C                Em
I hope this old train breaks down
Am                  G
Then I could take a walk around
C                    Em
And, see what there is to see
Am                  G
And time is just a melody
C                    
All the people in the street
Em
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
Am                    G
I just roam through town
C                            
And though my windows got a view
Em                  
The frame im looking through
Am                              G
Seems to have no concern for me now

So for now

[Chorus]
C      Em

C    Em
Oh, please just

C            Em
This engine screams out loud
Am              G
Sayin the beat gonna crawl westbound
C               Em
So I dont even make a sound
Am                               G
Cause its gunna sting me when I leave this town
C
All the people in the street
Em
That i'll never get to meet
   Am               G
If these dont bend somehow
C
And I got no time

C
But you cant stop nothing
Em
If you got no control
Am
Of the thoughts in your mind
G
That you kept in, you know
C
You dont know nothing
Em
But you dont need to know
Am
The wisdoms in the trees
G
Not the glass windows
C
You cant stop wishing
Em
If you dont let go
Am
But things that you find
G
And you lose, and you know
C
You keep on rolling
Em
Put the moment on hold
Am
The frames too bright
G
So put the blinds down low

[C] I hope this old [Em] train breaks down.
[Am] Then I could take a [G] walk around and
[C] See what there [Em] is to see
[Am] Time is just a [G] melody

With all the [C] people in the street
Walking [Em] fast as their feet
Can take them, [Am] I just roll through [G] town. 

And though my [C] window's got a view,
Well, the [Em] frame I'm looking through,
Seems to [Am] have no concern for me [G] now. 

[C] I need this [Am] old train to [G] break down
[C] Oh, please just [Am] let me please [G] breakdown

[C] Well, this engine [Em] screams out loud,
[Am] Centipede gonna [G] crawl west bound.
[C] So I don't even [Em] make a sound cause
[Am] It's gonna sting me when I [G] leave this town.

And all the [C] people in the street
That I'll [Em] never get to meet
(if) these [Am] tracks don't bend [G] somehow. 

And [C] I got no time
that I [Em] got to get to where
[Am] I don't need to [G] be. 

[C] I need this [Am] old train to [G] break down
[C] Oh, please just [Am] let me please [G] breakdown.

[C] I need this [Am] old train to [G] break down
[C] Oh, please just [Am] let me please [G] breakdown
[G] I wanna [F] break on [C] down.
[G] But I [F] can't stop now. [C]
[G] Let me [F] break on down. [C] [G]

[F] But you [C] can't stop nothing if you [Em] got no control
Of the [Am] thoughts in your mind that you [G] kept in you, know.
You [C] don't know nothing, but you [Em] don't need to know.
The [Am] wisdom's in the trees, not the [G] glass windows.
You [C] can't stop wishing if you [Em] don't let go
The [Am] things that you find and you [G] lose you know.
You [C] keep on rolling, put the [Em] moment on hold.
The [Am] frame's too bright so put the [G] blinds down low.
And...

[C] I need this [Am] old train to [G] break down
[C] Oh, please just [Am] let me please [G] breakdown
[C] I need this [Am] old train to [G] break down

You don't know nothing

But you don't need to know

The wisdoms in the trees

Not the glass windows

You cant stop wishing
        EM
If you don't let go
     AM
But things that you find
         G
And you lose, and you know
     C
You keep on rolling
          EM
Put the moment on hold
       AM
The frames too bright
            G
So put the blinds down low

Verse
C                                                Em
I hope this old train breaks down
Am                                               G
Then I could take a walk around
C                                               Em
And, see what there is to see
Am                                    G
And time is just a melody
All the people in the street
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
I just roll through town
And though my windows got a view
The frame I'm looking through
Seems to have no concern for now
So for now

Chorus

Hey, ¿qué fortachón el cielo elevó?

Cuando eras de esta altura, éste

por las islas que traje del mar

No ruegues jamás, nunca más, de nada

[Parte Rap]
C
De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

Por el mundo especial que doy

Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)

School Friends

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
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            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
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

F         C              Am        G
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

Am     C           G      F   
Ow-ow, the Bowery, ow-ow, the whiskey neat

It Ain't Me

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
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
