Am	           G	            C
Here it comes it's all blown in tonight
Am		 G                     C
I woke up this morning to a blood-red sky
Am               G                      C
Burning on the bridge, turning off the lights
Am		        G               C
We're on the run I can see it in your eyes

  Am                    G                F
If Nothing Is safe then I don't understand
Am		               G               F
You call me your boy but I'm trying to be the man
Am                     G                      F
One more day and it's all sleeping with the sand
Am                     G                   F
You touch my lips and grab the back of my hand
                   C   Am   F   G
The back of my hand.

Am                         G             C
I guess we both know we're in over our heads
Am 		      G                      C
We've got nowhere to go and no home that's left
Am 			  G              C
The water is rising on a river turning red
Am              G                   C
It all might be OK or we might be dead

Am                  G                 F
If everything we've got is slipping away
Am			    G  		        F
I meant what I said when I said 'Till my dying day
Am 		  G                 F
I'm holding on to you holding onto me
Am 		    G                       F
Baby it's all gone black, but you're all I see
		C        Am          F          G
You're all I see

Am               G                      C
Walls are shaking hear them sound the alarm
Am                    G                   C
Glass just breaking so don't let go of my arm
Am                   G                   C
Grab your bags and a picture of where we met
Am                   G                   C
All that we leave behind is all that's left

Am               G                 F
If everything we got is blowing away
Am                  G                    F
We got a rock and a rock till our dying day
Am                G                 F
I'm holding on to you holding onto me
Am               G                    F
Baby it's all we got but it's all I need
		 C        Am        F        G
You're all I need

C          Am            F            G

C
And if all we've got
Am
Is what no one can break
F
I know I love you
G
If that's all we can take
C
The tears are coming down
Am
They're mixing with the rain
F
I know I love you
G			    C
If that's all we can take

Am                  G                        C
Bull is running for miles on the concrete ground
Am                        G                     C
We're 8 feet deep and the rain is still coming down
Am           G                C
TV's playing it all out of town
Am                           G                       C
I'm grabbing at the fray for something that won't drown

                   Em
Like ships in the night, 
                    C
you keep passing me by
                    G
We're just wasting time
            D
Trying to prove who's right
          Em                      C
And if it all goes crashing into the sea,
             G                     D
If its just you and me trying to find the light.

                   Em
Like ships in the night letting cannon balls flying,
              C
Say what you mean and turn to a fight 
             G
And fists fly from my mouth, it turns south, 
               D
you're down the driveway and I'm on the couch
         Em
Chasing dreams since the violent 5th grade,
            C
Trying to believe in your silent own way
               G
Cause we'll be okay, I'm not going away
                         D
like you watching at fourteen as it went down the drain
                     Em
And pops stayed the same, and your moms moved away
                 C
How many of our parents seemed to make it anyway?
            G
We're just fumbling through the grey,
               D
Trying find a heart that's not walking away.

             Em
I turn the lights down low
             C
Walk these halls alone
        G                 D
We can feel so far from so close


                   Em
Like ships in the night,

You keep passing me by,

like ships in the night.


                 Em
And I'm at the airport waiting on a second plane,
        C
Had to pack, you had cramps and I was late
             G
Headed to a red carpet, they won't know my name
           D
Riding in silence all that we wanna say
          Em
About to board when you call on the phone
                C
You said, "I'm sorry I'll be waiting at home."
                  G
Feels like we're learning this out on our own
                   D
Trying to find our way down road we don't know.

             Em
I turn the lights down low

Walk these halls alone

to the moon and the night

everything under the stars, is in your arms

there is a light, in your eyes, in your eyes

These back steps are steeper to the ground 
                               E
The brightest stars are falling down 
                                   A         
I'm walking the edge, walking the tightest rope 
E                         A                               E
We can be frank, reality rips on through, rolling like a hurricane 
                             B
I'm over the bridge and under the rain 
                C#M                      A
If everything's falling, if everything's changed 
               E                  B
If I'm in the open, if I'm in the way

If you're not with me

What have I got to live for, if it's just my own dream 
                    E                       A 
Take it back to the beginning, back to the start 
               C#M                              B
When gravity's pulling, you're still holding my heart 
                  E    A
You come crashing down 
         E
Crashing down 
E                                 A
These four walls are closing in on me 
                             E
The talk is louder than I'll sing 
                               A
I want to be there, want to be where you are 
E                                  A                           E
but you know it all, Every look and smile that aren't meant to break 
                                 B
I'm over the bridge and under the rain 
                C#M                      A
If everything's falling, if everything's changed

If I'm in the open, if I'm in the way

What am I doing here

If you're not with me

What have I got to live for, if it's just my own dream 
                    E                      A
Take it back to the beginning, back to the start 
               C#M                              B

Renaissance by Mat Kearney from the album "Nothing Left To Lose"
Chords Used: 
Bm G D Asus4
Standard Tuning: 

Intro: Bm G D Asus4 (2X) 
VERSE 1: Bm G D Asus4 (6X)
Bm
This is my renaissance
G			
This is my one response
D                                  Asus4
This is the way I say I love you
Bm
This is my second chance
G
This is my one romance
D               
This is the cutting line
Asus4
On which I stand to show you
Bm
It happened fast in a flash just this evening
G
I hit the gas, horn blast, brakes screaming
D
Car crash, broken glass, broke my dreaming
Asus4
I hit the dash so fast my ears are ringing
Bm
My sister's on the right side just slightly leaning
G
I grabbed her hand hard until she started breathing
D
My brother's in the back jaw cracked from the beating
Asus4
The breath in my chest has slipped and I'm sinking
Bm
Blinking through diamond spider webs of cracked glass
G
I'm trying to remember all the words you said in the past
D
Through the ash, siren screams and red beams
Asus4
I hear you sing softly to me

CHORUS: D G Asus4 D (2X)
D
I can be the wall when you fall down
G
Find me on the rocks when you break down

Asus4
I heard it in the song when you call out
D
But I got to say now it's got to change (REPEAT)

BREAK: Bm G D Asus4 (1X)
Bm
This is my broken heart
G
This is my bleeding start
D                                           Asus4
This is the way I've come to know you
Bm
This is my winding road
G
This is my way back home
D                                           Asus4
This is the narrow door you know that I will walk through

VERSE 2: Bm G D Asus4 (4X)
Bm
I got a letter today of why she went away
G
She said, it's better this way, you know I never could stay
D
Half empty closets and frames, all that's left to my name
Asus4
As she left in the rain and left my heart on a chain
Bm
Three years I've built this two-face tower for hours on a lease
G
You gave me one yellow flower that said rest in peace
D
In pieces I've broken open to think too much or just enough
Asus4
Alone to trust midst the rubble and the dust
Bm
Humbled, it took this much to break down and understand
G
Spent my life this far on castles made of sand
D
Tossed in the breakers in the palm of your hand
Asus4
Now I can finally stand

CHORUS: D G Asus4 D (4X)
D
I can be the wall when you fall down
G
Find me on the rocks when you break down
Asus4
I heard it in the song when you call out
D
But I got to say now it's got to change
D                                        G
I can be the wall.............
Asus4                                 D
I heard it in the song.................
D			       G
I can be the wall.....................
Asus4 			       D
I heard it in the song.....................

Bm 	G	D	Asus4 (2X)

Bm
This is my renaissance
G
This is my one response
D                              Asus4
This is the way I say I love you.

End on Asus4

Runaway (soul Surfer)

          D
All your ways and all your thunder
             A
Got me in a haze running for cover
               Bm
Where we gonna go from here
               G
Where we gonna go from here

Bm
Car lights on the driveway
                 A
I wonder who's going, coming my way
                 G
Tomorrow we're turning down the highway
                A
With another bright stage on a weekday
Bm
The green grass and a radio
             A
Watching it fly past and away we go
               G                    A
Seven hundred places seven hundred faces more

          D
All your ways and all your thunder
              A
Got me in a haze running for cover
               Bm
Where we gonna go from here
               G
Where we gonna go from here
                  D
The back of your eyes look like my mothers
         A
When we talk you're like my brother
               Bm
Where we gonna go from here
                          G
Where we gonna go from here
                 A
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
                 G
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
                 G               A
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh


              Bm
The time is moving on our side
              A
How could I miss you to another guy
              G
Pull of the ocean and the roaring tide
                A
Is bigger than my eyes or my design
Bm
Father got a best plan
              A
Saving his daughter for the best man
                G                  A
Seven hundred places seven hundred faces more

The hopeless undertow
G                     D2
  Singing out the gentle sound

Rattling through my smoking screens

My broken dreams last night

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 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

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.

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.


Intro and Verses:

A|-2---3---2-|-5-------5-|------|-10------10|-9-------9-|------
E|-----------|-----------|------|-----------|-----------|----3-
C|-0---------|-2---2-----|------|-----7-----|-----------|-2----
G|-0---------|-0---------|-0----|-9---------|-7---------|------
   |   |   |   |   |   |   |  |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |  |

Intro Riff:

A|-10--12--10-|-9---10---9-|-2---3---2-|-5-------5-|-------|
E|------------|------------|-----------|-----------|-------|
C|------------|------------|-0---------|-2---2-----|-------|
G|-9----------|-7----------|-0---------|-0---------|-0-----|



Chorus:

                   C
I...              driving...
     G  
The speed...            

Em
      City...

        D
And...  arm...
    
    C  Em        D
And I      had a feeling...

    C  Em        D
And I      had a feeling...

C           D
be...       be... 

Suggestion: during the verses, it can sound pretty cool if you
get a friend to strum the chords: C, G, Em, D in the background

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.

(Chorus)
