A                  G
They turn the lights down low,
C                   F
In shadows hiding from the world,
C           A                G
Only coming out when it gets cold

A                       G
The seas part when they hit the floor,
C                       F
The voices carry on and out the door
C                  A                G
And everything you touch turns into gold

         C     F           G     A          G         F     
Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my 
G    A  
chest,
               C         F
Your eyes they penetrate me,
              G         A
(your answers always maybe)
           G     F      G

A beating heart and a microphone,
C                     F
A ticking clock in an empty home
C                    A             G
Still tells of these times so long ago,

A                   G
And even though Ive come so far, 
C                 F
I know Ive got so far to go and I 
C   A           G
any day now Ill explode

chest,

Your eyes they penetrate me,
              G         A

           G     F      G   
Thats when I got up and left

A        G
Each and everyday 
C        F
it leads into tomorrow
    C                   A                G
And tomorrow brings one less day without you

A                G
But dont wait up just leave the light on
C             F
Cause all the roads that I might take

Like The Angel

Em                    C
simply because you can breathe doesn't mean you're alive,
G                  Dm
or that you really live,
Em                     C
this life has taken its toll,
                 G                          Dm
she just doesn't know how much more she can give 

    Em                     C			
But here, at the top of the world, 
                 G                     Dm
where I raise my hands and I clench my fists,
    Em                   C
they stand before me below demanding the 
G                       Dm
answers with flips of a switch

Em             Dm                   C
I don't understand where you got this idea,
   Em              Dm     C		
so deeply engrained in your head (that this world)
   Em            Dm      C
is something that you must impress,
  Em    Dm           C
cause I couldn't care less

  Em                   C			  
a need for revolution's rising, 
                G                    Dm
it comes to the surface, gasping for air,
          Em                      C
and we're not putting up with this planet 
         G                       Dm
one more day, much less one more year

 Em               C
I have an american dream,
                      G	                  Dm
but it involves black masks and gasoline,
                        Em	      C	
one day I'll turn these thoughts into screams,
                           G            Dm	
at a world that turned its back down on me

E                                        A
We've been alright up until now
             E                                B
But the air that we breathe is about to run out
           E                                          A
We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud
            E                                  B
But the cue never came and the lights,
                           E
They never went down
                                 A
So we're passing the time
                            E
While time passes us
                           B                             E
The fast lane's a term never applied to us
                            A
Not a dime to my name
                           E
Or a prayer in the world
                       B
I walk out the door


E      A        E                    B
Destination: anywhere but here
                   E
Away from you!
                          A
Now I'm on my way to the other side
E                     A                E
I'll forget everything I left behind
                      A
These empty rooms
B
Are still filled with you


E                                     A
And so I dropped out of my own race
    E
A race with no finish line,
B
No first or last place
E                      A
These faces all rush right past me
   E                    B
I turn and walk away
                  E                                       A
'Cause we finally know now what our time here's about,
                      E
We were not meant to be
              B
Another face in the crowd
             E
We're a forest of lives
              A
And we grow tall and wide
                 E                 B
And we'll never be cut down


E      A        E                    B
Destination: anywhere but here
                   E
Away from you!
                          A
Now I'm on my way to the other side
E                     A                E
I'll forget everything I left behind
                      A
These empty rooms
B
Are still filled with you



E         A           E                            B
I'm so tired and turned around and scared
E            A          E                 B
And I'm lying in empty beds again
E                          A
I'll wait for you to come
E                         B
To your senses, barbed wire fences
             E         A          E
Won't keep me from breaking through
   B
I swear I will to you


E                       A
Now I'm on my way to the other side
E                     A
I'll forget everything I left behind
E                   A
These empty rooms
B
Are still filled with you
A
Are still filled with you


E          A           E                            B
I'm so tired and turned around and scared
E            A          E                 B
And I'm lying in empty beds again
                    E
Away from you

Anywhere But Here 

C#m              E               B               A

C#m              E                   B               A
Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around
             B
To catch you falling down
                   A
And I'm looking at you now

  


    E       B               C#m     A  
And I can't tell if you're laughing

Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
          E             B          C#m   A   
There's a train leaving town in an hour
         E           B        C#m       A   
It's not waiting for you and neither am I




C#m              E            B                 A  
Swing for the fences son, he must have told you once
C#m         E               B             A  
That was a conversation you took nothing from
              C#m              E         B                  A  
so raise your glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done
C#m           E             B                    A  
Just put off another day of knowing where you're from
                      B  
You can catch up with yourself
       A
if you run



    E       B               C#m     A  
And I can't tell if you're laughing
   E         B               C#m          A   
Between each smile there's a tear in your eye
          E             B          C#m   A   
There's a train leaving town in an hour

And I can't tell if you're laughing

Am             F         G         Am
Suffering from something we're not sure of

     F           G     Am
In a world there is no cure for

      F        G         Em       F        Am
These lives we live test negative for happiness

           F         G              Am
Flat line, no pulse, but eyes open

                 F           G          Am
Single file like soldiers on a mission

             F         G     Em
If theres no war outside our heads

           F    G
Why are we losing?

      Am        F              C         Em
For a life less frightening, a life less frightening

Is there a God tonight?

                       Dm
Up in the sky or is it empty just like me (Just like me)

              Am
A place where we can hide out from the night

      Dm
Where you are all I see (Where you are all I see)

          Am
So blow a kiss goodbye, close your eyes

Dm
Tell me what you see (Tell me what you see)

A life that's spent inside this dream of mine

Never have I felt so cold

C               G
  I can still remember
                        Am
The words and what they meant
                             F
As we etched them with our fingers

In years of wet cement
C                        G
  Days blurred into each other
                         Am
Though everything seemed clear
                       F
We cruised along at half speed 

But then we shifted gears 


Am           F               C                D
 We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
Am        F                   G
 But even then we should have stayed


              Am   F
But we ran away
    C              G
Now all my friends gone
   Am          F              C                   G
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
      Am   F
Runaway 
C                  G
what are we running from ?
  Am                 F             C           G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone ? 


C               G
  Identities assume us 
                     Am
As nine and five add up
              F
Synchronizing watches 

To the seconds that we lost
C                  G
  I looked up and saw you
                    Am
I know that you saw me
                   F
We froze but for a moment

In empathy 


Am                   F               C               D
  I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
Am          F          G
 You gave my emptiness away 


             Am   F
And you ran away
    C              G
Now all my friends gone
   Am          F              C                   G
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
      Am   F

A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone ? 
 

Am     F   C             Am   F    G
 We?re all ok, until the day we?re not
Am   F       C                 Am  F  G
 The surface shines, while the inside rots
Am  F         C             Am  F  G
 We raced the sunset and we almost won
Am  F           C               Am     F    G
 We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on 


            Am   F
And we ran away
    C              G
Now all my friends gone

In the face of change,
C             G                  C
that's when she turned to me and said:
         F         C   G
"I'm not sure anymore..."
  C         F
And there, amidst the waves
        C		    	
and the cloudless skies...
     G                    C			
That blanket, the year before...
  F                     C   G
I watch my life wash ashore.
(PM)
  C                  F
Have you ever been a part of something
 C      G                  C
that you thought would never end?
    F                    C    G
And then, of course, it did.
 c                    F
HAVE you ever felt the weight inside you,
 C          G             C
pulling away inside your skin?
     F                 C    G
Then something had to give...

G  G G7 G6add11

C
 And now the lines are drawn...
G
 Is this feeling gone?
C                  F                   C
 The best parts of this have come and gone
            G              F     F
and now that... is all that this iiiis.
C
 With the reasons clear,
G
 We'll spend another year...
C
 Without direction,
F             C
 full of fear,
              G	          F    F
but now things... will be differeeent.

 C                    F
There's nothing simple when it comes to you and I...
 C                G                      C
  Always something in this everchanging life;

and there probably always will.

NOW that time is getting harder to come by,

  the same arguments are always on our minds,

killed this slowly fading lights.

And now something, has kept me here too long...

And you can't leave me, if I'm already gone

And now something, has kept me here too long...\

       C                       F	
And we make the same mistakes; we're always hanging on.

Break the promises we're always leaning on.

All this time  spent waking up...

Now keep this line open  to get this call from you,
Am                   G
speak the words that keep me coming back to you

            F            G              C
Would it be wrong if I decided I should leave?

A                      F
If I pretended I was blind
                      G
And struck it from my mind
                  C
Would it still be there?
A                F                            G
What if I'd do anything to make it seem all right
         C    A
It's all right

           F
What if it's all inside my head?

What if those words were never said?
            F              G          C
Would it be easier if I could just forget?
          F
What if I didn't run away?
            D
Could it be any other way?
            F             G              C
Would it be wrong if I decided I should stay?

A                      F
If I pretended I was blind
                      G
And struck it from my mind
                  C
Would it still be there?
A                F                            G
What if I'd do anything to make it seem all right

It's all right, it's all right
         F               G
It's all right, it's all right
         C
It's all right

F  D  F  G  C

A                      F
If I pretended I was blind

It's all right

What if I'm right and you are wrong?
            D
What if you knew it all along?
           F           G               C
What if I figured out that I did not belong?
           F
What if it always bothered me?
          D
What if I never did believe?
            F            G              C
Would it be wrong if I decided I should leave?

Long Forgotten Songs: B-Sides & Covers 2000-2013

# Please rate! Thanks :)
# Intro

Am F C G

# Verse 1

Am                                  F            G
Do you spend your days counting the hours you're awake?

Am                                  F            G
And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same

Am                                  F            G
There's a burden you've been bearing in spite of all your prayers

Am                                  
There's a light turned off inside your heart

F                G
Can you remember what it's like to care?

E                         F                G
Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can't breathe

# Chorus

Am       
So give me the drug, keep me alive

         F
Give me what's left of my life

              C   G
Don't let me go, whooaa

          Am                  
Pull this plug, let me breathe

       F     
On my own, I'm finally free

              C      G
Don't let me go, whooaa

# Verse 2

Am                                  F            G
The trail of crumbs you left somehow got lost along the way

Am                                  F            G
If you never meant to leave then you only had to stay

Am                                  F            G
But the memories that haunt us are cherished just the same

Am                                  F            G
As the ones that bring us closer to the sky, no matter how grey

E                         F                G
And yet I fall, through these clouds, reaching, screaming

# Chorus

Am       
So give me the drug, keep me alive

         F
Give me what's left of my life

              C   G
Don't let me go, whooaa

          Am                  
Pull this plug, let me breathe

       F     
On my own, I'm finally free

              C      G
Don't let me go, whooaa

# Bridge

This grip loosens but it never breaks

We carry nothing but a name you will forsake

Your words are always there to break my fall

(BREAK MY FALL!)

G 				F
In them I find the comfort to see through it all

Am			F
Guide me through unchartered waters

G 				F
Before we lose our way again

Am			F
Will you be my compass until forever?

G 				F
Until forever ends!?

E                         F                G
Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can't breathe

C#m            B
Tell me what I'm supposed to do

A                   A             C#m     B
With all these left over feelings of you.

A
'Cause I don't know.


C#m             B
And tell me how I'm supposed to feel

A                   A       C#m       B
When all these nightmares become real.

A
'Cause I don't know.


A                B            C#m
And I don't think you see the places inside me that I find you.

A                B            C#m
And I don't know how we separate the lies here from the truth.

A                B            C#m
And I don't know how we woke up one day somehow thought we knew

A  B                 C#m
Exactly what we're supposed to do.


C#m       B        A      B
So leave me at the roadside

C#m       B        A      B
And hang me up and out to dry.

C#m       B        A      B
So leave me at the roadside

C#m       B        A      B
And hang me up and out to dry.

Dm  Dm  Am7  Am7


Verse

Dm                               Gm
In fields where nothing grew but weeds,
                       F
I found a flower at my feet,
        C           G
Bending there in my direction,
Dm                          Gm
I wrapped a hand around its stem,
                              F
I pulled until the roots gave in,
        C                   G
Finding there what I'd been missing,


Pre Chorus

A#
But I know...
     Dm           F                  Gm
So I tell myself, I tell myself it's wrong.
          Dm                 F              Gm
There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
           A#               Am7    G
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.


Chorus

               Dm  
All because of you,
                   F
I haven't slept in so long.
            C                        Gm
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
                Dm                       F
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
                 C
I'll follow your voice,
                Gm
All you have to do is shout it out.


Dm Dm   Am7  Am7


Verse

Dm                           Gm
Inside my hands these petals browned,
                        F
Dried up, fallen to the ground
       C               G
But it was already too late now.
Dm                              Gm
I pushed my fingers through the earth,
                            F
Returned this flower to the dirt,
            C              G
So it could live. I walked away now.

Pre Chorus

Gm
But I know...
Dm                F                      Gm
Not a day goes by that I don't feel this burn.
Dm                           F              Gm
There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
           Gm               Am7    G
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.




Chorus

               Dm
All because of you,
                   F
I haven't slept in so long,
            C                        Gm
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
                Dm                       F
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
                 C
I'll follow your voice,
             Gm
All you have to do is shout it out.

Chorus

Dm 
All because of you,
                   F
I haven't slept in so long.
            C                        Gm
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
                Dm                       F
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
C                    Gm
Inside these arms of yours.


               Dm
All because of you,
             F
I believe in angels.
                  C
Not the kind with wings,
                      Gm
No, not the kind with halos,
                        Dm
The kind that bring you home, 
                            F
When home becomes a strange place.
                 C
I'll follow your voice,
                Gm 
All you have to do is shout it out.

You can't fill your cup, until you empty all it has

Satellite

Am                                  G
Are there no fighters left here any more?
Am                                       G
Are we the generation we've been waiting for?
          Dm
Or are we patiently burning
        Em    Am               G
Waiting to be saved?
Am                                      G
Our heroes and icons have mellowed with age
Am                                 G
Following rules that they once disobeyed
Dm
They're now being led
                  Em       Am
When they used to lead the way

       F                C
Do you still believe in all the things
     G               Em
that you stood by before?
        F                 C
Are you out there on the front lines
   G               Am           G
Or at home keeping score?
       F              C            G                     Am
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
             F                          G
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Am                                                G
They laid out the blueprints, they poured down a base
Am                               G
Concrete solutions to slow our decay
Dm
And when they are gone
                     Em         Am             G
Who the f*ck's gonna take their place?
Am                                 G
Will it be the cynics, the critics galore?
Am                                 G
Cliche apathetic passed out on the floor
Dm                                   Em    Am
The trusting complicit who collectively ignore

       F                C
Do you still believe in all the things
     G               Em
that you stood by before?
        F                 C
Are you out there on the front lines
   G               Am           G
Or at home keeping score?
       F              C            G                     Am
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
             F                          G
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Am
Don't you remember when you were young
Am                                 Dm
And you wanted to set the world on fire?
               Em              Am
Somewhere deep down, I know you do
Am
And don't you remember when we were young
Am                                Dm
And we wanted to set the world on fire?
               Em             Am
Because I still am and I still do
        G                  F
Make no mistake we are not afraid
            C
To bear the burden of repeating
             Am
What they're thinking anyway
                G                    F
Let's raise the stakes on the bet we made
         C
Let's decide to be the architects
                   Am                G
The masters of our fate

       F                C
Do you still believe in all the things
     G               Em
that you stood by before?
    F           C
And after everything we've seen here
G          Am           G
Maybe even more
       F                  C        G               Am
And I know we're not the only ones we were not the first
             F                             G              Am
Unapologetically we'll stand behind each word

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 walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            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


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (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
