Verse 1:
       E           E7          
I'm a poor, I'm a rich, 
     A               B
I'm a mountain and a ditch
     A                    B          
I'm a dagger and a shield,   
    A                B
I'm impatient, I'm a yield

Chorus                                                     
               E               E7                            
And I wanna be free, wind in my hair                       
           A              Am
Salt on my skin, sun in the air
              E                E7
I have to feel love, holding on me
             A              E/G#             B
I'll give you everything that you would ever need

          E            E7          
I'm the fight and the dance, 
A                  B
I am heartbreak and romance
A                       B             
   The feather and the stone, 
     A             B
I feel crowded and alone

               E               E7
And I wanna be free, wind in my hair
           A              Am

I have to feel love, holding on me
             A              E/G#            B
I'll give you everything that you will ever need

I wanna sit back and enjoy the view

B
woman my life has been surrounded by fences
    C#m                           D     A

We're at war again, save the world again You can 
                 Dsus4
all join in, but you can't smoke inside.
         Em7                   Cadd9
You said "Take me home, I can't stand this place.
G                                    Dsus4
Cause there's too many hipsters and I just can't relate"
         Em7            Cadd9
You're my neon gypsy, my desert rain.
          G                            Dsus4

Em7            Cadd9               G        
Soda kills you, Jesus saves On the bathroom

Em7  Cadd9  G  Dsus4
 

Em7                      Cadd9
Night sky full of drones, this neighborhood of clones.
G                                      Dsus4
I'm looking at the crowd and they're staring at their phones.
Em7                          Cadd9
They groom the coast line here, the sun will disappear -Oh God!-
G                         Dsus4
And maybe once a year, I think they'll clean my car.
    Em7            Cadd9
Caught my reﬂection, drop the call.
         G                Dsus4
I've been medicated with cigarettes and alcohol.
   Em7            Cadd9
I got vertigo, no I can't see straight.
    G                        Dsus4
I got obligations though I'm usually late but.

I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from

So many people gonna say that they want you....
                           Bb          C    Gm
To try to get you thinking they really care....

Gm                        Bb            C          Gm
Back your border when she knows someone crossed it....

Don't let nobody put you down who you're with....

Take the pain of protecting your name,

from the crutch to the cane to the highwire.

Through the valley of the love of the lost....

falling down from the thrones, without needing any windows.

But you found inner peace for the moment....

The moment was over in time....
                    Bb      C

  Hail to the light that my baby watches me
       G#              C#m          B             E
In the darkness of the window I can hardly get to sleep
E             B             C#m                   E

And the morning dew will bring us to a day our souls can last

          G#            C#m                  B                 E
Enough to see the bits around you, but it's never very bright
E           B                        C#m                   E
 Stare at a memory, you, through the grapevine, heard the truth

Restless minds; curtain calls follow fanfares
Troubled hearts; just a walk down the hall
Restless hearts; you take a punch just to land one
Troubled minds; it's only fair after all


E            B                 C#m        E
Mountain, the trail, but you've got it in sight

Sometimes the only way is jumping I hope you're not afraid of heights

 Reach in my pocket for a bill that isn't there

We're always on the longest yard,
Em                             C
Oh they feel their feet get cold.

G            D
Hiding here, hiding there,

Find them underneath the stairs,

People hiding everywhere,

Trying to be still like a stone.

You

You don't know how lucky you are

Hanging with that girl on your arm

But soon enough I'm taking my shot
 A
Bang

Once I get him locked in my sight

Doesn't mean I wasn't all right
F                            A
I'm just seeing something I like
Whoo-hoo

(Chorus)
A             G
I just wanna take
D                   A
Someone else's holiday
A                        G
Sometimes the grass is greener
     D                
When someone else's sugar
F                G
Someone else's sugar
   A  
Is sweeter

Maybe you just had too much fun
F               
Fell in love and think it's the one
A 
You're like an angel

Got me feeling like a devil
   G
I wanna give you something if
    F                       A
You promise that you won't tell
Whoo-hoo

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
A
I'm a recommend 
                                G
You take that body to the other end
                         F
I really like you but I can't be friends
                        A
Not with these hands of mine

(Repeat Chorus) 2X

Chorus
Em         C        G
      We belong together
Em	            C            D
      Like the open seas and shores
Em                  C         G
      Wedded by the planet forms
            Em        C     G
      We've all been spoken for

G                          
      The hammer may strike
Em                   Am
      Be dead on the ground

      A nail to my hand
C	
      A cross on his crown    

G	
      We've done it, but we're undone
Em			       Am
      Finished it, but we are incomplete

      As one we are everything
C		  D
      We are everything we need

Chorus

G
      What good is a life
Em			 	
      With no one to share
Am
      The light of the moon
C			  G
      The honor of a swear

      We can try to live the way in which you speak
Em				            Em
      Taste the milk of your mother earth's love

      Spread the word of consciousness you see
C		     D
      We are are everything we need

Chorus

(Same chords as chorus)

All this indecision
All this independent strength
Still we've got our hearts on save 
We've got our hearts on save

(Same chords as chorus)

Someday when you're lonely
Sometime after all this bliss
Somewhere lost in emptiness
I hope you find this gift 
I hope you find this gift
I hope you find this gift

We Belong Together

Chariot is a single by Gavin DeGraw released in 2005, taken from his 2003 album Chariot. It's believed the song addresses the overwhelming feeling Gavin felt when he moved to New York from his rural hometown. In the song, he is supposedly pleading for a chariot to come and take him home (i.e. "You'll be my vacation away from this place/ You know what I want").The single was another success for Gavin DeGraw and reached the top 40 of the U.S. Hot 100. It was certified Platinum. Read more on Last.fm.

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,

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

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

I know these roof top nights could last forever.
              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

Right now is all we have you better make this count

I think back to the nights I looked into your bright green eyes and you said,
    Em    A
lets run away.
D                             A                             Bm

I picked apart every word that you said

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

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.
