Kings of Convenience are a music duo formed in Bergen, Norway, playing a style that features acoustic instrumental playing and their two  voices. The band consists of Erlend &Oslash;ye and Eirik Glambek B&oslash;e. They met as children at a geography competition. They are known for their delicate tunes, calming voices, and intricately subtle guitar melodies.

I Dont Know What I Can Save You From

F#m                      C#m
What's the immaterial substance
       B
That envelopes two
F#m                    C#m
That one percieves as hunger
        B
And the other as food
F#m                  C#m
I wake in tangeled covers
      B
To a sash of snow,
F#m                     C#m
You dream in a cartoon garden
    B
I could never know.


F#m          C#m           B                  and so on              
Innocent imitation of how it would be
If one the music entered, you did not retreat
In my imagination, you are cast in gold
Your image a compensation for me to hold

Parallel lines, move so fast
Toward the same point
Infinity is as near as it is far
Parallel lines, move so fast
Toward the same point
Infinity is as near as it is far

I changed the second chord because this is easier to play:)
Hope it is right this way.

Cadd9               Am
You called me after midnight
     Em7                 F
Must have been three years since we last spoke
Cadd9             Am
I slowly tried to bring back
   Em7                      F
The image of your face from the memories so old
Cadd9              Am
I tried so hard to follow
     Em7                   F
But didn't catch the half of what had gone wrong
Cadd9        Am          Em7     F
Said "I don't know what I can save you from"
Cadd9  Am          Em7     F    F    G
I don't know what I can save you from

Cadd9            Am
I'd never really known you
  Em7                        F
But I realized that the one you were before
Cadd9                Am
Had changed into somebody for whom

I Don't Know What I Can Save You From

Quiet Is The New Loud

C#m                          G#m               F#m ->G#m
All I do is sleep all day, and think of you 
a memory of the cushion life I'm clinging to
the image of a mutual one, our haven
C#m                       F#m        G#m
the sombre chords of our song, the fading

C#m
love is no big truth
E                    A
driven by our genes, we are simple selfish beings
a symphony that's you
joyously awaking the ignorant and sleeping


C#m                          G#m               F#m ->G#m
Passion and its brother hate, they come and go
could easily be made to stay for longer though
many people play this game so willingly
do I have to be like them, or be lonely?

love is no big truth
driven by our genes, we are simple selfish beings
a symphony that's you
joyously awaking the ignorant and sleeping

G#m                 F#m          C#m
Another view of what there is to it,
getting me through it

C#m              E        A
I'll never need it again

Love Is No Big Truth

# The original song is a chord progression in : 
# 
# E - F# - B - B - D#m - E

E            F#          B
If you wanna be my friend
B             D#m        E
You want us to get along
E            F#          B                       
Please do not expect me to
B             D#m        E                             
Wrap it up and keep it there
E            F#          B
The observation I am doing could

# To make it easier to play you can transpose the song: Up 1 half steps. And you obtain a chord progression in  : 
# 
# F - G - C - C - Em - F

F            G           C
If you wanna be my friend
C              Em        F
You want us to get along
F            G           C                      
Please do not expect me to
C              Em        F                       
Wrap it up and keep it there
F            G           C
The observation I am doing could


# You can play the whole song in first position, but for a better sound you should play it with barre chords.

A
I walked around for hours, 
B                    A        B
two ten pence pieces in my hand. 
A
I was alone and freezing,

still trying hard to understand you. 
A
I left the others knowing 
B                  A        B
I had to work this by myself. 
A
But now the feeling's growing, 
B                         A        B
I would be better off with their help. 
 
  A             B         A     B  
So baby, what we've got has lately, 
        A      B
not been enough.

not been enough.

A
I wish I had your scarf still, 
B                            A     B
that once embraced,and kept me warm. 
A
I wish you could be with me,
B                              A           B
in these last days when I am still hopelessly poor.

Stay out of trouble, 
B         A
stay in touch. 
E*                    B        A
Try not to think about me too much.

Boat Behind

Intro: Bm7 D Em7



                       Bm7  Dmaj7 Em
The telegraph gave us hope

                   Bm7           Dmaj7      Em
Before was the silence and the panic it brought

                         Bm7   Dmaj7 Em
The sky was the blankest sheet

                   Bm7           Dm7         Em
We drew lines upon it so our thoughts could meet

                             Bm7 Dmaj7 Em
through cables black and cold
 
                             Bm7       Dmaj7 Em
we carry our intentions to bridge and bring home

                      Bm7 Dmaj7 Em
would it all be so clear

                      Bm7           Dm7      Em
if the lines were erased and the silence restored?

Boys of today write lines on walls
in the streets at night
in suburbs of cities with no name
is this destruction or just quiet protest
against loneliness

the cargo lies in our laps
they're weight is so heavy
and this is all we know
our message will need a ship
to travel across oceans
that can't otherwise be crossed

it undulates on the waves
and cautions the water so we can be safe
it undulates on the waves
then cautions the water so we can be safe

My Ship Isn't Pretty

Declaration Of Dependence

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

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:

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier

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.

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.
