In A Perfect World

Love Like This

Growing up in houses just two minutes away from each other in Swords, a working class town near Dublin airport, Steve and Mark met aged eight, when they were the only boys in the school choir. Skip forward six years and they recruited Vinny,  also situated a stones throw away and together set about forming the first of myriad bands. The line-up for Kodaline was recently completed by the addition of bassist Jason Boland. The band's name, incidentally, means absolutely nothing for the moment they wanted something they could take ownership of.

                     F           G                    C

                                 F
 So I'm just waiting on fate to come...

 Walking on sand
            F                 G                 C
 Digging in caves to find the treasures of the land
                  F
 And if we find gold
                            C
 Well, we'll just throw it away
              F                C                G
 We can write stories bout the journeys that we made

 We could be big in Japan

 I'll be flicking stones at your window

 They said they'll keep me here

All I Want

A
We never had that much to do
                                     D
So we'd just lay around in someone's house
  E
Someday I'll have it all again
                   A
Just like way back when


A
Back then we'd sleep until the afternoon
                             D
Then we'd just get up and go outside
       E
Open a window, let the breeze blow in,
               A
Forget everything


    D                  A                   E           D
Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you
                         A                  E            D
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working
                  A
I hope that I can say
                     E      STOP
When all my days are done
                             A
We were just having fun


A
Well we'd go drinking in the afternoon
                                D
Lie out on the grass, and fall asleep
           E                  
Oh will I ever see that girl again?
                       A
The girl from way back when


A
Yea, we used to share a cigarette
                                 D
And t'row together everything we had
             E
And then go driving in my parents' car
                     A
We never strayed too far



       D                  A                   E           D
Oh yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you
                         A                  E            D
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working
                  A
I hope that I can say
                     E      STOP
When all my days are done
                 A
That I had my fun

D A E A E D

D                  A                E        E7
Those will be the days that I had my fun
    D                 A
Yea, time can move so fast
     E                E7      E
Some things are made to last
          D                A
Here's to you, my dear old friend
        E
From way back when


    D                  A                   E           D
Yea, those will be the days that I will be missing you
                         A                  E            D
When I'm older, when I'm gray and when I'll stop working

I hope that I can say

When all my days are done

  Broken bottles in the hotel lobby
F          C                E7              Am      G   F
  Seems to me like I'm just scared of never feeling it again
    C        E7         Am       G      F
I know it's crazy to believe in silly things

F             C            E7                Am   G       F
  But I only got myself to blame for it, and I accept that now
      C      E7            Am      G      F
It's time to let it go, go out and start again

  Memories, they seem to show up so quick but they leave you far too soon
    C             E7             Am     G      F
Naive, I was just staring at the barrel of the gun

Both in my heart is like love as refrain

But I know in my heart I can never go back
      C
To the way that we were on that runaway track

  C
I see in my soul and I know youre a lie
You told me I lose control
           F
Oh I didnt know
                 C
So just leave me alone

But why do I feel so old?
           Am-F     C

But then you do it
              F     C
And youre so alone tonight

     C
This heartbreak
Only choosing Gods word to save me
          F
Love is a battle oh oh oh
          C
Everybody cries

            Am          
Yea, but it all comes down to

When it all comes down to
   C

And if you're wondering why
The position in my soul
Now I feel so alone
                F
Like Im losing control
                C
But you're still young, oh yea

             Am-F    C
But why do I feel so old?

My first tab done by ear, I think this is close enough and sounds ok with the song.
Listen to the song to get the rhythm and that.

Brand New Day intro

[Intro]
Em C G 

[Verse 1]
     Em 
When we were young we were the ones
    C                                     G
The kings and queens, oh yeah we ruled the world
          Em 
We smoked cigarettes, man no regrets
     C                          G 
Wish I could relive every single word

[Pre-Chorus]
                      Em                           C 
We've taken different paths and traveled different roads
                    G                                D
I know we'll always end up on the same one when we're old
    Em                                     C                      G 
And when you're in the trenches and you're under fire I will cover you

[Chorus]
         C          Em 
If I was dying on my knees
                 G            C 
You would be the one to rescue me
       C                  Em 
And if you were drowned at sea
                G                 C 
I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe
             C 
I've got you brother
     Bm     Em 
I've got you brother
     G      C 
I've got you brother
     Bm     Em 
I've got you brother

[Verse 2]
   Em                             C 
Oh brother, we go deeper than the ink
                           G 
Beneath the skin of our tattoos
       Em 
Though we don't share the same blood
          C                             G 
You're my brother and I love you, that's the truth

[Pre-Chorus]
                       Em                 C 
We're living different lives, heaven only knows
                 G                                D
If we'll make it back with all our fingers and our toes
Em                C                             G 
5 years, 20 years come back, we'll always be the same

[Chorus]
         C          Em 
If I was dying on my knees
                 G            C 
You would be the one to rescue me
       C                  Em 
And if you were drowned at sea
                G                 C 
I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe
             C 
I've got you brother
     Bm     Em 
I've got you brother

[Bridge]
                          C 
And if we hit on troubled water
                   Em                D 
I'll be the one to keep you warm and safe
                           C 
And we'll be carrying each other
                 Em               D 
Until we say goodbye on our dying day
                     C 
Because I've got you brother
     Bm     Em 
I've got you brother
     G      C 
I've got you brother
     Bm     Em 
I've got you brother

[Chorus]
         C          Em 
If I was dying on my knees
                 G            C 
You would be the one to rescue me
       C                  Em 
And if you were drowned at sea
                G                 C 
I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe

[Break]
      C            Em 
Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
            G            C 
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
      C            Em 
Oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
            G            C 
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

[Outro]
             C 
I've got you brother
     Bm     Em 
I've got you brother

Brother

Em                C
You lift my heart up,
  G                  D
When the rest of me is down
  Em           C
You, you enchant me,
            G       D
Even when you're not around
  Em                C
If there are boundaries,
            G          D
I will try to knock them down,
 Em                 C
I'm latching on babe,
              G         D
Now I know what I have found,
              Em      C                      G         D 
I feel we're close enough, I wanna lock in your love,
              Em      C                    G         D 
I feel we're close enough, I wanna lock in your love, your love.

Chorus

(Em, C, G, D)

Now I've got you in my space, 
I won't let go of you,
You got me shackled in my embrace, 
I'm latching onto you.



I feel so en captured, 
You got me wrapped up in your touch, 
I feel so enamored,
Hold me tight within your clutch,
How did you do it?
You got me losing all my breath,
How did you give me, 
To have my heartbeat out my chest.



 Am
I'm latching onto you 
 D 
I'm latching onto you
 Am 
I'm latching onto you
 D
I'm latching onto you
 D 
I'm latching onto you

(Em, C, G, D)

Oh oh oh oh oh x4

Latch

E
Running through the heat heart beat
               C#m7
You shine like silver in the sunlight
                     E
You light up my cold heart

It feels right in the sun
E
We're running round like love is what we found and
C#m7
Nothing else could matter in our life
    E
But wait, but wait, but wait
                   F#m
The sun will stop shining soon
    A                   E       B
And you'll be dark in my life
F#m                 A         E        B
It's as simple as a change of heart
  C#m        A               E         B
A love like this won't last forever
              C#m        A               E         B
I know that a love like this won't last forever

But I, I don't mind, I don't mind at all

Step into the night life
It grows dark but you don't mind
Hiding in the back streets, yeah, you'll never notice me
All that I was thinking about was cleaning up my conscience

I got lost in the memory as it shakes up the corners of my heart
Was it my mistake?

Or maybe it was just as simple as a change in your heart
Mmm, just as simple as a change in your heart

A love like this won't last forever
I know that a love like this won't last forever
A love like this
A love like this
A love like this
A love like this
A love like this
Wont last forever

C

                               G
One day its here and then its gone
                            F
 How are you still holding on
                            C
 How are you still holding on

                                   G
 You've felt this way for far too long
                             F
 Waiting for a change to come
                               C
 You know you're not the only one


    F             C
 Life passes you by
                      F
 Don't be wasting your time
          C
 On your own


                          G
 You always try to see yourself
                               F
 Through the eyes of someone else
                               C
 Through the eyes of someone else

                                  
                                G
Too shy to say that you need help
                     F
 You and everybody else
                     C
 You and everybody else


    F             C
 Life passes you by
                      F
 Don't be wasting your time
          C
 On your own


    F             C
 Life passes you by
                      F
 Don't be wasting your time
          C
 On your own


Am                        F
 As your heart gets bigger
                         C
 And you try to figure out
                   G
 What's it all about

Am                      F
 And your skin gets thicker
                        C
 As you try to figure out
                   G
 What's it all about


C  G  F   C

    C             G
 Life passes you by
                      F
 Don't be wasting your time
          C
 On your own


                                G
 One day its here and then its gone
                             C
 How are you still holding on
                        
 How are you still holding on

One Day

Am                                 F
Touch gloves, yeah, it'll be alright
  Dm                               G
I always knew you had a heavy heart
Am          F
Brother, brother
Dm                                        G
You're taking me back to the start

Am                      F
I saw your face in a photograph
Dm                             G
Painting a picture of a better time
Am         F
Brother, brother
Dm                              G
You'll always be on my mind

Touchdown to reality
It's not exactly what you had in mind, oh
Brother, brother
Was it only a matter of time

Yeah, oh

Maybe you've gotta let it be
Maybe time will tell, maybe you will see, oh
Brother, brother
You really shouldn't take it too hard

Oh

F, G, C, F for the following:

How many nights do you lie dreaming
(Am)                                                (F)
I'm counting the days since you went away
(Am)                                         (F)
When I lost my heart, life lost all meaning
(Am)                                    (F)
What I would give to see you again

(F)            (Am)      (F)
I'll pray for you
(F)                   (Am)
Do you pray for me?
(F)            (Am)
I'll pray for you

(Am)                                                   (F)
And you slipped away from me without talking
The look in your eye was stronger than this
(F)                                               (C)         (E)
And I drink alone to stop me from weeping
(F)                                             (C)     
What's left of my heart is forever yours

Forever yours

I'll pray for you

I'll pray for you

I know I know I know I know

      Am         C/B            C
I can remember the good 'ol days
              F                   C
Where you and me we used to hide away
           F                         C                      G *
Where the stars were shining or the sun was blinding our eyes
    Am        C/B        C
Yea you filled up my glass
        F                        C
With promises that could never last
        F                  C                       G *
But I still find pieces of you in the back of my mind...

               F           
And all of the things that we once said;
               C                     G
Are not in my heart they're in my head
          F      
That was time to say goodbye
                 C                  G      *
Let's put it to rest yhea let it die...

Am                                 F              G
'Cause we don't - we don't need to talk about this now
                   C      C/B      Am
Yhea we've been down that road before
           F               G
That was then and this is now
Am                                F                 G
The crowds in my heart they been calling out your name
C                 C/B        Am
Now it just don't feel the same
           F                 G
Guess it's over yhea we're done

             Am         C/B         C               
I heard you made your way down town
      F                     C
To the place I been hanging around
      F                       C
I was looking for your face in the crowd
                            G *
But trying keep my head down...
     Am        C/B       C
Over time our wires crossed
         F                           C
When you changed and the truth got lost
 F                   C           
All the things I would change
                     G *
If we could only re-wind

                    F
You were a moment in life that comes and goes
             C                   G
A riddle a rhyme that no one knows
                     F
A change of the heart a twist of fate
           C               G  *
Couldn't fix it it's too late

Am                                 F              G
'Cause we don't - we don't need to talk about this now

Yhea we've been down that road before

My first tab so sorry if there are any mistakes.

Watch your step or you might fall
  Em
You act like you're a know-it-all 
              C                                  D                                G
Yeah I used to do that, I used to be like that, I'm still a bit like that 
  G
You might think you found the one 
  Em
Until your heart gets ripped and torn 
              C                                     D                                 G
Yeah I used to feel bad, I used to feel like that, still feel a bit like that 

                
C                     D                         G
 But I'm not searching for the answer 
C             D                    G
I'm not looking for the truth 
 C            D                         G
I'm just talking through a speaker
                       C                     D                    G 
Because that's all that I have ever learned to do 


G   
Use your mind and make it talk 
Em
Cause in this world it's all you got
             C                                  D                                G 
And we all fall down from the highest clouds to the lowest ground 
G
Loneliness is worst of all 
Em
When you got no one else to call 
              C                               D                                           G
Feeling kind of sad when the times are bad, the times are getting bad 


  C                     D                         G
But I'm not searching for the answer 
C             D                    G
I'm not looking for the truth 
 C            D                         G
I'm just talking through a speaker
                       C                     D                    G 
Because that's all that I have ever learned to do 



G
So watch your step or you might fall 
Em
You act like you're a know-it-all 
             C                                   D                                G 
Yeah I used to do that, I used to be like that, I'm still a bit like that

It's easy to get lost along the way
In a world that's never as it seems
Where people try buy and sell their dreams
Where people try buy and sell their dreams

Yhea.. that's just the way it goes;          |
Maybe you'll die young before you're old     |

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:

Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier

         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.

D                       A
Right now is all we have you better make this count

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