Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets

Greetings from the Side

Gary Jules (born in 1969 in Fresno, California as Gary Jules Aguirre) is an American singer-songwriter. He is best known for his cover of the Tears for Fears song Mad World, which was featured in the film Donnie Darko.  Gary Jules attended The Bishop's School in La Jolla, California. Some of his early projects/bands were The Ivory Knights, Our Town Pansies, Woodenfish and The Origin.  Jules started off his solo recording career with the debut Greetings From The Side.  Originally released by A &amp; M, this album slipped through the cracks  due to neglect on the label's part, and Jules was dropped.

Verses: Em G D A
Chorus: Em A

Verse 1:
All around me are familiar faces.
Worn out places.  Worn out faces.
Bright and early for their daily races.
Going nowhere.  Going nowhere.
And their tears are filling up their glasses.
No expression.  No expression.
Hide my head; I want to drown my sorrow.
No tomorrow.  No tomorrow.

Chorus:
And I find it kinda funny.
I find it kinda sad.
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had.
I find it hard to tell you
Cuz I find it hard to take.
When people run in circles it's a very, very

Em G   A
   Mad world.
Em G   A
   Mad world.
Em G   A
   Mad world.
Em G   A
   Mad world.

Verse 2:
Children waiting for the day they feel good.
Happy birthday.  Happy birthday.
Made to feel the way that every child should.
Sit and listen.  Sit and listen.
Went to school and I was very nervous.
No one knew me.  No one knew me.
Hello, teacher tell me what's my lesson?
Look right through me.  Look right through me.

Chorus

Em G   A
   Mad world.
Em G   A
   Mad world.
Em G   A
   Mad world.
Em G   A
   Mad world.
...And it goes on ad lib for a bit.

It’s the hardest pill to swallow.

Taking candy from strangers

C                     G
I could learn to play the game
Am                 F
I could learn to run the hustle

If I only had the brains
Am                 F
The money or the muscle

Falling  Awake

G                     C             G              C
Old man on a barstool watching TV
     G                   Am   	                    C             G
He got up and came over to sit closer to me
             G                 C                G               C
He said you look familiar to someone I knew
       G                       Am                                 C               G
But when we were your age we were older than you
G                 C              G            C
Jimmy was twenty and I seventeen
     G                        Am                 C                 G
To us there was nothing but girls and machines
G                 C                   G              C
Jimmy got married and I went to war
  G                        Am                       C          G
I still don't know what we were doing it for
                    G             C               G            C
But if you'll buy me a drink, a turkey on ice
          G                  Am                    C
Then I could give you some advice

CHORUS

                G   Am    C  
You just stay in the bar 
           G      Am      C
For as long as you can
              Em                   G
Cuz as long as you're drinking 
Am                                             C
You've got the world in your hand

              G                        C                   G               C
There's no shame in hanging your world by a string
        G                          Am                   C               G
You know there's no harm in not thinking a thing
       G                         C                   G                C
But trying to find a place for yourself in this world
           G                         Am                   C         G
Is like trying to make a wife of an American girl
          G                 C                 G         C
If you trade me a drink for a story or two
                     G                  Am                C
Then you'll know what you need to do

CHORUS
                G   Am    C  
You just stay in the bar 
           G      Am      C
For as long as you can
       Em           G
No love is for sissies
        Am                                       C
It's whiskey that makes you a man


                G                    C                    G               C
Now the old man got up Stumbled out in the street
           G                Am                         C              G
Been drinking all day and left his bar tab to me
   G                       C                 G              C
I didn't have the money to cover his bill
          G                 Am                         C                  G
But I found me a man looked like me younger still
                  G                 C                    G             C
And I said buy me a drink and I'll tell you a tale
                    G                    Am                   C
About the old man who taught me so well

CHORUS
                G     Am     C
He said, 'Stay in the bar 
              G     Am     C
For as long as you can
           Em                  G
Well I know you're a friend 
         Am                                         C
I can tell by the shakes in your hands


               G     Am     C
You just stay in the bar
            G       Am      C
For as long as you dare
    Em                    G
As long as you're tipping
           Am                                   C
Then you've got a friend somewhere

Queen of her mother's house

Mad World (intro)

&quot;Mad World&quot; was covered by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the film Donnie Darko (2001), achieving a second round of success almost twenty years after the original. While the Tears for Fears version featured various synthesizers and percussion, the Andrews/Jules version was stripped down; instead of a full musical backing, it used only a set of piano chords, a cello, and modest use of a vocoder on the chorus.

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#

Overreacting

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

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

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.
