Kept on running and running, all for what?
 G                        C         G

'Cause what I was chasing wasn't love
 G                     C         Em  D   C

It's just easy moving along with someone else
 G                      C       G

In the arms of another, far too long
 G                         C           G

My mind, it got smothered, now I'm lost
 G                                C        Em  D   C

I don't know what it's like to be made with no one there


 C                    G

Somebody teach me to fly
 Em

I'm falling
 D

I'm falling
 C                         G

Give me the wings and I'll try
    Em               D

To come back strong enough for you
 C                        G

Leave me around with the walls
 Em

I'm not scared
 D

I'm not scared
 C                              G

Not while there's something to prove
     Em                  D

I'll come back when I'm ready to


Instrumental:

Left me to stand on my own before
   G                        C           G

I stand with somebody else there by my side
G                         C      Em   D  C

I've been leaning on you for so long
 G

Put this moment on hold
    C           G

And wait for me here
  G                      C    G

I promised I won't just disappear
 G                   C       Em

Think it's time that we both stopped
 D      C    D

Holding on


 C                    G

Somebody teach me to fly
 Em

I'm falling

I'm falling

So I stand on the edge now
 Em                        C

And I wait for the wind to pull me in
G                       Am

I keep giving this love out
 Em               D

When I don't even know who I am

Teach Me To Fly

Verse]
C                          F        C
They said the time that we knew was waste
                          G            Am
Kids on the street just filled full of hate
                                        G
Cause no one could stop us from getting older
C                            F        C
And all of our days would be full of mistakes
                          G            Am
Drive down the hill never put on the brakes
                            G
Do anything to stay out longer

[Chorus]       
           F
But we are now
              C
Look where we are
              Am
A house and a car
                   G
Just how it should be
       F
We are now
            C
Haven't you seen
           G
We live up here like we're a king and a queen
           F
And you and I
            C
We're doing alright
                     Am
Cause way down the line
                G
You're still my only
       F
We are now  
                    C
And look what we've done
           G
We got so far by only having fun

[Verse]
C                          F        C
We used to scream, used to kiss and fight
                       G          Am
Always the same at the end of the night
                              G
Watch the sun rise on our way home
C                         F      C
And everyone said we were such a disgrace
                           G           Am
But it all seemed to fall right into place
                                  G
I guess it's just the way that the world goes

[Chorus]
            F
'Cus we are now
              C
Look where we are
              Am
A house and a car
             G
Just how it should be
       F
We are now
            C
Haven't you seen
           G
We live up here like we're a king and a queen
            F
And you and I
            C
We're doing alright
                     Am
Cause way down the line
                G
You're still my only
       F
We are now  
                    C
And look what we've done
           G
We got so far by only having fun

[Bridge]
Am               C
And yeh we were scared…
F       C
We were unprepared
F       C                      G
We were happy as the young and hopeless
Am        C
Trying to hide
F       C
Running far from time
F           C                     G
But it all changed before we ever noticed

[Chorus]          
       F
We are now
              C
Look where we are
              Am
A house and a car
                   G
Just how it should be
       F
We are now
            C
Haven't you seen
           G
We live up here like we're a king and a queen
           F
And you and I
            C
We're doing alright
                     Am
Cause way down the line
                G
You're still my only
       F
We are now  
                    C
And look what we've done
           G
We got so far by only having fun

 G             Am                Em
You're used to gray England Skies
        C              G
Cloudy days, colder nights
         Am               Em    C
And your heart's not right
 
 G               Am              Em

But if you sing along with me  
                               G
Do you think you could ever smile
D
Again?

 Am
If you sing this melody

I know time is never kind
G              Am          Em
You miss your warm winter boots

Everyone is going out in summer hats

    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

You were staying out all night and I had enough

       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C

It Ain't Me

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
