I'm not the type to boost as you know, thou it was me who brought them back together.
F        E        Am         E
He is so kind, and she is so clever.
    F          E           Am       F

I said more or less the same thing to him too, which wasn't true.

The last night on Maudlin Street
DEm
Goodbye house, goodbye stairs
EmBm7
I was born here and I was raised here
D6E G7,E
And I took some stick here

C, Cmaj7
Love at first sight
It may sound trite
G, G
But it's true, you know
C, Cmaj7
I could list the detail
Of everything you ever wore or said
G, G
Or how you stood the day
As we spent the 

EmBm7
last night On Maudlin Street
DEm
"Goodbye house, forever!"
EmBm7
I never stole a happy hour
D6E  G7, E 
Around here

C, CMaj7
Where the world's ugliest boy
G
Became what you see
C, Cmaj7G
Here I am - the ugliest man

Em          Bm7
Oh, the last night on Maudlin Street
D Em
Truly I do love you
Em  Bm7D6 E G7,E 
Oh, truly I do love you

C, CMaj7
When I sleep
 G
With that picture of you framed beside my bed
 C, Cmaj7
Oh, it's childish and it's silly
 G
But I think it's you in my room, by the bed
(...yes, I told you it was silly...)

EmBm7
And I know, I took strange pills
DEm
But I never meant to hurt you
EmBm7   D6E(G7,E)
Oh, truly I love you

C, CMaj7
Came home late one night
 G
Everyone had gone to bed
C,Cmaj7
But, you know, no-one stays up for you
I had sixteen stitches
 G
All around my head

EmBm7
Oh, the last bus I missed to Maudlin Street
DEm
So he drove me home in the Van
EmBm7D6E G7,E 
Complaining, "Women only like me for my mind..."

C,Camj7
Don't leave your torch behind
 G,G/F#
A power cut ahead; 1972, you know
 C, Cmaj7
And so we crept through the park
G
No, I cannot steal a pair of jeans off a clothesline
For you

Em       Bm7
But you ... without clothes
DEm
Oh, I could not keep a straight face
EmBm7
Me - without clothes ?
D6E(G7,E)
Well, a nation turns its back and gags...
E
I'm packed

C, Cmaj7
I am moving house
 G
A half-life disappears today
 C,Cmaj7
With "every hag waves me on"
 G
(secretly wishing me gone)
Well, I will be soon

DE
Ooh, I will be soon
DE
I will be soon
DE
I will be soon
DE
Will be soon, I will be soon
C, Cmaj7, G, bbb C, Cmaj7, G, 
Mmm ... I will be soon, I will be soon

EmBm7
There were bad times on Maudlin Street
DEm
They took you away in a police car
Em
Inspector - don't you know ?
    Bm7
Don't you care ?
 D6E(G7,E)
Don't you know - about Love ?

C  Cmaj7
Your gran died
And your mother died
 G
On Maudlin Street
 C, Cmaj7
In pain, and ashamed
With never time to say
 G
those special things ... oh 
  
EmBm7
I took the key from Maudlin Street
DEm
Well, it's only bricks and mortar !
EmBm7D6       E(G7,E)
Oh, oh, truly I love you

(E)
Oh, wherever you are
Wherever you are
C, Cmaj7
Wherever you are
 G
I hope you're singing now
C, Cmaj7
Oh, I do hope 
 G
I hope you're singing now

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

And I don’t know where I’m going but can you guide me
C#m              E        B        A              C#m   E   B   A

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

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
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

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
Bm                   A

Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A

    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

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say

May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

Crash Years

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

  E
I used to think I was strong
    A
But lately I just lost the fight

Chorus:
D         A       E          A
Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?
D          
 For a little while
D         A       E          A
Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?
D                    E
 For a little while

      A
I got tired of bein? good
        D
Started missing that old feeling free
     E
Stop actin? like I thought I should
    A
And went on back to bein? me

  
I never meant to hurt no one
  D
I just had to have my way
           E
If there's such a thing as too much fun
A
This must be the price you pay

Chorus:
D         A       E          A
Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?
D          
 For a little while
D         A       E          A
Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?
D
 For a little while
E                 A                D
 You never see it comin? till it?s gone
E                     A           D
 It all happens for a reason even when it?s wrong
  E
Especially when it?s wrong

Chorus:
D         A       E          A
Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?
D          
 For a little while
D         A       E          A
Funny how fallin? feels like flyin?
D                    E
 For a little while

      A
I was goin? where I shouldn?t go
D
Seein? who I shouldn?t see
E
Doin? what I shouldn?t do
    A
And bein? who I shouldn?t be
