My nuclear world
                 A
Full of cars and girls
                  Bm
Crashing out on a wave
                          G

Spitting fire at the sun

Death,

Is only a face that won't confess
               Am
Peacefully you rest
      Em            C
In my bed infest my head

Undress this plague of wicked faces

Wicked faces


(Pre-chorus)
Am           Em            C
You're gonna burn like the sun
        G                   Am
When my flames come raining down
       Em
I will avenge the storm
    C               G
And glaze upon your eyes


(Chorus)
Am      G        C
All the things I said and done
F
Lost forever
Am       G        C
Watch it all come crashing down
F
We'll die together
Am
Burn it down

Burn it down

While I bring hell remain deceived

By battered wings and broken limbs

Motivate the killer with the poisonous liver
           Am            Em
And return grace my only forgiver
               C                 G
That freed the sinner to restore faith
             Am                Em
And watch us break connect the dots

Before you wake

Before you wake
             Am
These wicked faces

You're gonna burn like the sun

Burn it down we'll die together

All the things are said and done
F                Am
Now you're gonna burn


(Bridge)
Am                  Em
Love is a forgotten face
        C                 G
I can't erase this silent sound
    Am          Em
And love cannot replace
            C                   G
Your wicked face that's burning down


(Pre-chorus altered)
             Am            Em
You're gonna burn like the sun
        C                   G
When my flames come raining down
       Am                Em
I will avenge you by the storm
              C               G
And watch the glaze upon your eyes


(Chorus)
Am      G        C
All the things I said and done
F
Lost forever
Am       G        C
Watch it all come crashing down
F
We'll die together
Am
Burn it down
G
Burn it down
C                  F
Burn it down we'll die together
Am      G          C
All the things are said and done
F                Am
Now you're gonna burn
             Am
You're gonna burn
             Am
You're gonna burn
             Am
You're gonna burn

Die Together

(V1)
C            E                    Am
  You walk the streets never feel no guilt
                      F
You make your money selling guns on the playground
C          E                    Am
I'm so ashamed cause we're all the same
                      F
Killing in the name money is the game now
C          E                    Am
And you're buying bombs and we pay the price
                      F
Eat your lies and we feed it to the children
C          E                    Am  
Is this what you want, is this what you need 
                      F
You're gonna kill us all to bring peace


(Chorus 1)
C       E          Am          F   
 My blood, my soul is my enemy
C       E          Am          F   
My life, my love is poison to me
C       E          Am          F   
I know it's not how it's supposed to be
C       E          Am          F        C
Got no choice, no voice, I have no dignity

E , Am , F   

(V2)
C          E                    Am
You manipulate with your bag of tricks,
                      F
You're playing God with the world on my shoulder
C          E                    Am
I can't regulate cause the worlds at stake
                      F
We're so lost that we all think it's over
C          E                    Am
But I'm the one to blame for this burning pain
                      F
It's eating up the world and we gonna live it in shame
C          E     
It's hard to maintain
            Am          F
When it's so insane it's so, so insane

N.C.
So kids don't listen to your parents

The parents can't teach us
                                        C
All they ever left was a world in a mess

(Chorus 1)
C       E          Am          F   
 My blood, my soul is my enemy
C       E          Am          F   
My life, my love is poison to me
C       E          Am          F   
I know it's not how it's supposed to be

(Bridge)
C    E    Am           F
         We got no control of the state of our minds
C    E    Am                     F
       Now I see that all I ever lived was a lie
C    E    Am                   F
           We're all duped to believe

That there's no way around

There's no way around 
Am
There's no way around
F
There's no way around

(Chorus 2 [without chords])
My blood, my soul is my enemy
My life, my love is poison to me
I know it's not how it's supposed to be
Got no choice, no voice, I have no dignity

Fall Into These Arms

[Verse 1]

A                D            E
I still can’t get over the sex we had
       A            D              E 
Let me tell about my girl, god help me
          A            D                    E 
She had a finger wave, and disco veins, and spaceship lips 
       A             D                E 
I said “Houston I’ve landed, let’s go steady”

A                D1                  
On Sa-tur-day she seemed different
C#             E               A D E 
She turned and kissed another GIRRRRL…


[Chorus]

    A                  D   E
And she’s in love with her yeah yeah yeah
A D E

       A        D            E 
Oh now I know, tonight that she ain’t mine.


*bass notes only*
A                     D               E 
She’s got a girl crush she thinks I’m famous
        A           D            E
I guess I’m close enough to be dangerous


[Verse 2]

A               D                E 
I still can’t remember where we met that night
               A             D              E 
But there were Coney Island freaks surfing cocaine
              A                D            E 
And when the wave crashed down and a full black moon out
       A                 D             E 
I said “You’re the only cat on my runway”

A                  D1                  
She had me hook, line and sinker
C#           E                     A D E
Maybe she thinks I’m just a little GIRRRL…


[Chorus]

    A                 D  E
But I’m in love with her yeah yeah yeah

She’s so, so bad it hurts yeah yeah yeah

I lay my head and cry aye aye aye
A D E

All because I know tonight that she ain’t mine.

I'm feeling powerless
G
I'm feeling hopeless
          Am                           F
I see the world beneath us open to the darkness

I see it everywhere
           G
There's no progress
               Am                        F
It's like I'm slowly giving into all the madness

C G Am F
I stand here imperfect right before you
Been searching so long for a way to get through
Swallowed the universe abandoned my youth
I still can't forsake what I feel is true
I was made out of dust by a voice in the wind
To conquer my fears and rise like king
I will always evolve and never give in
I will follow my dreams cause I know I will win

F                       C
And if you don't take a stand

                  F                 C
Set the wheels in motion and rise again

Higher and higher
Am          G
We will overcome
    C
My friend

C G Am F
And I will not justify what I did
Through the pain sweat and tears I have learned to forgive
So live out your life cause it is a gift
And rise up above; take the whole world with you
I stand here naked this is my truth
Hold on to your innocence and beauty of youth
And don't ever forget the power lies within
Being born ain't a crime you can be what you want to

F                       C
And if you don't take a stand
G
You won't understand

 Just a little bit of love to get us by
A
 Goodbye, we're on our way

 You and I, we got it made

 Throw your gold into a wishing well

West End Kids

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,

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

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty

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.

A                                         E

to remind yourself that you forgot
