[Verse 1]
E     A                   G     
 I stumble through the wreckage,
D/F#              E
rusted from the rain
          A                G    
There's nothing left to salvage,
D/F#             E
no one left to blame
 A                G   
Among the broken mirrors, 
D/F#             E
I don't look the same
E    G      D/F#      E
I'm rusted from the rain, 
E    G      D/F#      E
I'm rusted from the rain

[Verse 2]
E     A                 G  
 Dissect me until my blood runs
D/F#             E
down into the drain
      A                G   
My bitter heart is pumping
D/F#             E
oil into my veins
      A                G
I'm nothing but a tin man,
D/F#             E
don't feel any pain
E    G      D/F#   E
I don't feel any pain,
E    G      D/F#   E
I don't feel any pain
E    G      D/F#      E
I'm rusted from the rain

[Chorus 1]
E       A                G
 Go on crush me like a flower,
D/F#             E
rusted from the rain
       A                G
Come on, strip me of my power,
D/F#                 E 
beat me with your chains
       A                G
And if I'm the king of cowards,
D/F#                 E 
you're the queen of pain
E    G      D/F#      E
I'm rusted from the rain,
E    G      D/F#      E
I'm rusted from the rain

Navy Song

Intro: Gm F Eb Gm x7, Gm F Eb Cm


Gm
Down, let's take it down
             Bb          F
Raise up the heads on a stake
        Cm      Eb
We will show no mercy
      Gm       D
On evolution's mistake
Gm
Change will have to wait
                Bb        F
If we can't decide on a fate
       Cm      Eb
Self appointed profits
      Gm          D
And a doomsday charade


Pre-Chorus:
    Cm
You preach about love
    D
And teach about fate
    Bb
But all your beliefs
          Eb            Gm-F-Eb-Gm- x2
Are still rooted in hate


Chorus:
Gm         F
Crosses to bend
Eb      Gm
Axes to fall
    Gm           F
And down on your knees
         Eb            Gm
You just don't look so tall
Gm         F
Crosses to bend
Eb      Gm
Axes to fall
    Gm           F
And down on your knees
         Eb            Cm
You just don't look so tall



 Gm
Stop, punch in the clock
              Bb          F
Punch it with all of your rage
        Cm     Eb
Put the men in office
      Gm      D
For a minimum wage
Gm
Rats fighting for scraps
           Bb            F
Siphon the gas from your tank
          Cm      Eb
Left your pockets empty
        Gm             D
As they laughed at the bank


Pre-Chorus:
      Cm
They speak about draws
    D
But make no mistake
        Bb
They're shaking your head
            Eb              Gm-F-Eb-Gm x2
While they spit in your face


Chorus:
Gm         F
Crosses to bend
Eb      Gm
Axes to fall
    Gm           F
And down on your knees
         Eb            Gm
You just don't look so tall
Gm         F
Crosses to bend
Eb      Gm
Axes to fall
    Gm           F
And down on your knees
         Eb            Gm
You just don't look so tall


Solo: 
D x4



Gm
Now, the time is now
             Bb       F
We can still turn it around
           Cm           Eb
Raise your voice like a weapon
          Gm          D
'Til they fall to the ground
Gm
Light, let there be light
          Bb        F
Without a shadow of doubt
        Cm
We will fight tooth
    Eb
And nail until
   Gm        D
Salvation is found


Pre-Chorus:
   Cm
So how can you look
    D
The world in the eyes
     Bb
When all we can see
      Eb              Gm-F-Eb-Gm x2
Is corruption and lies?


Chorus (slower)
Gm           F
Down on your knees
    Eb            Gm       Gm F Eb Gm
You don't look so tall,
Gm           F
Down on your knees
    Eb            Gm       Gm F Eb Gm
You don't look so tall

Gm           F
Cracking the whip on
    Eb           Gm
The backs of the poor
   Gm            F
We asked you to stop but
     Eb          Gm
You still wanted more
    Gm            F
The blood on your hands
       Eb           Gm
Left a trail as you crawl
Gm           F
Down on your knees you
     Eb            Gm
Just don't look so tall!


Chorus (normal):
Gm         F
Crosses to bend
Eb      Gm
Axes to fall
    Gm           F
And down on your knees
         Eb            Gm
You just don't look so tall
Gm         F
Crosses to bend
Eb      Gm
Axes to fall

You just don't look so tall
Gm         F
Crosses to bend
Eb      Gm
Axes to fall
    Gm           F
And down on your knees
         Eb            Gm
You just don't look so tall
Gm         F
Crosses to bend
Eb      Gm
Axes to fall
Gm           F
Down on your knees,
    Eb            Gm
you don't look so tall
Gm        F
open your eyes and 
    Eb     Gm
the empire falls!

Am              C   G         Em
   I hitched a ride, until the coast 

Am              C  G          Em
   To leave behind, all of my ghosts

   Voice in my head, will soon be fed

Am         C       G              C     Em

Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground

Fallen Leaves

Chorus x2
Am                       C
Cast off the crutch that kills the pain
    G                     F
The red flag waving never meant the same
    C                      G
The kids of tomorrow don't need today
          E
When they live in the sins of yesterday

Gm                    F   
Down, let's take it down
               Eb        Cm
Raise up the heads on a stake
          Eb      Gm
We will show no mercy
     D
On evolution's mistake

Gm                  F
Change will have to wait
             Eb          Cm
If we can't decide on a fate
    Eb        Gm
Self appointed profits 
     D
And a doomsday charade
 
Cm 
You preach about love
D
And teach about fate
Bb
But all your beliefs are still rooted in hate

[x2:] 
Gm
Crosses still burn
F
Axes still fall
Eb
And down on your knees you just don't look so tall

Gm                  F
Stop, punch in the clock
               Eb          Cm
Punch it with all of your rage
     Eb         Gm
Put the men in office

For a minimum wage

Gm                 F
Rats fighting for scraps
               Eb        Cm
Siphon the gas from your tank
          Eb       Gm
Left your pockets empty
         D
As they laughed to the bank
Cm
They speak about trust

But make no mistake
Bb
They're shaking your head while they spit in your face

Gm
Crosses still burn 
F
Axes still fall

Now, the time is now

We can still turn it around

Raise your voice like a weapon
           D
'Til they fall to the ground


Gm                   F
Light, let there be light
          Eb         Cm
Without a shadow of doubt

We will fight tooth and nail
        D
Until salvation is found

Cm                   D
So how can you look the world in the eyes

When all we can see his corruption and lies

Down on your knees you don't look so tall [x2]

Gm                       F            Eb
Cracking the whip on the backs of the poor
Gm                       F                Eb
We asked you to stop but you still wanted more
Gm                             F             Eb
The blood on your hands left a trail as you crawl
Gm                           F             Eb
Down on your knees you just don't look so tall

[x3:]
Gm
Crosses still burn
F
Axes still fall
Eb
Down on your knees you just don't look so tall

Gm
Crosses still burn
F
Axes still fall
Eb
Down on your knees you don't look so tall
Open your eyes and the empire falls

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,

Look for you on Marley Lane

In every building, every streetlight

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

You can run away boy, but you won't go far

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade

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

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.

Overreacting

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

get a friend to strum the chords: C, G, Em, D in the background
