Another constellation dies , Do what you want 'cause it's your own sky

Where it's smoldering or freezing, It's never all that easy to decide

This is the land of a thousand words

But it seems so few are worth the breath to say

Except I'll be looking after my own world
      C                G/B        Am    Am/G
And you just keep on saving the day

And that's the nature of the chase , You fall so far behind you end in first place
    Dm                                                               G
Pass the torch this time we're running to each his own regret
               C          G/B          Am    Am/G        Fmaj7
There's no harm in playing hard to get , Boundlessness deceives me

Baby you may turn the corner yet

Land Of A Thousand Words

C                                            
It's not easy having yourself a good time
Fm
Greasing up those bets and betters
Watching out they don't four-letter
C
Fuck and kiss you both at the same time
Fm
Smells-like something I've forgotten
Curled up died and now it's rotten


   Gm
I'm not a gangster tonight
  G#
Don't want to be a bad guy
    Gm
I'm just a loner baby
   G#
And now you're gotten in my way


     D#
I can't decide
             G
Whether you should live or die
              G#
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
                   F
Please don't hang your head and cry
               D#
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
   G                           G#
It's cold and hard and petrified
D#                         F  
Lock the doors and close the blinds
G#                   D#
We're going for a ride

C
It's a bitch convincing people to like you
Fm
If I stop now call me a quitter
If lies were cats you'd be a litter
C
Pleasing everyone isn't like you
Fm
Dancing jigs until I'm crippled
Slug ten drinks I won't get pickled


Gm
I've got to hand it to you
G#
You've played by all the same rules
Gm
It takes the truth to fool me
G#
And now you've made me angry


D#
I can't decide?
G
Whether you should live or die
G#
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
F
Please don't hang your head and cry
              D#
No wonder why  
My heart feels dead inside
   G                 G#
It's cold and hard and petrified

Lock the doors and close the blinds
       G#                D#
We're going for a ride


                C
Oh I could throw you in the lake
      Fm
Or feed you poisoned birthday cake
          A#                                                    D#m
I wont deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
                G
Oh I could bury you alive
                      Cm
But you might crawl out with a knife
                  G#m                
And kill me when I'm sleeping

That's why


D#
I can't decide
                              G
Whether you should live or die
               G#
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven

Please don't hang your head and cry

I Can't Decide

(Verse)
D        A
 I don't mind
                  Bm                        A
If you're running around giving someone the time
D       A 
 It's alright
                      Bm      A
Cause I know that you love me

D              A
 I'm layin' in bed 
                    Bm                      A
With a whole lot of wonder going through my head
D                  A
 This don't give a fuck
                  Bm     A
Gets a little bit lonely

(Pre-chorus)
    Bm                   C#m
But I'm too cool to lose my control
D                  C#m      
You're too cool to call
Bm                 C#m
Maybe I just don't want to know
       D                   E
You're out there having it all

(Chorus)
          F#m     Bm
Baby come home to me
          F#m     Bm
Baby come home to me
       F#m                  Bm
It's a half past quarter-to-three
          F#m     Bm
Baby come home to me
           D                A
I said I'm not that kind of guy
                 Bm              A
But you about to see a grown man cry
          F#m     Bm
Baby come home to me
          E
Baby come home

(Verse)
D               A
 Maybe one more pill
                      Bm                 A
Will help me close my eyes to the pain I feel
D        A
 I can't sleep
                     Bm        A
Unless you're laying beside me

D            A
 I've got no doubt
                   Bm                          A
That you'd be just fine if you were living without me
D                 A
 But I just can't let 
               Bm   A
You start it tonight

(Pre-chorus)
Bm                  C#m
Nine ten eleven now midnight strikes
  D                    C#m
I don't know where you been
    Bm                 C#m
But I still wanna make love tonight
     D                  E
When you come stumbling in

(Chorus)

(I'm not at all sure about the bridge. I'll work on it)

(Chorus)

A

Cities come and cities go just like the old empires 
When all you do is change your clothes and call that versatile. 
You got so many colours make a blind man so confused. 
Then why can't I keep up when you're the only thing I lose? 

So I'll just pretend that I know which way to bend 
And I'm gonna tell the whole world that you're mine. 
Just please understand, when I see you clap your hands 
If you stick around I'm sure that you'll be fine.

I Don't Feel Like Dancin'

This song was featured in &quot;Last of the Time Lords&quot;, an episode from the 2007 series of the British TV show &quot;Doctor Who&quot;. This featured The Master (a character) jokingly singing the middle-8 and chorus to The Doctor (the title character).

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.

when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else

A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song

to remind yourself that you forgot
