2. Fall Away
[Chorus]
Dm Am
I don't wanna fall, fall away
Bb F C
I don't wanna fall, fall away
Dm Am
I'll keep the lights on in this place
Bb F C
'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away
[Verse]
Dm
I disguise and I will lie
Am
And I will take my precious time
Bb
As the days spent away as I stand in line
F C
And I die as I wait as I wait on my crime
Dm
And I'll try to delay what you make of my life
Am
But I don't want your way, I want mine
Bb
I'm dying and trying but believe me I'm fine
F C
But I'm lying, I'm so very far from fine
Dm Am Bb
And I can feel the pull begin
F Dm
I feel my conscience wearing thin
Am Bb F C
And my skin, It will start to break up and fall apart
[Chorus]
Dm Am
I don't wanna fall, fall away
Bb F C
I don't wanna fall, fall away
Dm Am
I'll keep the lights on in this place
Bb F C
'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away
[Verse]
Dm
Every time I feel selfish ambition is taking my vision
Am
And my crime is my sentence, repentance is taking commission
Bb
It's taking a toll on my soul, I'm screaming submission and
F C
I don't know if I am dying or living
Dm
'Cause I will save face for name's sake, abuse grace
Am
Take aim to obtain a new name and a newer place
Bb
But my name is lame, I can't walk and I ain't the same
F C
And my name became a new destiny to the grave
Dm Am Bb
And I can feel the pull begin
F Dm
I feel my conscience wearing thin
Am Bb F C
And my skin, It will start to break up and fall apart
[Chorus]
Dm Am
I don't wanna fall, fall away
Bb F C
I don't wanna fall, fall away
Dm Am
I'll keep the lights on in this place
Bb F C
'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away
3. The Pantaloon
[Verse 1]
G C
Your grandpa died
Em
When you were nine
D
They said he had
G
Lost his mind
C
You have learned
Em
Way too soon
D G C Em D
You should never trust the pantaloon
G C
Now it's your turn
Em
To be alone
D
Find a wife
G
And build yourself a home
C
You have learned
Em
Way too soon
D C
That your dad is now a pantaloon
[Hook]
G
You are tired
Em
You are hurt
D
A moth ate through
C
Your favorite shirt
G Em
And all your friends fertilize
D
The ground you walk
C D G
Lose your mind
[Verse 2]
C, G, Em, D progression through this part
He's seen too many stare downs
Between the sun and the moon
In the morning air
How he used to hustle all the people
Walking through the fairgrounds
He's been around so long
He's changed his meaning of a chair now
Because a chair now,
Is like a tiny island in the sea of all the people
Who glide across the very surface
That made his bones feeble
The end can't come soon enough
But is it too soon?
Either way he can't deny
He is a pantaloon
[Hook]
G
You are tired
Em
You are hurt
D
A moth ate through
C
Your favorite shirt
G Em
And all your friends fertilize
D
The ground you walk
C D G
Lose your mind
[Verse 3]
G C
You like to sleep alone
Em
It's colder than you know
D
Cause your skin is so
G
Used to colder bones
C
It's warmer in the morning
Em
Than what it is at night
D
Your bones are held together
C
By your nightmare and your frights
[Hook]
G
You are tired
Em
You are hurt
D
A moth ate through
C
Your favorite shirt
G Em
And all your friends fertilize
D
The ground you walk
C D G
Lose your mind
4. Addict With A Pen
Intro: G D7 Em C
[Verse 1]
G D7
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
Em C G
I know I haven't been the best of sons
-G- D7
Hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind
Em C
And I haven't found a drop...
G D7
Of life.
-D7 - Em C
I haven't found a drop...Of you
-C- G D7
I haven't found a drop...

I haven't found a drop...
G D7 Em C
Of water
-C- G D7 Em C
Waaaaaater Ooohh
G D7 Em C
ahh...
[Verse 2]
G
I tried desperately to run through the sand
D7
As I hold the water in the palm of my hand
Em
'Cause it's all that I have, and it's all that I need
C
And the waves of the water mean nothing to me
G
But I tried my best and all that I can
D7
To hold tightly onto what's left in my hand
Em
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
C
The sand will slow me down, and the water will drain
[Verse 3]
G
I'm just begin dramatic, in fact
D7
I'm only at it again
As an addict with a pen
Who's addicted to wind
Em
As it blows me back and forth
Mindless, spineless, and pretend
C
Of course I'll be here again
See you tomorrow
G
But it's the end of today
End of my ways
As a walking denial
D7
My trial was filed
As a crazy suicidal headcase
Em
But you specialize in dying
C
You hear me screaming, "Father!"
And I'm lying here just crying
G D7 Em C
So wash me with your water
[Verse 4]
G D7
Hello, we haven't talked in quite some time
Em C G
I know I haven't been the best of sons
-G- D7
Hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind
Em C
And I haven't found a drop...
G D7
Of life.
-D7 - Em C
I haven't found a drop...Of you
-C- G D7
I haven't found a drop...
Em C
I haven't found a drop...
G D7 Em C
Of water
-C- G D7 Em C
Waaaaaater Ooohh
G D7 Em C
5. Friend Please
[Verse 1]
Cm Gm
I feel for you but when did you believe you were alone
Cm Gm
You say that spiders crawled inside and made themselves a home
F D
Where light once was
Cm Gm
Petrified of who you are and who you have become
Cm Gm
You will hide from everyone, denying you need someone
F D
To exterminate your bones
[Chorus]
Bb F Gm Eb
Friend, please remove your hands from
Bb F Gm D
Over your eyes for me
Bb F Gm Eb
I know you want to leave but
Bb F Gm D Cm Gm
Friend, please don't take your life away from me
[Instrumental]
Cm Gm Cm Gm
[Verse 2]
Cm Gm
Living like a ghost you walk by everyone you know

You say that you're fine but you have lost your sway and glow
F D
So I stopped by to let you know
[Chorus]
Bb F Gm Eb
Friend, please remove your hands from
Bb F Gm D
Over your eyes for me
Bb F Gm Eb
I know you want to leave but
Bb F Gm Eb D Gm
Friend, please don't take your life away from me
[Verse 3]
Bb Dm Eb
Would you let me know your plans tonight
Bb Dm Eb
'Cause I just won't let go 'til we both see the light
Bb Eb
And I have nothing else left to say
Bb D Eb F
But I will listen to you all day, yes I will
[Instrumental]
Cm Gm Cm Gm F D
[Chorus]
Bb F Gm Eb
Friend, please remove your hands from
Bb F Gm D
Over your eyes for me
Bb F Gm Eb
I know you want to leave but

6. March To The Sea
[Verses]
G C
There's miles of land in front of us.
Em
And we're dying with every step we take.
D
We're dying with every breath we make.
G
And I'll fall in line.
C
The stranger's back is all I see.
Em
He's only a few feet in front of me.
D
And I'll look left and right sometimes,
G
But I'll fall in line.
C
No one looks up anymore,
Em
Cause you might get a rain drop in your eye.
D
And heaven forbid they see you cry,
G
As we fall in line.
C
And about this time of every year,
Em
The line will go to the ocean pier
D
And walk right off into the sea.
G
And then we fall asleep.
G C Em D 3x
G C
And as we near the end of land,
Em
And our ocean graves are just beyond the sand.
D G
I ask myself the question, "Why... I fall in line?"
C
Then out of the corner of my eye,
Em
I see a spaceship in the sky
D
and hear a voice inside my head.
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D 2x
"Follow me."
G C Em D
G C
Then the wages of war will start
Em
Inside my head with my counterparts.
D
And the emotionless marchers will chant the phrase,
G
"This line's the only way."
C
And then I start down the sand.
Em
My eyes are focused on the end of land.
D
But again the voice inside my head says,
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me instead."
C G D
"Follow me."
C G D
"Follow me instead." [5x]
G C
Take me up, Seal the door.
Em
I don't wanna march here anymore.
D
I realize that this line is dead.
G
So I'll follow you instead.
C
So then you put me back in my place,
Em
So I might start another day.
D
And once again I will be,
In a march to the sea.

They blame it on the time.

Intro: Em Bm G Bm F#
Em Bm
He wakes up early today

Throws on a mask that will alter his face
Em Bm
Nobody knows his real name
G Bm F#
But now he just uses one he saw on a grave
Em Bm G
He pretends that he's okay
Bm F# Em
But you should see

Him in bed late at night, he's petrified

Take me out, and finish this waste of a life

Everyone gather around for a show

Watch as this man disappears as we know

Do me a favor and try to ignore

As you watch him fall through a bleeding trapdoor

11. A Car, A Torch, A Death
G D
The air begins to feel a little thin
Bm A
As I start the car and then I begin
G D
To add the miles piled up behind me
Bm A
I barely feel a smile deep inside me
[Verse 2]
G D
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south
Bm A
I want to crack the door so I can just fall out
G D
But then I remember when you packed my car
Bm A
You reached in the back and buckled up your heart
G D Bm A
For me to drive away with
[Chorus]
G D Bm
I began to understand
A G
Why God died
G D Bm A
[2x]
[Verse 3]
G D
The demon sat there waiting on her porch
Bm A
It was a little dark so we held a makeshift torch
G D
And when my car was far out of sight
Bm A
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night
[Verse 4]
G
And then I felt chills in my bones
D
The breath I saw was not my own
Bm
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame
A
Wasn't made to play this game
G
And then I saw Him, torch in hand
D
He laid it out, what he had planned
Bm
And then I said, I'll take the grave
A
Please, just send them all my way
[2x]
G D Bm A
[Chorus]
G D Bm
I began to understand
A
Why God died
G D Bm A
[2x]
[Outro]
G D
The air begins to feel a little thin
Bm A
As we're waiting for the morning to begin
G D
But for now you told me to hold this jar
Bm
And when I looked inside, I saw
A
It held your heart
G D Bm A
For me to walk away with
G D Bm
I began to understand
A
Why God died

[Intro] A/F# Asus4 A Asus2 x2
[Verse 1]
A/F# Asus4 A
I wanna fall inside your ghost
Asus2 A/F# Asus4 A Asus2
And fill up every hole inside my mind
A/F# Asus4 A
And I want everyone to know
Asus2 A/F# Asus4 A Asus2
That I am half a soul divid..ed

Sometimes we will die and sometimes we will fly away
Bm F#m E

And if I'm not there and I'm far away
A Amaj7 F#m
I said, "Don't be afraid."
A Amaj7 F#m Asus4
I said, "Don't be afraid. We're going home."
A/F# Asus4 A Asus2 x2

A Amaj7 F#m
I said, "Don't be afraid."
A Amaj7 F#m Asus4
I said, "Don't be afraid. We're going home."
A Amaj7 F#m x2
[Verse 3]
A Amaj7
So the hearse ran out of gas
F#m
A passenger person grabbed a map
And the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past
A
And checked his watch and grabbed a cab
Amaj7
A beautifully plain taxi cab
F#m
A cab, had it cleared out back and two men started to unpack
A
Driving once again
Amaj7
But now this time there were three men
F#m
And then I heard one of them say,
"I know the night will turn to gray
A
I know the stars will start to fade
Amaj7
When all the darkness fades away
F#m
We had to steal him from his fate
So he could see another day."
A Amaj7
Then I cracked open my box
F#m
Someone must have picked the lock
A little light revealed the spot
A
Where my fingernails had fought
Amaj7
Then I pushed it open more
F#m
Pushing up against the door
Then I sat up off the floor
A
And found the breath I was searching for
Amaj7
Then there were three men up front
F#m
All I saw were backs of heads
A
And then I asked, "Am I alive and well or am I dreaming dead?"
Amaj7
And then one turned around to say,
F#m
"We're driving toward the morning sun
Where all your blood is washed away
A
And all you did will be undone."
Amaj7 F#m
[Outro]
A Amaj7 F#m
I said, "Don't be afraid."
A Amaj7 F#m Asus4
I said, "Don't be afraid. We're going home."
A Amaj7 F#m x2

[Verse 1]
Em Am G B
Now is the climax to the story
Em Am G B
That gives the demons and angels purpose
Em Am G B
They fly around while we are walking
Em Am G B C
And mold our emotions just to please them
[Chorus]
D Em
I am cold, can you hear
G B C
I will fly, with no hope, no fear
D Em
And the ground, taunts my wings
G D
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I sing
Em Am G B
Em Am G
[Verse 2]
B Em
All we are is an isle of flightless birds
Am G
We find our worth in giving birth and stuff
B
We're lining our homes against winding roads
And we think the going is tough
Em Am
We pick songs to sing, remind us of things that no body cares about
G B
And honestly we're probably more suicidal than ever now
Em Am G
If you decide to live by, what you think's wrong and what's right
B
Believe me you'll begin to wish you were sleeping
Em
Your weeping will creep in head and you'll cry
Am G
But if we wake up every morning and decide what we believe
B Em Am G B
We can take a part our very heart and the light will set us free
[Chorus]
C D Em
I am cold, can you hear
G B C
I will fly, with no hope, no fear
D Em
And the ground, taunts my wings
G D C
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I
[Bridge]
D Em
I am cold, can you hear
G D C
I will fly, with no hope, no fear
D Em
And the ground, taunts my wings
G D
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I
[Verse 3]
C
How frustrating, and so degrading
D
His time, we're wasting
Em
And time will fly by and the sky will cry as light is fading
And he is waiting, oh so patiently
G D
While we repeat the same routine as we will please comfortability
C
Please think about why you can't sleep in the evening
D
And please don't be afraid of what your soul is really thinking
Em
Your soul knows good and evil, your soul knows both sides
G D
And it's time you pick your battle, and I promise you this is mine
[Outro]
