Wax Wings

Joshua Radin is an acoustic singer/songwriter.  When close friend and actor/film-maker Zach Braff heard a demo of Radin's song &quot;Winter,&quot; he was immediately interested, and got the song onto the show Scrubs in the episode &quot;My Screw Up.&quot;  The song received an overwhelmingly positive response and gave Radin substantial exposure with the show's demographic. The songs &quot;Today&quot;, &quot;Closer&quot;, &quot;Don't Look Away&quot; and &quot;These Photographs&quot; were also used on the show.

Am  F           C      G  
   I should know who I am by now,
Am  F    C           G
   I walk the record stand somehow,
Am         F          C G
   Thinkin' of winter
Am           F                 C       G
   Your name is the splinter inside me
       C G Am G 
While I wait

CHORUS:
Dm             G
   And I remember the sound
C                    F
   Of your November downtown,
Dm             G
   And I remember the truth,
C                   F
   A warm December with you,
      G             C            F
But I don't have to make this mistake,
      G             C            F 
And I don't have to stay this way
                 C 
If only I would wake...

The walk has all been cleared by now
Your voice is all I hear somehow
Calling out winter
Your voice is the splinter inside me
While I wait

CHORUS

Am   G          F      C
   I could have lost myself
   Am         G      F       C
In rough blue waters in your eyes,
   Am G         C
And I  miss you still

Oh! I remember the sound
Of your November downtown,
And I remember the truth,
A warm December with you,
But I don't have to make this mistake,
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I could wait...

   And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel this way
G	D	   C	       G
    And I miss you more than I should
       C         G
Than I thought I could
Em           D/F#        C
Can't get my mind off of you

(verse 2)
I know you're scared that I'll soon be over it
That's part of it all
Part of the beauty of falling in love with you 
is the fear you won't fall

It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you

And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel this way
And I miss you more than I should than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you

(bridge)
Am		C
And I hate the phone
G		D
But I wish you'd call
Am		C
Thought being alone
G		D
Was better than was better than

And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel this way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you
(repeat)

Can't get my mind off of you
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way

Verse 1:
                          C
Let me tell you about the way I roam,
           F
I call the road my home
                C                G
So it makes the nights alone without you.
                        C
Though I've traveled a million miles
                           F
You're the only thing that makes me smile
                 C                          G   C
I think about my baby all the while I'm without you


Pre-Chorus:
C                       F
So so so what I need to know know know
              C
Is when I get home home home
                  G
Will you still be there?


Chorus:
C                    F
I've been around the way
                   Am
Been around but not ok
       G
Ah whoaaaa
                 C
Cos I missed you so
           F
I'm coming home
                Am    G
Just to let you know

That I missed you


# Repeat Intro


Verse 2:
                 C
The first time I met her
          F
I started feeling better
     C                    G
So I thought I'd let her in
             C
Now she's my everything
           F
The reason why I sing
             C
She turns my winter into spring
         G    C
When I'm near her


# Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus


Bridge:
F    G                Am
Every crowd I see your face
       G               F
I keep looking just in case

I've been this road before

               C                      G
Walk out the door, leave you on the floor

C                      Fmaj7
Sometimes, you run and hide

           C
Your foolish prides

               Am             G
What keeps me from giving you more

You stand before me surrounded by light

           C
Dressed in white

You throw flowers in the air this night

But the best thing  I can give to you

Is for me to go, leave you alone

  Am         G       C

Looks like the rains pouring down, its drowning me now

All I want is to come back home

C                               E
This old corduroy  coat is not keeping me dry

  Fmaj7                         G
But I can't think what else to try

That's why the best thing  I can give to you

Is for me to go, leave you alone

My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me

I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D

I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words

There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.

And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

No Bravery

           C
You got to stop once in a while
                    G
And shake off that face of yours
       Em                       Bm
Cause nothing comes easy no it just comes free
Em                                 Bm                 D
You could sing it better if you'd sing it for me oh sister


       G
Well I cannot claim this advice as my own

I learned it in the gutter one night coming home
           C                                                     G
She said "Don't you look ridiculous" I checked her out meticulously
   Em                                Bm
I would've stopped to argue but my teeth were broke
             Em                             Bm               D
I said "I'd love to contradict you but my life's a joke oh sister"


Chorus:

          G
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
          C
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
G
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
D
Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
C                                               G
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on

  
      G
Well I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she

And maybe this is just the way it has to be
          C                                               G
It's all based on speculation seems a crazy occupation to me
              Em                            Bm
And though I didn't much believe her I was bound to call
          Em                            Bm              D
I really didn't want to miss a single thing at all oh sister


Chorus:

          G
She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self

The books are on the table and the secrets on the shelf
          C
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
G
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
D
Some said she was saintly to some she was a swinger
C                                               G
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on

Chorus:

          G

And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go

C                                               G
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer come on
   D
I haven't seen her lately man I have to ring her
C                                                  G
Put your hands together for the acid jazz singer come on
