Night on the Sun

           Am              G                 F 
There's no work in walking in to fuel the talk
                Am             G        F    
I would grab my shoes and then away I'd walk
                         Am             G      F
Through all the stubborn beauty I start at the dawn
                  Am                             
Until the sun had fully stopped
      G       F 
Never walking away from
                   Am 
Just a way to pull apart
          G         F
Dehydrate back into minerals
                    Am      G      F       
A life long walk to the same exact spot

F                   Am G F    
Carbon's anniversary
F                         Am G F
The parting of the sensory
F              Am G F
Old old mystery
F                                   
The parting of the sensory

Am      G                 F             
Who the hell made you the boss?
Am            G                      F 
We placed our chips in all the right spots
F
But still lost
Am  G                     F       
Any shithead who had ever walked
Am             G                        F  
Could take the ship and do a much finer job
Am            G                   F         
This fit like clothes made out of wasps
Am  G                 F             
Aw, fuck it I guess I lost

Am G F

F                         Am G F
The parting of the sensory
F                    A G F
Carbon's anniversary
F                               Am G F
Just part it again if you please
F                              
Carbon's anniversary

Am      G                 F    
Who the hell made you the boss
Am                 G                     F  
If you say what to do I know what not to stop
Am              G                            F
If you were the ship then who would ever get on
Am          G                  F       
The weather changed it for the worse
Am            G                      F
And came down on us like it had been rehearsed
Am                    G                  F
And like we hope, but change will surely come
Am               G                        F
And be awful for most but really good for some
Am        G                     F       
I took a trip to the exact same spot
Am                              G          F   
We pulled the trigger, but we forgot to cock
F
And every single shot
Am  G                  F       
Aw, fuck it I guess we lost

Am G F

Am
Some day you will die and
        G                               F
Somehow something's going to steal your carbon
Am
Some day you will die and
        G                               F  
Somehow something's going to steal your carbon
Am
Well some day you will die somehow and
G                               F
Something's going to steal your carbon
Am
Some day you will die and
          G                              F 
Someone's or something's will steal your carbon
Am
Some day something will die and 
    G
Somehow you'll figure out how
F
Often you will die somehow and

Something going to steal your carbon
Am
Well some day you will die somehow and
G                               F  
Something's going to steal your carbon

          Am                            G             F
And I don't think that there was an insult that was missed

        Am               G         C               F
I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and

We were spitting venom at most everyone we know

If the damned gave us a road map then we'd know just were to go
           Am
Now let it drop
           C
Let it all drop
           G
Let it all drop
          F
Oh let it all fall off
     Am
Well you were talking soda pop
         C
You were talking quite a lot
     G 
The opinions that I do not give
     F
The opinions I ain't got
          Am
So let it drop

Well you were spitting venom at most everyone you know
       G                            F
If you truly knew the gravity you'd know just where to go
            Am
Well let it drop
       C 
Let it drop
           G

My ears were pressed so firmly right against your mouth to hear
         G                                F
When you tried to spit the venom out your words were not so clear
    Am       C       G      F
Now drop
Am         C
Hold on to what you need
G                     F
We've got a knack for fucked up history
Am         C
Hold on to what you need
G                     F
We've got a knack for messed up history
Am

     C                                                        G
Both looking one direction and waiting for a train of thought over
        F
Thought over
         Am 
I didn't know you kept track I didn't know there was a score
        C
Well it looks like your the winner and I ain't gonna play no more
     G
It's over
     F
Game over
        Am
Well we walked real stiff and our canes hit the ground
    C
You hit me with yours and said, "You're gonna stare me down"
     G
It's over
        F
Oh it's over
        Am 
You can say what you want but don't act like you care

Think it over

Am  C   G  F

Am                              C
You were spitting venom at most everyone you know

If the damned gave you a road map then you'd know just where to go
      Am                                 C
So we carried all the groceries in while hauling out the trash
       G                                 F
And if this doesn't make us motionless I do not know what can
       Am               
What a rotten thing to say such an awful thing to say
  C
I didn't mean to bite you, sorry
  G                                   F
I always did what I always did what I always had to sling
          Am
So let it drop
           C
Let it all drop
           G
Let it all drop
          F 
Oh let it all fall off

D          Bm             Em            G                        Em
Well, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.

G A

A               Bm            D                   Em
I was patiently erasing and recording the wrong episodes
Em 
After you had proved my point wrong,
C                          Em             G       Em
It wasn't like I'd let it go, oh-oh-oh. Oh-oh-oh.
Em                Bm             G             Em
I just wanted to catch the last laugh of this show.
Bm G A Bm G A

A        Bm                            G                             A
Yeah, it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.
A       Bm                G                           A
Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio.
A
(The dashboard melted, but we ran it good, we ran it good)
A     Bm                     G                 Bm
Hard-wired to conceive, so much we'd have to stow it
Em                            A                     D
Even needs have needs, tiny giants made of tinier giants.
D                         D                           Em
Don't wear eyelids so I don't miss the last laugh of this show.
Em                             D
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
D        G                                                      A
Oh, we could've been, should've been worse than you would ever know.

(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)

Well, you told me about nowhere well it sounds like someplace I'd like to go-oh-oh-oh-oh.
G           D
Now here we go!
         Bm                           D
Well we scheme and we scheme but we always blow it
        A                  
We've yet to crash, but we still might as well tow it
A          Bm                       D
Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon,
D        A            D
Every dawn you're surprising,
            Em             D
and in the evening one's consoling
        Bm             G        D
Saying "See it wasn't quite as bad as"
Em                    G                    Bm
Oh it would've been, could've been worse than you would ever know.

Dashboard

# This is just the chorus. The rest of the song follows the same chords.


D          A                   G
Oh, and we carried it all so well

G
As if we got a new position 

D          A                      G
Oh, and we laugh all the way to Hell

G
Saying, "Yes this is a fine promotion"

D         Gbm                    G
Oh, and I laugh all the way to Hell

Missed The Boat

We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank

G                                   D
Eating snow flakes with plastic forks
 
                                       
And a paper plate of course

Am            C
You think of everything


G                         D
Short love with a long divorce

 
And a couple of kids, of course

Am                   C
They don't mean anything


G                          D
Live in trailers with no class


God damn, I hope I can pass

Am                  C    
High school means nothing


G                           D
Taking heartache with hard work


God damn, I am such a jerk

Am           C
I can't do anything


G D Am C   x2


G                             D
And I shout that you're all fakes

                                         Am
And you should've seen the look on your face

                             C
And I guess that's what it takes

                           G
When comparing your belly aches



G                     D
And it's been a long time

                                Am
Which agrees with this watch of mine

                        C
And I guess that I miss you

                           G
and I'm sorry if I dissed you

Bankrupt On Selling

Polar opposites don't push away
C                    G               F           C
It's the same on the weekends as the rest of the days
C                  G            F       C
And I know I should go but I'll probably stay
C                   G            F    C
And that's all you can do about some things

I'm tryin' I'm Tryin' 
to drink away the part of the day
That I cannot sleep away (2x)

Two one eyed dogs, they're looking at stereos
Hi-fi Gods try so hard to make their cars low to the ground
These vibrations oil its teeth
Primer gray is the color when you're done dying

I'm tryin' I'm Tryin'
to drink away the part of the day
That I cannot sleep away

Lyrics:

Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on the exactly the same day
Well we'll float on good news is on the way

And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Now don't worry we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Alright don't worry we'll all float on

And we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Aliright don't worry even if things end up a bit to heavy
we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Ok don't worry we'll all float on
Even if things get heavy we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Don't you worry we'll all float on
All float on

Float On

# this song is pretty easy

G
Ice-age heat wave, can't complain.
      C
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Em
Walked away to another plan.
Cm
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.
 G                            C
I move on to another day, to a whole new town with a whole new way.
Em
Went to the porch to have a thought.
Cm
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop.
   G
You don't know where and you don't know when.
       C
But you still got your words and you got your friends.
Em
Walk along to another day.
Cm
Work a little harder, work another way.

    G
Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.
     C
We'll float on maybe would you understand?
     Em
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?
         Cm
Well I'll float on maybe would you understand?

   G
The days get shorter and the nights get cold.
 C
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.
 Em
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.
 Cm
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most.
   G
The day's get longer and the nights smell green.
 C
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.

 G
I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
    C
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Em
Walked on off to another spot.
 Cm
I still haven't got anywhere that I want.
     G
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
    C
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?


   G
The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.
C
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.
Em
Outside, water like air was great.
 Cm
I didn't know what I had that day.
G
Walk a little farther to another plan.
   C
You said that you did, but you didn't understand.

Em   Cm   G   Em

 G
I know that starting over is not what life's all about.
      C
But my thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
  C
My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
  Cm                      G
My thoughts were so loud.

World At Large

I got these chords off of Ultimate-Guitar.com, so all the credit goes to their original author on the Ultimate-Guitar Archive, I just posted them here because it's a good song and people were requesting it.

It's the same three chords repeated throughout the song, so once you figure out the strum pattern it's pretty easy.

Here we go!
 Bb  						    F
Got dirt, got air, got water and I know you can carry on.
 Bb			                                   F
Shrug off shortsighted false excitement and oh what can I say?
 Bb							F
Have one, have twenty more "one mores" and oh it does not relent.
 Bb				     F
The good times are killing me.
 Bb
Kick butt buzz-cut dickheads
				F
who didn't like what I said.
				   Bb
The good times are killing me.

Jaws clenched tight we talked all night,
					F
oh but what the hell did we say?

The good times are killing me.
Bb
The good times are killing me.
F
The good times are killing me.

Gm			  F
Fed up with all that LSD.
Gm					     F
Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamines.
Gm					  F
Late nights with warm, warm whiskey.
Gm						     F
I guess the good times they were all just killing me.

Bb                                                 F
Got dirt, got air, got water and I know you can carry on.
 Bb			      F

Have one, have twenty more "one mores" and oh it does not relent.
 Bb							F
The good times are killing me.
 Bb					
Shit-kicker city slickers 
F
who all wanted me dead.
Bb			F
The good times are killing me.

Get sucked in and stuck in late nights
F
with more folks that I don't know.

The good times are killing me.

The Good Times Are Killing Me

Intro

Cm  Bb  Ab  Ab

Cm
Woke up this morning and it seemed to me, 
Bb 
that every night turns out to be 
Ab
A little more like Bukowski. 
Ab
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read. 
Cm
But God who'd wanna be? 
Bb                         Ab
God who'd wanna be such an asshole? 
Cm
God who'd wanna be? 
Bb                         Ab
God who'd wanna be such an asshole? 

Cm
Well we sat on the edge of the river 
Bb
the crowd screamed, "Sacrifice the liver!" 
Ab
If God takes life, he's an Indian giver.
Ab
So tell me now why, you'll tell me never. 
Cm
Who would wanna be? 
Bb                         Ab
Who would wanna be such a control freak? 
Cm

Bb                         Ab
Who would wanna be such a control freak? 

Cm                          Bb                 Ab
Well see what you wanna see. You should see it all.
Cm                              Bb              Ab
Well take what you want from me. You deserve it all.
Cm                   Bb                     Ab
Nine times out of ten our hearts just get dissolved.
Cm                        Bb                       Ab
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
Cm                     Bb               Ab
But one time out of ten, everything is perfect for us all. 
Cm                        Bb                       Ab
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall. 

Here we go! 
Cm
If God controls the land and disease, 
Bb
keeps a watchful eye on me, 
Ab
If he's really so damn mighty, 
Ab
my problem is I can't see, 
Cm
well who would wanna be? 
Bb                         Ab
Who would wanna be such a control freak? 
Cm
Well who would wanna be? 
Bb                         Ab
Who would wanna be such a control freak? 

Cm   Bb   Ab 
Evil home stereo, 
Cm        Bb           Ab

Cm   Bb            Ab
Evil me, oh yeah I know, 
Cm        Bb             Ab
what good curves can you throw? 
Cm                      Bb
Well all that icing and all that cake, 
Ab
I can't make it to your wedding, but I'm sure I'll be at your wake. 
Cm                         Bb
You were talk, talk, talk, talkin' in circles that day, 
Ab
when you get to the point make sure that I'm still awake, OK? 

Cm
Went to bed and didn't see 
Bb
why every day turns out to be 
Ab
a little bit more like Bukowski. 
Ab
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read. 
Cm 
But God who'd wanna be? 
Bb                         Ab
God who'd wanna be such an asshole?

#Hammer on the d on the Dadd9#

Dadd9
Oh gotta see, gotta know right now
What's that riding on your everything?

G
It isn't anything at all
Oh gotta see, gotta know right now

Dadd9
What's that writing on your shelf
In the bathrooms and the bad motels?

G
No one really cared for it at all
Not the gravity plan

Dadd9
Early, early in the morning
It pulls all on down my sore feet

G
I wanna go back to sleep



(switch your strum to singles)
Dadd9
In the motions and the things that you say
G
It all will fall, fall right into place
Dadd9
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
G
Everything will fall right into place
Dadd9
When we die, some sink and some lay
G
But at least I don't see you float away
Dadd9
And all the spilt milk, sex and weight
G
It all will fall, fall right into place

#rinse, lather, repeat#

Lampshades On Fire

Strangers to Ourselves

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,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
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:
                      E              B
Let's 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

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

Overreacting

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

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.
