They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants (TMBG) are an American alternative rock band formed in 1982 in Brooklyn, New York, United States by John Flansburgh (vocals, guitar) and John Linnell (vocals, keyboards, accordion). During TMBG's early years Flansburgh and Linnell were frequently accompanied by a drum machine. In the early nineties, TMBG became a full band. Currently, the members of TMBG are Flansburgh, Linnell, Marty Beller, Dan Miller, and Danny Weinkauf.

A            A+           Bm          
I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
             A              D               E    F#m
called the blood of the exploited working class

        A      F#m      D       E      A   E ( F#7 every other time )
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God

Verse : ( Same as Chorus )
I destroyed the bond of friendship and respect
between the only people left who'd even look me in the eye
now I laugh and make a fortune off the same ones that I tortured
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God

Bridge:
            Bm   E(+m9)     A    
I look like Jesus, so they say
       Bm      E(+m9)      A

now you're the only one here who can tell me if it's true
      D                     E

Chorus:
I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage

yes the world screams: Kiss me, Son of God

Kiss Me Son Of God

Verse 1:
   G            Em      
I lost my lucky ball & chain
     C                   D      
And now she's four years gone
      G                 Em      
Just five feet tall and sick of me
     C              G      
And all my rattling on
      G            Em      
She threw away her baby-doll
    C           D       
I held on to my pride
    G               Em     
But I was young and foolish then
        C              G       
I feel old and foolish now.


D6
Chorus:
     C                              G       
Confidentially, she never called me baby-doll
     C                           G       
Confidentially, I never had much pride
    C                            G       
But now I rock a bar stool and I drink for two
     D              C               D     
Just pondering this time bomb in my mind.

Verse 2:
   G            Em      
I lost my lucky ball & chain
     C                   D      
And now she's four years gone
      G                 Em      
Just five feet tall and sick of me
     C              G      
And all my rattling on                   
     G                 Em            
She walked away from a happy man.
   C               D             
I thought I was so cool.
G                   Em           
I just stood there whistling
       C                   D          G       Em        
"There goes the bride" as she walked out the door
       C                 D          G       Em    C  D        
There goes the bride as she walked out the door
    
Bridge: ( Noise )

Verse 3:
I could shake my tiny fist
And swear I wasn't wrong,
But what's the sense in arguing
When you're all alone?
Sure as you can't steer a train
You can't change your fate
When she told me off that day
I knew I'd lost my home.

D6

Chorus:
Confidentially, I never told you of her charms.
Confidentially, we never had a home,
But this railroad apartment was the perfect place
When she'd sit and hold me in her arms.

(Repeat 2nd verse)
   G            Em      
I lost my lucky ball & chain
     C                   D      
And now she's four years gone
      G                 Em      
Just five feet tall and sick of me
     C              G      
And all my rattling on                   
     G                 Em            
She walked away from a happy man.
   C               D             
I thought I was so cool.
G                   Em           
I just stood there whistling
       C                   D          G       Em        
"There goes the bride" as she walked out the door
       C                 D          G       Em            
There goes the bride as she walked out the door
       C                 D          G       Em   C  D         
There goes the bride as she walked out the door

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas,

a gigantic nuclear furnace

Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not

a place where we could live,

without the light it gives.

We need it's light,

The sun is large.


The sun is so large, a million earths could fit inside and yet, the sun's just a middle-sized star.

The sun is far away.


It's about 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small.

But even when it's out of sight

it shines bold night and day.

The sun gives light,

the sun gives heat,

the sunlight that we see.

The sunlight comes from our own sun's

atomic energy.


Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-crushing machine. The heat and light from the sun are comes by the nuclear reaction between hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and helium.

Why Does The Sun Shine?

&quot;Birdhouse in Your Soul&quot; is a song by American alternative rock band They Might Be Giants. It was released in March 1990 as a single from the album Flood. It reached #3 on the United States Modern Rock Tracks chart and #6 on the UK Singles Chart and remains their highest-charting single in both countries. The song returned to the UK Singles Chart in 2010, after its use in a television advert for Clarks Shoes, peaking at #70. The song is sung from the point of view of a nightlight.

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

             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

King Creole

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
