Voices calling down the hall

E
Darling can't you see

                                       G
My heart melted in the heat

The odyssey came down kinda hard on me

The here and now so suddenly

A#                           E          G
Became a different world

E                                   G
Finally I slipped out of reality

E                    A
It must all be imaginary

Two years have gone now,

But I can't relate to the never-ending games that you play.

As desire passes through,

Then you're open to the truth,
           Em
I hope you understand.

Standing Next To Me

# Intro:

Gm


Gm                      Cm                F                       Gm   
About as subtle as an earthquake I know my mistakes were made for you

Gm                         Cm                      F                    Gm
And in the back room of a bad dream she came and whisked me away, enthused

Gm                                                
And it's as solid as rock rolling down a hill 

    Cm                                F
The fact is that it probably will hit something

                      Gm
On the hazardous terrain



Gm                                                                  
And we're just following the flock, round 

                 Cm
And in between before it smashed to smithereens 

       F                                    Dm   
Like they were and we scrambled from the blame

Dm            Cm                                                        
And its the fame that put words in her mouth 

Dm
She couldn't help but spit 'em out

Cm                         Dm
Innocence and arrogance entwined...

                      Gm 
In the filthiest of minds



Gm                        Cm              F                    Gm
She was bitten on her birthday and now a face the crowd, shes not

Gm                     Cm                     F                   Dm   
And I suspect that now forever the shape she came to escape is forgot


Dm      Cm                            
And its alot to ask and not to sting

 Dm                         
Give her less than everything

  Cm                            Dm
Around your crooked conscience she will wind


# Bridge:
# Gm  Am  Dm  G  E


Am                                                      
Cause we're just following the flock, round 

                Dm
And in between before we smash to smithereens

  G                                       E
Like they were and we scramble from the grain.

E            Dm                               
And it's the fame that put words in her mouth 

     E
She couldn't help but spit 'em out

 Dm                                     E
Around your crooked conscience she will wind

          Dm                             
And it's a lot to ask and not to sting 

 E
Give her less than everything 

 Dm                         E          Am
Innocence and arrogance entwined

The time has come again

Slowly walking down the steps

If only they were seventeen

Waiting patiently

Hiding from himself

As well as everybody else

Without permission

His face became wet

He thought that he learned

How to not get upset

From folded notes in envelopes

Don't go too soon

The Time Has Come Again

Bm            F#m              Bm            F#m 
I can still remember when your city smelt exciting.
Bm            A              C#7
I still get a whiff of that aroma now and then.
Bm            F#m            Bm             F#m 
Burglary and fireworks, the skies they were alighting.
Bm            A                C#7
Accidents and toffee drops and thinking on the train.

            Bm          F#m               
Oh he was young in the frost,
C#m                F#m                Bm
No regard for the cost of saying his feelings 
        F#m              C#m    F#m
in the moments they were felt.
              Bm        F#m               
And if he was calm like you, 
C#m                      F#m                
locked up inside of your loops them hed know 
        Dm
full well that all he had to say was, 
                         F#m
all he had to say was goodbye.


Bm              F#m          Bm              F#m 
Summertime made promises it knew it couldnt keep.
    Bm             A            C#7
The fairytale was climbing up a mountain far too steep.
Bm           F#m      Bm              F#m 
Color in the pictures with your royal hands. 
    Bm            A                      C#7
Now I am craving heartbreak while youre making your demands.


            Bm          F#m               
Oh he was young in the frost,
C#m                F#m                Bm
No regard for the cost of saying his feelings 
        F#m              C#m    F#m
in the moments they were felt.
              Bm        F#m               
And if he was calm like you,

All of our exchanges are by candle light, I just realised

Whenever I'm on to something good you see
C                       Bb
He always waltzes in to spoil it for me

And I can see him starting, want to break my heart then that's the way to do it

When you're haunted by the sweet smell of self-esteem

Well we were kissing
 
It was secret
           A                    B
We’d had to sneak beyond the kitchen
            E               
Both well aware that there’d be trouble

I get a feeling, I start running

Don’t really know why I am running

Isn't it torture when I talk about my dreams

The Dream Synopsis

[Intro] 

Dm  F  Gm  A#m


[Verse 1]

                 Dm               
There’s a set of rickety stairs
                           F
In between my heart and my head
                                       Gm             
And there ain’t much that ever bothers going up them
                   A#m
Here we go, i'm at it again
Dm                                      F
And once it’s started it’s so tricky to stop
                                          Gm
Suddenly reminded of things I thought I’d forgot
                              A#m
You’ve got me loosening up my grip on the plot


[Chorus]

A#

             Gm
And It feels like
     C#                       F
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
            Gm
You’d got a look in your eyes
C#
As you snuck in the side


[Verse 2]

Dm F Gm A#m

                Dm
And the place I thought I was at
                      F
Hasn’t yet invited me back
                                      Gm
The trouble with the chase is it’s so easy
To crash
                                       A#m
Why colour in the lines if you’re just painting
It black?


[Verse 3]

Dm                                        F
I thought they were kisses but apparently not
                                              Gm
Do you end all your messages with an ‘X marks the spot’?
                                    A#m
Just let me know when you want your socks
Knocking off


[Chorus]

A#

             Gm
And It feels like
     C#                       F
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
            Gm
You’d got a look in your eyes
C#
As you snuck in the side
F
Guess there’s nothing like the element
   Gm       A#m Dm
Of surprise


[Outro]

C#             F
The element of surprise
C#             F
The element of surprise
C#             F
The element of surprise
C#                      F
The element of surprise

The Element Of Surprise

Intro : Em  Am  F  G  C  Em  Am  D  G

C               Am
The colder the night gets
Dm                G
The further she strays
C                A
And he doesn't like it
Dm          G
Being this way
C                 Am
And she tried so hard

To steer away
                G
From the meeting place
C         Em       Am      D     G
But her heart had led her there

C  Em  Am  Dm  G  C  Am  D  G

C     Em       A
She clings to his consciousness
D            G
Wherever he lays
C                Am 
He struggles to sleep at night
D               G  
And during the day
                     C  Em      Am
He's worried she's waiting in his dreams
D            Em           G
To drag him back to the meeting place
    C   Em    Am   D    Em
His love had left him there
            G
Where the voices still echoes

Dm                G
"I'm sorry I met you, darling.
Dm                G
I'm sorry I met you."
        Em 
As she turned into the night
All he had was the words
Dm                G
"I'm sorry I met you, darling.
Dm                   G
I'm sorry I've left you."

Em  Am  Dm  G  C  Am  D  E

C                          Am 
For weeks they had strolled around
D            G     Em 
Playing the fools
F          Am            Dm 
They knew the time would come
     D              G
And time would be cruel
                E       Em  Am 
Because it is cruel to everyone
       E          Em        G
He's crying out from the meeting place
      Em        A     Em   Dm
He stranded himself there
 G
Where the voice still echoes

Dm                G
"I'm sorry I met you, darling.
Dm               G 
I'm sorry I met you."
         Em 
As she turned into the night
All he had was the words
Dm                G
"I'm sorry I met you, darling.
Dm                    G
I'm sorry I've left you."

Em  E  Em  D  G  Dm  G Em 

D                 Gm
"I'm sorry I met you, darling.
D                    G
I'm sorry I've left you."

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

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

Overreacting

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.

Em

        D
And...  arm...
    
    C  Em        D
And I      had a feeling...

Suggestion: during the verses, it can sound pretty cool if you
get a friend to strum the chords: C, G, Em, D in the background
