Level

Eli Young Band

Jet Black and Jealous

Life At Best

With roots firmly planted in the fertile musical soil of Texas, the Eli Young Band is a little bit country and a helluva lot of guitar-driven rock and roll. Their Carnival Recording Company debut, Level, finds them poised to bust out of the Lone Star State and bring their brand of music to a wider audience as they make inroads into neighboring states and the wider Nashville country scene.  The band was formed almost five years ago by Mike Eli who grew up just outside of Houston and James Young who hails from Irving, TX.

E C#m A B

Verse
E                C#m                 A                 B
I sit here in my bed, with you in my head, haunting my mind
E                 C#m                       A              B
I think of all we had, all the good and bad and all of the times
A                 B         A                          B            C#m
We'd sit down and talk, sometimes till three or four o'clock in the morning

Verse
E                C#m                      A                   B  
I live in misery, haunted by your memory, and the love that I felt
E                         C#m                    A                      B
Guess that was not enough, you fell out of love, something you couldn't help
A             B    A              B           C#m
I guess now I see; that's the way it's gotta be

Chorus:
E           B            C#m           A
Fates got a plan for us, even when our lives get rough
E            B         C#m       A              E
You make up, break up, you fall, you get back up
          B    A              B          C#m
Can't you see; that's the way it's gotta be

Verse
We run around these streets, looking for company, someone to hold
At the end of the night, we give up our fights, and go home alone
We give up on love, and we say we've had enough of the game

Chorus

Guitar Solo
E C#m A B 2x

Verse
We walk around in circles, were all just jumping hurdles, just trying to get by
We take life in stride, and swallow our pride, all to survive
Can't you see; that's the way it's gotta be

E           B            C#m           A
Fates got a plan for us, even when our lives get rough
E            B         C#m       A              E
You make up, break up, you fall, you get back up
          B    A             B A             B A              B          C#m
Can't you see; that's the way, that's the way, that's the way it's gotta be

Even If It Breaks Your Heart

Am               C                   G                Em
Give me skies of black and blue, the way you make me feel
Am               C                   G                  Em
Give me skies of green and red, cold winds that make it real
Am                 C              G                 Em
Storms are brewing deep within of hurt and loss and pride
Am                           C            G           Em
Its good to see the world in pain when I take a walk outside


CHORUS

When it rains, I don't mind being loney I cry right along with the sky
         Dm            F7                      C                  G
When it rains, I don't pretend to be happy, I don't even have to try
         Dm           F7
When it rains, some people get down, 
         C                     G
They're sporting a frown, so I fit right in
Am                   C                         G               Em
Yeah, the sun might brighten your day but if I had my way, I'd take the rain


I don't care about politics or the hypocrites on my TV
I'm not mad at the girl who left because she couldn't be with me
So make up your theories about the scandals and the lies
Start out depressed then everything comes as a pleasant suprise

[VERSE 1]
G
In one moment you gave it up
                                  C9
You decided that this wasn't love after all
  G
We showed the world we gave it a try
                              C9
It didn't work and God knows why
   Em                        C9
And now you're off to find someone new
   Em                      C9           D

We can't fight it or even deny it

I need every breath you breathe
                  C9
I still think its me

[VERSE 2]
You always said you'd end up alone
Never find a man of your own that's not true
High and low you searched everywhere
But along the answers been right there
In front of you for all this time
Was the man you'd always wanted to find

[CHORUS]
And I still think it's me
I still think it's me
I still believe one day you will see
That we can't fight it or even deny it

The stuff on the B and E strings was a little difficult to tab out.
It's essentially working off an E major scale on the B string with
the high e being a drone.

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#

You can get a big house and a faster car

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.

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.
