And now I finally see that the further we go
     C#                            F#           G#
We're only treading ground that we already know
        Eb                     C#
I could write you a song, send you a note,
    Bb   G#       F#
Or empty out your trash.
          C#               F#           G#    
And buy a bucket full of diamonds but

Even the most beautiful of all
Eb              C#
Roses must someday crumble

Certain tragedy

So it's on in to the lonely night, and all the rest
C#     F#         Eb               F#           G#
Of it's the empty space between me and the sunken wall

Feelin' someone's hand around my neck

I'll probably hang upside down from wooden

At Your Funeral

G#m                  E
I said I'd walk you home after our third round 
                   B                      F#
of pouring whiskey down the barrel of our guts
                           G#m
and I grabbed hold of your hand. 
      E            F#            E                    G#m 
We're up and we're out and we're yelling through the streets
    E             F#             
and I'm out of my fucking mind 

B                           E                C#m               E
  And I know you're next to me but I must confess what's in my head.

             G#m                     E                                B
Keep pumping now, legs to beat the ground, and our hearts to beat the band.
                   F#
The sky's on fire again. 
                  G#m
Run down this alleyway.
                 E                       B                         F#   
Lightning bolts again and we become fireflies just flashing at the air.
               G#m
Rattle garbage cans. 
   E          F#         E                G#m       E                F# 
Prepare to be ravaged by our lust burning mad, the fire that we've become.

B                         E                C#m               E
  And I know you're under me but I must confess what's in my head:

E F# B
E B  F#
  
   G#m    F#       E           G#m              F#         E  
To me you are the light from a light bulb that breaks sometimes
        G#m    F#       E         G#m      F#    E  
and the tender warmth inside is released into my life

   G#m    F#       E           G#m             F#         E  
To me you are the light from a light bulb that breaks sometimes
        G#m    F#       E         G#m      F#    E  
and the tender warmth inside is released into my life

       G#m      F#     E          G#m       F#        E 
and it smothers me in flames that lick and scorch my face.
        G#m     F#        E       G#m    F#     E 
As the smoke reaches the sky know I'm burning tonight.

     G#m    F#     E 
Know I'm burning tonight.
     G#m    F#     E 
Know I'm burning tonight.
     G#m    F#     E 
Know I'm burning tonight.

          G#m      F#    E
Know I'll burn for you tonight.

Stay What You Are

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

C                    Em7            F
You could pick the time and the place

Dreaming My Dreams With You
Recorded by Waylon Jennings
Written by Allen Reynolds

C
I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore 

Maybe I've learned this time

I hope that I find what I'm reaching for 
                    G7
The way it is in my mind

F
Some day I'll get over you 
C
I'll live to see it all through
G7
But I'll always miss dreaming 
               C
My dreams with you


But I won't let it change me not if I can

I'd rather believe in love

And give it away as much as I can 
                          G7
To those that I'm fondest of

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
