, but you know it's not because i've been fighting bourgeois morals:
          A#
i'm just lazy and i'm young.

Dm                                  A
i've seen the best minds of my generation dying drunk or high from the rooftops to the 
parking lots,
Dm                   C                  A
stomped to death in west philadelphian squats.
Dm                                          A
they've got me waiting on a day when we can say “fuck the police!” with a little bit of integrity,
Dm                       C                            A
when it will mean: “i've got your back if you've got mine!”
A#                     Dm                    A               Dm
give me a scene where i believe in more than bad hair cuts, guilt, and misery.
A#                                    Dm
i don't know where i fit between the vegans and the nihilists.
A
that might be the first thing i've said that wasn't a lie tonight.
F                        A                         Dm              A#
because there's gotta be something more than lying in the front yard, naked, screaming 
at the constellations.
F                             A                     Dm                    A#
i want something more than an apology to say when i look the world in the eye.
                    F                                 A
i'll tell you, man, my friend william came to me with a message of hope.
      Dm                          A#
it went: “fuck you and everything that you think you know.
   F                          A                                                        Dm      A# 
if you don't step outside the things that you believe they're gonna kill you.”

he said: “no one's gonna stop you from dying young, and miserable, and right,
                          A#
but if you want something better, you gotta put that shit aside.”
F                       A                        Dm                 A#
i thought about how for thousands of years there have been people who told us that 
things can't go on like this:
F                       A
from jesus chris to the diggers,
                Dm
from malthus to zerzan,
                 A#
from karl marx to huey newton,
                  F             A             Dm            A#
but the shit goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on


C                        A#
now, i'm not saying that we can't change the world,
        F         C               Dm             A#
because everybody does at least a little bit of that.
   Dm            A           A#                      F
but i won't shit myself: the way i'm living is a temper tantrum
     D                     A                    A#            C
and i need something else, need something else, need something else to stay alive.


 Jam: F  A  Dm  A#  F  A  Dm  C  A#  A  F  G 


A#                       Dm                      A                               Dm
and on the night that i play my last show, i'll be singing so loud that my heart explodes.
A#                        Dm                      A
and i'll be singing, and i'll be singing: we are free!
A#            Dm                      A                        Dm
oh, but won't you promise me that we won't ever forget what the means?
A#                   Dm                    A
i know it's hard to give a shit sometimes, but promise me we'll always try.
A#                     Dm                          A
because i don't wanna hate you, and i don't wanna hate me,
A#           Dm                 A
and i don't wanna have to hate everything anymore.

G                       D
I don't believe in heaven, I do believe in hell
C                               D
It's down the street from here, And we both lived there for years
G                               D                                C
We burned the calendars for warmth, And the alarm clocks just for fun
                               D
We closed the blinds to make goddamn sure
                        C
That we could never see the sun
                        A#
You could set a watch by the bottle returns
        Em              C                       G       B
And the ashtrays overflowing on the floor
Em              G               C               D       D...
Nothing's free but time when you're so damn poor
G                               Em
But the past was death row, And the future's a battlefield 
C                               D
I hope we choose the right war 
G                                       Em
Because I've been fist fighting gravity, Since the day I learned how to breathe 
C                                       D
And I still wake up On the same cold floor i fell asleep on
G               D               C       C
So I won't, but we shall overcome someday 
G               D               C       C
I can't do it alone, but I shall be free someday 
G               D               Em                      C
I don't know how to live But I'm sick of learning how to die

We made our own postal system, To cross the continent
C                               D
As long as freight trains run And loners pick up dreamers with thumbs
                G
Who needs governments to get a letter to you 
                D
Or a mixtape to me, or a postcard to Johnstown? 
        C
What's a thousand miles between friends? 
        D
What's a friend that's not worth crossing a country? 
        G               D
But I owe money and broken hearts 
                        C
From Philly to Sydney and back to Vermont

(yeeeah) I regret a million things

And that's only what I haven't forgot
G                               Em
But the past was a mine field, And right now is a prison break
C                               D
I hope we make it alive
G                               Em
When who we are doesn't stop where the law begins 
C                               D
Then we'll storm their court houses to survive
G               D       C               C
So I won't, but we shall overcome someday
G               D       C               C
I can't do it alone, but we shall be free someday
G               D               Em                      C
I don't know how to live But I'm sick of learning how to die

a bomb shelter for us to ride out the war in

Who Are You Friends Gonna Be?

Verse 1:

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:

Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#

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

Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear

Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:

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,

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

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.

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.
