Streetlight Manifesto is a third wave ska punk band from East Brunswick, New Jersey, under the creative leadership of singer/guitarist Tomas Kalnoky. Since forming in 2002, the band has released four full-length albums.  Several of Streetlight's members were already well known among the New Jersey ska community for their roles in past ska bands from that area, most notably Catch 22's Tomas Kalnoky, James Egan, Mike Soprano, and Josh Ansley, as well as One Cool Guy's Stuart Karmatz, Pete Sibilia, Dan Ross, and Chris Paszik.  

I once uploaded a version of this song but it only contained the first couple notes. Now, with a little help, I have been able to tab the complete intro of this song. Enjoy.

Somewhere In The Between

# Intro: C  G  Am  Dm  C  G  
 C  G  Am  F  C  G  C

         C    G         Am
You were gone   when we found you
         Dm          C                    G
You were practically surrounded, you were trapped
        C          G              Am          F
But the opposition stalled, their blood ran cold
C                 G                    C
When they saw the look of love in your eyes

          C                  G
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
    Am
And everything else was part of the plan
   Dm       C          G
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
            C      G      Am                F
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end
       C        G           C
And we all just idolize the dead

            C                 G                     Am
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
               Dm                  C                   G
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
    C                G             Am                   F
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
    C                       G              C
And nothing and no one will ever take that away

          C      G          Am
You had a love     and that love had you
Dm             C                  G
   And nothing mattered, you were fine
    C         G                      Am             F
And some will complain, they're just bitter, what a shame
               C                    G                      C
They know that loving and losing is better than nothing at all

          C                  G
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
    Am
And everything else was part of our path
   Dm       C          G
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
            C      G      Am                F
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end
       C        G           C
And we all just idolize the dead

            C                 G                     Am
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
               Dm                  C                   G
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
    C                G             Am                   F
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
    C                       G              C
And nothing and no one will ever take that away

          C                       G
Yeah, the times we had, they were not that bad
    Am
And everything else, that was part of the plan
       Dm       C          G
And we sang, "I don't know where we go from here"
            C               G               Am                F
This is the Alpha (Alpha!), Omega (Omega!), beginning and the end!
       C        G           C
And we all just idolize the dead

            C                 G                     Am
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
               Dm                  C                   G
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
    C                G             Am                   F
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
    C                       G              C
And nothing and no one will ever take that away


And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end

But we can't just get in line again.

E  B  A  F#m A X2
 
Verse:
 
       E               B
She was diagnosed on a Friday,

    A
The kids were almost home,

    F#m                A                  E
The kids were on their way back home from school,

                       B
Lying face down in the gutter,

    A
Of unaccomplished dreams,

    F#m          A               E
And broken memories of things to come.

                       B
"Sorry ma'am, I really am. I had to break the news.

   A                            F#m                  A
I had to make the phone call to tell you that you're due,

         E                    B
You know where, I'll tell you when,

         A                           F#m
And I suggest you start living these next three weeks,

    A                      E
The best way that you can."

                 B                 A
Every night for three long weeks,

                        F#m    A     E
She?d roam the hallways half asleep,

                     B
And as the footsteps fade away,

 A                          F#m              A    
In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:

Chorus:

 A             B                       E                       F#m     A
Don't wait for me, you?ve got a lot to do, you?ve got a lot to be,

           B(stop)                     
And in the end maybe, I'll see you there.


Inter: E  B  A  F#m A x4

# After, its all the same for the verse and chorus again.
# Hope you enjoy!

In the backyard, shaving the old plies

A                            E
Feeling so strong (strong!), something went wrong (wrong!)

B                               D
Straight into my finger, what a stinger, it was so long

No one gave a shit about us because times were tougher then.

Feeling so good (good!) cruisin? the hood (hood!)

B                            D
Straight into the real world where rich kids never understood.

Keasbey Nights

G                  C
Not long ago in my high school days,
D                        G
I watched a girl from so far away,
Em                 C
But every time she passed me by,
D                         G
I turned my head away and quietly sighed.
G                          C
And when she walked by her hair would dance,
D                        G
A secret tango that only I could understand,
Em                            C
And when she'd ask me for the time of day,
D                            G
I'd look her in the eyes and quietly say.

G            C 
Oh Kristina, Kristina, 
   D                       G
do you have any clue who I am? (HELL NO!)
Em                      C          
So listen up cause I'll tell ya once 
         D                              G
and I'll explain myself the best that I can, 
      G         C
whoa, Kristina, Kristina 
          D                      G
you don't know me so ill have to persist, (whistle)
Em                  C
I'm kinda shy so no wonder why, 
D                         G
Kristina she don't know I exist.

G                      C
From class to class, I followed her,
D                        G
But I swore id leave her undisturbed,
Em                            C
And if she'd ever stopped and turned around,
D                           G
I'd get so nervous that I'd stare at the ground.
G                   C
And then one day in photography, 
D                            G
I found a contact print that I could not believe, 
Em                        C
and there she was staring back at me.
D                     G
So I took her home so quietly.

   G         C    
Oh Kristina, Kristina, 
   D                       G
do you have any clue who I am? (HELL NO!)
Em                      C     
So listen up cause I'll tell ya once 
         D                              G
and I'll explain myself the best that I can, 
G         C
Kristina, Kristina 
          D                       G
you don't know me so I'll have to persist, [whistle]
Em                  C
I'm kinda shy so no wonder why, 
D                         G
Kristina she don't know I exist.

G C D G Em C D G 

G    C  
1.17.98 
D                        G
has been a day that I've come to hate,
Em                   C
As I walked into the video store,
D                         G
There she stood as my jaw fell to the floor.
G                    C
Tapping her toe, and waiting in line,
D                G
With a movie and another guy,
Em                C
Why did I bother, Why did I care,
D                     G
About this girl named Kristina Behr?

G         C
Kristina, Kristina, 
       D                       G
you'll never get to know who I am (YOUR LOSS!)
Em                 C
This is goodbye so please don't cry 
            D                       G
and ill let you down as softly as I can,
G         C
Kristina, Kristina, 
D                            G
another name to cross off my list.
Em               C
Another life, it could've been nice, 
    D                                G
but Kristina she won't know what she missed.

It's 2:00 in the morning right now, so I'll edit this and add more detail later if someone wold like. Message me if you need help with it. Horns go to the same progression as the verse.

Sick And Sad

I know it's a Catch 22 song, but it was also on the Keasby Nights
 Album covered by Streetlight. Either way, it's Toh Kay's work, so here
 It is.

Verses/ Main chord progression: C-C-Am-Am-F-F-G-G
opening Chord progression: C-C-C-G-Am-Am-Am-G-F-F-F-C-G-G-G-G


C
You, You try, you try to get

G
...

Am
Your never gunna pull it off you shouldn't even try

G
You're a

F
Wet Cigarette, You're always second Best

C
....

G
They're never gunna give a shit about anybody but themselves

C
So you try

ect ect.
When the Song speeds up, use only two measures of each chord, and cut out those hanging extra chords that lead to each other
Hard to explain, I know.
If it makes it easier for you, you can just leave out those extra chords at the end
 of each progression in the beginning

Enjoy! message me if you need help.

F                  Am                   Gm
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
                 Bb
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
F                  Am                Gm
And I have to speculate that God himself
                 Bb
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
F               Am               Gm
True, it may seem like a stretch, but
                   Bb
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
F                Am                 Gm
When you are out there on the road for
                       Bb
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home
F                             C
They will see us waving from such great
            Gm              Dm
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
F                                  C
But everything looks perfect from far away,
          Gm                Dm
'come down now,' but we'll stay...

I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
That frankly will not fly. you will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home 

They won't see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now", they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now", but we'll stay...

(music)

They won't see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now", they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now", but we'll stay...

(They won't see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now", they'll say
They won't see us waving from such great heights)

A Moment Of Silence

C          G         
And so she wakes up
Am         F
in time to break down
C          G
She left a note up on the dresser
Am         F
and she's right on time
C       Em           F
You don't know anything

C        G
I said I know

I wanna panic

'cause it's all that you've got
Am                       Em
You'd be better off just up and leaving
       Dm                    F
if you don't think they will stop

C                   G

Don't wanna find her full name followed by dates
C              G         
because when i left her alone
Am           F

C        G        Am           F
"You're known by everyone for everything you've done"
C           Em

I'll start the engine but I can't take this ride for you
C                            G
I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun

Okay, so I'm sorry I haven't gotten much further into editing this tab. Hopefully this will be a better version.

Chorus: F-C-G-C
Verses: C-F-C-G

Start by strumming G slowly, then....

I've got a...

F
Gun in my

C
Hand but the

G
gun won't

C
Cock

My Finger's on the

C
Trigger, but the 

G
Trigger seems

Locked

Ect Ect

When the horns come in at the end of the first chorus, strum then mute G

and then go into the verse riff of C-F-C-G for the horn part

VERSE:

C
If there was something

F
Wrong, would you be oh so

C
Strong, What would you do to 

G
Move this shallow life

C
Along, I'd like to think

ect ect. 
until:

And the days and the days they seem like

I'd like to sing a song

I'll keep trying and such.

Dear
        C   G  Am                  F
Mr. Gepetto: I hope this finds you well
  G           C     G
I wrote this letter
           E5              F
'cause we miss you here in hell

           C                      G
And now I know it's hard when you don't know what to think
     Am                      F             G
And every single smile is a thorn when you're waking up
C                        G                         Am
  You might try but you won't get by until you're crucified for all the
F           G
things you try to do

     C                   G
Well I don't care if you sink or swim
    Am                    Em
And I don't care how you hold it in
    F                 C              F                      G
As long as you don't bother me with all the things I don't bother you with

    C               G
And 9 times out of 10 you might be right
Am                     Em
  But what about that time you know you're wrong?
F                  C
 Keep singing that same song
    F                             G
And everybody smiles but they'll never get along

     XX              XX            X X   X   X  X
I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go:
But everybody's going down tonight

[Chorus]
C5                   G5
 We are the few that won't say nothing right
A5                     F5    G5
 We are the footsteps fading into the night
C5                G5                 A5        F5    
      G5
 Nobody cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say:

I never wanted this, no one ever wanted this
A5                          F5               G5
But they gave it to me so I might as well be proud of it
   C5                 G5
And I don't know where we went wrong
A5                  F5            G5
All i know now is i got to do something right

C G Am F G

F       G
So come clean
C                          G                           Am
No one should have have to live with the things you've seen
    F             G
But you're living anyway
       C                G
Well I stop the car and put her in park
   Am                  Em
And I step outside (god I hate this part)
       F                     C                         F
When I see what I saw what I thought was a lie; it was more
                        G
Than a chore I'm just doing what I need to get-

C                   G
I don't care if you leave or stay
      Am
But we might as well split
             Em                 F
Because it's not the same as it was
                 C
When we said our last goodbye
     F                           G
And if you want the truth: I was hoping one of us would
C                        G               Am
  Pass away because it'd be much easier then
                   Em                      F
We could all get together and think about when
                       C                        F
We were young we were dumb we were numb but in love
                      G
And I'm done so I'm sending out this letter today

     XX              XX             XX  X X  X
I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go:
But everybody's going down tonight

[Bridge]
C          G         Am        F     G
And as the day fades no one investigates
C          G            Am        F   G
Nobody answers when she calls his name
C          G      Am            F      G
Another victim, somewhere in a shallow grave
C            G           Am     F[one strum]
 I want to hold her and tell her: it's not your fault

Na na na...

It's not your fault

I swear that I had it but everyone wouldn't agree

They said I never had a thing

My dying words will be exaggerations
Cm          Cm7         G     D
Of what I said and what I did

The ticking of the clock

Eventually it stops

The writings on the wall

And even Romans know

The Hands That Thieve

Intro- C Em Am G F
C Am F
Hoy encuentro tu imagen en el mismo lugar
C Am F
como en sueños inciertos te estoy viendo llegar
C Am F
ya no hay luz de escena, ya no estas
C Am
me sorprende tu voz y nuestra
F
historia de amor, en la melodia
C Am F
soñamos con cambiar el dia, la oscuridad, la cancion
C Em Am G F
pero nunca supimos amar
C Em Am G F
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
C Em Am G F
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Es de noche, hay silencio, necesito hablar
y una lluvia de invierno se quedo con mi soledad
el mundo podía desaparecer
mientras nuestra nabe volaba hacia nuevos lugares
buscabamos vida
tratamos de disimular, locura y propiedad
pero nunca supimos amar
un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Malicia en tus sueños, me hacias volar
tu cuerpo y el mio guardaron secretos
y una rara armonia
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
si tu amor no se murio, por favor, donde esta?
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Buscabamos vida

I found a love for me
               C                         D

                G                 Em
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home

I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime

I see my future in your eyes

D                                              G
All the cons were dancing and the men began to wail
        A                              G
But the guys were indiscrete they were balling in the street

At the local dance at the local county jail

Well the band were playing and the booze began to flow

But the sound came over on the police car radio

D                                                 G
Sergeant Baker and his men made a beeline for the jail
D                                              G
And for miles around you could hear the sirens wail
          A                                  G
There's a rumour going down death row that a fuse is going to blow

Rubber Bullets

Hay que poner la cejilla en el tercer traste.
El LA se hace con cejilla en el quinto traste.

Hay un misterio que está creciendo
LAmaj7 C#m7
No tiene dueño solamente entre tú y yo

No tiene prisa, no vale dinero

No tiene remedio, nos contagia a los dos
FA# FA#
Lo tengo claro, sé lo que quiero

Noche de calor

Intro:        
D Gm D Gm


Verse:
D          Gm                D
 Never ending symptoms in my head
            Gm             D
We lay hollow in the emptiness
            Gm                     Bm
I'm too tired to push you from the bed



Pre-Chorus:
A#                 
 No more fighting
F
 No more fighting
Am               A#     
 No more fighting for us



Chorus:
F       Gm      D#  A#
Feel the void in our bed
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening
   F       Gm      Dm    A#
Oh we don't bend or break it
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening



Verse:
D               Gm                    D
 No one's moving, we lack the courage to
                   Gm                  D
We lay in stalemate, wishing the other would
                   Gm                     Bm
But we're too tired, we're at the ember's core

A#                 
 No more fighting
F
 There’s no more fighting
Am                            A#     
 There’s no more fighting for us



Chorus:
F       Gm      D#  A#
Feel the void in our bed
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening
   F       Gm      Dm    A#
Oh we don't bend or break it
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening



Bridge:
Am       A#      Gm               C
 No more fighting, we've given up now
Dm            D#        A#
 Silence says more than words
Am     A#  Gm           C
 Imagination cures loneliness when
Dm            D#      A#
 You become a prisoner



Chorus:
F       Gm      D#  A#
Feel the void in our bed
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening
   F       Gm      Dm    A#
Oh we don't bend or break it
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening

Space Between

F                    G      C      Am G
The world is treating me bad... misery. 

C               F
I'm the kind of guy,
    C             F
Who never used to cry,
                         G      C     Am G
The world is treatin' me bad... misery

C                     F
I've lost her now for sure,
  C                F  
I won't see her no more,
                G       C
It's gonna be a drag... misery

Am                           C           
I'll remember all the little things we've done
Am                                 G         G7
Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one.


C                F
Send her back to me,
       C            F
'Cause everyone can see
                   G     C
Without her I will be in misery


Am                           C
I'll remember ...


C                F
Send her back to me...

Misery

C                        F 
Back in the old folky days
Am            Em              D
The air was magic when we played
C                                   F
The river boat was rocking in the rain
Am                Em            D
Midnight was the time for the raid
G
Oh Isabella, Proud Isabella
Am
They tore you down and plowed you under
Bm                             C
You're only real with your makeup on
G                 D
How could I see you and stay too long

C                        F
All along the Navaho Trail
Am                  Em                 D
burnouts stub their toes on garbage pails
C                          F
Waitresses crying in the rain
Am                   Em                 D
Will their boyfriends pass this way again?
G 
Oh Mother Goose, she's on the skids
Am
the shoe* ain't happy neither are the kids  
Bm                        C
She needs someone that she can scream at
G                    D
And I'm such at heel for making her so bad

C                                F
I guess I'll call it sickness gone
Am                   Em                D
It's hard to say the meaning to this song
C                              F
An ambulance can only go so fast
Am               Em               D
It's easy to get buried in the past
C                                  F
When you try to make a good thing last
Am   Em   D

G
I saw today, in the entertainment section
Am
There's room at the top for private detection
Bm             C
To Mom and Dad this just doesn't matter
G                    D
But it's either that or pay off the kidnappers
C                          F
So all you critics sit alone
Am                    Em                        D
You're no better than me for what  you've shown
C                                               F
With your stomach pump and your hook and ladder dreams
Am                 Em               D
We could get together for some scenes

G
Well I'm up in T.O.  keepin' jive alive
Am
and out on the corner it's half past five
Bm                        C
But the subways are empty and so are the cafes
G                              D
Except for the Farmer's Market and I can still hear him sayin'
C                                  F
"You're all just pissin' in the wind
Am             Em             D
You don't know it but you are"
C                              F
And there ain't nothing like a friend
Am                           Em              D
Who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind

G
I never knew a man could tell so many lies
Am
he had a different story for every set of eyes
Bm                  C
How can he remember who he's talking to?
G                        D                        G(hold)
Cause I know it ain't me and I hope it isn't you

Ambulance Blues

Gm 
Hoje eu tive um sonho que foi o mais bonito 
Que eu sonhei em toda a minha vida 
Sonhei que todo mundo vivia preocupado 
Tentando encontrar uma saída 
 Cm              G            Bb 
Quando em minha porta alguém tocou 
 D7                          Gm 
Sem que ela se abrisse ele entrou 
 Cm         F           Bb          Eb 
E era algo tão divino, luz em forma de menino 
 Ab                   D7 
Que uma canção me ensinou 
G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            Gm 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 Gm 
Tinha na inocência a sabedoria 
Da simplicidade e me dizia 
Que tudo é mais forte quando todos cantam 
A mesma canção e que eu devia 
 Cm        F         Bb 
Ensinar a todos por ali 
  D7                            Gm 
E quantos mais houvessem para ouvir 
   Cm            F          Bb        Eb 
E a fé em cada coração, na força daquela canção 
  Ab                        D7 
Seria ouvida lá no céu por Deus 
 G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            Gm 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 Gm 
E saí cantando meu pequeno hino 
Quando vi que alguém também cantava 
Vi minha esperança na voz de um menino 
Que sorrindo me acompanhava 
 Cm             F          Bb 
Outros que brincavam mais além 
   D7                         Gm 
Deixavam de brincar pra vir também 
   Cm           F          Bb        Eb 
E cada vez crescia mais aquele batalhão de paz 
 Ab                        D7 
Onde já marchavam mais de cem 
G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            G  D#7 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 G#m 
De todos os lugares vinham aos milhares 
E em pouco tempo eram milhões 
Invadindo ruas, campos e cidades 
Espalhando amor aos corações 
 C#m           F#         B 
Em resposta o céu se iluminou 
 D#7                G#m 
Uma luz imensa apareceu 
 C#m               F#         B           E 
Tocaram fortes os sinos, os sons eram divinos 
  D#7                    G#m 
A paz tão esperada aconteceu 
  C#m           F#       B            E 
Inimigos se abraçaram e juntos festejaram 
  A                           D#7 
O bem maior, a paz, o amor e Deus 
 G# 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                           D# 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                           G# 
La la la la la la la la la la

A Guerra Dos Meninos

E B
Yo seré lo que tú quieras que sea
C#m G#m
seré tu amante cuando tú lo prefieras
A E B
cuando revientes en llantos róbame un abrazo tal vez algo más..
E B
No te preocupes por quitarme la vida
C#m G#m
me la devuelves cuando tu lo decidas
A E B
y que no importe si el viento en otro momento nos vuelve a juntar...

A B E
y ya no estás arañándome la espalda,
G#m A E B
no me importa lo que hagas, si tu quieres vuelveme a esperar
(E-B-C#m-G#m-A-E-B)x2
eh eh eh...

G#m A (B-A)
Si vuelvo a sufrir ...!que me coman a besos!
A E A E
doy gracias por amarme, y por abandonarme
A G#m A B E
en lugar de tu amor escogí una luz para poder consolarme

Yo seré lo que tu quieras ....
Yo seré lo que tú quieras...

Por el momento y situacion en la cual escuche este tema me senti un tonto
he jurado no volver a cometer los mismos errores del pasado
es mi turno de recompensarte por todo lo que hiciste por mí
ahora yo te la dedico KaRyKatu my liebe....
