I still remember
                              A#   C   Dm   F 
how you looked that afternoon
                   A#   C   Dm   F 
There was only you.
    A#         C         Dm     F 
You said "it's just like a full moon"
A#          C      Dm     F 
Blood beats faster in our veins
    A#      C        Dm     F 
We left our trousers by the canal
A#      C             Dm     F 
And our fingers, they almost touched

Gm Am  Dm          A#      F
Over playgrounds and rooftops

Every park bench screams your name

I kept your tie

Laughed at the people off to work    (Laughed at the people off to work)

So monochrome and so lukewarm        (So monochrome and so lukewarm)

And I can see our days are becoming nights.
             A#   C       Dm F 
I could feel your heartbeat across the grass.
          A#   C   Dm
We should have run
        F 
I would go with you anywhere.
                      A# C      Dm F 
I should have kissed you by the water

VERSE 1
Am         C     Am    C
Lord give me grace and dancing feet
And the power to impress
Lord give me grace and dancing feet
Let me outshine the moon

Am         C     Am    C
Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you

CHORUS
Am   B                C     F
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle them with my wit
Tonight make me unstoppable
And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

VERSE 2
Am         C     Am    C
Standing on the packed dance floor
Our bodies thrown in time
Silent on the weekdays
Tonight I claim what's mine

Am        C     Am    C
Is it so wrong to crave recognition?
Second best, runner-up
Is it so wrong to want rewarding?
To want more than is given to you?
Than is given to you

CHORUS 2
Am   B            C         F

And I will charm, I will slice
I will dazzle, I will outshine them all

Intro D

Verse 1
F                                          Dm
In two more years, my sweetheart, we will see another view
F                                     Dm   C
such longing for the past for such completion
F                              Dm
What was once golden has now turned a shade of grey
F                           Dm  C
I've become crueler in your presence


Pre-Chorus
Bb             Gm                 Dm             C
 They say: 'be brave, there's a right way and a wrong way'
Bb (building)
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever


Chorus x 2
Dm       C                            F
Two more years, there's only two more years
        Gm                             Dm
Two more years, there's only two more years
         C           Bb    Gm
Two more years so hold on

Dm


Verse 2
        F                               Dm
You've cried enough this lifetime, my beloved polar bear
F                              Dm  C
Tears to fill a sea to drown a beacon
F                                     Dm
To start anew all over, remove those scars from your arms
F                             Dm  C
To start anew all over more enlightened


Pre-Chorus
Bb          Gm            Dm           C
I know, my love, this is not the only story you can tell
Bb
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever


Chorus x2
Dm       C                            F
Two more years, there's only two more years
        Gm                             Dm
Two more years, there's only two more years
         C            Bb    Gm
Two more years so hold on

Post-Chorus x 2
    Dm                  C           F               Gm   
You don't need to find answers for questions never asked of you
    Dm                  C      Bb   Gm
You don't need to find answers


Bridge
Bb
Dead weights, balloons
Drag me to you
Dead weights, balloons
To sleep in your arms
I've become crueler since i met you
I've become rougher, this world is killing me


Chorus 
Dm       C                            F
Two more years, there's only two more years
        Gm                             Dm
Two more years, there's only two more years
         C            Bb    Gm
Two more years so hold on
    Dm                  C           F               Gm   
You don't need to find answers for questions never asked of you
    Dm                  C      Bb   Gm
You don't need to find answers

Two More Years

&quot;I Still Remember&quot; is a song by Bloc Party from their second studio album A Weekend in the City. On the album, the song runs for 4:24, but the version on the original leak of A Weekend In The City had an extended outro by Russell Lissack and came in at 4:35. The song is the first US single and is the second UK single from the album. The single was released in the UK in two 7&quot; formats and a CD. The B-sides are &quot;Atonement&quot;, &quot;Cain Said To Abel&quot;, &quot;Selfish Son&quot; and &quot;I Still Remember (Music Box And Tears Remix)&quot;.

&quot;The Prayer&quot; is the first single from Bloc Party's second album A Weekend in the City, except for in the US where it will be the second single from the album (&quot;I Still Remember&quot; was the first US single from the album). It was released by Wichita Records on 29 January 2007. It can also be heard on the band's MySpace page.  Lead singer Kele Okereke says he was inspired to write the song after hearing Busta Rhymes' song &quot;Touch It&quot;. Okereke also described the song as having a &quot;crunk-like&quot; effect, which he revealed in a number of interviews in October 2006 concerning information on the new album.

                F	 	             G		            
There's so much going on it gets hard to breathe
     Am     F		                          C
When all my faith has gone you bring it back to me

You make it real for me

             C	             Am		
When I'm not sure of my priorities

When I've lost sight of where I meant to be
     Am   F		            C

Verse 2:
          C	                   Am		
When my head is strong but my heart is weak
              F	 	          G		
I'm full of arrogance and uncertainty
     Am      F				                          C
When I can't find the words you teach my heart to speak
Am	         G	       F   C
You make it real for me yeah

Chorus:
    G	    Am	   F	             C

Bridge:
G                           F                 C

G                                    F              C
    You got to be the only one who knows just who I am
Em                                    F	
    You’re shining in the distance I hope I can make it through

Cause the only place that I want to be is right back home with you 


Verse 3:
                 C	             Am		
I guess there's so much more I have to learn
               F	 	                       G		
But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn

  Youuuuuuuuu are the only one who saved me
       G     Am	         F	               C
That's    whyyyyyyy I've been missing you lately
      Am	         G	       F   C

1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

School Friends

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us
