Swing Life Away

E                                        A
We've been alright up until now
             E                                B
But the air that we breathe is about to run out
           E                                          A
We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud
            E                                  B
But the cue never came and the lights,
                           E
They never went down
                                 A
So we're passing the time
                            E
While time passes us
                           B                             E
The fast lane's a term never applied to us
                            A
Not a dime to my name
                           E
Or a prayer in the world
                       B
I walk out the door


E      A        E                    B
Destination: anywhere but here
                   E
Away from you!
                          A
Now I'm on my way to the other side
E                     A                E
I'll forget everything I left behind
                      A
These empty rooms
B
Are still filled with you


E                                     A
And so I dropped out of my own race
    E
A race with no finish line,
B
No first or last place
E                      A
These faces all rush right past me
   E                    B
I turn and walk away
                  E                                       A
'Cause we finally know now what our time here's about,
                      E
We were not meant to be
              B
Another face in the crowd
             E
We're a forest of lives
              A
And we grow tall and wide
                 E                 B
And we'll never be cut down


E      A        E                    B
Destination: anywhere but here
                   E
Away from you!
                          A
Now I'm on my way to the other side
E                     A                E
I'll forget everything I left behind
                      A
These empty rooms
B
Are still filled with you



E         A           E                            B
I'm so tired and turned around and scared
E            A          E                 B
And I'm lying in empty beds again
E                          A
I'll wait for you to come
E                         B
To your senses, barbed wire fences
             E         A          E
Won't keep me from breaking through
   B
I swear I will to you


E                       A
Now I'm on my way to the other side
E                     A
I'll forget everything I left behind
E                   A
These empty rooms
B
Are still filled with you
A
Are still filled with you


E          A           E                            B
I'm so tired and turned around and scared
E            A          E                 B
And I'm lying in empty beds again
                    E
Away from you

Anywhere But Here 

# VERSE:
Em           G              D              C   D Em
  We are the children you reject and disregard
             G                   D               C   D Em
These aching cries come from the bottom of our hearts
             G              D                      C   D  Em
You can't disown us now, we are your own flesh and blood
          G               D                   C          D   Em      
We don't disappear just because your eyes are shut, Now tell me

# PRE-CHORUS:
C
Love, Loss
                    D
Like a bullets path

Tear, Through
                 C
The cavity of my chest

Lights, Out
                     D(ring out)
Because the fuse has blown

# INTERLUDE:

    B  B  B  B  A  G  F#  G   <---corresponding chords  
    
# CHORUS:
Em      G       D
As your castles crumble slowly
C  G          D    
We watch them fall
Em        G          D
The crown slips from heads unworthy
C      G    D
 As we take control

# VERSE:
This is the family that we crossed or never had
This is a war that was lost the day that it began
Because it's the race we run, but it keeps us at the start
It's the song I sung from the bottom of heart, That's how we

# PRE-CHORUS:
Read, You
Like a polygraph
Not, One
Single bone in your back
own, Up
To how you let us down

# INTERLUDE

# CHORUS:
As your castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
The crown slips from heads unworthy
As we take control

# BRIDGEI:
C                    D
  Except for you and me, love
                Em                                G      C
Everyone is the same, we know we know, we know we know..
                           D
But if to live, we have to be numb
                    Em                               G       C
I'd rather know the pain, I'd rather know I'd rather know..
                    D
This happens almost never
                        Em
But it happened once to me
                       G         C
And this will never be same...
                   D
The ends we seam together

# BRIDGEII: (played same as chorus but softer)
Em      G     D
I'm not after fame and fortune
C   G     D
I'm after you
Em        G         D               C      G        D(ring out)
 When I've served my time I swear I   will come for you

# CHORUS:
As your castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
The crown slips from heads unworthy
Right on to ours, but I'm after you

          C G D
I'm after you

Savior

Am                                  G
Are there no fighters left here any more?
Am                                       G
Are we the generation we've been waiting for?
          Dm
Or are we patiently burning
        Em    Am               G
Waiting to be saved?
Am                                      G
Our heroes and icons have mellowed with age
Am                                 G
Following rules that they once disobeyed
Dm
They're now being led
                  Em       Am
When they used to lead the way

       F                C
Do you still believe in all the things
     G               Em
that you stood by before?
        F                 C
Are you out there on the front lines
   G               Am           G
Or at home keeping score?
       F              C            G                     Am
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
             F                          G
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Am                                                G
They laid out the blueprints, they poured down a base
Am                               G
Concrete solutions to slow our decay
Dm
And when they are gone
                     Em         Am             G
Who the f*ck's gonna take their place?
Am                                 G
Will it be the cynics, the critics galore?
Am                                 G
Cliche apathetic passed out on the floor
Dm                                   Em    Am
The trusting complicit who collectively ignore

       F                C
Do you still believe in all the things
     G               Em
that you stood by before?
        F                 C
Are you out there on the front lines
   G               Am           G
Or at home keeping score?
       F              C            G                     Am
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
             F                          G
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Am
Don't you remember when you were young
Am                                 Dm
And you wanted to set the world on fire?
               Em              Am
Somewhere deep down, I know you do
Am
And don't you remember when we were young
Am                                Dm
And we wanted to set the world on fire?
               Em             Am
Because I still am and I still do
        G                  F
Make no mistake we are not afraid
            C
To bear the burden of repeating
             Am
What they're thinking anyway
                G                    F
Let's raise the stakes on the bet we made
         C
Let's decide to be the architects
                   Am                G
The masters of our fate

       F                C
Do you still believe in all the things
     G               Em
that you stood by before?
    F           C
And after everything we've seen here
G          Am           G
Maybe even more
       F                  C        G               Am
And I know we're not the only ones we were not the first
             F                             G              Am
Unapologetically we'll stand behind each word

# Intro: C G Am F X2

C               G
  I can still remember
                        Am
The words and what they meant
                             F
As we etched them with our fingers

In years of wet cement
C                        G
  Days blurred into each other
                         Am
Though everything seemed clear
                       F
We cruised along at half speed 

But then we shifted gears 


Am           F               C                D
 We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
Am        F                   G
 But even then we should have stayed


              Am   F
But we ran away
    C              G
Now all my friends gone
   Am          F              C                   G
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
      Am   F
Runaway 
C                  G
what are we running from ?
  Am                 F             C           G
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
      Am   G    F
Where have they gone ? 


C               G
  Identities assume us 
                     Am
As nine and five add up
              F
Synchronizing watches 

To the seconds that we lost
C                  G
  I looked up and saw you
                    Am
I know that you saw me
                   F
We froze but for a moment

In empathy 


Am                   F               C               D
  I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
Am          F          G
 You gave my emptiness away 


             Am   F
And you ran away
    C              G
Now all my friends gone
   Am          F              C                   G
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved

Runaway

Where have they gone ? 
 

Am     F   C             Am   F    G
 We?re all ok, until the day we?re not
Am   F       C                 Am  F  G
 The surface shines, while the inside rots
Am  F         C             Am  F  G
 We raced the sunset and we almost won
Am  F           C               Am     F    G
 We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on 


            Am   F
And we ran away
    C              G
Now all my friends gone
   Am          F              C                   G
Maybe we?ve outgrown all the things that we once loved

Audience Of One

Em                    C
simply because you can breathe doesn't mean you're alive,
G                  Dm
or that you really live,
Em                     C
this life has taken its toll,
                 G                          Dm
she just doesn't know how much more she can give 

    Em                     C			
But here, at the top of the world, 
                 G                     Dm
where I raise my hands and I clench my fists,
    Em                   C
they stand before me below demanding the 
G                       Dm
answers with flips of a switch

Em             Dm                   C
I don't understand where you got this idea,
   Em              Dm     C		
so deeply engrained in your head (that this world)
   Em            Dm      C
is something that you must impress,
  Em    Dm           C
cause I couldn't care less

  Em                   C			  
a need for revolution's rising, 
                G                    Dm
it comes to the surface, gasping for air,
          Em                      C
and we're not putting up with this planet 
         G                       Dm
one more day, much less one more year

 Em               C
I have an american dream,
                      G	                  Dm
but it involves black masks and gasoline,
                        Em	      C	
one day I'll turn these thoughts into screams,
                           G            Dm	
at a world that turned its back down on me

Chamber The Cartrigde

C         F
In the face of change,
C             G                  C
that's when she turned to me and said:
         F         C   G
"I'm not sure anymore..."
  C         F
And there, amidst the waves
        C		    	
and the cloudless skies...
     G                    C			
That blanket, the year before...
  F                     C   G
I watch my life wash ashore.
(PM)
  C                  F
Have you ever been a part of something
 C      G                  C
that you thought would never end?
    F                    C    G
And then, of course, it did.
 c                    F
HAVE you ever felt the weight inside you,
 C          G             C
pulling away inside your skin?
     F                 C    G
Then something had to give...

G  G G7 G6add11

C
 And now the lines are drawn...
G
 Is this feeling gone?
C                  F                   C
 The best parts of this have come and gone
            G              F     F
and now that... is all that this iiiis.
C
 With the reasons clear,
G
 We'll spend another year...
C
 Without direction,
F             C
 full of fear,
              G	          F    F
but now things... will be differeeent.

(PM)
 C                    F
There's nothing simple when it comes to you and I...
 C                G                      C
  Always something in this everchanging life;
          F                 C      G
and there probably always will.
 C                       F
NOW that time is getting harder to come by,
  C                      G               C
  the same arguments are always on our minds,
             F                C    G
killed this slowly fading lights.

G  G G7 G6add11

C
 And now the lines are drawn...
G
 Is this feeling gone?
C                  F                   C
 The best parts of this have come and gone
            G              F     F
and now that... is all that this iiiis.
C
 With the reasons clear,
G
 We'll spend another year...
C
 Without direction,
F             C
 full of fear,
              G	          F    F
but now things... will be differeeent.

C
And now something, has kept me here too long...
C
And you can't leave me, if I'm already gone

        C         F            Am       G
And now something, has kept me here too long...\
              C         F              G        2x
And you can't leave me, if I'm already gone... /

       C                       F	
And we make the same mistakes; we're always hanging on.
Am                 G		 
Break the promises we're always leaning on.
C            F               G	
All this time  spent waking up...
    C                   F	
Now keep this line open  to get this call from you,
Am                   G
speak the words that keep me coming back to you
C            F             G
Now this time  it's all different...

C
And now something has kept me here too long,
              C
and now I'm gone...

He said, "Son,

Have you see the world?
                         F
Well, what would you say
                   C
If I said that you could?
                    F                       
Just carry this gun. 
                          C
and you’ll even get paid."

They cut off my hair

but it looked alright
                       F
We marched and we sang
                     C
We all became friends

As we learned how to fight

A hero of war
                      F
Yeah that’s what I’ll be
                C
And when I come home
                         G
They’ll be damn proud of me
                     Am 
I’ll carry this flag
                  F
To the grave if I must
                             C
Because it’s the flag that I love
                G
And a flag that I trust


Verse 3
                     C
I kicked in the door
                    Em 
I yelled my commands
                   F
The children, they cried
           C
But I got my man
                 F
We took him away
                   C
A bag over his face
                        G        Csus2
From his family and his friends

Verse 4
                          C
They took off his clothes
                   Em 
They pissed in his hands
               F
I told them to stop
              C
But then I joined in
                      F 
We beat him with guns
                    C
And batons not just once
              G    Csus2
But again and again 


Chorus
          Am 
A hero of war
                      F
Yeah that’s what I’ll be

They’ll be damn proud of me

I’ll carry this flag

To the grave if I must

Verse 5
    C                          
She walked 
                    Em
through bullets and haze
               F
I asked her to stop
                C
I begged her to stay
                  F
But she pressed on
               C
So I lifted my gun
             G    Csus2
And I fired away

Verse 6
     C                          
The shells 
                    Em
jumped through the smoke

And into the sand
                       C
That the blood now had soaked
          F                           
She collapsed 
                   C
with a flag in her hand
                 G     Csus2
A flag white as snow


Chorus
          Am   
A hero of war
                  F
Is that what they see
                      C
Just medals and scars
                 G
So damn proud of me
                         Am
And I brought home that flag
               F
Now it gathers dust
                       C
But it’s a flag that I love
                   G
It’s the only flag I trust


Outro
          C                           Em
He said, "Son, have you seen the world? 
                    F                       C
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"

# Verse 1

Am                                  F            G
Do you spend your days counting the hours you're awake?

Am                                  F            G
And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same

Am                                  F            G
There's a burden you've been bearing in spite of all your prayers

Am                                  
There's a light turned off inside your heart

F                G
Can you remember what it's like to care?

E                         F                G
Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can't breathe

# Chorus

Am       
So give me the drug, keep me alive

         F
Give me what's left of my life

Don't let me go, whooaa

          Am                  
Pull this plug, let me breathe

On my own, I'm finally free

# Verse 2

Am                                  F            G
The trail of crumbs you left somehow got lost along the way

Am                                  F            G
If you never meant to leave then you only had to stay

Am                                  F            G
But the memories that haunt us are cherished just the same

Am                                  F            G
As the ones that bring us closer to the sky, no matter how grey

E                         F                G
And yet I fall, through these clouds, reaching, screaming

# Verse 1

Am             F         G         Am
Suffering from something we're not sure of

     F           G     Am
In a world there is no cure for

      F        G         Em       F        Am
These lives we live test negative for happiness

           F         G              Am
Flat line, no pulse, but eyes open

                 F           G          Am
Single file like soldiers on a mission

             F         G     Em
If theres no war outside our heads

           F    G
Why are we losing?

# Chorus

Am              F
I don't ask for much

The truth betold i'd settle

      Am        F              C         Em
For a life less frightening, a life less frightening

Am              F
I don't ask for much

    C                G
The truth betold i'd settle

For a life less frightening, a life less frightening

           Am
Is there a God tonight?

                       Dm
Up in the sky or is it empty just like me (Just like me)

              Am
A place where we can hide out from the night

      Dm
Where you are all I see (Where you are all I see)

          Am
So blow a kiss goodbye, close your eyes

Dm
Tell me what you see (Tell me what you see)

              Am
A life that's spent inside this dream of mine

      Dm            F
Where you are all I see

Life Less Frightening

A                  G
They turn the lights down low,
C                   F
In shadows hiding from the world,
C           A                G
Only coming out when it gets cold

A                       G
The seas part when they hit the floor,
C                       F
The voices carry on and out the door
C                  A                G
And everything you touch turns into gold

         C     F           G     A          G         F     
Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my 
G    A  
chest,
               C         F
Your eyes they penetrate me,
              G         A
(your answers always maybe)
           G     F      G   
Thats when I got up and left

A                     G
A beating heart and a microphone,
C                     F
A ticking clock in an empty home
C                    A             G
Still tells of these times so long ago,

A                   G
And even though Ive come so far, 
C                 F
I know Ive got so far to go and I 
C   A           G
any day now Ill explode

         C     F           G     A          G         F     
Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my
G    A
chest,
               C         F
Your eyes they penetrate me,
              G         A
(your answers always maybe)
           G     F      G   
Thats when I got up and left

A        G
Each and everyday 
C        F
it leads into tomorrow
    C                   A                G
And tomorrow brings one less day without you

A                G
But dont wait up just leave the light on
C             F
Cause all the roads that I might take
     C       A                G 
will all one day lead back to you

         C     F           G     A          G         F     
Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my  
G    A
chest,

C#m              E                   B               A

That was a conversation you took nothing from

C#m           E             B                    A  
Just put off another day of knowing where you're from

if you run

Chorus 2x

Am        F           C       C
My god is better than yours.

        Am          F            C            G          F
And the walls of my house are so thick I hear nothing at all.

  C            G          Am     F         C           G     G     F
I followed you out in the storm     but it carried you off.

      C            G          Am     F        F          G      G G G
And I burned every picture of yours,      was that not e-nough?


Am        F           C       C
My gun is bigger than yours,

   Am            F          C            G           F
So let's arm the masses and see what the bastards do then.

        C         G        Am    F            C           G       G     F
Walking tall once set us a-part,    now we're down on all fours.

       C      G           Am     F       F    G         G G G
Do you cry my name in the dark,     like I do yours?


      Dm         Dm      Am       Am   C       C            G      G
These storms are getting stronger now, trusses all bend and sway.

Dm        Dm        Am         Am         G     G G G
Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray.

       F     G     Am    Am           C     C      G       G
As the waves crash high       and the shoreline disappears,

       F   F         F   F         G                    Am F C C Am F C C
I will scream to the sky:    "Hey, people live here!"

Am            F          C       C
My dreams are not unlike yours,

     Am           F          C            G            F
They long for the safety and break like a glass chande-lier.

            C            G           Am    F             C           G       G    F
But there's laughter and oh there is love, just past the edge of our fears.

            C          G             Am              F     F       G    G G G
And there's chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music   to my ears.


Dm      Dm    Am     Am         C   C               G      G
May you be in heaven before the de-vil knows you're dead.

Dm        Dm       Am    Am         G     G G G
May these winds be always   at your back.

                  F   G    Am   Am         C    C      G         G
'Cause when we're all just ghosts  and the madness overtakes us,

        F   F       F   F           G-             G       Am C F F Am C F F
We will look at the ashes and say: "People lived here."

         Am   C           F    F
From the penthouse to the holy martyr,

Am     C         F     F
Sea to   shining sea,

         Am   C          F     F
From the coffins full of kindergarteners,

   Am        C        F      F
Is this what you call free?

         Am        C          F        F
From the hate that drips from all your crosses,

Am       C        F        F
Are your hands so clean?

          Am       C          F         F
There's a wildfire   and it's spreading far,

     Am     C         F    F G G G G
From sea to   shining sea.

           F   G    Am   Am         C    C      G         G
When we're all just ghosts  and the madness overtakes us,

       F   F         F   F            G   G         G   G
I will scream to the sky,   yeah I'll scream to the sky,

          F   F         F   F        G-              Am
Yeah I'll scream to the sky:   "Hey, people live here."

Tell me what I'm supposed to do

A                   A             C#m     B
With all these left over feelings of you.

A
'Cause I don't know.


C#m             B
And tell me how I'm supposed to feel

A                   A       C#m       B
When all these nightmares become real.

A
'Cause I don't know.


A                B            C#m
And I don't think you see the places inside me that I find you.

A                B            C#m
And I don't know how we separate the lies here from the truth.

A                B            C#m
And I don't know how we woke up one day somehow thought we knew

A  B                 C#m
Exactly what we're supposed to do.


C#m       B        A      B
So leave me at the roadside

C#m       B        A      B
And hang me up and out to dry.

C#m       B        A      B
So leave me at the roadside

C#m       B        A      B
And hang me up and out to dry.

# The rest is just the same
# Enjoy :D!

[Verse 1]

Fm                 G#                        D#             A#m
You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame 
Fm                    G#            D#                 A#m
You have to cross the line just to remember where it lays 
Fm                  G#             D#              A#m
You won't know your worth now son until you take a hit 
Fm                     G#             D#               A#m
And you won't find the beat until you lose yourself in it 

[Chorus]

Fm                                     G#
That's why we won't back down we won't run and hide 
            D#                            A#m
Yeah, cause these are the things that we can't deny 
            Fm              G#
I'm passing over you like a satellite
   D#              A#m 
So catch me if I fall 

              Fm                           G#
That's why we stick to your game plans and party lives
       D#                        A#m 
But at night we're conspiring by candlelight
           Fm             G# 
We are the orphans of the american dream
   D#                  A#m
Oh shine your light on me 


[Verse 2]

You can't fill your cup, until you empty all it has 
You can't understand what lays ahead if you don't understand the past 
You'll never learn to fly now until you're standing at the cliff 
And you can't truly love until you've given up on it 

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

C#                      Fm
   She told me that she never

      G#              C# 
Could face the world again 
                  D#
So I offered up a plan: 

Fm
We'll sneak out 
G#
While they sleep
D#       A#m        Fm
And sail off in the night
           G# 
We'll come clean 
          D#
And start over 
    A#m         Fm
The rest of our lives
           G#
When we're gone 
           D#
We'll stay gone
       A#m 
Out of sight
       Fm 
Out of mind 
     G#      D#
It's not too late
            A#m         Fm 
We have the rest of our lives

[Chorus]

Verse

Dm                               Gm
In fields where nothing grew but weeds,
                       F
I found a flower at my feet,
        C           G
Bending there in my direction,
Dm                          Gm
I wrapped a hand around its stem,
                              F
I pulled until the roots gave in,
        C                   G
Finding there what I'd been missing,


Pre Chorus

A#
But I know...
     Dm           F                  Gm
So I tell myself, I tell myself it's wrong.
          Dm                 F              Gm
There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
           A#               Am7    G
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.


Chorus

               Dm  
All because of you,
                   F
I haven't slept in so long.
            C                        Gm
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
                Dm                       F
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
                 C
I'll follow your voice,
                Gm
All you have to do is shout it out.


Dm Dm   Am7  Am7


Verse

Dm                           Gm
Inside my hands these petals browned,
                        F
Dried up, fallen to the ground
       C               G
But it was already too late now.
Dm                              Gm
I pushed my fingers through the earth,
                            F
Returned this flower to the dirt,
            C              G
So it could live. I walked away now.

Pre Chorus

Gm
But I know...
Dm                F                      Gm
Not a day goes by that I don't feel this burn.
Dm                           F              Gm
There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
           Gm               Am7    G
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.




Chorus

               Dm
All because of you,
                   F
I haven't slept in so long,
            C                        Gm
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
                Dm                       F
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,

All because of you,

I haven't slept in so long.

When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,

Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
C                    Gm
Inside these arms of yours.


               Dm
All because of you,
             F
I believe in angels.
                  C
Not the kind with wings,
                      Gm
No, not the kind with halos,
                        Dm
The kind that bring you home, 
                            F
When home becomes a strange place.
                 C
I'll follow your voice,
                Gm 
All you have to do is shout it out.

Suddenly fists turn into brave ears, move as one
Em         D                  A
Funny how no one knows we came
Em                D      C
They wouldn't come anyway
Em            D              A
Should I feel grateful to play
Em            D       C
I'm living life my way

[Chorus]
Em      G    D            A

I let go of everything I had left at home

Em      G    D            A
I fell in love with my enemy
Em      G      D               A
I let go of everything I had left at home

Eyes wide with fright
Em                  G                        
A guy, a girl, in love with the whole world

It almost makes it right

I cool down
Em             D           C
Things sound good right now
          G                     A     B       C
Suddenly fists turn into brave ears, move as one
Em         D                  A
Funny how no one knows we came
Em                D      C
They wouldn't come anyway
Em            D              A
Should I feel grateful to play
Em            D       C
I'm living life my way

[Chorus]
Em      G    D            A
I fell in love with my enemy
Em      G      D               A
I let go of everything I had left at home

Em      G    D            A
I fell in love with my enemy
Em      G      D               A
I let go of everything I had left at home

Every little thing must go wrong... Em G D A...

End.

Tour Song 

The song, &quot;Hero of War&quot;, from the fifth studio album by American punk rock band Rise Against &quot;Appeal to Reason(released in North America on October 7, 2008) is about an Iraq War Veteran looking back on his war experiences. It is described by Rolling Stone as an &quot;ambivalent aggro-folk track&quot;. McIlrath said of the song, &quot;I wanted to take the perspective of 'What is the war going to be looked back on as?'&quot; He went on to say, &quot;There are not many songs...

&quot;Prayer of the Refugee&quot; is one of the most popular songs by American rock group Rise Against, released worldwide in 2006 on the band's album The Sufferer and the Witness. The song was originally titled &quot;Diaspora&quot; and early copies of The Sufferer and the Witness used that title. The song reached #7 on Billboard alternative rock chart. It was Rise Against's first single to reach the top 10 since Swing Life Away.

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Fast Car

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
