From the sleepy sprawl of America's 'Mile-High City', Denver, Colorado, United States, comes The Fray, a foursome whose melodic pop-rock songs and soaring vocals resonate with sprawling tapestries and tales of hopefulness and heartache.  Formed in 2002 by Isaac Slade (vocals, piano) and Joe King (guitar, vocals), The Fray earned a loyal grassroots following through impressive area gigs and the support of local radio which led a listener-driven campaign to get the band a record contract.

The Fray fut élu « Meilleur Nouveau Groupe » par le Denver's Westword Magazine et occupa rapidement les premières places des charts chez les disquaires de Denver. Sur la base de ce succès, le groupe signa avec Epic Release qui produisit en septembre 2005 leur album How to Save a Life.

  Happiness
Badd9                F#
is just outside my window
Badd9  F#  D#m7
Would it crash
Badd9                F#
blowing 80-miles an hour?
Badd9  F#  D#m7
Or is happiness
Badd9                F#
a little more like knocking
Badd9  F#  D#m7
On your door,
Badd9                F#
and you just let it in?

Badd9  F#  D#m7
Badd9                F#

Badd9  F#  D#m7
   Happiness
Badd9                F#
feels a lot like sorrow
Badd9  F#  D#m7
Let it be,
Badd9                F#
you can't make it come or go
Badd9  F#  D#m7
But you are gone-
Badd9                F#
not for good but for now
Badd9  F#  D#m7
Gone for now
Badd9                F#
feels a lot like gone for good

Badd9  F#  D#m7
   Happiness
Badd9                F#
is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Badd9  F#  D#m7
   Happiness
Badd9                F#
was never mine to hold
Badd9  F#  D#m7
Careful child,
Badd9                F#
light the fuse and get away
Badd9  F#  D#m7
'Cause happiness
Badd9                F#
throws a shower of sparks

   Happiness
Badd9                F#
damn near destroys you
Badd9  F#  D#m7
Breaks your faith
Badd9                F#
to pieces on the floor
Badd9  F#  D#m7
So you tell yourself,
Badd9                F#
that's probably enough for now

You Found Me

According to the Never Say Never Songfacts, this is a direct love song between two people who are &quot;pulling apart and coming together again and again.&quot; 

G                   D           Em
There's some things we don't talk about

          C
Rather do without
                  G          D
And just hold the smile

G       D      Em
Falling in and out of love

                  C
Ashamed and proud of

                 G          D
Together all the while

G                 D
You can never say never

            Em
Why we don't know when

         C
Time and time again

        G           D    G
Younger now than we were before

G
Don't let me go

Bm
Don't let me go

Em         C
Don't let me go
[X2]

[Use the same chords, listen to song to figure out when to change chords
and strum pattern]

Picture you're the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
Steady your hand

You can never say never
Why we don't know when
Time, time and time again
Younger now then we were before

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
[X6]

Asus2                   Em                  D
We're falling apart and coming together again and again
Asus2                   Em                  
We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again

Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Never Say Never

C           G     Em
I've seen this one before
         Dm
The girl she gets away
   C     G        Em
Everybody knows it
        Dm
But no one tries to stop it
     C          G          Em
'Cause she barely even knows him
      Dm
But if she could see inside
C           G              Em
Everything is quiet as she waits
         Dm
To tell him who she is

Chorus:
     D    Em7  C9          G
Is this all we get to be absolute?
  C        G         Em        Dm
Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
 C         G         Em      Dm
Tell me everything 'cause I want to hear

# (Do verse chords)
It's a kiss sits upon on her lips
That waits for planes and battle ships
She wants to be a dancer
And he has got a picture on his wall

And it's a sailor in
A new port every night
Yet man was born to trouble
Like sparks fly upwards innocent

     D    Em7  C9          G
Is this all we get to be absolute?
  C        G         Em        Dm
Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
 C         G         Em      Dm
Tell me everything 'cause I want to hear
 C        G         Em        Dm
Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
 C         G         Em      Dm
Tell me everything 'cause I want to hear

# (Do Chorus chords)
All we are and all we want
Forty years come and gone
All we are in photographs
Will never be taken

 C        G         Em        Dm
Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
 C         G         Em      Dm
Tell me everything 'cause I want to hear
 C        G         Em        Dm
Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
 C         G         Em      Dm
Tell me everything 'cause I want to hear

Em          Dm
There is something here
Em          Dm
There is something here

The Fray

VERSE:

 G                                C
 There are certain people you just keep coming back to
        Em      C            G
 She is right in front of you
 G                             C
 You begin to wonder could you find a better one
          Em    D         G
 Compared to her now she's in question

CHORUS:

     Em             C               G
 And all at once the crowd begins to sing
               Em                   C                   G
 Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
           G                  C
 Maybe you want her maybe you need her
           G             C     G      D       C
 Maybe you started to compare to some-one not there

VERSE:

 G                             C
 Looking for the right one you line up the world to find
          Em       D                G
 Where no questions cross your mind
     G                             C
 But she won't keep on waiting for you without a doubt
      Em        D      G
 Much longer for you to sort it out

CHORUS:

     Em             C               G
 And all at once the crowd begins to sing
               Em                   C                   G
 Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
           G                  C
 Maybe you want her maybe you need her
           G             C     G     D       C
 Maybe you started to compare to some-one not there
           G                 C
 Maybe you want it maybe you need it,
            G                  C
 Maybe it's all you're running from,
    G       D        C
 Perfection will not come

OUTRO CHORUS:

     Em             C              G
 And all at once the crowd begins to sing
     Em   C    G
 Sometimes (sometimes)
      Em               C                 G
 We'd never know what's wrong without the pain

All At Once

VERSE 1:

C                    G/B   
Step one you say we need to talk
    Am                 G        G/B    C
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
             G/B           Am
He smiles politely back at you
             G       G/B      C
You stare politely right on through
               G/B          Am
Some sort of window to your right
             G       G/B      C
As he goes left and you stay right
              G/B             Am
Between the lines of fear and blame
                   G     G/B       
And you begin to wonder why you came


CHORUS:

  F             G                Am
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            C             G
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    F                   G                Am
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             C             G
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
    Am                 G        G/B    C
Cause after all you do know best
             G/B           Am
Try to slip past his defence
             G       G/B      C
Without granting innocence
               G/B          Am
Lay down a list of what is wrong
             G       G/B      C
The things you've told him all along
                   G     G/B       
And pray to God he hears you

CHORUS:

  F             G                Am
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

As he begins to raise his voice

You lower yours and grant him one last choice
             G/B           Am
Drive until you lose the road
             G       G/B      C
Or break with the ones you've followed
               G/B          Am
He will do one of two things 
             G       G/B      C
He will admit to everything
              G/B             Am
Or he'll say he's just not the same
                   G     G/B       
And you'll begin to wonder why you came


CHORUS:

Dm                  F             Am                Bb
Instead of walking away and instead of nowhere to land

When it falls into place with you and I, we go from if to when
Dm            F               Am                C
Your side and mine are both behind it's indication
Dm            F               Am

This'll take the heart right out of me

She is everything I want that I never knew I needed

Looking for something I've never seen

Verse 1:

   Cadd9
I never knew
    Em              G             Cadd9
I never knew that everything was falling through
        Em        G               Cadd9
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
    Em       G               Am   Em        D
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
                     Cadd9
But that's how it's got to be
       Em              G               Cadd9
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
      Em             G              Cadd9
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
      Em        G           Am      Em        D
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears


Chorus:

C    G    Em        G
Everyone knows I'm in
C        G     Em      D
Over my head, over my head
       C    G              Em     G
With eight seconds left in overtime
      Am       G          Em   D    C
She's on your mind, she's on your mind

Verse 2:

         C
Let's rearrange
   Em              G                Cadd9
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
    Em           G              Cadd9
To say that we agree and then never change
    Em   G            Am        Em    D
Soften a bit until we all just get along
            Cadd9
But that's disregard
     Em           G              Cadd9
You find another friend and you discard
        Em          G          Cadd9
As you lose the argument in a cable car
     Em   G            Am    Em     D
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

I'm becoming the part that don't last

Verse 3:

In the throw around

Never thought that you wanted to bring it down

Am
          F               C       G  Am
I found a picture in my basement
          F               C       G  Am
My face a hundred years ago
            F             C       G  Am
But I don't wanna do like he did
             F             C      G  Am      
So full of pride and all alone

          F       C     G   Am
Escape is in my blood
     F       C          G   Am
The fear is in my bones
       F          C          G 
But I don't wanna walk that road
Am
Please, help me?

Chorus

Am   F  C
Hold my hand,
G
I hear ghost calling.
Am   F  C
Help me stand,

Even if the sky is falling.
Am    F           C
And I want you to know,

I can't do it alone.
Am   F  C      
Hold my hand, my hand, my hand.

This is the burden that I carry
    F       C              G       Am
And it goes back a hundred years
            F      C      G    Am
But all the shit I did,
     F         C  G Am
I am done with it

He's got every right to leave
Am
But stay with me


Chorus:

Am   F  C
Hold my hand,
G
I hear ghost calling.
Am   F  C
Help me stand,

Even if the sky is falling.
Am    F           C
And I want you to know,

I can't do it alone.

Hold my hand, my hand, my hand.

You're the reason why,

I can write a different story

Lift me up, lift me up

I'm falling on my knees again, baby

I can see the sky falling

When darkness comes upon you

And covers you with fear and shame

Remember all the words I said

Be still, be still, and know
 
 
         G      D           Am Em
And when you go through the valley
         G     D          C        G
And the shadow comes down from the hill
   G       D     Am      Em
If morning never comes to be
    G         D         G
Be still, be still, be still
 
 
   C              Em
If you forget the way to go
    G                   D
And lose where you came from
   G         D          Am   Em
If no one is standing beside you
   G         D      G
Be still and know I am
 
 
   G         D         Am       Em
Be still and know that I'm with you

Scars & Stories

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,

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days

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.

and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy

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
