Eyes On You

# Capo on 3

C                       C/E
Left your t-shirt in my room
Am              C/G
Still smells of you
C                    C/E
And the picture you hung on the door
Am             C/G
Lay smashed, picture perfect
C        C/E
Explains now
Am                C/G
Clearly nothing left but a memory
C            C/E
We only made out
Am
You never kissed me
                          C/G
That's how I learned to hold back all feeling


C                  Am
Wait, please don't go
Em
I won't stay
           G
All these words on replay
C      Am
I'm okay
Em
It's all right
         G
Good to know that you're fine


C           Am              Em             G
Pretending everything is right to make it better
C            Am               Em
I'll hide my make-up smeared eyes
                  G
To show that I'm fine


C                  C/E                    Am
Somehow you have managed to get under my skin
                    C/G
More than anyone ever did
C                          C/E
And if every hole makes a scar
Am                       C/G
And every scar marks its place
C                  C/E             Am       C/G
Then I will never live freely without your trace
C                   E.C
And it'll never be fair
Am                                 C/G
I wrote my songs for you and you never even cared
C              C/E
So I'll forget you
                Am                   C/G
I'll wash your t-shirt and kill the pillow

And cut you out of pictures

C                  Am
Wait, please don't go
Em
I won't stay
           G
All these words on replay
C      Am
I'm okay
Em
It's all right
         G
Good to know that you're fine


F
This drama sat shotgun
C/G
My eyes rained like autumn
C                         C/E
Only the glove box knows how the story goes
F
Now that this bandage is broken
C/G
And the cuts left in open
C
I'll tell you just one thing
C/E
This wasn't worth the sting (3X)

Makeup Smeared Eyes

[VERSE 1]

D               A               G           A
You know what I miss here the most?
    D          A              G           A
Is hanging around coast to coast
        Em           Bm
If what they say is true,
          C           G     D
Then the best we can do is go

[VERSE 2]

D                  A           G           A
Cause some days you wanted to die
         D            A        G           A
But the rest was too good to deny
       Em           Bm
So we lay down to sleep,
          C          G     A
With the secrets we keep alive

[CHORUS]

         D          G       A
So it's goodbye to all the best
          D                     G          A
Put your head on my pillow and give it a rest
           Bm            A          G        A        D
Cause you can't run in circles at everyone else's request

[VERSE 3]

     D          A          G        A
You came to me tired and cold
D              A              G           A
Worn down and broke from the road
       Em             Bm
But before this was through,
        C         G        A
It was all up to you, you know?

[CHORUS]

         D               G       A
So it's goodbye to the ones we left
          D                           G          A
There's a place on my pillow should you need to rest
      Bm            A
And a sense of adventure
    G         A            Bm         A
So don't get upset if you came disappointed,
   G              A            Bb
I know that you walked out impressed

[BRIDGE]

      C
Oh my God
           F                     A7              Bb
There's a million things I will say to you, my friends
        C            D
When I can, but 'til then

[CHORUS]

         D               G       A
So it's goodbye to the ones we left
          D                           G          A
There's a place on my pillow should you need to rest
      D
And a sense of belonging
    G            A
And that never ends
           Bm        A          G            A       D
But I'll always be hoping that one day I'll see you again

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty

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.

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

repeats.
