F#     C#/F      Bsus2                         D#m7       F#
Your eyes, those curves, it?s like you?re from some other world

You walk my way, oh god it?s so frustrating.

So why do I disappear when you come near,
      D#m7            F#
It makes me feel so small,
F#   C#/F                 Bsus2
Why do I blow my lines, most every time,
            D#m7              F#
It?s like I got no chance at all,

I?d fly you to the stars and back again.
F#                   C#/F
  Cos everytime you touched my hand,
      Bsus2         D#m7                  F#
You feel my powers running through your veins
F#                 C#/F
   But I can only write this song,
       Bsus2           D#m7
And tell you that I?m not that strong.
F#             D#m7           F#               D#m7
Cos I?m no superman, I hope you like me as I am.

It aint no lie, I have to tell you how I feel,
But each time, I try it gets a little more unreal,
You say my name, oh god I can?t stop shaking,

So why do I disappear when you come near,
It makes me feel so small,
If I could read your mind,
Girl would I find, any trace of me at all.

Chorus:
F#                    C#/F
  If I could be your superman,

I?d fly you to the stars and back again.
F#                   C#/F
  Cos everytime you touched my hand,
      Bsus2         D#m7                  F#

World At Our Feet

Verse 1:
  B
I don?t think there?s a word I've ever heard
      E
That captures the innocence of you
    BE
And I wouldn?t want one too
B   E
And no, I wouldn?t want one too
              C#m
It?d be like smothering a star
Or covering a work of art
F#
Driving so fast that the view falls apart
      C#m G#m
Like I do
F#
Without you.



Chorus:
E  B
But im on my way home 
 E    B
And I'm worn to the bone
            E   G#m
And when my heart hits an all time low.
A
There?s something shining through
                    BE
I find the light in you
    BE
I find the light in you.


Verse 2:
B
I don?t think there?s a sun that?s ever shone
E    
Brighter than the radius of you
BE
And I wouldn?t want one too
        BE
No, I wouldn?t want one too
      C#m
It would be a far for ever tamed
A burn without the pain 
  F#
A heat that never warms the things 
         C#mG#m
Like you do.
 F#
Like you do.


Chorus


Bridge:
D
Take my hand and we can beat 
     C#m
This glimmer of a dream 
     B
Out from the corner
Oooooo
D
Please your fingers it?s a mind 
    C#m
And we can find a world 
E
If we believe it we can breathe it 
BEBE
Breathe it into life  yeah


Final chorus:
E B
And I'm on my way home
E B
I'm worn to the bone
E       G#m
And my heart hits and all time low
         A
There?s something shining through
E B
But im on my way home 
E   B
And im worn to the bone
    E    G#m
And when my hearts hits an all time low
 A
There?s something shining through
   B      E
I find the light in you.      (x8)

You don't know what you're missin' girl

# Intro: E  F#m  A
E                               F#m
She leaves just silence in her path
                         A
Short goodbyes and photographs
A                                                E
I took them with me on a plane from Appledorn to LA
                             F#m
This broken heart it doesnt hurt
                                   A
I still wear these memories on my shirt
A                                   C#m
From five days of summer in the rain.

C#m                           F#m
Now Im falling towards the ground
                           A
Its coming at me way too fast
A
You dont learn to fly
         B
If youre not prepared to crash

A                       C#m
Shes the sunlight in my eyes
F#m                      E
Shes a bittersweet goodbye
F#m
And I just cant tell you why
F#m                       A
I let her break my heart again
A
Those five days of summer in the rain

# Same chords for Verse 2 and chorus.
B               A
In the rain
A                                          B        A
Cause when it rains it sure does pour in Appledorn
A
She took the waves, She showed me life, 
A                           B    A
She showed me love, I had it all
                                              B   A
And all the time shes not around I want her more
         B
Shes so beautiful

Verse 1:
C                                              Am
When all that you?ve tried, leaves nothing but holes inside, 
C                                        Am
It seems like you?re wired, to stay here held in time,
                     F          G
Cos nothing seems to change, oh no.
                   F          G
No nothing?s gonna change, at all.
                     F                       G
I can see it in your face, the hope has gone away. 

Chorus:
           C           G               Am          F        G

So don?t walk away from me,
           F         G

Don?t walk away from me. 

Verse 2:
C                                   Am
Your feet are stuck, no they cannot move, 
                             F
Don?t tell me that they?re glued, 
              G    C
Sure they?re far from. 
C                                  Am
At home, at ease but give sometime to breathe 
F          G
Cos nothing seems to change, oh no.
                   F          G
No nothing?s gonna change, at all.

So don?t walk away from me,
           F         G 
Don?t walk away from me,
           F   G     C         Am  
Don?t walk away from me.

                   F  G
Cos everthing will be ok, 
                    F       G
I know that it?s so easy to say, 
                         F
But the pain inside will fade, 
                           G
Please tell me that you?ll stay. 

Chorus:
      C           G               Am          F        G

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#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

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.
