Tonight the moon's so bright you could drive with your headlights out
A#                                         G#          Gm     Eb
'Cause a little bit of summer's what the whole year's all about

We can watch that borderline get higher and higher

You and me been catchin' on like a wildfire

CHORDS:

No, I've not seen you this way before

G7                    C     G 
Standin' a mess at my door 

C
Well, it took you so long

        C7      F
But you finally found

       C           G7               C
You're no one 'til someone lets you down

    C                            F
You believed that all people are kind

     G7                         C     G
That you'd never mess with your mind

        C           
And you gave her your trust

        C7          F
And she busted your crown

       C           G7               C
You're no one 'til someone lets you down

A7
Yes, I've been told

          Dm
That some people grow old

        G7                     C     E7 
Without losing a part of their soul

    A7
But if that is true

        Dm
I don't wish it on you

           G7                               G
There's so much to adore in a heart that is blue

There's a light in your eyes that is pure
But you won't give away anymore
But just think of the things
We can talk about now
You're no one 'til someone lets you down

[SOLO CHORDS: same as opening verse]

Yes, I have heard
There are some that avoid
All the pain that will come with the fall
But if that's the case
It would surely erase
All the joy that you feel
When the hurt fades away

There's a hard-ticket train on the way
Waitin' to take you away
Will you please keep in mind
When it pulls into town
You're no one 'til someone lets you down
You're no one 'til someone lets you down
You're no one 'til someone lets you down       [END]

Verse 1

The summer's over, this town is closing.
               G  D              A   D
They're waving people out of the ocean.
            G  D                 G   D
We had the feeling like we were floating.
         G   D                  A   D
We never noticed where time was going.

          G  D                G   D
Do you remember when we first got here?
              G  D                    A   D
The days were longer; the nights were hot here.
          G     D                 G   D
Now, it's September; the engine's starting.
             G  D             A     D   
You're empty-handed and heavy-hearted.


Chorus                   
                         G                   Bm
But just remember on the way home, (Oooh ooh ooh)
                             G
That you were never meant to feel alone.
G                 D          G         D
It takes a little while, but you'll be fine,
G            D           A        D (hold)
Another good time coming down the line.


Verse 2
A         D       A           D
You'll go back to love that's waiting,
A       D        A
I'll unpack in a rented room.
A          D        A            D
How's that life you swear you're hating?
A        D        A          D
Grass is greener, that makes two.


Chorus

     G       D       G           D
Just look me up; get back on the bus.

I'll see you next week if you need my trust.

You get forever but nobody at all.

That you don't ever have to feel alone.
G                D    G           D
Just stay on the run; get off the grid.
G             D            A           D
Hide yourself out like you know that I did,

And if you might find that you're running is done,

A little bit of Heaven never hurt no one.

On The Way Home

Intro: C  Bb  F  Dm  Bb and back to C.

C                 Bb                  F
It doesn't matter where you roam  
                   Dm
When no one's left to call you home
C                      Bb             F 
I might have strained a bit too far
                    Dm          Bb
I'm countin' all the moonlit stars

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                  Dm
I'm a little lost at sea
             Bb                  F
I'm a little birdie in a big old tree
Am                       Dm
Ain't nobody looking for me
                Bb         F
Here out on the highway

[Chorus]
              C
But I will be found
             Bb
But I will be found
                   F
When my time comes down
              C
But I will be found

(REPEATS INSTRUMENTAL INTRO)

C                      Bb         F
Somedays, I think it's all okay
                         Dm
Some nights, I throw it all away
C                  Bb             F
I saw her face and I could tell
                      Dm        Bb
My ghost had left the town as well


[PRE CHORUS]

[PRE CHORUS]
Am                  Dm
I'm a little lost at sea
             Bb                  F
I'm a little birdie in a big old tree
Am                       Dm
Ain't nobody looking for me
                Bb         F
Here out on the highway

Am                  Dm
Baby, I'm a runaway train
            Bb                   F
Baby, I'm a feather in a hurricane
Am                     Dm
Maybe it's a long grey game
                   Bb        F
But maybe that's a good thing


[CHORUS] C   Bb   F  and back to C

[Outro]
          C
So I keep runnin' 'til my run is gone
        Bb
Keep on ridin' 'til i see that dawn
              F
And I will be found
              C
I will be found

       D
This house is safe and warm
           G                 E7
But I was made to chase the storm
            D                   D      A7     D
Taking the whole world on with big ol' empty arms

Tell my friends I tried my best
     Bm
That one day I just up and left
       G                      A7
They probably saw it coming anyway

What can I say

Hey, hey

The lock is on the cellar door
   Bm
I can't remember what it's for

Good as you've always been to me
     D              A7
The life I need to lead
     D                   A7                  D      G     D

I worry, I weigh three times my body
D                     G 
I worry, I throw my fear around
          D                  G
But this morning, there's a calm I can't explain

The rock here has melted, only diamonds now remain

Pre chorus:

Ooh ooh

This moment will be gone

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Is there a second in time that I looked around

Did I sail through or drop my anchor down

Is anything enough to kiss the ground

And say I'm here now and she's here now

Heart Of Life

Intro: A, G, D x2            

A       G                    D
To many shadows in my room

A       G                    D
To many hours in this midnight

A       G                    D
To many corners in my mind

A       G                    D
So much to do to set my heart right

Chorus: 
    
Bm                 E                 A        G       D        
      Oh, its taking so long I could be wrong, I could be ready.

Bm                           E               A           G       D
Oh, but if I take my hearts advice I should assume its still unsteady.

F#m       G    E     F#m   G      D
I am     in repair.  I am in repair.

Verse two:

A       G                    D
Stood on the corner for a while.
A                  G               D
To wait for the wind to blow down on me.
A          G                D
Hoping it takes away my old ways.
A          G                    D
And brings some brand new look upon me.

Chorus

Solo: Background plays the chorus again...

Verse Three:

A            G             D
And now I'm walking in a park.
A              G                  D
And all of the birds they dance below me.
A          G                   D
Maybe when things turn green again.
A          G                D
It will be good to say you know me.

Chorus

THE END...

In Repair

D               Bm            G             D       
Me and all my friends, we're all misunderstood.
      A                  Bm                    G            D
They say we stand for nothing, and theres no way we ever could.
               D             Bm                   G                   D
Now we see everything thats going wrong with the world and those who lead it
         A            Bm                      G              D
We just feel like we don't have the means to rise above and beat it.
              D        Bm                      G        D
So we keep waiting, [waiting] waiting on the world to change.
              A        Bm                      G        D
We keep on waiting, [waiting] waiting on the world to change.
       D                G                    Bm            G
It's hard to beat the system, when you're standing at a distance,
              A         Bm                     G        D
So we keep waiting, [waiting] waiting on the world to change.

It's not a silly little moment
               A               E
It's not the storm before the calm
            C#m
This is the deep and dying breath of
                      A       E
This love we've been working on

               C#m   
Can't seem to hold you like I want to

Nobody's gonna come and save you

We're going down

And you know that we're doomed

My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room

          C#m       
I was the one you always dreamed of
              A              E
You were the one I tried to draw
             C#m
How dare you say it's nothing to me
                            A      E
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw

              C#m 
I'll make the most of all the sadness
             A                 E
You'll be a bitch because you can
           C#m
You try to hit me just to hurt me

So you leave me feeling dirty
             A           E
Because you can't understand

             B
We're going down
            C#m     A
And you can see it too
             B
We're going down
         C#m              F#m
And you know that we're doomed
   C#m                           A        E
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room

I'm Gonna Find Another You

  Anger he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armor
G#                 D#
  Green Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Fm               C#
  Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
C#                          G#*               A#m
  Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted

  They quietly understand
      C#                    G#                   A#m
  The once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
                     F#
  But wonder why the fight is on


G#**           D#           Fm   F#
  But they're all bold as love

  Orange is young, full of daring

  But very unsteady for the first go around
C#**                         G#
  My yellow in this case is not so mellow
A#m                               F#
  In fact I'm trying to say it's frightened like me
C#**                              G#
  And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
A#m                    F#
  Giving my life to a rainbow like you


G#**             D#*      Fm   F#

John Mayer - Out of My Mind 

I'm putting you baby
I'm putting you right out of my mind
I'm putting you baby
I'm putting you right out of my mind
So tired of running after you girl
And being one and one half steps behind

Go tell your friends now
Go tell your friends what Johnny did
Go tell your friends
Go tell your friends just what Johnny did
If they don't tell you that you're crazy baby
Lord, they're as messed up as you is!

(Let me play my guitar people!)
(Let me play my guitar people!)

I'm putting you baby
I'm putting you out of my mind
mind, mind mind, 
I'm putting you, baby
I'll put you right out of my mind
So tired of running after you girl
And being one and one half steps behind

G     D         G          D
I am driving up eighty five in the 
G         D          G         D      Em
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon 
Em                                    G     D,     G     D
I'm just stuck inside the gloom 

G         D        G     D
Four more exits to my apartment but 
G     D         G        D       Em         
I am tempted to keep the car in drive 
Em                         G      D,     G      D
And leave it all behind 

   Em    D               G          Em 
Cos I... wander sometimes about the outcome
             D            G
Of a still verdictless life 

     D          A G 
Am I living it right 
     D          A G 
Am I living it right 
     D          A G 
Am I living it right
F             C         G      D,     G     D
Why, why Georgia, why 

G      D           G         D          
Rent a room and I fill the spaces with 
G          D        G       D        Em
Wood and places to make it feel like home 
Em                      G        D
But all I feel's alone 

G             D              Em          
It might be a quarter life crisis 
Em                                G       D,    G      D
Or just the stirring in my soul 
                                          
                
            Em    D              G          Em
Either way  I... wander sometimes about the outcome
             D            G
Of a still verdictless life 

     D          A G 
Am I living it right 
     D          A G 
Am I living it right 
     D          A G 
Am I living it right
F             C                G       
Why, why Georgia, why 

F    C     G 
So what so I've got a smile on
F    C            G 
It's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head 
G      C        D
Don't believe me
G               C       D
Don't you dare believe me 
        Em D     C  D       G  D,  G  D, G  D, G  D 
When I say I've got it down 

G    D        G        D
Everybody is just a stranger 
      G         D        G     D      Em
But that's the danger in going my own way 
Em                                  G    D,     G    D
I guess it's a price I have to pay
       Em         D             G                    
Still everything happens for a reason 
       D 
Is no reason not to ask yourself if you are 

D          A G 
Living it right
         D          A G 
Are you living it right 
         D          A G 
Are you living it right 
F                            C        G     D,    G     D
Why, tell me why, why, why, Georgia, why

We got the afternoon
D   Asus4      G          Asus4
You got this room for two

One thing I've left to do
    D 
Discover me
    Asus4     G - Asus4 
Discovering you

D   Asus4     G     Asus4
One mile to every inch of
D     Asus4     G      Asus4 
Your skin like porcelain
D    Asus4   G   Asus4 
One pair of candy lips and

Your bubblegum tongue

(I'll use my hands)
     Asus4       D             Asus4 - G - Asus4 
Your body Is a wonderland   


Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

Pre-Chorus:
            G
And if you want love
      Asus4 
We'll make it
            G
Swimming a deep sea
     Asus4 
Of blankets
               G
Take all your big plans
     Asus4
And break 'em
          Em     F#m    G
This is bound to be a while

Chorus:

Damn baby, you frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

    And there are times

I lose my worried mind

Colors change for no good reason

From poetry to prose

My stupid mouth Has got me in trouble
D/F#       G        
I said too much again
Bm     D/F#             G
  To a date over dinner yesterday
           Bm    D/F#                    
And I could see  she was offended
G
She said "well anyway..."
Bm   D/F#        G
Just dying for a subject change
G       F#sus/Bb      F#/Bb     Bm7 . . . D7sus4    D7       G      
Oh, a - nother social casualty            Score one more for me
G         D/F#      Em7                      D/F#
How could I forget?  Mama said "think before speaking"
G         D/F#            F2
No filter in my head  Oh, what's a boy to do
  G2/B                      D - D/C# - D/F# - G - Bm - D/F# - G

           D        D/C#                  D/F#                  G
We bit our lips she looked out the window rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
Bm          D/F#                         G        
 I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shak - er
Bm     D/F#               G                      Bm
 And I could see clearly   an indelible line was drawn
Bm      D/F#                G
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong
G       F#sus/Bb       F#/Bb 
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Bm7 . . . D7sus4              D7     G

It  only   hurts me
Bm   D/F#   G            Bm
I'd  rather be a myste - ry
     D/F#     G
Than she de - sert me

One more thing  why is it my fault?
           G       Bm
So maybe I try too hard
         D/F#          G
But it's all because of this desire
                Bm             D/F#          G
I just wanna be liked, I just wanna be fun - ny
                            Bm     D/F#            G
Looks like the jokes on me,   so   call me captain backfire
G       F#sus/Bb      F#/Bb     Bm7 . . . D7sus4    D7       G

Had a little love,
F
But I spread it thin

Tore up my heart, and shut it down
C
Nothing to do
F
Nowhere to be
Dm			G
A simple little kind of free
C
Nothing to do
F
No one but be
Dm		 G
And that's all I need

This is always what I say

I got nothing to lose

All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye

Intro: G, C, Am, D  

Verse 1:
G
Young and full of running
         C
Tell me where has that taken me?
       Am           D                G
Just a great figure eight or a tiny infinity?
G
Love is really nothing
      C
But a dream that keeps waking me
              Am                                     D    G
For all of my trying, we still end up dying how can it be?

Chorus:
C                                                  G
Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me
C                                                 G    
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see
C                                               G
I want you so bad, I'll go back on the things I believe
C                                                    G
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me

Verse 2:
G                                         
So young and full of running
C
All the way to the edge of desire
          Am                  D                            G
Steady my breathing, silently screaming I have to have you now
G                     
Wired and I'm tired
           C
Think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor
             Am                         D                         G
Or maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours

[VERSE 1]
G              Bm             F                     C
Now and then I pace my place; I can't retrace how I got here
G                 Bm                F                         C
I cheat the light to check my face; It's slightly harder than last year

[CHORUS]

Em          G            C
And all at once it gets hard to take
Em       G                  C
It gets hard to fake what I won't be
Em                  G            C
Cause one of these days I'll be born and raised
     Em         G                  C
And it's such a waste to grow up lonely

I still have dreams, they're not the same; they don't fly as high as they used to
G                Bm               F                                     C

I still got time, I still got faith; I call on both of my brothers

I got a mom, I got a dad; but they do not have each other

[FINAL CHORUS]
Em             G              C
So line on up, and take your place
Em             G             C
And show your face to the morning
Em                   G             C
Cause one of these days you'll be born and raised
Em              G               C
And it all comes on without warning

Born And Raised

C                                   F
Walt Grace, desperately hating his whole place
                      Am
Dreamed to discover a new space
                        F
And buried himself alive 
           C                                   F
Inside his basement, tongue on the side of his face meant
                     Am
He's working away on displacement
                          F
And what it would take to survive



  
  F                             Am     
'Cause when you're done with this world
F              Am            G
You know the next is up to you
         C                F            G
And his wife told his kids he was crazy
        C                 F            G
And his friends said he'd fail if he tried
            C             F
But with a will to work hard
       Am      D
And a library card
           F                                       G      C
He took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride



      C                             F    
That morning, the sea was mad and I mean it
                     Am
Waves as big as he'd seen it
                         F
Deep in his dreams at home
     C
From dry land
                     F
He rolled it over to wet sand
                         Am
Closed the hatch up with one hand
                   F           
And pedaled off alone



  F                             Am
'Cause when you're done with this world
F            Am             G  
You know the next is up to you
        C            F           G
And for once in his life it was quiet
       C             F           G    
As he learned how to turn in the tide
        C          F
And the sky was a flare
                Am           D
When he came up for air
        F                                 G       C
In his homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride



    C
One evening
                                F
When weeks had passed since his leaving
                          Am         
The call she'd planned on receiving
                  F
Finally made it home
           C
She accepted
                     F
The news she'd never expected
             Am
The operator connected
                F       
A call from Tokyo



  F                             Am     
'Cause when you're done with this world
F            Am             G  
You know the next is up to you
         C
Now his friends  
                  F              G        
Bring him up when they're drinking
        C       F           G
At the bar with his name on the side
          C               F
And they smile when they can
             Am        D
As they speak of a man
            F                              G          C
Who took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride

Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967

Born and Raised

Intro: Dsus2

Verse 1:

Dsus2
Do you ever get the feeling

That we started in the middle
            D/B
Or have you ever had the sense

That we've been lying just a little
            Gmaj7
I mean come on
                   D/B       Asus4
It's not like we've known ourselves that long
Gmaj7  G6     Gmaj7  G6

Verse 2:

           Dsus2
And I can't say I really blame you

For being bored with the beginning
        D/B
Always staring at the score

Just to figure out who's barely winning
             Gmaj7
But don't you know
           D/B     Asus4
There is a reason strong, move slow
Gmaj7  G6     Gmaj7  G6

Pre-chorus:

        D/B
And I'm okay
           A
If you're okay with
         Gmaj7
Wasting time
             D/B
But when you trace
           Asus4          Gmaj7
You always see the bottom line


Chorus:

       Dsus2
We are tracing
        D/B
I hope you know
       Gmaj7
We are tracing

Verse 3:

           Dsus2
And if you want to know the moment

I knew that I was still alone
          D/B
I found I never learned your number

I only stored it in my phone
               Gmaj7
You'd think by now
             D/B      Asus2
I'd know the shape of calling home
Gmaj7  G6     Gmaj7  G6

Pre-chorus:

        D/B
And I'm okay
           A
If you're okay with
         Gmaj7
Wasting time
             D/B
But when you trace
           Asus4          Gmaj7
You always see the bottom line

Last chorus:

       Dsus2
We are tracing
        D/B
I hope you know
       Gmaj7
We are tracing
           D/B   Asus4
We're both alone
       Dsus2
We are tracing
       D/B
We are tracing
Em9    A7 (11)

Verse 1:

       Dsus2
Do you ever get the feeling

That we started in the middle
            D/B
Or have you ever had the sense

That we've been lying just a little
            Gmaj7
I mean come on
                    D/B      Asus4       Gmaj7
It's not like we've known ourselves that long

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
