Is it hard to work out what's real is the real over there
     D                    E        
More vivid than here ever feels

Am 
If you need somebody to love you
E                             D      E        
While you're looking for somebody to love


# CHORUS

Sweet love illumination sweet, sweet love celebration

It's a black pool, bright light
D                               E
Brighter than the light in your home well, you want to be loved

Auf Achse

Am
Although my lover lives
F
In a place where I can't live
C
I kind of find I like a
E
life This lonely

Am
It rips and pierces me
F
In places I can't see
C
I love the rip of nerves The
E
rip that wakes me

Am
So I'm dissatisfied
F
I love dissatisfied
C
I love to feel as though there's
E
more that I need



F           C
So come on home
F           C
So come on home
F            Am    F    Am     F    G
So come on  home


Am
You're where you want to be
F
I'm where I want to be
C
Come on we're chasing
E
Everything we've ever wanted

Am
I Replace you easily
F
Replace pathetically
C
I flirt with every flighty thing
E
That falls my way

Am
But how I needed you
F

VERSE:

C                 Bm
Eleanor put those boots back on
         C              Bm
Kick the heels into the Brooklyn dirt
  C              Bm          F#dim
I know it isn't dignified to run

           G           D
But if you run, you can run to the 
C            Bm
Coney Island roller coaster
G           D
Ride to the highest point
    C               Bm
And leap across the filthy water
C                Bm                      F
Leap until the gulf stream's brought you down
      G       Bm 
Mmmmm-hmmmm

CHORUS:

G                         Bm
I could be there when you land
G                         Bm       C
I could be there when you laaaaaand...

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:

Gm C Gm C Gm Em Am Em D

VERSE: (Same chords as before)

So Eleanor take a Greenpoint three-point(???)
Turn towards the hidden sun
You know you are so elegant when you run

Oh if you run, you can run
To that statue with the dictionary
Climb to her fingernail 
And leap yeah! take an atmospheric
Leap and let the jet stream set you down
Mmmm-hmmm

CHORUS: (slightly different this time)

G Bm G Bm

G                         Bm
I could be there when you land
G                         Bm
I could be there when you land
G                         Bm   C   Gm 
I could be there when you laaaaaaannd

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:

C Gm C Gm C Gm C Em Am Em D

ENDING:

   G                 D
So Eleanor put those boots back on
G                    D                 C
Put those boots back on the ground and run
             Em
Come on over here
C            Em
Come on over here
C            G     
Come on over here 

(And end on a nice C chord)

Eleanor Put Your Boots On

Em                                    Am
We stopped the time for Jeremy Fraser,he died of a lance of silver
Em                                    Am 
We stopped the time for Jeremy Fraser,he died of a lance of silver

C
Do you want to know how we stopped the time?
Am
There's no reason to know

Katherine Kiss Me

G
Katherine kiss me, slippy little lips will split me

                    Em               C                        D
Split me where your eye wont meet me yes i love you i mean id love to get to know you

Em                               Bm
Sometimes i say the stupid things i think i mean i

C                                 Gm C  Gm                     C   Gm     C
sometimes i think the stupid things mmm  oh and do you ever wonder how the boy feels

Katherine kiss me
Flick your cigarette then kiss me
Flick your eyes at mine so briefly 
Your leather jacket lies in sticky pools of cider blackberry

You glance a ricochet from every alpha male behind me
Eyes 
Like marbles on a washing machine
I wonder
How the boy feels

Katherine kiss me
In the alleyway by Jakey's 
Jack in the sodium light
Yes, I love you 
I mean, I- I mean, I- need to love

And though your opened eyes stare 
Bored upon the overflowing pipes above me
Tonight
I don't mind
Because I never wonder
How the girl feels

Katherine Kiss Me

Some miserable day, back in November
C				  Em
Newcastle is grey, as grey as the river
	 F		
But your eyes are bright with life
	   	   G7
And life is bright with you


C
I'm missing you
Em
I'm missing you
C
I'm missing you

I'm missing you


C					     Em
You're laughing again, I'm so glad that she met you
C					Em
As you start to explain something, I'm proud of you
      F	
But I forget all that, relax
	 G7
And just enjoy the fact that life is good

I'm missing you

C	Em	2x

C					   Em
So I'm trying to pretend you're out in the garden
C		
That you're about to walk in
			  Em
To wash your hands in the kitchen
		  F	
But she said your face changed
				G7
And your breath got slower and slower


Until there was breath no more

Wine In The Afternoon solo

G      Em
I found a love for me
               C                         D
Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead
                G                 Em
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
                   G                         Em
But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

               G                    Em
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds
                  C               G  D
I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime
               G                            Em 
Darling just hold my hand, be my girl, I’ll be your man
          C              D
I see my future in your eyes



       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D               Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D

Perfect

Sorry I couldn't figure out the chords in the original song, nor in the Kris Allen version, but here's what I wrote

Intro: Dm, Bb, Dm, C
 
Dm
In the night I hear 'em talk,

Bb
The coldest story ever told,

Dm
Somewhere far along this road

C
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?

Dm, Bb, Dm, C (it continues like this for the rest of the song, the rest is just the lyrics)

How could you be so,
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me yo
You need to watch the way you talking to me you know
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain't told me
And yo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back
And you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


How could you be so Dr. Evil
You're bringing out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't gonna speak so why we up 3 a.m. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me for, homie I don't know she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up cause I already know how this thing goes,
You run and tell your friends that you're leavin' me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see,
You'll never find nobody better than me

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk,
Baby lets just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
and you can't make it right
Im gon' take off tonight
Into the night...

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?

Heartless

Chocolate

[Intro]
C          Em                  Am              F
Feels like,  I'm standing in a timeless dream
  C         Em               Am    F
A light mist   of pale amber rose
C          Em              Am            F
Feels like,  I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Am       G            F
Touching,  discovering you


[Verse 1]
C           Em                  Am              F
Those days,  of warm rains come rushing back to me
         C        Em              Am   F
Miles of windless,   summer night air
       C       Em             Am              F
Secret moments,   shot in the heat of the afternoon
           C        Em             Am     F
Out of the stillness,   soft spoken words


[Chorus]
C
I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you

C
I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you


[Verse 2]
C         Em                       Am             F
You've got,  the most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen
C         Em                   Am    F
You've got, me almost melting away
      C        Em                      Am           F
As we lay there,   under a blue sky of pure white stars
          C        Em             Am    F
It's like sweetness,  and magical time


[Chorus]
C
I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you

C
I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you


[Bridge]

Say you'll love love me forever

Never stop, not for whatever

       In a Manner of speaking 
                     Am/G
I just want to say
                    Am/G                 F
That I could never forget the way
                      Dm
You told me everything
                  E7/G#
By saying nothing

Am                              Am
        In a manner of speaking
                  Am/G
I don't understand
                  Am/G                           F
How love in silence becomes reprimand
                            Dm
But the way that i feel about you
     E7/G# 
Is beyond words

  Am               Am/G
O give me the words
                      F                  Dm

O give me the words
                      F                  Dm
Give me the words
                   E7/G#
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrified
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.

O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
O give me the words...
Give me the words
Give me the words

best with Low G
