          C              G              C         F
I've been staying up and drinking in a late night establishment

It doesn't seem so worth it right now

They want to feel the bulges in their pants start to rise

At the site of a beautiful woman they feel nothing but
C                                            G
Anger, her skin makes them sick in the night nauseaous, nauseaous, nauseaous

Summer in the city, I'm so lonely lonely lonely

      C            G               C             F
And I tap on their shoulder and they turn around smiling
           C                       G
But there's no recognition in their eyes

C                           F      
Oh summer in the city means cleavage cleavage cleavage
C                                                        G
And don't get me wrong, dear, in general I'm doing quite fine
                    C             G               C                      F
It's just when it's summer in the city, and you're so long gone from the city

I start to miss you, baby, sometimes

Will never be my fool


verse 2, same as verse 1

Floaters in my eyes
Wake up in an hotel room
Cigarettes and lies
I am a child, it's too soon

I have dreams of orca whales and owls
But I wake up in fear
You will never be my
You will never be my fool
Will never be my fool

A little bag of cocaine

A little bag of cocaine
G                           D
So who's the girl wearing my dress
D
I figured out her number
C
Inside a paper napkin
G                    D
But I don't know her address I wade downstairs


same as verse 1
The porter smiles to me a smile
I've bought
With a couple of gold coins
A sign that I've been caught

Chorus
I have dreams of orca whales and owls
But I wake up in fear
You will never be my
You will never be my dear
Will never be my dear, dear friend
Dear dear friend, dear dear friend...

A little bag of cocaine
A little bag of cocaine
So who's the girl wearing my dress
I figured out her number
Inside a paper napkin
But I don't know her address

Come in, come in
Come into my world I've got to show
Show show you
Come into my bed
I've got to know
Know know you

I have dreams of orca whales and owls
But I wake up in fear
You will never be my
You will never be my dear
Will never be my dear, dear friend
Dear dear friend, dear dear friend...

Hotel Song

G           C              G
I wish I'd see a field below
G           C                G
i wish I'd hear a rooster crow
D                C             Bm       Am    
But there are none who live downtown
G             C             G
And so the day starts out so slow
D           C           G
Again the sun was never called
Am             C               D
And darkness spreads over the snow
               C            Am
Like an-cient bru---------ises
D         C             D
I'm awake and feel the ache

       G          C            G
But I wish I'd see a field below
G            C             G
I wish I'd see a field below



G             C              G
I wish I'd see your face below
G             C              G
I wish I'd hear you whispering low
D             C               Bm    
But you don't live downtown no more
Em        D                  C  Am 
And everything must come and go


D          C              G
Again the sun was never called
    Am         C               D
And darkness spreads over the snow
              C              Am
Like an-cient bru----------ises
D           C          Bm           
I'm awake and feel the ache
Em            D         C  Am
I'm awake and feel the ache


G             C               G
But I wish I'd see a field below
But I wish I'd see a field below
I'm awake and feel the ache
But I wish I'd see a field below
I'm awake and feel the ache
But I wish I'd see a field below
I wish I'd see a field below
I wish I'd see a field below

VERSE 1
C
This is how it works
G
It feels a little worse
Am
Than when we drove our hearse
F
Right through that screaming crowd
C
While laughing up a storm
G
Until we were just bone
Am
Until it got so warm
F
That none of us could sleep

And all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay

But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees

While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again

CHORUS
C
On the radio
G
We heard November Rain
Am
That solo's really long [awful long]
F
But it's a pretty song [a good refrain]

C
We listened to it twice
G
'Cause the DJ was asleep

Riff 1

VERSE 2 [C G Am F...]

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't

You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took

And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood

And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

Some days aren't yours at all
     G/B      Am7                      F         C
They come and go as if they're someone else's days
     G/B      Am7                           F
They come and leave you behind with someone else's face
C                       G
  And it's harsher than yours
                G/F     G
And colder than yours

     F9                       Csus4/G                C

By your side

I'm in love with your daughter

  I wanna have her baby
C                               F9    Csus4/G

Some days aren't  yours at all
     G/B      Am7                      F           C
They come and go as if they're someone else's days
     G/B      Am7                           F      C
They come and leave you behind with someone else's face

And it's harsher than yours

Somedays

Soviet Kitsch 

Am                  Em
   No one laughs at God in a hospital
D                                   G
   No one laughs at God in a war
          Em
No one?s laughing at God
              Bm                     C/G
When they?re starving or freezing or so very poor


Am               Em
No one laughs at God when the doctor calls
D                    G
After some routine tests
            Em
No one?s laughing at God
            Bm
when it?s gotten real late
           C/G
And their kid?s not back from that party yet


Am               Em
No one laughs at God when their airplane
D                          G
Starts to uncontrollably shake
            Em
No one?s laughing at God
           Bm                           C/G
When they see the one they love hand in hand

with someone else and they hope that they?re mistaken


Am               Em
No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door
D                             G
And they say ?eWe?ve got some bad news, sir,?
            Em
No one?s laughing at God
                 Bm             C/G
When there?s a famine, fire or flood


Chorus

              Am   Em
But God can be funny
                D                             G
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
              Em
Or when the crazies say He hates us
        C/G                                        D
And they get so red in the head you think they?re ?bout to choke
           Am  Em
God can be funny,
                         D                           G
When told he?ll give you money if you just pray the right way
         Em                               C/G
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
            D
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
    D
God can be so hilarious
   Am    Em    D  G
Ha ha
   Am    Em    D  G
Ha ha

Am               Em
No one laughs at God in a hospital
D                          G
No one laughs at God in a war
          Em
No one?s laughing at God
              Bm
when they?ve lost all they got
          C/G
And they don?t know what for

Am                Em
No one laughs at God on the day they realize
D                                         G
that the last sight they?ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
           Em
No one?s laughing at God
              C/G
When they?re saying their goodbyes


Chorus

              Am          Em
But God can be fuuuuuunny
                D                             G
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
              Em
Or when the crazies say He hates us
        C/G                                        D
And they get so red in the head you think they?re ?bout to choke
           Am            Em
God can be fuuuuuunny,

               Bm                        C/G

No one?s laughing at God

No one's laughing at God

No one's laughing at God
                    G
We?re all laughing with God

Some said the local lake had been enchanted
D                                  G
Others said it must have been the weather
Em                                  Am
The neighbors were trying to keep it quiet
D                                  G
But I swear that I could hear the laughter
Em                                Am      
So they jokingly nicknamed it the porridge
D                                                G
'cause overnight that lake had turned to thick as butter
 Em                               Am         Am
But the local kids would still go swimming, drinking
D                             G
Saying hat to them it doesn't matter

            Am           C
If you just hold in your breath
        D              G
Til you come back up in full
Am           C
Hold in your breath
         D                         G
'til you thought it through, you, fool

Bb                Dm
A man of a thousand faces
Bb               Dm
Sits down at the table
Gm                   Bb
Eats a small lump of sugar
    Gm                         Bb
And smiles at the moon like he knows her
Dm                       Bb
   And begins his quiet ascension
Dm                             Bb
   Without anyone's sturdy instruction
F                    Bb-F
 To a place of no religion
Gm
  Has found a path to our alikeness

Bb                        Dm
  His words are quiet like stains are
Bb                             Dm
  On a table cloth washed in a river
F                         Bb  F            Bb  F
Stains that are trying to cover, for each other
Gm
  Or at least blend in with the pattern

Bb                    Dm
  Good is better than perfect
Bb                          Dm
  Scrub til your fingers are bleeding
Gm                   Bb         
  And I'm crying for things that 
Gm                            Bb
  I tell others to do without crying

Dm                              Bb
  He used to go to his favorite bookstores
Dm                         Bb
  And rip out his favorite pages
Gm                              Bb
  And stuff them into his breast pocket
Gm                          Bb
  And the moon to him was a stranger
Dm                        Bb
  Now he sits down at the table
Dm                  Bb
  Right next to the window
Gm                     Bb
  And begins his quiet ascension
Gm                        Bb
  Without anyone's sturdy instruction
Gm                 Bb
  To a place of no religion
Gm                         Bb
  Has found a path to our alikeness
Gm                        Bb
  And eats a small lump of sugar
Gm                               C
  And smiles at the moon like he knows her

Man Of A Thousand Faces

Am
Your stitches are all out

         D
But your scars are healing wrong

    Am                         D
The helium balloon inside your room has come undone

         C                 G
And it's pushing up at the ceiling

        Am                   E                          
And the flickering lights it cannot get beyond 



Am              C
Everyone takes turns

         D                 D
Now it's yours to play the part

            Am           C
And they're sitting all around you

        D               D
Holding copies of your chart

        C       G
And the misery inside their eyes is

Am               E                            
Synchronized and reflecting into yours



C     E
Hold on!

Am                 F
One more time with feeling

C        E     Am                F
Try it again, breathing's just a rhythm

C             E           Am                      F
Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right

Dm       F     Dm    F
This is why we fight

One More Time With Feeling

C
You went into the kitchen cupboard
Got yourself another hour
        F
And you gave
              Am
Half of it to me
             C
We sat there looking at the faces
Of these strangers in the pages
F                            Am
'Til we knew 'em mathematically

                 Dm
They were in our minds
      F
Until forever
              Dm
But we didn't mind
               G
We didn't know better

      C
So we made our own computer out of macaroni pieces
        F                                  Am
And it did our thinking while we lived our lives
   C
It counted up our feelings
And divided them up even
       F                               Am
And it called that calculation perfect love

            Dm                 F
Didn't even know that love was bigger
            Dm
Didn't even know
              G
That love was so, so
Hey Hey Hey

         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C          F
Burnin' us up
         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C
Burnin' us..
Dm
Up

Bb
Ohhhhh
F
Ohh Ohh Ohh

      C
So we made the hard decision
And we each made an incision
         F
Past our muscles and our bones
        Am
Saw our hearts were little stones
           C
Pulled 'em out they weren't beating

And we weren't even bleeding
      F                             Am
As we lay 'em on the granite counter top

            Dm
We beat 'em up
             F
Against each other
            Dm
We beat 'em up
             F
Against each other
              Dm
We struck 'em hard
             F
Against each other
              Dm
We struck 'em so hard
                   C
So hard until they sparked

         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C          F
Burnin' us up
         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C          F
Burnin' us up
         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C
Burnin' us..

And stumbling through the street, they say, "Sir, do you got a light?" and

If you do, then you're my friend, and

Down in Lexington, they're waiting, new shoes stuck to aging feet, and
C                      F               C         G
Close their eyes and open, and not recognize the aging street, and

Think about how things were right when
C                     G
They were young and veins were tight, and

C              F                 C          G
Frozen noses, frozen toes, the frozen city starts to glow, and
C                     F
Yes, they know that it'll melt, and
C                    G
Yes, they know New York'll thaw, but

What We Saw From The Cheap Seats 

Am
The animals, the animals
G                                   Am
Trapped, trapped, trapped 'till the cage is full
Am
The cage is full, Stay awake
G            Am
In the dark, count mistakes
Am
The light was off but now it's on
G                          Am
Searching the ground for a bitter song
Am
The sun is out, the day is new
G
And everyone is waiting, waiting on you


Dm    C   Em   Dm  Am
And you've got time  
Dm    C   Em   Dm  Am
And you've got time  

F                C
Think of all the roads
F                  C
Think of all their crossings
F               C
Taking steps is easy
F        C        Am
Standing still is hard
F                  C
Remember all their faces
F                  C
Remember all their voices
F             C
Everything is different
F          C    Am
The second time around


F Em Dm C Am

You've Got Time


C 
What you got on top, I'll take two of that 
Am
I'm chasing a story I heard
C
When I was here last, at the back of the class
Am
You pretended you never got lost
F
You're at the back of the class, in the back of the bus
Dm
Sitting out at the dance, so we're saying "no, thanks"
F
When they see you around, you look down at the ground 
Dm                                         C
But when they walk away you'd wish they'd stay

Never never mind your bleeding heart

# Verse

C
You can't help but stare at everyone there
Am
It's you versus everyone else
C
Your outfit's a crime, you feel their cold minds
Am
Placing you under arrest
F
And you serve your time drinking all night long
Dm
Staring at the walls of your jail-like home
F
Listening to that song, cause it hurts just right
Dm                     C
Till everything is gone tonight

# Verse

C
Someday you'll grow up and then you'll forget
Am
All of the pain you endured
C
Until you walk by, a sad pair of eyes
Am
And up will come back all the hurt
F
And you'll see their pain as they look away
Dm 
And you want to help, but there's just no way 
F
Cause you won the war so it's not your turn 
Dm                            C
But everything inside still burns

Never mind your bleeding heart

How long must I wait till you learn that it's not too late

Baby really hurt me
                Am 
crying in the taxi
                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm
says you make the big mistake of dancing in my store 
Gm                  C
   Says it was poison

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

    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#

                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

Liability

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around

                                                     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

But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice

I have cold blood even in a sweater

Somehow we end up on the same side

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


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
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

Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Come Together

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.
