      Em
Daddy I'm not going 
to tell you that I'm sorry
            C
There ain't nothing you 
can do to change my mind
        D
I'm not here to know the 
things I can not do
               Am
We've seen the outcome of 
                    B7
the boys who didn't fly
             Em
That road outside that
you've been taking home forever
               C
that'll be the same road 
I take when I depart
               D
These charcoal veins that hold 
this chosen land together
              Am
may twist and turn but somewhere 
                B7
deep there is a heart


Chorus:
Em
  Playing with Fire
You know you're going 
   C
to hurt somebody tonight
           D
When you're out on a wire
               Am             B7
you know you're  playing with fire


Verse 2:
             Em
Perhaps this calling is 
the channel of invention.
           C
I will not blush if others 
see it as a crime
        D
However dangerous the 
road however distant
                   Am
These things won't compromise 
                  B7
the will of the design
             Em
Ten thousand demons hammer 
down with every foot step
             C
Ten thousand angels rush the 
wind against my back
     D
This church of mine may not 
be recognized by steeple
             Am
that doesn't mean that I 
                    B7
will walk without a god


Refrain:
                 D
Rolling river of truth
can you spare me a sip?
                     Em
The holy fountain of youth
has been reduced to a drip
                        C
I've got this burning belief
                G
in salvation in love.
                     C
This notion may be naive
                       G
but when push comes to shove
       D/F#      D
I will till this ground

You know you're gonna 
C               G    C G
hurt somebody tonight.

Out on a wire


Verse 3:
C                 G/B
  I might not get there
            C
This little town
this little house
                G/B
they seem to be leaning 
               Em     Bm D
in the wrong direction

I'm not afraid of you no more

Playing With Fire

G
The teacher had you write a letter, you were eight years old
           C
About the man that you'd become and the positions you'd hold
             D                       Am
But this was long before you and Jackie Geronimo met
       C               D
In the Prelude Park at midnight
Now when it came to bells and whistles, Jackie did not lack
And when she kissed you on the kisser, boy, you kissed her back
Now you tell her that you love her and she cuts you slack
When you drink with your buddies on the weekend

C                            G
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
               G           D/F#                    Em
You spend your whole life dropping nickels in the bucket
D             C
Wakin' up at dawn
          Bm                  C             Am
And while Jackie bestowed the joys of fingerlickin'

Verse 1:

F                C        F               C 
    Look back in silence,   the cradle of your whole life.
F                C       Dm
    There in the distance, loosing its greatest pride.
F                C       F                 C
    Nothing is easy,      nothing is sacred. Why?

    Where did the bow break?    It happened before your time.


Pre-Chorus:

There were people there, lovely as you've ever been.
Am                     G
Tonight.  Baby you can start again.
                F                        C            C/B
Laughing in the open air; have yourself another dream.
Am                     G
Tonight. Baby we can start again.


Chorus

F                  C           C/B
Only the young can break away, break away
Am                        G
Lost when the wind blows, on your own, ohh
F                  C           C/B
Only the young can break away, break away
Am                        G
Lost when the wind blows, on your own, ohh

                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
Am	         G	       F   C
You make it real for me

             C	             Am		
When I'm not sure of my priorities
               F	 	             G		
When I've lost sight of where I meant to be
     Am   F		            C
Like holy water washing over me 
Am	         G	       F   C
You make it real for me

Chorus:

  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
Cause you make it real for me 

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
    Everybody’s talking in words I don't understand
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
           D	                              G                                    
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
        Am         F		                   C
You always give me somewhere, somewhere I can run
Am	            G	       F   C
   You make it real for me 

Chorus:
    G	    Am	   F	             C
And IIIIIIIII'm running to you baby

  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
Cause you make it real for me 
Am	         G	       F   C

You Make It Real

G         Em		  
1) Almost heaven,   West Virginia,
2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.
	      G               D              C            G
     West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads


           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling 
 	       G                     D          D7    G
        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

       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
