Hello, Good Friend.

Do You Feel

Texas native Bryce Avary, the singer/ songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist/ producer mastermind behind The Rocket Summer, has accomplished enough for someone a lot older, as he prepares to record his fifth full-length studio album. 

Bm-G-D x2

Bm              G       D
	I'm not feeling touch,
Bm      G        D
I'm not making that much,
        Bm       G
And I guess I am blessed,
    D                              E
But sometimes its just hard to see it as such.

Bm                  G                  D
	I'm stuck and alone in the traffic lines,
Bm                       G              D
	While couples in love in the H-O-V fly by,
Bm                              G
	I don't get it, I'm not asking for much,
D                           E
But everybody wants to just have something.

         F#-G             D
So I'll be picking me up, Breaking me down,
Bm               A-A
I was lost, was i found?
G              D
I want to feel everything.
        Bm                       A
When everything feels wrong with me.
G               D
Take a look, and brace myself,
Bm                      E
Everybody wants to make it count.

G  Bm  A                            G    Bm  A
Saaaaaave me, Because I can never float, sinking.
G  Bm  A                            G     Bm      A
Aaamaaaze me, And I would be there holding on for life.


              Bm              G         D
Sitting again, sitting inside this drab apartment, 
                    Bm                 G         D
The walls are blank, It's like they're talking to me.
        Bm             G
I put a picture on the wall.
         D
I took a chance, I took a fall.
              E
She took off fast and gracefully.
            E
Yes I was blind and now I see.

         F#-G            D
And I was picking me up, Breaking me down,
Bm               A-A
I was lost, was i found?
G              D
I want to feel everything.
        Bm
When everything feels wrong
A-G             D
Take a look, and brace myself,
Bm                      E
Everybody wants to make it count.

G  Bm  A                            G    Bm  A
Saaaaave me, Because I can never float, sinking.
G  Bm  A                            G     Bm      A
Aaamaaze me, And I would be there holding on for life.

    G
And I could tell
          D
From the picture I could feel,
      A
I was sinking. 
                                G
Pull me out, Bring me back to life.
                    D
The colors That my eyes had never seen,
          A	   A-B-A
Well I am seeing now.

G  Bm  A                            G    Bm  A
Saaaaave me, Because I can never float, sinking.
G  Bm  A                            G     Bm      A
Aaamaaze me, And I would be there holding on for life.

G  Bm  A                            G    Bm  A
Saaaaave me, Because I can never float, sinking.
G  Bm  A                            G     Bm      A
Aaamaaze me, And I would be there holding on for life.

   G   Bm   A  	
So Saaaaaave me.
G   Bm   A  	
Saaaaaave
G   Bm   A  	
Saaaaaave me.
G      Bm   A  	
Save me.

Break It Out

D
Dance until we just can't
             Em
Clapping our hands to the songs
        G
And get dancing around to the 
                      D
Joyful sound that the band plays
                         Em
As his smiling face just shines away 
                     G
It's movin' through town as big as a train
       D
April, May, June and July 

We'll hang outside
                             Em
August and February all the time

Talking are way through March 
G
Hanging out always till this starts
D
Over and over again 
Em
You promise that it won't end
G
So I will try to find 
             Em         G
A rhyme to thank you again
    Em          D
How I, I am not into 
     Em                D
The idea of living without you
    Em          D
And I, I am not into 
      Em               D
The idea of being without you
Em                D
And no, well this won't be a sad song
Em                D
There's gonna be claps and singing along
Em        D
Cause sad songs about now 
      Em               D
Well, that would just feel wrong

Interlude
D

D
Beautiful colors that came for you
Em
So this ones goes out to 
                          G
The reds and yellows and blues
                            Em
And of course I cant forget all 

The beautiful colors 
       G
On the day that we first met
D
So I will never know 
    Em
The right way to say thanks
              G
For all the nights and days 

You spend hanging out
Em                  G
That's what this is about
    Em           D
How I, I am not into
      Em               D
the idea of living without you
    Em           D
And I, I am not into
      Em               D
the idea of being without you
    Em       D
And no this won't be a sad song
Em               D
There's gonna be claps and singing along
Em         D
Cause you there when you talk and 
          Em                      D
You're there not to stop and you leave me
             Em
Around the clock
G
You are! You are!
             Em
Around the clock
G
Yes you are!
             Em
Around the clock

Just so y'all know 
Em               G
Everyone else is not

  Em           D
So I, I am not into 
      Em               D
The idea of living without you
    Em          D
And I, I am not into the idea...
    Em        D
And no this won't be a sad song
 Em                D                Em

I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time

plant seeds inside

to see them grow
                      F
only to leave them to die

  C
I learned my lesson

I won't be forgetting

I won't give my heart out

I've been lost and finding
F                           C
out that I've been such a fool
D           
you thought you'd stick around
F
until the day you found
    E                    F
someone to make me obsolete

  C
I learned my lesson
       E
I won't be forgetting

I won't give my heart out

with-out suspecting

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
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
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
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change



[Chorus]
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 (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
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why

(But we don't even know why)

You can call it fire and ice

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

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

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

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.
