Cold War Kids are an indie rock band from Fullerton, California, USA. Band members are Nathan Willett (lead vocals, piano, guitar), Jonnie Russell (guitar, vocals, percussion), Matt Maust (bass guitar) and Matt Aveiro (drums). According to Songfacts, Matt Maust came up with the band's name. He was inspired by a trip to Eastern Europe where he came across a  big park where they'd dumped statues that had been removed after Communism fell. Within the park he found a playground and being in that environment the phrase 'Cold War Kids' popped into his head.

Hang Me Up To Dry is a single by indie rock band Cold War Kids, taken from their debut album Robbers &amp; Cowards. The song was covered by English singer Kate Nash. The US television show Numb3rs used the song in an episode titled &quot;Charlie Don't Surf&quot;, which originally aired November 14, 2008. Additionally, USA Network utilized the track in promoting the second half of Burn Notice's third season. The song is a playable track in the music video game Band Hero.  

# Note: This song is essentially made up of two components: the riff 
# (basically the first four bars of the song) and the solo (basically
# the first two bars of the solo section below.) The enitre song is 
# more or less a composition of these six bars, played repeatedly with
# minor variations. So, don't be discouraged by the length of this tab. 
# The song is simpler than it looks. :D

Hang Me Up To Dry

Verse One:

Am                        G6
I kissed the kids at noon and stumbled out the room

C6                      Am
I caught up a cab, ran up a tab at 7th and Flower

Am                      G6
Best recital I had to ruin, missed my son's graduation

C6                      Am
Punched the Nickles boy for taking his seat, he gets all the anger



Bridge:

      Am                               G6
From me, said things could be much worse, natural disaster

C6                Am
On the evening news

Am                          G6
Said things could be much worse, we still got our health

C6                Am         G6
My paycheck in the mail



Chorus:
                 C                  G F
I promised to my wife, and children

                  C              G           F
I'd never touch another drink as long as I live

                  C           G    F
But even then, it sounds so soothing

                       F
This will blow over in time

F
This will all blow over in time



Verse Two:

Am                     G6
I'm just an honest man, provide for me and mine

C6                  Am               G6
I give a check to tax detuctible organizations

Am                                       G6
Two weeks vacation won't heal the damage done

C6              Am
I need another one



Bridge:

Am                               G6
Said things could be much worse, natural disaster

C6                Am
On the evening news

Am                          G6
Said things could be much worse, we still got our health

C6                Am         G6
My paycheck in the mail



Chorus Two:

                  C        G     F
I promised to my wife and children

                 C               G          F
I'd never touch another drink as long as I live

                   C        G      F
But even then, it sounds so soothing

                 C           G    F
To mix a gin and sink into oblivion

                 C         G      F
I promised to my wife and children

                   C          G             F
That accident left everyone a little shook up

                      C       G    F
But at the meetings I felt so empty

                       F
This will blow over in time

                           F
This will all blow over in time

           D	                              G                                    
Cause the only place that I want to be is right back home with you 


Verse 3:
                 C	             Am		
I guess there's so much more I have to learn
               F	 	                       G		
But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn
        Am         F		                   C
You always give me somewhere, somewhere I can run
Am	            G	       F   C
   You make it real for me

       G     Am	         F	               C
That's    whyyyyyyy I've been missing you lately

School Friends

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      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G

Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

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
