They say everything can be replaced
C#m            Bm              A
They say every distance is not near

A                       Bm
all day long I hear him crying out so loud
C#m    Bm           A
crying cause he was framed and they say

I see my light come shining

Looking at himself but wishing he was someone else

Because the posters on the wall they don't look like him at all 
      E                              B                  
So he ties it up, he tucks it in, he pulls it back, and gives a grin 
Cm                             A                       E   B   Cm   A
Laughing at himself because he knows he ain't loved at all

He gets his courage from the can, 

It makes him feel like a man

Because he's loving all the ladies 
                                 E    B   Cm   A
But the ladies don't love him at all 
      A
Cause when he's not drunk 

He's only stuck on himself

And then he has the nerve 
                         E     B   Cm   A
To say he needs a decent girl 
E                              B
Looking at herself but wishing she was someone else

Because the body of the doll it don't look like hers at all
       E                                  B
So she straps it on, she sucks it in, she throws it up, and gives a grin

Laughing at herself because she knows she ain't that at all

And the next thing you know man 
                                  E    B   Cm   A
There just ain't no truth left at all 
               E
Cause when the pretty girl walks 

She walks so proud 
             B
And when the pretty girl laughs 
                      E    B   Cm   A
Oh man, she laughs so loud 
    E                         D
And if it ain't this then its that

She hasn't had a day to relax 
E             D        Cm         B          E    B   Cm  A          
Since she has lost her ability to think clearly

Well I'm an energetic hypothetic version of another person 
Cm                          A                    E   B  Cm  A
Check out my outsides there ain't nothing in here

Well I'm a superficial, systematic, music television addict 
Cm                          A
Check out my outsides there ain't nothing in

Here comes another one, just like the other one

Ab                       G
   Tied down against the tracks
                    Cm
Screaming in silent black and white
                               Fm
Why'd you trust us we are such villains
                        Bb
We would tell ourselves anything
                   A      Ab
we want to hear if we are willing
                G
To listen is to learn
                         Cm
Then too much is what we deserve
                                 Fm
And how come when we say that we do
                                 Bb
We don't, we pray to anybody you want
             A              Ab 
We won't, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
                                        Bb
But if we're the ones to blame then the fruit
                                Ab
Shouldn't taste so good we were used
                                   Bb
Used to thinking we got nothing to lose
                                Ab
We're losing everything but the truth
                           Bb
Is walking straight into a roadblock ending left here bending
Ab                                             Bb     A  
Your point of view was chosen by the serpent's ruse
Ab                        G
    With all its do's and don'ts 
                       Cm
The future is an empty promise
                            Fm
Unconcerned and so tired of waiting
                        Bb
We could sell it wooden horses
                       A         Ab
full of nightmares and when they open
                    G
This all might recompose
                             Cm
There's no going back to the good old days 
                                Fm
it's just a phase bring in some new life
              Bb                    A       Ab
Archaism is a dusty road leading us back to nowhere
                                        Bb
But if we're the ones to blame then the fruit

High Tide Or Low Tide 

A                            Bm               A
A billion people died on the news tonight
                             Bm
But not so many cried at the terrible sight
           A
Well mama said
                        C#m
It's just make believe
                                      Bm
You can't believe everything you see
                                       D           Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
        A                     Bm
On the news tonight

A                                    Bm           A
Who's the one to decide that it would be alright
                            Bm
To put the music behind the news tonight
            A
Well mama said
                                         C#m
You can't believe everything you hear
                              Bm
The diagetic world is so unclear
                          D        Dm
So baby close your ears
             Bm
On the news tonight
               F#m
On the news tonight
Bm                                 F#m
The unobtrusive tones on the news tonight
                  A
And mama said
E
Mmm

A                                                    Bm
Why don't the newscasters cry when they read about people who die
A                                                   Bm
At least they could be decent enough to put just a tear in their eyes
        A
Mama said
                        C#m
It's just make believe

You cant believe everything you see
Bm                                       D         Dm
So baby close your eyes to the lullabies
           A                    Bm             A
On the news tonight

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

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

There's a portrait

In a back room

Which I'll keep for days upon

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

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

What I'm thinking

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

To the girl you've fallen for

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.

A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]
