               Bm                                  G
You've got the words to change a nation but you're biting your tongue
               D                                 A
You've spent a life time stuck in silence afraid you'll say something wrong
   Bm                          G
If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song?
   D                A
So come on come on, come on, come on
             Bm                             G
You've got a heart as loud as lions, so why let your voice be tamed?
     D                                   A
Baby we're a little different there's no need to be ashamed
               Bm                                 G
You've got the light to fight the shadows so stop hiding it away
D                  A
Come on, Come on ___


Chorus:
        Bm            G              D                         A
I wanna sing, I wanna shout, I wanna scream till the words dry out
             Bm                  G                      D                  A
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid they can read all about it, read all about it 
Bm                   G               D                A
Oh__ ooh oh__ oh ooh oh, oh__ oh ooh oh, oh__ oh ooh oh___

At night we're waking up the neighbours while we sing away the blues
       D                                A
Making sure that we remember yeah cause we all matter too
       Bm                                  G
If the truth has been forbidden then we're breaking all the rules
   D                A
So come on come on, come on, come on
              Bm                  G
Let’s get the tv and the radio to play our tune again
          D                               A
It's bout time we got some airplay of our version of events
           Bm                        G
There's no need to be afraid, I will sing with you my friend

Come on, Come on ___



Chorus:
        Bm            G             D                         A

Read All About It, Pt. Iii

[Verse 1]

Am              D                         G
   I guess it's funnier from where you're standing
Am              D                        G  
  'Cause from over here I've missed the joke
Am              D               G
   Cleared the way for my crash landing
                  Am          D               G
  I've done it again, another number for your notes 


[Verse 2]

Am        D                      G
   I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate
Am        D                    G
   I'd be patient if I had the time
Am         D                          G
   I could stop and answer all of your questions
              Am                  D                         G
As soon as I find out how I could move from the back of the line


[Chorus]

               G
So I'll be your clown
          Em
Behind the glass
             Am
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny 
C      D
I would too if I saw me
            G
I'll be your clown
                Em
On your favorite channel
            Am
My life's a circus-circus rounding circles
    C          D
I'm selling out tonight


[Verse 3]

Am           D                      G
I'd be less angry if it was my decision
Am             D                      G
And the money was just rolling in
Am             D                      G
If I had more than my ambition
                      Am                         D                      G
I'll have time to please I'll have time to thank you as soon as I win


[Chorus]

               G
So I'll be your clown
          Em
Behind the glass
             Am
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny 
C      D
I would too if I saw me
            G
I'll be your clown
                Em
On your favorite channel
            Am
My life's a circus-circus rounding circles
    C          D
I'm selling out tonight

               G
So I'll be your clown
          Em

Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny 
C      D

I'll hold your hand and you'll, you'll jump right out
We'll be falling, falling
But that's okay

Would you let me see beneath your beautiful
Would you let me see beneath your perfect
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
Cause I wanna see you say
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight
Tonight, see beneath your beautiful
Oh tonight, we ain't perfect, we ain't perfect
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight

Am                        (G)       C
Rolling dice and staying out til 3
Am                        (G)       C
You won't ever find him being unfaithful
Am                       G               C
You will find you will find him next to me
Am                            (G)           C
You won't find him trying to change the devil
Am                    (G)         C
For money fame power out of grief

When the end has come and buildings falling down fast

When we spoilt the land and dried up all the sea

When everyone's lost their head all around us

You will find him you'll find him next to me

Never in my life have i met someone like him

I'm blown away by his love for me

If you ever wonder where it is you'll find him

You will find him you will find him next to me

Next to me ooh

Next to me ooh

Next to me ooh

You will find him you'll find him next to me



When the moneys spent and all my friends have vanished

And I can't seem to find no help or love for free

I know there's no need for me to panic

Cause I'll find him I'll find him next to me



When the skies are grey and all the doors are closing

And the rising pressure makes it hard to breathe

All i need is a helping hand to stop the tears from
falling



I will find him will find him next to me

Next to me ooooh

Next to me ooooh

Next to me ooooh

You will find him you'll find him next to me


Next to me ooooh

Next to me ooooh

Next to me ooooh

You will find him you'll find him next to me

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

Overreacting

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...

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.

repeats.
