Verse #1:
F5                                  G#5   -              D#5   -
 Two packs of cigarettes a day, the strongest whiskey Kentucky can make
F5                        G#5   -         D#5   -
 That's a recipe to put a vagabond on his hands and knees
F5                                               G#5   -              D#5   -      (F5)
 I watched it all up close, I knew him more than most I saw a side of him he never showed
F5                      G#5   -             D#5   -
 Full of sympathy for a world that wouldn't let him be

 
Pre-chorus :
A#5
 That's the man he was, 
C#5
 Have you heard enough?



Chorus :
F#5  -  G#5   -       D#5                                   (F#5)
 What a shame, what a shame, to judge a life that you can't change
F#5  -     G#5   -                 D#5                                  F#5
 The choir sings, the church bells ring, so won't you give this man his wings?
       G#5    -         D#5                               C#5  -  C5   -
What a shame to have to beg you to See we're not all the same
       (F#5)
What a shame

2nd verse :
          F5                                         G#5   -             D#5   -
There's a hard life for every silver spoon, there's a touch of grey for every shade of blue
F5                                           G#5   -                        D#5   -
 That's the way that I see life if there was nothing wrong, then there'd be nothing right
F5                                               G#5   -                  D#5   -         (F5)
 And for this working man they say could barely stand, there's gotta be a better place to land
F5                         G#5   -             D#5   -
 Some kind of remedy for a world that wouldn't let him be

 Have you heard enough?

 What a shame, what a shame, to judge a life that you can't change
F#5  -     G#5   -                 D#5                                  F#5
 The choir sings, the church bells ring, so won't you give this man his wings?
       G#5    -         D#5                               C#5  -  C5   -
What a shame to have to beg you to See we're not all the same

A5 --  B5 --    C5 --      E5 --   D5
God forgive the hands that laid you down (They never knew how)
A5 --  B5 --  C5 --     E5 --     D5
Much a broken heart can break the sound (and change the season)
C5                                D5
Now the leaves are falling faster, Happily ever after

You gave me hope through your endeavors
D5-- E5-- F5-- G5-- A5-- B5-- C5 
And now you will live forever

F#5  -     G#5   -                 D#5                                  F#5
 The choir sings, the church bells ring, so won't you give this man his wings?
       G#5    -         D#5                              (F#5)
What a shame to have to beg you to See we're not all the same



Outro:

----------------------

Intro:

Gm - D - Bb - Cm - D


Gm                           D
(If I had a world of my own everything will be nonsense)
Bb                                           Cm                       D
(Nothing will be what it is because everything will be what it isn't) 

Verse 1:

Gm                                     D
I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time
Bb                                    Cm                   D
And every creature lends themself to change your state of mind
         Gm                                    D
And the girl that chased the rabbit drank the wine and took the pill
     Bb                             Cm
Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels
Eb           Cdim
To stand outside your virtue
Bb          F
No one can ever hurt you
Eb         Cdim*
Or so they say 

Chorus:

             Gm      Bb
Her name is Alice (Alice)
            Eb
She crawls into the window 
Through shapes and shadows 
Gm       Bb
Alice (Alice)
           Eb                         Cm*
And even though she is dreaming, she knows

Verse 2:

                Gm                    D
Sometimes the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain
     Bb                          Cm              D
And every ounce of innocence is left inside her brain
     Gm                                    D
And through the looking glass we see shes painfully returned
    Bb                               Cm           D
But now off with her head I fear is everyone's concern
Eb              Cdim
You see there's no real ending
Bb         F
It's only the beginning 
Eb           Cdim*
Come out and play 

Chorus:

            Gm       Bb
Her name is Alice (Alice)
            Eb
She crawls into to the window
Through shapes and shadows
Gm       Bb
Alice (Alice)
          Eb
And even though she is dreaming
                                F
She's unlocked the meaning for you

Bridge:

            Gm             Eb
This kingdom good riddance
                           F
Her freedom and innocence
                  Gm         Eb
Has brought this whole thing down

Chorus/Outtro:

            Gm       Bb
Her name is Alice (Alice)
            Eb
She crawls into to the window 
Through shapes and shadows
Gm      Bb
Alice (Alice)
          Eb
And even though she is dreaming 
Shes unlocked the meaning

 Gm                         Bb
(Red knights, White Knights marching into the fight
Eb
Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me)
 Gm                         Bb
(Red knights, White Knights marching into the fight
Eb
Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me)     Gm    D
               Shes unlocked the meaning for you
                          Bb
(In contrary wise what it is it wouldn't be)
             Cm
(And what it wouldn't be it would) 
(You see)
Gm*

Her Name Is Alice

Verse:

Am
If you only knew
Am
I'm hanging by a thread
F         C          F       C
The web I spin for you
Am
If you only knew
Am
I'd sacrifice my beating
F         C           F      C
Heart before I lose you


Prechorus:

Dsus2
I still hold onto the letters
G
You returned
G
I swear I've lived and learned


Chorus:

C       Em             
It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Am                     G
Without you next to me I
G                      C
Toss and turn like the sea
C            Em
If I drown tonight, bring me
Em      Am
Back to life
Am
Breathe your breath in me
    G
The only thing that I still
F       C  G  Am      F   C G  Am
believe in is you, if you only knew

If You Only Knew

Intro: F#m-F#m-A-E  x2

F#m
Two packs of cigarettes a day
    A
The strongest whiskey
   E                F#m
Kentucky can make
                         A
That's a recipe to put a vagabond
       E                 F#m
On his hands and knees

I watched it all up close,
                     A
I knew him more than most
                E                   F#m
I saw a side of him he never showed
                       A
Full of sympathy for a world that
         E
Wouldn't let him be


Bm
    That's the man he was,
D             C#
    Have you heard enough?


F#m      A             E
What a shame, what a shame,
                                  F#m
To judge a life that you can't change
           A                       E
The choir sings, the church bells ring
                                 F#m
So, won't you give this man his wings?
         A               E
What a shame to have to beg you to
                      D    C#
See we're not all the same
       F#m
What a shame

F#m-A-E
F#m-F#m-A-E

          F#m
There's a hard life for every silver spoon
         A                       E
There's a touch of grey for every shade of blue
F#m
That's the way that I see life
             A
If there was nothing wrong,
                E
Then there'd be nothing right
F#m
And for this working man they say could
       A
Barely stand
                     E             F#m
There's gotta be a better place to land
                          A
Some kind of remedy for a world that
         E
Wouldn't let him be


Bm
   That's the man he was,
D            C#
   Have you heard enough?


F#m      A             E
What a shame, what a shame,
                                  F#m
To judge a life that you can't change
           A                       E
The choir sings, the church bells ring
                                 F#m
So, won't you give this man his wings?
         A               E
What a shame to have to beg you to
                      D    C# 
See we're not all the same

        Bm-A  
What a shame         

Bridge:

Bbm-Cm-C#-Fm-Eb x2 

Bbm     Cm      C#          Fm      Eb
God forgive the hands that laid you down,

They never knew how, 
Bbm      Cm      C#         Fm       Eb
But your broken heart can break the sound,

And change the season
C#                                 Eb
Now the leaves are falling faster, happily ever after
C#                 
You gave me hope through your endeavors
    Eb  Fm  F#m  Ab   Bb  Cm C#  
And now you will live for-e--ver          
                                       
                                      
                                      
F#m       A          E
What a shame, what a shame,
                                 F#m
To judge a life that you can't change
           A                      E
The choir sings, the church bells ring
                                 F#m
So, won't you give this man his wings?
         A               E
What a shame to have to beg you to
                      F#m
See we're not all the same
         A             E
What a shame, what a shame
                         F#m
'Cause we're not all the same
         A             E
What a shame, what a shame
                         F#m
'Cause we're not all the same

[Intro]
| Em     D/F#  |   G    -   |  Csus2  |  Gm7/C  |

[Verse 1]
Em     D/F#     G
Send away for a priceless gift
Csus2           Gm7/C
One not subtle, One not on the list.
Em     D/F#     G
Send away for a perfect world
Csus2         Gm7/C
One not simply so absurd.
Em      D/F#      G
In these times of doing what you're told
Csus2              Gm7/C
Keep these feelings, no one knows.
Am                       Em
Whatever happened to the young man's heart.
Am                       G      D   Em
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart.

[Chorus]
Em                                   D
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
C                             D
Swimming through the ashes of another life.
Em                               D
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
C                            Am
Staring down the barrel of a 45.

[Instrumental Break]
| Em     D/F#  |   G    -   |  Csus2  |  Gm7/C  |

[Verse 2]
Em     D/F#     G
Send a message to the unborn child
Csus2           Gm7/C
Keep your eyes open for a while
Em     D/F#     G
In a box high up on the shelf
Csus2         Gm7/C
Left for you no one else
Em      D/F#      G
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Csus2              Gm7/C
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight
Am                       Em
Whatever happened to the young man's heart.
Am                       G      D   Em
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
           Bm                    C
Everyone's pointing their fingers
       Bm            C
Always condemning me
 Bm
Nobody knows what
  Em   D/F#    G
I believe
  Csus2    Gm7/C
I believe

Bm                   A           G 
I feel like there is no need for   conversation
Bm                  A          G
Some questions are better left   without a reason
Bm                   A                   G
And I would rather reveal myself than my   situation
F                        G
Now and then I consider my hesitation

Em           G
The more the light shines through me
D            A 
I pretend to close my eyes
Em            G
The more the dark consumes me
D             Fm
I pretend I'm burning, burning bright

Bm              A                 G
I wonder if the things I did were   just to be different
Bm                     A                 G
To spare myself of the constant shame of   my existence
Bm                  A                  G
And I would surely redeem myself in my   desperation
F                          G
Here and now I'll express my situation

Em            G
The more the light shines through me
D             A
I pretend to close my eyes
Em            G
The more the dark consumes me
D             A
I pretend I'm burning bright
Em            G
The more the light shines through me
D             A
I pretend to close my eyes
Em            G
The more the dark consumes me
D             Fm
I pretend I'm burning

Bm                        A                         G
There's nothing ever wrong, but nothing's ever right
G
Such a cruel contradiction
Bm                        A                        G
I know I crossed the line, it's not easy to define
G
I'm born to indecision
Bm                           A                                 G
There's always something new, some path I'm supposed to choose
G
With no particular rhyme or reason

Em            G
The more the light shines through me
D             A             
I pretend to close my eyes
Em            G             
The more the dark consumes me
D             A              
I pretend I'm burning bright
Em            G                      
The more the light shines through me
D             A
I pretend to close my eyes
Em            G              
The more the dark consumes me

Well mama told me, when I was young

Said sit beside me, my only son

Ahhh

You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget that there's is a someone up above

Be a simple kind of man
Be a something you love and understand

Oh won't you do this for me son if you can

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need now is in your soul
And you can do this(oh baby)if you try
All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied

[Chorus]
And be a simple kind of man
Be a something that you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can

Oh don't you worry
You'll find yourself
Follow your heart
And nothing else
And you can do this(oh baby)if you try
All that I want from you my son is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can
So baby be a simple be a simple man
Oh won't you do this for me son if you can

Leave A Whisper

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
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.

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

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
