Matt Costa (* 16. Juni 1982 in Huntington Beach, Kalifornien, USA)  Matt Costa wurde in Huntington Beach geboren und wuchs in Cypress/Kalifornien auf. Er bekam bereits mit 12 Jahren seine erste Gitarre, doch sein Interesse am Skateboardfahren stieg und seine Gitarre geriet immer mehr in Vergessenheit. Schon recht früh bekam er einen Profivertrag als Skater. Doch nach 7 Jahren erfolgreichem Skaten wurde bei einem heftigen Unfall sein Bein zertrümmert. In den 18 Monaten Genesung mit Gipsverband und Krankengymnastik widmete Costa sich seiner neuen-alten Liebe: der Gitarre.

Costa nació en Huntington Beach (California), en una familia descendiente de emigrantes portugueses. La pasión por la música le llegó cuando debido a una lesión que se produjo en el 2003 practicando skateboard estuvo 18 meses en rehabilitación y la gran cantidad de tiempo que tenía que estar inmóvil la empleaba en componer y grabar canciones con la única ayuda de su guitarra y un radiocassette casero.

[Verse]
Bb				     Eb			  Bb
I've been waiting, pacing along the halls ever since you left here
				              Eb              Bb
I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dear
Bb					Eb		      Bb
I can't fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
	
I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me
Eb				    F
Swallowing glass just to stay pure

Bb					Eb
All the birds are heading down south but you're staying up north you say
Bb					Eb			Bb
I've got jackets blankets and sheets, its going to be a cold december

[Bridge]
It could be warm you see, a statue next to me
Swimming away from the ice and snow
Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me
						     F		Eb
Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldn't see
	  F
I couldnt see

[Chorus]
			Bb (trim)               Eb G		
If only time could slow down, maybe I could come up
G Eb F

	It's such a cold december

y así tus velas elevar

[Coro 2]
Am        F            C
  Yo sólo sé decir de nada, 
        E7                  Am
por las islas que traje del mar
              F                  C
No ruegues jamás, nunca más, de nada
         E7                     Am
¡Ha! Genial es mi manera de servir, 
    F
de nada, 
    C
de nada

[Parte Rap]
C
De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

[Coro 3]
Am          F              C
  Yo sólo puedo decir, de nada (de nada)
           E7              Am
Por el mundo especial que doy
                 F           C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)
    E7                     Am
De nada hablaré, que ya me voy
          F            C
Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)
       E7             Am
Pues quiero esa barca ya
             F          C
Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)
       E7               Am
Pues Maui nada sabe de nadar
              F                 C  F C
(De nada) De nada (De nada) de nada
         C
Y gracias

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
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
