[Verse 1]

Em
Eyes rolled back guess we were living fast
                  C  
Where did you go, yeah where did you go?
                 Am    Em
Your eyes go to show, that it was so rare to see you sober
                D                       C
And so the streetlights would carry us home

Em
And I spent my nights trying to get a grip of you
D                                             C
And I did my best to get my hands under your jacket
           D         Am
So we could make a racket
Em                      
But your divine ribs would help break mine
             C              Am        D
We hit the ground so let's hit the ground


[Chorus]

             Em * D * C * G *    C
(She said) nothing's alright, believe me
          D *   C *  G *        D *    C
I said I won't feel the same in the mornin'
            Em * D * C * G *          G
(She said) nothing's alright, we're leavin
       D *   C *     G *     D *     G
And I won't feel the same in the mornin'

[Verse]
  Am         F      C
I pissed you off again
So that you’d leave me
 Am       F      C
Alone in Leeds again

Cause I’ve got this friend see

Who put me up again

  Am       F     C

And in fear that things would change
  Am     F     C
I tidied up my place
Cause you always told me
   Am     F        C
It got me thinking straight

Homesick

Em            D
You're simpatico
      Bm                      A       
And of all the lift homes and all the mixed feelings
Em            D
You're cuts above
        Bm                     A
And you don't own worries or a chest full of heartache


Em      D
Yes, I know
       Bm                      A
That I'll never work out exactly how you're thinking
Em           D                       Bm            A
But let me know, when I'm needed home


        G          D         A
And I'd come
        Bm              A      G         D         A
You can leather me with your lips


Bm
I've gotta give it to you
G           A
You give me problems
Bm                        G       A
When you are not in the mood

Bm
I've gotta give it to you

You give me problems
Bm                     G       A

Our dealer hates me you know

He used to see her but she sold
Bm                      G         A
Him off on down the river

Bm            G     A


Em           D
It's impractical
      Bm                            A
To go out and catch a death with a dress fit for the summer
Em     D
So you don't
    Bm                        A
Instead you call me up with a head full of filth 


Em      D
Yes, I know
     Bm               A
I'll never acquiesce anything you're thinking
Em               D                   Bm              A
But let me know, when I'm needed home


        G          D         A
And I'd come
        Bm              A      G         D         A
You can leather me with your lips


Bm
I've gotta give it to you
G           A
You give me problems

When you are not in the mood

Bm
I've gotta give it to you

You give me problems

And made me give into you

       Em
I fell straight
          G
Into your arms
       C
Like a drunk
           G
Who’s been on it
    Em
All morning.
        G
And the sun’s up
       C                G

I love it when you do that

God, I love it when you do that.


I remember when we
Em         C           G       D

Fuck it if they try and get to us
                   C      G
Cause I’d rather go blind
             Em     D
Than let you down.



Em
I cocoon
            G
‘Round your shoulders
            C
When you’re half cut
           G
And you’re frozen
                           Em         G
And you’ve got that visible breathing
                    C        G
You’re depending on me again.

The Ride

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,

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

[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

because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song

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.
