F                    C   
two castaways lost drifting slowly

Bb                   C                   
to be washed on some distance shore

Spooks

F                Bb
So tired of this heavy load.
F                         Bb
I've been carrying it for so long.
Dm                   Bb
I don't know what it wants with me.
C                      
Lord, please let me be.

F (x4)

F                                Bb
Rolling dice on my hotel room bed.
F                                                Bb
Man, it feels so nice to love some one she said.
C                      Bb                           F
Cause when the evening comes I'm scared to be bad all by myself.
C                      Bb                        F
And I know exactly how it feels to be by myself.


F
And now she's singing,
F                                   Bb
Happiness always scared me half to death.
F                                    Bb
Never had myself no lovin' to caress."
C                        Bb                                  F
Little darling stop those tears and dry your eyes, I'm a be right here.
C                          Bb                               F
And I'd really love to stay tonight, if you'll have me here.

F
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
F                               Bb
Little girl you know I love you so.
Dm                               Bb
Let's take it easy now and simmer down.
C                                       F
Little girl, let's take the long way home.

Lets Take The Long Way Home

We're Already Gone

E                    C#m
This day is getting older,
 Ab                     A
In fading light it's beautiful.
E                        C#m
This wind is blowing colder,
 Ab                         A
And too soon I'll feel its pull.

E
Still, I took all my chances,
 C#m
Earned myself an even score.
 Ab                      A
Try to learn my lessons well.
E
And I don't have the answers,
       C#m
For those questions anymore.
   Ab                              A
Only love can be both heaven and hell.

E                           C#m
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
      Ab               A
For the road is long ahead.
     E                              C#m
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
        Ab                  A
But your road is yours to tread.
   E                      C#m
And so it goes, and so it goes,
       Ab                       A
And so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
     E          C#m                    Ab                 A
And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,

Mind, mind.

E                     C#m
I've grown old on this ocean,
Ab                      A
Gave her all, my stronger years.
E                  C#m
Gave my wife my devotion,
Ab                          A
When she died, the ocean my tears.

E
I've tried to teach you well son,
C#m
All of everything I knew.
Ab                         A
Of how to live this life be true.
E
Don't bow your head to no one,
C#m
And no matter what you do,
Ab                         A
If you start then see it through.

E                          C#m
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
Ab                     A
For the road is long ahead.
E                                 C#m
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
Ab                         A
But your road is yours to tread.
E                       C#m
And so it goes, and so it goes,
Ab                             A
And so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
E                     C#m                Ab
A
And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind.

She said my boy don't fill up your heart with nothing but love.

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change

[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Situations

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
