intro: Am G D

Am         G    D
  You were seventeen the year your father died

Am           G     D
  And he was fifty-three when you were seventeen

Am       G      D
  In the museum where you laid your head to sleep

Am        G                  D
  The artifacts were cold to comfort you


Am        G                  D
When you heard them fighting you hid in the apple tree

Am        G                  D
The branches broke their noise

Am        G                  D
And when your brother studied at the university

Am        G                  D
You were left alone to realize


Dm
That while you were growing older

Em
He was busy growing older 

Am           G                   D
too, bah dah dum, da dah dah dah dum

Am           G                   D
too, bah dah dum, da dah dah dah dum


Am        G                  D
In the summer when your father drove you to the river

Am        G                  D
And he would sing so loud

Am        G                  D
Soon to be kept silent when you climbed through barbed-wired fences

Am        G                  D
To get to the riverside


Dm
And while you were growing older

Em
He was busy growing older 

Am           G                   D
too, bah dah dum, da dah dah dah dum

Am           G                   D
too, bah dah dum, da dah dah dah dum


Am        G                  D
And in February you were running late one day

Am        G                  D
And out the door you ran

Am        G                  D
Leaving left unsaid the things you?d soon regret not telling

Am        G                  D
Never knowing this would be your last chance


Dm
And while you were growing older

Em
He was busy growing older 



Am            Dm      G  Dm        G
   And was it fair to    blame the gi-  

Am             Dm      G  Dm       G
rl, And was it fair to    make the child

Am                   Dm         G      Dm   G
choose, And when you stood next to the moun-ta-

Am           Dm                   G        Dm      G
in,  Did you swear that you could hear him calling you?

Am            G                   D
      bah dah dum, da dah dah dah dum

Am            G                   D
      bah dah dum, da dah dah dah dum


Am        G                  D
I am twenty-two and you are fifty-three

Am        G                  D
And only blood can tell

Am        G                  D
That we are made up of strings and strands of DNA

Am        G                  D
Dancing waltzes in our cells


Dm
and while you are growing older

Em
i am busy growing older 

Am           G                   D
too, bah dah dum, da dah dah dah dum

Am           G                   D

Two Bedroom Apartment

The song is just C-Em over and over again
C                                                  Em
born in the wrong body he waits
C                                               Em
born in the wrong body he ties his shoes before he goes to work
C                                                Em
born in the wrong body he straightens his tie after his lunch break
C                                                 Em
born in the wrong body he's felt this way sense second grade
oh...

( And it continues as so..)

born in the wrong body he stalls
born in the wrong body he races to change before they open the door
born in the wrong body he screams out inside his own throat
born in the wrong body he's wearing women's underwear under that trench coat

it feels good
and that's alright
but things that i take for granted
he wish he's for in the middle deep, dark night
in the spring flowers turn their leaves

when we're born doctors seperate our tummies from our mothers,
and from that point on, it's not the same

born in the wrong body he swerves
born in the wrong body he bleeds the blood of the man he never was
born in the wrong body he seems exposed he never came to be
born in the wrong body he dies

wishing he were more like me
and in the fall 
the kids come back to school 
appropriatly dressed if it gets too cold
the girls are pretty in their pink, and the boys in blue

born in the wrong body and there's nothing left for him to do

the grocery list reads milk and eggs
paper towels and longer legs
broader hips and softer lips and
smooth, smooth, smooth, and smoother skin

the grocery list reads truth untold
high heels and hair of marigold
margerine and estrogen and
smooth, smooth, smooth, and smoother skin

one loaf of bread, 
and don't forget the lightbulbs
these things i wish i was made of
milk and eggs and paper towels and pop-tarts

born in the wrong body he sighs
born in the wrong body he longs for slender shoulders and hairless thighs
born in the wrong body he settles as he hesitates for the life he chose
born in the wrong body and noone knows

Born In The Wrong Body

           G           Em               G              Em
When I see you sitting in the restaurant
                              G
Counting complex carbohydrates
Em                                      G                     Em
I will wonder where it was I knew you from
                             G                Em
And I will give you my regards
                       G         Em
When you turn to go
                             G
And in these final parting phrases 
         Em                                 G                                   D6
I will overanalyze the way your eyes move slower than before

Em   Am7    D6 
Em
            G           Em                           G
Winter morning in the parking lot of my apartment complex
Em                          G
I will be the first to force eye contact
Em                                                             G
These dashing, darting deer-in-headlight looks
                    D6
Are growing tired

Em     Am7      D6

Esus2                             D6
From time to time when I am feeling troubled
         Esus2                          D6
I will unfold all these letters from old friends and lovers
               Esus2                                           D6
Thinking fondly of the of the long agos, of penmanship and perfect strokes
Esus2
And even though I say these notes 
D6                                            Em          G
I won't pretend I know you any more

Em    G      Em

            G             Em
Held in hallways
            G             Em
Cutting corridors
                               G                 Em
We will speak these warm words
                          G
Half empty, half full

Goodbye Frankie
More of a lady than I will ever be
So come lay your blanket by the furnace
And I'll tell you stories
Something warm, smooth, and sweet

Goodbye Frankie
If you leave take me
Oh Frankie,
Hot as a hashbrown and begging
You're something worth digging up
Once I've buried it

Francis, you know the right things to say
When you're stuck like mud in 
An awful situation and dressing for parties
You're daft as a debutant
And I'm hoping soon that something is
Bound to rub off

And someday I wear sensible shoes
And learn to tell the right stories to
Impress the friends and parents of my boyfriend
But until then there's you

Goodbye Frankie
You know your rights from your wrongs
And I'm trying to see the line drawn
But I'm just human
And reaching too far to touch something new

Francis, you are an angel underneath
All that hair and those
Eyes that can't help but peak 
At the biggest cake on the bakery shelf
No ones gonna help you
So you've gotta, so you gotta help yourself

And someday I will know what it means to carry
Two of the same chromosome in my blood stream
The future looks far, but it looks so sweet
Wont you taste it with me?

Goodbye Frankie
You're such a lady
Oh Frankie,
If you leave take me
I'm begging
You're something worth digging up

Goodbye Frankie

Things People Do

           G                        C
when we're born we're wrapped up in blankets
                G                      C
and baptized in water and shown around town
      G                      C
its a good life just being a baby
              G                       C
looking up occasionally and cooing at strangers

        G                        C
when we live we are creatures of habit
            G                      C
setting the table and stocking the pantry
        G                           C
when we live we are high school bus drivers
                G                       C
and mothers and fighters and losers and fools

when our parents die we'll be young again

nobody's gonna check under my bed

the day my parents die

we're insured but we're not sure of nothing
              G                       C
tasting those memories of summer camp love
            G                       C     
and all the proverbs and fables and wise words
                  G                              C
couldn't teach us nothing cause we weren't gonna listen

             C  D     G           C  D  G

there's no sound quite like the empty house

on the day your parents die

testing the air for the last drip of knowledge
          G                          C
and as we grow we are soaked in frustration
        G                                C
only remembering we remembered something once

when our parents die we'll remember them

all the things we wished we would have said

When Our Parents Die

Like a King

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:

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

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:

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear

Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

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

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.
