 Beck Hansen (born Bek David Campbell, July 8, 1970) is an American musician, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist.  Beck's music is known for its pop-junk culture collage of musical styles, ironic lyrics, samples, drum machines, live instrumentation and heady sound effects.  Beck was born in Los Angeles, California, to David Campbell (a musician and son of a Presbyterian minister) and Bibbe Hansen (a former dancer for The Velvet Underground, founding member of the satirical band Black Fag, and visual artist).

G
True love will find you in the end
C                                             G 
You'll find out just who was your friend
Em                               A7
Don't be sad, I know you will,
       C
But don't give up until
                                     G
True love finds you in the end.

G
This is a promise with a catch
C                                     G 
Only if you're looking will it find you
G
'Cause true love is searching too
C                
But how can it recognize you
                                         G
Unless you step out into the light?
Em                                 A7
Don't be sad, I know you will
C
But don't give up until
                                     G
True love finds you in the end.

I saw her, yeah I saw her
            C                       A
With a black tongue tied round the roses
A                                      (G)
A fist pounding on a vending machine
 C                         A
Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger
A 
With a noose she could hang from the sun
       G                            C
And point it out with the dark sunglasses
A          
Walking crooked down the beach
         G                                      C
She spits in the sand where their bones are bleaching

  I saw her, yeah I saw her
               C                            A
With her hands tied back, her rags are burnin'
A                                    (G)
   Calling out from a land-filled life
     C                             A
Scrawling her name upon the ceiling
A
   Throw a coin in the fountain of dust
G                       C
White noise, her ears are ringing
A
   Got a ticket for my midnight hanging
G                                    C
   Throw a bullet from a freight train leaving

(Same chords as first part)

In the afternoon, riding the scapegoat,

burning equipment, decomposing.

Cool off your jets, 

take off your sweats,

I got a funny feeling

they got plastic in the afterlife.



(Same chords as second part:)

When they want you to cry,

leap into the sky.

When they suck your mind,

like a pigeon you fly.

I know, I know,

it's the positive people

running from their time

looking for some feeling.

Trying to hold 
Hold out for now 
With these ice caps 
Melting down 
With the transistor sound 
And my Chevrolet terraplane 
Going round, round, round

From the houses burning 
And the heat wave's 
Calling your name

Hit me like a gamma ray 
Standing in a hurricane 
And I'm pulling 
Out thorns 
Smokestack lightning 
Out my window

Chorus:
Come a little gamma ray 
Standing in a hurricane 
When your body's bored 
Like a refugee 
From the houses burning 
And the backbiters 
Calling your name

Makin' his way across state in a fiddlin' band

With his hair all down in his eyes

Climbs into bed in his cowboy boots

Lights a cigar as he's fallin' asleep.

Heartland Feelings

A                             D
I been drifting along in the same stale shoes
A                               D
Loose ends tying a noose in the back of my mind
A
If you thought that you were making your way
             D
To where the puzzles and pagans lay
             A                           D
I'll put it together: Its a strange invitation
        A                               D
When I wake up someone will sweep up my lazy bones
    A                               D
And we will rise in the cool of the evening
A
I remember the way that you smiled
         D
When the gravity shackles were wild
        A
And something is vacant when I think its all beginning
A                                  D
I been drifting along in the same stale shoes
A                                  D
Loose ends tying the noose in the back of my mind
A
If you thought that you were making your way
              D
To where the puzzles and pagans lay
            A                           D
Ill put it together: Its a strange invitation.

Lost Cause

Intro E  A  Abm  F#m (this is repeated throughout the verses)

E             A       Abm
Woke up this morning
F#m                 E            A Abm F#m
Found a love light in the storm
E               A       Abm
Looked up this morning
F#m             E             A Abm F#m
Saw the roses full of thorns
E             A       Abm
Guns are falling
F#m                 E            A Abm F#m
They don't have nowhere to go
E             A       Abm
In Oceans a diamond
F#m              E            A Abm F#m E
Always shines from your glow

G           A                    E
But can we start it all over again?
      B
This Morning

I've lost all my defenses
      B
This morning
           D           A
Won't you show me the way
                E  A  Abm  F#m
It used to be?

E             A       Abm
I've gone all around
F#m              E            A Abm F#m 
'Til there's nothing left to say
E             A       Abm
We've worn it all down
F#m              E            A Abm F#m 
Into something that couldn't be said
E             A       Abm
Yeah, tie it all down
F#m              E            A Abm F#m E
And bury me underneath the waves

This morning

This morning

Won't you show me the way

It could've been?

Morning

A#     A
She took me off my guard with disappointment
      A#       A       A#   A
I got sucked inside of her apartment
          A#       A        A#    A
She's got dried-up flowers, flaky skin
  A#     A              A#        A       C
A beaded necklace and a bottle of gin
         G         F     C 
She's a nightmare Hippy girl
                G            F        C
With her skinny fingers fondling' my world
         G          F        C
She's a whimsical, tragical beauty
     G                F         Am           C    F    Am
Self-conscious and a little bit . . . moody 

       A#      A       A#    A
It's a new age letdown in my face
      A#        A             A#       A
She's so spaced out and there ain't no space
          A#  A            A#       A
She's got marijuana on the bathroom tile
    A#          A
I'm caught in a vortex
      A#           A      C
She's changing' my style

         G         F     C
She's a nightmare Hippy girl
                G            F        C
With her skinny fingers fondling' my world
         G          F        C
She's a whimsical, tragical beauty
  G           F          Am             C
Uptight and a little bit . . . snooty

       F       Am     C
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

        G        F          C
She's a magical, sparkling' tease
        G       F            C
She's a rainbow choking' the breeze
          G            F        C
Yo, she's busting' out onto the scene
     G         F     C
With nightmare bogus poetry
        G         F           C
She's a melted avocado on the shelf
          G       F     C
She's the science of herself
               G        F      C
She's spazzing out on a cosmic level
          G          F        C
And she's meditating with the devil
      G       F         C
She's cooking salad for breakfast
          G        F       C
She's got tofu the size of Texas
        G          F       C
She's a witness to her own glory
        G     F      C
She's a never-ending story
        G     F         C
She's a frolicking depression
        G      F           C
She's a self-inflicted obsession
            G        F      C
She's got a thousand lonely husbands
               G           F        C
She's playing' footsie in another dimension
        G       F           C
She's a goddess milking her time

    F              Am
For all that it's worth

teachin me how to cry



D                           A
Cuz it's lonely here in the ugly part of town



    B                                
The buildings are all vacant and 
    E
the telephones are down



A

The sewer drain is glowing and I don't know what state I'm in

And the river is on fire there's chemicals and debris



F#                                        
And all the roads are blocked off 
E
they're just too hard to see



D                             A
So cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show



B                                        
Cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal

and a life to call my own


(At this point Harmonica solo plays over chord progression A-B-F#-E)



A                              B
So get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair



F#                                    
The limitations are limitless 
E
they're floating thru the air


D                               A
Cuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you


B                                                 
And there's nothin I wouldn't talk 
 E
about with the clearest dream


                    A
that ever drifted by

Well I'm scared, I’m scared, I’m scared to death

A           G                    F                 C
And all the memories I wanted to forget for making waves
A                     G              F             C

A                  G                         F      C
And I take all and gain at my future on it’s way to me

Sorrow is what I hate but it's grown my sensations

Regrets taught me how to make any hard decisions
C                     F             G             C
Peace is always by my side but I've never felt it once
Am                   F                 G       C
Love is not the word reserved only for a sweet romance

This is a promise with a catch 
Only if you're looking will it find you 
'Cause true love is searching too 
But how can it recognize you? 
Unless you step out into the light 
Don't be sad, I know you will 
Don't give up until 
True love finds you in the end 

True love will find you in the end 
You'll find out just who was your friend

The Late Great Daniel Johnston: Discovered Covered

Girl is a Beck song from the 2005 album Guero. It was released as the second single from the album in July 2005. The video for the song, created by Motion Theory, was inspired by the MAD fold-ins by Al Jaffee. The song begins with a simple chiptune melody. The rest of the song consists of acoustic guitars and drums.

Lost Cause is the fifth song by Beck from his fifth major-label studio album, Sea Change. It was released as a promo single. Two music videos were made for &quot;Lost Cause&quot;, both being directed by Garth Jennings. The original video features an effigy of Beck falling from the sky. It was produced entirely in Adobe Photoshop. The second version just features the band playing the song. The song was featured prominently in the Ben Stiller movie, Along Came Polly. A version appears on the 2007 compilation album, The Saturday Sessions: The Dermot O'Leary Show.

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,

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

  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A

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.

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

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]
