Holding On

G
We sing together out of key,

Although we try it seems we just can't find our harmony,
                               Cadd9
We just don't fit each others frequencies,
                      Em7
That makes you out of reach,
               Dsus4
And I am finally accepting that,

G
About you and me, it's plain to see,

We only ever want to stay inside and watch tv,
                         Cadd9
Because that's just as good a memory,
                 Em7
You're just good company,
         Dsus4
And I am finally accepting that,


Em7                                         G
Remember the time when we stole the whole day?
Em7                                 G
And nobody knows it, we took it away,
Cadd9                    G
And it will be forever mine,
Cadd9                   G
And it will be forever yours
Em7                               G
Now we own the night, and it can't be undone,
Em7                               G
We'll never forget how it feels to be young,
Cadd9                   G
Cos it will be forever mine,
Cadd9                   G
Cos it will be forever yours


G
Come on darlin' have some indecency,

You know there's nothing you could say that would embarrass me,
                            Cadd9
I heard a song tell me that talk is cheap,
                      Em7
But it's all you do with me,
        Dsus4
And I am finally accepting that,


G
It's just our routine,

We try and dream,

And buy the things we said we'd buy when we had more money,
                          Cadd9
All in the name of making memories,
                     Em7
That's what you want with me,
             Dsus4
And I am finally accepting that,


Em7                                         G
Remember the time when we stole the whole day?
Em7                                 G
And nobody knows it, we took it away,
Cadd9                    G
And it will be forever mine,
Cadd9                   G
And it will be forever yours
Em7                               G
Now we own the night, and it can't be undone,
Em7                               G
We'll never forget how it feels to be young,
Cadd9                   G
Cos it will be forever mine,
Cadd9                   G
Cos it will be forever yours


Cadd9
It would never work between us,
G
Never work between us,
Dsus4
And I'm glad we've got that straight

Em7                                         G
Remember the time when we stole the whole day?
Em7                                 G

And it will be forever mine,

And it will be forever yours
Em7                               G
Now we own the night, and it can't be undone,

Cos it will be forever yours


Cadd9               G
This will be forever mine


Cadd9                G
This will be forever yours


Em7             Cadd9   Dsus4     Cadd9    G
Now we own the night, and it can't be undone

Am          G             F        F G
I met this girl from the other side

 Am          G              F               F G
All kind of pale, dressed in black and white

 C           G                F
She's not the same, quite different 
    
        G        F   G     F    G
from any other girlfriend I've had
 
Am             G             F       F G 
It's, like, her touch, it's invisible

 Am         G               F       F G 
Can't get enough, she's sensatiable

  C        G           F            G
When she slips in my room, well I know

           F    G     F   G
I'm on a good thing, not bad


Pre-Chorus:

 D         A          E
When I'm alone she appears from no where

 D        A           E
it's so surreal, makes me feel like I wanna care


Chorus:

 D         A          E
I love it when she walks right through me

I wanna feel her cold touch on my skin

 D        A          E                     D A E
She doesn't mind if I can't see her tonight

Yeah I know I'm alright

...

 Am        G            F        F G
Her complexion, it's so timeless

 Am            G           F      F G
She's like a gothic lady princess

 C           G              F
I'd never thought that I'd be with 

   G            F       G     F   G
a supernatural kind of girl like her

 D        A          E
I ain't getting no sleep situation unique

 D        A          E
This girl she's so incredible

 D        A          E     
When she takes off her clothes    

          E             A     D       E
Yeah I know that it's only me that knows

Jack And Coke

C                                                      Am
A million and one thousand things are screaming in my head
                     Em
And I cant seem to forget
                         C
Cant stop thinking about you
                                                   Am
I could ride across the sky in a bicycle built for two
                           Em
Could you teach me how to ride
                                 F
Like you taught me how to feel alive



         C            Em              Am
Not a single day goes by when I dont wish for you
     F                C                 Em
to watch me pause to find the words to steal your heart away
F             C             Em               Am
But I play every word back round and round to try and find
F                      C              Em
a clue you might have left behind to say you feel the same



     C    G    Em    F
And even if I know
     C    G       Em   F
Ill never be your Leo
     C    G      C
Ill keep holding on


  C                                                     Am 
A hundred and three thousand ghosts are laughing in my dreams
                    Em 
My eyes are failing me 
                          C
everywhere I look I see you
                                                           Am
I could bake a chocolate cake for you with tiers up to the moon
                           Em 
Could you show me how its done
                                    F
like you showed me how to fall in love?



             C              Em             Am
Youll never see that Im the one who never left you
          F           C                Em
When you needed me to cry to cos your heart got broke again
F       C                Em          Am
So Ill play until the strings on my guitar give out,
 F                  C               Em
And Ill be aching from the pain of trying to pretend



     C    G    Em    F
And even if I know
     C    G       Em   F
Ill never be your Leo
     C    G      C
Ill keep holding on

This land's so alien to me but I just felt comfortable here
     Em                       G             Em                      G
And now I don't know the way home, I don't know where I'm trying to go.

       C
The streets here have numbers the buildings in blocks, 
     Am
But none of the street signs are pointing to you.
 Em                           G
I've seen a whole different world.

         F                         E                      C                    Am
Now the sky's getting darker, the air getting cooler, and I just can't win anymore, 
     Dm                       G                    C
So forgive me my darling, we all have impossible dreams.

C                             Am
I tried so many new things. Smashes don't matter against memories.
  Em                          G              Em                    G
Seems like I made the wrong choice. I'd say sorry, but I have no voice,
                     C
to tell you that decisions are hard and my world is so small.
  Am                                          Em                       G
Nothing matters unless you're satisfied. Who else can I share my chai with?

Now the sky's getting darker, the air getting cooler, and I just can't win anymore, 
     Dm                       G                    C
So forgive me my darling, we all have impossible dreams.

C                                Am
I don't know much of my life, but I know I want people to know,
  Em                 G           Em               G
Maybe I might sing along, as if this were only a song.


             F                        E                      C                  Am
But now the sky's getting darker the air getting cooler, and I just can't win anymore 
     Dm                   G                 
So forgive me my darling...

Impossible Dreams

Verse: Em, C, G, B7
Chorus: F, C, B7, Em

If I counted up the hours I spent on the phone to you
Or waiting at train stations to meet you
I?d give myself maybe a thousand hours estimate
And that still wouldn?t make up for the sleep you made me lose
If someone told me I could have it all back
No more writing or reflecting or thinking on what could be
I?d tell that person they don?t know me at all
Cos you made me who I am and they don?t get how much you mean to me

This may come as a surprise
But I don?t care if we fight
Cos I?d rather that you lie
Then you not be there at all
So I?ll sing you some clich

A Thousand Hours

Intro: Variations on G
Verse-1: G, Em, A
Verse-2: Em, C7

We ran through the rain together
You said I looked nice, I said you looked pretty
You held my hand, you pulled me close
And whispered ?etake me home?

We turned around as fast as we could
And jumped on the very next train
I said ?eI love you more than life?
You said ?eI feel the same?

And we talked about nothing forever
You spoke to the walls, they told you a story
The world spun underneath our feet
As we shut our exhausted eyes

We wrote our names in a heart on the sand
And saw the sea wash it away
I said ?eI want you in my life?
She said ?eokay?

She was gonna go, but I said ?eno, I don?t think so?
She looked at me, she smiled at me
And now I?ll tell you what she said:

?eDo you like candy floss??
I said ?eyeah, it?s alright?
She said ?etake me to a fun fair and we?ll eat candy floss tonight?

And we spun on the teacups
Round and round and round until we felt dizzy
You asked me to win you a bear
And said it was fine when I failed
(And we all know those things are rigged anyway.)

You and me, spinning through the trees ?till our faces were blue
I?ll always be that little boy sharing candy floss with you

Don't Look Back

intro
G


G
We sing together out of key,

Although we try it seems we just can't find our harmony,
                               Cadd9
We just don't fit each others frequencies,
                      Em7
That makes you out of reach,
               Dsus4
And I am finally accepting that,

G
About you and me, it's plain to see,

We only ever want to stay inside and watch tv,
                         Cadd9
Because that's just as good a memory,
                 Em7
You're just good company,
         Dsus4
And I am finally accepting that,


Em7                                         G
Remember the time when we stole the whole day?
Em7                                 G
And nobody knows it, we took it away,
Cadd9                    G
And it will be forever mine,
Cadd9                   G
And it will be forever yours
Em7                               G
Now we own the night, and it can't be undone,
Em7                               G
We'll never forget how it feels to be young,
Cadd9                   G
Cos it will be forever mine,
Cadd9                   G
Cos it will be forever yours


G
Come on darlin' have some indecency,

You know there's nothing you could say that would embarrass me,
                            Cadd9
I heard a song tell me that talk is cheap,
                      Em7
But it's all you do with me,
        Dsus4
And I am finally accepting that,


G
It's just our routine,

We try and dream,

And buy the things we said we'd buy when we had more money,
                          Cadd9
All in the name of making memories,
                     Em7
That's what you want with me,
             Dsus4
And I am finally accepting that,


Em7                                         G
Remember the time when we stole the whole day?
Em7                                 G
And nobody knows it, we took it away,
Cadd9                    G
And it will be forever mine,
Cadd9                   G
And it will be forever yours
Em7                               G
Now we own the night, and it can't be undone,
Em7                               G
We'll never forget how it feels to be young,
Cadd9                   G
Cos it will be forever mine,
Cadd9                   G
Cos it will be forever yours


Cadd9
It would never work between us,
G
Never work between us,
Dsus4
And I'm glad we've got that straight

Em7                                         G
Remember the time when we stole the whole day?
Em7                                 G
And nobody knows it, we took it away,
Cadd9                    G
And it will be forever mine,
Cadd9                   G
And it will be forever yours
Em7                               G
Now we own the night, and it can't be undone,
Em7                               G
We'll never forget how it feels to be young,
Cadd9                   G
Cos it will be forever mine,
Cadd9                   G
Cos it will be forever yours


Cadd9               G
This will be forever mine


Cadd9                G
This will be forever yours


Em7             Cadd9   Dsus4     Cadd9    G
Now we own the night, and it can't be undone

Good Morning Sunshine

Verse: C, E, F, Dsus2
Bridge: C, E, Am, F, G
Chorus: Same as verse

There?s someone out there in the world like you
With perfect glossy hair and skinny jeans from Camden
But they won?t be able to drive me crazy
?Cos that?s a curse that only you seem to know how to do

And everytime I see you
It takes days for me to get back on my feet

I?m not that good at writing but I thought you should know
Every song?s about you ?cos you?re everywhere I go
If all we do is hold hands and laugh at stuff on TV
That?ll still be a real good day for me

There?s someone out there in the world like you
Who has such a way with words that I couldn?t resist him
But I don?t think you?d be impressed
?Cos even if he?s more available, he won?t have my honesty

And everytime I need you
I know you?ll never be far away from me

I?m not that good at writing but I thought you should know
Every song?s about you ?cos you?re everywhere I go
If all we do is hold hands and laugh at stuff on TV
That?ll still be a real good day for me

There?s people out there in the world like us
Who have chemistry and the common sense to act on it
But who needs simplicity in this candid game of hearts
We?ll just keep dancing ?till we tear ourselves apart

I?m not that good at writing but I thought you should know
Every song?s about you ?cos you?re everywhere I go
If all we do is hold hands and laugh at stuff on TV
That?ll still be a real good day for me

Chorus: Am, G, B7

Sat in peaceful scenery
The city lights shine bright around me
The smell of last night?s dinner is still breezing through the air
Dozing in tranquility
The morning sun hangs high above me
Clicking camera shutters catch bewildered foreign stares

And I must be away from my home
But it feels so close to me
And I must be away from my home
But it feels so close to me

Clifftop is our tapestry
The sunlit sky does well to cool me
Drifting past the villas in a coach without a care
Blackjack in serenity
Fellow makers ride beside me
Walking through an archway and admiring what lies there

And I must be away from my home
But it feels so close to me
And I must be away from my home
But it feels so close to me

Sat in peaceful scenery
The city lights shine bright around me
Smell of last night?s dinner is still breezing through the air
Through the air

Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds
                  C               G  D
I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime
               G                            Em 
Darling just hold my hand, be my girl, I’ll be your man
          C              D
I see my future in your eyes



       Em   C            G          D              Em

1) Almost heaven,   West Virginia,
2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.

            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

You were staying out all night and I had enough

       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

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.
