Verse 1:

                E                  G#m               E    G#m
Just give me a second, darling, to clear my head
         E                    G#m                 E    G#m
Just put down those scissors, baby, on the single bed
    E                      G#m
The sand in the hour glass is running low
               E                            G#m
I came through thunder, the cold, wind, the rain and the snow
   A
To find you awake by your window sill
   G#m                       F#m
A sight for sore eyes, and a view to kill

Verse 2:

  E                       G#m
I broke down in horror at you standing there
  E                       G#m
The glow from the moon shone through cracks in your hair
  E                       G#m
I shouted with passion ?e I love you so much?
  E                       G#m
But feeling my skin, it was cold to the touch
  A
You whispered where are you?
  A
I questioned your doubt
  G#m                      F#m
But soon realised you were talking to God now

Pre-Chorus - E

Chorus:



A                       B
You got blood your hands

And I know it?s mine

I just need more time
   A                      F#m                  C#m
So get of your low, let?s dance like we used to
              A               B                 C#m
But there?s a light in the distance, waiting for me

I will wait for you
   A                      F#m                  C#m

Verse 3:

  E                       G#m
I looked in the mirror, but something was wrong
  E                       G#m
I saw you behind, but my reflection was gone
           E                       G#m
There was smoke in the fireplace as white as the snow
  E                       G#m
A voice then come gently ?eIt?s your time to go?
  A                            A
That record you played, as you beg for forgiveness
       G#m
?eDon?t touch me? I screamed
       F#m
I?ve got unfinished business

Unfinished Business

E 
You talked me to sleep last night
C#m                F#m
I hadn't felt that sad in years
E
Your eyes like glass mistakes
C#m            F#m
They moved me close to tears
G#m                
You speak those favorite fables which I'm yet to live
F#m
And casually confirm my fears
C#m                           G#m
That I've got nothing to give

F#                               G#m         D#m
I wish I could say that I've got no regrets
F#                                   G#m        D#m
But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk
F#                              G#m             D#m
I wish I could say I've come to time like old
A                          C#m           A
But as you said goodbye, I almost died
C#m             F#
I almost died

E
I take it back, all of it
                      C#m           F#m
Those names I called myself
E
The heroes of my childhood
      C#m                      F#m
Like hardbacks on the shelf
G#m
I take it back those promises I made to everyone
F#m
I'm falling through a ribbon last
C#m                          G#m
Before I'd learned to run

F#                               G#m        D#m
I wish I could say that I've got no regrets
F#                                   G#m        D#m
But saying that would be one more to pile on my desk
F#                              G#m            D#m
I wish I could say I've come to time like old
A                          C#m          F#     A
But as you said goodbye, I almost died
  C#m             F#      A
I almost died
  C#m              F#     A
I almost died

Nothing To Give

Intro (Repeat X4)
G                           D         C                 E      

Verse
G                          D      C                     E
I love the feeling when we lift up
G                           D    C                      E	
Watching the world so small below 
G                          D       C                    E
I love the dreaming when I think of
G                            D        C                 E
The saftey in the clouds out my window
G                         D      C                      E	
I wonder what keeps us so high up
G                             D          C              E
Could there be a love beneath these wings
G                            D         C                E
If we suddenly fall should I scream out
G                                  Bm
Or keep very quite and cling to my mouth as I'm crying 
   D
So frightend of dying 
  G
Relax yes I?m trying
    A           C       G		
But fears got a hold on me
Bm                                        Em
            Yes, this fears got a hold on me
Bm                    D                   G	
            Yes, this fears got a hold on me


G                                 Em   C     x2

G                                 Em   C 
I love the quite of the night time
G                              Em   C 
When the sun in the deathly sea
G                                          Em   C 		
I can feel my heart beating as I speed from
G                                     Em   C 
Then sense of time catching up with me
G                             Em   C 
The sky set out like a pathway
G                                  Em   C 
But who decides which route we take
G                                 Em   C
As people drift into a dream world
G                                     Bm
I close my eyes as my hands shake and when I see a new day
      D
Who's driving this anyway 
  G
I picture my own grave
       A          C       G
Cause fears got a hold on me
Bm                           Em
Yes this fears got a hold on me
Bm                   D                   G
            Yes this fears got a hold on me
Bm                                       Em
            Yes this fears got a hold on me
Bm                                       G
            Yes this fears got a hold on me


C                Bm           G                Em
Floating neither up or down I wonder when I'll hit the ground
C                      Bm
Will the earth beneath my body shake
G                      Em
And cast your sleeping hearts awake
C                           Bm
Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies
G                         Em
Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes
C                          Bm
I live on the right side I sleep in the left
C
Thats why everythings got to be love or death

Outro (Repeat x8)
G                        D  C                             E
                                Yes this fears got a hold on me

Farewell To The Fairground

Intro: D A Bm G

VERSE 1

       D                          A          Bm    G
Did I sit alone and ask about my future?
           D                    A      Bm    G
When you replied I just turned away
           D                                     A               Bm    G
I've been searching through my books to try and find some truth
           D                       A      Bm    G
Perhaps disguised as a mysterious way

VERSE 2

           D            A         Bm              G
And if I made a promise, could I stay by your side?
           D                 A
Would you guarantee my safety?
              Bm             G
And say that I'd be all right

BRIDGE

        Bm
But if Judgement Day started tonight
                          G
At least I'd know I was right and I'd be laughing at the end of the world
Bm                                             A
Take my hand tonight I'll think we'll be all right, girl

CHORUS

           E
And I can see it on the TV
            Bm       (D)
There's an air attack
E                                   Bm           (D)
People of the mountains, screaming "I'll be back!"
        E               
And I'm banging on your door
         Bm            (D)
So come on and let me in!
E               
  Need a place to hide
Bm                   G                         D 
  I need a place to hide before the storm begins

D A Bm G

(Repeat chord pattern of verse)

If I told you all the times that I'd done wrong
Could you bathe my soul and wash it all away?
I can't forgive the things that I can still remember
So I think my friendly sins are here to stay

And I could make a promise
With a tear in my eye
And all the hope in my heart
But all the doubt in my mind

(Repeat chord pattern of bridge)

And if Judgement Day started tonight at least I'd know I was right
And I'd be laughing at the end of the world
Take my hand tonight I think we'll be all right, girl

(Repeat chord pattern of chorus)

And I can see it on the TV
There's an air attack
People on the mountains, screaming "I'll be back!"
And I'm banging on your door
So come on and let me in!
Need a place to hide       
                                            D   A  Bm  G
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

                    D   A  Bm  G
Before the storm begins
Before the storm begins
                    D   A
Before the storm begins
Bm                 G                         D   A  Bm  G
I need a place to hide before the storm begins

A Place To Hide

Am                 C              G               
If you tell me to jump then I'll die
In my dreams I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams I'm there

Am                 C              G
You can tie my hands to the walls
Buy you can't tie my dreams to this place
I might fall like a rock from your heart
But you won't see me fall from grace

F                 Am  
Fate always loses hold
G                    Dm
Like electric sparks in my heart
F                 Am
Fate always loses hold
G                     Dm              E
Now be a good girl and do what you're told

Am                 C             G
If you tell me to jump then I'll die
In my dreams I'm there
I always hoped that I'd learn how to fly
In my dreams I'm there

Am                    C            G
I leave my memoirs in blood on the floor
And my fears with the nurse on the stairs
I'm only going where you'll be someday
So don't say rest in peace in your prayers

F                 Am
Fate always loses hold
G                   Dm
Like electric sparks in my heart

Dm                                      Am
He said to lose my life or lose my love,
           Gm                               Dm
That's the nightmare I've been running from.
Dm                                    Am
So let me hold you in my arms a while,
      Gm                         Dm
I was always careless as a child.

Dm                                           Am
And there's a part of me that still believes,
   Gm                             Dm
My soul will soar above the trees.
Dm                                          Am
But a desperate fear flows through my blood,
         Gm                                Dm
That our dead loves buried beneath the mud.

Dm                      C
Let's grow old together,
    Gm
And die at the same time.
Dm                      C
Let's grow old together,

And die at the same time.

I said I've got no time I have to go,
    Gm                                       Dm    
And I was more right then now I'll ever know.
Dm                                           Am
He said my heart is faint, will minds regret,
    Gm                                        Dm
And left him crying next to the chapels steps.

Let's grow old together,

And die at the same time.

That's the nightmare I've been running from.

To Lose My Life

According to the Death Songfacts, lyricist Charles Cave admitted to Mojo that this song &quot;has a pretty depressing lyric.&quot; He added: &quot;But it's uplifting too because it can help people feel it's alright to think and worry about these things.&quot; 

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#
I'm going where the people know my name

  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A

American Dream 

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

[chorus]

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)


A                       E
when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

E D                 A

Overreacting

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
