              A              D
I know you're happy when you smile
            B          D
I know it's taken me a while
           A            D
I know I'm going out of style
    B                   D
Ten thousand miles from you
         A              D
But everything is still okay
          B            D
Cause I'm closer every day
         A                 D
Which is more than I would have to say
   B             D
If I was next to you
B                          D
Think of all the times and places
B                    D                 E             A
Step across the open spaces, that lead back to you


        D                 B            D   A
And you know that I won't let you go
             D               B    D      A
Sometimes so near and now so far (Now so far)
            D               B                 D   A
Retrack the paces that have brought me here
         D             B       D
Close my eyes and move along
E   D              
        To where I belong


A         B        D
Thinking, looking, hoping that I'll find a way
A         B       E          D
You know, that I, can't stop counting all the days
A               B             D
That you're not here to say
A          B        E
You know I miss you more
D
More than yesterday

       A                    D
I know sometimes that in my past
     B                D
Lost direction had to ask
         A             D
I know I wouldn't ever last
    B         D
Without you
         A              D
But everything is still okay
          B            D
Cause I'm closer every day
         A                 D
Which is more than I would have to say
   B             D
If I was next to you
E   D   
        What can I do?


A         B        D
Thinking, looking, hoping that I'll find a way
A         B       E          D
You know, that I, can't stop counting all the days

# I would like to preface by explaning a weird notation I made.
# You will see something that looks like this "C#->C->B->A#".
# The chords rapidly shift in the song during those points.
# Where you might count another chord for 4 counts,
# C#->C->B->A##  means rapidly play each chord for one count.
# I hope this makes sense. If you are confused,
# listen to those points in the song and you'll see what I mean.
# Cheers.

I was hanging with my friends and they said I looked peaked
  D                           A
I said I met a girl and she's making me freaky
        B                    F#
Like no other girl that I've known before
      D                           C#->C->B->A#
She's driving me wild, knocked me flat on the floor
         B                     F#
Yeah she stole my heart with a butter knife
      D                   A
And I can't get away even if I try
B                     F#
Mendoza, Mendoza, why can't you see?
D                                C#->C->B->A#

You got me hanging by a string, I'm tied up in chains
         D                              A
Girl you gotta set me free cause you're holding the reigns
           B                            F#
You got me living in the shadow of your mountain of love
    D                        C#->C->B->A#
You gotta help me up, send a rope from above
              B                     F#
Cause there's only one girl who can rock my world
     D                      A
Just one little chick and I know that girl
       B                         F#
Like a key to a lock, things can never be the same
       D                      C#->C->B->A#
Yeah I know that girl, Yeah I know her name...

She took a rusty stiletto and she slaughtered my heart
            D                              A
Wrapped her finger round my mind, that was only the start
       B                            F#
Dumped cement in my stomach just to even the score
    D                        C#->C->B->A#
And when she was done I only asked for more
             B                    F#
Cause you're too much woman for a man like me
       D                        A
And my love grows faster than a growing weed
B                     F#
Mendoza, Mendoza, why can't you see

# In the actual song, there's no guitar till after the first verse,

# Also where I wrote [Solo], there's a guitar solo, so there's really no chords,

Woah,        don't let em take it all away
Bb F Gm Eb
Woah,        it's getting harder every day
Bb F Gm Eb
Woah,        brothers, sisters, hear me say
Bb F Gm Eb
Woah


    Bb                   F
I'm down on my luck, I'm out on the streets
    Gm                Eb
I'm at wits end, I've nearly been beat
            Bb                     F
See they've taken my home, They've taken my wife
        Gm                        Eb
They've taken my job, And they've taken my life
            Bb                  F
But there's one thing that they will not take
            Gm                         Eb
That I will hold til the end, Until my dying day
           Bb                   F
Cause it's part of me, And it's time that we say
     Gm               Eb
They will not take it all away

    Bb                             F
I'm pounding the pavement, Through thick and thin
     Gm                        Eb
Good times and bad, You know I just can't win
          Bb                  F
I've been beat on, kicked on, insulted to my face
    Gm                                Eb
The whole bleedin' world thinks I'm a bleedin' disgrace
              Bb                      F
Yeah they can own my body but they'll never own my mind
        Gm                           Eb
So they better face the facts, cause now is the time
        Bb                  F
Till we all join hands, and all of us say
     Gm               Eb
They will not take it all away

Since the day I was born
C                Eb
I've been runnin uphill
Bb                       F
I work my fingers to the bone
C              Eb
Just to get my fill
Bb                  F
And they still want more
C                         Eb
It's getting harder every day
Bb                    F
Until there's nothing left
C                      Eb
Until they take it all away

But now I find that you went away today

I couldn't make you stay, now I can't find you
               E                          B
Somewhere down inside, I know that I will find

You waiting by my side, I'll find you

Beer Song

[Intro]
F G Bb C x3


[Horns]
F C A Bb x2


F                C
I know a guy who lives in a box
   A                   Bb
He built it himself of cement and rocks
          F                       C
And he'll never come out though I beg and plead
         A                        Bb
He's got all that he wants if not all that he needs
           F                                     C
You see he couldn't take the world and what it's done to him
   A                     Bb    
He had to escape, had to lock himself in
    F                          C
His walls are his friends he's never alone
A                     Bb
Never bothered in his cubic home


     F               G   Bb 
He's living in a box
         C         
Each and every day
F               G   Bb
Living in a box
           C
There's no other way
F               G   Bb
Living in a box
            C
And there's no escape
F               G   Bb
Living in a box
    C
And though he tries

He can never get away, hey!


[Horns]
F C A Bb x2


F                     C
Out in my box that is also my van
     A                    Bb
Just another six weeks of one night stands
      F                    C
And I can't get away, it's where that I go
         A                      Bb
From the van to the club to our nightly hotel
F                        c
Takes me to places, even took me to you
  A                    Bb
I got no choice, Gotta pay my dues
F                   C
Worth it or not, No escape from my cell
    A                      Bb
One hour of fun for twenty three of Hell


F               G   Bb 
Living in a box
         C         
Each and every day
F               G   Bb
Living in a box
           C
There's no other way
F               G   Bb
Living in a box
            C
And there's no escape
F               G   Bb
Living in a box
    C
And though I try

I can never get away, hey!


F            C
Living in my box for so long
A                    Bb
I got to find my way out to go on
F                    C
And what I got is no time for you
    A                   Bb
I'm in my box without a thing to do


F                        C
Look at yourself, you're living the same
A                             Bb
Locked behind walls that your brother has made
          F                 C
You were born in a box, you work in a box
    A                        Bb
You live in a box and you'll die in a box!
F                       C
So much more that's outside your sphere
    A                Bb
You walk on by never knowing how near
F                     C
So much more than the walls do show
          A                            Bb
If you're not very careful then you'll never know!


       F               G Bb
You're living in a box
         C         
Each and every day
F               G   Bb
Living in a box
           C
There's no other way
F               G   Bb
Living in a box
            C
And there's no escape
F               G   Bb
Living in a box
    C
And though I try

I can never get away, hey!

Never get away, hey!

Never get away, hey!


[Spoken]
Each and every day
365 days a year
I know there's no escape
And I can feel the walls closing in
I know there's no escape
there's no escape from my box

[Intro/Horns]
A D F# F# x8


A
Running fast down a dead end alleyway
F#
Spent my money, pissin' all my time away
A                                               F#     E
Take a break, just to meet you at the pub for a pint
A
Toss it back, faster than I really should
F#
Forgot to savor, all the flavor that I could
A
Kicked my chair, spilled your drink, left the room
    F#
But as I walked away I heard these words ring out


[Pre-Chorus]
E E E E


A       D       F#
Hit me, hit me, hit me with sensation
A    D      F#
I'll hit it back with excitation
A        D        F#
Hear my, hear my, hear my revelation
A       D      F#                    A
Hit the floor, feel the liberation


A
Knew a girl, a shadow of her former self
F#
Just a phantom, living in her private hell
A                                           F#     E
Had to show her all she threw away from her life
A
Life's a journey, not another losing fight
F#
And it's over before you're gonna get it right
A                                          F#
So you gotta drink up all the joy that you can

Now sit back, listen to these words


[Pre-Chorus]
E E E E


A       D       F#
Hit me, hit me, hit me with sensation
A    D      F#
I'll hit it back with excitation
A        D        F#
Hear my, hear my, hear my revelation
A       D      F#
Hit the floor, feel the liberation

Hit me, hit me, hit me with sensation
A    D      F#
I'll hit it back with excitation
A        D        F#
Hear my, hear my, hear my revelation
A       D      F#                    A
Hit the floor, feel the liberation

Hit Me! Hit Me!

I remember how it used to be

And all the things you said to me
           A                    Bm
You always taught me right from wrong

and killed your family

Was it just for entertainment?
                   G                        D
Cause now you face solitary confinement (in jail)

I saw it on a cereal box,
B                  D
said it costs just three mere bucks
A                     D
I shipped it off with seven tops,
    B             D
and waited by the mail.
A                 D
In seven weeks it finally came,
B                    D
I ripped the box without no shame,
A                  D
I turned it on, it fell apart
    B                 D
but that was just the start.

I know the time is right,

wont let the chance go by.

Ill give it one more try before I send,

I met her at an Eastown bar,

I called her up, we had a date

another after that.
A                D
Then there was a sudden change,
B              D
the silly girl forgot my name,
A                  D
I knew it was just all her game

Send You Back

# Technically only bass is playing during the intro of the actual song,
# but if you're playing solo, you might want filler chords, so I gave you some
# In addition, during the portions marked [Bridge] and the rap in between,
# there is really only bassline, horns, and drums, but if you are playing solo,
# you probably need something to play, so I added chords that fit.

Don't mean a thing to me

It's your thigh high nylons

That bring me to my knees

Bring back the classic bob

I caught you walking in the corner of my eye
       E                   F#
And my field of vision was only thigh high
         B
Tried to make my move, but I hit the wall
      E                     F#
Lying flat on the floor you make the call
         B
It was a fat no, I heard from the lips
           E              F#
I check my watch and your swinging hips
       B
It was like that, what was I to do?
     E                          F#
so I stepped on back and took a sip of my brew
            B
This is the first time that my face turned red
            E                 F#
You left me lyin' dead with a bullet in my head
           B
Was it the end of it all? I just don't know
         E                     F#
But your thigh high nylons are stealing the show
      B
Panty hose? No, we need thigh high nylons
      E                   F#
Black tights? No, we need thigh high nylons
      B

What was wrong or what was right
D         Eb
You never told me
        F                 Bb
Why you couldn't sleep at night
                         F
I know you've heard this before
                     C
But I'll say it once more
                    Eb
You've done all you can
                     Bb
And you can't do any more
          F
But thats alright
                         C
Cause I'll just wait and see

That you realize you never told me

          You never told me


      D                     Gm
And I know that things have changed
     Eb               Bb
As I know they always do
      D                          Gm
And I know, I know we're not the same
            Eb            Bb
To think we were, I was a fool
      D                          Gm
But I never, I never thought I'd see
     Eb            Bb
Even in my darkest dreams
           D           Gm
Cause full circle will remain
         Eb               Bb
The most unkindest cut of all

Why you were never around
D         Eb
You never told me
                F          Bb
Why you were so popular in town
                 F
I know that it's true
                   C
That the damage is done
                   Eb
That you wasted my time
                          Bb
While you were out having fun
           F
But that's alright
                         C
Cause I'll just wait and see
         Eb
That you realize, you never told me


Gm   Eb
          You never told me
Gm   Eb
          You never, you never
Gm   Eb                       D   F   Bb
          You never told me


        D             Gm
But you left me every sign
   Eb                 Bb
So obvious for all to see
      D                           Gm
But I turned, I turned and looked away
        Eb                 Bb
Cause I could not bare the thought
     D                          Gm
So I shifted, I shifted all the blame
      Eb              Bb
So it did not hurt so much
        D                  Gm
Now the weight is crushing me
           Eb               Bb
I've gotta rise and push it off

You never told me

That this would happen to me today
                       F
I know now that you're gone
               C
I'm feeling so good
                Eb
I thought you'd leave
                   Bb
But never knew you would

But that's alright

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

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.

to remind yourself that you forgot

Overreacting

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.

get a friend to strum the chords: C, G, Em, D in the background
