Intro:  A F#m D A

A                                   F#m
In the lamp light on Locust Street, with the party far behind
D                                      A
No sound but the beat of her heart and mine
    A                                          F#m
The smell of her hair was my first breath, and her lips were my first
kiss
D                                A
And my first step was a headlong dive

           E                            A                D
I couldn't keep myself from falling, so she taught me to fly
          A           E           D
And I was born in the summer of '75

A                                      F#m
In the morning light she wore my coat, and all I wanted to know
D                                         A
Was she trembling from the feeling or the cold
A                                      F#m
As the sleepy small town came to life, I saw the answer in her eyes
D                                    A
And knew I'd always have her hand to hold

    E                                      A             D
Now somethings don't need saying, you just feel 'em deep inside
          A           E           D
The way I felt in the summer of '75

    E                              D            A
Now all that seems like yesterday, how the time slips away
    F#m                 A
The blinding speed will leave you feeling cold
   E                             D               A
So when I feel the hands of time tugging at this life of mine
  F#m           D                E
I reach for the warmest thing to hold

A F#m D A

A                                      F#m
A light still shines on Locust Street, somewhere back in time
           D                               A
And I wake up to the beat of her heart and mine
    A                               F#m
And I reach out and touch her hair, just to know that she's still there
D                                  A
And the dream I had is still by my side

        E                                A                   D
I might not make church on Sunday, but I thank the Lord each night
           A           E           D
That I was born in the summer of '75
            A           E           D
Yeah, I was born in the summer of '75

Summer Of '75

Am                                   C
Been snowin all day when I got home 
   Dm                      F
The fire was out the cabin was cold
        Am                        C                       G
And I poured some stale coffee from the pot
        Am                      C
The longer I waited the snow got higher 
        Dm                            F
So I split some wood and built a fire
          Am                     C           G
If she told me she'd be gone I forgot

I'd seen it snow that hard before 
I couldn't see the cabin from the stable door
And that mare she always rode was in the stall
The law couldn't come till the weather broke
My heart was poundin in my throat
And I searched and called her name till it was raw

I never should have brought her here
Livin's rough this time of year
Tryin to keep food and fire till winters done
Sometimes she gazed across the plains
With a look that I couldn't name
And I'd wonder if she stay till springtime comes

I found her on the first warm day 
The rain had washed the snow away
Went for wood and lost her way back home
And I ain't the kind believes in ghosts 
But some nights I get pretty close
When the North Dakota winter moans
When the North Dakota winter moans  

North Dakota

Em  C  G  Em  D  G

G                      C
Pictures on the wall, bottle in her hand,
D                         C              G
Children never call, she misses her old man.
G                     C
Rain on the window, quite as a tear
D                           C                  G   
And if you never felt 'em, never know they're here.

    Em        C            G   
- Someone's cryin' in the hall.
 Em    C            D
Good Lord, help us all
 Em       C             G  C
While we try to stay afloat.
        Em           D      G
If you would, Lord, send a boat. -

G                    C
Holes in the wall, bottle by his bed.
D                   C            G
Holes in his past, empty as his head.
G                             C
He's younger when he dreams, he's older than his years
D                          C                   G  
And if he never wakes up, he'll know why he's here.

    Em        C            G   G
- Someone's cryin' in the hall.
 Em    C            D
Good Lord, help us all
 Em       C             G  C
While we try to stay afloat.

If you would, Lord, send a boat. -

G                                     C
The writing's on the wall, there's a bruise on his face.
D                     C            G
Daddy's come and go, momma's on a date.
G                           C
He's just cold and hungry, playin' ain't no fun
D                         C               G  
And if he ever grows up, he'll get him a gun.

    Em        C            G   
- Someone's cryin' in the hall.
 Em    C            D
Good Lord, help us all
 Em       C             G  C
While we try to stay afloat.
        Em           D      G  C
If you would, Lord, send a boat.

If you would, Lord, send a boat.

Send A Boat

G                        C                          G
Sit down, Mary, they don't know what they're talking about
G                      C           G
Sit down, Mary, it's only make believe
G                        C                          G
Sit down, Mary, don't say those things you're screaming out
         G           D
It was me, it was me
         G                    C                  G
It was me they saw in the liquor store that night
             G             C             G
And it was me with the gun on that cashier
          G/B              C              G
When it went off it was me that took flight
         G                                D
It was my getaway car they saw disappear

Chorus:
        Em                    G
Blame me if a crime's been done
                  Am              C
If they need a reason I'm the one 
        G
Blame me

      G              C           G
Yes sir, I left my wife Mary and her kids
     G             C                 G
Yes sir, I was a touch out of control
   G/B                      G                   G
I drugged and drank and gambled, well yes sir, I did
            G                            D
'Til there wasn't any money to send home



(chorus)

bridge: Am C G

         G                 C              G
What's that you say sir, there were witnesses
G                 C              G
Standing in the shadows that night
            G/B          C                  G
And that hold up man running from the liquor store 
       G                                 D
They say she looked exactly like my wife

F                                                    G
Sit down, Mary, they don't know what they're talking about
F                                  G
Sit down, Mary, it's only make believe
F                                                    G 
Sit down, Mary, don't say those things you're screaming out
                                  D
It was me, it was me, it was me,

(Chorus)

D   C              G
     Blame me

Blame Me

G Em D C               

G                                  Em        D     C
There ought to be a town somewhere named for how I feel
G                                            Em         D    C
Yeah I could be the mayor down there and say welcome to Sorryville
G                                         Em          D     C
It wouldn't be on a map nowhere you might say that it don't exist
A                                  C               D
But if you make enough wrong turns it'd be hard to miss
G                                               Em    D     C
There ought to be a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me
G                                        Em     D    C
I'd probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline
G                                  Em         D      C
Walk on over to the other side and there I'd light a match
A
And sit and stare through the smoke and flames
C                        D
Wondering how I'm gonna get back...

(chorus)
C               G
Why do I do the things I do
      Am                   Em
Was I born this way am I a self made fool
C                        G
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
  Am                   Em
I need your love but I break your heart...
      C                      G
And I know the words that'll bring you back
      Am                     Em
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
C                       G                 A
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
C        D          G   Em D C
It ain't easy being me

G                                Em   D          C
There ought to be a sideshow act for freaks like me
G                                            Em          D   C
Yeah I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee
G                                    Em          D      C
In a room with a big red button that says danger do not touch
A                                          C             D
Twice a day I'd mash it down and you could watch me self-distruct

(repeat chorus)

It Ain't Easy Being Me

D                                  G
HERE WE STAND IN THE MORNIN LIGHT, WISHIN IT WAS STILL LAST NIGHT
A                                   G                       A
THE GLOW OF FIRE LIGHT IN OUR EYES, HAVE NEVER TRACED A GOODBYE
        D                           G
IF THIS TRAIN STATION WAS OUR ROOM, THEN THE SUN WOULD BE THE MOON
    A                                G                              D
AND ALL OUR TEARS WOULD BE THE RAIN, I WISH THAT WAS THUNDER, NOT A TRAIN

CHORUS:
A                             G            D
WHILE THIS SOUTHBOUND CARRIES ME TO BIRMINGHAM
G                              A
ILL TAKE YOUR MEMORY WHILE THE RAILS TAKE ME DOWN
D                         G          A
BUT I LEAVE MY HEART WITH YOU, CAUSE I KNOW YOU'LL KEEP IT SAFE
                  D
UNTIL MY LEAVIN'S THROUGH

AND KEEP OUR PROMISE BY YOUR SIDE, AND LET OUR TRUE LOVE BE YOUR GUIDE
THROUGH THE MILES THAT LIE BETWEEN, WE'LL CLOSE THE DISTANCE WHEN WE DREAM
AND WHILE YOURE LYING IN THE DARK, AWAKEN WITH A GENTLE START
AND YOU HEAR YOUR NAME UPON THE WIND, IM COMIN HOME TO YOU AGAIN

REPEAT CHORUS

I KNOW YOU'LL KEEP IT SAFE
UNTIL MY LEAVIN'S THROUGH

'til My Leavin's Through

Am          C
I was 18 my brother was 21
Am                        C
One saturday evenin when all the work was done
   G                                  F   
We went down to the river we had some trot lines to run
Am                      C
My brother walter had a fight the week before
Am                          C
Knocked a boy named wilson through the pool hall door
      G                              F
They said you dont mess with wilson unless you want a war
Am                                 C
I put the boat in the water and i made the engine run
Am                    C
I loaded the lantern against the sinking sun
    G                      F
And my brother walter was loading his gun
    C        G        Am
And we went down the river
Am                                C
Down past the coal docks we were running our lines
Am                         C
Heard some drunken boaters racing up behind
        G                             F
It was wilson and his cousin they had trouble on their minds
Am                            C
They passed on by us probably going to tend their pots
Am                     C
We headed up the river with the fish we'd caught
    G                             F
But before we made the landing i thought i heard a shot
C    G        Am
Back down the river
Am                     C
My brother walter fell over the side
Am                        C
And i couldnt find him no matter how i tried
      G                                   F
And i looked along the bank but i couldnt find where they'd hide
Am                       C
They drug the river they searched it up and down
Am                            C
Couldnt find his body so they decided that he'd drowned
    G                          F
But i knew better cause wilson bragged around town
Am                                C
So one night i floated down right above wilsons shack
Am                          C
I hid in the woods untill i saw him walk out back
        G                       F
I put a bullet in his head and dropped him in his tracks
     C       G        Am
Then we went down the river
Am                               C
Down below the trestle where the water runs slow
Am                        C
I chained him to an anvil then i let him go
    G                 F
And five years later well i aint told a soul
Am                            C
And i aint done much fishin i hardly wet a line
Am                               C
The death of my brother is still heavy on my mind
          G                              F
I've been thinking wilsons cousin better find a place to hide
      C        G        Am         C        G        Am
Cause i'm goin down the river yeah i'm goin down the river

Down The River

VERSE 1

     C              G           C                G
Well I work for the city in the town where I grew up.
C                 G       Em                C
Some days I run a backhoe some days I run a dump.
                G           C          G
If I had other plans on my graduation day,
C                  G              Em            C
Then several years ago I guess I hauled 'em all away.

I did what your supposed to do. I bought her a ring.
                   G          C           G
He didn't have to ask us, but he asked us anyway.
C                 G                 Em                C
We stood up and said, “I do.” what else were we gonna say?

Well I'm thankful for the things I have,

And all the things I don't.
 D
I've got dreams that will come true,
    Em                 C
And I've got some that won't.
D                                   Em          C
Most the time I just walk the line wherever it goes.
      G         D                C                    G
'Cuz you can't hang yourself if you ain't got enough rope.

I mowed the courthouse lawn watched the prisoners walkin' past
                 G        C                  G
I'm happy to be working, instead of wearin' chains.
C               G           Em               C
Like my cousin Willy, he's locked up in the grange.
                       G
He's locked up in the grange.

CHORUS
           D
But I'm thankful for the things I have,
    Em                C
And all the things I don't.

I've got dreams that will come true,
     Em             C

And wash down all I'm missin' by hangin' around here.
                          G             C              G
Then I drive back to the trailer; I'll makeup with my wife.
  C                 G              Em              C
I kiss my sleeping children, and I get on with my life.
                       G
Yeah I get on with my life.

To say I'm comin home but I don't know when
Well I ran into daddy but it's been so long

Got the broken promises
Got the broken home
Don't break yourself on a
Heart of stone

Well I got drunk with daddy just the other night
He said "he was glad to see I turned out alright"
I hear people sayin "like father like son"
Don't think about it much but I worry bout it some

On a heart of stone
Don't break yourself
On a heart of stone

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change



[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                   A
(We don't even know, know, know, know, know)




[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

(Think that we'd be alright)

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine


[Chorus]

 N.C.                     D
(Oh)Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                  A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why

(But we don't even know why)

Crash Years

Intro  D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith
 
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
