Wincing The Night Away

Oh, Inverted World

Chutes Too Narrow

Such Great Heights

Kissing The Lipless

Em      D       A       x4

Em           D     A      Em                  D     A
I was just bony hands as cold as a winter pole
Em          D          A       Em                 D      A
you held a warm stone out new flowing blood to hold
Em        D       A     Em                           D      A
oh what a contrast you were to the brutes in the halls
Em              D       A      Em           D    A
my timid young fingers held a decent animal

G          D
Over the ramparts you tossed
G                 D
the scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
G          D                F
tied to a brick sweet as a song
                     C                         D
the years have been short but the days were long

Em         D          A          Em                 D     A
Cool of a temperate breeze from dark skies to wet grass
Em            D         A           Em                  D     A
we fell in a field it seems now a thousand summers passed
Em                      D     A    Em                  D     A
when our kite lines first crossed we tied them into knots
Em              D   A        Em                D    A
and to finally fly apart we had to cut them off

G                       D
Since then it's been a book
               G
you read in reverse
                   D
so you understand less as the pages turn
G               D                 F
or a movie so crass and awkwardly cast
          C                 D
that even I could be the star

C     D           F         G
I dont look back much as a rule
C       D               F         G
and all this way before murder is cool
C        D                      G           C
but your memory is here and i'd like you to stay
           D
a warm light on a winter's day

Em       D     A      x6

G          D
Over the ramparts you tossed
G                   D
the scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
G         D               F
tied to brick sweet as a song
                      C                           F
the years have been short but the days go slowly by 
          C
to loose kites falling from the sky
F               C                    D
drawn to the ground and an end to flight


Pink Bullets

D  Bb  G
A cold and wet November dawn 
D  Bb  C
and there are no barking sparrows 
D  F    A
just emptiness to dwell upon. 

D  Bb  G
I fell into a winter slide 
D  Bb  C
and ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow 
D  F    A
just eking out my measly pies. 

Chorus:
G  D  A  D
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I 
G  D  F  A
know there is this side of me that 
G  D  A  D
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G  D  F  A
fly the whole mess into the sea. 

D  Bb  G
Another slow train to the coast 
D  Bb  C
some brand new gory art from way on high 
D  F    A
I sink and then I swim all night. 

D  Bb  G
I watch the ice melt on the glass 
D  Bb  C
while the eloquent young pilgrims pass 
D  F  
and leave behind their trail 
C  A
imploring us not to fail.

G  D  A  D
Of course I raised to gather courage from those 
G  D  F  A
lofty tales so tried and true and 
G  D  A  D
if you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this 
G  D  F  A
modern thought can get the best of you.

Bm  D
This rather simple epitaph 
G  A  G  Asus4
can save your hide your falling mind 
Bm  D
fate isn't what we're up against 
G  A  G  Asus4
there's no design no flaws to find
G  A  G  Asus4
there's no design no flaws to find.

G  D  A  D
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I 
G  D  F  A
know I got this side of me that 
G  D  A  D
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G  D  F  A
fly the whole mess into the sea.

Young Pilgrims

C               G        C         G
Well this is just a simple song
C               G        C         G
To say what you've done
C               G        C         G
I told you about all those fears
C               G        C         
And the way they did run
                  G            F
Your show must be strong
F
And you feel like an ocean
                          C     GC   GC
They'd want by the sun


C               G        C         G
When I was just 9 years old
C               G        C         G
I swear that I dreamt
C               G        C         G
Your face on a football field   
C               G        C         
And a kiss that I kept
            G         F
Under my vest
                                               C         G         C
Apart from everything but the heart in my chest


Am                C                       F
I know that things can really get rough
F
When you go it alone
Am              C                         F
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough
F
To play like a stone
Am                        C                    F
Could be there's nothing else in our lives
F
So critical
F
As this little hole


C               G        C         G
My life in an upturned boat
C               G        C         G
Marooned on a cliff
C               G        C         G
You brought me a great big flood    
C               G        C          
And you gave me a lift
             G  F
To care, what a gift
F
And you tell me with your tongue
F
And you're breath was in my lungs
                              Am
And you float over the rift


                  C                        F
I know that things can really get rough
 F
When you go it alone
Am             C                         F
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough
 F
To play like a stone
Am             C                             F
Could be there's nothing else in our lives
F
So critical
F

I made a fumbly play for your heart

And the extra, a spark

You're are a trauma, a chain that I stole

Especial for you
Am                   C                       F
Love's just a delicate thing that we'd do

We've nothing to prove

Which I never knew

A                   C#m
Is it all so very simple
     D           E
And horribly complex?
 Bm                 E
You suffer in a thimble
              A             D
And there's nothing coming next

      A                  C#m
Your mom smokes in the kitchen
      D               A
Her voice a cutting drone
Bm                    E
So creeping out, you pass the bar
        A              D
Your father's second home
             A       D - E
That leaves you on your own

A                  C#m
Nights I'd often watch you
D                  E
Float across the grounds
Bm           E
Out the gate to the motorway
      A                D
What secrets have you found?

A               C#m
You had to know I wanted
D                   A
Something from you then
Bm                  E
Too young to know just what it was
           A            D
Something more than a friend
         A      D - E
Is that you at the end


           F#m - E          Bm           D   (D - E)
Where you play     in the street at night
F#m - E          Bm     D  (D - E)
Blown like a broken kite
F#m - E                Bm          D (D - E)
My girl, you're giving up the fight
     A           C#m        G
Are you gonna let these Americans
             E
Put another dent in your life?

     A             C#m
My mother says your dirty
         D              E
They're gonna find you dead
Bm              E
But have you got that final chapter
A                D
Written in your head?

       A            C#m
Cause every single story
      D           A
Is a story about love
Bm             E
Both the over flowing cup
           A            D
And the painful lack thereof
              A      D - E
You got the heart of a dove


           F#m - E          Bm            D  (D - E)
But,  you play     in the street at night
F#m - E        Bm       D    (D - E)
Blown like a broken kite
F#m - E                Bm          D  (D - E)
My girl, you're giving up the fight
F#m         E                Bm        D     (D - E)
You'll have to lose all them childish notions
     A           C#m        G
If you're gonna let these American boys
             E
Put another dent in your life

F#m - E             Bm           D  (D - E)
You play     in the street at night
F#m - E        Bm       D  (D - E)
Blown like a broken kite
F#m - E                Bm          D  (D - E)
My girl, you're giving up the fight
F#m              E            Bm       D       (D - E)
You'll have to lose all them childish notions
     A           C#m        G
Or you're gonna let these Americans

Put another dent in your life

Bm         A      G        D

    Fetch us a knife,

    But the lonely are such delicate things,
Bm      A            G    D
    The wind from a wasp could blow them,

    Into the sea,

    With stones on their feet,

    Lost to the light and the loving we need,

Chorus:

    Still to come,
G             D            A
    The worst part and you know it,

Verse II:

    With burnt sage and a forest of bygones,
Bm             A             D
   I click my heels, get the devils in line,
Bm          A          G       D
    A list of things I could lay the blame on,
  G                   A
    Might give me a way out,

Bm                A             G          D
    But with each turn it stays front and center,

    Every post you can hitch your faith on,
   A             D
    Is a pie in the sky,
   A             D
    Chock full of lies,
   A             D
   A tool we devise,

   To make sinking stones fly,

Chorus:

Intro: E



E           C#m                     F#m   
Born to multiply, born to gaze into night skies,
         A             F#m      E
All you want's one more Saturday.
                      C#m
But look here, until then
                       F#m
They're gonna buy your nice time
             A                        F#m 
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
B
To the day.
                  E
You come in doing cartwheels
            B
We all go out by ourselves
                      E
And your shape on the dance floor
                           B
Will have me thinking such filth and gauge my eyes.
           C#m         A
You'd be damned to be one of us girl
          C#m         A
Faced with a dodo's conundrum
E     F#m                  A
Ah, I felt like I could just fly
     G#m                          B
But nothing'll happen every time I try.

I think i'll go home and mull this over

before i cram it down my throat
        Bm        A             G       Em
at long last it's crashed, the colossal mass
           D       A          G
has broken up into bits in my moat.

Em       D        Em      D
lift the mattress off the floor
Em       D
walk the cramps off
   A              G
go meander in the cold
Em           D
hail to your dark skin
Em         D
hiding the fact you're dead again
Em   D                A            G          
underneath the powerliness seeking shade
G 
far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason

       Bm        A      G         Em
it's a luscious mix of words and tricks
            D            A              G
that let us bet when you know we should fold
   Bm      A         G          Em
on rocks i dreamt of where we'd stepped
           D             A               G
and of the whole mess of roads we're now on.

Em        D         Em      D 
hold your glass up, hold it in
Em      D                   A               G
never betray the way you've always known it is.
Em      D                 Em
one day i'll be wondering how
         D                  Em
I got so old just wondering how
        D                A              G
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow.

G
this is way beyond my remote concern 
of being condescending

Bm  A     G    F#m    Em   F#m   G
all these squawking birds won't quit.
Bm  A    G  F#m      Em  F#m   G
building no-thing, lay-ing bricks.

Caring Is Creepy

Verse 1

Bm                              D             E 
One wound-up punch of intuition, lays flat my whole take on us.
Bm                                            D                    E 
You're the girl on the wing of a barnstormer, the tital rabbit who came of
                Bm
age before her time.

Bridge

Bm                 G               D                     A
We could have been so good-natured if i'd relented when you insisted,
Bm                 G                        D                A  
but we've been backed against all nature's walls far too long.

Bm                G          D                     A
You felt abandoned by me, I recall the sunshine as you were melting
Bm                G                   D                   A
and through the comedy softens the fall, they still hear us with their
G
ears to the wall.

Verse 2

Bm                          D           E
I sold all my evil motives, no icicles stuck in my hide.
Bm                                      D                        E
I'm through with riddles, i know we're little just help me feel warm inside.

Chorus
                    G                                             D
Before we take this ride and let it slide, into the cracks where fall and
                    G                                         D
winter collide. I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love.
G                                     D                            A
Rembember you're the one who summoned me above any other kind.

G

Bridge 2
Bm                 G                      D                  A            Bm
We could have been so good-natured if you'd relented when i'd insisted,
         G                           D        A              Bm
we take a week off, let the garden grow by itself, 
               G                         D                      A
and let the gluttons fill themselves with all the worst of the gory 
                              Bm
nineties.
                G                 D                 A
And through the comedy softens the fall, we still fall short. 

Chorus
                     G                                            D
Before we take this ride and let it slide into the cracks where fall

and winter colide.
      G                                       D
I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love.
G                                     D                        A
Remember you're the one who summoned me above any other kind.

Verse 1:
Am               C              F
Gold teeth and a curse for this town 
C              G              
Were all in my mouth
     C            F            Am   G
Only I don't know how they got out, dear
Am             C      F
Turn me back into the pet 
C             G
I was when we met
C             F            Am   G
I was happier then with no mind set

Chorus:
G                      C
And if you'd a took to me like
  F    C            G
A gull takes to the wind
            G           C
Well, I'd a jumped from my tree
    F     C               F           C
And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
F                   C             G
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well

Verse 2:
Am                 C          F
New slang when you notice the stripes
C                G
The dirt in your fries
     C                   F
Hope it's right when you die
        Am  G
Old and bo..ny
Am                 C                F
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall
C              G
Never should'a called
    C               F
But my heads to the wall
        Am  G
And I'm lonely

Chorus

Verse 3:
Am                C          F
God speed all the baker's at dawn
             C         G
May they all cut their thumbs
    C                F
And bleed into their buns 
           Am   G
'Till they melt away

Chorus 2:
G                     C    
I'm looking in on the good life
           F               G
I might be doomed never to find
                           C
Without a trust or flaming fields 
         F       G
Am I too dumb to refine?
                       C
And if you'd a took to me like 
     F     C               F            C
Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores 
F                   C             G
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well

No Way Down intro

Verse 1:
 E      B        E       A 
"howdy, lem," my grandpa said with his eyes closed 
E          B                       E         A
wiping the eastbound dust from his sunburned brow
A
a life before doubt. 

Chorus:
G           A                 G                A
i smell the engine grease and mint the wind is blending 
G         A               D          F#   G            A
under the moan of rotting elm in the silo floor

Verse 2:
E      B       E         A      
down a hill of pine tree quills we made our way 
E      B                          E          A         
to the bottom and the ferns where thick moss grows 
A
beside a stream. 

Chorus:
G         A                    G               A 
under the rocks are snails and we can fill our pockets 
G               A              D        F#        G           A
and let them go one by one all day in a brand new place  

Interlude
E B E A X8 (same pattern as vese just it is played 8 times, not four)

Chorus:
G           A        G            A
You were no ordinary drain on her defenses 
G              A        D        F#       G
and she was no ordinary girl Oh, Inverted World 


One By One All Day

A                D
Frozen into coats,
                      Bm
White girls of the North,
G              D
Fire past one, fire the one,
D
They are the fabled lambs,
E
A Sunday ham,
Bm
The ancient snow.             
            A                        D
And they can float above the grass,
               A
In circles if they tried,
 G                    D
A latent power I know they hide,
D
To keep some hope alive,
E                   Bm
That a girl like I could ever try,
           A
Could ever try.



F#m           D                E
So we just skirt the hallway signs,
                F#m
A phantom and a fly,
F#               D              E           
Follow the lines and wonder why

There's no connection.



A                         D
And weakened falling eyes,
                         Bm
In cheap shots from the tribe,
G                               D
And we're often in Marcus porch again,
D                                E
Another afternoon with the gold head tunes,
      Bm
And pilfered booze.
             A                   D
We wandered through your mama's house,
                         A
And the milk from the window lights,
           G                     D
Family portrait circa ninety-five,
              D
This is that foreign land,
              E
With the sprayed on tans,
             Bm
And it all feels fine,
               A
Beats circus slime,


F#m            D              E
So, when they tap our mundane heads,
                        F#m
To zombie-walk in our stead,
F#                   D                E
This town seems hardly worth our time,
F#m                D                E
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
                  F#m
To fall along in our crime,
F#                     D                 E
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,

With no connection.

A        D        E  
Ooooh-uh Ooooh-uh Ooooh
A        D        E  
Ooooh-uh Ooooh-uh Ooooh
A        D        E  
Ooooh-uh Ooooh-uh Ooooh

Dm              A
Through the rain and all the clatter
F           C        G
Under the Fremont bridge I saw a pigeon fly
Dm            F              C                 A
Fly in fear from the raptor come to take its life

Dm               A
And as it closed in for the capture
F     C          G
I funnelled the fear through my ancient eyes

Dm              F
To see in flight, what I know are
     C                    A
The bitter mechanics of life


F         G                    E             F
Under my hat it reads "the lines are all imagined" 
F           G             E                   Am
A fact of life I know to hide from my little girls
F           G                E                 F
I know my place amongst the bugs and all the animals
F                      E
And it's from these ordinary people
            F            G
You are longing to be free

Dm         A
My hotel and on the TV
F    C           G
A preacher on the stage like a buzzard cries
Dm             F                      C               A
Our a warning of phony sorrow. He's trying to get a rise.

Dm          A
The cyanide of an almond
F        C             G
Let him look at your hands, get the angles right
Dm               F              C                  A
Ace of spades, Port of Morrow, life is death is life.


F           G          E          F
I saw a photograph; Cologne in ?27
F           G                E        Am
And then a postcard after the bombs in ?45
F                 G             E                   F
Must have been a world of evil clowns that let it happen
F            E           
But now I recognise, dear listeners,
               F               G
That you were there and so was I

D			D
Eyeless in the morning sun you were
   D		   D
Pale and mild, a modern girl
   D			    D
Taken with thought, still prone to care
   D                D
Making tea in your underwear
          A
You went out in the yard to find


   A		       A
Something to eat and clear your mind
   A		     A	      D
Something bad inside me went away

Quaking leaves and broken light

Shifting skin the coming night
   D			  D
The bearers of all good things arrive
   D		   D
Climb inside us, twist and cry
   A
A kiss on your molten eyes


   A	            A
Myriad lives like blades of grass
   A		    A		 D
Yet to be realized, bow as they pass


   D
They are cold,
   D
Still,
   D
Waiting in the ether,
   Em
To form,
 Em
Feel,

Kill,

Propagate,

Only to die

Those To Come

C 
You can fake it for a while,

Bite your tongue and smile,
				G
Like every mother does an ugly child.
			C
But the stars are leaking out,

Like spittle from a cloud,
				G
Amassed resentment counting ounce and pound.

			F
You're entertaining any doubt,
			C		G
Because you had to know that I was fond of you,
C		F
Fond of Y-O-U,
			C		G
Though I knew you masked your disdain.
F		C			G
I can see that change was just too hard for us,
C		F
Hard for us.

You always had to hold the reigns,
			FFFFFFFF		G
But where I'm headed, you just don't know the way.

C
So affections fade away,

And do adults just learn to play
				G
The most ridiculous, repulsive games?
			C
On the faith of ruddy sons,

And the double-barreled guns,

You better hurry,
	G
Rabbit, run, run, run.
			C
'Cause meeting you was fun,
						G
And there's a lot of hungry howlers in this one cell.

We're taking it over,
			C
Their brittle, thorny stems,

They break before they bend,
				G
And neither one of us is one of them.

			F
And the tails will never mend,
		C		G
'Cause you had it in for me so long ago.
C		F
Boy, I still don't know,
		C		G
I don't know why and I don't care,
		C		F
You don't hide me anymore,
		C		G
If you'd only seen yourself hating me.
C		F
Hating me,
		C		G
When I've been so much more than fair.
			FFFFFFFF	G
But then you had to lay those feelings bare,
			FFFFFFFF	G	
One thing I know still got you scared,
	F		G
You're all that cold iron,
	F	C		G
And never once aired of our dead.

INSTRUMENTAL (C-G-C-G
F			C		G
You had to know that I was fond of you,
C		F
Fond of Y-O-U.
		C		G
So I took your lips at the time,
C		F
AHHHHHHHHHH
			C		G
And to change like that is just so hard to do,
C		F
Hard to do.
		C		G
Don't let it whip-crack your life,
		FFFFFFFF	G
And bow out from the fight,
		FFFFFF	G
'Cause oh, how your sisters will write.
		FFFFF
The worst part is over,
	CCC	FFF		G
Now, get back on that horse and ride.

Verse 1:                                                       

A  D (5x)

A
              A                    D
I've got a cupboard with cans of food, 
           A                     D
filtered water, And pictures of you 
         A                    D
and i'm not coming out until this is all over

A  D

         A                    D                       
And i'm looking through the glass 
           A                   D
where the light bends at the cracks
             A                       D                  
And i'm screaming at the top of my lungs pretending
      A                D                                       
The echoes belong 


Pre Chorus:
        Bm       D
to someone 
                                                   
Someone i used to know

A  D


Chorus:
         Bm       E
And we become 

silhouettes when our bodies finally go

A  D  (5x)

Verse 2:
             A                      D
I wanted to walk through the empty streets
                     A                D
And feel something constant under my feet,
            A                      D                A     D
But all the news reports recommended that I stay indoors
            A                 D
Because the air outside will make 
            A                    D
our cells divide at an alarming rate 
            A                         D
until our shells simply cannot hold all our insides in,
            A                   D
And that's when, (that's when), that's when


Pre Chorus:
           Bm        D
we'll explode

and it won't be a pretty sight

A  D  


Chrorus:
           Bm        E
And we'll become 

silhouettes when our bodies finally go

We Will Become Silhouettes

B	         D     
Several days a month you made
    A
The mile to my house,
    G   F  E    
And had me do 
D     C       B 		 B A 
A stroll    with you.


B	         D     
Far below a furry moon
    A 
Our purposes crossed
     G   F  E    
The weird divide
D     C       B 
Be-Tween   our kinds



B A B     B A B    B A G#m   D C# 
Interlude Ah...



     B	         D     
The silver leaves of ailing trees
    A 
Took flights as we passed 
     G   F  E    
so long   Ago
D     C       B 			B A
But a short time I know.


    B	              D     
It pleases me this memory
    A 
Has swollen up with age.
     G   F  E    
Even time can do
D     C       B 
Good things to you.


B A B     B A B    B A G#m   D C#   B    
Interlude Ooo..  then Ahhh.. 


Weird Divide

A  		       C#m  	       G#  	 A
When you're riding the rails with those wide-open eyes,

	     E	     B		       A
Well there's one old southpaw you will always fight.

A		C#m  		       G#  		     A
And alone, on a worn out throne is the reigning Queen of the Questions.

       E	    B  		  A
Why we blind footed toddlers ever started out.


		  E Emaj7 	 B
So don't get into me      when I goose step

A							  C#m			 B
Across the kitchen floor, you know I still adore all your mother's old-fashioned ways.

		  E  	  Emaj7    B
So impressed that you hear	my inventions.

A						     G		A
And that it matters more than what you saw with your eyes.


A		  C#m		     G#				 A
Go along with the plan, your head is still right there where you put it--

	  E		B		    A
Under the bed, with the ice cream you could never find.

A		       C#m		    G#			 A
And at night you go to bed and dream of the world to be what you wanted--

		G#		A
You've got that girly draw, now flaunt it,

	      E			 B			 A
And keep them all checking their watches when you're out tonight.


		  E Emaj7 	 B
So don't get into me      when I goose step

A							   C#m		 B
Across the kitchen floor, you know I still adore, are your eyes changing heads?

		  E  	  Emaj7    B
So impressed that you hear	my inventions.

A						     G		A	E
And that it matters more than what you saw with your eyes.

When I Goose Step

D  Bm  G
A cold and wet November dawn 
D  Bm  C
and there are no barking sparrows 
D  F    A
just emptiness to dwell upon. 

D  Bm  G
I fell into a winter slide 
D  Bm  C
and ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow 
D  F    A
just eking out my measly pies. 

Chorus:
G  D  A  D
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I 
G  D  F  A
know there is this side of me that 
G  D  A  D
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G  D  F  A
fly the whole mess into the sea. 

D  Bm  G
Another slow train to the coast 
D  Bm  C
some brand new gory art from way on high 
D  F    A
I sink and then I swim all night. 

D  Bm  G
I watch the ice melt on the glass 
D  Bm  C
while the eloquent young pilgrims pass 
D  F  
and leave behind their trail 
C  A
imploring us not to fail.

G  D  A  D
Of course I raised to gather courage from those 
G  D  F  A
lofty tales so tried and true and 
G  D  A  D
if you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this 
G  D  F  A
modern thought can get the best of you.

Bm  D
This rather simple epitaph 
G  A  G  A
can save your hide your falling mind 
Bm  D
fate isn't what we're up against 
G  A  G  A
there's no design no flaws to find
G  A  G  A
there's no design no flaws to find.
------------------------------------
# sorry i couldn't figure out the solo

G  D  A  D
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I 
G  D  F  A
know I got this side of me that 
G  D  A  D
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
G  D  F  A
fly the whole mess into the sea.

Verse 3:
                 C	             Am		
I guess there's so much more I have to learn
               F	 	                       G		
But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn
        Am         F		                   C
You always give me somewhere, somewhere I can run
Am	            G	       F   C
   You make it real for me 

Chorus:

You Make It Real

G         Em		  
1) Almost heaven,   West Virginia,
2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.
	      G               D              C            G
     West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads


           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling 
 	       G                     D          D7    G
        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

School Friends

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us
