The Possibility and the Promise

Fading Days

Amber Pacific is a band that formed in 2002 as a trio of high school juniors who performed locally in their Seattle hometown just for kicks under the name Follow Through. They participated in Warped Tour in 2004-2007. On February 26, 2008, Matt Young (former lead singer) announced that he was leaving the band to train to become a high school principal. Now the band consists of: Jesse Cottam (vocals), Will Nutter (guitar/backup vocals/keyboards), Greg Strong (bass), Davy Rispoli (guitar/backup vocals), and Dango (drums). 

Amber Pacific - Gone So Young

Intro: C-G-F-F#(2X)

Verse1:
         Am                F
I never dreamt it'd be this way
               C                G
I've lost any chance for me to say
               Am                  F
To say that I miss you, say that I love you
                     G
Will someone please tell me I'm okay

             Am                 F
I wasn't prepared for what's to come
                 C               G
A life made of memories gone so young
                Am              F
And now I'm regretting all I've done
             G                                F - G
But in your heart know that I'm with you all along

Chorus
              C              G
Wherever you go, I will be waiting
              Am              F
Whenever you call, I will be there
              C                    G               F
Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
     G                Am      
I'm in your heart tonight

Verse2: CHORDS same as verse1
I never thought that this could go
And take me away from all I know
And leave me to think I'm on my own
But your love will take me, you were the one...

...Who sat through nights
You held me tight
And made sure I'm okay
And I thank you for the love you gave to me

Whatever it takes, I'll make your darkest days so bright
                 C                    G
And if I should fall, I know you're waiting

And if I should call, I know you're there

If ever you cry just know

I'm in your heart tonight...

I'm in your heart tonight.

Gone So Young 

C#               C
I'll quote clever line like hope
                   A#   
I'll take the final words you wrote
                   G#         C#
To make them feel like bliss
              C
As always as I'll take the praise
        A#
I have a way with making things
               G#                   F#     G#
Scripted like a song that makes you sting

C#
I need you here with me
G#
So here's our heart to heart
A#                                 F#
On the back of postcards sent from California
C#
Remember when I said
G#
Just stay what you are
A#                         F#
I know you hate the feeling when I walk away
C#(pm)                 G#(pm)                          F#
When I'm without you I'm not the man that I know I can be
G#
Because your not here with me


Postcards

...B#m        G                 D                A
If time could stop, how could I make this more poetic?
             B#m          G              D        A
When there's nothing more pathetic to be said...
             B#m          G
You bring me out, show me light, 
    D          A                B#m    G       D      A       
I'm sorry if I hide, I'm too afraid to look inside.
          B#m                G
You carry truth, you make me smile.
           D              A
If it were you and me tonight,
        B#m                G                  D        A
I would tame the stars and save the brightest one for you.

Poetically Pathetic

So why should I take your hand when you can't promise happy endings?...

E   B   C#m   A


E      
It's starting to get old
            B
That story yet untold
                   C#m
Reflect before we walk into

What we already know
A
Won't be so easy



E
Looking back at high school drama
B
Didn't try to fix what we thought were problems
C#m
Done with writing empty letters
A
Is there no other way?



E
Staring at your reflection every day
B
Can make or break my heart away
C#m                             A
When you won't listen to what's hard for me to say
E                           B
Those tear stained eyes can make me feel so sad
         C#m                                   A
And once again we're further away from what we never had



                E         B                   C#m            A
So why should I take your hand when you can't promise happy endings?
E                  B               C#m    A
Just run away with so much left to share
          E          B
It's just not enough
           C#m               A
When we're so much more than friends
E                       B              C#m     A
We're much too young to throw away our cares



           E                               B
There's no sense in regretting what's been said in our yesterdays
C#m
We can't take back what's done
                A
But we can look ahead
            E                            B              
And I would walk so much further just to know what I'm doing here
    C#m                                A
And there's no end to what I'd give to know just what you meant when you said
E                                  B
How can I feel alive when we can't help but break our backs just to survive?
C#m                     A
Is this another time we can't control our lives?



E                           B
Those tear stained eyes can make me feel so sad
           C#m                                 A          
And once again we're further away from what we never had



And then the rest of the song repeats what I have in already :)

Yes sir, yes sir,

Three bags full.

C           G
One for the master,

And one for the little boy
G                  C
Who lives down the lane.

And I would waste my precious time, by looking for the perfect rime

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

Out Of The Darkness

Intro: C F C F

C                   F        C                 F
Everything has its season, everything has its time
C            F             C                G
Show me a reason and I'll soon show you a rhyme
Bb                            C                 Am7
Cats fit on the windowsill, children fit in the snow
Gm                                      C
Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go?

F                             Gsus
Rivers belong where they can ramble,
Em                   Em7      F
Eagles belong where they can fly
C           Dm            G             Am
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
F          C       Gm        C
Gotta find my corner of the sky

Repeat verse and chorus x2

Hunger Strike

(Verse)
F#m
Up in the sky, there is a village 
        E                        D
And the people there are blue, I believe it's true 
          F#m
Up in the sky, people are happy 
              E		           D         F#m
They love to sing and there is no need for a king

F#m
Up in the sky, nothing is insane 
       E                           D
Like a rocket driven plane you can fly above the rain 
          F#m
Up in the sky, you just feel fine 
            E                           D
There is no running out of time and you never cross a line

You will make it if you try 
       F#m         D   E
In the sky you are far away
       	  F#m	      D		  	
Up in the sky you can sing

And you can do everything

And no 	matter what they say it's true 
	         F#m
I'm going to the blue

Up in the sky there's no religion

There are no cars an no phones and you cannot be controlled

There is no money making crime but a lot of good wine

Up In The Sky

Intro - C--G--F (x2)

C                     G
Driving home in the pouring rain
C                          G
I'm getting tired of the song that's playing
F      C         G
All i want is a reason
G
You gotta give me something
C                           G
You know it's really hard to concentrate
C                         G
I'm getting tired of the words you're saying
F         C          G
Don't tell me you're waiting
G
I would be all you wanted

C       G         C
Give me something else

C                            G
So if you take a chance then you wont regret it
C                              G
Cause I'll take your hand and I'll keep you betting on me
F                            C
All the things that I'd do to you-oo
G                    C
Everything this is turning into
C                                G
And if you close your eyes then I'll show you something
C                              G
We could spend some time and I'll keep you running to me
F                              C
All the time i would spend with you-oo
G                     C
Everything I could learn about you
C         G
I'll be something
F               C
I'll be all you wanted

C                   G
Here we are in the pouring rain
C                     G
It's pretty clear you're a chance worth taking
F       C          G
I can tell that you're waiting
G
For me to give you something
C                    G
Now there's nothing left to complicate
C                       G
Little words that are not worth saying
F        C        G
You have got to believe me
G
I would be all you wanted

C        G        C
Give me something else


C                            G
So if you take a chance then you wont regret it
C                              G
Cause I'll take your hand and I'll keep you betting on me

I'll be all you wanted

C          G              C             G
Take it or leave it it's not what you think
F              C                 G         C
This could be something that no one could fake
C            G        C         G
If you just try to change your mind
C              G            C         G
But sooner or later you're likely to break
F               C            G       C
And I won't be waiting to fix you mistakes

C        G         C
Give me something else

C                            G
So if you take a chance then you wont regret it
C                              G
Cause I'll take your hand and I'll keep you betting on me
F                            C
All the things that I'd do to you-oo 
Am
Anything this is...

C                            G
So if you take a chance then you wont regret it
C                              G

All You Wanted

C
Deja de pensar y cuéntame,
C7
ya se que ayer estabas junto a él
F
y hoy se ha ido.
Dm G
Ya se que has compartido junto a él
Em Am
la noche tibia y el amanecer.
F G
Ya se que has descubierto junto a él
C C7
la dicha...
F G
Ya se que se ha parado tu reloj
Em Am
pero ahora mismo vas a echarlo a andar
F G
es pronto para dar por un amor
C
la vida...

Bailaremos un vals,
Dm
tomaremos después una copa de más
G7
y hasta que salga el sol
C C7
bailaremos al son de una vieja guitarra.
F G
Brindaremos por ti,
Em Am
brindaremos por él, porque le vaya bien
F G
y mañana verás que es mejor olvidar
C
que llorar por amor.

Vuelve a sonreir, olvídale,
C7
la vida es ancha y estos glopes del amor
F
se olvidan...
Dm G
Después de cada noche nace un sol
Em Am
y vuelven las gaviotas a volar.
F G
Después de la tristeza nacerá
C C7
la dicha...
F G
Y si hoy te han maltratado el corazón
Em Am
y duerme junto a ti la soledad
F G C
no importa porque empieza un día más la vida...


Bailaremos un vals,
Dm
tomaremos después una copa de más
G7
y hasta que salga el sol
C C7
cantaremos al son de una vieja guitarra.
F G
Brindaremos por ti,
Em Am
brindaremos por él, porque le vaya bien
F G
y mañana verás que es mejor olvidar
C C7
que llorar por amor.

F G
Brindaremos por ti,
Em Am
brindaremos por él, porque le vaya bien
F G
y mañana verás que es mejor olvidar
C
que llorar por amor.
