        The Spill Canvas started in 2002 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota as a side project for lead singer, Nick Thomas, who at the time, was guitarist and backup vocalist for metalcore outfit Nodes Of Ranvier. As time passed, Thomas resigned from Nodes and went full-time with The Spill Canvas. While growing up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Thomas recorded his first songs at age 15, funded by his father who strongly encouraged his son's evident musical talent.

All Over You

I have only written the root chords used. The actual
song has plenty of Suspended and Extended chords added
but this should be a good start for anyone wanting to
tab a more in depth version.


Intro
E G#m C#m  A  B x2

            E                   G#m          C#m
How does it feel to know you're everything I need
    A 
The butterflies in my stomach 
           B
They could bring me to my knees 
            E                   G#m           C#m
How does it feel to know you're everything I want
           A 
I've got a hard time saying this 
        B
So I'll sing it in a song 

     C#m               E         A     
Oh I adore the way you carry yourself 
         C#m                 E          A
With the grace of a thousand angels overhead
           C#m         E            A 
I love the way the galaxy starts to melt 
     C#m       E
When we become one
     B         A   
When we become one
     C#m       E 
When we become one
     B         A      B
When we become one 
            E
How does it feel

G#m C#m   A    B
E G#m C#m A    B

            E                G#m           C#m
How does it feel when we get locked into a stare?
       A 
Please don't come looking for me 
           B
When I get lost in the mess of your hair 
           E              G#m          C#m
How do you feel when everything you've known Gets thrown aside 
      A
Never fear, my dear, 
               B
'cause we have nothing left to hide 

     C#m               E         A
Oh I adore the way you carry yourself
         C#m                 E          A 
With the grace of a thousand angels overhead
           C#m            E         A 
I love the way the galaxy starts to melt 

E          C#m
Hold on to me girl
       B 
If you feel your grip getting loose
     C#m       E         A             E
Just know that I'm right next to you 
           C#m
Hold on to me girl
       B 
If you feel your grip getting loose 
     C#m       E       A           B
Just know that I won't let you down 
 
C#m         A
Well, I'm ready
C#m         A 
Well, I'm ready
C#m    A 
I am ready
       B 
To run away with you
C#m       A 
Are you ready?
C#m       A 
Are you ready?
C#m       A 
Are you ready?
       B 
To run away with me 

A                               B
Pack your things we can leave today
A                               B 
Pack your things we can leave today
A                               B
Say our goodbyes and get on the train
A               B 
Say goodbye 
C#m                   A
Just you and I in the sweet unknown
C#m                   A         B 
We can just call each other our home
C#m          A 
If I had to choose
C#m      A                B
a way to die it'd be with you 
 
     E           C#m      B
In a goosebump infested embrace
        A                 B
With my overanxious hands cupping your face
     E           C#m      B 
In a goosebump infested embrace
        A                 B
With my overanxious hands cupping your cherub face 
            E
How does it feel?

So Much

Em                        
And there's three, count 'em 
D      C
three, children playing on the 
Em                                              
beach. They were eager to learn, 
      D              C
To be taught, and to teach 
Em
There's Veronica. She's biting her lip as she 
D                      C
watches the waves turn white at the tip. 
            Em
And there's Vada, radiating with joy, 
     D                                             C
and, luckily, she still can't stand the sight of a boy. 
                     Em
And, lastly, there's Dade. His hair dances in the wind 
         D              C
And he's wondering what love is 
    Em         D  C
And why it has to end. 



       D                  
And he can't understand 
    C
How everyone goes on 
G                        C
breathing when true love ends. 
    B                           
His mother whispers quietly, 
Em
"Heaven's not a place that you go when you die. 
          C
It's that moment in life when 
    G             C
you actually feel alive. 
   B                      
So live for the moment 
    Em                                        
And take this advice, live by every word, 
C
Love is just a hoax, so 
G                             C    
forget anything that you have heard 
    B                        
And live for the moment now." 



            Em                        
And there's three, count 'em 
D      C
three, children growing on the 
Em                                              
beach. They were eager to learn, 
      D              C
To be taught, and to teach. 
        Em
There's Veronica. She's licking her lips 
       D                         C
As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss. 
            Em
And there's Vada. She can't admit her jealousy 
       D                                             C
Of her sister, Veronica, and how she's so pretty (and how she's so pretty). 
                     Em
And, lastly, there's Dade. Still sitting on the dock,
D                        C
Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks. 
       Em         
And he wonders when his father will return, 
         D          C
But he's not coming back. 



       D                  
And he can't understand 
    C
How everyone goes on 
G                        C
breathing when true love ends. 
    B                           
His mother whispers quietly, 
Em
"Heaven's not a place that you go when you die.

It's that moment in life when 
    G             C
you actually feel alive. 
   B                      
So live for the moment

And take this advice, live by every word,

And live for the moment now." 



            Em                        
And there's three, count 'em 
D      C
three, children missing from the 
Em                                              
beach. They were eager to learn, 
      D              C
To be taught, and to teach 
        Em
But the sad thing Is that they never lived passed the 
       D              C                      
age of fifteen Due to    neglect 
           Em
from their mother  Who was bed ridden by 
       D            C                    
her ex-lover, their father 
    Em                                   
She didn't even notice, or pay much attention 
       D                                         C
As the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean 
    Em              
Now all her advice, 
   D     C
It seems   useless 



Em
No, Heaven's not a place that you go when you die. 
          C
It's that moment in life when 
    G                   C
you touch your edge and you feel alive. 
   B                      
So live for the moment 
    Em                                        
And take this advice, live by every word 
C
Love completely real, so 
G                             C    
Forget anything that you have heard 
    B                        
And live for the moment now.

Don't change your plans this won't take long

I packed it up nice into this little song

F G F C C/B

F                      G                       F
If I could have your attention, observe this fuse
                  C               C/B
It leads to these explosives that I'm about to use
F                     G
Before you freak out just let me explain
F                 C        C/B      F
This bomb is the answer to all my pain


Chorus:
Am                         F
If there's one thing I've learned
             C                                C/B
It's that we never feel the heat until we get burned
       Am                   F     
But we tried so hard not to die
              C  
Sometimes we forget to appreciate life
C/B     F
Oh no


Verse
F                       G
When the spark reaches powder

I will blow up
                C                C/B        F
I'll become the mist you breathe into your lungs
          G                        F
All of my love will then turn into yours
                  C             C/B            F
And you will feel hope bleeding out from your pores


Chorus

If there's one thing I've learned

It's that we never feel the heat until we get burned

If your ears just ache from listening,

Connect The Dots

C                G          F           F
Be kind when you rewind the story of the two of us
C                G          F           F
Sometimes you wish it was a little more mysterious
C                G          F           F
When you look at me with your cinematic eyes
C                G          F           F
I wanna play the part but I forget the lines

C    G      F       F
            I do it all the time
C    G      F       F
            I never get it right

C                G           F            F
One day when you replay the slide-show we know
C                G           F            F
Pictures won't show villains and heroes
C                G           F        
It's just me keeping time with you
C                G           F          F
Butter knife's dull but it still cuts through

We never were
F
We'll never be

C
Strangers kissing in the pouring rain
G
Chasing after your leaving train
Am          F
But we know that's not how our song goes
Ohh
C
You're a waitress in a cocktail bar
G
And I'll save you cause I'm a big rock star
Am          F
But we know that's not how our song goes
C   G    F    F
It goes like this

C                G           F          F
You didn't like my friends and your mom didn't trust me
C                G           F          F
I thought I was slick but my moves were rusty
C                G           F        F
Bought you a 12-pack promised you sushi

Sorry if I wasn't straight out of a movie

Baby really hurt me
                Am 
crying in the taxi
                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm
says you make the big mistake of dancing in my store 
Gm                  C
   Says it was poison
                 F
So I guess I go home 
          Am                     Dm
into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am
play it romance
         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Verse 2]
            F 
The truth is, I am toy
                Dm
that people enjoy
                Am               A#
till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Outro]
             Dm           F           A#
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Liability

Your asking what I found

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

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

G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A

G              D

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

G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

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

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Situations

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.
