Fitzcarraldo

        The Frames (formed 1990) is a band based primarily in Dublin, Ireland. As of late 2004, the band consists of Glen Hansard (vocals, guitar), Joe Doyle (bass guitar, vocals), Colm Mac Con Iomaire (violin, keyboard and vocals), Rob Bochnik (lead guitar), and Johnny Boyle (drums). On both versions of the album &quot;Fitzcarraldo&quot; the band went by the moniker &quot;The Frames DC&quot;, to avoid being mistaken with a United States band of the same name.

Verses
C                         G           D
So what happens when the heart just stops
C       G          D
Stops caring for anyone
C                    G         D
The hollow in your chest dries up
C        G      D
And you stop believing
C                         G          D
So what happens when the heart gives up
C                 G    D
But the body goes on living
C                      G         D
The blood crawls to a slow and stops
C     G    D
And flows away


Bridge:
Em                      D
You see I'm feeling everything
Em           D
Nothing gets by
C            G            D
There is a hollow in my chest...

Verse:
C#m     E         A         F#m   
My simple slant, this broken chant
C#m     E         A         F#m 
My human fate, my revelate
C#m     E         A         F#m 
Are you so far from me this day
C#m     E         A         F#m 
That you can't say my revelate?

C#m     E         A         F#m 
My open arms, my lucky charm
C#m     E         A         F#m 
My number eight my revelate
C#m     E         A         F#m 
I fucked it up, I rest my case
C#m     E         A         F#m 
'Cause it all to grey my revelate

Chorus:
E  E  A  B    x4

Everytime

Intro: C F Am F F

C               F
I dont know you but I want you
C           F
All the more for that
C                     F
Words fall through me and always fool me
C          F
And I cant react



Am          G        F       G             Am
Games that never amount to more than their worth
    G               F 
Will play themselves out


(Chorus)

C                 G                 Am
Take this sinking boat and point it home
                F
We've still got time
C                 G                F
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
F
You've made it known



C               F 
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
C             F
And I cant go back
C                  F
Moods that take me and erase me
C            F
And i'm painted black



Am         G        F         G          Am
You have suffered enough and warred with yourself
G                  F
It's time that you won

(Chorus)


C F Am F F

1, 2, 3, 4....


C                 G                 Am
Take this sinking boat and point it home
F
We've still got time
C                  G                Am
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
F
You've made it now
C               G           Am
Falling slowly, sing your melody
F
I'll sing it loud

Falling Slowly

F#m    D Dsus2 D11 D
 

F#m                         D
Here, back, down a long and straight track
                 F#m 
I have chose the long road -
                 D
That leads me to god knows
                      F#m 
So I can't stop right now

F#m  D
         F#m                                D
Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter
                     F#m 
Lose their faith and slide
                   D
But I can't get an ocean that's deep enough 

    A   Bm 
for my  day
         C#m               D
It's the first of the ascension
       A    Bm        C#m              D
It's a sad  way we've flown before the storm
        A    Bm              C#m                D
And her last words were 'I'm always thinking of you'
      A  Hmi  #mi   D     F#m 
In my golden days I was a slave

F#m  D
              F#m 
Well now it's time for to sound your voice
    D
And capture what your after
F#m                           D
My ship was sold right up the river

But I'm not going 
A    Bm 
down here
     C#m            D
This journey isn't over
       A    Bm         C#m                D
It's a long way to the house of Fitzcarraldo
        A    Bm              C#m                D
And her last words were 'I'm always thinking of you'
      A  Bm  C#m    D     F#m 
In my golden days I was a saint

F#m  D
         A     Bm        C#m                    D
Even the good  stars can fall from grace and falter
Like lapdogs that stride that mystery
        A    Bm               C#m                  D
And her last words were 'I'll see you down in history
         A Bm C#m      D      F#m 
It's the only  way that we can go 

I shall eclipse you

F#m  D  

It's a long way to Fitzcarraldo
And I don't want to pray for you
In the name of something true

Hey, ¿qué fortachón el cielo elevó?

Cuando eras de esta altura, éste
C                  C
  Si la noche enfrió,

¿quién fue quien fuego te llevó?

De nada, para estirar tu diversión

De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime

Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

               G                    Em
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets

But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

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.

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

It Ain't Me

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
