[Verse 1]
G          C   Am              G
If I loved you, life would be easy
G            C     Am             G
There'd be no truth that I'd be scared of
G              C    Am         G
I could walk through every valley
G           C    Am                G
And you'd light me with all of your love

[Chorus]
G            Em       C             G
But I don't love you, not like I want to
G          Em     C               G
I don't love you and that makes it hard
G            Em      C             G
And every morning, I see how you watch me
G                          Em      C                    G
And each night I know you feel it and it just breaks your heart

[Verse 2]
G                C    Am             G
You'd make good money and come home early
G             C    Am              G
And you'd kiss me and hold me each night
G                  C      Am                 G
We would have children and they would be so beautiful
G            C    Am                 G
And we'd raise them and all would be right

[Chorus]
G             Em     C               G
But I don't love you, not like you need it
G            Em     C         G
I don't love you, good as you are
G            Em      C                   G
And when I kiss you, I know that you can feel it
G                    Em     C                     G
And I see it in your eyes, and it just breaks my heart

[Verse 3]
C                        D
I wish to God I could change it, darling
      G   F        C
Could make you the one
C             D
I will always have these regrets and wonder
G            F         C       D
What else I could have done, I will

G              C    Am             G
'Cause if I loved you, I could be happy
G             C     Am            G
I would make you the light of my world
G             C    Am                  G
I wouldn't wait, love, I'd marry you tomorrow
G              C     Am            G
And we'd make love and I'd be your girl

G             Em    C              G
But I don't love you, much as I want to
G             Em    C               G
I don't love you, no, it would be a lie
G                  Em   C                   G
And you deserve love, you're better than a good day
G             Em    C                  G
And you'll find it, but just not in my eyes

[Outro]
G                Em   C    G
'Cause it ain't here love, no
G                Em   C    G
'Cause it ain't here love, no
G                Em   C    G
'Cause it ain't here love, no
G                Em   C   
'Cause it ain't here love,
G         Em   C        G
And it just breaks my heart

If I Loved You

Verse:
C
I found a good woman, I found a job that pays
G
The tide comes in, I watch it all wash away
Am
But I’m keeping it steady, that’s just how I was raised
G
Head held up walking tall into each breaking wave

Pre-Chorus
                Dm                 Am          C       G
’Cause the devil’s in the details and he’s taking his toll
                Dm                      Am                     C                G
Sending good men down the foot trails of some lost lonely souls

Chorus:
                C       F              Am             G              F
And I say oh, oh                Rain don’t change the sun
Am              G                      C              F                 C
Jealous is the night when the morning comes,     But it always comes

Verse:
C
So I’m working the graveyard, I don’t sleep till it’s light
G
Ain’t calling in favors, I can’t swallow my pride
Am
And the bank’s on a mission, they want to read me my rights
G
But they ever show up around here, they’re going to be in for a fight

Pre-Chorus:
                Dm                  Am                 C              G
’Cause the devil’s in my hometown and I ain’t telling him no
                    Dm          Am                     C              G
’Cause it’s my family, it’s my love now, that I’m scared to let go

Chorus:
                C  F           Am             G              F
And I say oh, oh                Rain don’t change the sun
Am                      G              C              F
Jealous is the night when the morning comes
C                 F-C       F-C
But it always comes

Bridge:
C
Followed the track of my needle, Tried to be good to my people
                           F   Bb-F                             C    F-C
So why’s there no peace?                No break no relief

C
Can I be blamed if I’m angry?
C                                               F                         Fm
Can I be saved if I’m barely clinging to hope?  I’m clinging to hope

Chorus:
                C  F           Am             G              F
When I say oh, oh               Rain don’t change the sun
Am                      G              C              F                          C
Jealous is the night when the morning comes,    But it always comes

Ending:
C                       G/B
It always rains down on us
                Am                      G              F
And like an old dog lying by a new gravestone
                G    C
It’s still our home
                G - E7 - Am
It’s still our home

                Am              G              F
So if you ever feel like you are alone
                C-Cmaj7-C7   G                   C
After the night                 The morning comes

Morning Comes

Hey hey hey. Don't you want to love me now baby?

Hey hey hey. Ain't you thinking 'bout me?
B         C#m       B                  E

Ain't going well baby


E                               A
Ain't much room left baby 'tween these four walls

Our hearts have grown as heavy as cannonballs

I tried to love you babe and I'm trying still
                                B       E
I've always loved you babe and I always will


The neighbor's dogs are chained, they don't bark no more
Nothing happens here that's worth yelling for
But there'd be music babe if we ever walked by
You know we'd wake the world if we only tried, and I say

CHORUS


Your window's open babe, but your doors are closed
You want a breeze to sweep in and shake your bones
But the sky is clear as day and the air is calm
So come on out and play I'm not here that long

E A E A E

'Cause the times are tough now babe, but they're ours to own
Make the most of it or just stay at home
I've come by once and I won't be back again
Aw, who am I kidding babe, won't you let me in?

CHORUS

Hey, Hey, Hey

Verse:
C
I found a good woman, I found a job that pays
G
The tide comes in, I watch it all wash away
Am
But I’m keeping it steady, that’s just how I was raised
G
Head held up walking tall into each breaking wave

Pre-Chorus
                Dm                 Am          C              G
’Cause the devil’s in the details and he’s taking his toll
                Dm                      Am                     C                G
Sending good men down the foot trails of some lost lonely souls

Chorus:
                C       F              Am             G              F
And I say oh, oh                Rain don’t change the sun
Am              G                      C              F                      C
Jealous is the night when the morning comes,     But it always comes

Verse:
C
So I’m working the graveyard, I don’t sleep till it’s light
G
Ain’t calling in favors, I can’t swallow my pride
Am
And the bank’s on a mission, they want to read me my rights
G
But they ever show up around here, they’re going to be in for a fight

Pre-Chorus:
                Dm                  Am                 C              G
’Cause the devil’s in my hometown and I ain’t telling him no
                    Dm          Am                     C              G
’Cause it’s my family, it’s my love now, that I’m scared to let go

Chorus:
                C  F           Am             G              F

Am                      G              C              F
Jealous is the night when the morning comes

Bridge:

Followed the track of my needle, Tried to be good to my people

So why’s there no peace?                No break no relief

C
Can I be blamed if I’m angry?
C                                               F                         Fm
Can I be saved if I’m barely clinging to hope?  I’m clinging to hope

Chorus:

Jealous is the night when the morning comes,    But it always comes

Ending:
C                       G/B
It always rains down on us
                Am                      G              F
And like an old dog lying by a new gravestone
                G    C
It’s still our home
                G - E7 - Am
It’s still our home

                Am              G              F
So if you ever feel like you are alone
                C   G                           C
After the night                 The morning comes

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,

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

       Em                 A
       Its so hard for me stayin' here all alone, when you could be takin'
       A                Em                                             A
       Me for a ride... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away

Chorus:  Down by the ri-ver,  I shot my ba-by

 Em        A
 Ooh, Ooh, shot her dead


Verse 2:You take my hand I'll take your hand, together we may get away,

        This must madness is too much sorrow, its impossible to make it

        today... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away

              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

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.

             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
