The Kids Aren't Alright

Verse:1

lalalalalalalalalala.. :P
A               F       C          G
I wrote her off for the tenth time today
A                 F   C              G
And practiced all the things I would say
A            F    C         G
But she came over I lost my nerve
A               F   C        G 
I took her back and made her dessert
G  A  F   C              G 
Oh I know I'm being used
A               F       C              G
That's okay man cause I like the abuse
A    F           C              G
Oh I know she's playing with me
A           F              C              G
That's okay cause I've got no self esteem

Verse:2<-- the same chords has Verse:1
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
This rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so

D          Bb      F             C         D
When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me
       Bb             F              C     
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
D         Bb      F                   D
When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease
       Bb             F         C
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
D     Bb   F             C      D
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
      Bb                F          C   D
But I really think it's better this way
             Bb  
The more you suffer
C          G               F
The more it shows you really care
         G  C/G  G  C/G
Right? Yeah-eh-eh

Verse:3
Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score
Oh I know I should say no but
It's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

Refrain again:
When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care
Right? Yeah-eh-eh

Self Esteam

# This is the original key of the song.
# It's easier to play by bringing it down one step to Am-F-C-G.
# Or, capo on 1st, finger Am-F-C-G for easy play-along.

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn

Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
                                             Bbm

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
A                 F   C              G 
And practiced all the things I would say
A            F    C         G 
But she came over I lost my nerve
A               F   C        G 
I took her back and made her dessert
G  A  F   C              G 
Oh I know I'm being used
A               F       C              G 
That's okay man cause I like the abuse
A    F           C              G 
Oh I know she's playing with me
A           F              C              G 
That's okay cause I've got no self esteem

Verse:2<-- the same chords has Verse:1
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
This rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so

D          Bb      F             C         D 
When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me
       Bb             F              C      
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
D          Bb      F            C        D 
When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease
       Bb              F          C 
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
D      Bb    F              C       D 
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
      Bb                F           C    D 
But I really think it's better this way
             Bb    
The more you suffer
C           G                F 
The more it shows you really care
         G   C /G  G   C /G
Right? Yeah-eh-eh

Vers:3
Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score
Oh I know I should say no but
It's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

Refrain again:
When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care
Right? Yeah-eh-eh

And in your eyes you’re holding mine

She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home

I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds

I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime

But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

    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           Am             F                    C

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

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
