The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind

Ben Folds Five is a trio formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States in 1994, who until their breakup in 2000 were a mainstay of piano rock. Much of their work was influenced by jazz, evident in frequent improv-styled passages through bridge and/or ending.  The members of the band are Ben Folds, the lead singer and pianist, who also wrote most of the songs; Robert Sledge on bass; and Darren Jessee on drums. The group enjoyed the success of the single Brick in 1997, a ballad written by Folds (with a chorus by Jessee) about his high school girlfriend getting an abortion.

(Verse)
C
You took a trip
    G        
And climbed a tree
    F                C
At Robert Sledge's party
     C                    G
And there you stayed 'til morning came
F                          C
You were not the same after that
C
You gave your life
   G
To Jesus Christ
    F              C          
And after all your friends went home
C
You came down
    G
You looked around
    F                C
And you were not the same after that
(pre-chorus)
Am           F
Ahhhhhhhh ahhhhhh
C                       G
You were not the same after that
Am         F
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhh
C                       G
You were not the same after that
(Chorus)
             F
You see 'em drop like flies
          G
From the bright sunny skies
            F
They come knocking at your door
            G
With this look in their eyes
        F
You got one good trick
           G
And you're hangin' on
             F
You're hangin' on
     G
To it...

(repeat verse)
You took the word
And made it heard
And eased the people's pain
And for that
You were idolized, immortalized
And you were not the same after that

Walking tall
You'd bought it all
And you were not the same after that
'Till someone died
On the water slide
And you were not the same after that
(repeat chorus)
You see 'em drop like flies
From the bright sunny skies
They come knocking at your door
With this look in their eyes
You got one good trick
And you're hangin' on
You're hangin' on
To it...

Am               F
(OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO)
(OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO)

You see 'em drop like flies
From the bright sunny skies
They come knocking at your door
With this look in their eyes
You got one good trick
And you're hangin' on
You're hangin' on
You see them drop like flies

You're hangin' on
You're hangin' on
You're hangin' on

Two have come apart, I must have once been raveled
Bb                    C
Now in pretty phrases, it don't mean nothing

Verse:
C	   Am7		Em7	    G
Fred sits alone at his desk in the dark
           C		 Am7	     Em7	  G
There's an awkward young shadow that waits in the hall
     Am		     F		     Am		 F
He's cleared all his things and he's put them in boxes
C			G
Things that remind him: 'Life has been good'
Am	    
Twenty-five years

He's worked at the paper

Verse:
There was no party, there were no songs
'Cause today's just a day like the day that he started
Noone has left here that knows his first name
And life barrels on like a runaway train
Where the passengers change
They don't change anything
You get off; someone else can get on


Chorus:
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
It's time

Casting lines on the floor, and lines on his face
   F               C
He reflects on the day


Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement
Projecting some slides onto a plain white
Canvas and traces it
Fills in the spaces
He turns off the slides, and it doesn't look right
Yeah, and all of these bastards
Have taken his place
He's forgotten but not yet gone

And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
It's time

Dm                       C            F            D#m       C
I knew you'd be gone as soon as she could,

And I hoped she would.

We could see that you weren't your self,
And the lines on your face did tell us this aswell,
You'd never be your self again.

Saw you last night,

Danced by the light of the moon,

Stars in your eyes,
                         C                    Dm
Free from the life that you knew.

Trade places with an angel       now.

(Verse)
C
You took a trip
    G        
And climbed a tree
    F                C
At Robert Sledge's party
     C                    G
And there you stayed 'til morning came
F                          C
You were not the same after that
C
You gave your life
   G
To Jesus Christ
    F              C          
And after all your friends went home
C
You came down
    G
You looked around
    F                C
And you were not the same after that
(pre-chorus)
Am           F
Ahhhhhhhh ahhhhhh
C                       G
You were not the same after that
Am         F
Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhh
C                       G
You were not the same after that
(Chorus)
             F
You see 'em drop like flies
          G
From the bright sunny skies
            F
They come knocking at your door
            G
With this look in their eyes
        F
You got one good trick
           G
And you're hangin' on
             F
You're hangin' on
     G
To it...

(repeat verse)
You took the word
And made it heard
And eased the people's pain
And for that
You were idolized, immortalized
And you were not the same after that

Walking tall
You'd bought it all
And you were not the same after that
'Till someone died
On the water slide
And you were not the same after that
(repeat chorus)
You see 'em drop like flies
From the bright sunny skies
They come knocking at your door
With this look in their eyes
You got one good trick
And you're hangin' on
You're hangin' on
To it...

Am               F
(OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO)
(OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOO)

You see 'em drop like flies
From the bright sunny skies
They come knocking at your door
With this look in their eyes
You got one good trick
And you're hangin' on
You're hangin' on
You see them drop like flies

You're hangin' on
You're hangin' on
You're hangin' on

&quot;Brick&quot; is a song performed by Ben Folds Five released on their 1997 album Whatever and Ever Amen and later on Ben Folds Live[1]. The verses were written by Ben Folds about his high school girlfriend undergoing an abortion, and the chorus was written by the band's drummer, Darren Jessee. &quot;Brick&quot; was one of Ben Folds Five's biggest hits, gaining much mainstream radio play in the USA, the UK, and Australia in 1998. It has been called the 'saddest song in the happiest chord' - the song being in the key of D major. 

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

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

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.

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

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]
