I am starting to sense your location
                         C#
You are somewhere in the attic
                           G#
Looking something close to tragic
                              C#
Knitting t-shirts on and your mattress
                     F#
I am floating on the stairwell
                         C#
With my toes grazing the cedar
                       G#            F#
Thinking softly what a tinder box we live in...
                                     C#
And what a flammable heart I've been given...


F                                 F#
You could be in several different places

You are somewhere in the basement
                           G#
Beating on a makeshift drumkit
                        C#
Songs that I can hardly stomach
                     F#
I am floating on the stairwell
                        C#
With my fingers shaking frantic
                       G#               F#
Thinking softly what a concrete mess we live in...
                                   C#
And what an icebox heart I've been given...

I am starting to sense your location
                    C#
In an old abandoned mansion
                     G#
In a country side of England
                           C#
Spirits trapped inside the linens
                            F#
And you're feeling quite at home there
                      C#
Also feeling somewhat lonely
                        G#            F#
No one sees you in your pixelated fishnets...
                          C#
And your black and orange barrettes...

Doing what I can to find you out...

Well I've been making
      G7
Some cold calculations
C                     D
Regarding our body heat
          Am
It's not easy --
        D
Believe me

      G            G7
You liken me to a vampire
                    C
My left hand was wearing
              D
fake plastic teeth
       Am
All winter

And taking you for all you were worth

     Am                     D
Well I'm afraid I'm not qualified

to do any of these things for you

Well I'm afraid I'm not gonna

give you back any of those kilojoules

The late nights and weekends
            D
Our hearts only run slowly
         G  
On the local track
    Am
So I've arranged for your
     D                         G
phobias to be performed by a string quartet

      G                     G7
You shoot me one of those glances
             C
I need to interpret
             D
I've been feeling
       Am          D
Well rested, and healthy

Well I'm afraid I'm not qualified
to do any of these things for you
And I'm afraid I'm not gonna
give you back any of those kilojoules
The late nights and weekends
Our hearts only go so slowly
On a local track
So I've arranged for your
phobias to be performed by a string quartet

Am                 C
October's got those orange eyes
    G         F
But somehow I still lost sight
Am                  C             G
When you lifted the lid off of my pumpkin head
    F
And kissed me goodnight
Am             C
Should it be a thorn in my side
   G           F
We never quite broke that horse
Am               C
She slept in the cul-de-sac right

Seven miles from my front porch

Am            C
Bundle up and come with me now
G                          F
Down the road where to the burnt down barn
Am              C
We could make a blanket of coats
    G                          F
And breathe our souls into the neighbor?s front lawn
Am              C
But oh god that look in your eye
G                 F
Trouble that does not search words
Am                 C
It sprung from the biblical vine
        G            F
And are waiting to return to the dirt

     Am              C
The stitches in your winter clothes

Your cello bows

We stole your hair to make them
       Am           C
We're sorry for the iron shoes
   G
We nailed to you
    F
And stuck you in the rain
         Am             C
And then you sprinted away
           G                  F
Sprinted away to where I don't know
Am                   C
God's moving in your bloodstream
          G                     F

Am                C
You swept all the red from my cheeks
  G               F
I didn't hear you come back inside
Am               C
And light up the gas in the den
    G                  F
And stand there in the thin winter light
Am              C
But oh god that curve in your spine
  G                  F
A question mark , A doctor sign
Am                C
was framed by the windowsill
        G               F
And you saw something I did not end that night
    Am              C
You saw something I did not end that night

G
And I could never tell as a kid 
G
What that window door went to
                   Bm7
Only told to stay away
Bm7
I almost had an accident at age 6
                              G
When I found the key in the attic
G
And now the smell of these wood frames
G                      Bm7
Is the only sense I've left
Bm7
So as you pull me from the bed
Bm7                            G
Tell me I look stunning and cadaverous


G Bm7 A

(Verse 2)
                     G
And since you are my friend
G
I would ask that you lower me down slow
G                              Bm7
And tell the man in the black cloak
Bm7
He doesn't need to trouble his good soul
Bm7                   G
With those latin conjugations
G
And if it's all the same to them
G                              Bm7
You should tell your gathering friends
Bm7
Please not to purse their faces grim
Bm7
On such a lovely Sunday


(Chorus)
G                                  Bm7
Don't fix my smile, life is long enough
Bm7                                      
We will put this flesh into the ground again

Do me this solid if you would pretty lady

I've prepared a light show, you could fake a melody

We could argue over where and when the cymbal hits should be

Every now and then she offers me a lemon Now and Later

If it gets to be too much then you can lend a helping hand

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
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


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
Stroll 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 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Fast Car

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.
