G                         Em
When the streetlights come on,
                              Am
the pooling light is leveed aside
                   C                       Em
And pressed in twilight against our two rooms.
                Cmaj7
I'll see you tonight.
                  G                    Em
The pavement is aching, cicadas are crying,
                 Am                                  C
the wine-colored air breathing thoughts through your hair,
            Em               Cmaj7
breezing to me, leading me there...

[Chorus]
Em       C             G       Cmaj7
I come alive as the shadows parade.
Em              C              G             Cmaj7
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves.
Em              C            G     Cmaj7               Cmaj7
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say.

 - Same progression continues through song. -

[Verse]
And I find you, twilit beyond all the cars.
In driveways they sleep, but streetlights will keep watch over me.
They flickers like stars.
And now the secrets carefully kept inside run the streets red,
Our chemicals spread, washing us through, making you mine...

[Chorus]
I come alive as the shadows parade.
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves.
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say.
[Break]

[Verse]
Now therea re no words, only the glow in our wires.
And so we will be, you turn slow to me...
Our lips set the sun... (I'll never leave you...)
The hills are on fire... Oh...

[Chorus]
I come alive as the shadows parade.
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves.
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say.

Streetlights

My ancestors planted some sequoias by a road
     Am                                C
I've driven down that road since I was born
   F                           C
Oh never have you ever seen so many perfect evergreens
Am                    G                 C
But I would chop them all down just for you


C                
I have walked a million miles in a hundred pairs of shoes
   Am                       C
In search of some universal truth
F                                C
Well a deity just came to me and handed me a scroll to read
Am                G             C
And I will gladly pass it on to you


Am  G  F
Oh, Oh, Anything for you
Am  G  F
Oh, Oh, All of this is true
Am      G               C            F
But the best story that I could ever tell
       Am             G                C
Is the one where I am growing old with you


C        
I was having rotten luck and nothing went my way
      Am                            C
Til I stumbled on a clearing in the woods
  F                               C
I found a town of leprechauns and grabbed each one for wishing on
Am                   G               C
But I would let them all go just for you


C
I have crossed a natural plane and communed with the dead
    Am                              C
But people always seem to want some proof
       F                                 C
No one even would believe, my love, that evil I got pictures of
Am                     G                C
But I would throw them all out just for you

Am  G  F
Oh, Oh, Anything for you
Am  G  F
Oh, Oh, All of this is true
Am      G               C            F
But the best story that I could ever tell
       Am             G                C
Is the one where I am growing old with you






C   
My scar is from a polar bear, my curse is from a witch
              Am                           C
I've caught a giant squid in all the seven seas
     F                                  C
I've picked up rocks from distant moons astronomers will discover soon
Am                    G                 C
But I would give them all back just for you


C
I've gotten drunk and shot the breeze with kings of far off lands
     Am                                 C
They showed me wealth as far as I could see
          F                                C
But their kingdoms seemed all shrively and they cried with jealousy
Am                   G               C
When I leaned in and told them about you



Am G F
(I'd give up anything)
Anything for you

Am G F
(I'd give it all)
All of this is true

Am      G               C            F
But the best story that I could ever tell
       Am             G                C
Is the one where I am growing old with you


Am            G           C               F
All I've ever wanted see, was to tell you honestly

Am        G            C
   I'd do anything for you

       Am         G            C
I'd do absolutely anything for you

In Topeka on a Monday night.
Bm	            Em
I taste blood every time I think of summer
	  G#                F#      Em
If that's true, I'm in for quite a treat.

	  Bm 		      	Em
'Cos I'm begging for the sun in a mid-Missouri winter,
         G# 		F#        Em
Waiting desperately to get out of town.

No, you can't keep a good man down.


Bm 		      Em
You've been known to obsess over the future
    G# 			F# 	     Em
Do you think you'll get away from the past?
	Bm 		      Em
As you starve yourself just to make it through 'til midnight
G# 			F# 	     E7
Consider what you might have found.
    G# 			F# 	  E7
You think you've got a good thing now.


I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night.
Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future
So you know it keeps me hanging around.
No, you can't keep a good man down.

From here on you can count on all things going
The way they must have from the start.
All you feel is the current flowing through you
And seizing your infected heart.

I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night.
I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night..---
Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future,
Saint has a past, every sinner has a future,
Saint has a past, every sinner has a future,
Saint has a past, every sinner has a future,
Sinner has a future...

Gushing for gold,

You suck so passionately

You're a parasitic, psycho, filthy creature

finger-bangin' my heart

You call me up drunk

I'll tell it like it happened, it was Darius and Noland and me,
        E                                          Am         
Just a few po' boys trying to get up out of Missouri.
         Am                                            Dm
Took 55 to Louisiana, stopped down by the highway to eat.

Back out under thunderheads, the radio was Southern soul.
           Am                                            C
They interrupted Clarence Carter with a strange-ass local show.

They were sayin'...

"Come down to Lake Pontchartrain.

Rest your soul and feed your brain.

Everything the water can be."

The rain was comin' down, the wind was howlin' outside of Slidell.
            E                                                 Am
It was the kind of night that makes you think the whole world's goin' 
to hell. 
          Am                                                  Dm
We got off on an exit 'cause we couldn't read the map so great.
          E                                   Am
Near the Choctaw Motel, we parked to deliberate,
          Am                                             Dm
When out of the bayou came a man like the lake had a tongue.
           E                                                Am
He was right up on the glass, all yellow-eyed, black teeth, bangin' 
on the windshield,
                                             E
Screamin' like a demon at the top of his lungs,
 

     Am                    E
"Come down to Lake Pontchartrain.
      C                   G
Rest your soul and feed your brain.
       Am                 E
Free for you and all your friends.
      C                G
Crawfish 'til the bitter end.
       Am               E
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain.
     C                 G
Wade to where the shallows break.
       Am                E
That's where you will get to see
      C             G     Am
Everything the water can be."

 
                                                  Dm
I was drivin' out of there as fast as a Camry could,
                   E                                            Am
But the interstate was flooded, so I had to take the road through 
the woods.
         Am                                           Dm
Bad move in retrospect; the road disappeared in the rain,
           E
And I stood on the brakes when I saw the sign:
         E
"Lake Pontchartrain..."

 
           Am
Darius was yelling that he saw somebody out in the swells;
                                           E
He jumped out, runnin', and Noland was goin' as well.
          Am                                     Dm
"Come back!" Why the hell would they leave the car?
           E                       E
And that's when I heard it, make no mistake -
            E                         E
The voices were calling them from under the lake...
 
 
"Come down to Lake Pontchartrain...   
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain...
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain...
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain..."
 

           Am                             Dm
The crawfish were screaming, the waves danced in time.
           E                                Am
My friends went in deeper; the water, it climbed.
           Am                   Dm
I watched in terror; the lake opened wide,
           E                        Am
And horribly roaring, it pulled them inside.
          Am                      Dm
That's how it happened! Why would I lie?
           E                      Am
There were no bodies, I've got none to hide.
         Dm                          Am
I'm just a poor boy, lost his friends in the rain.
         E                                          Am
Any more questions, just go and ask Lake Pontchartrain.

Lake Pontchartrain

Tim Ferrell wrote this song after their band had a traumatic van breakdown on the side of the road in Topeka, KS. Apparently, one of the members of the band prayed to a random woman as his god and he asked her, &quot;Whats wrong with our van?&quot;, and apparently she responded by saying, &quot;It's the catalytic converter.&quot; Ferrel had gone through mental training to help him through it. &quot;I had been trying to maintain a positive outlook,&quot; he says, &quot;Of all the times we had a mini-catastrophe, I didn't lose my head over it.

Absolutely WONDERFUL...about a man who cannot escape the woman he loves to despise! We all have love / hate relationships, this is merely a tribute to that &quot;sore spot&quot; in your life! Love STINKS so WONDERFULLY! Love me dead!

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G

King Creole

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
