Hurry Up And Wait

From the 'Live From Rehearsals' EP

Can't beleive nobody has tabbed the solo yet!
This is from the 'Live From Rehearsals' EP (which I personally think is a cracking version)
so is slightly different to the album recording.
Give it a listen for the rhythm and whack in a few little bits of vibrato where you can hear it.

In A Moment solo

Am               Em

F
our arms are open for the things we want
Am                 Em
but we want things we just cant have
F
what could have been but timings bad
Am           Em
dont cry cry baby now
F
your my my lady luck

(THEN I THINK THE SAME CHORDS ARE USED THROUGH THE NEXT BIT)

we follow the signs to make us meet
into the night to places no-one sees
i never learned from looking back
you pick me up from off my back
but now it seems our time has passed

Am           Em
dont cry cry baby now
F
your my my lady luck
Am               Em
you picked me up right off my back
F
i'd fallen down you brought me up
Am                   Em
we shared that night untill the morning comes
F
to take us back 
to where we chose to belong
but maybe where wrong but where gotta be strong
theres too much to lose
Am                   Am
and maybe were fools who knows
F
who knows who knows

Am                  Em
we follow the signs to make us meet
F
into the night to places no-one sees

Theres no mistake, i smell that smell, its that time of year
G            Bm        C
again, i can taste the air
G          Bm            C
Clock goes back, railway track, something blocks the line
G              Bm          C
again, and the train runs late for the first time

G, Bm, C

G       Bm      C
A pebal beach, underneath, pier just been painted

  C                               Dsus2

     and all the friends lay down the flowers
                        C

talk of the way they saw last

# The verse repeats and  then goes back into the second part of the intro.

For simplicity, I've tabbed the bend up from the 14th fret to the 15th
however in reality I think it is slightly less - so give the recording a good listen.
In the recording, they use a lot of wah.

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

The notes on the 15th fret are part of the bend so hold it until you drop back to the 12th.
When I hit the 15th I use quite fast alternate picking, and then release it gradually
towards the end.

since you took your love away
D                        A
I go out every night and sleep all day
Bm                             D  A
since you took your love away

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant-but nothing
                         F#
I said nothing can take away these blues,

'cause nothing compares

nothing compares to you

like a bird without a song
D                                         A
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Bm                                     D     A
tell me baby, oh where did I go wrong?

D                                 A
I could put my arms around every girl I see
Bm                               D     A
but they'd only remind me of you
D                                     A
So I went to the doctor guess what he told me

Rooftop

                            D#m7
A week's too long not to ring,
                                 B 
Colours her hair and waits for him,
                                    D#m7
Not cat against dog just head over heels,
                                 E 
Sex twice a day, best time in years,
               D#m7
Oh no, why hasn't he phoned?
E                    D#m7
She has to wait until he's on his own,
E                      D#m7
lying and denying til nobody knows,           
     E             D#m7            C#m7         B             F#
I'll tell her this week is what he tells her to keep her on loan,
E                  B 
He'll buy her one day.

B                                            D#m7
Sex drives, oral highs, cheating wives and spies,
                                             B 
Cream cakes, coffee dates, floral gifts, goodbye,
                                           D#m7
Passed away, for the day, had a change of kind,

Sex change, too mundane, for the average mind.
E          D#m7
Oh no, she just can't see,
E               D#m7
Where he is and where he's been,
E                             D#m7
Looks prim and straight, like she's always been,
E   D#m7 C#m7 B     F#   E            B 
All that she  saved for, went missing again.

C#m7                                     B 
She could be, she could be, she could be wrong.
C#m7                                     B 
She could be, she could be, she could be wrong.
C#m7                                     B            
She could be, she could be, she could be wrong.
C#m7                                         B 
It looks like, it looks like, the word's got around.


B                        D#m7
They found a body in the lake,
                            B 
Maybe, it wasn't really his name,
                                    D#m7
Same colour, same weight, same size feet,

It's the not knowing that kills you.
E            D#m7          
Oh no, the clocks stop slow,
E                 D#m7
Every time, you're on your own,
E                          D#m7
You hide from the spies so nobody knows,
E                   D#m7       C#m7       B          F#
Scratch through the pages of a lazy day's news for a clue.
E                 B 
Still looking for you.

# At the end he plays a B chord repeatedly under the riff then:

B    D#m7  E      B 
B    D#m7  E      Em

# Then the quiet outro which is just B again.

Same Size Feet

C
We all face the same way
Am
Still it takes all day
Fmaj7
I take a look to my left
C
Pick out the worst and the best
C
She paints her lip
Am
Greasy and thick
Fmaj7
Another mirror stare
Dsus2 C
And she's going where? 

Verse 2:
Another office affair
To kill an unborn scare
You talk dirty to a priest
It makes you human at least
But is she running away
To start a brand new day
Or she's going home
Why's she driving alone 

Chorus:
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C 
Is anyone going anywhere?
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C Am Fmaj7 C
Everyone's gotta be somewhere 

Verse 3:
She got a body in the boot
Or just bags full of food 
Those are models legs
But are they womens are they mens
She shouts down the phone 
Missed a payment on the loan
She gotta be above the rest
Keeping up with the best 

Chorus:
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C 
Is anyone going anywhere?
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C Am Fmaj7 C
Everyone's gotta be somewhere 

Verse 4:
Waits tables for a crook
Wrote a hard back book
You teach kids how to read
Or sell your body on the street
A nurse without a job
Another uptown snob
But have I got you all wrong
I blinked and you were gone 

Chorus:
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C 
Is anyone going anywhere?
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C 
Is anyone going anywhere?
Fmaj7 Dsus2 C 
Is anyone going anywhere?
Fmaj7 Dsus2(strum once)
Everyone's gotta be.....somewhere

Traffic

&quot;Maybe Tomorrow&quot; is a single from the Stereophonics 2003 album You Gotta Go There to Come Back. It is featured in the soundtrack of the academy award winner movie Crash. It has more of a jazz ambience than some of their other songs and this and the whole album were considered a departure from the classic rock sound of previous album Just Enough Education to Perform. This song is their second highest-charting, peaking at #3 on the UK Singles Chart in July 2003. Kelly Jones typically plays the song alone on stage when performing live.

And then they are bored of me

I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but

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

And you don't ask for me to change

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

N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime

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]

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

And you don't ask for me to change

Your asking what I found

think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm

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

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

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

Am                              E
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.

No Bravery
