A Em A Em A Em G D D
Em...

Em                  C     G        D
Oh hello, how are you, my favorite son? 
      Em          C        G           D    
In an hour I will go where I've never gone 
       Em          C       G                    D    
In the span of the space between your mother's eyes 
         Em                C          
are the secrets that I've saved 
   G                 D
I hand them down to you 


A   Em      A            Em
oooooh. The averages and laws, 
         A               Em         G      D
it was every man for himself every child alone 


    Em          C        G          D    
Oh why do they shine so bright in my dreams? 
      Em                   C          G         D
Golden blades, forged from love, they sever my feet 
        Em               C          G               D               
but you know, where I'm going, when all is said and done 
         Em               C
I don't need them or my secrets 
G                  D
Just the grace of one 


C
here they come 
C
here they come 
C
here they come... 
              G          D
oh hear they come! 
               C                     G          D
is everything signed? Is everything done? 
                     A            Em
I'm sorry about the blood 
        A              Em
...the devil and his stones 
       A              Em             G      D        D
It was every man for himself, every child alone


Em                C           G            D
Please tell your mother I'm sorry for the strife 
          Em         C           
tell your brother I loved him 
        G           D
...the same to his wife 
       Em          C        G            D    
and if you have a heart to take my life away 
         Em                  C       G           D        D
give me something, give me anger to remember you today 


                 C
'Cause here they come 
             G        D
oh here they come 
              C                      G        D
Is everything signed? Can nothing be undone? 
                     A
I'm sorry about the blood 
                     C             C*
...the devil and his stones  
                G            D                C
It was every man for himself, every child alone...

I wrote me a book, hid the last page 
D/B                D/B
I didn?t even look; I think I locked in a cage,
D/G                D/G                      D
Wrote a novel, cuz everyone likes to read novels 

D 

D                              D
It started with a word and it started pretty well
D/B                                 D/B
About a rare and fragile bird that I couldn?t even spell 
D/G                    D/G                    D
On the table, I think I left it on the table 

D

D                            Bm
I found the last page in the sky 
Bm                       G
Cold and sweet like an apple 
G                            D
Found you and now the story has its proper end 

G                       D
All alone, will you be mine? 
A                    Bm

All the streets are warm today, hey

I haven?t been this in love in a long time,
G               D             A
The sun is out, the sun will stay
A
All for the new day

D  Bm   G   D 

D                            D 
The very last breath of the hero of out tail, 
D/B                                   D/B                  D/G
Would leave you only to guess did he truly prevail in the sequel 
D/G                           D 
I guess I?ll have to write a sequel 

D                       Bm
My favorite part when I die,
Bm                    G
In your arms, like a movie 
G                                   D 
It?s tragic but now the story has its proper end.

G  D  A  Bm  G  D  A  A  

G                      D 
All alone, will you be fine, 
A                  Bm                G
I haven?t felt this alive in a long time, 
        D                    A 
All the streets are warm and grey, hey
G          D 
I read the signs, 
Bm                         A 
I haven?t been this in love in a long time,
G             D              A 
The sun is out, the sun will stay

Baby really hurt me
                Am 
crying in the taxi
                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm
says you make the big mistake of dancing in my store 
Gm                  C
   Says it was poison
                 F
So I guess I go home 
          Am                     Dm
into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am
play it romance
         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Verse 2]
            F 
The truth is, I am toy
                Dm
that people enjoy
                Am               A#
till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive

You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D

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

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

And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

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

To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A

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.
