Why get up in the morning to work at Taco Bell when you could be traveling the continental US pushing your band's fresh new sound to people near and far? Precisely the philosophy of five guys from Tallahassee, FL. Derek, Jeremy, Alex, Brooks and Jake all decided to quit their jobs thinking outside of the bun and started to think about performing in a parade   Mayday Parade was born when two popular Tallahassee bands, Kid Named Chicago and Defining Moment, decided to merge and form one group. Both bands had been friends for a long time but they each seemed to have different kind of holdups.

Mayday Parade est un groupe américain d'alternative rock originaire de Tallahassee en Floride. Formé en 2005 par les membres de Kid Named Chicago et Defining Moment, Mayday Parade a sorti son Extented Play : Tales Told By Dead Friends en 2006, vendu à plus de 20 000 exemplaires sans l'aide d'un label. Mayday Parade est actuellement en contrat avec Fearless Records.  Leur plus gros succès à ce jour est la chanson &quot;When I Get Home, You're So Dead&quot; présente sur leur EP.

Mayday Parade ist eine im Jahre 2005 gegründete Alternative Rock Band aus Tallahassee, Florida, Vereinigte Staaten.  Mit einem noch unentschlossenen Namen ging die Band ins Studio und nahm ihre erste EP Tales Told By Dead Friends mit dem Produzenten Lee Dyess auf. Während dieser Zeit entschieden sie sich für den Namen Mayday Parade. Als erstes ging die Band mit Brandston und M&ecirc;l&eacute;e auf US-Tour. Kurz nach dem Release der EP gingen sie auf Tour mit den Plain White T's.   

G                                 Em
A show of hands, who has said these words before 
               C                            G               D
With a show of hearts on the floor, who has ever meant them more 
          G                          Em
Well I'll swallow my pride if you'll stay for the years 
    C                        D
And watch me spin circles as I disappear 
G                                Em
Hearts, they don't lie they just quiver in fear 
       C     D    Em
As you say 
  C                D
Tonight we, forget everything 
    Em       C        G
And stay the night 
         Em                   C
If I was wrong then I'm sorry
     G         C
I'll stop this fight
        D
For the night
         Em               C
And this empty space left in the seat
G                 Em                C    D  Em  C  G
To my right where you should be says a lot
      Em             C  G
Don't let it say goodbye
      G     Em          C                  G                Em
And today I know that tomorrow is going to shine golden and bring our
C            D
hearts back home 

And today meant nothing, because youre gone

And I swear that this meant everything to me, because my hearts not home

One Man Drinking Games

Jamie All Over

C
Katy don't cry I know
       G            Am
You're trying your hardest
                 F
And the hardest part is letting
C
 Go of the nights we shared
 G        Am                        G
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting
        F                G            Am                C
But compared to your eyes nothing shines quite as bright
            F              G            Am         C
And when we look to the sky it's not mine but I want it so



[chorus]
C
Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
   G                Am
(I know he's there)
                                 G
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
                                  F
(While across the room he stares)
                            G
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
                   Am                 G
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes

              F                 G         Am
Because these words were never easier for me to say
   C              F
Or her to second guess
     G
But I guess
     F               G
That I can live without you but
    F                G           C
Without you I'll be miserable at best


                            G
You're all that I hoped I'd find
                Am
In every single way
                       G
And everything I could give
                            C
Is everything you couldn't take
                          G                                Am
Cause nothing feels like home you're a thousand miles away
                          G
And the hardest part of living
                               F
Is just taking breaths to stay
                                G
Because I know I'm good for something
                         Am
I just haven't found it yet
        G         C   
But I need it, so



[chorus]


C, G, Am, F 
C             G        Am   G       C
(Ladada ladada ladada oh   ohhh)


                                       G
And this will be the first time in a week

That I'll talk to you
                Am
And I can't speak
                                              G
It's been three whole days since I've had sleep
                                         C
Because I dream of his lips on your cheek

And I got the point that I should leave you alone
      G
But we both know that I'm not that strong
   Am                              G
And I miss the lips that made me fly


  C
So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
   G                Am
(I know he's there)
                                 G
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
                                   F
(while across the room, he stares)
                            G
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
                   Am                 G
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
              F                 G         Am
Because these words were never easier for me to say
   C               F
Or her to second guess
     G
But I guess
     F              G     
That I can live without you but
     Am              G
Without you I'll be miserable
    F              G
And I can live without you
         Am              G
But without you I'll be miserable
    F              G    
And I can live without you
         Am              G           C
Oh, without you I'll be miserable at best

Miserable At Best

(VERSE)
Am                  F
The words are coming I feel terrible
      C                 G
Is it typical for us to end like this
    Am
Am I just another scene
      F                       C        G
From a movie that you've seen 100 times
           Am                          F
Cause baby you weren't the first or the last or the worst
         C                             G
And I've got to fill the blanks in the past with a verse
             Am                     F                 C
And we could sit around and cry but frankly your not worth it
     G
Anymore

(CHORUS)
Am                      F                       C             
       G
So say hello to all the boys at the top of this table that your under
Am                F
Lipstick lullabies
        C                   G
This is sorry for the last time
        Am                      F
And baby I understand that your making new friends
        C           G
This is how you get by
  Am           F
The moral this time is
C                  G      Am
Girls make boys cry

Am            F           C    G
And your name remains the same
Am            F           C         G
All that has changed is this pretty face
Am
So pull the trigger
F
It never gets closer
C
You want to start over
G
But never start over

When I Get Home You're So Dead

CHORUS
         Em7      Cmaj7    G
And we'd both go, down together
     D               Em7
We'd stay there forever
     Cmaj7      G  D
Just try to get up
        Em7     Cmaj7       G
And I'm sorry, this wasn't easy

When I asked you believe me, and never let go


VERSE 1
         Em7              Cmaj7             G              D
Well I'm thinking of the worst things, that I could say to you
      Em7             Cmaj7             G   D
But a promise doesn't mean a thing, anymore
         Em7           Cmaj7 
And this never will be right with me
    G                 D
And now you're trying desperately
         Em7             Cmaj7                   G   D
But I'm, tongue-tied and terrified of what I'll say


CHORUS

POST CHORUS
          Em7 D
But I let go


VERSE 2

I could only sing you sad songs
And you could sing along
And you could see the melody, that's been calling at your walls
This never will be right with me
And now you're trying desperately
But I'm, tongue-tied and terrified of what I'll say
But I never told you everything
I'm losing hope and faded dreams
And every single memory, along the way

Black Cat

F C G  (x2)

F              C
  She left her books, her car, 
    G
her clothes, and a note

But all she wrote was
F              C            G
"Tonight I'm leaving on a train"
F                       C
She says she's headed west
           G
To make it right for one more night
    F              C                G
And, well, I don't blame her if she is

    F
But he thinks it's
C                   G
just one more sunset
                        F
And after all, it's her fault
       C                G
If she hasn't caught on yet

                     Am
So why'd you have to go?

Is there something I could
F
say to make you turn around?
      C
Cause nights like these
                      G
I wish I'd said don't go
                 Am
Is there anybody there?
            F
Can anybody help to

get me out of here?
             Am
Cause you're walking
       G                F
down a road that I can't go

F                       C
She says she's headed west

To make it right for one more night

Try as I might,

I just can't handle this
 F
I lost myself inside 

a drunken kiss
     C
And I, all that I wanted

was to walk you home

Save a sad song for
    E/G#
the sing-along

Oh my God, 

I just can't handle this
 F
I lost myself inside 

a drunken kiss
     C
And I, all that I wanted

was to walk you home
       G
Save a sad song for
    E/G#
the sing-along

And she thinks she'll
G                  Am Am Am
be my tourniquet
F                      G
As the record on my stereo
          Am
Plays her favorite song
    C
for two whole days
        F
And the drag streched
        G
out for miles and miles
    Am
And what she'd give 

for one more smile
    F
And how she hoped 

he missed her
                G
Cause, God, she missed
             
how he would kiss her

                     C
So why'd you have to go?

Is there something I could
F
say to make you turn around?
      Am
Cause nights like these
                      G
I wish I'd said don't go
                 C
Is there anybody there?
            F
Can anybody help to

get me out of here?
             Am
Cause you're walking
       G                F
down a road that I can't go

# Repeat

             Am
Cause you're walking
       G                F
down a road that I can't go
             Am
Cause you're walking

down a road that I can't go
             Am
Cause you're walking

down a road that I can't

Champagne's For Celebrating (i'll Have A Martini)

C
Jessie says she's been

here for a thousand days
  Am
A thousand days to her

that just don't mean a thing
          G
Cause the city makes a

perfect place to sleep
    C
And daddy's coming home

He said he brought her things
    Am
But choose from every coast and

songs for them to sing
    G
But singing never got her very far
             F
And this old coast is full

of pin-up paper rockstars

                C
She said she'll run Until her
Am
feet don't touch the ground
           Dm
And as the waves carry me out
     F
Keep listening
       G            C
She'll never make a sound

So keep it coming if

it keeps you quiet
Am
  She's like the girl that
                 Dm
keeps you up all night

And she'll be a
               F        G
secret you can keep Keep me

C
Cuts on paper hearts

They can be awful deep
Am
Lips from wear and tear

on different city streets
G
Don't all need a home

but just a place to sleep

          C
So I will run
         Am
Until my feet don't

touch the ground
           Dm
And as the waves carry me out
     F
Keep listening
       G            C
She'll never make a sound

So keep it coming if

it keeps you quiet

secret you can keep Keep me
     F--G--F--G
keep me

     F
And still she finds that
           G
every time she runs

She leaves behind
        F
another piece of her
               G
On every city street

     C (ring)
So I will run

Until my feet don't touch the ground

And as the waves carry me out
     F
Keep listening

          C
So I will run
         Am
Until my feet don't

touch the ground

Bm
  Well this hurts me more

than I can stand to say
                   D
In just one sitting you

left the room so
        A
I could pray
Bm
  So I'll pace the

halls to see

If I could find a

hole in something
D
  Or maybe places
     A
to escape


Oh and everybody
G          A      Bm
knows this is the part

Of breaking down
   G  A      Bm
in anybody's arms

I'm reaching down and
G      A          Bm
hoping this one's ours
    A
God please let this take

         Bm
And then I fell into
D          G             A
pieces and she fell into me
        Bm             D
Saying "Play me a song It's been
                         G         A
too long since I've heard you sing"

G A

Bm
  And you got here

just in time

To let me know I was

worth saving
D
  It's nothing more than
        A
for the hearts
Bm
  Too proud to breathe

But I'm too scared to say

the things worth saying
D
  Who knew this trip
              A
would be this hard?


As I'm looking to the
 G     A          Bm
sky to count the stars
                G
I wonder if you see
     A         Bm
them where you are

I'm tied above my
G         A      Bm
knees and pray tomorrow
         A
grace no pay

         Bm
And then I fell into
D          G             A
pieces and she fell into me
        Bm             D
Saying "Play me a song It's been
                         G         A
too long since I've heard you sing"

         Bm             D
And yeah we all fall to pieces
       G                 A
But at least you fell to me
              Bm
But this is a wrong way
D                            G A
Tell me goodnight and let it go

G 
I stand here and
A
you just pray
   Bm
My life will flee

And I'd say safe

Walk On Water Or Drown

C               G           D/F#        Em
And honestly, I have been begging for answers 
     D                            C
That you and only you can give to me 
               G              D/F#       Em
A voice crying loud I've been crying for days now 
    D                            C
And as I start to run, I stop to breathe 

(And I was nearly scared to death) 
    G             D/F#
And I was nearly scared to death 
Em
(Why you left in paragraphs) 
D
Why you left in paragraphs 
     C
(The words were nearly over us) 
    G                 D/F#
The words were nearly over us 
     Em                         D
You stop and turn and grab your bags 

            G
And I'll be here by the ocean 

Just waiting for proof that there's 
C
sunsets and silhouette dreams 
D/F#     Em
All my sand castles fall 
         D/F#     G
like the ashes of cigarettes 
    C                       D/F#
And every waves drags me to sea 
         G
I could stand here for hours 

Just to ask God the question
    C 
"Is everyone here make-believe?" 
D/F#     Em
  With a tear in His voice
          D/F#            G 
He said, "Son, that's the question." 
          C
Does this deafening silence 
     D
mean nothing to no one but me? 

C---D/F#

C
As hours move to minutes 

And minutes take longer to break 
C
I will be desperately awaiting 

But my tongue won't fall apart 
C
And we've been sitting here for hours 

All alone and in the dark 
C                       G      D/F#
So let me think of to word it 
Em                       D
Is it too soon to say 'perfect'? 
C                  G                     D/F#
If I could find another thirty minutes somewhere 
         Em
I'm sure everything would find me 
           D
All that's left is just to sing 

            G
And I'll be here by the ocean
 
Just waiting for proof that there's 
Em
sunsets and silhouette dreams 
       C
All my sand castles fall

And you'll sing to me sweet until then 
      C                    G
I may never sail Virginia again 
          C              D
Alas this current moves slow for me 
B/Eb               Em                C
this much you must know...we'll meet again

And I'll, I'll have you know I'm scared to death

  Tell me once again that you

that you will come for me

As I fade away, you reach out your arms

(And please don't let me go)

And please don't let me go

I'll have you know I'm scared to death
 Em                                    Em               D
That everything that you had said to me was just a lie until you left

Now I'm hoping just a little bit stronger

Hold me up on just a little bit longer
 Em
I'll be fine, I swear.
 G             Dm
I'm just gone beyond repair
C                            Am
Lets write a song that we can dance to
                     Em
cause they all wanna listen
     G               D
just to know how it sounds like
I'll do that thing you know that I do
where I find inspiration
This is me breaking down when

Jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know I'm scared to death
That everything that you had said to me was just a lie until you left
Now I'm hoping just a little bit stronger
Hold me up on just a little bit longer
I'll be fine, I swear.
I'm just gone beyond repair

Lets write a song that we can sing to
and you can lead the choir
and put the hook where it hurts most
And you threw a spark that lit the candle
that set us all on fire
and sent a flame down the east coast

Jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know I'm scared to death
That everything that you had said to me was just a lie until you left
Now I'm hoping just a little bit stronger
Hold me up on just a little bit longer
I'll be fine, I swear.
I'm just gone beyond repair

And I should have been your everything.
I'm now at the end of my eternity
and I will sleep to have the darkest dreams
This just won't seem right to me
Close my eyes and beg for peace

Jersey just got colder and
Jersey just got colder and
Jersey just got colder and

Jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know I'm scared to death
That everything that you had said to me was just a lie until you left
Now I'm hoping just a little bit stronger
Hold me up on just a little bit longer
I'll be fine, I swear.
I'm just gone beyond repair

I Swear This Time I Mean It

Verse 1:
D                   A
  I look back to the one 
                Bm
and only summer time
                    A
And my girl was the envy 
                    G
of every friends of mine
                 D
She slept safely in my arms
G                     A
We were so young and invincible
D
  Closed lips, she was 
A/D                  Bm
never one to kiss and tell
Those trips in the 
A                   G
summer never went so well
              D
Young love is such dumb love
G
Call it what you want

it was still enough


Refrain:
     Bm  G D        A 
And still   out of my reach

And still   all of the things
       Bm         G
That I want in my life
D          A         G    A
How could I ask you to leave me?


Chorus 1:
    D                   G
And we were just kids in love
               A
The summer was full of 
            F#m
mistakes we wouldn't learn from
Bm          A
  The first kiss stole 
    G
the breath from my lips
G                   A
Why did the last one tear us apart?


Interlude: D--


Verse 2:
D
  Our breath smelled of 
A                 Bm
cigarettes and alcohol
                   A
We'd walk down the beach 
                G
counting every star
                  D
Our hearts beat inside our chest
G                     A
Leaving us gasping for every breath
D                   A
  Her smile with the wind 
                    Bm
blowing through her hair
       A                G D
Was so contagious in the air
G                A
So satisfying and I'm still smiling


Refrain:
     Bm  G D        A 
And still   out of my reach
     Bm  G D         A
And still   all of the things
       Bm         G
That I want in my life
D          A         G    A
How could I ask you to leave me?

Bridge:
      Bm      G
We're falling down can 
   D          A
we pick up the pieces?
            Bm       G
We're at an all time low

how do we get it back?

Kids In Love

Am             C
 Tonight is the one thing left
F              G                Am
 And I haven't said it yet, I'm falling
         C               F     G 
And the writings on the wall

Interlude: Am-C-F-G 2x

Am         C
 Today was misery
F            G                  Am
 And I just can't believe this happened
       C             F     G
And I finally broke down
Am         C
 She held onto my heart
F            G            Am                   
 But now my only star is falling
     C               F       G
Its burning to the ground
Am                F 
   Now I'm crying out

         Am       F
Secret love, my escape
         C         G
Take me far far away
         Am             F
Secret love, are you there
           C          G
Will you answer my prayer
G#
 Please take me anywhere but here

Am-C-F-G 2x

Am              C
You're all I've got right now
F           G                Am
No one else figures out this feeling
         C           F    G
And how lonely it can get
Am              C
These words can cut right through
F          G                    Am
Cause all along I've knew you're sorry
        C               F   G
But you haven't said it yet
Am                  F 
  But now I won't forget

         Am       F
Secret love, my escape
         C         G
Take me far far away
         Am             F
Secret love, are you there
           C          G
Will you answer my prayer
G#
 Please take me anywhere but here

Am-C-F-G
            
Am          B-C
When we're together
G#              Am- G- F
Thoughts of her disappear
   Am     B-  C
If I fell to pieces
G#              Am-  G-F
You'd heal this pain I feel

# one strum

         Am       F
Secret love, my escape
         C         G
Take me far far away
         Am             F
Secret love, are you there
           C          G
Will you answer my prayer

# [KEY CHANGE]

        Bm        G
Secret love, my escape
         D       A
Take me far far away
        Bm             G
Secret love, are you there
          D         A
Will you answer my prayer
A#
 Please take me anywhere but here

Anywhere But Here

# C G Am F
# for the whole song. Enjoy!

C
This place is not quite what it seems
G
Or anything that I was told it'd be
Am
New York, you know you make my heart skip
F
In my dreams I make it into Vegas

C
Seattle hits me every time
G
I can't get Chicago off my mind
Am
New Jersey taught me how to let go
F
And I've learned that's all that I need to know

C              G
In this moment we're connected
Am             F-F
If we fall, we fall together

C
Get up, get up
G
Make my heartbeat pickup
Am
Get up, get up
F
Be-be-be-beating to the rhythm

C
I spill my heart from coast to coast
G
Fall in love with everyone I know
Am
Sometimes it isn't where you're going
F
It's who you're with

C              G
In this moment we're connected
Am             F
If we fall, we fall together

C
Get up, get up
G
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Am
Get up, get up
F
I love the way you make it look so easy
C           G           Am
East coast, west coast, show me what you've got now
F
Let's go, let's go

C
Get up, get up
G
Make my heartbeat pickup
Am
Get up, get up
F
Be-be-be-beating to the rhythm

C
Get up, get up
G
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Am
Get up, get up
F
I love the way you make it look so easy
C           G           Am
East coast, west coast, show me what you've got now
F
Let's go, let's go


C
Get up, get up
G
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Am
Get up, get up

I love the way you make it look so easy
C           G           Am                     F    C
East coast, west coast, show me what you've got now

Get Up

Am  F  C  G

Am              F                                      C
Baby, I sorely miss the vibrant gleam that's in your eyes
G
I'll write a song about it
Am                   F
And maybe if the melody's just right
                         C
I hope tonight it will find you
G
It will remind you

                       Am                      F       
But what's holding me back is the thought of time we never had
               C                                G
My world's hanging by three words that I can't bear to say

Am
When you hear this chorus
         F                                  C
Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?
                         G
Do you hurt the way that I do?
                        Am
After all this time you leave me broken
F                                  C
This song is every word I left unspoken
                                 G                        Am
When you hear this, girl, I'm hoping that you think of us
                     Am
That you think of us

Am                F                                 C
Baby, I told myself that I'll be fine but it's a lie
                  G
I don't want to talk about it
Am                 F
Memories, oh they cut like knives
                   C
Deep inside I'm falling
         G
Baby, catch me if you can


Am              F                                      C
Baby, I sorely miss the vibrant gleam that's in your eyes

If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet?

C G Am F

C                G               F
  She fell to the bottom of her life
            Am         G
This wasn't meant for two
C                  G              F
  She struggles to find herself in time
            Am       G
But she can barely move

     Am
Just try and get up
          G
You gotta slowly brush off
            F
I know that words aren't enough
             G
But you're better than this

C
  Save your heart
    G                    Am
For someone that's worth dying for
      F            G
Don't give it away
C
  Torn apart,
      G                       Am
Never getting what you've been crying for
     F               G
It's always the same

C              G           F
  She turns the pages everyday
         Am          G
Just to change the mood
C           G                F
  But every chapter reads the same
           Am       G
So hard to make it through

     Am
Just try and get up
          G
You gotta slowly brush off
            F
I know that words aren't enough
             G
But you're better than this

  Save your heart
    G                    Am

Never getting what you've been crying for
     F               G
It's always the same

         C
And you give (and you give)
          G
And they take (and they take)
           Am
And it's love that you want
          F
But not love that you make

C
  Save your heart
    G                    Am
For someone that's worth dying for

Don't give it away

C 
  Save your heart
            G
For someone who leaves you breathless
      F
And I know that you're scared
           Am                G
Seems like someone said you had it in you
C                        G
  All along you said you knew this was wrong
                F         G  
But still worth dying for

C
  Save your heart
    G                    Am
For someone that's worth dying for

Don't give it away

Save Your Heart

Give me any reason to believe

'Cause I swear I'm done here

             Am             F
'Cause I've seen a bigger picture

And I'm looking for some answers

F            G
Time's racing (Please slow down)

I got to find my way out

I'm hopeless (But hoping)

Am              G
My lungs won't fail me now

       F         G
'Cause I'm still breathing

C                 G
It's hard to be a man

But I'm doing all I can

                       F
I'm ready to give this all I have

                 C
I'm ready to be amazed

                           G
'Cause I'm standing here alone

                             Am
Trying to make this life my own

                            F          G
And nothing will keep this heart from beating

F           G
I'm still breathing

Where do we all find love?

Where do we all find love?

Still Breathing

C9                 Em              D
We tried to fight for what we thought that we believed in

How can you think that any of this was easy
              Em          C9             D
With all the friends I've lost along the way?

And we all play a part in it

Innocence is falling, can you hear them calling now?

But I'll be by your side until the end

             C9                Em                    D
We tried to fight, I guess sometimes you find it's pointless
                               C9
As long as you can live with yourself
 Em                         D

 Em                   C9                        G
Innocence is falling, can you hear them calling now?
     D                             Em
And I'll be by your side until the end

The End

Bm, A, Bm, A

Bm
Tear in two, she lies awake
    G
The moon lights up the room like day
  Em
Another night she spends alone
     G
Without his touch of skin so cold

Bm, A, Bm, A

    Bm
The blood is running through her veins
     G
With every beat, there's no escape
Em
Lost in everything she trusts
G
Still can't seem to get enough

Bm
Even though the world she loves
         G
It won't ever be the way it was
        Em
And his heart of stone left hers breaking

G     A          Bm
Every night she cries
                  G              A
And dies a little more each time
        Bm
Say you love me
Em      D     G     Em
Nothing left inside
        Bm      A
Say you love me
        G            A        Bm
And the silence will set her free

Bm D

A G                     Bm D
And every night she cries
Bm                                  A
I don't know if I'll ever make this right
                   Bm                          G
Cause I am just so broken by the bitterness of loneliness

I'm so scared of this
Bm                                  A
I don't know if I'll ever make this right
                   Bm                           G
Cause  I am just so broken by the bitterness of loneliness

And I'm so scared

G     A         Bm
Every night she cries
                  G             A
And dies a little more each time
        Bm
Say you love me
Em      D      G     Em
Now she left inside
        Bm      A
Say you love me
        G            A       Bm
And the silence will set her free
                G      A
Every night she cries
Bm              G      A
Every night she cries

And The silence will set her free

The Silence

Intro C, Am9, F, G

       C                                        Am9
By the time I was your age I?d give anything to fall in love truly
                                   F
was all I could think, that?s when I met your mother the girl of my dreams,
         G
the most beautiful woman that I?d ever seen.
         C
She said boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
 Am9
?oeI can?t help but notice you staring at me,
  F
I know I shouldn?t say this, but I really believe,
      G
I can tell by your eyes that you?re in love with me.?

Chorus:

    F        G    Am9/Ab     Am9         F           G
Now son, I?m only telling you this because life can do terrible things.

That's pretty much the whole song.
It just uses those two progressions.
Enjoy!

Lyrics:

By the time I was your age I?d give anything to fall in
love truly
was all I could think,
that?s when I met your mother
the girl of my dreams,
the most beautiful woman that I?d ever seen.
She said boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
?oeI can?t help but notice you staring at me,
I know I shouldn?t say this, but I really believe,
I can tell by your eyes that you?re in love with me.?
Now son, I?m only telling you this because life can do
terrible things.

Now most of the time we?d have too much to drink
and we?d laugh at the stars and share everything.
Too young to notice and too dumb to care,
love was a story that couldn?t compare.
I said girl can I tell you a wonderful thing?
?oeI made you a present with paper and string,
open with care now, I?m asking you please,
you know that I love you,
will you marry me??


Now son I?m only telling you this because life can do
terrible things
you?ll learn one day, and I hope and I pray that God
shows you differently.

She said boy can I tell you a terrible thing?
?oeIt seems that I?m sick and I?ve only got weeks.
Please don?t be sad now, I really believe,
you were the greatest thing that ever happened to me.?

Slow, so slow, I fell to the ground on my knees.

So don?t fall in love there?s just too much to lose
if you?re given the choice, I?m begging you choose to
walk away, walk away,
don?t let it get you, I can?t bare to see the same
happen to you.

Now son, I?m only telling you this, because life can do
terrible things.

Terrible Things

Don't think forgiveness will come easy,

'Cause it's all that I have to give.
        Em              C
And, boy, I get the strangest pleasure
G             D/F#              Em    C 
Just sitting on these city rooftops

And see the lights that go on for miles."

They just won't come out right.
Em           C      G           D/F#
'Til I find mine, 'til I find mine.
      Em             C
Amber Lynn won't forget
            G                      D/F#
The simple things you know, you know me best.
  Em                  C             G  D/F#
But I can't seem to find a way to you.

It all goes back to the first kiss, it was the one I thought I'd never miss
F					            G
Maybe we were one of the lucky ones, maybe I'm just not quite strong enough...
C	                 			Am
This was supposed to be the easy part, but breaking down is what I found hard
F					             G
Now I'm wearing the smile that I don't believe in, inside I feel like screaming
              Am			   G

But my doubts somehow, they sold me out

I'm bruised and scarred, save me from this broken heart

All my love will slowly fade and fall apart

Bruised And Scarred

You say that Gainesville's

got no soul 

well that sounds like a good
                 G
excuse for coming home
              Bm
and all these Tallahassee skylines
          A
they keep singing out a song
              D
and know it's your song they've
     G
been singing all night
         Bm
and this Tallahassee rooftop just
      A
keeps calling out your name
           G
to come and sing, so stay

D

  G
So, stay

stay and watch the stars come out
                             D
and then the sun as they all fade away
 
i'll sing you every song I know

if it will make you want to stay
              Bm
and then i'll say
       A
that I missed you
          G
and these words
           A
they'll convince you


I poured through
D
every song I wrote

every line that I've cried every
                             G
note that was split with this pen
          Bm
and every line in every song
         A
they all seemed to come out wrong
      D
until your song
         G
so let's sing it

all night long
         Bm
and this Tallahassee skyline
       A
hasn't changed
          G
while the view from every

rooftop says to stay

  G
So, stay

stay and watch the stars come out
                             D
and then the sun as they all fade away
 
i'll sing you every song I know

if it will make you want to stay
              Bm
and then i'll say
       A
that I missed you
          G
and these words
           A
they'll convince you


and I could call you
D
"baby doll" all the time
          G
and you'd whisper in my ears
             Bm
you'd say “i missed you boy”

so sing it over again and
      A
over again and over again 

#(Repeat twice)


# N.C.
And I could call you

"baby doll" all the time

and you'd whisper in my ears

you'd say “i missed you boy”

so sing it over again and
      A
over again and over again


G D

           Bm
Still i'll say
       A
that I missed you
          G
and these words
           A
they'll convince you
        G
And I'm hoping that
     A
I'll kiss you


And I could call you
D
"baby doll" all the time
          G
and you'd whisper in my ears
             Bm
you'd say “i missed you boy”

so sing it over again and
      A
over again and over again 


And I could call you

"baby doll" all the time

deep calm casting over me.  And it's taking

Oh well, oh well I still hope for the best
        Em              D            C         G
Say goodbye and send me off with a kiss farewell
          Em        D            C            G
And I promise I'll be just as strong as I can be
    C            D         G
Maybe you could get some sleep tonight

               G                   D
So here's your song, it's twisting me
                C                 G
I'd give anything to make you scream
               G                 D                      
And I'll just smile and make believe I don't feel a thing
Em                 D   C
That doesn't work for me

     Em       D              C            G
Oh well, oh well. Guess I'll see you in hell
        Em           D         C              G
There's a pretty little picture that's in my head
     Em             D                 C             G
And I'm starting to dream, Changing colors while I sleep
   C                   D
Maybe I'm just wasting time

G-G    D-D    C            Em   D   C
Sit still and listen to the soundtrack
                    G-G      D-D        C
I'll tell you how I took one straight through the heart

And it's not easy to talk about


Em D C


So we all scream loud


G D C Em D C

N.C.
And that was it, 

I had made it clean just across the street with my new wings
              G        D            C          G
So I'll just fly and hope that I remember the good times when it's done

     Em       D           C        G          
Oh well, oh well, I can't live with myself
       Em                D          C         G
As I'm climbing in your window to get to your bed
         Em          D               C          G
And I'll be what you need, You can call me anything
                             D
Just as long as we're still friends


G-G    D-D    C            Em   D   C
Sit still and listen to the soundtrack
                    G-G      D-D        C
I'll tell you how I took one straight through the heart
                Em    D    C
And it's not easy to talk about

So we all sing
 G     C   Em D C
Whoa, Whoa, Who-o-oa

            G              C         Em       D
When she smiles, it's got nothing to do with me
      C                G
I'm not the one who sings her to sleep
              C                         Em    D
And I've been talking to God, Asking for just a little help with you
      C
But it's hopeless

G            C 
It's not the first time, but this one really carved it in
Em        D           C               G
Tell your new friends that they don't know you like I do
      C
It's over
Em
I wanna see you again
D
I wanna feel it again


G            C 
It's not the first time, but this one really carved it in
Em        D           C              N.C.
Tell your new friends that they don't know you like I do
      C

Em

D

                G                D
I'll keep you warm, safe in my arms
                C                G
Till heaven calls, keep holding on

Oh Well Oh Well

C2
It's time I said this
                                     Am
But I'm so choked up and I need my sanity
       F2                                G                             C2
I'm scared, believe me, you can see me smile if you let me just stick around.


C2
Well this is bye-bye baby
                                     Am
It isn't like a sudden stop on a freight train
     F2                               G                             C2
If you're not happy and you hurt this much, then let me just stick around.


                  F2                  G
But can I have one second of your time?
                               F2
If I don't it'll drive me crazy.
                                G
As I drop to my knees and scream,

I hate you more than you could know.


C2     
I hope you fall into the ocean
G                            G/G#                 Am           
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
                                      G             F2              G
As the waves crash over you until you drown. 

(And fall away..)


C2
And hold a funeral for nothing
G                                            G/G#                               Am
And celebrate how empty love can be broken
C2              G               F2               G                   
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground


C2
Now it's back to reality 
                                              Am
I'm up in shambles but I guess that's how I should be
G                                                         F2                               
I knew the wedding bells were ringing well, but my bride was missing.


                                 C2
It's not supposed to hurt this much
                                    Am
But when someone slowly breaks it off
 C2                           F2                           G                  
It tends to leave a bitter taste, a scar, that slowly rips apart.

               F2                                         G
Could I have one second of your time?
                                       F2
If I don't, it'll drive me crazy.
                                                    G
As I drop to my knees and scream, 

I hate you more than you could know.


C2     
I hope you fall into the ocean
G                             G/G#                 Am            
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around
        G             F2              G
As the waves crash over you until you drown. 

(And fall away..)


C2
And hold a funeral for nothing

And celebrate how empty love can be broken

It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground
Am  F2
Underground..


Am
I've had enough, but it's all for the best.
G
I need to get a few things off my chest.
Em   
There's got to be another way I can say it,
           F2                 G
But to get it right, I have to think straight.
Am
Hope he tastes like the way I used to taste.

I can't believe I'd even say this to you now.
             F2              G           C2
When you won't listen at all.


C2     
I hope you fall into the ocean

And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around

As the waves crash over you and over you until you drown.

C F (x2)

C                            F                      C
I can't believe that so much time was spent on my own
               F                    Am
Just tryin' to figure it out all alone
                 G            C      F
Don't show emotion, let this go

C                       F                C
I can pretend that everything is still okay
            F                        Am
Until you rightfully say what you said
              G                   F      G
The night you left me here for dead, for dead

Why do you cry when you're falling asleep?

Where did you go?
             F                          Am               G

C F  

           C              F                    C
Is it just me or has the time we spent come undone
         F                      Am
I know forever is not what you want
             G                  F            G
I'll pack my bags and brush it off, brush it off

Why do you cry when you're falling asleep?

Yeah, like I really care

Why do we fight sometimes

Just like we always do

Try and make up your mind

Well now it's hard to see with all these flashing cameras in my face
       Am		G	         F
But I love the way they play throwing shadows on the stage
   C			            Cmaj7	
I wonder where you are and what you think about this place
        Am		  G	        F
I can't help but miss the days and I'll write on every page

C	           Cmaj7                   Am
My hero, she's the last real dreamer I know
            G                F
And I could tell you all about her
		                      C
I don't think I'll fall asleep 'til I roll over
       Cmaj7	             Am
Can we just start over again?
	  G	           F
And I can tell you all about her
	                                C
I don't think I'll fall asleep 'til then

C--Cmaj7--Am-G-F

        C			           Cmaj7	
And now I just had this dream that we were on my bed again
        Am	       G	    F	           Fm
Making love the way we did, tell me how could I forget?
        C			    Cmaj7	
This can't be healthy now the way I dream about your lips
              Am	 G	             F
But this just wasn't any kiss ,I hope you're still not over this
F	          G          C
Not at least 'til I get over you

C	           Cmaj7                   Am
My hero, she's the last real dreamer I know
            G                F

I don't think I'll fall asleep 'til I roll over

Can we just start over again?

And I can tell you all about her
	                                C
I don't think I'll fall asleep 'til then

C--Cmaj7--Am-G-F(2x)

        C			       Cmaj7
And now I get left alone while you are lost in outer space
          Am	       G             F
Spreading love another way and we'll meet again someday
      C		                Cmaj7
I've taken all I can but I keep thinking just the same
              Am 	 G	     F
I guess I'll die another day but I'm sure I'll be on my way
  F	   G                      C
Maybe I'll collapse and float away

C     Cmaj7	    Am G F
Please 	      go    home...

C	           Cmaj7                   Am

You're adorable as hell, but I'm glancing at your wrist.

Oh please have faith, I can be so cavalier.

Tell them what you think about the way you handled everything.

You turned and all you left me with was this broken key.

So tell me what you think.

                    C         F           C         G
Give it up for the long nights and those terrible fights.
           C               F          C               G
Were you honest with yourself, every version of yourself?

Did you get lost on the side of the road?

If you keep acting this way I swear I'll never come home.

Tell them what you think about the way you handled everything.

We walk alone on this broken road for eternity.
               C                C/B             Am
So give me company and help me sing this lonely melody.

You turned and all you left me with was this broken key.

And I won't say a word and I'll give all the things that you want and I need

just to give me some peace.

At the bottom of the ocean there's a place for you and me.

and cut like a knife to the bone.

When You See My Friends

Em  G  C (x2)

Em              G
We used to be something surreal 
C
Others looked to us for what we built
Em              G    
We were envied until the point
C
The point in which we fell
                Em           G                C
We fell by the wayside, and slowly watched ourselves die
                        Em               G
A lonely death in which no one cared and no one came
          D                                        C  
When the walls cave in, we only have ourselves to blame

         Em              D/F#              C
And even if it's dark at least we'll be together
        Em            D/F#            C
Slowly sinking in the earth to lay forever
            Em             D/F#              C
You better grab a hold and hold on for your life
             D
Because you don't get lucky twice

Em         G       C                
Now even if it's perfect, I can't get carried away
Em         G       C
And motivate my tongue in twisted ways
                Em              G                C
It felt like a good night, for dancing and the moonlight
                         Em         G            D
In empty streets, well, everybody's got a reason why 
            Dsus              C
If we could only just get it right

      Em              D/F#               C
Maybe it will all work out like in the movies
            Em        D/F#            C
But I know Romeo must die before the ending
        Em          D/F#            C
With a final poison kiss delivered gently
             D                                      G   G   Em   C      
Because you don't get lucky twice, and that's the truth

G                                     G  D/F#
Sing to me sweet, just like my memory
            Em           
If New York City still moves me
        C
Then I found something real
G                                    G  D/F#
I'll be okay, I could go on for days
            Em                             D               C
But I just don't have the courage that it takes to be real

         Em              D/F#              C
And even if it's dark at least we'll be together
        Em            D/F#            C
Slowly sinking in the earth to lay forever
            Em             D/F#              C
You better grab a hold and hold on for your life
             D
Because you don't get lucky twice
         D
No, you don't get lucky twice

G   G   Em   C

Without The Bitter The Sweet Isn't As Sweet

C           G
She's got all my dreams,
                        D/F#    Em
I've got these broken things
               C          G      Dsus   D
And they always disagree.

                     C             G
But if there's one real thing
                   D/F#         Em
You would choose to believe, 
                 C             G         Dsus   D
Just don't lose your faith in me.

                  C         G                       D/F#            Em
She's got broken things where her heart should be
                    C                G               Dsus   D
And I keep rolling them over in my head.
                 C               G
Make my voice brand new,
             D/F#     Em
I'll give it all to you.
              C        G       D
And I'll never speak again.

                       C           G                   D/F#     Em
Oh, I've been trading places with the ghost in me
                C             G           Dsus  D
And it's starting to make me sick.
                     C             G                 D/F#         Em
But if there's one real thing I could choose to believe,
           C                       G            Dsus   D
Just a little hope would do the trick.

                  C        G                       D/F#            Em
She's got broken things where her heart should be
               C                    G                         Dsus                  D
But I can tell there are moments when I'm really getting through.
                C                 G
Make my voice brand new,
             D/F#   Em
I'll give it all to you. 
              C        G      Dsus   D
And I'll never speak again.

                   G                                  C
She'll be in magazines with all her fancy things
                   Em 
And all the boys will dream.
                   D
If you think this was easy..
               
You're wrong.

C  G  D  Em  (x4)

G       C       Em     D
Ohh.  Ohh.  Ohh.  Ohh. 
                      G     C
And now it's time
                          Em     D
Let me see you smile

Let me see it.
G       C       Em     D
Ohh.  Ohh.  Ohh.  Ohh.
G       C       Em     D
Ohh.  Ohh.  Ohh.  Ohh!

She's got broken things where her heart should be
                     C          G                Dsus    D
And I keep rolling it over in my head
             C         G                 D   D/Eb  Em
If your heart is true, then I'll be with you
                 C          G     Dsus  D
'Cause it's you that I adore.
                      C          G             D
And we both know I loved you more.

                             F
You know it's not obvious to me
                              G
But it's not plain enough to see

                Am                F
You're falling baby, I've been waiting
     C                 G
You took the long way home

In that dress, it makes me crazy

I'm not the only one

It's cold outside

Keep your heart open wide

Jennifer, the weekend's over
                                       F
But at least you made it though with style
                                G
It all comes together after a while
C                            Am
Tell me baby is it hard to admit
                          F
Do you remember what you did?
             G
Where we've been?

Or make believe that we could be just friends

Center Of Attention

C
She's in love and the world gets blurry
    F                                      A
She makes mistakes and she's in no hurry to grow up
                                  G
Cause grown ups, they don't understand her
            C
Well it's a big, big world out there
                      F                                                                      
But she's not scared, she thinks that nobody cares 
          A
About her problems
                   G
And she's probably right


A
But it's alright

You'll be fine
            F        G
If you just listen to me

C
Woah-oh-woah-oh-woah
F
Woah-oh-woah-oh-woah
             A                  G             F
We get one step closer but we're still so far away
C
Woah-oh-woah-oh-woah
F
Woah-oh-woah-oh-woah
             A                     G               F
It's too bad empty bottles couldn't save her life today

(x2)


C
She's eighteen
                  G
Much too young to know what a kiss like that would mean
         A
But her lips
             G               F
They were no stranger to the touch
                              C
And she likes it way too much
                        G
She never listened to a word her daddy told her
                
          A               G
She finds company with her cigarettes
    F
And feels alone when the sun sets
    C
And please
                  G
Don't let this be love
              A
How can it be enough
     G                   F
This college town is too small for both of us
C                     
And so we're running away
G
We'll pack our bags and take the first train
A
And we're getting the hell out of here
F
This place could burn for all we care

C               G              A           
This place could burn for all we care
G          F
Only till then

The Memory

There's a ghost in my bedroom, it haunts me at night
       Am           G            F  
I've asked him to leave, but he keeps stopping by
 Dm                          G
Just when I think that I'm alone
     C        E             F  
It shows up again with a friend this time
         Dm              G
And now this is getting old
                     Am
I don't know what to do
F           G                  C
Metaphorically, this ghost is you.
 
 
           C                      E
Now this ghost in my bedroom he gives me advice
     Am          G             F             
He promised one day that he'd teach me to fight 
F                           G
Now when I think that I'm alone
    C        E
He comes up my way with a devil smile 
         F              G
Singing this is now my home 
                 C
You're my wish come true 
          F                  E             G         C
When you reach that golden cloud I'll be there with you
 
 
                 F                C
If there were monsters in the closet 
               E                    Am
Well I don't think I would be surprised
             F                  C
I hear them call out from my window
               E                 G
They try and trick me to come outside
 
 I won't let you down-
     G         C
We talked all day
              E                F                       C
I can't tell if he's real or a made up version of her again 
  G     C                      E
Never alone, because I've got you
                    Am
Get this out of my head
 
 
             G           F  
No I won't waste away my love
                 C
On to something new
            F            E
If there's only one way out
      G             C
I'll come back for you
 
 
          F                C
If I get stuck out there forever
        E                   Am
Tell everyone that I said goodbye
               F               C
You're on my lifelong list of wishes
             E
If I could bring you back 
F                     C
We don't belong here now
                             E                      Am          
If he stays well that just means I've got numbered days
          F                  Am
Til I go back to my little world
                E                     C
Where it's just me and my imaginary friends
 
 
C
So go out and love
        Am
Find a new direction
 
 Here's my heart, keep it for protection
            E            Am
Don't get stuck on your way
           F              C
The other side's a scary place
                        Am
Do your best not to be afraid
                         Am
Lose it all when we run away
                           F  
Letting go of the little things you know I do
            C
There's a ghost in my bedroom
           E
 And he's dying to meet you
                 Am
God knows he's heard all about you
               F  
I guess he's friendly enough
                      C
Though I've seen him lie
              Am            
He's seeking roses in your bed
                       F  
Says he won't let you down
 
He will! He will! He will!
 
 
           C                    Am F  
There's a ghost in my bedroom
 
 He will! He will! He will! 
 
Will the crowd go crashing down?
 
 
                              Am
Slowly slowly how could I go down
                 F  
I want you to notice when I let go
 
 
C                             Am
Slowly slowly how could I go down?
                F  
I want you to notice when I let go
 
There's a ghost in my bedroom

C#m          E       B      A                     C#m   E    B   A 
I’m going away to be alone I’m coming back with answers
C#m           E            B    A            C#m   E   B   A
Don’t try to call my telephone it’s disconnected
C#m           E          B       A               C#m   E   B   A
And I don’t know where I’m going but can you guide me
C#m              E        B        A              C#m   E   B   A
But if I find love where I’m going will it survive me

C#m            B   A                         C#m         A   B

C#m         B   A                           C#m         A   B
And in your own time you’re still attracted but in your own life


CHORUS:

A                                 C#m            B

A                                 C#m                     B
I want some downtime so call me when you can and I’ll be fine


VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time


{CHORUS x2}


Sometimes if we don’t go sometimes you don’t know
You don’t go I don’t go I don’t go you don’t go

C#5  B5  A5                      C#5  A5  B5

C#5  E5  A5                    C#5  A5  B5

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 have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A

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

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

Son, I missed my chance

Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Its the one that's just begun

Situation Number two

Its the only chance for you
     E                         F#   E
It's controlled by denizens of hate

Situation Number three

It's the one that no one sees

All too often dismissed as fate
B
Situation Number four

The one that left you wanting more
E                       F#   E
Tantalized you with its bait
