 Em - C - Em - C

[Verse 1]
C              Em
Here we stand
                           Am
Somewhere in between this moment and the end
C              Em
Will we bend?
                          Am
Or will we open up and take this whole thing in? 
C                                   Em
Everybody else is smiling and their smiles don?t fade 
C                                           Em
And you don?t even wonder why you just don?t think that way 

[Chorus]
C                                       G
Maybe you and me got lost somewhere, we can't move on we can't stay here 
Am                                      C
Well maybe we've just had enough, well maybe we ain?t meant for this love 
C                                G
You and me tried everything, but still that mocking bird wont sing
Am                                          C
Well man this life seems hard enough, well maybe we ain?t meant for this love 

[Riff 1]
 Em - C - Em - C
 Em - C - Em - C

[Verse 2]
C             Em
Take my hand 
                                Am
And I will lead you through the broken promise land 
C                    Em
Yes I can, ah yes I can 
                               Am
I can be there when you need it, I'll give it all till you can't feel it anymore 

[Bridge]
Em                                        C
I don't wanna love you now, if you'll just leave someday 
Em                                       C
I don't wanna turn around, if you'll just walk away 

[Chorus]

A                           Cm  
I just can't win for losing
                     G
And she lays back down 
G
Man there's so many times
A                           Cm
I don't know what i'm doing 
                    G
Like I don't know now 



G
By the light of the moon 
                A
She rubs her eyes 

Says it's funny how the night 
                Cm
Can make you blind 
                 G
I can just imagine
G
And i don't know what i'm supposed to do 
           A                       Cm
But if she feels bad then i do too
                G
So i let her be 


[Chorus]
             G
And she says Ooh
                    D
I can't take no more
                                    Am
Her tears like diamonds on the floor 
                              C
And her diamonds bring me down
                     G
Cuz i can't help her now
                 D
She's down in it
                                             Am
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
                              C
Hard to see them on the ground
                          G
Her diamonds falling down

A Cm G

G                  A                       Cm
She sits down and stares into the distance 
                      G
And it takes all night 
G                   A                      Cm
And i know i could break her concentration
                 G
But it don't feel right



G
By the light of the moon 
                A
She rubs her eyes 
                                   Cm
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry 
                                   G
And there's something less about her
G
And i don't know what i'm supposed to do
    A                       Cm
So i sit down and i cry too
                    G
And don't let her see


[Chorus]
G
And she says Ooh
                    D
I can't take no more
                                    Am
Her tears like diamonds on the floor 
                              C
And her diamonds bring me down
                        G
Cuz i can't help her now
                 D
She's down in it
                                             Am
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
                              C
Hard to see them on the ground
                          G
Her diamonds falling down


Cm                    G
She shuts out the night 
Cm                    G
Tries to close her eyes
                    Em
If she can find daylight 
               Am
She'll be all right
               Cm
She'll be all right
            G
Just not tonight


[Chorus]
G
And she says Ooh
                    D
I can't take no more
                                    Am
Her tears like diamonds on the floor 
                              C
And her diamonds bring me down
                        G
Cuz i can't help her now
                 D
She's down in it
                                             Am
She tried her best and now she can't win it's
                              C
Hard to see them on the ground

Her diamonds falling down

Intro: E

Verse 1:

E                         B

Another night and here we are again
        A                B

All our faults laid out ahead
E                       B

Let it out, then let it right back in
          A              B

All those voices in your head

Bridge:

       A         B               E                 A

And we both know everything, but we can't learn to leave
        B                 E

So I'll tell you what you need

Chorus:

First thing: we make you feel better
B

E                          B

Lay down all your troubles end to end
           A               B

They could reach up to the stars
E                             B

So many roads, you don't know where you've been
        A                  B

But you still know who you are

Bridge:

         A       B             E                 A

And if I seem preoccupied, I'm wondering what to do
             B          E

So here's my recipe for you

E

Dear Joan
  F/E       Dm
I wanted to say
         Dm/C            Bb
That I'm sorry for the screaming last night
        C
And the nights before

Well I've wanted more from this
     Bb                 C

Once I forget

Twice I'm a fool

Three times I wrap
   Bb     C          Dm    F  C   F
My hands around your neck
             Dm       F   C
While you're sleeping
       F       Dm        F   C
You're quietly sleeping
F            Dm        F  C
Sleeping and dreaming

     Dm   F  C
Dear Joan
      F            Dm      F  C
Don't walk out the doorway

Because if you did

I believe I could honestly kill you

Verse 1:
E                        B
We were drawn from the weeds
                   A
We were brave like soldiers
        C#m              B          E
Falling down under the pale moonlight
                    B
You were holding to me
                    A
Like a someone broken
              C#m                  B         A
And I couldn't tell you but I'm telling you now


Refrain:
             C#m                   B        A
Just let me hold you while you're falling apart
             C#m                B           E
Just let me hold you and we'll both fall down


Chorus 1:
        B
Fall on me
             C#m                  A
Tell me everything you want me to be
              E              B
Forever with you forever in me
           A
Ever the same


Verse 2:
E                       B
We would stand in the wind
                  A
We were free like water
         C#m
Flowing down
              B          E
Under the warmth of the sun
                            B
Now it's cold and we're scared
                         A
And we've both been shaken
           C#m
Hey, look at us
                   B             A
Man, this doesn't need to be the end


(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)


Chorus 2:
        B
Call on me
          C#m                                 A
I'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
              E
Forever it's you
           B
Forever in me
            A
Ever the same


Bridge:


A B
You may need me there
C#m
To carry all your weight
A B C#m
But you're no burden I assure


A B
You tide me over
G#m C#m - B - A
With a warmth I'll not forget
B E
But I can only give you love


(Repeat Chorus 1 & 2)


              E
Forever with you
           B
Forever in me
            A
Ever the same(Ever the same)

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
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days

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.

Defrost the fridge

Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread

At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there

Listen Johnny

You're like a mother

And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)
