R.E.M. were an alternative rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 1980. The band originally consisted of Michael Stipe (vocals), Peter Buck (guitar, mandolin), Mike Mills (bass, keyboards, vocals) and  Bill Berry (drums). Berry retired from the band in October 1997 after having suffered a brain aneurysm in 1995.  R.E.M. released its first single, &quot;Radio Free Europe&quot;, in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone.

1st verse :
     Am              Em                                Am
Oh, life it's bigger, it's bigger that you and you are not me
                        Em                          Am
The lengths that I will go to, the distance in your eyes
Em                   Dm                 G
 Oh no I've said too much, I've said it all
                    Am                     Em
That's me in the corner, that's me in the spotlight,
              Am               Em
Losing my religion, trying to keep up with you
      Am                        
And I don't know if I can do it,
Em                   Dm                     G
 Oh no I've said too much, I haven't said enough

2nd verse :

Every whisper of every waking hour

I'm choosing my confessions trying to keep an eye on you
       Am
Like a hurt lost and blinded foal, oh
Em                   Dm              G
 Oh no I've said too much, I said it all
          Am                   Em
Consider this, consider this a hint of the century,
           Am              Em
Consider this, a slip that brought me to my knees, pale
Am                              Em
What if all these fantasies come flailing around
         Dm       G
Now I've said too much




Chorus :
                           F
I thought that I heard you laughing,
                           Am &#8211; - Am/B &#8211; - Am/C - - Am -
I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

Hear the trees, the ghosts and the buildings   sing

With the wisdom     to reconcile   this thing

Em       G                   D         A    Em   A   D   A  Em   G
... That they would just as soon forget and disguise


        D        A           Em      A
At the summer camp where you volunteered
        D        A           Em      G
No one saw your face, no one saw your fear
        D        A           Em      A
If that apparition, it just appeared
        D        A           Em      G
Took you up and away from this space
        D        A           Em      A         D     A    Em    G
In sheer humiliation, of your teenage station


D       A          Em          A
Nobody cares, no one remembers
D       A          Em          G
And nobody cares


Em        G     D        A
And you cried and you cried
Em        G     D        A
He's alive, he's alive
Em        G     D        A
And you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried

D  A  Em   A
D  A  Em   G


        D        A           Em      A
If you call out safe, then I'll stop right away
        D        A           Em      G
If the premise buckles, and the rope starts to shake
        D        A           Em      A
For the detail's marked, but the story's the same
        D        A           Em      G
You don't have to explain, you don't have to explain
        D        A           Em      A         D     A    Em    G
Humiliation ... of your teenage station


Em        G     D        A
Yeah you cried and you cried
Em        G     D        A
He's alive, he's alive
Em        G     D        A
Ah you cried and you cried and you cried

         Fmaj7         Em
And you realize your fantasies
         Fmaj7         Em
Are dressed up in travesties
Fmaj7  Em  C     B   C    A
Enjoy yourself with no regrets,  uh uh

D   A   Em   A
D   A   Em   G

           D  A  Em      A       D     A
Everybody here ... comes from somewhere
Em       G                   D         A   Em   A   D   A  Em   G
... That they would just as soon forget ... a disguise


Em        G     D        A
And you cried and you cried
Em        G     D        A
He's alive, he's alive
Em        G     D        A
Yeah you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried

        D        A           Em      A
Ah, you cried and you cried
        D        A           Em      G
Ah, you cried and you cried

        D        A           Em      A
Now, there's nothing dark and there's nothing weird
        D        A           Em      G
Don't be afraid, I will hold you near
        D        A           Em      A
From the seance where you first betrayed
        D        A           Em      G
An open heart on a darkened stage:
        D        A           Em      A         D     A    Em    G
A celebration of your teenage station


        D        A           Em      A
Zen experience, sweet delirious
        D        A           Em      G
Supernatural superserious
        D        A           Em      A
Inexperienced, sweet delirious
        D        A           Em      G
Supernatural superserious

Wow!

        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A#

And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm

Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Liability

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around

                                                     D
And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A

And you don't ask for me to change

N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change

N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                   A
(We don't even know, know, know, know, know)




[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

(Think that we'd be alright)

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine


[Chorus]

 N.C.                     D
(Oh)Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                  A

We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)

No no no no

We like it in the nighttime

Crash Years

Intro  D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away


Interlude   D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
           Bm7                   F#                G                    A
When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith
 
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A    Bm7 A       Bm7 A       G                      G   
Don't be fallin', fallin' in, fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Its the only chance for you

Situations

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
