C                         F                 
So cold is the wind that blows your hair. 
C                          F
So warm is your touch upon my skin. 
   C                   F                   
How tired am I of being scared, 
   C                   F
but how awake am I now that I know you're here. 
                   C
'Cause I'd rather fight with you than laugh with another. 
           Am
I'd rather freeze in your arms than be warm under covers. 
F                                                               G 
 I'd let you hit me before I ever let you hit the floor. 
C
I'd rather choke than to breath in your absence. 
               Am
I'd rather feel your wrath than feel anothers passion. 
              F                                                     G
I'd rather die on the day that I give you a kiss than spend the rest of my 

life knowing I never did 
         C                                             Am
So just hold me and tell me that I'm everything you need. 
                                 F                                      G
Tell me that, that lonely little heart of yours that I've been dying for, 
                C
ain't out of reach. 
C
So if you're looking for some proof 
      
that there's a heart inside of me 
                Am
 than lace your fingers between mine and you will see it start to leak. 
         F
And I know you're not a crutch but I can hold you when I stand 
            G
'cause I am living for touch but I would die to be your man. 
       C
Let me look into your eyes 

like I am searching for your soul. 
        Am
Wrap my arms around your waist 

like it is dying from the cold. 
       F
Run my fingers through your hair 

like they are water from the drain. 
         G
Press my lips against your back 

like they could take away it's pain. 
       C
And to give you everything, 

there is nothing I wont do. 
        Am
Dump my heart into a blender 

just to pour it out to you. 
      F
And I know you're feeling tired. 

Just let me hold you for a bit. 
        G(strum once)                                              C Am F G C
Dive my face between your thighs until I cannot feel my lips. ohh
C                                  F
I know that you think I'm kind of odd. 
            C
But if your love was a mountain, 
                                 F
I swear that I'd climb to the top. 
        C                                                   F
I Would tell you "you're lovely and everything ill ever need, 
       C                                                     F      C
and id give you my all if you'd just come and stand next to me."

#To play in key, you will need a capo on the second fret.  
#If you choose not to use a capo, the song sounds just fine without it. 
#Although you will not be able to play along with the song.  

#In the song, you might notice that before he switches chords, there is a
#slight change in the chord.  
#You can achieve the same effect by using your little finger to hit an extra
#note on the A string while playing the chord. 
#For Em, hit fret 3; for C, hit fret 5; for G, hit fret 3; and for D, hit 
#fret 2.  (relative to the capo)

Well I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,
      G                                 D
Just enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.
          Em                       C
I've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken, 
        G                           D
Begging God to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.
         Em                             C
Broke my knuckles on the wall because I thought about the call 
          G                                     D
Where you said you'd always love me, do you not tell the truth at all?
          Em                              C
Well if I ever cross your mind, make sure you write down the times 
   G                             D
So I will know the moments I was eating you alive.


      Em                        C                 G
Now I lay here waiting with the hope that I might find some sleep

I need some sleep tonight,

Cause I've been waiting on your call but I know it will never come 
      D      Em
but I'm still waiting by the phone. 


      Em
And don't you dare, don't you dare, 
G      D
Say you ever loved me or even tell me that you cared 
  Em
Cause you knew what you were doing and you know just what you've done.
    G       D
How dare you say you miss me with your spit still on his tongue!
     Em
I am broken. I am beaten. I'm mistreated and I'm torn. 
     G    D
I am cold with no direction but I'm lost without your warmth. 
   Em
I'm trying hard to find some hope that I might get the chance to breathe.
    GD
Get off my mind, give back my heart and get the fuck away from me!
 Em
I know I couldn't give you much, but I know I gave my best, 
 G  D
You were always my princess, and now he's sliding up your dress
      Em
And I know I gave the world everything I've ever had,

You are the itch that's on my back.

You are the horrors of my past.

You are the chill that haunts the room. 
            Em
You are the creaking on my steps. 
        C
You are cancer. You are plague.
          G
You are regret. You are disease.

I wish that you would go away.

If I Tremble

F
I love to sleep cause I pretend that I'm dead,

But I hate waking up cause it's hard to forget,
Dm                                                 A#       C
That I've lost all control of this life I've held so dear.
     F
And I wait for the bus but I'm not on the bench,
        A
I'm just spread across the ground making friends with cement,
     Dm                                          A#     C
And I hope the bus won't miss me when it comes my way.
       F
Well I made a few jokes but they said they weren't funny,
  A
I tried to force a smile but they said it was ugly,
 Dm                                                 A#
I tried to make a friend but no one was a friend to me.
          F
Poured my heart to a girl and it went on the floor,
  A
I asked her what she wanted and she said she wanted more,
  Dm                                             A#
I tried to find a lover, all I found was an enemy.


           F
I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself,
  A
I don't make a sound by my eyes scream out help,
    Dm
And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
     A#
From thrusting my head straight through the fucking glass.
       F
And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
    A
And breaking my back to try to make them aware,
       Dm
That I'm more than depressed, and there time won't be wasted,
    A#                             C
But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.

                     F A Dm A# C

        F
Now I'm lost in this hole and I'm sure I am stuck,
      A
And I can't run away cause I'm lazy as fuck.
     Dm
So I sit on the floor and gather my thoughts,
            A#
And they're full of broken promises that only piss me off.
     F
Well I lost control when I only a boy,
    A
The world taught me angst when I deserved joy.
    Dm
Now I'm breaking down as I struggle to breath,
        A#                                     C
Cause I believe in a god who won't believe in me.

                    F A Dm A# C

           F
I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself,
  A
I don't make a sound by my eyes scream out help,
    Dm
And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
     A#
From thrusting my head straight through the fucking glass.
       F
And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
    A
And breaking my back to try to make them aware,
       Dm
That I'm more than depressed, and there time won't be wasted,
    A#                             C                       C
But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.

F           C                Dm   C
I saw you standing on that bridge
Bb            C                 Dm                C            
Right then I knew the life that I would like to live
F            C               Dm  C
Your frizzy hair tangled my mind
Bb           C                  Dm               C
Right then I knew that I would love you for all time
F             C                Dm  C
You ran your hand across the ledge
Bb            C                 Dm             C
Right then I felt that all my hunger had been fed
F               C                  Dm C 
You cracked a smile up towards the sky
Bb             C                 Dm            C 
That thought alone will keep me happy for my life 

           Bb
But I ask now...


Chorus:

Bb       C                F         C       Bb
How can angels fly when you're still on the ground
Bb                  C              Dm               F 
Cause I've been searching my whole life for you to turn my life around
Bb          C                                  Dm 
And now I don't know what to say because the pain won't go away
          F                         Bb              C       F  
And I've crying since the day that you took all my good away

Verse 2:

F             C            Dm  C
I wish I had never walked away 
Bb           C                   Dm             C
Cause if I knew you'd jump, I'd dive into that bay
F                  C                 Dm  C 
And I would have saved you from the cold
Bb              C                  Dm                 C 
Cause when you took that leap you stole my heart and soul

         Bb
So I ask now...


Chorus:

Bb       C                F         C       Bb
How can angels fly when you're still on the ground
Bb                  C              Dm               F 
Cause I've been searching my whole life for you to turn my life around
Bb          C                                  Dm 
And now I don't know what to say because the pain won't go away
          F                         Bb              C       F
And I've crying since the day that you took all my good away


Verse 3:

F             C             Dm   C
Your mother said you're up above
Bb            C           Dm              C 
And all you wanted was a man for you to love
F             C              Dm  C 
Well I just started breaking down
Bb            C                Dm             C               Bb 
Because the angel I'd been searching for had left me on the ground
              C       F
And now I'll die alone

The Day You Took The Good Away

Strum Pattern: DD UDU DD


Chords: Em9, C, Am, D, G


[Intro]
Em9, C x2


[Verse 1]
       Em9
Well I see you standing there

And your eyes are unaware
               C
That I've been staring at them all night

Wishing the brain behind them cared
          Am
About the way you make me feel

Or how your smile makes me nervous
           D
Or how the fact that you exist

Makes me feel like I have a purpose

            Em9
I'm sick of lying in your bed

While we're both laying down.
            C
You say you want me for a friend,

I hope you know I hate that sound.
      Am
But I will bite my tongue

Because I hate when you're pissed off
               D
But you should know I need your touch

Like falling rain on thirsty crops, but


[Chorus]
C        D               G          D        C 
Damn you stupid girl why won't you drop your guard?
          D                   G        D        C  
The space between our lips is bound to break my ever-aching heart
         D                  G            D           C 
And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you
More.
             D(Pause)          
So why won't you...   love me?

Em9, C 


[Verse 2]
       Em9
Well I hate your cigarettes

And the men that you go see
        C
Because one is killing you,

While the other's killing me.
      Am
But I know that you'll stay stubborn

'cause you know I'll stay alone
               D
'cause we both know inside your grasp

Is the only place I feel at home.
      Em9
Now I sit with my guitar,

Write you one more stupid song.
  C
I hate the way you make me feel

Like I'm doing something wrong
           Am
But you'll just have to deal

With all the things that I have mentioned
         D
And I'll hope this song is golden

Like the point of my intentions, but


[Chorus]
C        D           G             D         C
Damn you stupid girl why won't you drop your guard?
C         D                   G        D        C
The space between our lips is bound to break my ever-aching heart
         D                  G            D           C
And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you
More.
             D(Pause)
So why won't you...  love me?

1, C


[Verse 3]
             Em9
Well now the beat is done

And there is nothing left to say.
            C 
Pray to the god you don't believe in

That'll you'll love me someday.
            Am 
So when the years that go by

Forget how much I cared
            D 
Put in this song and sing along
                      C
So your heart will be aware


[Outro]
                 D          G          D   C
It's like giving up on everything that you believe
            D          G         D          C
To put your trust in a girl that stole your heart right off your sleeve
           D                  G            D           C
And I'm so sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you

More.
             D(Pause)          Em9(One Strum)
But you just won't...  love me.

             G                        A                     D

While their lips are moving mine are locked with your mouth
                                     Bm

So take my hand, I'll always try to make you laugh

I'll sing this lullaby while my hands rub down your back


      
        Bm                             D

             Bm                     G        A             D

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      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’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own

             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

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
