Bm7            Em7            Em                Em6              F#7
Wake up, say a little prayer, out of bed to the bathroom where I take a look at myself
      Bm7                   Em7                F#7 
And I stop and stare, and I wonder who is this standing here

[Pre-chorus 1:]
      Bm              G             Em  
And I try to find the will to carry on
       Bm                G         Em     
Wonder how much longer I can carry on
            A         F#7     Bm             A       A7
Cause these days they take so long, yes they do

Bm                                            Em
All your days spend countin' numbers 'til one day you'll find,
     F#7                 Bm 
That life has passed you by
Bm                                       Em
And in the quiet still of silence try to hide your eyes
F#7              Bm      A       A7 
Oh no, no, don't cry, oh no

[Chorus 2:]

Bm             G                 Em             F#7

Bm                         G                 Em          F#7
Still all these words I've spoken don't mean anything at all
        Bm7           Em6            Em       Em6         
Without love, without love, without love

D7          G               F#7             Bm     A       A7

Bm7                        G                 F#
I remember clearly we were both there on the airplane
Bm7                            G            F#
Told me all your secrets, oh I never saw it coming
Bm7                                      G              F#
I thought that you were joking, you were actually quite serious

Em                           B
Oh my precious ember burning my sweet glowing light
C                               B
From the moment I first saw you I was yours and you were mine
Em                              B
Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design
C                                 B
And the echo of my mother's words baby don't you play with fire

[Pre-Chorus]

Em    D                   
I was always playing that part
Em         D
first love always at that spot
Em        D                  B
There was no way changing my mind

[Chorus]
           Em                  C   
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
               D                       B
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
           Em                C              
No turning back, no where to run
            D          B 
No where to hide, it's too late to say goodbye
Em                  C                  D              B
Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start
          Em          C            D
But oh my God is this real no more time 
     B              
it's too late, it's too late to say goodbye

[Verse]

Em                              B
I can hear the sounds of sirens circling around
C                                  B
Forced to watch the ashes floating softly drifting to the ground
Em                              B
Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design
C                                 B
And the echo of my mother's words baby don't you play with fire

Just the two of us forever no one else around

Cold Cold Cold

Em
Sweetie Little Jean where did you go?
                                   C
Everyone's been searching high and low
                          Am
And your mother's worried sick
                       C
Dearest daddy lost his grip
 C
While the whole world's watching
Am                       C
Candlelight vigils being held in silence
Am               Em
On the channel four
                             Em
And they've knocked on every door
                          C
Every place you've been before

[Pre-Chorus]
C        Am             Em
How long will we let it go?
C       Am                 Em
I think we should just let go

[Chorus]
C              Am
I, I want you back
           Em
Let's get back
G                              C
Lay my weary head against your bones
      Am                                Em
Where all my troubles will be dead and gone

[Post-Chorus]
C        Am             Em
How long will we let it go?
C       Am                 Em
I think we should just let go

[Verse 2]
                             Em
Has melancholy taken you for good?
                                    C
You know that I would save you if I could
                              Am
Watched your laughter turn to tears
                          C
Then you vanished in thin air
                            Am              C
Well we pinned your missing persons picture up
         Am              Em
On every mother-loving post
                      Em
How's it feel to be a ghost?
                          C
You're the one I love the most

[Chorus]
C              Am
I, I want you back
           Em
Let's get back
G                              C
Lay my weary head against your breast
      Am                           Em
Where all my troubles will laid to rest

[Bridge]
  C                          Am
I pushed and I pulled 'til I pushed you aside
    C                        Am
Now all that is left are the tears that you cried
    C                         Am
I'm sorry love for all of the damage done
  Em              G
I only hope that someday to be back beside you

[Chorus]
C              Am
I, I want you back
           Em
Let's get back
G                              C
Lay my weary head against your bones
      Am                                Em
Where all my troubles will be dead and gone

[Post-Chorus]
C        Am             Em
How long will we let it go?
C       Am                 Em
I think we should just let go

[Intro]

Bm7 Em7 Em Em6 F#7


[Verse 1]

Bm7            Em7            Em                Em6              F#7
Wake up, say a little prayer, out of bed to the bathroom where I take a look at myself
      Bm7                   Em7                F#7
And I stop and stare, and I wonder who is this standing here


[Pre-chorus 1]

      Bm              G             Em  
And I try to find the will to carry on
       Bm                G         Em     
Wonder how much longer I can carry on
            A         F#7     Bm             A       A7
Cause these days they take so long, yes they do


[Chorus 1]

D7       G                 F#                   Bm           A       A7
Hey, how are you true? The light will guide you home, yes it will
D7       G                  F#                                Bm            A       A7
Hey, how are you true? Well there's one thing that you should know, yes you should
         Bm7            Em6            Em       Em6
You need love, you need love, you need love
         Bm7         Em6         Em       Em6      
You need lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love


[Verse 2]

Bm                                            Em
All your days spend countin' numbers 'til one day you'll find,
     F#7                 Bm 
That life has passed you by
Bm                                       Em
And in the quiet still of silence try to hide your eyes
F#7              Bm      A       A7 
Oh no, no, don't cry, oh no


[Chorus 2]

D7       G                 F#                   Bm           A       A7
Hey, how are you true? The light will guide you home, yes it will
D7                         G                              F#                            Bm
Oh the years, they turn so fast, soon the present will be past and you'll look back and laugh
        A
Yes you will


[Verse 3]

Bm               G               Em              F#7
Well I can still remember, yes I was a young man too
Bm             G                 Em             F#7   
Alone, but not forgotten and the candle shining through
Bm                         G                 Em          F#7
Still all these words I've spoken don't mean anything at all
        Bm7           Em6            Em       Em6         
Without love, without love, without love
        Bm7         Em6         Em       Em6 
Without lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love


[Chorus 3]

D7          G               F#7             Bm     A       A7
Do do do do do, do do do do do, do do do do do, oh yeah
D7          G               F#7             Bm     A       A7
Do do do do do, do do do do do, do do do do do, oh yeah


[Outro]

Bm7                        G                 F#
I remember clearly we were both there on the airplane
Bm7                            G            F#
Told me all your secrets, oh I never saw it coming
Bm7                                      G              F#
I thought that you were joking, you were actually quite serious

Tell Me I'm Pretty

This is the song as interperedted to me by a friend, so the chorus is sort of adapted.  For the into, you have to alternate between Gmaj7 and G twice, then slide the G up an octave, so that the base of the "triangle" is on the 10th fret. G/ will symbolize the G slide in the tab. The chorus is very similar, but instead of the Gmaj7 to G switch, you only have to play the G slide.  If this explaination doesn't make sense, listen to a reccording of the song, and it'll become clear in no time. (Oh and sorry if it's inaccurate, this is my first tab)

Intro:
Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 G/ Bb C F x3 
Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 (pause) Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 x2

Verse 1: 
     G
I was walking down the street,
             Bb
When out the corner of my eye
        C                                 Bb F
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
               G
She said "I've never seen a man
    Bb
Who looks so all alone,
          C                   Bb F 
Could you use a little company?
       G
If you pay the right price
     Bb
Your evening will be nice,
            C                       Bb F
And you can go and send me on my way."
               G
I said "You're such a sweet young thing
        Bb  
Why you do this to yourself?"
    C                 Bb              F
She looked at me and this is what she said,

Chorus:
           G////////G            Bb C F
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
G///////////G       Bb C F
Money don't grow on trees.
      G////////G
I got bills to pay,
      Bb        C F
I got mouths to feed,
            G///////////////G         Bb C F
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
         G//////////G
I know I can't slow down,
  Bb      C      F
I can't hold back,
           G///////G      Bb C F
Though you know, I wish I could.
         G////////G            Bb C F
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
         G/////////G        Bb F C
Until we close our eyes for good".

Verse 2:
         G
Not even fifteen minutes later
          Bb
I'm still walking down the street,
             F                            Bb F
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
        G
Then he walks up from behind
           Bb
And puts a gun up to my head,
           C                             Bb F
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight.
         G
He said "Give me all you've got
            Bb
I want your money not your life,
           C                                Bb F
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."
        G
I said "You can have my cash
              Bb
But first you know I got to ask
              C                         Bb F
What made you want to live this kind of life?"
 
Chorus (he instead of she)
      G
Now a couple hours passed
          Bb
And I was sitting at my house,
            C                             Bb F
The day was winding down and coming to an end.
     G
So I turned on the TV
               Bb
And flipped it over to the news,
           C                     Bb F
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.
        G                                Bb
I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church,
              C                                  Bb F
He's got this bank account with righteous dollar bills.
         G
But even still I can't say much
          Bb
Because I know we're all the same,
             C                        Bb F
Oh yes we've all got to satisfy those thrills.

Chorus (but this time through, replace all of the "I"s with "We")
Also, on this last go through of the chorus, finish it off by letting a G ring.

Intro: 
Tonight I?ll have a look
And try to find my face again
Buried beneath this house
My spirit screams and dies again
Out back a monster wears a cloak of Persian leather
Behind the TV screen
I've fallen to my knees

F#                 B         C#
chained down, like a sitting duck
                 G#
Just waiting for the fall
F#                 B           C#           G#

Back Against The Wall

Intro F#
      (F# A B)


F#                             A
They say that we ain't got the style,
F#               B
We ain't got the class,
F#               A                    B
We ain't got the tunes that's goin to put us on the map
F#                 A
And I'm a phony in disguise,
F#                B
Tryin to make the radio,
F#                 A          B
I'm an anti-social anarchist, I sound like so and so,
F#                        A
They say I'm just a stupid kid,
F#            B
Another crazy radical,
F#               A               B
Rock and roll is dead I probably should've stayed in school,
F#                A
Another generation X 
F#                                 B
who somehow slipped up through the cracks,
F#                A               B
Oh they'd love to see me fall but I'm already on my back

(Chorus)
 (F# A B)

F#          A      B
And it goes In One Ear,
F#         A      B
And right out the other,
F#              A                        B
People talkin' shit but you know I never bother,
F#     A      B
I goes In One Ear,
F#         A      B
And right out the other,
F               A                                B
People talkin' shit, They can kiss the back of my hand


(Verse)

Now I know I'm not a saint,
I been a sinner all my life,
I ain't tryin to hide me flaws,
I'd rather keep them in the light,
They wanna criticize, scrutinize,
Cast another stone,
Burn me at the stake and sit and watch it from their throne,
They say the devil is my pal,
I do a lotta drugs!
The crowd will only like me if they're really fuckin' drunk,
They think they know my thoughts,
But they don't know the least,
If they listened to the words they'd find the message tucked beneath
But it goes In One Ear,
And right out the other,
People talkin shit even though they never bother,

It goes In One Ear,
And right out the other,
People talkin' shit, they can kiss the back of my hand

(You hear that... you hear what's coming? Oh you better run for the hills, 
cos we're coming to your town, and we're gonna burn that mother fucker down!)

Here's the moral to the story,
We don't do it for the glory,
We don't do it for the money,
We don't do it for the fame
So all the critics who despise, go ahead and criticize,
It's your tyranny that drives us, adds the fire to our flames

Same as chorus (F# A B)

And it goes
In One Ear,
And right out the other,
People talkin' shit but you know we'll never bother,

It goes In One Ear,
And right out the other,
I'm only playing music cos you know I fuckin love it,

It goes In One Ear,
And right out the other,
People talkin' shit but you know we'll never bother,

It goes In One Ear, and right out the other,
People talkin shit well you know they can kiss the back of my hand.

In One Ear

Cage The Elephant

C                                 Em
Timber shakes these trails they all derail 
                         Am
Phony, false and frail
               G                       C
An empty ocean lost our way with no direction home 
                                      Em
Golden needles names we take in vein 
                     Am
Find it harder to remain 
                                  G  
And nothings sacred still waiting on that explanation 


(Chorus)
 C     
 Right before my eyes
             G 
I saw the whole world lose control 
        Am
The whole world lost control 
        F             G
Before my eyes uh-huh 
C
I fell through the floor 
             G
I couldn't take this anymore 
       Am
I can't take this anymore 
    F               G
It breaks my mind uh-huh 

Verse 2
C                        Em
Hold your dirty hand over the flames 
                         Am
Getting pleasure from the pain
                        G 
Softly screaming the pistol that you raise has spoken 
C                             Em
Golden needles names we take in vein 
               Am
Find it harder to remain 
                               G
Well nothings sacred still waiting on that explanation 

(Chorus) 

Bridge
F                                   Am
Everything I thought I knew fell to the side 
F                                   Am
Time went on and on I couldn't see past my on eyes
          G 
Past my eyes
         Am
Past my eyes
          G
Past my eyes

(Chorus)

Covered my tracks, thought I was fine

Got no self control now I'm back here in line

But I don't want to give it away
   A              Bb       F
We did it for the family name

Crashed, collide into space

A      Bb

I watched the strawberry fields
                   F
Dry up and wither away
                     Bb
And if you ask me to stay

You know that's where I will be

For all the evil schemes I pull
   A                 Bb       F
We sit and watch the waves break
  A            Bb        F
I've made a lot of mistakes

Crash, collide into space

Tell me who's to blame

Em            G        A
Oh I cannot explain what's going down
D                    Dmaj7
I can see you standing next to me
Em        G        A
In and out somewhere else right now

You sigh look away
G           A
I can see it clear as day

Close your eyes so afraid

Hide behind that baby face

Funny how it seems like yesterday

As I recall you were looking out of place
D                         Dmaj7
Gathered up your things and slipped away
    Em       G             A
No time at all I followed you into the hall
 
 
D        Dmaj7     Bm
Cigarette daydream
G           A
You were only seventeen
D          Dmaj7              Bm
Soft speak with a mean streak

Nearly brought me to my knees

Cigarette Daydreams

[Intro]

C  Am  Em  G 
C  Am  Em  G 


[Verse]

     C
In a far and distant galaxy
     Am
Inside my telescope I see
 Em
A pair of eyes look back at me
    G
He walks and talks and looks like me
C
Sits around inside his house
     Am
From room to room he moves about
Em
Fills his life with pointless things
   G                        C
and wonders how it all turns out.
Am
do do do do do
Em
do do do do do
G
Safe to say that


[Chorus]

C                        Em
I don't think you understand!
               Dm
There's nowhere left to turn
G
Walls keep breaking

C                          Em
Time is like a leaf in the wind
             Dm
Either it's time worth spent
   G
or time I've wasted.
Don't waste it.


[Instrumental]

C Am Em G


[Verse]

  C
Afraid of what the truth might bring
     Am
He locks his doors and never leaves
   Em
Desperately searching for signs
    G
to terrify, to find a thing
  C
He battens all the hatches down
    Am
and wonders why he hears no sound
 Em
Frantically searching his dreams
    G                    C
he wonders what it's all about
Am
do do do do do
Em
do do do do do
G
Safe to say that


[Chorus]

C                        Em
I don't think you understand!
               Dm
There's nowhere left to turn
G
Walls keep breaking

C                          Em
Time is like a leaf in the wind
             Dm
Either it's time worth spent
   G
or time I've wasted.


[Solo]

C Bm C F C
(Bm C D Em F)
(Em G F E G)


[Bridge/Verse]

C
Clearing my mind,
losing my friends
Em
Follow my fears
do it again.
        Dm
You say how, do, you do.

G
Man, how 'bout you?
Man, how 'bout you?
C
To be free
To be son
Em
To be killed
To be saved
Dm
In my head, I'm alone
G
I'm un-dead, I'm ashamed
C
Just like you, I've been tryin'
      Em
To be scared
                    Dm
In my bones, I feel cold.
                   G
I give this to the lord in the sea
        C
In this street
       Em
Let me go
                  Dm
Let me be, I don't need
To be here, I'm alone
          G
Can't you see? Can't you see?


[Chorus]

C                        Em
I don't think you understand!

Walls keep breaking

C                          Em
Time is like a leaf in the wind
             Dm
Either it's time worth spent

or time I've wasted.
Don't waste it.

I am the one you left for dead

You are the bullet in my head (ahh)

And as you stand over my grave

You'll pause the lips upon my face (ahh)

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,

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

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

American Dream 

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

[chorus]

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)


A                       E
when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
