F              C
I see your shadow on the street now
                 F                  C
I hear you push through the rusty gate
                     F          C
Click of your heels on the concrete
                      F             C
Waiting for a knock, coming way too late
                   F      C
It seems an age since I've seen ya
                             F             C
Count down as the weeks trickle into days


Em                          Am                 Em
So you come in and put your bags down

I know there's something in the air
Em                 Am                     G
How can I do this to you right now?

Is slowly creeping back now you're at home
F                         C          G
If it ever starts sinking in
     F                                  C         G
It must be when you pack up and go

Surviving

A                  F#m
Its coming round again
                       E
The slowly creeping hand
                   D     Dm
Of time and its command
                  A
Soon enough it comes 
                    F#m
And settles in its place
                    E
Its shadow in my face
                     D     Dm    
Puts pressure in my day


# CHORUS
A       E            F#m                   D     E 
  This life well its slipping right through my hands
A       E               F#m          D     E     
  These days turned out nothing like I had planned

The slow, the slowly creeping hand

These Days

Em
Come and rescue me
Em
From in the water deep
Em
Careful now don't lose your aim
Em
The road ahead is clear again
C                  B*  
I haven't found it yet 

Em
You drift away so slow
Em
In the ebb and flow
Em
So I landed on my feet
Em
The steadiness is bittersweet
C                             B
It feels the same when you're pushed
         C                B
Out and away and into the crush

Bridge:
   Em             B
In all the hidden pleasures you find
C           G9      Dsus4	C
what you're looking for
  Em            B                 C
I hope that you remember that pride
        G9     Dsus4	C
Comes before a fall

Chorus:
Em    G9        C           D
I can barely see up and down and back again
Em              G9      C           D
Despite what you believe I keep away from trouble
Em         G9      C               D
If who I am today's a sign of where I'm going
Em          G9      C		D hold----------
I'm ready to embrace

Em
Recreate the scene
Em
Of everywhere you've been
Em
Overcome the dreaded curse
Em
A symptom of the universe
C                             B
It feels the same when you're pushed
         C                B
Out and away and into the crush

Bridge

Chorus

Em                G9               C	D
If everybody knows just who you are
Em                    G9                   C	D
When your walk on role becomes a major part
Em                     G9             C	D
Have you ever attempted to be yourself
Em                            G9           C	D
When everybody wants you to be someone else

De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

Yes sir, yes sir,
G          C
Three bags full.

One for the dame,

F               C
And one for the little boy
G                  C
Who lives down the lane.

School Friends

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      C              F              C

    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

You were staying out all night and I had enough

       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

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
