You see it in the classroom, in the swimming pool, where the matchstick men are made
       G                  Am                  Bm                C         
In the scouts hall, at the football, where the wise we trust are paid
                  G                         Am  
They all honur his name, he did alot for the game

He got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
              G                  Am                           Bm

Verse 4

Away in the schoolyard, change room, playing fields bathroom
G           Am             Bm             C
Phonebox, office box, every corner turned around,

They keep doubting the flame, tossing the blame,

A Thousand Trees

We all face the same way
Am
Still it takes all day
Fmaj7
I take a look to my left
C
Pick out the worst and the best
C
She paints her lip
Am
Greasy and thick
Fmaj7
Another mirror stare
Dsus2 C
And she's going where? 

Verse 2:
Another office affair
To kill an unborn scare
You talk dirty to a priest
It makes you human at least
But is she running away
To start a brand new day
Or she's going home
Why's she driving alone 

Chorus:
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C 
Is anyone going anywhere?
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C Am Fmaj7 C
Everyone's gotta be somewhere 

Verse 3:
She got a body in the boot
Or just bags full of food 
Those are models legs
But are they womens are they mens
She shouts down the phone 
Missed a payment on the loan
She gotta be above the rest
Keeping up with the best 

Chorus:
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C 
Is anyone going anywhere?
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C Am Fmaj7 C
Everyone's gotta be somewhere 

Verse 4:
Waits tables for a crook
Wrote a hard back book
You teach kids how to read
Or sell your body on the street
A nurse without a job
Another uptown snob
But have I got you all wrong
I blinked and you were gone 

Chorus:
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C 
Is anyone going anywhere?
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C 
Is anyone going anywhere?
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C 
Is anyone going anywhere?

Everyone's gotta be.....somewhere

A week's too long not to ring,

Colours her hair and waits for him,
                                    D#m7
Not cat against dog just head over heels,
                                 E 
Sex twice a day, best time in years,
               D#m7
Oh no, why hasn't he phoned?
E                    D#m7
She has to wait until he's on his own,
E                      D#m7
lying and denying til nobody knows,

Cream cakes, coffee dates, floral gifts, goodbye,

Passed away, for the day, had a change of kind,

Maybe, it wasn't really his name,

Same colour, same weight, same size feet,

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.

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#

So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please

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

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.
