Colors

Em7                          D            G       
 Well, the morning came like a freight train
  Am                                          Em7
 Bearing down on me from a thousand miles of rail
  Em7                           D         G       
 Well it came and gone And kept rolling on
  Am                                                  Em7     D
 Laying up all night with my tear-stained sheet as my veil

                 G
 I don't want to see you again
                 D
 I don't want to feel your breath 
        Am                          C
 As you leaned on me so peacefully while we slept 
                      G                                    D
 And I don't want the keys to our door; I don't live there anymore
          Am                            C                  Em7
 And I'll do my best just to forget the dreams we've dreamt

 Em7                             D           G
 Well, the morning came with the pouring rain
 Am                             Em7
 And I felt just as empty as a pail
 Em7                        D              G
 With the evidence and your crime confessed 
 Am                                                  Em7   D 
 Don't seem right that it's me that spent a night in jail

                 G
 I don't want to see you again
                 D
 I don't want to feel your breath
        Am                         C
 As you leaned on me so peacefully while we slept
                      G                                    D
 And I don't want the keys to our door; I don't live there anymore
          Am                            C                
 And I'll do my best just to forget the dreams we've dreamt

 D          G                   Cadd9
     If you feel a chill in the air
 D           G                  Cadd9
     It's my spirit hanging somewhere
 D          G        Cadd9      
     If you ever get scared
 D           G      C               
 Look on the Brightside 
 D            G    C
    You got a new life

 Em7                           D         G   
 Now the evenings come and I'm all alone
 Am                                              Em7
 And I can't tell if silence is my foe or my friend
 Em7                       D                G
 Well I'm holding on but I ain't too strong
 Am                                                           Em7     D
 I gotta get some rest before that train come back round the bend

                 G
 I don't want to see you again
                 D
 I don't want to feel your breath 
        Am                        C
 As you leaned on me so peacefully while we slept
                      G                                    D
 And I don't want the keys to our door; I don't live there anymore
         Am                                    C            Em7

Am
   A thousand miles,

   I know, there ain't nothin' out there.
    F               G             C
I'm still afraid to turn on the lights.

I am at ease in the arms of a woman.

Intro:

Verse:
             C         F
You speak of love
                 C         F
But you ain't no lover
           C         F
You were a friend
                C         F
And more like a brother


Bridge:
          Am
As the miles passed beneathe me
                                Ddim
The sounds made so sweetly came to an end
          Am
And no man can deny her

but now you're a liar
           Ddim
And you've no room left to defend


Verse:
       C       F
When I left,
                    C        F
I should have known better
        C                    F
All the kind of man that you are
              C         F
You'd have to get her


Bridge:
      Am
And I know you've got a lot of pain
                   Ddim
That's born inside you
          Am
But instead of growing stronger
             Ddim            C
You let it devide you oh


Chorus:
              F    C          F    C
How could you be so careless
              F    C          F
How could you be so careless

Bridge:
        Am
And the waves that are crashing
                               Ddim
True lives of passion washing on your shore
         Am
Yes sir, life has been costing

A true love's been lost
      Ddim                    C     F
And I can't get back anymore


Verse:
        C        F
And I'm sure,
                   C          F
that we both still love her
       C                      F
It's a shame we both lost her
                     C        F
And in turn lost eachother

Bridge:
        Am
But our trust has been broken

And words have been spoken
    Ddim
But you can mend
       Am
And no man can deny her

And as you laid beside her
  Ddim                        C
I hope it felt good my friend


Chorus:

How could you be so careless

How could you be so careless
              F    C         Am   F   C
How could you be so careless with her heart

I've been working on a night train
                       F
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
                          G
I'm out here on a night train
                        C
Trying to get us safely home

                          C
Well in a little country station
                        F
Somewhere out in the midwest
                            G
I see the people out there waiting
                      C
Heart beating in my chest

                            C
And I'm thinking about a woman
                          F
Who I would put no one above
                             G
I'm not looking to replace her
                        C
Just need someone to love

And I'm living in the city
                          F
Where the noise, it never stops
                           G
Hammers pounding on the pavement
                       C
Whistles from traffic cops

                             C
Nobody looks you in the eye here
                              F
Walking around with clinched fists
                                 G
I've been searching for a simple place
                   C
Don't know if it exists

             F                           C
There's a sunrise out there calling my name
      F                G
I can see her moving, I can see her moving

                                 C
Well at a certain time of night, now
                           F
I'll become one with the wind
                       G
Where there isn't a beginning
                  C
And there is no end

                         C
Oh when everything is flowing
                   F
Everything is on time
                           G
And I know that we're all going
                    C
To the end of the line

                                C
I've been working on a night train

I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me

This Heart Attack

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around

And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
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


[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

N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
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 don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]

We like it in the daytime

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

[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)

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

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say

May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

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

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

As She's Walking Away

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.
