G               D
Making my way downtown
        A
Walking fast
A
Faces pass
              G
And I'm home bound

G               D
Staring blankly ahead
            A
Just making my way
         A
Making a way
            G  D
Through the crowd

(G,D,A)
'Cause I need you
(G,D,A)
And I miss you
(G,D,A)    G  A
And now I wonder....

  G        D
If I could fall
A        G
Into the sky
G             D
Do you think time
      A       G
Would pass me by
       A         G
'Cause you know I'd walk
  G         D
A thousand miles

If I could
G     D   A
Just see you
D
Tonight

G                      D
It's always times like these
                A
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
G        D
Think of me

G                     D
'Cause everything's so wrong
             A
And I don't belong
Living in your
          G   D
Precious memories

(G,D,A)
'Cause I need you
(G,D,A)
And I miss you
(G,D,A)    G  A
And now I wonder....

  G        D
If I could fall
A        G
Into the sky
G             D
Do you think time
      A       G
Would pass me by
       A         G
'Cause you know I'd walk
  G         D
A thousand miles

If I could
G     D   A
Just see you
D
Tonight

    G  D
And I, I
A
Don't want to let you know
G  D
I, I
A
Drown in your memory
G  D
I, I
A
Don't want to let this go
G  D
I, I
G
Don't....

G               D
Making my way downtown

Walking fast

Making a way
            G  D
Through the crowd


(G,D,A)
'Cause I still need you
(G,D,A)
And I still miss you

And now I wonder....

If I could fall
A        G
Into the sky

Do you think time

Get Good

Verse 1:
 C
 Crashed on the floor when I moved in 
 This little bungalow with some strange new friends
        C/B
 (Stay) up too late, and I'm too thin 
 We promise each other it's 'til the end
             Am
 (Now we're) spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us 
 With pretty eyed-boys girls die to trust
     G
 (I) can't resist the day--no, I can't resist the day...

    Verse 2:
 C
 Jenny screams out and it's no pose
 'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
 C/B
 Beer through the nose on an inside joke 
 I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
       Am
 (And) she's so pretty, and she's so sure
 Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
 G 
 Summer's all in bloom 
 Summer's ending soon...

    CHORUS:

            F             Am          G     F
 (It's al)right, and it's nice not to be so alone
       Am   G            F 
 But I hold on to your secrets in 
 C     Am  G   
 White hou-ses 

    Verse 3:
C
 Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
 I come undone at the things he said
       C/B
 (And) he's so funny in his bright red shirt
 We were all in love, and we all got hurt
     Am
 (I) sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
 The smell of gasoline in the summer heat,
              G
 (Boy, we're) going way too fast
 It's all too sweet to last...

    CHORUS 2:
            F          Am    G           F
 (It's al)right, and I put myself in his hands
       Am   G           F 
 But I hold on to his secrets in 
 C     Am  G
 White hou-ses
 F        Am          G           F
 Love, or something ignites in my veins
       Am       G      F 
 And I pray it never fades, in 
 C     Am  G
 White hou-ses  

    Bridge:

F   C      Am      G        F
 My  first   time,  hard to explain
            C       Am       G            F
 Rush of blood, oh,   and a little bit of pain
         C        Am           G              F
 On a cloudy day,   it's more common than you think
      C   Am      G           C 
 He's  my   first  mistake...

    Verse 4:
C
 Maybe you were all faster than me
 We gave each other up so easily
         C/B
 (These) silly little wounds will never mend
 I feel so far from where I've been...

    CHORUS 3:
           F       Am          G         F
 (So I) go,  and I will not be back here again
     Am          G       F 
 I'm gone as the day is fading, on 
 C     Am  G
 White hou-ses
     F              Am       G          F
 (I) lied, wrote my injuries all the in dust
       Am             G        F 
 In my heart it's the five of us, in
 C     Am  G
 White hou-ses 
       F          Am       G
 (And) you, maybe you'll remember me
F       Am      G         F 
 What I gave is yours to keep, in
 C     Am  G    F 
 White hou-ses,     in
 C     Am  G    F 
 White hou-ses,     in
 C     Am  G     C
 White hou-ses...

C            G         Am         F
Some people live in a house on a hill
     C              G         Am    F
And wish they were someplace else
        C       G              Am         F
There's nobody there when the evening is still
C            G         Am    F
Secrets with no one to tell


     C           G            Am              F
And some I have known have a ship where they sleep
       C        G            Am    F
With sounds of rocks on the coast
      C         F      C            F
They sail over oceans five fathoms deep
      C               G            Am   F
They can't find what they want the most


    C G  Am        C  G Am F
And Even now when I'm alone
C            G         Am
I've always known with you
      F
I am home


     C            G                Am         F
And some live in towns, cardboard shack on concrete
      C          G        Am  F
All bluster and bustling life
      C              G              Am          F
They search for the color you can never quite see
            C   G        Am    F
Cause it's all white on white


    C G  Am        C  G Am F
And Even now when I'm alone
C            G         Am
I've always known with you
      F
I am home
    C G  Am        C  G Am F
And Even now when I'm alone
C            G         Am
I've always known with you

I am home


    C          G              Am            F
For me it's a glance and the smile on your face
     C             G             Am      F
The touch of your hands, and an honest embrace


     C               G
For where I lay it's you I keep,

This changing world and I fall asleep
      C         G      Am          F
With you all I know is I'm coming home,

Coming home

G               D
Making my way downtown
        A
Walking fast
A
Faces pass
              G
And I'm home bound

G               D
Staring blankly ahead
            A
Just making my way
         A
Making a way
            G  D
Through the crowd

(G,D,A)
Cause I need you
(G,D,A)
And I miss you

And now I wonder

If I could fall

Into the sky

Do you think time

If I could

Just see you

Tonight

G                      D
It's always times like these

When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
G        D
Think of me

G                     D
Cause everything's so wrong
             A
And I don't belong
Living in your
          G   D
Precious memories

(G,D,A)
Cause I need you
(G,D,A)
And I miss you
(G,D,A)    G  A
And now I wonder

  G        D
If I could fall

Just see you

Tonight

    G  D
And I I

Don't want to let you know

I, I

Drown in your memory

Don't want to let this go

Don't....

This is an incorrect tag for Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles. Please change your tags to say A Thousand Miles. Thank you!

&quot;A Thousand Miles&quot; is the first single from the album &quot;Be Not Nobody&quot;.  Some older live recordings, and a tape demo recording are named as &quot;Interlude&quot; with slightly different lyrics. The song features prominently in the 2004 movie White Chicks, starring Shawn and Marlon Wayans as FBI agents who go undercover as white girls. Speaking with Songfacts about its use in the film in a 2011 interview, Carlton said: &quot;I thought it was hilarious. Those guys are really nice, too. I ran into them backstage or something, and they asked me if they could use it.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

Chorus:  Down by the ri-ver,  I shot my ba-by

 Em        A
 Ooh, Ooh, shot her dead


Verse 2:You take my hand I'll take your hand, together we may get away,

        This must madness is too much sorrow, its impossible to make it

        today... She could drag me, over the rainbow, send me away


(Chorus)

  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

when you're filled with anxiety
