The Magnetic Fields is a New York-based group fronted by Stephin Merritt. Recent albums released under the name &quot;The Magnetic Fields&quot; usually consist of synth-pop music in a 1980s style underlying clever lyrics which are often heavily ironic. While synth-pop often forms the foundation of their music, The Magnetic Fields' music borrows from many other styles, notably country, folk and indie pop.  The band was originally formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1990 by friends Merritt and (percussionist/pianist/vocalist) Claudia Gonson.

B                         E
Andy would bicycle across town

                         B 
in the rain to bring you candy

                       E 
and John would buy the gown

                       B 
for you to wear to the prom

               E 
with Tom the astronomer

                      F#
who'd name a star for you

                          B 
(C): But I'm the luckiest guy

                  G#m:
on the Lower East Side

      E 
cause I've got wheels

    F# 
and you want to go for a ride.

B                               E 
Harry is the one I think you'll marry

         B 
but it's Chris that you kissed

      F# 
after school

      B 
well I'm a fool, there's no doubt

    E 
but when the sun comes out

         F# 
and only when the sun comes out (C)

F#           E        B           F# 
  The day is beautiful and so are you 
My car is ugly but then I'm ugly too 
I know you'd never give me a second glance 
but when the weather's nice all the other guys don't stand a chance

  B 
I know Professor Blumen

      E 
makes you feel like a woman

    B 
but when the wind is in your hair

    E 
you laugh like a little girl

       B 
So you share secrets with Lou

    E 
but we've got secrets too

      F#          E                  F# 
Well, one: I only keep this heap for you

cause I'm the ugliest guy 
on the Lower East Side 
but I've got wheels 
and you want to go for a ride

Want to go for a ride?  (x3)

The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side

C          
You are a splendid butterfly
                              Am
It is your wings that make you beautiful
                        G     F
And I could make you fly away
                           C
But I could never make you stay

C
You said you were in love with me
                           Am
Both of us know that that's impossible
                         G        F
And I could make you rue the day
                           C
But I could never make you stay

G
Not for all the tea in China
F
Not if I could sing like a bird
C                          G
Not for all North Carolina
F                         
Not for all my little words
C                           G
Not if I could write for you
F
The sweetest song you ever heard
C                           G
It doesn't matter what I do
F
Not for all my little words

C
Now that you've made me want to die
                        Am
You tell me that you're unboyfriendable
                         G       F
And I could make you pay and pay
                           C
But I could never make you stay

To get the main riff, just hold
your finger on the e string first
fret for two notes, then open for
two notes, while strumming the whole chord

B
Meaningless?

                       G#m:
You mean it's all been meaningless?

              E
Every whisper and caress?

F#                     B 
Yes yes yes it was totally meaningless

Meaningless 
like when two fireflies fluoresce 
Just like everything I guess 
it was utterly meaningless 
Even less 
a little glimpse of nothingness 
sucking meaning from the rest of this mess 
Yes yes yes it was thoroughly meaningless

E                               F# 
  and if some dim bulb should say

                          B 
we were in love in some way

                            E 
kick all his teeth in for me

             F#               E                F# 
and if you feel like keeping on kicking feel free

Meaningless 
Who dare to say it wasn't meaningless 
Shout from the rooftops and address the press 
Ha ha ha it was totally meaningless

B 
Meaningless

                    G#m 
Meaning less than a game of chess

                               E 
Just like your mother said and mother knows best

                           F# 
I knew it all the time but now I confess

E         F#                   B 
Yes yes yes how deliciously meaningless

          F#                  E 
Yes yes yes effervescently meaningless

          F#                      B 
Yes yes yes it was beautifully meaningless

          F#                     E 
Yes yes yes it was profoundly meaningless 
Yes yes yes definitively meaningless 
Yes yes yes comprehensively meaningless 
Yes yes yes magnificently meaningless 
Yes yes yes how incredibly meaningless 
Yes yes yes unprecedentedly meaningless 
Yes yes yes how mind-blowingly meaningless 
Yes yes yes unbelievably meaningless 
Yes yes yes how infinitely meaningless

Meaningless

G          C          D/F#     G
  The book of love is long and boring
G        C             D/F#      G    
  No one can lift the damn thing 
G           C             D/F#      G
  It's full of charts and facts and figures
G       C              D/F#   G
  And instructions for dancing but

G C D/F# G
I...
G       C           D/F#    G
  I love it when you read to me and
G C D/F# G
You...
G         C       D/F# G
  You can read me anything

G          C          D/F#     G
The book of love has music in it
G          C          D/F#     G
In fact that's where music comes from
G          C          D/F#     G
Some of it is just transcendental
G          C          D/F#     G
Some of it is just really dumb but

G C D/F# G
I...
G       C               D/F#        G
I love it when you sing to me and
G C D/F# G
You...
G       C           D/F#        G
You can sing me anything

G          C          D/F#     G
The book of love is long and boring
G          C          D/F#     G
And written very long ago
G          C          D/F#     G
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
G          C          D/F#     G
And things we're all too young to know but

(G C D/F# G
I...
G           C             D/F#        G
I love it when you give me things and
G C D/F# G
You...
G           C             D/F#      G
You ought to give me wedding rings) x2

The Book Of Love

Intro/Verse: F C Bb

F          C     Bb
Dance with me my old friend
F    C         Bb
once before we go
F     C             Bb
Let's pretend this song won't end
       F      C         Bb
And we never have to go home

          Gm                    C
And we'll dance among the chandeliers

F                                 Bb
  And nothing matters when we're dancing
C                             F
  In tat or tatters you're entrancing
F                      Bb
  Be we in Paris or in Lansing
C                            F
  Nothing matters when we're dancing

       F     C         Bb
You've never been more beautiful
     F         C        Bb
Your eyes like two full moons
   F       C          Bb
As here in this poor old dance hall
  F       C        Bb
Among the dreadful tunes

         Gm                  C
The awful songs we don't even hear

F                                 Bb
  And nothing matters when we're dancing
C                             F
  In tat or tatters you're entrancing
F                      Bb
  Be we in Paris or in Lansing
C                            F
  Nothing matters when we're dancing

I don't [F]have to love you [C]now if I don't [G]wish to

Just the [F]bad comedi[G]an

I Don't Really Love You Anymore

Don't fall in love with me yet

                 B
We only recently met

you might decide I'm a nut

F     G   C
Andrew in drag

C
I'd sign away my trust fund
                      Am
I would even sell the Jag
C
If I could spend my misspent youth with
F     G   C
Andrew in drag

Andrew in drag

C
So stick him in a dress and

He's the only boy I'd shag
C
The only boy I'd anything is
F     G   C
Andrew in drag

C
I'll never see that girl again
               Am
He did it as a gag
C
I'll pine away forevermore for
F     G   C
Andrew in drag

The winging of real birds
Not those reserved
Birds that simply everyone's observed
Real birds.

I Don't Believe You

True[F], I'd give my right [G]arm

And [F]true, for you, I'd [G]move to Ecua[Am]dor
And I'd [F]keep a little [G]farm
Chop [C]wood to keep you [Am]warm

But [F]I don't really [G]love you any[Am]more

I don't [F]have to love you [C]now if I don't [G]wish to
I won't [F]see you any[C]how if that's an [G]issue
Because I [F]am a gentle[G]man
Think of [F]me as just your [G]fan
Who re[F]members every [G]dress you ever [Am]wore
Just the [F]bad comedi[G]an
Your new [C]boyfriend's better [Am]than

'Cos [F]I don't really [G]love you any[Am]more

There'll be [F]someday when your [C]eyes do not en[G]thrall me
I'll be [F]numb I [C]realize you'll never [G]call me
'Cos I've [F]read your horo[G]scope
And now I've [F]given up all [G]hope

So [F]I don't really [G]love you any[Am]more

I don't want to get over     you

I guess I could take a sleeping pill

and sleep at will

and not have to go through 
what I go through

I guess I should take Prozac, right,

at somebody new

Somebody not too bright

who would try to get you off my mind

I could leave this agony behind

cause I don't want to get over love 

                   C          G 
I could listen to my therapist, 
     C                G 
pretend you don't exist,

and not have to dream of 
what I dream of 

                   C          G
I could listen to all my friends

           Am                Bm
or I could make a career of being blue

I could dress in black and read Camus 
       C                          G
smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth 
like I was 17

      C
I was born, I hate this part,
              E
being someone new,
      F                          C           G:
being torn, seeing someone who died as you grew.
         F                   C
Growing older is killing a child
                  G           D
who laughed and smiled at anything,
          F                        C
growing colder and less and less wild
                  G
and learning to sing.

      C
I was young, then not so young:
             E
scary either way.
         F                         C         G
One more rung down that black ladder every day.

            F                 C
One more floor down the elevator
          G        D
to oblivion what fun,
        F                  G
but the singularly awful one
         F     A
is being born.

I Was Born

C:               B             Em
It was infinitely late at night.
    Am                        B
The stars are still out there,
            Am          B
but they're all out of light.
      Em            B  C            B
Don't worry about me,  I'll be all right,
          C         B         Em
it's just infinitely late at night.

     Am
It's still getting later and later and later.
  Em                             D
I feel like I'm in a falling elevator.

    B
I'd kill for a drink, but I can't find the waiter.
  C                        B
I really believe he's gone home.
   C                      B
Oh god, I wish I could go home,
         C         B         Em
but it's infinitely late at night.

Is this a blackout or am I losing my sight?
It should have been noon now, the sun should be bright,
but it's infinitely...

The hour on the bar clock, it isn't finite,
it's all black and white without the white.
It's just infinitely late at night.

Infinitely Late At Night

Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side

My [C] girl is the queen of the [F] savages
She [G] don't know the modern world
and its [C] ravages
[C] Instead of money she's
got yams and [F] cabbages
She [G] lives in a dome
I [G] don't care if I never get [C] home
My [C] girl is the queen of the [F] jungle folk
You [G] should see the things
we see [C] when we smoke
We [C] think all of life is a [F] funny joke
She's [G] sharp as a tack
I [G] don't care if I never get [C] back
My [C]girl is the queen of ten [F] villages
We [G] live on the fruits
of her [C]pillages
She [C]eats other queens,
she's very [F]religious
She [G]doesn't use a fork
I [G]don't think I'll go back to New [C] York

I want to be a dominatrix,

learn S, and M, and all those gay tricks,
and men will pay me to make them scream.

I want to be a porno starlet.
(For that I'll wait till Mama's dead.)
I'll see my name in lights of scarlet
and get to spend every day in bed.

I want to be a tattooed lady,
dedicated -- as I am -- to art.
Characters bold, complex, and shady
will write my memoirs across my heart.

I know the rain is not profound, and autumn's not symbolic

And the wind does not make lonesome sounds

Cause the sun and the sea and the sky

They will never make you cry

You can love them and they don't die
G           C   Em
They don't just die

You can wait for Jesus all your life, he's coming any day now
Any day now for two thousand years
Yes I know, it's trivial
Yes, I know I'm shallow
But let's go out and play now

Cause the sun and the sea and the sky
They will never make you cry
You can love them and they don't die
They don't just die

Hoy encuentro tu imagen en el mismo lugar
C Am F
como en sueños inciertos te estoy viendo llegar
C Am F
ya no hay luz de escena, ya no estas
C Am
me sorprende tu voz y nuestra
F
historia de amor, en la melodia
C Am F
soñamos con cambiar el dia, la oscuridad, la cancion
C Em Am G F
pero nunca supimos amar
C Em Am G F
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
C Em Am G F
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Es de noche, hay silencio, necesito hablar
y una lluvia de invierno se quedo con mi soledad
el mundo podía desaparecer
mientras nuestra nabe volaba hacia nuevos lugares
buscabamos vida
tratamos de disimular, locura y propiedad
pero nunca supimos amar
un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Malicia en tus sueños, me hacias volar
tu cuerpo y el mio guardaron secretos
y una rara armonia
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
si tu amor no se murio, por favor, donde esta?
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Buscabamos vida

No tiene dueño solamente entre tú y yo

Noche de calor

Intro:        
D Gm D Gm


Verse:
D          Gm                D
 Never ending symptoms in my head
            Gm             D
We lay hollow in the emptiness
            Gm                     Bm
I'm too tired to push you from the bed



Pre-Chorus:
A#                 
 No more fighting
F
 No more fighting
Am               A#     
 No more fighting for us



Chorus:
F       Gm      D#  A#
Feel the void in our bed
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening
   F       Gm      Dm    A#
Oh we don't bend or break it
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening



Verse:
D               Gm                    D
 No one's moving, we lack the courage to
                   Gm                  D
We lay in stalemate, wishing the other would
                   Gm                     Bm
But we're too tired, we're at the ember's core



Pre-Chorus:
A#                 
 No more fighting
F
 There’s no more fighting
Am                            A#     
 There’s no more fighting for us



Chorus:
F       Gm      D#  A#
Feel the void in our bed
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening
   F       Gm      Dm    A#
Oh we don't bend or break it
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening



Bridge:
Am       A#      Gm               C
 No more fighting, we've given up now
Dm            D#        A#
 Silence says more than words
Am     A#  Gm           C
 Imagination cures loneliness when
Dm            D#      A#
 You become a prisoner



Chorus:
F       Gm      D#  A#
Feel the void in our bed
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening
   F       Gm      Dm    A#
Oh we don't bend or break it
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening

Space Between

F                    G      C      Am G
The world is treating me bad... misery. 

C               F
I'm the kind of guy,
    C             F
Who never used to cry,
                         G      C     Am G
The world is treatin' me bad... misery

C                     F
I've lost her now for sure,
  C                F  
I won't see her no more,
                G       C
It's gonna be a drag... misery

Am                           C           
I'll remember all the little things we've done
Am                                 G         G7
Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one.


C                F
Send her back to me,
       C            F
'Cause everyone can see
                   G     C
Without her I will be in misery


Am                           C
I'll remember ...


C                F
Send her back to me...

Misery

C                        F 
Back in the old folky days
Am            Em              D
The air was magic when we played
C                                   F
The river boat was rocking in the rain
Am                Em            D
Midnight was the time for the raid
G
Oh Isabella, Proud Isabella
Am
They tore you down and plowed you under
Bm                             C
You're only real with your makeup on
G                 D
How could I see you and stay too long

C                        F
All along the Navaho Trail
Am                  Em                 D
burnouts stub their toes on garbage pails
C                          F
Waitresses crying in the rain
Am                   Em                 D
Will their boyfriends pass this way again?
G 
Oh Mother Goose, she's on the skids
Am
the shoe* ain't happy neither are the kids  
Bm                        C
She needs someone that she can scream at
G                    D
And I'm such at heel for making her so bad

C                                F
I guess I'll call it sickness gone
Am                   Em                D
It's hard to say the meaning to this song
C                              F
An ambulance can only go so fast
Am               Em               D
It's easy to get buried in the past
C                                  F
When you try to make a good thing last
Am   Em   D

G
I saw today, in the entertainment section
Am
There's room at the top for private detection
Bm             C
To Mom and Dad this just doesn't matter
G                    D
But it's either that or pay off the kidnappers
C                          F
So all you critics sit alone
Am                    Em                        D
You're no better than me for what  you've shown
C                                               F
With your stomach pump and your hook and ladder dreams
Am                 Em               D
We could get together for some scenes

G
Well I'm up in T.O.  keepin' jive alive
Am
and out on the corner it's half past five
Bm                        C
But the subways are empty and so are the cafes
G                              D
Except for the Farmer's Market and I can still hear him sayin'
C                                  F
"You're all just pissin' in the wind
Am             Em             D
You don't know it but you are"
C                              F
And there ain't nothing like a friend
Am                           Em              D
Who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind

G
I never knew a man could tell so many lies
Am
he had a different story for every set of eyes
Bm                  C
How can he remember who he's talking to?
G                        D                        G(hold)
Cause I know it ain't me and I hope it isn't you

Ambulance Blues

Gm 
Hoje eu tive um sonho que foi o mais bonito 
Que eu sonhei em toda a minha vida 
Sonhei que todo mundo vivia preocupado 
Tentando encontrar uma saída 
 Cm              G            Bb 
Quando em minha porta alguém tocou 
 D7                          Gm 
Sem que ela se abrisse ele entrou 
 Cm         F           Bb          Eb 
E era algo tão divino, luz em forma de menino 
 Ab                   D7 
Que uma canção me ensinou 
G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            Gm 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 Gm 
Tinha na inocência a sabedoria 
Da simplicidade e me dizia 
Que tudo é mais forte quando todos cantam 
A mesma canção e que eu devia 
 Cm        F         Bb 
Ensinar a todos por ali 
  D7                            Gm 
E quantos mais houvessem para ouvir 
   Cm            F          Bb        Eb 
E a fé em cada coração, na força daquela canção 
  Ab                        D7 
Seria ouvida lá no céu por Deus 
 G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            Gm 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 Gm 
E saí cantando meu pequeno hino 
Quando vi que alguém também cantava 
Vi minha esperança na voz de um menino 
Que sorrindo me acompanhava 
 Cm             F          Bb 
Outros que brincavam mais além 
   D7                         Gm 
Deixavam de brincar pra vir também 
   Cm           F          Bb        Eb 
E cada vez crescia mais aquele batalhão de paz 
 Ab                        D7 
Onde já marchavam mais de cem 
G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            G  D#7 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 G#m 
De todos os lugares vinham aos milhares 
E em pouco tempo eram milhões 
Invadindo ruas, campos e cidades 
Espalhando amor aos corações 
 C#m           F#         B 
Em resposta o céu se iluminou 
 D#7                G#m 
Uma luz imensa apareceu 
 C#m               F#         B           E 
Tocaram fortes os sinos, os sons eram divinos 
  D#7                    G#m 
A paz tão esperada aconteceu 
  C#m           F#       B            E 
Inimigos se abraçaram e juntos festejaram 
  A                           D#7 
O bem maior, a paz, o amor e Deus 
 G# 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                           D# 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                           G# 
La la la la la la la la la la

A Guerra Dos Meninos

E B
Yo seré lo que tú quieras que sea
C#m G#m
seré tu amante cuando tú lo prefieras
A E B
cuando revientes en llantos róbame un abrazo tal vez algo más..
E B
No te preocupes por quitarme la vida
C#m G#m
me la devuelves cuando tu lo decidas
A E B
y que no importe si el viento en otro momento nos vuelve a juntar...

A B E
y ya no estás arañándome la espalda,
G#m A E B
no me importa lo que hagas, si tu quieres vuelveme a esperar
(E-B-C#m-G#m-A-E-B)x2
eh eh eh...

G#m A (B-A)
Si vuelvo a sufrir ...!que me coman a besos!
A E A E
doy gracias por amarme, y por abandonarme
A G#m A B E
en lugar de tu amor escogí una luz para poder consolarme

Yo seré lo que tu quieras ....
Yo seré lo que tú quieras...

Por el momento y situacion en la cual escuche este tema me senti un tonto
he jurado no volver a cometer los mismos errores del pasado
es mi turno de recompensarte por todo lo que hiciste por mí
ahora yo te la dedico KaRyKatu my liebe....
