I'm driving a big lazy car rushin' up the highway in the dark
               A
I got one hand steady on the wheel and one hand's tremblin' over my heart
     E
It's pounding baby like it's gonna bust right on through
        A                                            | E | E | E | E | A | A | A | A |
And it ain't gonna stop till I'm alone again with you

E
A friend of mine became a father last night
      A
When we spoke in his voice I could hear the light
       E
Of the skies and the rivers the timberwolf in the pines
               A
And that great jukebox out on Route 39
         E
They say he travels fastest who travels alone
      A                                                | E | E | E | E | A | A | A | A |
But tonight I miss my girl mister tonight I miss my home

          C#m
Is it the sound of the leaves left blown by the wayside
       G#m
That's got me out here on this spooky old highway tonight
          A
Is it the cry of the river with the moonlight shining through
     B
That ain't what scares me baby what scares me is losing you

| E | E | E | E | A | A | A | A | E | E | E | E | A | A | A | A |

                 E
They say if you die in your dreams you really die in your bed
         A
But honey last night I dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head
  E
And God's light came shinin' on through
   A
I woke up in the darkness scared and breathin' and born anew
              E
It wasn't the cold river bottom I felt rushing over me
              A
It wasn't the bitterness of a dream that didn't come true
              E
It wasn't the wind in the grey fields I felt rushing through my arms
   A                 | E | E | E | E | A | A | A | A |
No no baby it was you
E
So hold me close honey say you're forever mine
A                                        | E | E | E | E | A | A | A | A | fade out
And tell me you'll be my lonely valentine


Valentines Day

I got all the bonds baby that the bank could hold
I got houses 'cross the country honey end to end
And everybody buddy wants to be my friend

And all the little girls they wanna tear me apart
When I walk down the street people stop and stare
Well you think I might be thrilled but baby I don't care
Cause I got more good luck honey than old King Farouk

Until I got you in my arms I can't be satisfied

       G
I got a pound of caviar sitting home on ice

I got a fancy foreign car that rides like paradise

I got a hundred pretty women knockin' down my door

And folks wanna kiss me I ain't even seen before

Been paid a king's ransom for doin' what comes naturally

But I'm still the biggest fool honey this world ever knew

All That Heaven Will Allow

Bill Horton was a cautious man of the road
          G                                                          D
He walked lookin' over his shoulder and remained faithful to its code
G                             C
When something caught his eye he'd measure his need
G                   D            G
And then very carefully he'd proceed

                              C
Billy met a yound girl in the early days of May
        G                             Bm               C
It was there in her arms he let his cautiousness slip away
G                               C
In their lovers twilight as the evening sky grew dim
      G                     D                            G
He'd lay back in her arms and laugh what had happened to him

       C                               
On his right hand Billy tatooed the word love 
           Bm
And on his left hand was the word fear
    G                                            D
And in which hand he held his fate was never clear
 G                                   C
Come Indian summer he took his young lover for his bride
         G                             D                   G
And with own hands built a great house down by the riverside

| G | C | G | G | C D |

    G                       C
Now Billy was an honest man he wanted to do what was right
    G                                                            D
He worked hard to fill their lives with happy days and loving nights
 G                                      C
Alone on his knees in the darkness for steadiness he'd pray
 G                           D                        G
For he knew in a restless heart the seed of betrayal lay

          C                                 Bm
One night Billy awoke from a terrible dream callin' his wife's name
          G                                                        D
She lay breathing beside him in a peaceful sleep a thousand miles away
G                                    C
He got dressed in the moonlight and down to the highway he strode
         G               D                      G
When he got there he didn't find nothing but road

| G | C | C | Bm7 | Bm7

              G                          C
Billy felt a coldness rise up inside him that he couldn't name
             G                                     Bm                C
Just as the words tattooed 'cross his knuckles he knew would always remain
          G
At their bedside he brushed the hair from his wife's face 
        C
 as the moon shone on her skin so white
               G                    D                G
Filling their room with the beauty of God's fallen light

                                        A                    B7        
         E
And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune
                                  A                                B7  
                                         E
Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar, we're gonna teach 
boys to laugh too soon
                                    A                                         
                          E
And some kidnapped handicap was complaining that he caught the clap from some mousetrap 
bought last night
                                   A                               B7  
                     E
Well I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw a gap but he'd figured he'd be 
right

            A       B      E
He was just blinded by the light
              A               B       E
Ooh cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
    A    B     C#m   B7                              
                      A
Blinded by the light Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun

Oh but mama that's where the fun is

I was blinded

Blinded By The Light

F                  Am       Bb   C     Dm
Princess cards she sends me with her regards
    Gm                 Dm         Bb                     C
Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy to see her you gotta look hard
F               Am             Bb                C         Dm
Wounded deep in battle I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
       Gm                  Dm                  Bb         C     Bb  Am
To her Cheshire smile I'll stand on file she's all I ever wanted
Gm      Bb            C                F            Am
But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
       Bb             C       F      Am
Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
    Bb                    C       F        Am
You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks
         Csus4                       C
You said here's your mirror and your ball and jacks
    Csus4                   C           Csus4             C
But they're not what I came for and I'm sure you see that too

           Dm       Am   Gm         Bb   C       Dm
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency
                    Am   Gm         Bb   C        Dm
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency
         Fsus4              F       Fsus4               F  Dm C
and your cloud line urges me and my electric surges free


F             Am             Bb       C       Dm
Crawl into my ambulance your pulse is getting weak
      Gm                Dm                   Bb                         C
Oh, reveal yourself all now to me girl while you've got the strength to speak
              F                  Am       Bb         C      Dm
Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks
    Gm              Dm                Bb             C  Bb  Am
But I could give it all to you now if only you could ask
Gm        Bb            C            F                Am
And don't call for your surgeon even he says it's too late
              Bb         C              F                     Am
It's not your lungs this time it's your heart that holds your fate
      Bb         C             F               Am
Don't give me my money, honey, I don't want it back
             Csus4              C
You and your pony face and your Union Jack
     Csus4                     C
Well take your local joker and teach him how to act
  Csus4                           C
I swear I was never that way even when I really cracked
Csus4              C                  Dm            Am         Gm  Bb
Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
C       Dm
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound
                    Am             Gm     Bb
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
C         Dm
You could laugh and cry in a single sound


SOLO:  Fsus4  F  Fsus4  F


         C                              Bb                F
And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds
  C                                         Bb                C
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the God


    F                  Am                   Bb        C             Dm
Ah, you were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach
      Gm                  Dm                      Bb               C
Oh, remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach
        F                    Am                  Bb  C           Dm
And the band they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
           Gm             Dm               Bb                  C    Bb  Am
Yeah, that ragged, jagged melody she still clings to me like a leech
Gm       Bb                     C            F          Am
But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
       Bb                 C         F               Am
Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
        Csus4                             C
We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar
        Csus4                       C
Of some metal tempered engine on an alien distant shore
       Csus4                                 C
So you left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
                  Csus4           C
And it's not that nursery mouth I came back for
             Csus4                    C
And it's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
           Csus4                            C
cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors
    Csus4                  C
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores
    Csus4                  C
And you should know that's true

C Bb   C   Dm       Am   Gm         Bb   C       Dm
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency
                    Am   Gm         Bb   C        Dm
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency
         Fsus4              F       Fsus4               F

Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.

                                              A      E
My feets were flying down the street just the other night
                                   A        E
When a Hong Kong special pulled up at the light
                                     A      E
What was inside, man, was just c'est magnifique
                                                A        E     A
I wanted to hold the bumper and let her drag me down the street

                  E           A
Ooh, ooh, I gotta crush on you
                  E           A
Ooh, ooh, I gotta crush on you
                  E        C#m       B
Ooh, ooh, I gotta crush on you tonight

            E                               A          E
Sometimes I spot a little stranger standing 'cross the room
                                           A         E
My brain takes a vacation just to give my heart more room
                                 A                E
For one kiss, darling I swear everything I would give
                                  A        E   A
Cause you're a walking, talking reason to live

                  E           A
Ooh, ooh, I gotta crush on you
                  E           A
Ooh, ooh, I gotta crush on you
                  E        C#m       B
Ooh, ooh, I gotta crush on you tonight

                                        A      E
Well now she might be the talk of high society
                              A       E
She's probably got a lousy personality
                           A         E
She might be a heiress to Rockefeller
                             A        E
She might be a waitress or a bank teller
                                                 A     E
She makes the Venus de Milo look like she's got no style
                                    A          E
She make Sheena of the Jungle look meek and mild
                                    A        E
I need a quick shot, Doc, knock me off my feet
                                                A           E
Cause I'll be minding my own business walking down the street... watchout!



                  E           A
Ooh, ooh, I gotta crush on you
                  E           A
Ooh, ooh, I gotta crush on you
                  E        C#m       B | B | B | B | E
Ooh, ooh, I gotta crush on you tonight

D                      G6            A
I see you walking baby down the street
                            D        G
Pushing that baby carriage at your feet
                         A
I see that lonely ribbon in your hair
         A7                       D
Tell me am I the man for whom you put it there

D                         G6
You never smile girl, you never speak
         A                   D
You just walk on by, darling week after week
         G                      A
Raising two kids alone in this mixed up world
           A7               D           
Must be a lonely life for a working girl

                    G6
Little girl I wanna marry you
         A                    D
Oh yeah, little girl I wanna marry you
      G
Yes I do
        A             D
Little girl, I wanna marry you

                         G6
Now, honey I don't wanna clip your wings
      A                                  D                   G
But a time comes when two people should think of these things
                      A
Having a home and a family
       A7                  D
Facing up to their responsibilities
                               G6
They say that in the end true love prevails
            A                           D     G
But in the end true love can't be no fairytale
                              A
To say I'll make your dreams come true would be wrong
     A7                     D
But maybe darling, I could help them along


                    G6
Little girl I wanna marry you
         A                    D
Oh yeah, little girl I wanna marry you
      G
Yes I do
        A             D
Little girl, I wanna marry you

G                     A
My daddy said right before he died
     F#m7                Bm7
That true, true love was just a lie
 G                     A
He went to his grave a broken heart
    G                 A
An unfulfilled live, makes a man hard


Oh, darling,
D                                    G6
There's something happy and there's something sad
       A               D          G
'Bout wanting somebody, oh so bad
                        A
I wear my love darling without shame
        A7                 D
I'd be proud if you would wear my name

 Intro:  D and Dsus

 D                         D and Dsus
 I got my finger on the trigger
                          G
 But I don't know who to trust
                       D      A7sus4    
 I look into your eyes
                           D and Dsus
 There's just devils and dust

 D                           D and Dsus
 Long, long way from home, Bobbie
                               G
 Home's a long, long way from us
                          D      A7sus4    
 Feel a dirty wind blowin'
                 D and Dsus     
 Devils and dust

                      G
 I got God on my side
                           Dsus2/G#
 And I'm just trying to survive
                           Em7
 But if what you do to survive
                          A7sus4
 Kills the things you love
                        G
 Fear's a powerful thing
                                      Dsus2/G#
 Can turn your heart black you can trust
                              Em7       A7sus4
 It'll take your God filled soul
                               D and Dsus 
 And fill it with devils and dust

                              D and Dsus
 Well I dreamed of you last night
                              G 
 In a field of blood and stone
                       D      A7sus4    
 The blood began to dry
                       D and Dsus
 The smell began to rise

 D                                   D and Dsus
 Well I dreamed of you last night, Bob
                           G
 In a field of mud and bone
                       D      A7sus4    
 Your blood began to dry
                       D and Dsus    
 The smell began to rise


                         G
 We've got God on our side
                          Dsus2/G#
 We're just trying to survive
                           Em7

 Fear's a powerful thing
                                 Dsus2/G#
 Turn your heart black you can trust
                              G        A7sus4
 It'll take your God filled soul
                           D and Dsus
 Fill it with Devils and dust
                             G         A7sus4
 It'll take your God filled soul
                           D and Dsus
 Fill it with devils and dust

 (Repeat verse 1 chord sequence during harmonica solo)

 D                          D and Dsus
 Now every woman and every man
                                 G
 They want to take a righteous stand
                          D          A7sus4    
 Find the love that God wills
                           D and Dsus
 And the faith that he commands

 D                             D and Dsus
 I've got my finger on the trigger
                               G
 Tonight faith just ain't enough
                         D         A7sus4                   
 And I look inside my heart
                            D and Dsus
 There's just devils and dust

                           G 
 But I've got God on our side
                           Dsus2/G#
 And I'm just trying to survive
                           Em7
 But if what you do to survive
                        A7sus4
 Kills the things you love
                       G
 Fear's a dangerous thing
                                  Dsus2/G#
 Turn your heart black you can trust
                        G         A7sus4
 Take your God filled soul
                           D and Dsus
 Fill it with devils and dust
                              G        A7sus4
 It'll take your God filled soul

 Fill it with devils and dust

Devils & Dust

Gm              Bb
I had a job, I had a girl
                F
I had something going mister in this world
           Gm                        Bb
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
                 F
Our love went bad, times got hard
             Eb          F
Now I work down at the carwash
                          Gm
Where all it ever does is rain
            Eb                 F           Gm  Eb   F
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

                Gm          Bb
She just said "Joe I gotta go
             F
We had it once we ain't got it any more"
                 Gm              Bb
She packed her bags left me behind
              F
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
              Eb                          F
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
                                Gm
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
         Eb             F           Gm  Eb   F
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train

| Eb7 | F | F | Gm | Eb | F | Gm | F |

        Gm               Bb
Last night I heard your voice
               F 
You were crying you were so alone
               Gm             Bb
You said your love had never died
          F
You were waiting for me at home
           Gm                        Bb
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
                  F
I ran till I thought my chest would explode
                 Gm                  Bb
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
          F
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
                       Gm                        Bb
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
                    F
My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
               Gm                Bb
The room was dark, our bed was empty
         F
Then I heard that long whistle whine
         Eb                                 Bb
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried

               Eb                          F
Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
                                               Gm
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
              Eb                 F            Gm  Eb  F
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

I was trying to find a way home,
    Em           C     D/F#
but all i heard was a drone.
 Em             C          G        D/F#
Bouncin' off a satellite 
             Em          C      D/F#
crushing the last long American night.


                  Em     C      G      D/F#

      Em                C          G      D/F#
I was sitting around a dirt dial
       Em          C          D/F#
Just another lost number in a file.
 Em                 C           G        D/F#
Been in some kinda dark cove
      Em              C              D/F#

I want a thousand guitars.

	  This is radio nowhere.
          Em           C     G        D/F#        
	  Is there anybody alive out there?
	  Em           C     G        D/F#        
	  Is there anybody alive out there?

       Em                  C            G       D/F#
I was driving through the misty rain 
       Em              C       D/F#
Yeah, searching for a mystery train. 
 Em                  C           G        D/F#
Bopping through the wild blue,
 Em                C           D/F#
Trying to make connection with you.

Old Dan Tucker was a fine old man

Washed his face with a fryin' pan

Combed his hair with a wagon wheel

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
            Bb
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
       Gm
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
             Bb
Outside the Seven-Eleven store
           F
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
            Bb
And he rides with me from town to town
        Gm
We only run for the money got no strings attached
            Bb
We shut `em up and then we shut `em down

C7       F
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
         Bb
I wanna blow `em off in my first heat
Gm
Summer's here and the time is right
     Bb
For racin' in the street

   F
We take all the action we can meet
        Bb
And we cover all the northeast state
           Gm
When the strip shuts down we run `em in the street
          Bb
From the fire roads to the interstate
     F
Now some guys they just give up living
           Bb
And start dying little by little piece by piece
                Gm
Some guys come home from work and wash up
         Bb
Then go racin' in the street

C7      F
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
         Bb
I wanna blow `em all out of their seats
Gm
Calling out around the world
             Bb
We're going racin' in the street

       F
I met her on the strip three years ago
     Bb
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
  Gm
I blew that Camaro off my back 
     Bb
And drove that little girl away
         F
But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
          Bb
And she cries herself to sleep at night
            Gm
When I come home the house is dark
           Bb
She sighs "Baby did you make it all right"
    F
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
    Bb
But all her pretty dreams are torn
     Gm
She stares off alone into the night
          Bb
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
            F
For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels 
   Bb
Rumbling through this promised land
    Gm
Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
     Bb
And wash these sins off our hands

C7       F
Tonight, tonight the highway's bright
     Bb
Out of our way mister you best keep
        Gm
`Cause summer's here and the time is right
             Bb
We're goin' racin' in the street

C                                        Fmaj7
She'll let you in her house, if you come knockin' late at night,
Am7                                 Fmaj7                    Dm7
She'll let you in her mouth, if the words you say are right,
C                     Fmaj7
If you pay the price, she'll let you deep inside,
Fmaj7     Am7    C\G G7sus4  C
There's a secret garden she hides,

Fmaj7 Am7 C/G C

C                          Fmaj7
She'll let you in her car, to go drivin' around,
Am7                                   Fmaj7
She'll let you into parts of herself, that'll bring you down,
C                                   Fmaj7                    Dm7
She'll let you in her heart, if you got a hammer and a vice,
Fmaj7   Am7    C/G G7sus           C
But her secret garden, don't think twice,
Am7           Fmaj7          C             G
You've gone a million miles, how far'd you get,
Am7                     Fmaj7           C             G
To that place where you can't remember, and you can't forget,

Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7

C                                     Fmaj7
She'll lead you down a path, there'll be tenderness in the air,
Am7                                  Fmaj7
She'll let you come just far enough, so you know she's really there,
C                             Fmaj7
She'll look at you and smile, and her eyes will say,
Am7                        Fmaj7
She's got a secret garden, where everything you want,
C
Where everything you need,
Fmaj7            Am7        C/G G7sus C
will always stay, a million   miles  away.

Secret Garden

Intro:  F    Am    

     F
I was  bruised and battered I couldn't tell what I felt
     Am
I was  unrecognizable to myself
      F
saw my  reflection in a window and didn't know my own face
          Am
oh brother  are you gonna leave me wasting like this on the
                  Bb                  F      C
streets of Philadelphia

        F
I walked  the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone
       Am
I heard  voices of friends vanished and gone
          F
At night I  hear the blood in my veins
       Am
just as  black and whispery as the rain on the
                   Bb            F     C
streets of Philadelphia


   Bb                                  Dm
   Ain't no angel gonna greet me
 Bb                                    F
   It's just you and I my friend
 Am                                  Bb                          C
   and my clothes don't fit me no more   I walked a

   thousand miles just to slip this skin


F
The night is falling, I'm lying awake
     Am
I can  feel my self fading away
    F
so receive me brother with your fateless kiss or
       Am
will we  leave each other alone like this on the
             Bb                        F     C
streets of Philadelphia...

The Wrestler

Working On A Dream

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

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

       A                Em                                             A
       Me for a ride... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away


        G     D         A    G  D          A
Chorus:  Down by the ri-ver,  I shot my ba-by

 Em        A
 Ooh, Ooh, shot her dead


Verse 2:You take my hand I'll take your hand, together we may get away,

        This must madness is too much sorrow, its impossible to make it

        today... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away


(Chorus)

I know these roof top nights could last forever.
              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

D                       A
Right now is all we have you better make this count

    Em    A

D                             A                             Bm

I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

American Dream 

[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

[chorus]

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)


A                       E
when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
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

[chorus]

E D                 A

Overreacting

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

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.
