Verse 2

I left you heartbroken
But not until those very words were spoken
Has anybody ever made such a fool out of you?

Even as my eyes do see it
The very things that make you live are killing you
Listen when...

C                F
Oh mama don't walk away
       G
I'm a goddam sore loser 
         C
I ain't too proud to stay 
    Am
But I'm still thinking 'bout you
            F
And I'm so lonesome without you
       D7                      G
And I can't get you out of my mind
   C                     F
Oh mama don't leave me alone
        G                                   C
with my soul sat down so tight it's like a stone cold tomb
          Am
Ain't it clear when I'm near you
          F
I'm just dying to hear you
 D7                      G
Calling my name one more time
       F            Am
Oh so don't pay no mind
       F        Am
To my watering eyes
         C
Must be something in the air
          G
That I'm breathing
        F       Am
Yes'n I try to ignore
            F                   Am
All this blood on the floor
                C                           G
It's just this heart on my sleeve that's a bleeding
    C               F
Oh mama don't walk away 
     G                                C                                    
You leave me here bereaving from the words so hard and plain
            Am
Saying the love that we had 
          F
was just selfish and sad
    D7
To see you now with him
                   F
is just making me mad
       C
Oh so kiss him again
         G
just to prove to me that you can
           F
an I will stand here
                C
and burn in my skin
            F
Yes I will stand here
                C
and burn in my skin

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind 
                                           Cm7
There was something so pleasant about that face. 

Even your emotions had an echo

In so much space 


VERSE 2

Gm
And when you're out there 

Without care,

And I hope that you are having the time of your life

That's my only advice

And all I remember Is thinking, I want to be like them

Ever since I was little, it looked like fun 
                             Cm7
And it's no coincidence I've come 
                   D7
And I can die when I'm done 


CHORUS
------
 
              G
But maybe I'm crazy

Probably

Crazy

Intro Bm, G, D G D Bm

G
She lifts her skirt up to her knees 
G				                     D
Walks through the garden of roses with her bare feet laughing 
G
I never learned to count my blessings 
G			        D
I choose instead to dwell in my disasters
Bm
I walk on the down the hill 
        F#m
Through grass grown tall and brown 
G				            D
And still it's hard somehow to let go of my pain 
Bm				  F#
On past the busted bags and that old and rusted Cadillac 
G			             D
That sinks into this field collecting rain 
D	A	G	Bm	F#
Will I always feel this way? 
D	A	G	Bm	F#
So empty, so estranged

Bm

G
And of these cut through busted sunsets 
G				D
These cold and damp white mornings I have grown weary 
G
If through my cracked and dusty dimestore lips 
				D
I spoke these words out loud would no one to hear me?
Bm
Lay your blouse across the chair 
F#
Let fall the flowers from your hair 
G				D
And kiss me with that country mouth so plain 
Bm				F#
Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves 

To me its sounds like they're 
G			D
Applauding us the sweet love we made 
D	A	G	Bm	F#
Will I always fell this way? 
D	A	G	Bm	F#
So empty so strange 

Well I looked my demons in the eyes
Laid bare my chest, said do your best, destroy me
See I've been to hell and back so many times
I must admit you kinda bore me
There's a lot of things that can kill a man, there's a lot of ways to die
Yes and some already dead who walk beside me
There's a lot of things I don't understand
Why so many people lie
Well it's the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me
Will I always feel this way?
So empty so estranged?

Empty

Ray Lamontagne - Hey Me Hey Mamma - Uke

F
Papa's in the kitchen,
G
Mama's in the field
           C
There's a murder in the henhouse
                          F
Mud flung high upon the wheels

     F
Ol' rooster in the dooryard
           G
He's just leanin' on the horn
          C
With the wind so sweetly driftin'
                      F
Through the ripening corn

F            G
Hey Me, Hey Mama
          C            F            C
Where you been for so long, for so long?
F            G
Hey Me, Hey Mama
           C                            F
Where you been, where you, been for so long?


There's something outrageous
'Bout that evening sky
Just this side of dangerous
That look in your eye

I always knew that you were crazy
Always knew you could be cruel
Still, I would do just about anything
In the world for you

Hey Me, Hey Mama
Where you been for so long, for so long?
Hey Me, Hey Mama
Where you been, where you
been for so long?

You left me standin' in the corner
With my head so hangin' down
Punch-drunk, busted up and reelin'
Like a rodeo clown

You always seem to hit me
Like a lightnin' from above
I guess I just wasn't ready for
Such a heavy-handed love.

Hey Me, Hey Mama
Where you been for so long, for so long?
Hey Me, Hey Mama
Where you been, where you
been for so long?

Hey Me, Hey Mama
Where you been for so long for so long?
Hey Me, Hey Mama
Where you been, where you
been for so long?

Intro

Am
Well the truth it fell so heavy
C
Like a hammer through the room
F                                C
That I could choose another over her
F                          Am
You always said I was an actor, baby
C                                    G
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
Am
That you never saw the signs
       C
That you never lost your grip
        F
Oh, come on now
                          C
That's such a childish claim
       F
Now I wear the brand of traitor
          Am
Don't it seem a bit absurd
          C                             G
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
          F                            Am
When it's clear I was so obviously framed

Am

        Am
Now you act so surprised
   C
To hear what you already know
F                                 C
And all you really had to do was ask
F                    
I'd have told you straight away
            Am
All those lies were truth
C                          G
And all that was false was fact


Am
Now you hold me close and hard
C
But I was like a statue at most
F                                  C
Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt
F
Now you're clawing at my throat
Am
And you're crying all is lost
C                                        G
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
F                                        Am
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt


Repeat Intro.

Well the truth it fell so heavy

Guess in truth you thought me just amateur


Am
Was it you who told me once
C
Now looking back it seems so real
F                                C          
That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
F                        Am  
So why is it now after I had my fill
C                                          G
That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
F                              C
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
F                              Am

This Love Is Over

Can you see the young and pretty 
Am
Confident as cops 
Am
Blooming laughing in the shops 
C                       G
Till the sun turns black 

Can you see the old and lonely 
Walking through the park 
Pushing grocery carts 
Till the sun turns black 

Can you see the corporate man 
He's winning on the telephone 
His possessions are his throne 
Till the sun turns black 

Can you see him in his lounger 
Watching tv in the dark 
Waiting for the spark 
Till the sun turns black 

F           C    
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
G
Ooo ooh we ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 
F            C     G
Ooo ooh we who are we?

Can you see the working classes 
Trudging through their days 
Time goes slowly when you're only waiting 
Till the sun turns black 

Can you see the wise man simply 
Living loving quietly 
Every breath he takes eternity 
Till the sun turns black

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#
I'm going where the people know my name

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.

You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
