G            Em              C/G                    Csus2/G   C/G
Tears falling slow. From the bridge into the river below.
        G               Em            C/G                     Csus2/G   C/G
In your eyes I start to see. A starry veil and the oceans of infinity.

[Chorus1]
Cm               D      G        Bm       Em        G    C
moon and stars above me mingle with the blood inside my veins.
Cm                D        G         Bm            Em         G      C
empty arms that should be holding me close through nights of winter rain.
        G          Bm        Em       G           C
and I'm trying to spell what only the wind can explain.
Cm                 D
It's colder than ever

coming down

[Verse]
                    G                        Em
Now I'm drowning in shallows, cause It's in so deep
             C/G                                 Csus2/G    C/G           
There's neon melting in the rain, I took too much powder to sleep
                G                       Em
When I hold you naked, when I hear your laugh
        C/G                          Csus2/G         C/G
I got a sword to stem the rivers and cut the moon in half..

[Verse]
we danced wild, kicked off our shoes
not a cloud in the the sky to confuse.
now the sky is cold and the sea is white
and there's nothing to be done except reflecting the sun
and scratching the mountain side

Coming Down

Intro: C  D  C  D  C  D  G  Em

C          D                C
This years love had better last
       D               C
Heaven knows it's high time
              D             G            Em
And I've been waiting on my own too long
C            D                C
But when you hold me like you do
            D
It feels so right
C          D
I start to forget
       G
How my heart gets torn
          Em
When that hurt gets thrown
        A                 C
Feeling like you can't go on


C       D                  C
Turning circles when time again
               D           
It cuts like a knife oh yeah
C      D              G             Em
If you love me got to know for sure
C            D                   C
Cos it takes something more this time
                 D
Than sweet sweet lies
C        D          G
Before I open up my arms and fall
       Em
Losing all control
      A               C
Every dream inside my soul

And when you kiss me
        G
On that midnight street
         Em
Sweep me off my feet
        A                  C
Singing ain't this life so sweet


C          D               C    D  C  D  G  Em
This years love had better last


C          D               C     D
This years love had better last
C               D
'Cause who's to worry
       G
If our hearts get torn
          Em
When that hurt gets thrown
          A                   C
Don't you know this life goes on

And won't you kiss me
        G
On that midnight street
         Em
Sweep me off my feet
        A                  C
Singing ain't this life so sweet


C          D               C     D
This years love had better last
C          D               C     D
This years love had better last
C          D               C     D
This years love had better last
C                          G
This years love had better last

This Years Love

-Verse 1
C                         F
Maybe that it would do me good
     F6                    G
If I believed there were a god
           G7        C
Cut in the starry firmament
                          F
But as it is that's just a lie
              F6           G 
And I'm here eating up the boredom
      Gsus4      C
On an island of cement
                          F
Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it
        F6             G
Open window and I'll steal it
     G7              Am
Baby like it's heaven sent
              G                  F   F
This ain't no love that's guiding me

-Verse 2 
Some days i'm bursting at the seams
with all my half remembered dreams
and then it shoots me down again
i feel the dampness as it creeps
I hear you coughing in your sleep
beneath a broken window pane
tomorrow girl i'll buy you chips
a lollipop to stain your lips
and it'll all be right as rain    Am
             G                  F    G  Am
this ain't no love that's guiding me
             G                  F    F
this ain't no love that's guiding me

C   F    G        C   F    G
no i-t a-in't no love     guiding me
C   F    G        C   F    G
no i-t a-in't no love     guiding me
C   F    G        C   F    G        C  F  G  Am
no i-t a-in't no love     guiding me

             G                   F   G  Am
this ain't no love that's guiding me
             G                   F   F
this ain't no love that's guiding me

on winter trees the fruit of rain
is hanging trembling in the branches
like a thousand diamond buds
and waiting there in every pause
that old familiar fear that claws you
tells you nothing ain't no good
then pulling back you see it all
down here so laughable and small
hardly a quiver in the dirt    Am
             G                   F   F finish -C
this ain't no love that's guiding me

Babylon

[Verse]
                        E     A         F#m            
     A       B
All of my senses overthrown      by the might of your skin
           E                          A    F#m    E  
           A      B
And the lamplight on your cheek bone ,    drawing me further in

[Chorus]
   C#m                          B
No sentence I can speak for the wonder so unique
C#m             B               A
Breaking like a wave upon the shore
E              A      F#m             G#m        
       E
Mercy me, I'm falling free, since you opened the door

[Verse]
                             E      A             F#m         
       E
See how the sky is made of sapphire,  the colours flowing through our hands
A           B             E
The moon is fire in your hair
A         F#m               E                   A    
   B
A million miles beyond what science understands

[Chorus]
C#m                            B
Smell that mountain heather, I don't remember ever
C#m              B       A
Feeling like this before
E              A      F#m             G#m        
       E
Mercy me, I'm falling free, since you opened the door

[Middle 8]
   G#                      A                 B                
     E
If every windowpane should shatter, if every wall should fall apart
         G#                             A
Well it might hurt a bit, but would it matter
          B              A     G#m
With this diamond in my heart

[Verse]
        F#m        E                     A
There's no need to nail it to the ground
   F#m     E                      A      B
No need to smother it with sense
     E                            A          F#m
Just listen to the rhythm of your heart that pounds
             E              A       B
And trust it all to chance


[Outro]
          C#m                            B
Cos we're standing face to face with the angel of grace
    C#m            B       A
And don't it just taste so pure
E             A       F#m
Mercy me, I'm falling free
E             A       F#m
Mercy me, I'm falling free
E             A       F#m
Mercy me, I'm falling free
          G#m           F#m
Since you opened up the door

Digging for kryptonite on this one way street

Only a man in a funny red sheet

Looking for special things inside of me

Lost chances

Cold storms

         G
Propping mountains up

On matchsticks

Dragging baskets

Full of bones

          G
And honey please don't stop
     D
Your talking

Please forgive me if I act a little strange,
C     Em              Am    G
For I know not what I do
C          Em                Am         G
Feels like lightning running through my veins

When you look at me that way

C       Em                  Am      G
Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow
C      Em              Am    G
Moving out across the bay
C      Em             Am      G
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
F                  C    G
Deep into some mystery

I got half a mind to scream out loud
C     Em              Am    G
I got half a mind to die

So I won't ever have to lose you, girl

Perfect summers night

Not a wind that breathes

Just the bullets whispering gentle

'mongst the new green leaves

There's things I might have said
       D
Only wish I could

Now I'm leaking life faster

Just the lights up bright baby

In the bay hotel
       G
Next wave coming in

Like an ocean roar
         C             Am
Won't you take my hand darling
         G
On that old dancefloor

We can twist and shout
      Am
Do the turtle dove

And you're the one I love

Gonna close my eyes
         G
Girl and watch you go
        F                 Dm
Running through this life darling
       C
Like a field of snow
       C
As the tracer glides
       G
In its graceful arc
       F                    Dm
Send a little prayer out to ya
           C
'cross the falling dark

Tell the repo man

You're the one I love

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

King Creole

C F G C

C
She don't like her eggs all runny
C
She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
    F
She looks down her nose at money
    C 
She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
G      
She's my baby I'm her honey
                       C    G    C
I'm never gonna let her go
C
He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
C
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
   F
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
C
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
G
He's my baby
G
And I'm his honey
                    C   G   C
Never gonna let him go
             F
In spite of ourselves
                             C
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
             G
Against all odds
                          C
Honey, we're the big door prize
             F
We're gonna spite our noses
                 C
Right off of our faces
                                    G
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
               C     G   C
Dancin' in our eyes.
C
She thinks all my jokes are corny
C
Convict movies make her horny
    F
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs
C
Swears like a sailor when shaves her legs
G
She takes a lickin'
G
And keeps on tickin'
                        C   G   C
I'm never gonna let her go.
C
He's got more balls than a big brass monkey

He's a whacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
F
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
C
Payday comes and he's howlin' at the moon
G
He's my baby I don't mean maybe
                    C   G   C
Never gonna let him go

              F
In spite of ourselves
                             C
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
             G
Against all odds
                          C
Honey, we're the big door prize
             F
We're gonna spite our noses
                 C
Right off of our faces
                                    G
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
               C     G   C
Dancin' in our eyes.
