G D/F Em7 Cadd9
Verse 1:
G                       D
He was the man of every hour
         Em7        Cadd9
He was a party all alone
              G           D               Em7     Cadd9
He'd give his jacket to a stranger in the cold
            G                 D
She was the beauty queen from dallas
                Em7       Cadd9
She could put a lion on a leash
     G            D
And before he knew himself
             Em7              Cadd9
She knew the man that he could be
Pre- Chorus:
                G      D
It's never that easy
                Em7   Cadd9
It never seems right
                   G
When careful meets carefree
            D              Em7                 Cadd9
And in just 4 minutes they knew each other for life
And he said
Chorus:
G                    D            Em7
“Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
Cadd9
you can let your hair down
G                   D            Em7
Alright Nikki, it's alright Baby tonight
Cadd9
You can take a breath now
G                D
If you only live once
             Em7
Stay in the clouds
           Cadd9
Never come down
Trust me

           G.            D
She was an Angel craving chaos
          Em7          Cadd9
He was a demon seeking peace
         G
But they were each other's
D                 Em7     Cadd9
toxic cure called codependency
            G                    D
He tried to dig his way out of a coffin
            Em7               Cadd9
'cause she smothered him with care
G                    D
Before they lived in castles
           Em7       Cadd9
They were dying on a prayer.
Pre- Chorus:
                G      D
It's never that easy
                Em7   Cadd9
It never seems right
                   G
When careful meets carefree
            D              Em7                 Cadd9
And in just 4 minutes they knew each other for life

Everyday was Halloween a reason to rebel,
She was wild, she was fine with being bitter all the time

I love her like rage, I love her like shame
I need her like a victim needs the plague
I love her like La La La La La La La La La La...

D
It's better to be warm,
          G                Bm
Than unprepared and caught outside
             A                     D
And caught outside with not enough on.
                 G
It's too cold to bear.
                Bm
I've got to go in.
       A         G
We've got to go in.

             D           G
We've got to bundle up tomorrow
        Bm     A        G
Because winter comes so hard.
             D           G
We've got to bundle up tomorrow
          Bm     A        G
It's only hours 'til it's here.

D                       G
She had a cold heart,
                 Bm
And a new scarf around her neck
   A                     G              D
Outside the church in the snowfalls.
             
Her hair was side to side and
G
Her mouth is open wide.
Bm              A                   G
Catching every snowflake as they're falling.

  D
So baby, baby.
G                      Bm
Tonight could be that night.
       A       G 
Let me see the smile,
                    D
Let me see that mark.
                         G
From that tree you slide into,
                      Bm
But still made you smile,
   A              G 
It still made you laugh.
 
          D              A
Oh what a day, oh what a day,
      Bm
To be remembered, 
      A                     G
To be remembered by you and I.
          D              A
Oh what a day, oh what a day
      Bm            A       G
To be remembered by you and I.

             (rest)       G
We've got to bundle up tomorrow,
        Bm      A       G
Because winter comes so hard.
             D             G
We've got to bundle up tomorrow.
          Bm    A       G       A       D
It's only hours til the snow is falling down.

I'm full of arrogance and uncertainty

Cause the only place that I want to be is right back home with you 


Verse 3:

I guess there's so much more I have to learn

But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

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’

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
