Blue Sky Noise

Circa Survive is an alternative rock band consisting of former Saosin vocalist Anthony Green and members of the now-defunct This Day Forward, including guitarists Brendan Ekstrom and Colin Frangicetto. Compared to the sound of Green's former group, the music of Circa Survive taps a different musical influence for Green, who cites Paul Simon, Dredg, and Bj&ouml;rk among later artists who have more influence on his vocal stylings in Circa Survive which are comparatively less aggressive, as well as his songwriting. 

Am      G      Cadd9
Up on a pebble driveway
F      
There sits a house
Am7          G
It's the loneliest place
Am      G      Cadd9
I haven't spent much time there
F
I wasn't allowed
Am7          G
It just didn't feel right


Am      G      Cadd9
If I open both of my eyes
 F   
I still see an empty place, so empty
Am7            G
But if I keep them closed
F                           F
Then there's still a chance, that something is out there


Am              G           Cadd9
But it's all built upon a burial ground
F
It just doesn't feel right
G
It just doesn't feel right


Am           G          Cadd9
I made a promise to you long ago
F            G             C
That I'd do anything to keep this  home


F          G         Cadd9
On top the frozen creek
Am         G         Cadd9
I would love to take you there
F          G         Cadd9
Swear it froze through me
Am         G         Cadd9    (F or Am if it feels right)
On top the frozen creek, oh!

Am      G      Cadd9

I can't get started from the part where I left off yesterday
Am                        Gm      F-Gm 
Should've spent my time a little wiser
Am                                     G       F-Gm
I sat alone guilty as sin waiting for words to come
Am                              Bm           C
From out of my head still making sense to anyone

Am                   Em
I can't wait to understand the reason

Get Out

# Capo on 3

Em  G6  Cmaj7  Am7 (3x)
          


Em                     G6
Scratched out a note I wrote for you
       
   Cmaj7
to wake and read

              Am7
and knowww that I was there once

Em                                G6                 Cmaj7
I knew that there was nothing that I could write to assure you 

   Am7 
of my return

    Em                     G6             Cmaj7
But all the paper said when I was done is doom
              Am7
do you still want me?
        Em                          G6                 Cmaj7
because Id be terrified if I had to leave this place today
          Am7
We havent saved the baby



Bm
        As I said 

my darling 
          Cmaj7               Bm
spring is constantly calling me
           Cmaj7                   Bm
and theres no place that Id rather be



Em       G6         Bm
   I     wont be angry 
D
if you have to leave, 
Em         G6           Bm
     but I wont be waiting
D           
for that day
Em          G6           Bm
    So dont say youre sorry because
D            Em
I wont believe 
G6       Bm    D
I wont believe you

Break:  Em G6 Cmaj7 Am7  x2 


 Em                          G6                  Cmaj7
I didnt see a sticker on the door when we walked in
               Am7
but I know its gonna cost us 
    Em                     G6               Cmaj7
the same amount of love it takes to get you through
       Am7
but it never moves you
Em                          G6                Cmaj7
Id be terrified if I had to leave this place today
            Am7
Its where I threw my love away
Em                              G6           Cmaj7
Then we saw a different side of Annie nobody saw 
             Am7
She tried to kill the baby


        Bm
and the earth and its skin will open up
    Cmaj7                     Bm
and birth out a perfect mirror 
          Cmaj7                Bm
that makes all our reflections clear

Em    G6          Bm
    I wont be angry 
   D                 Em
if you have to leave, 
      G6         Bm
but I wont be waiting
D
for that day
Em         G6           Bm  
    So dont say youre sorry because
D              Em
I wont believe 
G6         Bm   D
I  wont believe you

I will find a different way to say

You're gonna have to change everything you made

I would find a different way to go

There's no signs in life to guide you on that road

Make sure they understand

Intro: E  G#m  F# (x2)


G# 				   
Nothing new to say, nothing to report cause

    Fm      F#                 G# 
the future happened yesterday

G# 					   
If I could tell the truth, I would make you stay,

    Fm       F#                G# 
but forever seems so far away



CHORUS

E                    G#m          F# 
I fell apart in your arms for the last time,

           E 	       G#m 
and I felt free to do what I want,

               F# 
because of the things you told me,

               E                 G#m 
because of the things you told me, 

         F#               G#     
you told me, I felt free



VERSE 2

G# 				            
You could be the end of me, too many shades of gray;
          Fm                 F#                G# 
it's just another pointless game that we play




G# 					                  
I couldn't tell the truth, I'll never make you stay,
        Fm               F#                 G#

Am            E         Am                 E
Tripping over things unsaid in a constant motion
Am            E              Am               E 
I cannot recognize the truth  'cause it's unfamiliar
Am            E                    Am                  E
If you didn't have so much left to prove, would there be resistance?
Am              E        Am           E 
Kicking up this cloud of dust till it covers us
D                    E                  F                       G

 You get what you paid for

 We can't sell our Goddamn souls anymore, anymore

 Don't let them give you the run around again, again

Am E (x4)

Am      E           Am                       E 
No one hesitates to taste when they come and throw the feet down
Am                 E     Am        E
If you wanna make haste, keep your feet on the ground
Am                      E             Am          E      
I see you coming from a million miles away like a stampede of footsteps
Am                       E   Am       E
Kicking up this cloud of dust till it covers us
D                        E              F
You can't control what's happen to your heart

till you give it away - till you give it away



Em      G             C            Am 
So many words flooded in my vacant mind
Em        G                 C                 Am
So little space, too little sleep, too little time
Em       G             C          Am
Tripping over things unsaid in a constant motion
Em       G             C                 Am              D
I cannot recognize the truth 'cause I've never known it

I've never known it

I've never known it

The Longest Mile

From Circa Survive's third album  &quot;Blue Sky Noise&quot;. Set to be released April 20, 2010. 

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.

and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
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
when you wish you were someone else

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]
