(Verse)
Bm
Ever since the first time I opened my eyes
D
I've awakened to the same thing
F#m                                        Bm
Other automaton friends roughly built like me


Bm
The first time I opened my mouth to speak
D
Steam escaped to the air
F#m                                             Bm
And black oil dripped from my lips and onto the ground

     Bm
Well daylight struck a chord with my photo-receptors
D
Night greeted me with a sea of stars
    F#m                                           Bm
Our eyes all flashed blues and greens through the night

(Verse)
Bm
People are soaring, always exploring,
D
Higher than they've ever been before
    F#m
But we are still down here, feet on the ground near
A
What will rise us up with the rest

    Bm
Our thoughts are quixotic, stark and robotic,
  D
mechanical in nature all the time
    F#m
And pulses are firing in our head wiring,
A
guiding all our actions and beings


(Chorus)

A               Bm
I am not an unimaginable thing
D                                      F#m
My thoughts are tangible though they're full of springs
  A                                Bm
I don't have the heart to send you untruthful words
D                                F#m
My skin is cold to the touch and made from the earth

Bm             D                  F#m
Oh, oh it's so down, but baby its sound
                     A
makes your worries cease to pound
    Bm                 D                   F#m
And oh, maybe it's alright, 'cause baby it fights
                      A
For some time just to be held tight

    Bm                   D                             F#m
And oh, maybe it's not wrong, 'cause it sings a lovely song
                A
One that drifts on for so long
    Bm                  D                  F#m
And oh, baby let's not lie, it's eyes are alive
                       A
And pointed up shining light to the sky

(Verse)
Am                       F
Is there such a thing as too much of a good thing?
  G
I ask myself that everyday
Am                                      F
That is until the weekend comes and the sun has gone away to sleep
G
Then there's only one thing on my mind (a good time)

(Chorus)
N/C
That's right
Am                  F                G
Me and my baby love Saturday nights, Saturday nights
(Saturday)
Am                        F                G
Yeah, Me and my baby love Saturday nights, Saturday nights
(Saturday)

(Verse)
         Am              F
With The dancing and the singing, 
         G
Like the weekdays never happened
  Am          F         G
I could be, I should be dancing right now 'cause


(Chorus)

(Verse)
Am                      F  
The talk of the town is where we're headed next
G
Cause everywhere we go is the best
(The very, very best)
Am                            F
It doesn't matter the company but we're pretty good company
G
For you to have around
(Around, Around, Around)

(Chorus)

(Verse)
         Am              F
With The dancing and the singing, 
         G
Like the weekdays never happened
  Am          F         G
I could be, I should be dancing right now 'cause

(Chorus)


Here we go...my baby & I, My baby and I-hai...My baby!
We're goin' Dancin' tonight!

(Verse)
Am                             F
The dull-drum of the work week gets me feeling down
G
Misery and sorrow follow us around
Am                               F
But when that music hits and the band starts to play
G
Please, you better get out of our way

(Chorus 2X)

Me And My Baby ( Saturday Night)

Intro: D
D 
Well lets get packin'. Get back on track in
    G             A
The lovely morning sun
D 
We've got a song in our heart and a dream in our heads
G                        A           D
Hearts in our heads, and dreams of a song 
D                     A              G          A          D
We'll Sing it all day long. C'mon now board that train with me

D                           G
I've got a one-way ticket to destiny
D                    A
A one-way road to my future.
     Bm      A           D       G
And a two-way love with a special girl 
              G
she's gonna be right back
G               D
right back in my arms

D
That road is long, You can't Go wrong,
     G              A
With blue skies up above
D
We've got the sun in our face and the wind in our wheels
G                     A            D
Smile for the day and Sail to the stars
D               A              G           A
Make a wish and see. C'mon now board that train with me

D                            G
I've got a one-way ticket to destiny
D                    A
A one-way road to my future
      Bm      A                D       G
And an intersection that will seal my fate
           G
As a man so happy 
G            D
Happy to be free

D
As we roll along with This train ride song
   G                           A
You know we'll meet lots of friends
D
Like the cowboy who's a samurai
G                        A          D
Boy, what a combo, Holy cow what a guy
D                        A
The conductor plays the bass
         G              A
And the train it has a face

Bm                        D
Stormy days are around the bend.
Gb                    G
No wrenches, water, or outlets
Bm                          D
Roll across a sea of burning oil
Gb                                          G
As mechanical sea serpents swarm around the train

Bm                              D
Under a cloud that won't stop crying
Gb                                   G
Raining down on a mountain what spits fire
Bm                                 D
The sky and ground used to love so well

     Bm          A
So we play them a song,
      Bm          A
And we right their wrongs,
   G              D
And everybody gets along

D                              G
We've got a one-way ticket to destiny
D                     A
A one-way road to our future
      Bm      A            D       G
And a two-way love that we know so well
Bm                    A
'Cause that is all you need to live

D                    G
A One-way ticket to destiny
D                     A
A One-way road to our future
      Bm      A            D       G

'Cause that is all we need to live

A One-way ticket to destiny
D                     A
A One-way road to our future
      Bm       A           D       G
And a two-way love that we know so well

'Cause that is all you need to live
 Bm            A

I only saw her once

But that was all I needed

On Top Of The Universe

E  
When he was a boy
              G#7
he wanted to play
C#m           A
down by the sea

            E
At age thirteen
                G#7
everyday after school
C#m              A                
he would always sail around the lake

E
All the people would stand and stare
        G#7
as he sailed around with precision and care
         E
With his bi-corner hat and the way he would stand
    G#7
he looked just like a Navy man
C#m                                   A
All the townsfolk would gather and say, and sing away

E                 A
Captain Albert Alexander
            B                 A
He'll be a brave seafarer someday
          E              A
But that Captain Albert Alexander
B                    A
He'll go down in the waves

              E  
By age twenty four
              G#7
he had left the shore
C#m           A
and was sailing for the Queen

              E  
On a dark starry night
              G#7
Albert awoke to the sound
C#m           A
of his Captain screaming as he was drowned

E
The Navy crew was taking a lick
        G#7
pirates had invaded the ship
         E
But Albert with one aimed harpoon
    G#7
ignited their rum with a spark and soon
C#m                                   A
flames drove the pirates away ... the Navy sang

E                 A
Captain Albert Alexander
            B                 A
Saved his crew from pirate slaughter
          E              A
But that Captain Albert Alexander
B                    A
He'll go down in the water

            E
Now everyone dance
G#7     C#m      A
Dance. Dance. Daaaaaaaaaance

                        E  
Twenty some odd years later
                  G#7
On his ship The Sea Slater
    C#m                    A
He sailed into a mass of blubber

                   E  
Gazing up to the sky
                 G#7
stood a large walrus
           C#m              A                  E
that was a hundred stories high, it meant no harm

                                     G#7
The walrus was in a great deal of pain
                                     E
It suffered from a tusk with tooth decay
                                       G#7
Albert threw his anchor 'round it's tusk
                                            C#m 
with a little bit of pulling it was out by dusk
                               A
The walrus thanked Albert and sang, as he sailed away

E                 A
Captain Albert Alexander
            B                 A
Friend to sea urchin and me
          E              A
But that Captain Albert Alexander
B                    A
He'll go down in the sea

      G#7                    C#m
At a ripe old age lightning struck from the sky
     G#7                     C#m
and split Albert's vessel in two
     G#7            C#m          
One hundred men fled for their lives
     G#7                  C#m
on rafts across the ocean blue

C#m                   A           
Albert stood at the stern of his ship
   C#m               A
A giant octopus had him in it's grip
   C#m                  A
A vortex of spiraling death below ripped
   C#m                         A
and sharks and electric eels all made the trip 
       C#m
to see Albert
E                         A 
sink to the bottom of the sea

C#m                  A
Just before he went down
C#m                  A
he called out to his crew
C#m                   A
It's obvious that my time has come
      C#m              A
I'll let this ending ensue
      C#m                       A 
I've led an exciting nautical life it would seem
            C#m                   A
and there's no better end than a death by the sea ... His crew sang

E                 A
Captain Albert Alexander
            B                 A
He went down in the sea
          E              A
But that Captain Albert Alexander
B                    A
He'll go down in history

E                       A
That Captain Albert Alexander
         B           E A B  E   B   E
He went down in the seeeee-ee--hee-hea!

A#
You came home last night and seemed far away

      Gm
I could not believe

         C
that you were alright with everything

         A#
Night is the key that unravels everything

          Gm
When it all comes down

           C
And people tend to erupt without a sound

I know you don't like how I feed but please try to remember it's natural for a thing like me

I snuck outside once you fell asleep

         Gm
and I walked down the road

      C
to give my electronics an overload

    A#
It's easy to be angry at something

      Gm
that you don't understand

       C
And people tend to be stubborn with where they stand

A#, Gm, C, A#

Ghost Grinder

G                                            
I'm sittin' there by the girl with the golden hair

Em
Ruby lips, poppin' gum an electric stare

Am                          D
Dashboard lights glowing red and the moonlight catching on her pretty head

G
Black leather, lace, belt buckle grease

Em
In my white cadillaic, may it rust in peace

Am                        D
On a hill all dying alone, while the radio plays a crackling song

CHORUS

G             Em
I'll rust with you

Am            D
I'll rust with every one of you

G        Em
Nostalgic nights

Am         G
Have got me feelin' it's all

Em                  Am
Gone (gone, gone) to rust

         Em                  D              Am
It's all gone, (gone, gone) to rust



G
Swing skirt, fishnets and a broken dream

Em
Blue petrol flame makes the Jukebox scream

Am                                  D
The cool cats all there are crying, 'cause the records are all burnt and dying

G
Leopard high tops lift into the sky

Em
Fingerless gloved hands pulling me to fly

Am                            D
In the winter cold she kisses, and vanishes despite my wishes

CHORUS

G             Em
I'll rust with you

Am            D
I'll rust with every one of you

G        Em
Nostalgic nights

Am         G
Have got me feelin' it's all

Em                  Am
Gone (gone, gone) to rust

         Em                  D              Am
It's all gone, (gone, gone) to rust


BRIDGE:
Em         G
Baby don't keep me waiting
           C
On this memory

Em                       G
The years and tears have gone and turned you
             C
into ash you see
         
         Em
It's all gone
   D
To rust


G
The malt shop's a derelict skelly'ton

Em
The disco's dead and the hop is done

Am                           D
the raves are flickering out, and your future flings follow en route

G
Let's drive this cadillac into the sea

Em
It's got transmission in my memory

Am                       D
Reminiscing in retrograde will fuel our pointless escapade

CHORUS

G             Em
I'll rust with you

Am            D
I'll rust with every one of you

G        Em
Nostalgic nights

Have got me feelin' it's all

Gone (gone, gone) to rust

It's all gone, (gone, gone) to rust (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)

D           G      Em             D
    It's all gone         (it's all gone) 

        G           Em            C
Gone to ru -  uh  -  uh  -  uh  -  ust  

        G           Em            C
Gone to ru -  uh  -  uh  -  uh  -  ust

2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.

           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling 
 	       G                     D          D7    G
        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G

            F                    C                G

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
