Love Interuption

D                    A
I guess I should go to sleep
                             D
It's too hard standin' on my own two feet
                           G        A
Been walkin' too long on a dead end street
                       D
I guess I should go to sleep


                         A
I guess I'll take off my shoes
                       D
Head upstairs and then watch the news
                                 G       A
That's another way to lose these walking blues
                         D
I guess I'll take off my shoes


     G                       D
Well upstairs, upstaged, and upset
        A                    D
Keepin' quiet is probably my best bet yet
      G                          C           E
Cause I ain't managed to say the right thing yet
       A                         D
Well I guess I should go back to bed


                       A
I guess I should go to sleep
                             D
It's too hard standin' on my own two feet
                            G       A
Been running too long on an endless street
                       D
I guess I should go to sleep.

Freedom At 21

D
I had my dream
C
I held your hand
Bb                 D
On that broad avenue
D
We crossed the road
C
And never spoke
Bb                  D
To another as we flew
D
We left your man
C
Alone in drag
Bb                 D
Laughing there at us
D
A romantic bust
c
A blunder turned
Bb                  D    
Explosive blunderbuss

An ancient grand hotel of Persian thread and ivory
And when your man would turn his head I'd see you look at me
Pools of brown and sea of red
And demons in your pocket
That sang romance
Performed a dance
Inside of silver locket

Da da da da
Da da da da

A corner exit not tall enough to walk out standing straight
Designed by men so ladies would have to lean back in their gait
You grabbed my arm and left with me but you were not allowed to
You took me to a public place to quietly blend into

Such a trick pretending not to be doing what you want to
But seems like everybody does this every waking moment

I laid you down and touched you like the two of us both needed
Safe to say that others might not approve of this and pleaded
“So selfish,” then would be their cry and who'd be brave to argue?
Doin' what two people need is never on the menu.

Da da da da
Da da da da

G                        D                          G
Well I get into the game but it's always the same, I'm the man with the name
              C         D    G
Hip eponymous poor boy, poor boy
                                               D                           G
Call me whatever you may, I ain't stoppin' the train, I got a pill for the pain
              C         D    G
Hip eponymous poor boy, poor boy

      C                 G
And I know that I can't defeat you
                   D
Yeah but you don't worry now,
                 G
I ain't goin' to preach to you
               C
Well there you go
                              G
But I'll be going right there with you
                     D
Yeah wherever you'll be
                     G
You'll be lookin' at me

                                                  D                             G
So don't get out of your chair, put a bow in your hair, you might be makin' 'em stare
                         C         D     G
So leave the care to the poor boy, poor boy
                                                     D                     G
And that's the name of the game, keep on stayin' the same, ain't nobody to blame
               C             D    G
Nobody but the poor boy, the poor boy

      C                 G
Well okay, so you fell asleep today
                D                              G
What's funny to me though is that you did that yesterday
                    C                                         G
You might think I'm mad for doin' all the things that I don't need to do
                             D
But while you're laughin' at me
                         G
Well I'll be laughin' at you

                                               D                            G
So I get into the game, but always keep it the same, and I'll be usin' your name
                              C         D    G
And they'll be yellin' at me, poor boy, poor boy
                                                    D                           G
But I'll be happy for you, cause you got nothing to do, and I'll be singin' the blues
                       C         D    G
Walking around singin' poor boy, poor boy

    C                         G
Sometimes a cold shiver comes over me
                D                      G
And it turns me on when the song takes over me
       C                                   G
But alright, I can't fight if the odds are against me
                D                           G
But I can't sit still because I know that I will

                                                D                      G
And you'll be watchin' me girl, takin' over the world, let the stripes unfurl
                     C         D    G
Gettin' rich singin' poor boy, poor boy
                                    D                            G
And I'll be coming to play, I do it everyday, and the title will stay,
              C         D    G
Hip eponymous poor boy, poor boy.

Hip (eponymous) Poor Boy




This is my take on the unplugged takeaway session filmed at Château de Fontainebleau in 2014.

My oldest daughter helped me dial it in. Thanks, T.

G                          F                 C
  I was in the shower so I could not tell my nose was bleeding
G                             F             C
  Dripped down my body to the floor right below my feet and

That's right and take a part of you with them

E         G          A        B
              I'm hungry and the hunger will linger
              C                    D
              I eat sixteen saltine crackers then I lick my fingers

E         G          A        B
              Well every morning I deliver the news

              Garbage in garbage out, she's getting what she wants


E          G          A        B

              If I get busy then I couldn't care less what you do
E          G           A        B
              But when I'm by myself I think of nothing else

              Than if a boy just might be getting through and touching you

              Spike heels make a hole in a lifeboat
E         G          A        B
              Jumpin' and waving, I'm talking and laughing as we float
E         G          A        B
              I hear a whistle, that's how I know she's home
              C                    D
              Lipstick, eyelash, broke mirror, broken home

E         G          A        B
              Force fed, force mixed 'till I drop dead
E         G          A        B
              You can't defeat her, when you meet her you'll be what I said
E         G          A        B
              And Lord knows there's a method to her madness
              C                    D
              Bustin' those jokes as I float in a sea of sadness

              She doesn't know but when she's gonna sit and drink up a few
E           G          A        B
              I'm sure she's drinkin two, but wondering what for and who
E           G           A       B
              And I'm solo rollin'. I'm one side off the boat.
              C                    D
              Looking out, throwing up, a lifesaver down my throat

Not sure about the solo...

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,

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:

American Dream 

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
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

[chorus]

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)


A                       E
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]

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)

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 

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.
