F A A# F
F A A# C

F               A      A#                F
No one needs to tell me how to g-g-get down
F                  A      A#                C
But won't somebody show me how to get back up 
  F              A           A#          C
I thought about killing my landlord but he was pretty nice 
F                    A           A#              C
   Instead I paid my rent on time as often as I could 
          A#                              C
I've been making strange friends in the desert 
                A                A#
Yeah they love Jesus and America too. 
            C                     X                         
It ain't as bad as it sounds, someday I'll explain it to you 

INTRO

F                     A      A#                F
It's not that I mind sleeping alone in the grass 
F                         A                  A#                      C
It's just that I've been dreaming since well  maybe I ain't woke up yet
F               A               A#              C
  But nothing's been quite the same since you shot yourself 
F                    A                  A#                                 C
I don't know if you believe in ghosts I'd hope you'd haunt me if you were one
           A#                            C                            
I've been trying not to steal from everybody I know 
     A                    A#
But so far that's impossible
                           C                             F
But here in the desert somehow I hope that someday it won't
A               A#    F
Be that way for me 
            F A             A#      C
No it won't be that way for me anymore

First Song

Intro (G-A#-G-A#-G-A#-D-C-A#-G)x2


G                         Am                   
This car is a war machine that runs on nicotine and gasoline
C                            D         
D-d-d-don't you fucking know this is the wrong side of the road?
G         D                         Em       C
Who needs brakes when it's all down-hill from here?
B                       C    D
And if we ain't died yet then maybe we never will
G                 A#                   C           D#      F
But I don't wanna burn out, so won't you please set me on fire again?
G                 A#                   C           D#      F
I woke up afraid of losing everything; thank god that I already have
G                 A#                   C           D#      F
So if you love me then listen: mind your own fucking business!
G                 A#                   C           D#      F
If you love me enough to stay, then please love me enough to stay...

Intro:(D-A#-G-A#-G-A#-D-C-A#-D)x2
enough to stay away

G                        Am  
I swear on my last cigarette that I'd love you my 
      C                       D      G 
d-d-darling I'd love you if I could, but since the day I was born
 Am                           C                       D
It's been too late for me to be anything but what I am tonight
G                 D                     Em           C
And what I am is drunk and what I am is mean in your passenger seat
B                                          C                D
Seat belts are for people who have time to die; hell, I don't even have time to sleep
G                      A#              C         D#          F
Because I don't wanna miss a moment of loathing everything that I see
G          A#               C            D#                         F
I stay up nights afraid of everything, 'til all that's left is the shadows and me
G          A#                    C       D#           F
Ask me from sunrise to sunset: no, I ain't left the house yet
G       A#                      C       D#           F
I finally love you enough to stay... enough to stay away

Bridge ( G A# D# F)
G   B     C                   D
Aw shit, I wish I had a job to quit
G        B              C               D
I wish I had a boss that I could tell to fuck off
G           B           C             D
Give me the satisfaction of a dramatic exit
        G                B                  C                D
And not just a long car ride and a short goodbye in a parking lot

i want freedom, not a boss that comes in a forty ounce bottle of anything or
F
taped scotch paper.
      C                               G                           Am
i eat meat and drive trucks and shoot guns and don't trust in the federal

government to solve our problems.
    C                             G                      Am
you might think Im joking, but Im not a republican. call me when your
                F
president pulls out of Afghanistan,
        C                      G                        Am
because that's the day Ill get a cell phone number, and you can call and
        F                          C
leave a message on voice mail that day.

C G Am F x2

  C                         G                        Am
i fell asleep smoking so Id wake up on fire, because that might get me out
   F
of bed for a while
    C                         G                              Am
and back into battle with the things that I breathe, and the holes in my
              F
arms, and the way that i think.
       C                     G                         Am
and if freedom is doing what i want, well that means I gotta know what that
        F
is, not just what it isn't.
       C                       G                                  Am
so Ill dig up the dirt and Ill throw down some seeds, because the world
                        F                       C         G
needs more spinach, not more motherfuckers like me.

I don't believe in heaven, I do believe in hell
C                               D
It's down the street from here, And we both lived there for years
G                               D                                C
We burned the calendars for warmth, And the alarm clocks just for fun
                               D
We closed the blinds to make goddamn sure
                        C
That we could never see the sun
                        A#
You could set a watch by the bottle returns
        Em              C                       G       B

Em              G               C               D       D...
Nothing's free but time when you're so damn poor
G                               Em
But the past was death row, And the future's a battlefield 
C                               D
I hope we choose the right war 
G                                       Em
Because I've been fist fighting gravity, Since the day I learned how to breathe 
C                                       D
And I still wake up On the same cold floor i fell asleep on
G               D               C       C
So I won't, but we shall overcome someday 
G               D               C       C
I can't do it alone, but I shall be free someday

As long as freight trains run And loners pick up dreamers with thumbs
                G
Who needs governments to get a letter to you 
                D
Or a mixtape to me, or a postcard to Johnstown? 
        C
What's a thousand miles between friends? 
        D
What's a friend that's not worth crossing a country? 
        G               D
But I owe money and broken hearts 
                        C
From Philly to Sydney and back to Vermont

But the past was a mine field, And right now is a prison break

I hope we make it alive
G                               Em
When who we are doesn't stop where the law begins 
C                               D
Then we'll storm their court houses to survive

So I won't, but we shall overcome someday

         D                                             G
oh yeah, i was gonna be real different than the person i became. 

         Am            C      D
i always wanted to die young. 
G        Am            C      D
i always wanted to die young. 
G        Am            C      
i always wanted to die young; 
           D             C

but now living's a struggle, except when it isn't. (yeah), 
G             Em                        C
i woke up this morning and i wasn't in prison, 
G                   Em                 C
but i can't promise that i'm far from it. 
                                                   
i'd still kill a man for cigarette, 
G                    Em               C
but with friends like you, who needs homicide? 
G                         Em                    C                           
so this song goes out to all our homies locked down. 
G       Em                     C        
come on back now, we need you around. 
G              Em                      C
that judge, he doesn't know what he's done. 
G          Em                          C                 
no, judges never know the things they do. how could they?

F                           A
I took the needle out of my arm about
A#          F
A year ago today,
F                                  A
And every day since then I've been taking
A#                    C
The needle out of my brain.
A#                              C
So when I'm staring down at my hands I can't explain
     A                            A#
Just what it is that I'm thinking of,
                             C                        F
Except thank god that all my veins have to pump is my blood.

F A A# F
F A A# C


F                     A
I've done you so much wrong I can't believe
A#               F
You would still talk to me.
F                          A
And I say so much bullshit I can't believe
A#                         C
That anyone around me can breathe.
A#                         C
I know that it's a little dramatic,
    A                            A#
But the word for not changing is “dead.”
                          C                                   F                       
So I'm getting better, my friends, but please don't hold your breath.

F              A
I met a man in rehab the first time,
A#               F
An organizer in prison.
F                            A
He lived in Chicago when the cops shot Fred Hampton,
A#                          C
But he was just a kid back then.
A#                         C
Justice doesn't flow from police guns,
    A                        A#
I'm reminded of that all the time.
                      C                    F
As long as there is a law, peace will be a crime.

F A A# F
F A A# C

F                   A
What the news calls economics,
A#               F
I still call it violence.
F                A
If your god is a judge or a jailer,
A#               C
I'm still an atheist.
A#                              C
But I try to have faith in the things that will happen;
A                       A#
I get saved from myself when i do.
                               C                      F
So maybe “god” isn't the right word, but I believe in you.

First Song Part 2

Intro:

Dm A Dm C A
Dm A Dm C A

Dm                                          A
well, i'm afraid that the circles i've been drinking myself
                                      Dm           C         A
aren't big enough for the vowels that i try to fit inside of them.
Dm
when i was young, i drank too much,
            A                                                     Dm
and i'd be lying if i said i didn't feel so goddamn young tonight;
          C                         A
maybe too young to ask what's on my mind.
A#                      Dm
like: if freedom means doing what you want (well),
A                    Dm
don't you gotta want something?
A#                             Dm                                 A
and won't you tell me that we want something more than just more beer?

and my friends, if that ain't true, won't you lie to me tonight? Oh yeah!

(Fast part) Am G E F x3, strum Am once then muted strumming

Dm                                 A
well, i've been listening to minor threat records all day,

and shit if i do not know every word.
Dm     C              A
i sing along as i tie off.
Dm                                      A
and ian screams he's “out of step” as i throw the cotton into the spoon, draw up into 
the syringe.
Dm                     C                   A
i'll know just what he means until i hit a vein.
A#                Dm                        A                               Dm
but after that i won't have to bother with knowing who i am, for a while at least.
A#                     Dm
in a moment the whole world is gonna melt around me,
A
and i'll swear i don't miss it as a i lie to you tonight.
F            A                 Dm           A#
because i'm afraid to look the world in the eye.
F            A                  Dm               A#
if nothing's gonna change, well, then i'd rather die.
F                         A
and i'm too unemployed to organize a union;
    Dm              A#
i'm too intoxicated to tear down a building.
F                   A
i'm too hopeless to look for a solution;
    Dm
i'm afraid that if i found one,
    A#                         F
i'd be out of excuses for the way i waste away
       A                         Dm                        A#
in the gutters that i chose like fashion accessories to go with my dirty clothes.
  F                                 A                              Dm
i haven't bathed in months, but you know it's not because i've been fighting bourgeois morals:
          A#
i'm just lazy and i'm young.

Dm                                  A
i've seen the best minds of my generation dying drunk or high from the rooftops to the 
parking lots,
Dm                   C                  A
stomped to death in west philadelphian squats.
Dm                                          A
they've got me waiting on a day when we can say “fuck the police!” with a little bit of integrity,
Dm                       C                            A
when it will mean: “i've got your back if you've got mine!”
A#                     Dm                    A               Dm
give me a scene where i believe in more than bad hair cuts, guilt, and misery.
A#                                    Dm
i don't know where i fit between the vegans and the nihilists.
A
that might be the first thing i've said that wasn't a lie tonight.
F                        A                         Dm              A#
because there's gotta be something more than lying in the front yard, naked, screaming 
at the constellations.
F                             A                     Dm                    A#
i want something more than an apology to say when i look the world in the eye.
                    F                                 A
i'll tell you, man, my friend william came to me with a message of hope.
      Dm                          A#
it went: “fuck you and everything that you think you know.
   F                          A                                                        Dm      A# 
if you don't step outside the things that you believe they're gonna kill you.”
          F                                           A                               Dm
he said: “no one's gonna stop you from dying young, and miserable, and right,
                          A#
but if you want something better, you gotta put that shit aside.”
F                       A                        Dm                 A#
i thought about how for thousands of years there have been people who told us that 
things can't go on like this:
F                       A
from jesus chris to the diggers,
                Dm
from malthus to zerzan,
                 A#
from karl marx to huey newton,
                  F             A             Dm            A#
but the shit goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on


C                        A#
now, i'm not saying that we can't change the world,
        F         C               Dm             A#
because everybody does at least a little bit of that.
   Dm            A           A#                      F
but i won't shit myself: the way i'm living is a temper tantrum
     D                     A                    A#            C
and i need something else, need something else, need something else to stay alive.


 Jam: F  A  Dm  A#  F  A  Dm  C  A#  A  F  G 


A#                       Dm                      A                               Dm
and on the night that i play my last show, i'll be singing so loud that my heart explodes.
A#                        Dm                      A
and i'll be singing, and i'll be singing: we are free!
A#            Dm                      A                        Dm
oh, but won't you promise me that we won't ever forget what the means?
A#                   Dm                    A
i know it's hard to give a shit sometimes, but promise me we'll always try.
A#                     Dm                          A
because i don't wanna hate you, and i don't wanna hate me,
A#           Dm                 A
and i don't wanna have to hate everything anymore.

Goddamn we must be living in the last days if
    Dm                        C         A#
the president's black but the system is racist
       Dm                      C           A#
when I got to your house every body was wasted
      Dm                      C           A#
gotta hang those crackers who lynched troy davis
     Dm                       C               A#
if I start to believe in the words that we're saying
      Dm                       C           A#
gonna get locked up or knocked dead on the pavement
  Dm                   C           A#
chinga la frontera but while we're waiting
         Dm                      C       A#
got some new punk vinyl and it's fucking amazing




    F                   C               Dm          A#
but don't you dare push play on that record player before
 F              C                      Dm               A#
you can give me one good reason not to walk out of this door

Em                   F              Dm         C           A#
drive your car up to oro valley and burn every store I can find
  F                        C                   Dm               A#
because these days it just seems like the best thing that I can try
      F              C         Dm         A#
is to never leave my house for weeks at a time
Em             F            Dm      C       A#                  
so nobody asks how I am and I don't have to lie

Dm                       C        A#
I swear every song is a prophesy or it's
Dm                        C          A#
a promise we have to live up to before it's 
Dm                          C         A#
even worth the time that it took to record it
         Dm                        C           A#
because I don't want to be another asshole on tour because
    Dm                C           A#
I'm too lazy to go to work in the morning
      Dm                             C         A#
and I guess that's true but this has got to be more than 
   Dm                    C            A#
a bomb shelter for us to ride out the war in
    Dm                           C           A#
I'd sooner kiss these ruins than fucking ignore them




    F                   C           Dm      A#
but don't you dare give up on us or anarchy before
F                C              Dm            A#
you can name one government not rotten to its core
Em              F             Dm          C           A#
when this world finally burns who will be holding the torch?
F                  C                   Dm          A#
these days it just seems like the best thing I can try
      F             C        Dm         A#
is to never go back home for weeks at a time 
Em                    F                   Dm      C       A#
so the landlord don't ask for the rent and I dont have to lie

Last Days

Intro: [A E D] x2

Verse: [A E D]

A          E          D
     The trains roll by my porch

A               E           D
Down here where nothing can live

              A           E
And I've been smoking too much

         F#m      D
Because I am no exception

    A           E        D
You knew that already, I think

If you want salvation
Then you ought to go see a priest
'Cause forgiveness from those that we hurt
In this world never was guaranteed

Chorus: [A F#m E D]

    A                 F#m
I'm coming home, it's late again

            E         D
I'm high as I've ever been

       A                  F#m
You're sitting up, you're in our bed

       E              D
Crying for a ghost again

   A                F#m
No room could be as dark

         E          D
Or as empty as ours is

       A               F#m
'Cause I'm at home but I'm not here

    E       D
And I never am

Verse: [A E D]

I wonder how many friends
Roll past my house in the night?
In boxcars they sleep
With hearts stashed in their backpacks
They'll make California all right
A promise from me
Is just a lie I ain't told yet
So I'm ready to die
But I'm not willing to watch
You watch me die here in our bed

Chorus: [A F#m E D]

I'm lying down, I've been nodding out
Since I don't know when
The lights are on, you're standing up
Screaming at a ghost again
Darling, I'm home; hell I ain't left
This house of ours in days
But I'm not here; I never am
So I just can't stay

Outro: [A F#m D E]

   A            F#m            D
My darling, I'm never coming back

               E
From where I'm going

   A            F#m           D     
My darling, I'm never coming home

   A            F#m           D
My darling, I'm never coming back

                E
From where I'm going

   A            F#m           D
My darling, I'm never coming home

      E              
Never coming home again

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
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up

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
