Driving through the south, no need to stop for gas
B                           C#
Thats all taken care of, by the gas man
B                             C#
Some of it is very beautiful, some of it has scars
B                       Asus2
and some of it is ugly, as a bigot in a bar
B                                   C#
Travelling through the south by car, me and Bonn and Charlie B
B                               C#
The night makes us stop, by the side of the road for tea
B                                              C#
I look up in the distance, a branding iron is stuck up in the night sky

It's in the shape of American, and it's in flames
Asus2
but I'm not sure why

someone always wants to fight

G        G/F#         Cadd9
You end up lying on the ground




Am                         F

In my ears hear the ocean roaring

Am                        F
Like all good wayfaring sons

Am                   G        
Travel home and the rain is pouring

G
Soaks me to the skin, I duck into this public house and get shattered by the din.

And back to the intro/verse chords.

C                                     G                C

Sound of rapid gun fire exploding in my ear
C                                 F                      Am
I drink through the nightmares of friends crying out for help

Whiskey wine and beer
C                                F           G
The sound of glasses clinking so sweet to my ear
C                               F                  Am

What is our destiny

I like swimming in the sea
C                 D                  Em
I like to go out beyond the white breakers

Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one
C        D              G
I like swimming in the sea

I like drinking Irish tea
C                    D       Em        
With a little bit of Lapsan su Chang

# Chorus/bridge
Em             C     D           G
All around is anger,  automatic guns
Em             C                      D                    G
Death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones
Em               C      D                 G
Tried talking to Jesus but he just put me on hold

Still this emptiness persists

Perhaps this is as good as it gets
C                          D              Em
When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
C                   D      Em
Now leave the party early at least with no regrets
C                  D           Em
I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets
C            D               G
Yeah this is as good as it gets

V5
G      D                   G
My my my its a beautiful world
C          D           G
I like sleeping with Marie

She is one sexy girl - full of mystery
C                    D       Em
She says she doesn't love me but likes my company
C              D                G 
For now that's good enough for me

V6
G      D                   G

Dm                   Am 
The lines are broken between she and I 
        Bb                                C 
But the road is as straight as an arrow 
F                                  Am 
We had walked in a beautiful forest 
                      Bb 
But after a while the trees grew thin 
                  C 
And offered little shade 
Dm                Am                                     Bb  C 
Now more than ever our lives move of their own volition 
  
F 
I sleep walk in the night 
I don't wanna, I don't wanna 
Dm 
I let the day decide 
I'm searching for, I'm searching for 
F 
I swim against the tide 
I only wanna,  I only wanna 
Dm 
Get to the other side 
You can always find me 
Bb               C 
Waitin for the right time 
               
   Bb                     C 
But I can't wait till the end 
 
Dm  Am          Bb     C 
You moved out of reach 
F         Am      Bb    C 
Slipped out of my hands 
Dm  Am          Bb     C 
I live in my dreams 
              Bb              F 
I have of you still holding me

Against The Tide

Topanga

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

We just need a face to face
C                    Em7            F
You could pick the time and the place

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.
