Em
See I've been here for 28 years.
            Bm
Pounding sweat beneath these wheels.

We tattooed lines beneath our skin.
             G                      D (play chord let ring)
No surrender, my Bobby Jean.

No surrender, my Bobby Jean.

               Em
We've been burned by all our fears.
               Bm
Just from growing up around here.
               C
Our father's factories marked our cars.
               G                                D
While Eden burned against the stars.

And Sally said, Sally said.
             Em
I can't take no more regret.

It cut us deep, into our souls.
                  G                     D
Came and climbed into our bed.
                 G
And Sally said, Sally said.
              Em
Meet me by the River's edge.

We're going to wash these sins away.

You know I had these ballroom dreams.
             Bm
That, as a child, came to me.
            C
I was a boy in Grandma's arms.

                     G                      D
A mother's pride and a wounded heart.
                      Em
And I was full with fiery wonder.
                    Bm
You wore Audrey Hepburn pearls.
                    C                       
You were the only one who understood me then

Bridge:

          Em         D         C         G
And now I drive the 101 on the California night.
         Em              D         C              G
            
And I'm amazed at all the stars beneath that old Hollywood sign.
          Em            D              C         G   
       
And we waltz, ballet up a boulevard to a place we never kept
          Em            D             C          G
         
And I'm not sure if we belong here, if I ever really left, or If I can go

Did you hear your favorite song one last time?

And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?

And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang

Verse 1 -

C
Mary, this station is playing every sad song
Am
I remember like we were alive
C
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
Am
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights
C
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
Am
Licking young boys blood from her claws
C
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
Am
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb



Prechorus-

F                      G

Am        F                C                 G
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
      Am          F               C              G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Am        F          C    G            C
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?



Verse 2 -
        C
Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life
       Am
Better safe than making the party
      C
And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside,
     Am
With papers and poetry about Estella



Prechorus 2-
F                    G                   F             G

Am        F                C                 G
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you

I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life

She never understood that it ain't no good.
                 E
Papa never heard the cool.
                    F#m     D          A        E
So now I got out my map and found me a storm.
                    F#m                         D
With a flick of the wrist and the turn of the key.
                       A             E
You'll just fall in my arms.

Don't wait too long to come home.
            F#m                       D
My have the years of our youth passed on.
                 A            E
Don't wait too long to come home.
      F#m                  D
I'll leave the front light on.
                  A   E             A
The night is our own, Don't wait too long.

Miles Davis And The Cool

Am           G            F          C
I haven't seen Sandy, Angry Johnny, or Mary
  Am             G                   F               C
I heard they got married, might have had a couple of babies
     Am           G            F            C
They traded their memories for Fairview and Acres,
     Am              G          F                C        
they never played no pinball or get out past the breakers



    Am  C         G      Am
But not me pretty ba-a-a-by,
   Am             C               G               Am
We still love Tom Petty songs and driving old men crazy
    Am  C            G       Am       
And not while Little Eden is waiting
   Am             C             G              Am  
So you sing me a slow song, and I'll drive you crazy

Am    G                     F             C
But all I want is for you to be all right and satisfied
Am           G                  F           C 
Brothers and sisters, know that any time or late at night
       Am          G           F                C
If you call I will answer, I'm open ears though tired eyes
          Am                G          F          C
While the world closed it's arms on us now



      Am         C               G      Am 
Can I get a hung witness, pretty ba-a-a-by?

So you sing me a slow song, and I'll drive you crazy


  Tonight, alright, alright,   Alright, alright
    F   F      C     G         F   F      C       G

etc, etc

     G           F            C
...tonight and I say it's all right,
          Am             G             F            Am
Tell your papa you'll be home when the good feeling dies



    Am  C         G      Am
But not me pretty ba-a-a-by,
   Am             C               G               Am
We still love Tom Petty songs and driving old men crazy

Even Cowgirls Get The Blues

intro
Dm       Bb   2x

Dm
I'm all washed out by the side of the road.
Bb
Broken bones Matilda left a note and a rose.
        Dm                                           Bb                       F
Saying "Baby honey child, I love you so long but you deserve much better than me"

Dm
So I'm just burning all around.
All the miles on the road.
Bb
And I'm never going back.
And I'm never going home.
Dm
I've been gone too long.
I've been less right than wrong.
Bb                             F       Bb   C
I've lost so much blood in the falling out

F
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
         Bb
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house.
            F
Until all I remember was burning away.
          Bb                     C        Dm
And all I remember, you burnt it away.

Dm
See for 10 long years I've been hustling around.
Bb
Tryin' to wash the sins and sweat from my brow.
Dm
Just trying to find a better life for me and my own.
Bb                                      F    
Just some rest for these tired working fingers.

Dm
But nobody's ever going to tear you away.
          Bb
You gotta figure it out boys.
                               Dm
It's all for the rain, and the fools in the night, and the heat in the day.
                  Bb                F           Bb   C
When all you ever really wanted was someone to understand.

F
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
         Bb
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house.
            F
Until all I remember was burning away.
          Bb                     C
And all I remember, you burnt it away.
                          F
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry.
                Bb
Cross your hard heart and hope to die.
                     F
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time.
                     Bb                        C
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night.

                   Dm                    F
And your sugar and spice, and everything nice.
                Bb                        F
You got Monroe hips, your poison lips and knives.
                   Dm                    F
And your sugar and spice, and everything nice.
     Bb                       F   (Bb  C    2nd time)
Open wounds and a young boy's pride.
[2x]

F
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
         Bb
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house.
            F
Until all I remember was burning away.
              Bb                 C
And all I had left, you burnt it away.
                          F
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry.
                Bb
Cross your hard heart and hope to die.
                     F
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time.
                     Bb                        C
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night.

Film Noir

The '59 Sound

verse:
C
In my head
A
I am already gone
F
Side roads pointed up
C         G
Decisions decided on
C
But in my nights
A
There are restless hours
F
3 AM goes down
C         G
Nothing else comes up

chorus:
A
And the only thing we know
F
Is it's getting dark and we better go
C
And the only thing we say
G
Are the despairs of the day

A
And if you're too tired
F
Go to sleep, my brothers, I
C
And if you're too tired
G
Go to sleep, my brothers
I'm alright to drive

same again. cheers

Hey wake it up! Hey shake it out!
     F                                    G
Does anything still move you since you're educated now?
              C                  G
And all grown up and traveled so well
             F                                       G
Do you still hear the sound of the thunder while you lie up by yourself?

         Am            G                  F               C
Like you waited on his call and made your plans for great escapes
          Am           G               F                    C
And there used to be a movement in the way your dress would wave
          G
From your hips on down like electric through the ground

       Am  G   F   C
Hey-ey ey  ey  ey
       Am  G   F   C
Hey-ey ey  ey  ey

                   C               G
Now do you blow it out come Friday night?
           F                             G
See if you wanna, you can find me on the hood under the moonlight
    C                    G           
Radio [oh radio], oh radio [oh radio],
         F
do you believe there's still some magic left
    G
Somewhere inside our souls?

       Am             G                F                 C
Like I waited on your call and made my plans to share my name
      Am               G               F                    C
And I love the country movement in the way your dress would wave
          G
From your hips on down like electric through the ground

       Am  G   F   C
Hey-ey ey  ey  ey
[Sound of the cars rushing the rain on the boulevard]
       Am  G   F   C
Hey-ey ey  ey  ey
[In this city by the sea that has always haunted me]
       Am  G   F   C
Hey-ey ey  ey  ey
[And belonged to me somehow. Bless your waters and your doubts]
       Am  G   F   C
Hey-ey ey  ey  ey

C          Am            G             F             C

C                 G                         Am
   And we waited for the sirens that never come

   And we only write by the moon

   Every word handwritten (starting here, simply repeat C/G/Am/F )
   Every word handwritten

   And with this pen, I thee wed
   From my heart to your distress

Am7      G
Sympathy, 
F                C
this is my best disguise.
   Am7                      G
My skin stepped out for my bones to dry up,
         F                   C        Am7   G
for the rest of the world outside...to see.
       F                C
You see I bleed on the side
        Am7                 G
It's a part time thing, a private affair
   F                         C
I try to keep it out of the light.
         Am7                C            F
I must confess, I didn't recognize you tonight
Am7                C     F
Dressed up like my love.

       Am7                       G
And I hate these things but I always attend,
   F                          C
a little sip of something to take off the edge.
      Am7                     G 
And I make my way through the ghosts in the room,
  F               C
trying to crack a smile.

    Am7                 G
And who you supposed to be?
F                     C
You look like heaven tonight
   Am7                 G
And me I'm a tomb, a corpse in a suit,
 F                        C
trying to look a little alive.

         Am7
Are you alright?

   C           F
I worry sometimes,
          Am7                 C     F
are you dressed up to take my life?
         Am7    C
Keep it coming, 
         F     
keep it coming,
         Am7   C
Keep it coming,
            F
Keep it coming.

      C
And I think I saw you for the flash of a moment,
      F
Your broken heart and the body that holds it
  C
I lost your scent in the flash of the party.
    F
The big bright lights, baby, constantly haunt me.
      C
I've never been right, have you ever been lied to?
   F
I think I just saw the same scars upon you.
     C                      F
But is this a disguise? A masquerade for me?
         Am7    F   
Keep it coming, 
          C     G
Keep it coming,
           Am7   F
Keep it coming,
          C     G
Keep it coming,

    Am7                 F
And who you supposed to be?
         C                 G
Hey you look just like my love.
    Am7                 F
And who you supposed to be?
         C                   G
Are you dressed just like my love?
     Am7               F
And who you supposed to be?
          C               G
Hey you look just like my love.
    Am7                 F
And who you supposed to be?
          C                   G         C
Are you dressed just like my love for Halloween?

G                           Em
You can tell Gayle, if she calls,
           C                          D 
that I'm famous now for all of these rock and roll songs.
G                    Em  C                         D
And even if that's a lie, she should've given me a try.
              Em            D           C             G
When we were kids on the field of the first day of school.
Em          D         C
I would've been her fool.
     Em                    D                 C              G
And I would've sang out your name in those old high school halls.
G                D               G
You tell that to Gayle, if she calls.

G                           Em
And you can tell Jane, if she writes, 
           C                                       D 
that I'm drunk off all these stars and all these crazy Hollywood nights.
G               Em   C                        D
That's total deceit, but she should've married me.
              Em           D           C             G
And tell her I spent every night of my youth on the floor, 
    Em         D             C
bleeding out from all these wounds.
     Em                   D                 C              G
I would've gotten her a ride out of that town she despised.
G                D               G
You tell that to Janey, if she writes.

      Em         C         G                D
But boys will be boys and girls have those eyes
         Em       C               G     D   
that will cut you to ribbons sometimes.
     Em        C            G           D
And all you can do is just wait by the moon
     Em                     C               G   D 
and bleed if it's what she says you oughta do.

Em   C  G  D
Em   C  G  D
Em   D  C  G
G    D  G

G                           Em
You remind Anna, if she asks why,
       C                                   D 
that a thief stole my heart while she was making up her mind.
   G                                    Em
I heard she lives in Brooklyn with the cool,
   C                                   D 
goes crazy over that New York scene on 7th Avenue.
              Em           D           C             G
But I used to wait at the diner, a million nights without her,
     Em         D             C
praying she won't cancel again tonight.
           Em           D           C             G
And the waiter served my coffee with a consolation sigh.
G          D                  G
You remind Anna, if she asks why.

G  Em C  D 
               Tell her it's alright
G  Em C  D 
               You know it's hard to tell you this.
Em  D  C  G  Em  D  C  G
                       Oh it's hard to tell you this.

Em  D  C  G   G          D               G
                Here's looking at you, Kid.

Queen Of Lower Chelsea

American Slang

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

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty

American Dream 

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.

to remind yourself that you forgot

Overreacting

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.
