Am		 G                     C
I woke up this morning to a blood-red sky
Am               G                      C
Burning on the bridge, turning off the lights
Am		        G               C
We're on the run I can see it in your eyes

You call me your boy but I'm trying to be the man
Am                     G                      F
One more day and it's all sleeping with the sand
Am                     G                   F
You touch my lips and grab the back of my hand

The back of my hand.

Am                         G             C
I guess we both know we're in over our heads
Am 		      G                      C
We've got nowhere to go and no home that's left

The water is rising on a river turning red

Grab your bags and a picture of where we met

All that we leave behind is all that's left

All I Need

Renaissance by Mat Kearney from the album "Nothing Left To Lose"
Chords Used: 
Bm G D Asus4
Standard Tuning: 

Intro: Bm G D Asus4 (2X) 
VERSE 1: Bm G D Asus4 (6X)
Bm
This is my renaissance
G			
This is my one response
D                                  Asus4
This is the way I say I love you
Bm
This is my second chance
G
This is my one romance
D               
This is the cutting line
Asus4
On which I stand to show you
Bm
It happened fast in a flash just this evening
G
I hit the gas, horn blast, brakes screaming
D
Car crash, broken glass, broke my dreaming
Asus4
I hit the dash so fast my ears are ringing
Bm
My sister's on the right side just slightly leaning
G
I grabbed her hand hard until she started breathing
D
My brother's in the back jaw cracked from the beating
Asus4
The breath in my chest has slipped and I'm sinking
Bm
Blinking through diamond spider webs of cracked glass
G
I'm trying to remember all the words you said in the past
D
Through the ash, siren screams and red beams
Asus4
I hear you sing softly to me

CHORUS: D G Asus4 D (2X)
D
I can be the wall when you fall down
G
Find me on the rocks when you break down

Asus4
I heard it in the song when you call out
D
But I got to say now it's got to change (REPEAT)

BREAK: Bm G D Asus4 (1X)
Bm
This is my broken heart
G
This is my bleeding start
D                                           Asus4
This is the way I've come to know you
Bm
This is my winding road
G
This is my way back home
D                                           Asus4
This is the narrow door you know that I will walk through

VERSE 2: Bm G D Asus4 (4X)
Bm
I got a letter today of why she went away
G
She said, it's better this way, you know I never could stay
D
Half empty closets and frames, all that's left to my name
Asus4
As she left in the rain and left my heart on a chain
Bm
Three years I've built this two-face tower for hours on a lease
G
You gave me one yellow flower that said rest in peace
D
In pieces I've broken open to think too much or just enough
Asus4
Alone to trust midst the rubble and the dust
Bm
Humbled, it took this much to break down and understand
G
Spent my life this far on castles made of sand
D
Tossed in the breakers in the palm of your hand
Asus4
Now I can finally stand

CHORUS: D G Asus4 D (4X)
D
I can be the wall when you fall down
G
Find me on the rocks when you break down
Asus4
I heard it in the song when you call out
D
But I got to say now it's got to change
D                                        G
I can be the wall.............
Asus4                                 D
I heard it in the song.................
D			       G
I can be the wall.....................
Asus4 			       D
I heard it in the song.....................

Bm 	G	D	Asus4 (2X)

Bm
This is my renaissance
G
This is my one response
D                              Asus4
This is the way I say I love you.

End on Asus4

               F                          C
push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us

come on and we'll try, one last time
               F                         C
I'm off of the floor     one more time to find you
Dm                                     C
and here we go there's nothing left to choose

and here we go there's nothing left to lose

     Am
So I packed my car and headed east
        C
where I felt your fire and a sweet release
          F                                 C
there's a fire in these hills that's coming down
      Am
and I don't know much but I found you here
      C 
and I cannot wait another year
           F                                     C
don't know where your coming from but you coming soon

               Dm                      F
 to a kid from Oregon    by way of California
               Dm                             F
all of this is more than   I've ever known or seen

and here we go there's nothing left to lose


Dm                                   C
  I can still hear the trains out my window
Dm                                  C
  from Hobart street to here in Nashville
Dm                                    C
  I can still smell the pomegranates grow
Dm                               Dm   C    F
  And I don't know how hard this wind will blow

                   Em
Like ships in the night, 
                    C
you keep passing me by
                    G
We're just wasting time
            D
Trying to prove who's right
          Em                      C
And if it all goes crashing into the sea,
             G                     D
If its just you and me trying to find the light.

                   Em
Like ships in the night letting cannon balls flying,
              C
Say what you mean and turn to a fight 
             G
And fists fly from my mouth, it turns south, 
               D
you're down the driveway and I'm on the couch
         Em
Chasing dreams since the violent 5th grade,
            C
Trying to believe in your silent own way
               G
Cause we'll be okay, I'm not going away
                         D
like you watching at fourteen as it went down the drain
                     Em
And pops stayed the same, and your moms moved away
                 C
How many of our parents seemed to make it anyway?
            G
We're just fumbling through the grey,
               D
Trying find a heart that's not walking away.

             Em
I turn the lights down low
             C
Walk these halls alone
        G                 D
We can feel so far from so close


                   Em
Like ships in the night, 
                    C
you keep passing me by
                    G
We're just wasting time
            D
Trying to prove who's right
          Em                      C
And if it all goes crashing into the sea,
             G                     D
If its just you and me trying to find the light.
                     Em
Like ships in the night,
                      C
you keep passing me by.
                      G
You keep passing me by,
                      D
like ships in the night.


                 Em
And I'm at the airport waiting on a second plane,
        C
Had to pack, you had cramps and I was late
             G
Headed to a red carpet, they won't know my name
           D
Riding in silence all that we wanna say
          Em
About to board when you call on the phone
                C
You said, "I'm sorry I'll be waiting at home."
                  G
Feels like we're learning this out on our own
                   D
Trying to find our way down road we don't know.

             Em
I turn the lights down low
             C
Walk these halls alone
        G                 D
We can feel so far from so close

                   Em
Like ships in the night, 
                    C
you keep passing me by
                    G
We're just wasting time
            D
Trying to prove who's right
          Em                      C
And if it all goes crashing into the sea,
             G                     D
If its just you and me trying to find the light.

Like ships in the night,
                      C
you keep passing me by.
                      G
You keep passing me by,
                      D
like ships in the night.

Em                         C                   G    D              
  And I'm gonna find my way back to your side 
Em                         C                   G    D
  And I'm gonna find my way back to your side

De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas,

Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)

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

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

You were staying out all night and I had enough

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

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.

Arrows Of Eros

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
