Arms Across America

Dm    C
I saw water
F
I said, I wanted to break my friends
A#
But my dependency won't let me awake
F
I like to think that I can work it out some
           Dm             C        A#
But I just want to be put into the ground
F
Today, I needed a break, my friends
A#
Are climbing mountains and i'm drowning in lakes
F
I swallowed water in right in front of her face
        Dm                 C          A#
Just to prove that she had nothing to say

Dm     C      A#
I felt lighter
Dm  C          A#
I impressed her

Dm   C          A#
My emotions ran unopposed
Dm     C         A#
I felt just like Brian Jones
     Dm    C         A#
I've never felt that lost before
  Dm         C      A#
I just don't feel incredible

    F                         A#
But me, well of course I liked you
              F                        A#
Have time for me, I don't expect you to
      F                   A#
I see me, become a recluse
         F                  A#
It's buried, easy to seclude

Dm   C    A#
I saw water
Dm    C     A#
I felt better

       Dm      C         A#
Well I woke up feeling unbearable
     Dm        C     A#
When I drowned in my swimming pool
    Dm         C      A#
You thought it was an accident
   Dm        C     A#
I just can't get along with you

    F                         A#
But me, well of course i liked you

         Em      D            C        G
It's the shadowy whisper that brushes my leg
   D         Em          C          G
Or sends you shooting it through my brain
         Em      D        C      G
It's the way you back up into my veins

       D     Em
It's a cruel world
         C
But it's cool

         Em           D              C        G
It's the way you keep wearing me all on your clothes
   D       Em      C      G
Or pull me back on my own bed
   Em     D       C       G
Or let me see you getting changed

       D     Em
It's a cruel world
         C
But it's cool

     Em      D      C      G
Well I'm out in California now
D   Em      C       G
Ari gave me his new car
    Em      D         C      G
And all the girls are so champagne

I'm a high liver

I'm a slow...

Cool

G           F 
Lie to me like you used to
         Am           G                   Am  
Tell me everything is how it should be
        G            F
Lie to me, did you have to?
               Am            G           D7sus2
Because in the end it never matters what I think
Am                                        F
And I can barely tell the sky from the shoreline
Am                                   F                   
And I can see myself reflected in your eyes

                    C
And this was all a dream
                      C/B
And it's coming back to me
                      Am
A portrait in grey scale
               F7
A perfect betrayal
                   C                            C/B
And I can't even breathe with this weighing on my chest
                 Am
You knew me at my best

Now I can't even stand on my own

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.

          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
