Verse 1
B5              B5/E          G#m7   B5/E
Heavenly Father, You always amaze me
         B5                 B5/E             G#m7   B5/E
Let your kingdom come in my world and in my life
    B5                 B5/E                     G#m7   B5/E
You give me the food I need to live through the day
       B5              B5/E                 G#m7      B5/E
And forgive me as I forgive the people that wronged me
G#m              B5/E      G#m7     B5/E        Bsus4  B5/E  G#m7  B5/E
Lead me far from temptation deliver me from the evil one
  B5                 B5/E            G#m7      B5/E
I look out the window, the birds are composing
      B5             B5/E           G#m7  B5/E
Not a note is out of tune or out of place
  B5                B5/E              G#m7   B5/E
I walk to the meadow and stare at the flowers
       B5               B5/E                G#m7  B5/E
Better dressed than any girl on her wedding day

Pre-Chorus
G#m7            B5/E
So why should I worry?
G#m7           B5/E
Why do I freak out?
          Bsus4      B5/E
God knows what I need
         F#     
You know what I need

Verse 2
    B5                    B5/E      G#m7    B5/E
The kingdom of the heavens is now advancing
  B5               B5/E              G#m7 B5/E
Invade my heart, invade this broken town
    B5                    B5/E       G#m7     B5/E
The kingdom of the heavens is buried treasure
          B5               B5/E             G#m7  B5/E
Would you sell yourself to buy the One you found?

Pre-Chorus 2
G#m7           B5/E
Two things You told me
G#m7         B5/E

Your Love Is Strong

~INTRO~

E C#m A E

~VERSE~

E
Grey skies and cloudy eyes and all the world is sympathizing

All the world feels sorry for the dreamer in your head

With white lies and alibis and all the world is terrified yeah

All the world is worried that the dreamer might be dead

~PRE-CHORUS~

C#m               A      C#m                A B
If today knows no justice better off staying maladjusted

~CHORUS~

E            B              C#m                  A
Sing to me a melody for the ones that will never win
E                 B                 C#m                      A  B
Songs of dreamers in between us the ones that will never fit in
A    B              C#m A       B               E
If today we don't belong let us sing tomorrow's song

~VERSE~

E
Back before the war began you and I were children then

We took our dreams and turned them in and traded them for guns

Everyday becomes a crisis left to our own devices

Traded in our dreams to fight these wars that can't be won

~PRE-CHORUS~

C#m                A   C#m         A B
If war is our only song I refuse to sing along

~CHORUS~

E            B              C#m                  A
Sing to me a melody for the ones that will never win
E                 B                 C#m                      A  B
Songs of dreamers in between us the ones that will never fit in
A       B              C#m A       B               E
Since today we don't belong let us sing tomorrow's song

A         E   A                 E
Dear blue sky are you afraid to die
A                  E             A       E
Do you fear you'll never see the morning
A                E     A                 E
And the twilight comes and you lose your son
A               E             A       E
Does it come to you without a warning

~CHORUS~

C#m                E   A           B
When the pain will stop how will I know
C#m             E                 A         Abm
When the carbon bonds that hold me start to let go
C#m              E     A             B
Is there someone buried beneath this skin
C#m       E             A   B
And is he free when I'm lost in my coffin

~INTERLUDE~

A E X4

A        E    A                  E
Dear moonlight when you shine at night
A                  E             A       E
Do you fear you'll use up your resources
A               E    A                    E
With the sun as king do you feel for it's string
A               E                A       E
When the higher powers run their courses

~CHORUS~

C#m                E    A               B
When the rain falls down what brings it back
C#m       E           A           Abm
Opens the resurrected clouds from white to black
C#m           E    A           B
It's a second birth under this skin
C#m   E  A     B
My coffin my coffin

~BRIDGE~

B  A  X4

~CHORUS~

Resurrection comes but death comes first
C#m          E              A                     Abm
All of our entitlements and rights will drive the hearse
C#m          E    A           B
I'm bleeding death death is unmade 
C#m          E               A    B
The minute I lose myself I'm saved from my coffin

My Coffin

Dm  Dsus2 X[2]

~VERSE 1~

Dm                                   Dsus2
Last night I had a dream that with a kiss
          Dm                              Dsus2
Under the moonlight you and I with lovers touch
    Em               A
And morning came too soon
  Em              A
I woke up without you

~CHORUS~

           Bm     G           D              A
And if you want me why do you look the other way
           Bm     G           D                  A
And if you need me why do you say the things you say
       Bm     G          D                 A
If you love me why do we play the games we play
        Bm          G          D            A           Dm
Am I in love with a dreamer or am I just in love with a dream

       Dm                                          Dsus2
When I dream girl you're the dream that might come true
         Dm                               Dsus2
When you dream girl do you even know it's you
Em                  A
Dreams are alive in skin
    Em                   A
But dreams can't tuck me in

~CHORUS~

          Bm     G           D              A
So if you want me why do you look the other way
       Bm     G           D                  A
If you need me why do you say the things you say
       Bm     G              D                  A
If you love me why would you play the games you play
        Bm          G          D            A           Dm
Am I in love with a dreamer or am I just in love with a dream

   Hey when you leave me
    Am                Dm           Am                        Dm   G

Dreamer

1st Verse:
 B              Bsus4         Eadd9    Bsus4
Heavenly Father, you always amaze me.
         B               Bsus4        Eadd9      Bsus4
Let your Kingdom come in my world and in my life.
 B             Bsus4              Eadd9         Bsus4
Give me the food I need to live through the day,
 B                 Bsus4               Eadd9        Bsus4
And forgive me as I forgive the people that wrong me.
Eadd9             Bsus4
Lead me far from temptation,
Eadd9    Bsus4    B        Bsus4      Eadd9 
    Bsus4
Deliver me from the evil one.


2nd Verse: (same as as first verse except at the end)
I look out the window, the birds are composing,
Not a note is out of tune, or out of place.
I look at the meadow, and stare at the flowers,
better dressed than any girl on her wedding day.
Eadd9     Bsus4
So why do I worry?
Eadd9       Bsus4
Why do I freak out?
       B            Bsus4
God knows what I need.
        F#m
You know what I need.


Chorus:
C#m
Your love is,
B   
Your love is,
Em          F#m
Your love is strong. (3x)
(note: chords in chorus are fingered the same as verse)


3rd Verse: (same as 2nd verse)
The Kingdom of the Heavens is now advancing,
Invade my heart, invade this broken town.
The Kingdom of the Heavens is a buried treasure,
Will you sell everything you are for what you've found?
Two things you told me,
That you are strong and you love me.
Yes, you love me.


Same Chorus:
Your love is,
Your love is,
Your love is strong (3x)

play chorus 4 times:
My God in heaven, hallowed be thy name above all names,
Your Kingdom come,
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread,
Forgive us wicked sinners,
Lead us far away from our vices,
and deliver us from these prisons.

end with B-Bsus4-Eadd9-Bsus (verse chords)

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

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

         D                 A                          
I'll confess tonight your all thats on my mind
        Bm            A                   D
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
Bm                       A

I think back to the nights I looked into your bright green eyes and you said,
    Em    A

D                             A                             Bm

D                    A
I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
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.
