         D               
Well I'm sure there's someone watching over me
   B		    D
at night, while i'm sleeping. 
        D
'Cos no harm ever seems to come to me, 
   B               D
at night,while i'm sleeping 

     B            D       Asus2
They never let me wake to see 
             B            D        Asus2
who could be standing and guarding me 
             B
And when the morning comes 
     D                   E
they never seem to stick around 


      D
I see demons and spys with cyclops eyes 
   B                D
at night, while i'm sleeping. 
    D
And girls with claws and blood-stained floors 
   B                D
at night, while i'm sleeping. 
      D
I see bullets of steel and they clip my heels 
   B                D
at night, while i'm sleeping 
            D
And all the blades they spin and slit my skin 
   B                D
at night, while i'm sleeping 


  B               D       Asus2      B       D       Asus2
I must have had a hundred fights and changed dark to light. 
         B                D                       E(7fret)
But when i awoke all this violence and pain was alright.


          D                              B                   D
I'm gonna wait alone under my sheets and pretend to close my eyes 
           D
And i will wait until the sun comes up 
    B               D
And I will wait all night 
        D
I don't care if you don't come and show yourself 
       B                  D        
'cos i know you're always near me 
              D                                B                  D       
And when it's dark again i'll count to ten and you'll be standing by me

Why Won't You Give Me Your Love

A
It's funny how it tears me apart
  A7   
First it breaks your head then your heart
  D
I should've loved you better
     A
From the start
       
It's chewin' at my bones and my brains
              A7
It's workin' through the flesh that remains
D
Why can't this feelin' leave me 
         A
And just fade away?

E        D
From day one I led you on
A
I'm sorry girl but I can't stay
E            D
Things have changed they're not the same
    A
Now I must walk the other way

                                 
Confusion raining down from up high
 A7
And all the time you ask yourself 'why?'
 D
Why can't you make decisions
           A
Can't make up your mind
A
Although you're trying hard to forget
     A7
The reason why you feel so misled
    D
Now come on and forgive me
     A
I'll help you accept

E        D
From day one I led you on
    A
I'm sorry girl but I can't stay
E           D
Things have changed they're not the same
 A
Now I must walk the other way

Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy

I'm full of arrogance and uncertainty
     Am      F				                          C
When I can't find the words you teach my heart to speak

G                                    F              C
    You got to be the only one who knows just who I am

Cause the only place that I want to be is right back home with you 


Verse 3:
                 C	             Am		
I guess there's so much more I have to learn

But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn

School Friends

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      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

            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

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
