Tilly and the Wall are an indie rock group which formed in Omaha, Nebraska, United States in 2001. The band consits of Derek Pressnall (vocals, guitar), his wife Jamie Pressnall (tap dancer), Neely Jenkins (vocals, bass), Kianna Alarid (vocals, recorder, bass) and Nick White (keyboards). The band has gained notoriety for having a tap dancer provide percussion instead of a drummer (although drums and drum machines are occasionally used on some of their recordings, and Pressnall is usually complemented by Alarid and Jenkins stomping on the floor).

Appartenant à la grande famille entourant Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes, label Saddle Creek), Tilly &amp; the Wall viennent du Nebraska. Formé en 2001, ce groupe n'a pas de batteur mais bien une danseuse de claquettes pour faire les percussions.   Ils sont présentement en préparation d'un nouvel album.

"Get into the groove boy you've got to prove your love to me."

G                                                    C
Played on the radio as we drove down south to see our families.

A                           D                        G
You were lying there in the passenger chair sound asleep.

G                                                       C
I could recall a time when the evenings were bright and thick with love,

G                                                      C
And all the city streets and their lights, they were so mysterious.

A                                    D               G
Oh life it was so wonderful it would shine oh like fire.

A                               D                           G
How we sat on the backs of our cars and laughed into the morning.



                      D      Em
Oh, I thought you'd come and go.

           D               Em
I never thought you would stay,

          Am        D                 G
And I'm sorry if I tried to push you away.



G                                                        C
Oh, the edges they fold and you suddenly find you are buried beneath

G                                           C
A blanket of snow you had no idea was even falling.

A                                      D            G
You're sitting on a couch inside your home feeling cold.

G                                                                  C
Oh and nothing's clear, all your thoughts they have become so hard to find.

G                                                         C
With a question mark always slumped at the end of these awkward lines.

A                                                D         G
All the simple words we loved to speak are no longer audible.

A                                             D      G
And I never thought with you and I this would be possible.



       E?              G7
I can feel the world coming apart,

       F              G               C
And I need you by my side with your delicate heart.

                  E?               G7
So please don't leave no don't you run.

           F                 G          Am        D
Don't be frightened by the storm oh so bold and brave.

              G
Just let it rain.



                      D      Em
Oh, I thought you'd come and go.

           D               Em
I never thought you would stay,

          Am        D                 G
And I'm sorry if I tried to push you away.

                      D      Em
Yeah, I thought you'd come and go.

           D               Em
I never thought you would stay,

          Am        D                 G
And I'm sorry if I tried to push you away.

Let It Rain

G

G
Well, I swear that you came in the form of rain
          C                                           D                     
That had frozen somewhere along it's way through the evening sky
        C                               G 
So the trees got tired and laid on the ground
G
I swear you marched in like big gusts of wind
     C
Oh, cutting through our clothes
         D
Such an easy attempt to convince us
          C                      G 
There is no reason we should be outside
          Am               C
When you speak, it's like fire
     Am          C         D 
The sparks leap from your mouth
              Am           C
And all your talk of such burdens
        Am                 C              D 
No, it won't bring me and all my friends down
         G
Well, I swear that you spilled into my room lsat night
     C                                   D
Oh, covering me in sheets so tight that I didn't move
        C                                G 
I just laid around until the early afternoon
G
So now we're at the bars hypnotized
                    C
And trying hard to keep the conversation going
                                   D               C
Trying hard to ignore the silence growing like it always does
                                G    
Yeah, I know, so we better get running
              Am                   C
And all your thoughts, they're so tired
      Am      C          D
Your bullets won't take aim
             Am             C
And oh your face, it's so stern now
       Am       C
No we won't be scared
       D
No we won't back down
         G
We will sing pretty songs about love
             C         
And we will fight if that's what it takes
        D
And we won't back down
       C                             G
No we won't shut our eyes and go to sleep
         G
We will write all over your walls
             C
And we will dance to no music at all
         D                   C              G
We will do what it takes to get through to you
             G
And we will sing pretty songs about love
             C         
And we will fight if that's what it takes
        D
And we won't back down
       C                             G
No we won't shut our eyes and go to sleep

Freest Man

Intro: C

Verse 1
C                F          Am  
Girl, I know the hall looks dark 
      Dm       Am       Em
& the storm it seems so scary 
     C                       F
Your face lit up on beats of lightning 
C              F     Am  
you start, you start running 
       Dm       Am   Em 
& your eyes are like screaming 
  C                              F
& since there is no end and no beginning 
C   
You will run 
G
You will run 
F
You will run 


Verse 2 (same chords as verse 1) :

Girl, I know the woods look dark 
& the trees they seem so deadly 
The girls around you are so frightened 
& you start, you start to panic 
and your courage starts to vanish
& the world, it really is on fire 
& it burns 
& it burns 
& it burns 
& it burns 

 
C   G        F                    C  G        F
vivian, your life is told through 19 thousand pages 
     C         G      F
in a world too unreal to behold 
     C   G         Am
Your innocence has faded 
F     C        G
Faded all your blues to gray 
     F        C               G
Your skin has bruised through moving days 
F       C       G
Glue is peeling back away 
F        C         Em  Am
Curling, cracking, painted 

Verse 3 (same chords as before)
Girl youve been rolled up in colorful carpets 

Your blood is rushing, look around you 

you're froze, you're frozen quiet 

& your eyes, they are widened 

Room unfurnished, no light for nightfall 

just rugs for rolling you up 

you know you can't get up 

when you do, you swear you willl run 

You will run 

You will run 

You will run 


C  G             F
No one will ever save you 
   C  G            F
If no one can ever find you 
C  G             F
No one will ever save you

(no guitar during this part)
I was kidnapped real young by the sweet taste of love
Built a fondness for things that just weren't good enough
I cradled the crow, always shooed off the dove
Which tagged me a naïve son


C
So the fortunate kids, yeah they left on their lights
         G                        F
And they stuck up their noses and started some fights
      C
Their parents all cackled at dirt on my hands
         F                      Fm
While my father was slaving, my mother explained it
Am                                        (wait a little bit then strum G real fast)
Sometimes that's just how it is


      C                                   
So my sister went kissing a maple-skinned boy
        G                       F
Finally held up her fists, said "I'm done being coy!"
        C                          G
And the neighbourhood boys started buzzing with joy
   F                      Fm
We finally had front-page news
  C                     
Although it was sad, I couldn't help but laugh
     G                      F
Such ridiculous hate in the hot summer sweat  
  C                        G
I laid on my back, let the punk record spin
    F                       Fm       
The stomping guitar, it was shooting out stars
   Am             G                F               Fm
It all went to my heart, yeah some rainbows in the dark


   C                      F
So I called up danger, my friends and some strangers
     C                         F
They stumbled and wavered, one called me his saviour
     C                           F
They slipped me the blood in the whole of the vial
    G                  F
But I didn't feel them change


Am, G   ---don't miss this little interlude here---
 

     C
Then I met a man with a fist for a hand
        G                          F
Held me flat on my back, taught me how to give in
     C                         G
Some phrases were shot, pretty roses got tossed
    F                    Fm
The gift of a fat-lipped grin
            C 
Now they're drilling my teeth while I'm soiling sheets
        G                         F
With my lover, she's counting the diamonds on rings
    C                       G
And even when truth doesn't help with the sting
F                       Fm
Out of no numbers, some harsh looking colour
    Am                          G
You pull them out, feel they're changed
   F                   Fm
No need for a thousand cranes


   C                     F
So I thank the city, the lights that it's spinning
    C                           F
The friends that I have and the shoes we?re not shining
    C                            F
The drunk horn?s so violent, all spinning out sounds
        G                        --- it sounds like there is no chord change here, but I am not sure ---
But the colour?s so vibrant , the colour?s so loud
    C                 F
The newly-born crying realizing what life is
       C                       F
In the eyes of my grandpa, the right people dying
    C                    F
The see-saw of love, its rickety bounce
    G                      -- again with no chord change?? --
The feeling of coming, the feeling of going
    D                      G
The mother, the child, the tame and the wild
    D                      G
The sleeping in minor, the gold leaf, the tire
    D                      G
The crooked, the straight, all the hip and the fake
        F                                          Fm
Oh, I'm finally feeling the stitching of beautiful seams
C                        F             G
Sometimes you just can't hold back the river
Sometimes you just can't hold back the river
Sometimes you just can't hold back the river
Sometimes you just can't hold back the river
F             G      F             G      F             G
Hold back the river, hold back the river, hold back the river

Am         F           C
  Yo solo sé decir de nada
        E7               Am
Por el mar, el cielo, el sol
                F            C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada
     E7                    C
Soy sólo un ordinario semi yo

[Estrofa 2]
C                                F  
Hey, ¿qué fortachón el cielo elevó?
                        A#
Cuando eras de esta altura, éste
C                  C
  Si la noche enfrió, 
                  F
¿quién fue quien fuego te llevó?
       A#          
¿Qué, alguien me nombró? 
C              C       F
  Oh, yo sólo lazo el sol
          A#                    C
De nada, para estirar tu diversión
          C       F
Brisa yo hago soplar, de nada, 
   A#           C
y así tus velas elevar

[Coro 2]
Am        F            C
  Yo sólo sé decir de nada, 
        E7                  Am
por las islas que traje del mar
              F                  C
No ruegues jamás, nunca más, de nada
         E7                     Am
¡Ha! Genial es mi manera de servir, 
    F
de nada, 
    C
de nada

[Parte Rap]
C
De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

[Coro 3]
Am          F              C
  Yo sólo puedo decir, de nada (de nada)
           E7              Am
Por el mundo especial que doy
                 F           C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)
    E7                     Am
De nada hablaré, que ya me voy
          F            C
Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)
       E7             Am
Pues quiero esa barca ya
             F          C
Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)
       E7               Am
Pues Maui nada sabe de nadar
              F                 C  F C
(De nada) De nada (De nada) de nada

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
