The Execution Of All Things

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.

Sometimes in the morning, I am petrified and can't move
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

Now somedays they'll last longer than others

C               F
I'm just of real sad folk
      C           F
And '85 was our best year
       C               F
And she says it gets much worse
          C               F
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
Am              G                 F
I locked the keys in your car

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

they meet the sunrise out at the horizon

at least the water's beneath your chin.

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

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

Cause I've got evidence on my side.
C            G/b        A

Because I have no plans.


F                     C      G       C
Please be kind, don't drop a rock on me.


REFER TO FIRST VERSE PATTERN:

How many blows to the belly will this thing take
We refer to as our true love?
We both know it's dead and its been dying for some time
But we refuse to let it go.


F                     C      G       C
Please be kind, don't drop a rock on me
F
Don't go outside
C                     C/B        Am
And discover that you like being free
F
Cause if you did
C              G             C
You'd be dropping the rock on me.

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.

F                                     G         C
But it's a jungle when war is made,

and you'll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy.

The camera pulls back to reveal your true identity.

Look, it's a sheep in wolf's clothing.
G
A smoking gun holding ape.

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.
C
It's a hit.

And if it's not,
then it's a holiday for hanging
yeah it's a holiday for hanging
yeah it's a holiday for hanging
yeah it's a holiday for hanging
yeah shoo-bop-shoo-bop my baby
F  F C
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
shoo-bop-shoo-bop my baby

It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
It's a holiday for hanging, yeah

I'm a holiday for hanging,
I'm a holiday for hanging,
I'm a holiday yeah
I'm a holiday for hanging,
C
It's a holiday for hanging, yeah

I've talked you up
Am
defended your honor
And packed it in and picked it up
G
And all you can do
F
Is Just watch me go

From the eastern seaboard
The land locked midwest
The keys the alps the black hills
and the Budapest

With my heart in a sling
tail between my legs
Swinging
I`m sorry for leavin'

LA, you always let me back in


And you can bury me when my body breaks
In the earth that created me
In the Golden State
My mama and her brother
And their Mama too

Cause I had a dream I was carried on backs
Of a thousand green birds
And they carried me to a place without words
And there was nothin' but there was everything

But when the palm trees bow their heads
No matter how wrong I've been
LA, you always let me back in


But when the palm trees bow their heads
No matter how cruel I've been
LA, you always let me back in

And I was even havin' a good day
When I found out we'd lost you

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

Under The Blacklight

'It Just Is' along with the bands hit 'Ripchord' were written for the album More Adventurous as a tribute to their fellow musician, the late Elliott Smith.

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

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.
