Ixnay On The Hombre

Verse:1

lalalalalalalalalala.. :P
A               F       C          G 
I wrote her off for the tenth time today
A                 F   C              G 
And practiced all the things I would say
A            F    C         G 
But she came over I lost my nerve
A               F   C        G 
I took her back and made her dessert
G  A  F   C              G 
Oh I know I'm being used
A               F       C              G 
That's okay man cause I like the abuse
A    F           C              G 
Oh I know she's playing with me
A           F              C              G 
That's okay cause I've got no self esteem

Verse:2<-- the same chords has Verse:1
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
This rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so

D          Bb      F             C         D 
When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me
       Bb             F              C      
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
D          Bb      F            C        D 
When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease
       Bb              F          C 
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
D      Bb    F              C       D 
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
      Bb                F           C    D 
But I really think it's better this way
             Bb    
The more you suffer
C           G                F 
The more it shows you really care
         G   C /G  G   C /G
Right? Yeah-eh-eh

Vers:3
Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score
Oh I know I should say no but
It's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

Refrain again:
When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care
Right? Yeah-eh-eh

Self Esteem

# This is the original key of the song.
# It's easier to play by bringing it down one step to Am-F-C-G.
# Or, capo on 1st, finger Am-F-C-G for easy play-along.

[Verse 1]

Bbm                                         F#
When we were young the future was so bright
                                  C#
The old neighborhood was so alive
                                       G#
And every kid on the whole damn street
                                    Bbm
Was gonna make it big in every beat
                                        F#
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
                                               C#
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
                          G#
How can one little street swallow so many lives

[Chorus]

        Bbm
Chances thrown
          F#
Nothing's free
        C#
Longing for
        G# 
Used to be
           Bbm
Still it's hard
        F#
Hard to see
        C#
Fragile lives 
          G#
shattered dreams

[Verse 2]

Bbm                                     F#
Jenny had a chance, well she really did
                                                 C#
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
                                               G#          
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
                                             Bbm
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
                      F#
Jay committed suicide
                      C#
Brandon OD'd and died
                           G#                    
What the hell is going on? The cruellest dream - reality

My Girlfriend, my dumb donut
C            C             G    F
Went out to a party just the other night
    C          C     G             F
But three hours later, seven shots of jager
C             C           G      F
She was in the bedroom with another guy.


# PRE-CHORUS: NO PALM MUTE

About her feet all up in the air.

Think they're gonna help me open up my eyes

But the play-by-play
G               F 
Makes me want to lose it

Every time you do it man it turns the knife.

Now lying in bed, wallowing in sorrow

Missing the tomorrow that we could have had
C                 C    G       F
running through my head, over and over

Things I never told her now just make me sad.


# VERSE 2: Not Palm Muted

And it drives me insane
G               F
Sitting with the vision
C              C             G    F
Stuck with that image burned into my brain
      C      C
And I feel so dumb
     G           F
That I could ever trust her
      C           C
While someone else f***ed her

Then walked away.

Slim Pickens Does The Right Thing And Rides The Bomb To Hell

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#

and you wanna go out and kill yourself

to remind yourself that you forgot

Overreacting

Intro: D-A-Bm-Em-A  x4

         D                 A                          
I'll confess tonight your all thats on my mind
        Bm            A                   D
I know these roof top nights could last forever.
              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

D                       A
Right now is all we have you better make this count
Bm                       A

I think back to the nights I looked into your bright green eyes and you said,
    Em    A
lets run away.
D                             A                             Bm

    Em    A
lets run away.

D                    A
I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

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.

Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace
