G                         Em
When the streetlights come on,
                              Am
the pooling light is leveed aside
                   C                       Em
And pressed in twilight against our two rooms.
                Cmaj7
I'll see you tonight.
                  G                    Em
The pavement is aching, cicadas are crying,
                 Am                                  C
the wine-colored air breathing thoughts through your hair,
            Em               Cmaj7
breezing to me, leading me there...

[Chorus]
Em       C             G       Cmaj7
I come alive as the shadows parade.
Em              C              G             Cmaj7
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves.
Em              C            G     Cmaj7               Cmaj7
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say.

 - Same progression continues through song. -

[Verse]
And I find you, twilit beyond all the cars.
In driveways they sleep, but streetlights will keep watch over me.
They flickers like stars.
And now the secrets carefully kept inside run the streets red,
Our chemicals spread, washing us through, making you mine...

[Chorus]
I come alive as the shadows parade.
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves.
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say.
[Break]

[Verse]
Now therea re no words, only the glow in our wires.
And so we will be, you turn slow to me...
Our lips set the sun... (I'll never leave you...)
The hills are on fire... Oh...

[Chorus]
I come alive as the shadows parade.
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves.
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say.

Intro - x2 -: Am       E        C       G

             Am                                             Dm
I'll tell it like it happened, it was Darius and Noland and me,
        E                                          Am         
Just a few po' boys trying to get up out of Missouri.
         Am                                            Dm
Took 55 to Louisiana, stopped down by the highway to eat.
          E                                 Am                     
They both had crawfish. Strictly chicken for me.


           Am                                        Dm
Back out under thunderheads, the radio was Southern soul.
           Am                                            C
They interrupted Clarence Carter with a strange-ass local show.
          E
They were sayin'...


       Am             E
"Come down to Lake Pontchartrain.
       C                  G
Rest your soul and feed your brain.
       Am               E               
That's where you will get to see
       C           G    Am
Everything the water can be."
 
 
            Am                                                  Dm
The rain was comin' down, the wind was howlin' outside of Slidell.
            E                                                 Am
It was the kind of night that makes you think the whole world's goin' 
to hell. 
          Am                                                  Dm
We got off on an exit 'cause we couldn't read the map so great.
          E                                   Am
Near the Choctaw Motel, we parked to deliberate,
          Am                                             Dm
When out of the bayou came a man like the lake had a tongue.
           E                                                Am
He was right up on the glass, all yellow-eyed, black teeth, bangin' 
on the windshield,
                                             E
Screamin' like a demon at the top of his lungs,
 

     Am                    E
"Come down to Lake Pontchartrain.
      C                   G
Rest your soul and feed your brain.
       Am                 E
Free for you and all your friends.
      C                G
Crawfish 'til the bitter end.
       Am               E
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain.
     C                 G
Wade to where the shallows break.
       Am                E
That's where you will get to see
      C             G     Am
Everything the water can be."

 
                                                  Dm
I was drivin' out of there as fast as a Camry could,
                   E                                            Am
But the interstate was flooded, so I had to take the road through 
the woods.
         Am                                           Dm
Bad move in retrospect; the road disappeared in the rain,
           E
And I stood on the brakes when I saw the sign:
         E
"Lake Pontchartrain..."

 
           Am
Darius was yelling that he saw somebody out in the swells;
                                           E
He jumped out, runnin', and Noland was goin' as well.
          Am                                     Dm
"Come back!" Why the hell would they leave the car?
           E                       E
And that's when I heard it, make no mistake -
            E                         E
The voices were calling them from under the lake...
 
 
"Come down to Lake Pontchartrain...   
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain...
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain...
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain..."
 

           Am                             Dm
The crawfish were screaming, the waves danced in time.
           E                                Am
My friends went in deeper; the water, it climbed.
           Am                   Dm
I watched in terror; the lake opened wide,
           E                        Am
And horribly roaring, it pulled them inside.
          Am                      Dm
That's how it happened! Why would I lie?
           E                      Am
There were no bodies, I've got none to hide.
         Dm                          Am
I'm just a poor boy, lost his friends in the rain.
         E                                          Am
Any more questions, just go and ask Lake Pontchartrain.
 

Outro: Am     G          C    Am

Lake Pontchartrain

Tim Ferrell wrote this song after their band had a traumatic van breakdown on the side of the road in Topeka, KS. Apparently, one of the members of the band prayed to a random woman as his god and he asked her, &quot;Whats wrong with our van?&quot;, and apparently she responded by saying, &quot;It's the catalytic converter.&quot; Ferrel had gone through mental training to help him through it. &quot;I had been trying to maintain a positive outlook,&quot; he says, &quot;Of all the times we had a mini-catastrophe, I didn't lose my head over it.

Bm 		      Em
"I found God in a catalytic converter
    G# 		F#     Em
In Topeka on a Monday night.
Bm	            Em
I taste blood every time I think of summer
	  G#                F#      Em
If that's true, I'm in for quite a treat.

	  Bm 		      	Em
'Cos I'm begging for the sun in a mid-Missouri winter,
         G# 		F#        Em
Waiting desperately to get out of town.
         G# 		F#    Em
No, you can't keep a good man down.


Bm 		      Em
You've been known to obsess over the future
    G# 			F# 	     Em
Do you think you'll get away from the past?
	Bm 		      Em
As you starve yourself just to make it through 'til midnight
G# 			F# 	     E7
Consider what you might have found.
    G# 			F# 	  E7
You think you've got a good thing now.


I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night.
Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future
So you know it keeps me hanging around.
No, you can't keep a good man down.

From here on you can count on all things going
The way they must have from the start.
All you feel is the current flowing through you
And seizing your infected heart.

I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night.
I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night..---
Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future,
Saint has a past, every sinner has a future,
Saint has a past, every sinner has a future,
Saint has a past, every sinner has a future,
Sinner has a future...

Topeka

Gushing for gold,

You suck so passionately
         Dm                        A
You're a parasitic, psycho, filthy creature 
                  Bb
finger-bangin' my heart

You call me up drunk

My ancestors planted some sequoias by a road
     Am                                C
I've driven down that road since I was born
   F                           C
Oh never have you ever seen so many perfect evergreens
Am                    G                 C
But I would chop them all down just for you


C                
I have walked a million miles in a hundred pairs of shoes
   Am                       C
In search of some universal truth
F                                C
Well a deity just came to me and handed me a scroll to read
Am                G             C
And I will gladly pass it on to you


Am  G  F
Oh, Oh, Anything for you
Am  G  F
Oh, Oh, All of this is true
Am      G               C            F
But the best story that I could ever tell
       Am             G                C
Is the one where I am growing old with you


C        
I was having rotten luck and nothing went my way
      Am                            C
Til I stumbled on a clearing in the woods
  F                               C
I found a town of leprechauns and grabbed each one for wishing on
Am                   G               C
But I would let them all go just for you


C
I have crossed a natural plane and communed with the dead
    Am                              C
But people always seem to want some proof
       F                                 C
No one even would believe, my love, that evil I got pictures of
Am                     G                C
But I would throw them all out just for you

Am  G  F
Oh, Oh, Anything for you
Am  G  F
Oh, Oh, All of this is true
Am      G               C            F
But the best story that I could ever tell
       Am             G                C
Is the one where I am growing old with you






C   
My scar is from a polar bear, my curse is from a witch
              Am                           C
I've caught a giant squid in all the seven seas
     F                                  C
I've picked up rocks from distant moons astronomers will discover soon
Am                    G                 C
But I would give them all back just for you


C
I've gotten drunk and shot the breeze with kings of far off lands
     Am                                 C
They showed me wealth as far as I could see
          F                                C
But their kingdoms seemed all shrively and they cried with jealousy
Am                   G               C
When I leaned in and told them about you



Am G F
(I'd give up anything)
Anything for you

Am G F
(I'd give it all)
All of this is true

Am      G               C            F
But the best story that I could ever tell
       Am             G                C
Is the one where I am growing old with you


Am            G           C               F
All I've ever wanted see, was to tell you honestly

Am        G            C
   I'd do anything for you

       Am         G            C
I'd do absolutely anything for you

        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
running through the night but
              Dm                Am

You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Your asking what I found

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A

I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long

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
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A

We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change

We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                   A
(We don't even know, know, know, know, know)




[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

(Think that we'd be alright)

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine


[Chorus]

 N.C.                     D
(Oh)Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                  A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why

Crash Years

Intro  D     Bm7   G     A     x2


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
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
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


Interlude   D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
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


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
           Bm7                   F#                G                    A
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
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith
 
          D                        D7
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
         Bm7 A    Bm7 A       Bm7 A       G                      G   
Don't be fallin', fallin' in, fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Situations

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.
