D                         Em
Don't know what to do anymore
     G                                  D
I've lost the only love worth fighting for
                           Em         G
I'll drown in my tear storming sea, that would show you,
                    D
that would make you hurt like me
           Em   G                         D
All the same,     I don't want mud-slinging games
             Em     G
it's just a shame to let you walk away


D
Is there a chance,
               G
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel, a reason to fight,
D                                    G
Is there a chance you may change your mind
                         D   Em   G
or are we ashes and wine?


      D                        Em
Don't know if our fate's already sealed
     G                           D
This day's a spinning circus on a wheel
                                 Em
I'm ill with the thought of your kiss
G                          D
Coffee-laced, intoxicating on her lips
        Em  G                        D
Shut it out, I've got no claim on you now
        Em              G
I'm not allowed to wear your freedom down


D
Is there a chance,
               G
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel, a reason to fight,
D                                     G
Is there a chance you may change your mind
                         D
or are we ashes and wine?

     Bm     G   D
I'll tear myself away, if that what you need
         G       D       G
There is nothing left to say, but


D
Is there a chance,
               G
A fragment of light at the end of the tunnel, a reason to fight,

Is there a chance you may change your mind
                         D

reduced to ashes and wine

Intro: Am, F x2

          Am 
Your fingertips across my skin 
               F
The palm trees swaying in the wind 
   Am              F
Images 
            Am
You sang me Spanish lullabies
             F 
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
       Am
Clever trick 

        G                       C
Well, I never want to see you unhappy
  F                                G
I thought you'd want the same for me 

[Chorus] 
C
 Goodbye, my almost lover 
G
 Goodbye, my hopeless dream 
Am
 I'm trying not to think about you 
F
 Can't you just let me be? 
C
 So long, my luckless romance
G 
 My back is turned on you 
Am
 Should've known you'd bring me heartache
F                    C 
 Almost lovers always do 

F            Am
  We walked along a crowded street 
            F
You took my hand and danced with me 
   Am F
Images 
             Am
And when you left, you kissed my lips 
                      F
You told me you would never, never forget
         Am    F
These images, no

          G                       C
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy 
  F                               G
I thought you'd want the same for me 

Chorus (same chords)
 
G
Am                   G
 I cannot go to the ocean
                              Am 
I cannot drive the streets at night
                           F
I cannot wake up in the morning 
                  Am
Without you on my mind 
                                G
Well so you're gone and I'm haunted 
                       F
And I bet you are just fine 

(Hold F)

Did I make it that 
Easy to walk right in and out 
      G
Of my life? 

Chorus (same chords)

Bomb In A Birdcage

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#
I'm going where the people know my name

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.

when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E

A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song

to remind yourself that you forgot

repeats.
