Under The Blacklight 

Rilo Kiley was an indie rock band which formed in 1998 in Los Angeles, California, United States. The band consists of Jenny Lewis (vocals, guitar), Blake Sennett (vocals, guitar), Pierre de Reeder (bass, keyboards) and Jason Boesel (drums).  Lewis and Sennett are former child actors and were introduced to each other by Tara Subkoff, a mutual friend, in 1993. In 2001, original drummer Dave Rock left the band and was replaced by Boesel.

It Just Is

A                       E
you're obsessed with finding a new brain
               D            A
but what you need is a new body
                D                  A              E
it feels your brain has lived a thousand lives before
          A                 E
and the skin you call your home
          D                              A
holds a heart that quits and knees that buckle in
      D                A                   E
and lungs that can't breathe when they're alone
         A                       E
and the days come to you like sailors
           D                   A
you watch them as they drift away
                D     A             E 
they meet the sunrise out at the horizon


           A                E
and it's neither sink nor swim
               A                   E
at least the water's beneath your chin.


          A                    E
there's blood spilled on the floor
              D                  A
everyone's staring at you, what for?
            D           A                E
until you realize the blood is probably yours
                  A                          E
you feel you've lost something, you want it back
           D                  A
you lie emotionless on your back
          D                  A       E
and your legs aren't taking anymore requests
          A         E
those disobedient wrecks
          D                      A
how you cared for them as they carried you
       D             A            E
from class to class and coast to coast


                 A                     E
when you owned land and when you were broke
          A             E
through recessions and addictions


                D          A 
it's just your accidental death
       D         A 
your accidental death
                 D          A
it's just your accidental death
             D              E      A
you're the indian in the cougar's nest.


        A                 E
your fright gives way to memory
           D                   A
have them cough you with your love
          D                A            E
or the story your father told you long ago
          A                    E
he was hunting with his own father
      D                    A
for deer he pointed and spotted her
           D                A             E
and then tripped over some roots or some dead trees
     A             E
the gun went off, it was a mistake
        D                A
and my father was only eight
           D                 A
and as he watched the dying deer,
        E
he was changed.


                 A                   E
'cause he felt sorry for what he'd done
        A            E
and he put down his gun
                A                     E
will you feel sorry for what you've done?
          A             E
will you put down your gun?
                   A          D
cause there's no accidental death
                   D             E       A
when you're the indian in the cougar's nest

You're sleepin again alone
Cause nobody loves you

Shoulda known what it was like to be you

So come on kid
Look at what you did
I don't know if you meant it
But you did yourself in
And I was even havin' a good day
When I found out we'd lost you

Ohh, oh oh oh
It was in the singin' and the strummin'
Oh man I even saw it comin'

I'm just of real sad folk

And '85 was our best year
       C               F
And she says it gets much worse

Before it gets any better

Am             G                    F
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
Am                    G                        F
I wonder why it doesn't keep her up at night
                   C
Like it does me...

Am    G          F
I'll be in your car

A                 E       B
Awake but cannot open my eyes


(It's the same chords and pattern through out the entire song. Pretty easy. Enjoy!)

And the weight is crushing down on my lungs
I know I can't breathe
And hope someone will save me this time
And your mother's still callin you insane and high
Swearin it's different this time
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
That god never blessed her insides
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things
Crawl back into bed to dream of a time
When your heart was open wide and you love things just because
Like the sick and dying

And sometimes when you're on
You're really fuckin on
And your friends they sing along
And they love you
But the lows are so extreme
That the good seems fuckin cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absence
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
You'll fake it if you have to
And you'll show up for work with a smile
You'll be better
And You'll be smarter
And More grown up and a better daughter or son
And a real good friend
And you'll be awake
You'll be alert
You'll be positive though it hurts
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
And you'll be a real good listener
You'll be honest
You'll be brave
You'll be handsome and you'll be beautiful
You'll be happy

Your ship may be comin in
You're weak but not givin in
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
And your ship may be comin in
You're weak but not givin in
And you'll fight it you'll go out fightin all of em

Any chimp can play human for a day.
Use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform
and run for office on election day
fancy himself a real decision maker
and deploy more troops than salt shakers.

Any asshole can open up a museum.
Put all of the things he loves on display
so everyone could see them.
The house, a car, a thoughtful wife
ordinary moments in his ordinary life.

But if she breaks a smile, she'll give you away
'cause no one wants to pay to see your happiness.
No one wants to pay to see your day to day
and I'm not buying it either
but I'll try selling it anyway.

Any idiot can play Greek for a day
and join a sorority or write a tragedy
and articulating all that pain
and maybe you'll get paid.

But it's a sin when success complains,
and your writers block- it don't mean shit.
Just throw it against the wall and see what sticks.
Gotta write a hit.
I think this is it.

It's a hit.

And if it's not,

Any fool can play executioner for a day,
and say with fingers pointed in both directions
'he went thataway',
It's only a switch or syringe,
aww, exempt from eternal sins.
But you still wear a cross,
and you think you're gonna get in.

Ah, but the pardons never come from up-stairs.
They're always a moment too late,
but it's entertainment
keep the crowd on their toes,
it's justice, we're safe.
It's not a hit, it's a holiday

Let Me Back In (i Love L.a.)

C             G
when we broke down
         Am          Em  
in that small mining town
      Am        Em
i was ready for quitting
Am           C
my guard was down
       C          G
it was summer all day
        Am           E
in your dad's chevrolet
E   Am       G       C
and so we decided to stay
    E  Am        G      Am
and we want spectacular views
G           C            Am
if we're to stay for the weekend
    E   Am
and you swear
         G         Am
there'll be no bad news
      C           G        E           C
if we stay, if we stay without looking back
             C             G
we'll take a small private room 
       Am     Em
with a window please
      Am           Em
if it opens that's fine
   Em         C
to let in the breeze
           C           G
we've been waiting all year 
        Am          E
for someone to just say
Am        C            E            C
everyone fucks up it's going to be ok
        E    Am
and the prop planes 
     G        Am
they fly overhead
        E    C          G
you can hear them returning
    E  Am      G         Am
and maybe it's all in my head 
         C             G          Em  C
but i'll save my complaints for tomorrow
    C            G          Am           Em
and when you got sick i was sad for some days
        C            Em
but i'm feeling much better
       Am       C
i just sleep it away
C             G
now it's just like 
Am       E
we never was 
E    C         G          C   
some things go bad just because
        E   Am
and the freeways 
     G           Am
they go coast to coast 
        E     C           G    C
they've taken away all my good friends
    E Am    G              Am
and i don't care if you're broke
    C          G      E    C
you can't stay here tomorrow
        E      Am   G         Am
and the dreams have come back again 
    G             C        E
but this time i'm not just watching them
    E  Am G     Am
its me as pilot instead 
    C          G         E    C
and i land the plane all by myself
       C          G      E   C
no you can't stay here tomorrow

Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    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           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
