#Intro:
C Am Em G

C                      Am
You have never been in love
                 Em
Till you see the stars
               G
Reflect in the reservoirs.
C                          Am
And you have never been in love
                 Em
Till you see the dawn rise
      G
Behind the home for the blind.

           F       Dm       Am    G  F
We are the pretty, petty thieves.
           Dm              Am
And you're standing on our streets.

     G              C
Poor Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand
        Em
and the first to do time
                     Dm
first of the gang to die.
  G
oh my

     G              C
Poor Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand
        Em
and the first to do time
                     Dm
first of the gang to die.
  G
oh my

C                      Am
You have never been in love
                 Em
Till you see the sunlight thrown
     G
Over smashed human bone

           F       Dm       Am    G  F
We are the pretty, petty thieves.
           Dm              Am
And you're standing on our streets.

     G              C
Poor Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand
        Em
and the first to do time
                     Dm
first of the gang to die.
  G
such a silly boy
     
Poor Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand
      Em
and a bullet in his gullet
                   Dm
And the first lost lad
                G
To go under the side.

C Am Em G
C Em Dm G7

                      C
And he stole from the rich and the poor 
                              Em
and the not very rich and the very poor
                    Dm
He stole all hearts away
                    G7
He stole all hearts away

                    C     Em
He stole all hearts away, away
                    Dm
He stole all hearts away
                    G7
He stole all hearts away

                    C     Em
He stole all hearts away, away
                    Dm
He stole all hearts away
                    G7
He stole all hearts away
                    C
He stole all hearts away.

Bm  Em                    F#            
No,     I really don't think so-oo-oo-oo-oo
         Bm             Em        F#             Bm
That you think I'd be incapable of being on my own

That I would for a second let you back in through my door 

Bm      Em           F#     
I have spent many a nights

Even when you are by my side

I shed tears I couldn't dry

That could only mean I am me, once more

You would turn your head the other way

So you won't have to listen to what I have to say

You assume that I needed you
                 Em                  F#          Bm
But you didn't realize that I needed no one but myself

I needed no one but myself 

Em              F#
But I should thank you for

C                       D7
You were sitting at the coffee table
             G7              C
where you're reading Kierkegaard
                      D7
Minutes later, you proceeded to say
               G7              C
something that almost broke my heart

C           D7                     G7                  C
You said, "Darling, I am tired of livin' my routined life.
C                       D7                          G7          C
There's so much in the world that I'd like to soak up with my eyes."
C            D7                       G7            C
Well, baby I never did stop you from going out to explore
C                 D7                             G7                      C

feel the water on our backs

where we can carry on dreamin'

We can live in huts made out of grass, we can greet father time as he walks pass

D                                A
Sun rays come down as seen when they hit the ground,
              Em                         A
Children spinning around till they fall down down down.
   D                            A
I wait for you: it's been two hours now,
                   Em
You're still somewhere in town,
              A
Your dinners getting cold.
   D                       A
I rest my case you are always this late,
                  Em                    A
And you know how much I hate waiting around 'round 'round,

Em                    A                           Em
Bitter heart, bitter heart tries to keep it all inside,
                       A                                Em
Bitter heart, bitter heart shadows will help you try to hide,
                          A                               Em
Bitter heart, my bitter heart is gettin' just a little fragile,
                      A
Bitter heart, bitter heart of mine.

    D                                            A                            
And then you come and tell me the same reason as you did yesterday,
Em                A
So tell me what’s her name?
    D                                                   A
Doo doo da dum, doo doo da dum, doo doo doo doo doo doo da da dum dum,
                 Em               A
da da da da dum, da da da da dum, da da da da dum.

Em                    A                           Em
Bitter heart, bitter heart tries to keep it all inside,
                       A                                Em
Bitter heart, bitter heart shadows will help you try to hide,
                          A                               Em
Bitter heart, my bitter heart is gettin' just a little fragile,       
      A                                D        A        Em                D
Bitter heart, bitter heart of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine.

Bitter Heart

C      E
I am a honey bee,
Am
Shunned off from the colony
Fmaj7            G     C
And they won't let me in

C         E
So I left the hive,
Am
They took away all my stripes
Fmaj7            G     C
And broke off both my wings

C       E            Am
So I'll find another tree
Fmaj7        G       C
and make the wind my friend
C         E             Am
I'll just sing with the birds
Fmaj7           G              C
They'll tell me secrets of the world

Am     Gmaj7       C
But my other honey bee
Am          Gmaj7            C
Stuck where he doesn't wanna be
Am     Gmaj7          C
But my darling, honey bee
           F
I'll come save you
            Fm
Even if it means I'd have to face the queen

C   E  Am  Fmaj7  G  C
  Pa da bum ba dam bum ba da bum pum bum 

C       E       Am
So I'll come prepared,
       Fmaj7        G               C
My new friends said they would help me
C      E         Am
Get my loved one back

C        E        Am
They say it isn't right,
         Fmaj7    G           C
The bees have control of your mind,
C            E              Am
But I choose not to believe that

C        E           Am
So we'll meet in the darkness of the night,
      Fmaj7      G                C
And I promised I will be there on time
C         E               Am
We'll be guided by my new friends, the butterflies,
         Fmaj7       G          C
Bring us back to our own little hive

Am    Gmaj7       C
Oh my other honey bee,
Am              Gmaj7                  C
No longer stuck where he doesn't wanna be
Am    Gmaj7          C
Oh my darling, honey bee,
        F
I have saved you
                         Fm
And now that you're with me,

We can make our own honey

C   E  Am  Fmaj7  G  C
  Oh Pa da bum ba dam bum ba da bum pum bum

You were sittin' at the coffee table

     G7                    C
Where you're reading Kierkegaard,

                  B7   
Minutes later you proceded to say something 

     G7             C
That almost broke my heart.

C C# G7

      C                     G
Semalam I call you, you tak answer.
      G7                  C
You kata you keluar pergi dinner.
                           G
You kata you keluar dengan kawan you.
           G7                             C
But when I called Tommy he said it wasn't true.

     C                    G
So I drove my car pergi Damansara.
        G7              C
Tommy kata maybe you tengok bola.
                       G
Tapi bila I sampai you, you tak ada.
  G7             C
Lagilah I jadi gila.

     C                            G
So I called and called sampai you answer.
      G7                       C
You kata sorry sayang tadi tak dengar.
                              G
My phone was on silent, I was at the gym.
       G7                             C
Tapi latar belakang suara perempuan lain.

     G     G7      C
Sudahlah sayang, I don't believe you.
            G               G7          C
I've always known that your words were never true.
       G      G7         C
Why am I with you, I pun tak tahu.
   C            C#                   G7
No wonderlah my friends pun tak suka you.

     C                           G
So I guess that's the end of our story.
        G7                        C
Akhir kata, she accepted his apology.
                               G
Tapi last last kita dapat tahu she was cheating too.
         C              Am          F G

'Honey Bee' is about a romance between two nonconformists who are different from the rest of the hive, and are trying to avoid the pressure to be like everybody else.

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

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

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.

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

when you get yourself depressed

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]

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
