In order to make it a bit easier to play I mute the 'g' string 
with my thumb on the Ab chords.

You gotta swim
              Ab
Swim for your life
             Eb
Swim for the music 

That saves you
                                  Ab
When you're not so sure you'll survive

          Eb
You gotta swim
             Ab
Swim when it hurts
                   Eb
The whole world is watching 

You haven't come this far
                Ab
To fall off the earth

    Bb
The currents will pull you
               Ab
Away from your love

Just keep your head above


                                  
Eb
I found a tidal wave
Bb                      Ab
Begging to tear down the door
Eb
Memories like bullets
     Bb                 Ab
They fired at me from a gun
Eb         Bb
Cracking me open now
Eb
I swim for brighter days
Bb                        Ab
Despite of the absense of sun
Eb         Bb
Choking on salt water
Ab    Eb         Bb
  I'm not giving in


Eb      Ab

You gotta swim
              Ab
Through nights that won't end
              Eb
Swim for your family

Your lovers your sisters
                   Ab
Your brothers and friends
          Eb
You gotta swim
                 Ab
For wars without cause
             Eb
Swim for the lost politicians
                               Ab
Who don't see their greed is a flaw
    Bb
The currents will pull us
              Ab
Away from our love

Just keep your head above

There's an ocean to drift in
                                      Ab
Feel the tide shifting away from this war
               Eb
Yeah you gotta swim

Don't let yourself sink

G                Bm
There's a lot that I don't know
             A
There's a lot that I'm still learning
      G                Bm
When I think I'm letting go
             A
I find my body it's still burning
                G     Bm
And you hold me down
              A
And you got me living in the past
  A             G       Bm
Come on and pick me up
  Bm               A
Somebody clear the

wreckage from the blast



 G         D
Yeah I'm alive
 Bm               A
But I don't need a witness

I'm not looking for forgiveness

Yeah I just need life
      Bm                 
I'll be lying in the dark
  A                  G
As I search for the resolution


 G                Bm
And the bars are finally closed
         A
So I try living in the moment
 G                Bm
For the moment it just froze
          A
And I felt sick and so alone
                  G       Bm
I could hear the sound
          A
Of your voice still ringing in my ear
                 G     Bm
I'm going underground
        A
But you'll find me anywhere I fear

Yeah I'm alive

To know that I've survived

The resolution

And you hold me down
Yeah you hold me down

Yeah I'm alive

But I don't need a witness

The Glass Passenger

Verse:

D#
I've got my things, I'm good to go
Gm
You met me at the terminal
Cm            G#                  D#   D#/D
Just one more plane ride and it's done.
D#
We stood like statues at the gate
Gm
Vacation's come and gone too late
Cm              G#
There's so much sun where I'm from
D#                  D#/D               D#                               
I had to give it away, had to give you away.
D#                           Gm    
And we spent four days on an island
                     Cm
At your family's old hotel.
             G#
Sometimes perfection can be,
D#                D#/D      
It can be perfect Hell,
G#
Perfect.


Chorus:

G#
Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
       D#
That I am not there
                                G#
I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this
                         D#
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised.
G#
Don't fly fast.  Oh, pilot can you help me
        D#
Can you make this last?  This plane is all I got
           G#
So keep it steady now, cos every inch you see is 
D#     D#/D    
Bruised

Verse:

I lace my Chucks I walk the aisle,
I take my pills, the babies cry.
All I hear 
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio
Now every word of every song
I've ever heard that made me want to stay
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio
And I, I am finally waking up.

Chorus

Bridge:

D#                     Gm
So read your books but stay out late
Cm
Some nights, some nights.
    D#                   Gm               Cm
And don't think that you can't stop by the bar.
    D#                 Gm                     Cm
You haven't shown your face here since the bad news.
    D#                   Gm
I'm here til close, with fingers crossed,
     G#                   A#                          
Each night cos your place isn't far.
    G#              D#
And hours pass, and hours pass.
G#
Yeah, Yeah

I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge
             Bb          Gm      F
Unraveling with every word
       Bb         Gm    F
With every word you say, make me believe
                     Bb   Gm        F
That I won't feel your tires on the street
                 Bb     Gm            F
As I'm finding the words... 
                     Bb    Gm   F
you're getting away
                    Bb Gm   F
I come undone, oh yes, I do
         Bb       Gm      F
Just think of all the thoughts wasted on you
                          Bb      Gm      F
And every word you say, say something sweet
                    Bb         Gm       F
Cause all I taste is blood between my teeth
                       Bb     Gm        F
As I'm finding the words... 
                      Bb Gm   F
you're getting away
                 Bb Gm   F

(Chorus  Bb F Gm  A  Bb)
Well I'm ready, I'm ready to drop
Oh, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't stop
I'm ready so don't stop, Keep pushing
I'm ready to fall, oh, I'm ready
I'm ready so don't call, I'm ready so don't call

I was lost for good in outer space

To pour down on you

Rain that makes the flowers bloom

Rain to leave you all alone

Kill the messenger

Dsus2 D         C                G
Guess what, I'm done writing you songs
            G/F# Em
You give up your job at the bank
        D/F#                        C
Proving money's not fun when you're gone
               G           G/F#
So this is the first verse
     Am
It's not very long

But I'm ready to move on

Dsus2 D         C                 G
Guess what, I'm done writing your book
           G/F# Em       Em 
The ending got  twisted around
        D/F#                    C
But for all of the hell that it took
               G     G/F#
The electrical wires
     Am
Were hung on the walls
       D/F#
In the room that I rent now

                       C       C              G
Well actually I've got friends who (la la la lie)
          G/F# Em   Em 
Will help me   pull through

The  spaceman that can't get high
Am                    D/F#
I'm coming back to my girl by July

Dsus2/F#    C     G              G/F#
Yeah, yeah, yeah.   That's right.

So, guess what, I'm done drawing you pictures
          G/F#  Em
I'm dulling the day with the drink
     D                     C
In a parking garage by the theater
               G
We met for the movie
      Am
Every scene was a sign
        D/F
We made out through their meaning

              C       C             G
Well I've got friends who (la la la lie)
          G/F# Em   Em 
Will help me   pull through

        G/F#  Em
I'm far too unstable to settle
  D/F#                       C
I doubt that the doctors are wrong
                  G
So I'll wait by a palm tree,
G/F# Am           D/F#   D/F#
A    palm tree, a palm tree

La La Lie


Verse 1:
Am        Em
This is morning
        G                D
That's when I spend the most time
F               C          G    D
Thinking 'bout what I've given up

Am          Em
This is a warning
          G                      D            
When you start the day just to close the curtains
          F            C         G     D
You're thinking about what I've given up


Chorus 1:
               F      Am
Where are you now?
          C                   D
As I'm swimming through the stereo 
       F              C         G
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
               F      Am
Where are you now?
         C           D
As I rearrange the songs again
      F               C         G
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
            F                  Am
But it was you I was thinking of
        F                 Am       Em     G     D
It was you I was thinking of

Verse 2:

I read your letter
The one you left when you broke into my house
I'm Retracing ever step you made
And you said you meant it
And there's a piece of me in every single
Second of every single day
             F                 A               G       D
But if it's true then tell me how it got this way

**Repeat Chorus 1**


Bridge 1:
                F(2) C(2) G(2)
I can't get to you
                F    C    G
I can't get to you
                F    C    G
I can't get to you, you, you


Chorus 2:
Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'll conduct a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I'm cutting through you track by track
I swear to God this mix could sink the sun
But it was you I was thinking of
It was you I was thinking of

Bridge 2:
And where are you now?
(And where are you now?)
And where are you now?
(And where are you now?)

Outro:
             F        Am       G
And this is my mixed tape for her
      F       Am    G    D                 F
It's like I wrote every note with my own fingers

The Mixed Tape

Everything In Transit 

A
Finally
                  F#m
I'm letting go of all my downer thoughts
                    Bm
In no time there'll be one less sad robot
              E
Looking for a chance to be something more than just metal

A
Now I'm going part time
        F#m
With a film projectionist
             Bm
And shes the vinyl queen

From my surfer dream
                E
She likes the beach boys more than radio metal

D
And she's so good
     Bm                E
But she's no good for me

        A      E
Miss Delaney
            F#m   D
Whats the matter?
                  A
You waited by the window
                   E
(You waited by the window)
                F#m    D
I waited by the door
      A     E
Miss delaney

                F#m      D
Where's your boyfriend?
                A
He isn't up in heaven
          E             F#m     D
So why treat him like hes dead?

A
It's not that everyday
                               F#m
Everyday is coming up with the green grass

But the time's passed
     Bm
When I think of you 
     E
Whenever I'm at dinner

A
Finally
                        F#m
I've found someone to dull this lonely scene
                    Bm       
I don't spend my nights searching 

For earthquakes

        E                              D
It's biblical how fucked my sleep can be
       Bm                E
But she won't sleep with me

        A      E
Miss Delaney
            F#m   D
Whats the matter?
                  A
You waited by the window
                   E
(You waited by the window)
                F#m    D
I waited by the door

      A     E
Miss delaney
                F#m      D
Where's your boyfriend?
                A
He isn't up in heaven
          E             F#m     D
So why treat him like hes dead?
     A     E    F#m  D
Like hes dead?

(repeat chorus over "Dead")

E             Fm      
From here you can't find everything
F#m
Aaron, I
      Bm           E 
Would never lie to you


        A      E
Miss Delaney
           F#m   D
Whatcha sad for?
                  A
You waited by the window
                E
I waited by the window
                F#m    D
And I was kicking down your door

      A     E
Miss delaney
                F#m      D
Where's your boyfriend?
                A
He isn't up in heaven
          E             F#m     D
So why treat him like hes dead?
A

I'm coming home from my hardest year

Dm			Am
I'm making plans not to make plans while I'm here

F		C	     G             Am             G
And this life has been no holiday, a complicated situation

F	       C		G
I'm fine with all my memories

Am		  G
Still I could use vacation


   F       C      G    Am   G
It's Christmas in California

F		 C	        G	   Am         G
And it's hard to ignore that it feels like summer all the time

F           C    G                Am     G
But I'll take a west coast winter to
F	     C
remove my splinters

It's good to be alive

Streets look the same, still nothing's as it was

F	       C                  G               Am    G
This place is paradise I'm sure, here's my reservation

F	    C		       G
I've gotten lost here once before

Inside a good vibration

It's Christmas in California

It's good to be alive

And time, time it stops for no one

The seasons come and go and that's just time
      F      C
Yeah time it stops for no one
    Am
The seasons keep on going

Whether or not we're blind

It's Christmas in California

It's good to be alive

G      C         Am      C                 
And I stayed awake for a day or two,
G           C             Am             C
I thought about the world, drank gin and watched the news
G          C         Am          C         G    
And there are some things I'll never understand 
G     C               Am         C       G C   Am C
Why a country needs a God, and a woman needs a man 


F       C              F
And you never write me letters 
F       C             F
And you never sent my sweaters 
F            Am                     G
So I could stay warm when I was without you 
G                         G     C     Am  C  G  C  Am  C
Without you I don't sleep, Just dream 


G        C               Am        C
And I scratch these words into a black notebook 
G             C         Am            C
I wrote your name on top I knew you'd never look 
G      C    Am               C        
I tried my best to fight the atmosphere 
G             C             Am                C         F
To think the happy thoughts, that leave the phone lines clear 
F    C              Am            G    
I see Arizona stars from here but Peter Pan is miles away 


F       C              F
And you never write me letters 
F       C             F
And you never sent my sweaters 
F            Am                     G
So I could stay warm when I was without you 
G                        F
Without you I don't have
F               C                 Am
A place that's safe from all the monsters 
                G                   F
That hide in my head and sing me to sleep, sleep 
F                      Am
This is the last straw

                  F                                        
This is the last straw she said
                            C
And I won't wait for you forever 
                          Am      
While you run around like JFK
                                     G
You watched that poor girl waste the best years of her life
                           F
And I'll be damned if I am going out

I will not go out that way


C  Am  G  F 


F       C              F
And you never write me letters 
F       C             F
And you never sent my sweaters 
F            Am                 G
So I could stay warm when I was gone 
G                        
Without you I don't have 
F               C                 Am
A place that's safe from all the monsters 
                G                     F
That hide in my head and keep me 'til dawn 
F                     
I think, this is the last straw.

Last Straw

   I'm looking for a sign My spirit's faded

   She holds on like a vine Patterns in traffic 
D       Dm                  A                E
   They sound just like my heart racing the dark 


           D       A               D     A
In time to catch you No one should let you 
              D            A                    E
Go wandering off into the night You're not an orphan. 


D                        A
   I keep waiting for my breath To come back never 
D                           A
   So I've take what I have left Patterns in traffic

   The pulse just like my heart racing the dark

In time to catch you No one should let you

Go wandering off into the night You're not an orphan. 
               D       A            D     A
Right there to catch you I won't forget you 
               D                A                   E
But now you're wandering to the night But you're no orphan. 

You're not an orphan 


D          A
   I never thought the day would come 
D          A 
   They tell me that you've finally run 
D          A                   E
   I guess you always said you would someday 

You're not an orphan

Orphans

I am taking you with me
                D                A         G
Where we can contemplate our chemistry
         D          A          G
And your eyes were lined with questions
         D                A      G
With the blood rushing to waste
                D             A             
To take this feeling with us to our graves, to our graves


G  D           A                    G  D
     I get the feeling we're so misdirected

   And we won't wake up on Sunday 
       D        A          G
So I'm building us a church
             D                  A            G
Where we can sleep in, With the gods at work
        D            A        G
And our friends will write us letters
              D              A           G
They'll never understand why we don't call
             D             A             
We're hiding out until the empire falls, Let it fall.

If we have lost control, we're drifting slow, into the so

[Verse 1]
             F 
Baby really hurt me
                Am 
crying in the taxi
                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm

Gm                  C
   Says it was poison
                 F
So I guess I go home 
          Am                     Dm
into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am
play it romance
         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#

                Dm

                Am               A#
till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave

I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Outro]
             Dm           F           A#
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Why Cry

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around
                                                Fm                        
Got some extra time think I'll throw some money down
                                                     D
And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

Up Here

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed

G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say

Son, I missed my chance

Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
