Madeleine, what's up with those tears in your eyes?

What happen when you shut down

In the silence of your cave you feel safe
                  B
You decorated with velvet drapes.
D
Outside you see the dark woods
                                     A
But you don't know there's fields of gold ahead.

D        E
Hold on, don't let go.

As long as you love me

Verse 1
         Am                           F
Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
    G                       C         
I'm leavin' my life in your hands
Am                            F 
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
G                   C           
Risking it all in a glance
    Am                              F
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
  G                       C        
I can't get you out of my head
Am                                 F
Don't care what is written in your history
     G            C

As long as you love me

Who you are
  C
Where you're from
             Am
Don't care what you did
      G
As long as you love me


Verse 2

Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we're meant to be


Chorus 2
               F
I don't care who you are (who you are)
  C
Where you're from (where you're from)
  Am
What you did
     G
As long as you love me (I don't know)
  F
Who you are (who you are)
  C
Where you're from (where you're from)
               Am

Bridge
Am                               C
   I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
      F
But I guess it shows
         F      G         
When you look into my eyes
Am                               C 
   What you did and where you're comin from
        F#7b5   Fmaj7        G          F  C  Am  G 
I don't care, as long as you love me, baby

Shape Of My Heart

Em           C
Here we are, seven days
    Bm              D 
And seven nights of empty tries
Em           C 
It's ritual, habitual
         Bm          D 
But it's never gonna work this time 
Am                    C
We're to the point of no return
    G                D                        Am C                    
And along the way the only thing we've learned 
   G               D
Is how to hurt each other 

I'm looking back and wondering why 
It took so long to realize 
That nothing's changed, it never will 
All these years of standing still 
And still we stay in all this pain 
And nothing's gonna make it go away 

Em                 C
I don't wanna wait another minute
G                D 
Put me out of my misery
Em                        C 
I can read your mind baby you're not in it
    G                 D 
And we're not what we used to be 
       Em               C           
No you wouldn't have to lie to me
             G           D 
If you would only let me go
    Em                 C                     G
And I don't wanna wait another minute to hear 
D                             Em
Something that I already know 

        C             G   D
I know, I know, I know   

So save your voice 
Don't waste your breath 
Can't you see we're at the end
And this goodbye is permanent 
So wish me well and try to forget 

And all the fights 
And all the ways 
We almost made it 
But we never did 
And it's finally come to this 


I don't wanna wait another minute 
Put me out of my misery 
I can read your mind baby you're not in it 
And we're not what we used to be 
No you wouldn't have to lie to me 
If you would only let me go 
And I don't wanna wait another minute to hear 
Something that I already know 

F       C      Em      D
  We can not hide what we've become
F      C        Em    D         C  
 So sick and tired of being numb
          D           Em C G D
 It's done, it's done
          Em C D G
 It's done 


I don't wanna wait another minute 
Put me out of my misery 
I can read your mind baby you're not in it 
And we're not what we used to be 
No, you wouldn't have to lie to me 
If you would only let me go 
And I don't wanna wait another minute to hear 
Something that I already know 
I know, I know, I know 
Something that I already know 
I know, I know, I know 
Something that I already know 
I know, I know, I know 
I know, 'cause I know

Back To Your Heart

Intro: F   Dm   Bb  C

Verse 1:
              F
Everybody knows
                  Dm
That I was such a fool
                  Bb
To ever let go of you
                  C 
But baby I was wrong
                   F
And yeah I know I said
                    Dm
We'd be better off alone
                         Bb
It was time that we moved on
                       C
I know I broke your heart
                             Bb      C
I didn't mean to break your heart

Chorus:
                 F 
But baby, here I am
                       Dm
Banging on your front door
                           Bb
My pride's spilled on the floor
                          C
My hands and knees are bruised
                          F
And I'm crawling back to you
                        Dm
Begging for a second chance
                     Bb
Are you gonna let me in?
                        C
I was running from the truth
                             F       Dm 
And now I'm crawling back to you

(Verse 2 the same chords with verse 1)
Verse 2:
I know you're in there
And you can make me wait
But I'm not gonna wait
This is the least that I can do
Just is to tell you face to face
I was lying to myself
Now I'm dying in this hell
Girl, I know you're mad
I can't blame you for being mad

(Chorus)
                       Dm
If you could see these tears I'm crying
                                Bb
Touch these hands that can't stop shaking
                               C
Hear my heart that's barely beating

You would see a different man

(Chorus)

Crawling Back To You

Intro: Dm Am  C 
 
F             C 
Who are you now? 
        Dm                Bb                  F 
Are you still the same or did you change somehow? 
F           C  
What do you do?  
         Dm         Bb              F	 
At this very moment when I think of you  
             C       Dm 
And when I'm looking back 
            Bb  
How we were young and stupid 
F         C     Dm      Bb  
Do you remember that? 




          Gm 
No matter how I fight it 
Bb  
Can't deny it 
C  
Just can't let you go  
 



(:Chorus) 
        F    C 
I still need you 
        Dm     Bb  
I still care about you 
       F                  C        Dm  Bb  
Though everything's been said and done  
        F    C            Dm      Bb 
I still feel you like I'm right beside you 
   Gm        Dm      
But still no word from you 
 



F           C 
Now look at me 
Dm                Bb              F 
Instead of moving on, I refuse to see 
            C      Dm 
That I keep coming back 
          Bb  
Yeah, I'm stuck in a moment 
F           C        Dm 
That wasn't meant to last 
     Gm                 Bb 
I've tried to fight it, can't deny it 
C 
You don't even know that 
  



(:Chorus) 
        F    C 
I still need you 
        Dm     Bb  
I still care about you 
       F                  C        Dm  Bb  
Though everything's been said and done  
        F    C            Dm      Bb 
I still feel you like I'm right beside you 
   Gm        Dm      
But still no word from you 




Gm Bb 
No, No... 




Gm 
I wish I could find you 
Bb                          C 
Just like you found me, then I 
                    F   C  Dm Bb 
Would never let you go 
 



(need you, care about you) 
F                        C        Dm    Bb 
Though everything's been said and done, yeah 
        F      C 
I still feel you (I still feel you) 
         Dm       Bb 
like I'm right beside you (like I'm right here beside you) 
     Gm      Dm            F 
But still no word from you

   Verse 1:
   F#m                       D    E
   So many words for the broken heart
   F#m                       D    E
   It's hard to see in a crimson love
   E                     D                C#
   So hard to breathe, walk with me, and maybe
   F#m                 D     E
   Nights of light so soon become
   F#m                     D       E
   Wild and free I could feel the sun
   E                 D            C#

   Tell me why I can't be there where you are
              D               E
   There's something missing in my heart

   Verse 2: (Chords mimic verse 1)
   
   Life goes on as it never ends
   Eyes of stone observe the trends
   They never say, forever gaze
   Guilty roads to an endless love
   There's no control, are you with me now?
   Your every wish will be done, they tell me

   F#m                      D      E

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'm going where the people know my name

 Em        A
 Ooh, Ooh, shot her dead


Verse 2:You take my hand I'll take your hand, together we may get away,

        This must madness is too much sorrow, its impossible to make it

        today... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away

I know these roof top nights could last forever.
              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

American Dream 

[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

[chorus]

Overreacting

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
