Thrice est un groupe de post-hardcore et punkcore mélodique formé à Irvine (Californie) en 1997. Les membres du groupe se sont rencontrés alors qu'ils fréquentaient l'école.

De 1998 à 2003 ils sortent les albums &quot;First Impressions&quot;, &quot;Identity Crisis&quot;, &quot;Illusion of Safety&quot; et enfin &quot;The Artist in the Ambulance&quot;.

Em                          C
I've waited for this moment all my life and more,
Em                               C
And now i see so clearly what I could not see before.
Em                                 C
The time is now or never and this chance won't come again,
Em                                 C    D
Throw caution and myself into the wind.

                       Em                            C
There's no promise of safety with these second hand wings
                  Am                        C    (D)
But im willing to find out what impossible means.
           Em
A leap of faith.

Em                  C
Parody of an angel miles above the sea.
Em                           C             D
I hear the voice of reason screaming up to me.
Em                                         C
"You've flown far too high boy now you're too close to the sun,
Em                                   C     
Soon your makeshift wings will come undone".
D            Em      C               D    Em     C    D
But how will I know limits from lies if i never try?


(chorus)
                       Em                            C
There's no promise of safety with these second hand wings
                  Am                        C    (D)
But im willing to find out what impossible means.
              Em                      C
Climb to the heavens on feathers and dreams
            Am                                   C
'Cause the melting point of wax means nothing to me.
C
Nothing to me.
C
Nothing to me.


C                              Em      C
I will touch the sun or I will die trying.
Am      C
Die Trying.

(chorus)
Fly on these second hand wings,
Willing to find out what impossible means.
Climb to the heavens on feathers and dreams
'Cause the melting point of wax means nothing to me.
Nothing to me.

C
Means nothing to me,
C
Miles above the sea.

Melting Point Of Wax

Em                                      C
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
                                    G
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
                              D
My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
      Em               C
And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
      G                               D                       Em   
They flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and I am gone

[Bridge:]
C -> G -> D

       Em                          C
Now I lay here owing my life to a stranger
                    G
And I realize that empty words are not enough
      D
I'm left here with the question of just
Em                              C
What have I to show except the promises I never kept?
  G                              D
I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets


   C                              Em   D
I hope that I will never let you down
   C                                    Em        D         C
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound


Em -> C -> G -> D


Em (just one strike)                         C
Look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
G (just one strike)                         D
It gets me down but I'm still gonna try to do what's right, I know that 
           Em                                      C
there's A difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have
G                                      D
There's a line drawn in the sand, I'm working up the will to cross it and


   C                              Em   D
I hope that I will never let you down
   C                                    Em        D         C
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound

Em 
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
                    C
I'm sick of always talking when there's no change
Em
Rhetoric can't raise the dead
                   D               C         D
I'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow


Em                                      C
Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
                                    G
Red light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
                              D
My world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the
Em                                    C
Greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
         G                             D
They've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance

   C                              Em   D
I hope that I will never let you down
   C                                    Em        D         C
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound
        Em      D        C                 Em       D          C
Can we pick you off the ground, more than flashing lights and sound

The Artist In The Ambulance

Dm   F         C              G       Am
When deadbolts awake you from deja vu dreams
Dm  F          C           G               Am
at four in the morning you know where I'll be.
Dm          F          E             Am
out running red lights asleep at the wheel.
F          E       
the sirens feed my nightmares,


Am              C            G       F
i just close my eyes and I'm already there;
       E 
its already too late.
Am                     C
i know its nothing but lies,
          G          F
but they sound so sincere;
            E
i find them too hard to hate.

        Am                              C
and she calls from the doorway "stolen water is so sweet,
        F                             G
so lets drink in the darkness if you know what i mean"
        Am                              C
and she calls from the doorway "stolen water is so sweet,
        F                             E7
so lets drink in the darkness if you know what i mean"

F
and I'm almost sure
F
that I've been here before,
              Am           Am/G                F             G
that this is not the first time I've stood in front of this door,
        Am           Am/G           F         E
with an overwhelming feeling that i shouldn't go in,
E                                    E7
but it seems this is a battle that i never could win.

     Am      C
And you
       F    E
My true love
                  Am      C
You call from the hilltop
                     F       E
You call through the streets
                      Am
"Darling don't you know,
           C     F          E
The water is poison"
      Am
And I say
       C                F          E
"Come on and give me my poison"

Black Honey

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

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.

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.
