Intro: E5  E  D  E  D  E  D   E  D

E                         D
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

  A                         G      E      E7
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain

    E                    D
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two

    A                         G         E     E7
and speak my point of view but it's not sane, It's not sane

E              D              E           D 
   I just want    some one to say to me   oh,

E              D                 E     D      
   I'll always be there when you wake     yeah...

E                       D              E        D

E                D                   E        D    
    So stay with me and I'll have it made

      E                      D   
And I don't understand why I sleep all day

      A                       G         E     E7 
And I start to complain that there's no rain

    E                      D 
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake

   A                           G           E 
It rips my life away, but it's a great escape


Escape, escape, esca-a-aye-ape......

Solo: E  D  E  D

This is my first tab on here so tell me if there's anything wrong. You can play the intro either way, but I think it sounds better if you can work the E chord into it smoothly. 

Also, I thought it would be pointless to transcribe all the chords to words again so I copied them from a previous post (can I do that?) Thanks Marra!

Couldn't Stand The Weather

G      Em
I found a love for me
               C                         D
Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead
                G                 Em
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
                   G                         Em
But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds
                  C               G  D
I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime
               G                            Em 
Darling just hold my hand, be my girl, I’ll be your man
          C              D
I see my future in your eyes



       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath

But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

G Em C D 


       Em     C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em

Somewhere

Intro -- Dm

Dm                       F
This is the song where I listen

Bb                       G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                     F
I called the dogs off all the things I?m missing

       Bb
And to everyone but you before I set sail


       G          Eb         Bb
I said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
These are tough times

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm                         F
This is the song where you speak up

Bb                             G
This is the song where you get moving

    Dm                            F
You cried some trouble out into a tea cup

       Bb
And to me but no-one else before you threw it



         G          Eb         Bb
You said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
These are tough times 

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm F Bb G (4 times)


Dm                            F
I put ashore in front of our apartment

    Bb                                       G
And watched you comb the stoop for shards of porcelain

     Dm                                         F
Satisfied that there were none that broke the silence

          Bb
And after this I promise not to interrupt again


      Dm                       F
Cause this is the song where I listen

Bb                       G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                     F
Until our heartbeats drown out the clock ticking

        Bb
And the song is just I love you and always will


G          Eb         Bb
Good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck

This Is The Song

E                              B                 A
I don't have much to give, but I don't care for gold
A           G#             F#m                     E
What use is money, when you need someone to hold
E                              B               A
Don't have direction I'm just rolling down this road
A           G#             F#m                     E
Waiting for you to bring me in from out the cold

        F#m                                 G#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
   F#m                               B
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

E                            A/F#m
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring
A           G#         F#m      E
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
E                            A/F#m
Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me
C#m         F#7     A       E
Leave your lover, leave him for me

E                               B              A
We sit in bars and raise our drinks to growing old
A       A/G#                F#m         E
I'm in love with you and you will never know
E                              B             A
But if I can't have you I'll walk this life alone
A              G#              F#m            E
Spare you the rising storms and let the river flow

        F#m                                 G#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
    F#m                              B
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

E                             A/F#m
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring
A           G#         F#m      E
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
E                           A/F#m
Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me
C#m         F#7     A         E
Leave your lover, leave him for me
C#m         F#7     A         E
Leave your lover, leave him for me

Leave Your Lover

G                         Em
When the streetlights come on,
                              Am
the pooling light is leveed aside
                   C                       Em
And pressed in twilight against our two rooms.
                Cmaj7
I'll see you tonight.
                  G                    Em
The pavement is aching, cicadas are crying,
                 Am                                  C
the wine-colored air breathing thoughts through your hair,
            Em               Cmaj7
breezing to me, leading me there...

[Chorus]
Em       C             G       Cmaj7
I come alive as the shadows parade.
Em              C              G             Cmaj7
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves.
Em              C            G     Cmaj7               Cmaj7
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say.

 - Same progression continues through song. -

[Verse]
And I find you, twilit beyond all the cars.
In driveways they sleep, but streetlights will keep watch over me.
They flickers like stars.
And now the secrets carefully kept inside run the streets red,
Our chemicals spread, washing us through, making you mine...

[Chorus]
I come alive as the shadows parade.
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves.
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say.
[Break]

[Verse]
Now therea re no words, only the glow in our wires.
And so we will be, you turn slow to me...
Our lips set the sun... (I'll never leave you...)
The hills are on fire... Oh...

[Chorus]
I come alive as the shadows parade.
My hot summer blood comes in floods and in waves.
Curbside confessions, no longer afraid of what you'll say.

Speeding down the highway on ninety three

I'm feeling alright

The Boys Are Back

A7aug 2110; Bm7b5 2212; Em7b5 0201; Cm/F 0313; Dm7b5 1213
[Verse 1]

Gm7           Am7 A7aug  Dm
 Lent you Out-si -daz,   and my new Badu.
Bm7b5        Bbmaj7    A7aug           Dm
 While I was thinking, I didn't have a clue.

Gm7       Am7  A7aug  Dm
 Tough to sort files,  with your voice in my head.
Bm7b5                 Bbmaj7      A7aug           Dm
 So then I bribed you downstairs, with a Marlboro Red.


[Bridge 1]

   Em7b5         A7aug           Dm
So now I feel so small, discover-ing you knew.
Em7b5          A7aug                  Dm
 How much more torture would you have put me through?
    Em7b5           A7aug       Dm
You probably saw me laughing at all your jokes.
   Em7b5         A7aug               Dm
Or how I did not mind when you stole all my smokes.


[Chorus 1]

Cm/F             Ebmaj7              Dm7b5 G7   Cm
 And although my pride, yeah, is not easy  to dis-turb,
Cm/F         Ebmaj7           Dm7b5     G7   Cm
 You sent me flying, when you kicked me to the kerb.
Cm/F                Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7     Cm
 With your battered jeans, and your Beasties tee,
Cm/F                   Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7    Cm
 Now I can't work like this,  with you next to me.


[Verse 2]

Gm7                 Am7 A7aug  Dm
 And although he is no -thing,  in the scheme of my years,
Bm7b5              Bbmaj7    A7aug      Dm
 It just serves to bludgeon,  my futile tears.

Gm7          Am7     A7aug  Dm
 And I'm not used to this;   I observe, I don't chase.
Bm7b5                        Bbmaj7   A7aug        Dm
 But now I'm sick with conse-quences, thrust in my face.


[Bridge 2]

        Em7b5      A7aug        Dm
And the melodramas of my day de-livery blows,
     Em7b5           A7aug            Dm
That surpass your re-jection; it just goes to show.
  Em7b5              A7aug               Dm
A simple attraction, that reflects right back to me,
       Em7b5       A7aug        Dm
So I'm not as into you, as I ap-pear to be.


[Chorus 2]

Cm/F             Ebmaj7              Dm7b5 G7   Cm
 And although my pride, yeah, is not easy  to dis-turb,
Cm/F         Ebmaj7           Dm7b5     G7       Cm
 You sent me flying, when you kicked me to the kerb.
Cm/F                Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7     Cm
 With your battered jeans, and your Beasties tee,
Cm/F                   Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7    Cm
 Now I can't work like this,  with you next to me.


[Verse 3]

Gm7              Am7 A7aug  Dm
 His message was bru-tal,    but the delivery was kind.
Bm7b5       Bbmaj7   A7aug             Dm
 Maybe if I get this down, I'll get it off my mind.

Gm7               Am7    A7aug  Dm
 It serves to con-dition me,     and smoothen my kinks,
Bm7b5            Bbmaj7           A7aug       Dm
 Despite my frus-tration, for the way that he thinks.


[Bridge 3]

      Em7b5                    A7aug             Dm
And I knew the speech, when it came, would be to that effect,
   Em7b5                     A7aug           Dm
At least you're attracted to me, which I did not expect.
       Em7b5              A7aug           Dm
Didn't think you'd get my number down and such,
         Em7b5       A7aug         Dm
But I've never hated myself for my age, so much.


[Chorus 3]

Cm/F             Ebmaj7              Dm7b5 G7   Cm
 And although my pride, yeah, is not easy  to dis-turb,
Cm/F         Ebmaj7           Dm7b5     G7       Cm
 You sent me flying, when you kicked me to the kerb.
Cm/F                Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7.       Cm
 With your battered jeans, and your Beasties tee,
Cm/F                   Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7     Cm
 Now I can't work like this,  with you next to me.


[Chorus 4]

Cm/F             Ebmaj7              Dm7b5 G7     Cm
 And although my pride, yeah, is not easy  to dis-turb,
Cm/F         Ebmaj7           Dm7b5     G7     Cm
 You sent me flying, when you kicked me to the kerb.
Cm/F                Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7       Cm
 With your battered jeans, and your Beasties tee,
Cm/F                   Ebmaj7 Dm7b5    G7      Cm
 Now I can't work like this,  with you next to me.
