Mando Diao are a rock band from Borlänge, Sweden. According to the band, the name Mando Diao has no meaning at all, but rather appeared to band member Bj&ouml;rn Dixg&aring;rd in a dream. Their sound is influenced by The Animals and Oasis.  The roots of Mando Diao date back to 1995 when Björn Dixgård was a member of a band called Butler. Band members came and went;  four years later, the remaining line-up chose to proceed more seriously in their musical efforts. Björn Dixgård and Gustaf Nor&eacute;n locked themselves up in a summer house and spent six months writing songs.

Mando Diao est un groupe de rock garage originaire de Borlänge en Suède et créé en 1995, serait issu d'un rêve de Björn Dixgård.  En 1995, Björn Dixgård est membre d'un groupe nommé Butler dont les membres vont et viennent: ils décident de monter un groupe plus sérieux. Björn Dixgård et Gustaf Norén passent alors six mois à écrire des chansons. En 1999, le groupe rebaptisé Mando Diao effectue alors leurs premiers concerts publics dans des clubs de leur ville natale Borlänge. On dira d'eux qu'ils sont le meilleur groupe non signé, ce qui arrivera aux oreilles de la maison de disque EMI Sweden. 

Mando Diao ist eine schwedische Rock-Band aus Borlänge, die 1999 gegründet wurde.  Mitte der 1990er gründeten Björn Dixgård und der erste Mando Diao-Keyboarder Daniel Haglund, die beide aus dem schwedischen Borlänge stammen, ihre erste gemeinsame Band Butler, die 1999 in Mando Diao umbenannt werden sollte. 2004 verlie

It's all there in my fantasy
 
And I believe it 


Verse 2:

And it makes me want to go and hide 
This world is full of misery, the anger is too big to see 
That's why I had to dream this dream

Dressed in black an equipped with fire 
They can stop our happy days and put us in the graves 
But never reach the ochrasy

I didn't feed the old umbrella, 
        B             F#    A#
I was feeding my old self 
            D#m             A#m
I catch the old spark cinderella, 
         B                F#    A#
she was longing for james dean. 
              G#m
She was that high-heeled girl, 
        C#                     F#        D#m
which shakes and twirls, and twiggy cigarettes. 
             G#m
And all the papers, they said the queen is dead 
    A#
but she just blew my mind 

And so she's dancing at the disco, with her new pair of shoes 
The guys girls wanna have her 
cause she's looking kind of cute 
The tiny girl is all red, got money in bed and paper in her mind 
And all the children, they said Cindy is fake 
but she just blew my mind 

    D#m      A#m     B       F#       A#m                B     F#
And I don't want no morning lies, no, I just want summer all around (x2)


I believe in magic and I believe in space, 
I believe in mantras and in human race 
The tiny girl is all red, got money in bed and paper in her mind 
And all the children, they said Cindy is fake 
but she just blew my mind 

And I don't want no morning lies, no, I just want summer all around...

Dance With Somebody

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

I wheel my bike off the train,

Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight

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

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.

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

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.
