God that was strange to see you again,
introduced by a friend of a friend.
Smiled and said, "yes, I think we've met before."
In that instant it started to pour.

Captured a taxi despite all the rain.
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain.
And all of the time you thought I was sad,
I was trying to remember your name...

# Chord Set I:

Your scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin.
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in.
Now you're outside me, you see all the beauty.
Repent all your sin.

# Chord Set II:

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose.
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose.
I'll send you a postcard, I'll send you the news
from a house down the road, from real love.

# Chord Set I:

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave.
You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave. 
I'm not sorry I met you, I'm not sorry it's over. 
I'm not sorry, there's nothing to save.
I'm not sorry, there's

nothing to save

Your Ex-lover Is Dead

F                     Bb
   You can write my place out
                    F
   Of the life you make
                              Bb
   And all then things that mattered
                    Gm
   When you knew my face
                     C
   Cross off all the ways I failed you, 'cause I failed you
Gm                       C
   But I'm still in your blood, I'm still in your blood


F                          Bb
   The time when all our mistakes made sense, You needed it
F                        Bb                          Gm
   The time when all the lying, You sympathized with sin
                 C
   All this sabotage and blame, Well I can take it
Gm                     C
   'cause I just want you back, I just want you back


Temporary battles
Can take up half your life
How you dig your bed
Will it help you sleep at night
Forgiveness like a blanket
That you want to forget
But you still crumble at my name
You still crumble at my name

The time when all our mistakes made sense
You needed it
The time when all the lying
You sympathized with sin
All this sabotage and blame
Well I can take it
Because I want you back

Make them all disappear.

Celebration Guns

F          G           C
If I am lost for a day, try to find me
                     F          G                 C
but if I don't come back, then I won't look behind me.
               F         G               C 
All of the things that I thought were so easy,
           F         G          C 
just got harder and harder each day.

              F         G                C 
December is darkest, in June there's the light,
               F                  G         C 
but this empty bedroom won't make anything right.
                  F         G           C 
Well out on the landing a friend I forgot to send home
           F         G              C  
who waits up for me all through the night.

Chorus
 F                      G                         C  
calendar girl who's in love with the world, stay alive  (x2)
 
                F          G        C
I dreamed I was dying as I so often do,
           F            G           C
and when I awoke, I was sure it was true.
              F                G           C
I went to the window, threw my head to the sky
                        F             G            C
and said; whoever is up there, please don't let me die.
                  F          G            C
Well I can't live forever, I can't always be
                F         G            C
One day I'll be sand on a beach by the sea
               F          G         C
The pages keep turning, I mark each day with a cross
         F           G              C
And I'll laugh about all that we've lost.


 F                      G                         C  
calendar girl who's in love with the world, stay alive  (x2)


 F       G          C                        F  G  C
January, February, March, April, May,  I'm alive
 F       G          C                        F  G  C
June, July, August, September, October,  I'm alive
 F        G               C

C                                         Cmaj7  
Time can take it's toll on the best of us
G                                       C, Cmaj7
Look at you you're growing old so young
F                                         C, Cmaj7
Traffic lights blink at you in the evening
C                                      Cmaj7
Tilt your head and turn it to the sun
C                                   Cmaj7
Sometimes the T.V. is like a lover
G                                 C, Cmaj7
Singing softly as you fall asleep
F                                             C, Cmaj7
You wake up in the morning and it's still there
C                                    Cmaj7
Adding up the things you'll never be


Chorus

Alright, I can do all the things you do,

Alright, I'll make it all up for you,

Look at you you're growing old so young
F                                         C, Cmaj7
Traffic lights blink at you in the evening 
C                                         Cmaj7
You tilt your head and turn it to the sun 
C                                             Cmaj7
You disembark the latest flight from paradise 
G                                      C, Cmaj7
You almost turn your ankle on the snow
F                                    C, Cmaj7
You fall back into where you started
C
Make up words to songs you used to know 

So... 

Chorus

C                                                 Cmaj7 
The hard luck god; you never had a chance you know 
G                           C, Cmaj7
Incurable romantics never do 
F                                       C, Cmaj7
He held the flame I wasn't born to carry 
C                                          Cmaj7
I'll leave the dying young stuff up to you
C                                            Cmaj7
You get back on the latest flight to paradise 
G                                          C, Cmaj7
I found out, from a note taped to the door 
F                                             C, Cmaj7
I think I saw your airplane in the sky tonight 
C
Through my window, lying on the kitchen floor. 


C
Alright, I can say what you want me to, 
(I want more)
G
Alright, I can do all the things you do, 
(Give me more)
F
Alright, I'll make it all up for you, 

C
I'm still in love with you, 
I'm still in love with you, 
(I want more)

Why Cry

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

Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away

Son, I missed my chance

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

C#m          E       B      A                     C#m   E    B   A 
I’m going away to be alone I’m coming back with answers
C#m           E            B    A            C#m   E   B   A
Don’t try to call my telephone it’s disconnected
C#m           E          B       A               C#m   E   B   A
And I don’t know where I’m going but can you guide me
C#m              E        B        A              C#m   E   B   A
But if I find love where I’m going will it survive me


PRE-CHORUS 1:

C#m            B   A                         C#m         A   B
‘Cause in your own space you’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not affected
C#m         B   A                           C#m         A   B
And in your own time you’re still attracted but in your own life


CHORUS:

A                                 C#m            B

A                                 C#m                     B
I want some downtime so call me when you can and I’ll be fine


VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
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


{CHORUS x2}


Sometimes if we don’t go sometimes you don’t know
You don’t go I don’t go I don’t go you don’t go

C#5  B5  A5                      C#5  A5  B5
            I’ve got your back              but you don’t got mine
C#5  E5  A5                    C#5  A5  B5
            This heart attack              then I’m feeling fine


CHORUS x2

C#m          E       B    A 
I’m going away to be alone
C#m          E       B    A 
I'm going away to be alone ...............

Under your wheels, the hope of spring
  Am
Mirage of loss, a few more things
    Dm
You left your sorrow dangling
   Bb                  C
It hangs in air like a school cheer

F
Complex notes inside the chords
    Am
On every wall inflections carved
Dm
Deep as lakes and dark as stars 
  Bb                 C         
Remember we were the volunteers.

Under your wheels, your hopeless reign
Am
You fall too hard, we're up too late

We hang suspended from the heights

Until it's safer to walk here

F
Under your wheels, your chance is with

Gave me to save me from myself
C                  Dm              Bb                     
Spectacles painted with my shaking hand

C                     Dm
Fingers in paints, in paints we brought
Am                       Bb
Thinking we'd leave them when we're not
C                   Dm             Bb
Flying the flags of new empires in rags
