Am
Wolf mother, where you been?
C            Em         Am
You look so worn, so thin
Am
You're a taker, devil's maker
       C         Em          Am
Let me hear you sing, hey ya hey ya
Am
Wolf father, at the door
C         Em          Am
You don't smile anymore
Am                     
You're a drifter, shapeshifter
        C       Em             Am
Let me see you run, hey ya hey ya
Am                                 C        Em       Am  
Holy light, oh, burn the night, oh keep the spirits strong
Am
Watch it grow, child of wolf
C    Em      Am
Keep holdin' on

       Am                        C        Em               Am
When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
          Am              C           Em                     Am
Where the sun would set, trees were dead and the rivers were none
      Am                  C         Em                  Am
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
    Am                            C      Em           Am
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace

Am,C,G,Am (for all this)
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Ya.

Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taken, devil's maker
Let me hear you say, hey ya hey ya

Wolf father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shapeshifter
Let me see you run, hey ya hey ya

Wayward winds, the voice that sings of a forgotten land
See it fall, child of wolf
Lend a mending hand

When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set, trees were dead and the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace

Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Ya.

Intro: C  G  C  G  C  G  D  D

  C            G             C           G
At ten in the morning I was laughing at something 
C        G      D
At the airport terminal 
    C           G      C       G      C         G   D 
At nine in the evening I was sitting crying to you over the phone 
     C             G             C         G
While passing the border from a state to another 
             C      G                D
Filled with people whom I couldn't help to relate to 

And we stopped a while at a roadside restaurant 
Where the waitress was sitting outside smoking in her car 
She had that look of total fear in her eyes 
And as we drove away from there she looked at me and she smiled 

I keep running around, trying to find the ground 
But my head is in the stars my feet are in the sky 
Well I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl 
I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kii--ing of the world 

Interlude backing chords: G  C  G  C  G  C  D  D

And once you asked me well what's my biggest fear 
That things would always remain so unclear 
That one day I'd wake up all alone 
With a big family and emptiness deep in my bones 
That I would be so blinded, turn a deaf ear
And that my fake laugh would suddenly sound sincere 

Now I wasn't born for anything 
Wasn't born to say anything 
I'm just here now and soon I'll be gone 
I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl 
I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kiii--ing of the world 

[Interlude again]

Now every day there's a short intermission
While I sleep they start dimming the lights 
But I've seen everything I ever want to see 
Screaming "FIRE!!" in the theater, people taking their seats 
Watch it all go down like the stone in the stream 
You fall for your reflection, you drown in the dream 

Tell me something real, tell me something true 
I just want to feel there's something left that I can do 
But I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl 
I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kiii-ing of the world

[Another interlude, then the song ends with a G]

verse 1
         Em            G       D          Em
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
             Em                 G            Em
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
               Em             G                         D     Em
The fact that they'd been blindly to see by those who preach and pray and teach
         Em                  G                   Em
But she falls short and the night explodes with laughter


verse 1 continued
           Em            G      D         Em
Don't you come here and say I didn't warn you
          Em         G       Em
About the way your world can alter
         Em      G         D            Em
And oh, how you try to command it all, still
        Em                  G                   Em
Every single time it all shifts one way or another


chorus
           C         G               D           Em
And I'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
         C       G       D        Em
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
       C         G      D       Em
As we evaded and hollering for you
       C      G     D(STRUM ONLY ONCE) Em
And I never really knew, what to do


Em G D Em


verse 2
        Em                G               D          Em
Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
             Em        G         Em
That I could read you just like a book
       Em      G          D             Em
For now I can only guess what's coming next
   Em             G        Em
By examining your timid smile
         Em           G        D(STRUM ONLY ONCE)            Em
And the ways that the old, old wind, blowin' you back around


chorus
          C        G              D           Em
And I'm a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
         C       G         D     Em
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
        C               G     D       Em
Has me singing out and searching for you
       C     G      D(STRUM ONLY ONCE) Em
And I never really knew, what to do


Em G D Em

bridge
(NOT SURE ABOUT THIS PART)
Em           D            C                Em
Sometimes I wish I could find my rose mary hill
  Em             D           C                     Em
I sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I'd sing


          C          G        D               Em
And every once in a while I'd sing a song for you
           C               G                 D             Em
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
          C(STRUM ONLY ONCE)                        Em
And if I wanted it to, it would lead you back to me


chorus
(STRUM ONLY ONCE ALL)
        C      G         D       Em
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
    C             G       D       Em
Is something that I have heard before
   C          G         D       Em
a children's tale, the lonesome wail
Em   G    D           Em
of a liiiiion's roar


Em G D Em
Em G D Em

[Verse 1]
D                    G
In the morning on the train

D                   G
sitting and staring at the rain 

D        G               A  
or bury yourself in your books.

A                                                  D G D G
Don't look at no strangers, no don't give them any looks. 

D                                G
Well you ask yourself why you're so afraid, 

D                             G   
why you hesitate when someone asks your name. 

D                                 G             A
But they'll come too close if you tell them the truth. 

A                                     D  G  D  G
Who's to say they want something from you?


[Chorus]
Em               A     D              G   
Well your just a shell of your former youth. 

Em                   A       D          G                       D G D G
That stranger in the mirror, oh, that's you. Why do you look so blue?

[Verse 2]
Then the only man you ever loved, he thought was going to marry you, died in a car 
accident when he was only twenty-two. Then you just decided love wasn't for you. 
And every year since then has proved it to be true.

[Chorus]
Now your just a shell of your former youth. That stranger in the mirror, oh, 
that's you. Why do you look so blue?

[Bridge]
Em    A                 G      D
Maybe tomorrow you will make a change.

Em    A                      G        D
Maybe some day soon you will find the strength.

[Chorus]
Now your just a shell of your former youth. That stranger in the mirror, oh, 
that's you. Why do you look so blue?


This is my first tab so its not great and i'm sure its all totally right (espec in 
the bridge) but it sounds alright

verse:

G                  D
So you ask for my opinion

      C                G
Well what is there to say

G                      D
To be honest and just foolish

       C              G
Won't make you wanna stay

G                            D
You've got to go on and get moving

       C                 G
And I can't do that for you

G            D            C               G
Got so many plans and so much you want to do

Your delusion imagery

G                       D
Well I don't need your eternity
         C               G
Or your meaning to feel free

G                     D     
I just live because I love to

     C                 G
And that's enough you see

G                            D
So don't come preach about morality

             C             G
That's just human sense to me

And I'm already missing the summer

Stockholms cold but I've been told
             F        Am                         Bb         F
I was born to endure this kind of weather
                   F     Am                            Bb

 VERSE
Now so much I know that things just don't grow
If you don't bless them with your patience
And I've been there before I held up the door
For every stranger with a promise

But I'm holding back, that's the strength that I lack
Every morning keeps returning at my window
And it brings me to you and I won't just pass through
But I'm not asking for a storm

CHORUS

Dm      Am                 Bb           F
   And yes I might have lied to you
Dm                    Am           Bb                     F
   You wouldn't benefit from knowing the truth
Dm      Am               Bb           F
   I was frightened but I held fast
Dm      Am       Bb             F
  I need you now I don't last

All of these ghost towns I keep travelling through
Fmaj7             C                   G                     Fmaj7
All of these traffic signs and lonesome bars blindsiding me and you

And I swear I can be better

I could be more to you
Am                              Fmaj7
But there are things that lie in my path

That I just have to do

But I'll come back to you someday

Verse:
Fmaj7                       C             G            Fmaj7
And I remember how you told me all that you wanted to do
Fmaj7                        C           G                Fmaj7
That dream of Paris in the morning or a New York window view
       Am                      Fmaj                              
And I can see it now you're married and your wife is with a child
    Am                            Fmaj7        Am                      G
And you're all laughing in the garden and I'm lost somewhere in your mind


Chorus:
C
If you've got visions of the past
Fmaj7                   Am
Let them follow you down
Fmaj7                                C
For they'll come back to you someday
C                                    Fmaj7         Am
And I found myself attached to this railroad track
Fmaj7                              C
But I'll come back to you someday
     Fmaj7 C  
To you
     Fmaj7 C
To you
     Fmaj7 
To you
    C
Someday


Verse:
Fmaj7                G              C         Am
Maybe I should just turn around and walk away
Fmaj7              G                C           Am
For no matter how much I really do want to stay
Fmaj7                              G
You know I can't no, it's too late


Chorus:
C                                    Fmaj7         Am

Fmaj7                              C
But I'll come back to you someday

Ghost Town

Intro: Bm

Bm
 It's me, it's me, you've come to take
 My duality awakes
   G         D      A         D
 By midnight time I could not see,
   G       D      A          Bm
 If I were you or you were me

Bm
 We play the game with skillful hands
 And so I asked for your demands
     G        D          A       D
 Give me your love, give me your thumb
        G         D       A            A
 And he traced us back to where we begun

D
 So the morning came
G
 And swept the night away
Bm
 As I was looking for
   A
 A way to disappear
D
 Amongst the quiet things
G
 And all these empty streets
Bm                        A
 I found a way, I found a way
 To reappear...

Em             G
 I'll follow you
           Bm
 Where you go
Em            G
 Yes, I'll be there
            Bm
 Just so you know
Em              G
 I need your condolence
         Bm
 And your trust
Em           G
 But I won't ask
              D
 Won't ask for much

          Bm
 There's a heavy load upon our backs
 Of things we carry from the past
    G            D        A        D
 My guilt-filled mind, it tried to run
        G         D       A           A
 But it traced us back to where we begun

D
 So the morning came
G
 And swept the night away
Bm
 As I was looking for
   A
 A way to disappear
D
 Amongst the quiet things
G
 And all these empty streets
Bm                        A
 I found a way, I found a way
 To reappear...

Em            G
 I'll follow you
           Bm
 Where you go
Em            G
 Yes, I'll be there
             Bm
 Just so you know
Em              G
 I need your condolence
          Bm
 And your trust
Em           G
 But I won't ask
               Em
 Won't ask for much

           G          Em
 I'll only ask for so much
             G                  D         D
 No, I won't ask, won't ask for much

D(STRUM ONLY ONCE)
 So the morning came
G(STRUM ONLY ONCE
 Swept the night away
Bm(STRUM ONLY ONCE
 I found a way
           A(STRUM ONLY ONCE)
 I found a way
        D(STRUM ONLY ONCE)
 To reappear...

I Found A Way

G                 C
I met up with the king
Em               G
He confessed his body was burning
G                 C
I met up with the king
    Em       G
His body had begun to rot
       C    Em                  G
And he said don't think less of me
              C        Em        G
I'm still the same man I used to be
   
    C         G
But no one believed him
C         G
No one believed him

C  G  C  G  C  G

G                    C
I once knew a pretty girl
    Em         G
And she was in love with the world
G                     C
And she loved a young man
Em                     G
Who loved her body but never saw her mind
   C    Em                 G
He took everything she had kept
                 C          Em            G
And then he took everything else that was left

C          G
But no one believed her
   C      G
No one believed her

G                    C
I feel just like the king
     Em          G
As I fall on the muddy ground
G                    C
I feel just like you gal
        Em
There's people thinking
     G
They know something now
     C            Em          G
Well I don't know anything at all
            C
And we mean nothing to history
           Em   G
Well thank God

G          C          G
So tell me do you believe me?
C         G
Do you believe me?
C         G
I bet you don't
C         G
I bet you won't

I Met Up With The King

Intro: C  Fmaj7  Am   G

C                    Fmaj7
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers
Am                   G
In the parts we play to convince others
C                       Fmaj7
We know what we're doing, we're doing it right
Am                                                   G          
May have written books on the subject, but then you may still be surprised
C                                    Fmaj7
By your tone over the phone, to your sister while waiting in line
Am                       G
At the shopping mall just outside of town

C
Oh-hoo, 
Fmaj7
oh-hoo, 
Am
oh-hoo... 
G
Oooh

[Same chords as the last verse]
In the hands of teachers, in the books you read
The things we say when we've lost the lead
I still try to speak up, when my voice won't make a sound
And I thought it all over too many times
When there is no use, and the lights are all out
I just give it up, and I walk home 
Past the shopping mall that's just closing... Down

[Play this part 2x]
C
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Fmaj7
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Am
Oh-hoo... 
G
Oooh 

Am                            G
We tell yourself you are must be what you be
Am                                             G
Who's to say who is who and what is what if you simply don't agree, now
Am                           G
Time will come to claim you, and it will have its way
      Am       G            Am      G
Don't make no mistakes and don't regret
Am               G    Am      G
Don't waste the time that is left
         Am        G                 C         
And then do it all... With a goddamn smile

[Play this part 2x]
C
Laa-la-la, laa-la-la
Fmaj7
Laa-la-la, laa-la-la
Am
Laa-la-la...
       G
Laa-ah-aah...

C                    Fmaj7
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers
Am                   G
In the parts we play to convince others

Em                                        G                                   
I don't want to wait anymore I'm tired of looking for answers
D                                  Em
   Take me some place where there's music and there's laughter
Em                                                         G
   I don't know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of living too fast, too slow
  D                             Em
Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no I've got to go

Em                                    G
   There?s no starting over, no new beginnings, time races on
D                                          Em
   And you've just gotta keep on keeping on
Em                              G
   Gotta keep on going, looking straight out on the road - can't worry 'bout
D                                             Em
   what's behind you or what's coming for you further up the road

Em                                       G
   I try not to hold on to what is gone,   I try to do right what is wrong
D                              Em         
   I try to keep on keeping on    
G              D                  Em
   Yeah I just keep on keeping on


[Chorus:]
C                G        D                 Em   
  I hear a voice calling,   calling out for me
C                     G          D             Em
  These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
C           G       D           Em 
  Be it for reason,   be it for love
C   G     D          C G  Em

[Verse:]
Em                               G 
  I've woken up in a hotel room,   my worries as big as the moon
D                                       Em
  Having no idea who or what or where I am
Em                                   G
  Something good comes with the bad,   a song's never just sad
D                                Em
  There's hope, there's a silver lining

G            D        Em
  Show me my   silver lining
G            D        Em
  Show me my   silver lining

I won't take the easy road the easy road, the easy road      (oho)

My Silver Lining

C                    E
Let's not spill the truth
Am                  F
It's easier being alone
C                      E
You're a shadow of the old
Am                    F
And I want something new

C                    E
You've quit dreaming again
Am                  F
I can see it now clear
C                    E
But I wake up every morning
Am                  F
With the big black and the blue

Am
Let's take this for what it is
                       C 
You tell me you have changed
Am
Well we all change in our own ways
                    E
In our own pretty ways

C                E
Mmmm lalalalalalala

C                E
Mmmm lalalalalalala

C                    E
It all comes down to this
Am                       F
I'm an ocean, you're the rain
C                    E
The ice is melting fast
Am                                 F
But you're not pulling down the brakes

C                       E
You'll start drinking again
Am                 F
I can see it now clear
C                    E
How you'll wake up every morning
Am                       F
With a new bird in your cage

Am
Even the most peaceful town
                     C
Once was a battleground
Am
Well we all change in our own ways
                   E
In our own pretty ways

Am
Even in our police state
                     C
Someone dares to demonstrate
Am
Well we all fight in our own ways
                   E
But nothing ever change 

C                E
Mmmm lalalalalalala

C                E
Mmmm lalalalalalala

C                E
Mmmm lalalalalalala

C                Am  
Mmmm lalalalalalala

Our Own Pretty Ways

INTRO: G C Em A7 

G                   
Is it your fear of losing
C
That makes you go further
Em
What makes me wonder friend
            A7
Is how you get away with your lies
G
'Cause maybe you haven't noticed
C
That I appreciate your company
Em
And every time you have to go
           A7
I regret I didn't let you know
C
I could love you

G                         Em
And when you hung up the phone
G                  Em
I realized I was alone

D 
And I can't help it
C
You're just so beautiful
D
I can't help it
C                 G
You're so beautiful

G C Em A7 

G           
You may have seen the world dear
C
But you don't know me
Em
That's why all of this
           A7
Seems so absurd
G
I lie awake at night
C
Picturing me and you
Em
I wish I could make it
              A7
All clear you see
C

I want to be your appetite

I want to be your good dreams, your bad dreams

    C                    Am
The sun shone high those few summer days
C                  Am
Left us in a song, wide-eyed haze
Dm           G
It shone like gold
Dm           G
It shone like gold

But just as the moon it shines straight

So dawn goes down today

No gold can stay

No gold can stay

We're on our way through rugged land
C                       Am
Top of that mountain we wanted to stand
Dm            G
With hearts of gold
Dm            G
With hearts of gold

          C              Am
But there is only forward, no other way
C                                  Am
Tomorrow was your whole bad at the end of the day
Dm            G

And gold turns gray

All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge

Of memories where I can't get back

You're coming home on Monday, smelling Tangerine

They say that I should leave you

Yeah, go and find someone new

I can't make you laugh like Tangerine

And you say; "but I'm still here,
F                            C
that proves that I love you dear"

         Em            G       D          Em
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
             Em                 G            Em
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
               Em             G                         D     Em
The fact that they'd been blindly to see by those who preach and pray and teach
         Em                  G                   Em
But she falls short and the night explodes with laughter

           Em            G      D         Em
Don’t you come here and say I didn’t warn you
          Em         G       Em
About the way your world can alter
         Em      G         D            Em
And oh, how you try to command it all, still
        Em                  G                   Em
Every single time it all shifts one way or another


[Chorus]

           C         G               D           Em
And I’m a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
         C       G       D        Em
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
       C         G      D       Em
As we evaded and hollering for you
       C      G     D               Em
And I never really knew, what to do

[Verse]

        Em                G               D          Em
Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
             Em        G         Em
That I could read you just like a book
       Em      G          D             Em
For now I can only guess what’s coming next
   Em             G        Em
By examining your timid smile
         Em           G        D                              Em
And the ways that the old, old wind, blowin’ you back around


[Chorus]

          C        G              D           Em
And I’m a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
         C       G         D     Em
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
        C               G     D       Em
Has me singing out and searching for you
       C     G      D                Em
And I never really knew, what to do

[Bridge]

Em           D            C                Em
Sometimes I wish I could find my rose mary hill
  Em             D           C                     Em
I sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I’d sing
          C          G        D               Em
And every once in a while I’d sing a song for you
           C               G                 D             Em
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
          C                               Em
And if I wanted it to, it would lead you back to me

And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
    C             G       D       Em
Is something that I have heard before
   C          G         D       Em
a children’s tale, the lonesome wail
Em   G    D           Em
of a liiiiion’s roar

[Verse 1]
G              C           D          G
So you come on home, walk through the door.
C            D                             Em
She's in the kitchen searching through the drawers.
G               C                 D              Em
So you stop and watch her and ask what she's looking for.
G        C    D    G
She says she's not sure. 

G           C            D            G
And it gets late and you turn off the lights.
C           D                   Em
Her body so close to you in the night.
G                C                 D           Em
But you dare not touch her and you don't want to fight,
G           C  D  G
so you just say, "Goodnight."


[Chorus]
C            D      G       Em
This old routine will drive you mad
C           D            G         Em
It's just a mumble never spoken out loud
C                 D          G            Em                  
And sometimes you don't even know why you loved her.
         C           D                G
Well you look at her now, and you see why.


[Verse 2]
G                    C   D          G
And your youngest is out fighting a war.
C            D                    Em
But he won't say what he's fighting for.
G        D            C       Em
If he's gone because of war for you,
G          C  D    G
in which you rather true.


[Chorus]
C            D      G        Em
This old routine will drive you mad

It's just a mumble never spoken out loud
C             D            G                      Em
Sometimes you can't even recall the sound of his laughter. Oh well
C              D             G
did you ever really know the sound? 


[Break]

Sometimes you don't even know how you're still standing. Well she
C            D               Em
looks at you now, and you see how. Well you

Verse 1:

Am    D7       G            Em
Wanderers this morning came by
Am        D7        G              Fmaj7   C
Where did they go, graceful in the morning light
   Fmaj7   C
To banner fair
   Fmaj7      G
To follow you softly in the cold mountain air

Vers 2:

Am          D7         G            Em
Through the forest and down to your grave
Am        D7                  G    Fmaj7 C
Where the birds wait and the tall grasses wave

They do not

Know you anymore

C           Fmaj7  G

You tell me everything, anything true

Verse 3:

Am     D7       G         Em
In the town one morning I went
Am          D7     G            Fmaj7 C
Staggering through premonitions of my death
Fmaj7   C
I don't see

anybody that dear to me

Tiger Mountain Peasant Song

D Am G D
Oooh...


Am Em
And you said, "Don't give me nothing
you don't want to lose"
I said, "Darling, I'll give you everything I got
if I want them to choose"
Then I got on a plane and flew
far away from you
Though unwillingly I left
and it was so, so hard to do


Am C Em Am
The streets here at home had rapidly filled up
with the whitest of snow
And they don't make no excuse for themselves
and there's no need, I know

F Am G F
Now I miss you more than I can take
and I will surely break
And every morning that I wake
god, it's the same


C Em Am G C
There's nothing more to it,
I just get through it
Oh, there's nothing more to it
I just get through it


Am Em
It always takes me by surprise
how dark it gets this time of the year
And how apparent it all becomes
that you're not close, not even near
No matter how many times I tell myself
I have to be sincere
I have a hard time standing up
and facing those fears


Am C Em Am
But Frank put it best when he said
"You can't plan on the heart"
Those words keep me on my feet
when I think I might just fall apart


F Am G F
Now I miss you more than I can take
and I will surely break
And every morning that I wake
god, it's the same


C Em Am G C
There's nothing more to it,
I just get through it
Oh, there's nothing more to it
I just get through it
Oh, there's nothing more to it
I just get through it


D Am G D
And so I ask where are you now
just when I needed you
I won't ask again
Because I know there's nothing we can do
Not now, darling, you know it's true


D Am G D
Oooh...

To A Poet

VERSE
G                 C
On our last trip to the coast
G                            D
We watched the boats sail the sea
G                 C     G
"How effortlessly they float"
G              D       G
You turned and said to me

G            C  
And sedately I sat there
G                  D
In my quiet mist of rage
G               C    G
How I wanted to tell you
Am                    D
But I was hushed by my shame

CHORUS
Am                     D
So when the waves come rolling in
G                     C
Then I won't turn the tide
Am                 D
And in the line of fire
G              C
You'll set me aside
Am       D           G
So go on Richard let go

(SAME CHORD PROGRESSION FOR ALL ADDITIONAL VERSES HERE OFF)

And I can still remember
The laughter in a stranger's face
And the way you would tell me
To slow down my pace

See no living is that easy
No living is that fair
Of course I was going to lose you
Were you ever even there?

So when the waves come rolling in
Then I won't turn the tide
And in the line of fire
You'll set me aside
So go on Richard let go

That's what i'll have, staring at the seashell

with dark eyes and a hanging tongue
       Bb          F
It goes way bad, I never liked a sad look
C                            Dm            Bb   F     C   
From someone who wants to be loved by you, oooh oooh  oohh

Dm                      Bb
I'm very good with plants
        F
When my friends are away
           C                Dm
they let me keep the soil moist
                      Bb
On the seventh day I rest
      F
for a minute or two
     C                  Dm           Bb   F   C     Dm   Bb  F    C
then back on my feet to call for you oooh ooh oooh, oooh ooh ooh  ooh

Dm  Bb  F   C
    ooh ooh ooh
Dm                          Bb
You've got cucumbers on your eyes
        F
Too much time spent on nothing
C                       Dm
waiting for a moment to arise
                Bb          F
The face in the ceiling and arms too long
C                      Dm       Bb   F    C      Dm
I'm waiting for him to catch me oooh oooh oooh   oooh

When I Grow Up

intro: 
Am  Fmaj7  Dm  E (x2)


         Am               Fmaj7
Well you drove off in the summer rain
  Dm                  E
I waved to you like a sleeping dream
           Am              Fmaj7            Dm  E
Told me to stay callous if someone bothered me 
     Am                Fmaj7
"The Eiffel Tower, the marching band
    Dm                    E
But I'm sure you wouldn't understand"
       Am             Fmaj7 Dm E
I just hope you don't stay  gone

      Am  Fmaj7 Dm          E                   Am  Fmaj7 Dm E
Don't leave  ........ don't leave this world to me                  (x2)

  Am                     Fmaj7
I saw your mother in the department store
    Dm                     E
She looked innocent like a still-born
Am              Fmaj7           Dm  E
But all I could think about was the sting
Am                Fmaj7
Since you've gone nothing's been the same
    Dm                      E
The wind don't sing and the sky's so dim
Am            Fmaj7            Dm   E
I've seen her staring up to it saying

      Am  Fmaj7 Dm          E                   Am  Fmaj7 Dm E
Don't leave  ........ don't leave this world to me                  (x2)

Am       F      G        E
When the winter calls to war
Am       F      G            E
When the spring sets in once more
Am       F      G         E
When the summer starts to sing
Am       F    G              E
When the fall comes marching in

       Am  Famj7 Dm              E                    Am  Fmaj7 Dm E
You'll leave ...........  You'll leave  this world to me

outro:
Em   A
Aaah aah   (x7)

Winter Is All Over You

Am
Wolf mother, where you been?
C                   G              Am
You look so worn, so thin
Am
You're a taker, devil's maker
             C             G                         Am
Let me hear you sing, hey ya hey ya
Am
Wolf father, at the door
C               G             Am
You don't smile anymore
Am                     
You're a drifter, shapeshifter
          C                   G                   Am
Let me see you run, hey ya hey ya
Am                                                   C                G            Am
Holy light, oh, burn the night, oh keep the spirits strong
Am
Watch it grow, child of wolf
C       G         Am
Keep holdin' on
             Am                                    C                     G              Am
When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
          Am                            C                          G                    Am
Where the sun would set, trees were dead and the rivers were none
       Am                         C                         G                             Am
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
                 Am                           C                     G                      Am
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace

Am,C,G,Am (for all this)
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Ya.

Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taken, devil's maker
Let me hear you say, hey ya hey ya

Wolf father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shapeshifter
Let me see you run, hey ya hey ya

Wayward winds, the voice that sings of a forgotten land
See it fall, child of wolf
Lend a mending hand

When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set, trees were dead and the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace

Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Ya.

G 
Yeah you cooked his dinners
D                          Em
You raised his children and still
             G
He's not satisfied
G
He says I rather switch with you
D
You don't now hard it is
Em         G
To work from 9-5
G 
But he speaks with his eyes closed
D
And even though you're not all alone
Em                           G
He's never there to be with you
G
And you remember when you were young
D
When life was new and it was fun
Em                              G
Now every corner's filled with dust

D          C                  G 
But you're not coming home tonight

G
You just took the train
D
And you left without a wave
Em                                 G
Figured he'd never let you leave anyway
G
And now you're sitting in that train
D
Seeing life in a new way
Em                       G
And every forest sings a song
G
One for the heartbroken lovers
D
And one for the dreamers
Em                             G
And then there's one just for you
G
The wind's been humming on it all day
D
And the soil lies awake
Em                      G
Waiting for it's drum solo

D             C                    G
'Cause you're not coming home tonight

Em            A7
The ship is sailing
C                           G
I'll meet you on the other side
Em            A7
The future's unclear
C                          G
But hopefully it will be fine
D      C                    G
You're not coming home tonight

into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am

         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability

Get you wild, make you leave

till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave

I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Outro]
             Dm           F           A#
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Liability

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around

                                                     D
And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right

'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice

But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change

Somehow we end up on the same side

And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

Crash Years

Intro  D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away


Interlude   D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith
 
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Situation Number two

Its the only chance for you

Situations

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
