Love Is A Country 
Tom: C
Intro:  C7m - C   F7Madd11+ - F7M
C                              B#m    Am
No, there won't be an ambush anytime soon
                                 G               F                
If the birds are returning, it's safe enough to say that much is true
In the desert that borders between me and you
Where more than a few good men have failed to come back or get through
F                           G                       Am
And the only things living around here don't wanna talk
         F                          G                Am
And the wine isn't working and the vacancy signs are off
     F                            G          C
The hardships of marching they've only just begun
F                   G                        C
Love is a country better crossed when you're young
I'm staring in the window of a moving train
That looks almost human as she barrels down the tracks and comes my way
This no good dog of mine's got the heart of a stray
And is down in the ditch lights before I've even a chance to call his name
I'm watching the clouds overwhelming the evening sun
It's just after lightning and before the thunder comes
When nothing really happens and suddenly then it does
Love is a country better served with someone
I remember the evening you last came home
It was warm as the devil sat back up with his boots put back on
He said you never get boring, you keep me young
There's more work than ever and still only one of me to get it done
Now her ring's on the seat riding shotgun next to my hat
With her name on the window where fog settles down on the glass
Nowhere in the middle of somewhere that has no past
Love is a country you leave and not welcome back
You leave and not welcome back
Closer To You 
Tom: G
Intro: Em  C  D  G

G          Em          C
How soft a whisper can get
D            G
When your're walking through a
Em      C 
Crowded space
D       G    Em         C  
I hear every word being said
D       G           Em   C
And I remember that everyday
D                  G         Em  C  D  G
I get a little bit closer to you
Em  C  D  G
you
G           Em       C
How long an hour can take
D             G          Em
When you're staring into open
C
space
D               G        Em   
When I feel I'm slipping further 
C
away
D          G    Em    C

I get a little bit closer to you
Em  C  D  G
you
Bridge: C C D D (x2)
Em            C
These are the days
D                G
That I won't get back
Em              C
I won't hear you cry
D           G 
Or hear you laugh
Em            C
And when it's quiet
D                  G
And i don't hear a thing
Em    C      D          G
I can always hear you breathe
(You know there's nowhere else) * This part comes in during the G chord, 
and the previous line "...you breathe"
Em             C
I've wanted to be
D              G       Em     C 
Than be there when you needed me
D
I'm sorry too
G              Em    C
But don't give up on me
D           G               Em
And just remember that when you
      C
Were asleep
D                  G         Em  C  D  G
I got a little bit closer to you
Em  C  D  G
you     
One Headlight 
Tom: Fmaj7 
Fmaj7               C        
So long ago I don't remember when
       E            E7                Am   G
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Fmaj7                        C
They said she died easy of a broken heart disease
      E                  E7          Am  G 
As I listened through the cemetary trees
Fmaj7                           C
I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn
    E           E7           Am    G
the long broken arm of human law
Fmaj7                             C
It always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face
  E                                Am  G
I wondered why she hung around this place
Fmaj7         E  E7
              Hey hey hey...
Fmaj7                C
Come on try a little nothing is forever
Dm                          G
There's got to be something better than in the middle
Fmaj7              C
Me and Cinderella put it all together
Dm                   G
We can drive it home ... with one headlight.

She said its cold it feels like independence day 
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
I seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge 
saying all is good and nothingness is dead
Runnin' till she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothing left
She hit the end its just her window ledge
This place is old feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn
it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
now i sit alone I feel just like somebody else
Man I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between
These city walls of dying dreams
I think her death it must be killing me

Now coming down out of this swandive to your arms

Bm        A             G         A        D
think you were the only one who's been let down?
Bm    A            G           D
Sleep tight little boys of the new damned
Bm      A           G             D       Em   F#  
Another drop in the tidal wave of quicksand

Bridge:
    G       D    Em       D
Now another bad idea gets through
G        D        Em      A
Down the assembly line to you
Bm
You're every bride I should have burned
Bm
Every lesson I've unleared
Verse 3:
Bm          A            G       D
Now in this smoke filled waiting room with
Bm      A    G        D
Incarcerated lovesick fools I will
Em              F#
Wait for you to cut me loose
But till then

Everybody Out Of The Water 
Tom: F#
F#
On your mark get set let’s go
You got to move now before she explodes
Look out the window, lookout below
Back away from the glass, There she blows
The city’s been leveled, The hills are in flames
The streets cracked open and they’re pushing up clay
The temperature’s dropped, The Sky is gray
And it ain’t even over, here comes driving rain
F#              D             C#
  It ain’t me     that you feel    There’s something moving around in here
F#             D             C#
  That’s blood  That’s tears   This ain’t a warning now everybody out of the 
A                     E                     D*
Water   and up on dry land    Take what you can
                   B
Cause you won’t be here again    Everybody out of the water
F#
Now I’m treading high water to get back to you
Been looking for a little spot or something to cling to
There’s too many bodies there’s not enough room
God help me and God help you   They say nobody panic
Help is on it’s way, We’re already on it
You’ve got to be brave if you can fix it now
Then don’t make us wait, man there ain’t nobody coming
Back away from the gates
F#           D             C#
  That bell   That you hear  That’s Hell ringing in your ears
F#        D             C#
  I fear   that my dear   This ain’t a warning now everybody out of the
A                      E                      D*
water    and up on dry land     Take what you can
                   B                             A
Cause you won’t be here again    now I loved you then
                E                         D*
Like I love you now     That won't matter anyhow
            B
This is the new frontier    Everybody out of the water
F#
Now I’m looking up and the shit keeps coming   Like shooting ducks
In a barrel of honey  Got to learn how to pray  Love won’t be enough
Admit it now  Your information sucks
F#           D             C#    
As I slip     Down in    I think of us someplace high on a mountain
F#            D                C#
Smoke clears    The fog lifts    Little by little   We rebuild again
But till’ then, everybody out of the. . .
A                      E                      D*
water    and up on dry land     Take what you can
                   B                             A
Cause you won’t be here again    now I loved you then

As if it wasn't hard enough
Bm
I'm so tired of waking up
A       Bm
Feelin' bad

You haven't been 
             A       D

You wanna make it so much harder
D/F#            G
Now in another world
          D        A
I could learn to forget
D/F#               G
But 'til then I'm here

Making room for new regrets
          Bm            A     G    D/F#
Now some flowers they never bloom
           Em                A
But some flowers just bloom dead
The way you make me feel
I could collapse
An epidemic I cannot outlast
How could you feel used
When I feel trapped?
As if it wasn't hard enough
And just as my conscience
Starts to clear
I drag the river and you're still there
The way I bring you down
Could not compare
As if it wasn't hard enough
You wanna make it so much harder
Now in another world
I could learn to forget
But 'til then I'm here
Making room for new regrets
Now some flowers they never bloom
But some flowers just bloom dead
Now some flowers they never bloom
And some flowers just bloom dead
Bridge : Em A
(Jakob throws a G in on this verse)
Bm          G
The way I sleep
             A         Bm
This bed just can't be made
Bm                     A        D
I pull the covers up around my head
Now when I think of me
I think of somebody else instead
As if it wasn't hard enough
You're gonna make it so much harder
Now in another world
I could learn to forget
But 'til then I'm here
Making room for new regrets
Now some flowers they never bloom
And some flowers just bloom dead
Now some flowers they never bloom
And some flowers they just bloom dead

New shepherd roaming through the tall grass 
A new temple rising through the falling ash 
That buries the tracks 
Of millions of boots marching in packs 
Clearwater rolling through the dam's collapse 
Out to the harbor where they're sailing back 
New flag on the mast 
Without any secrets, without any past 
All things are new again 
Within and without 
Sooner or later the ending begins 
Just then it can be said that all things are new again 
A                          F#
New ghost returning to the earth beneath the haze

New poets burning through the lines of every page 
D          C#        E
I'm an unpainted portrait
D          C#          E
I am staring at a new sunset 
               C#
Without any memories yet 
All things are new again 
Within and without 
Sooner or later the ending begins 
Just then it can be said that all things are new again 
Within and without 
Sooner or later every season ends 
Then forever it can be said that all things are new again
Days Of Wonder 
Tom: G
Intro:G

Verse:
G 
Cherry picking through the stars
    Em 
And falling cannonballs
Am
Waiting for the break of dawn
   C                       G 
To start its morning crawl
G
Polluted rays of filtered light
Em
Tropical and warm
Am
Making shadows through
               C             D
The snow white resin covered skulls
      C        D        Em   D
Happy birthday... to the war...
Chorus:
         C
Standing by the wall
  Am
A rainbow made of stars
      Dm
Under seven different shades of grey
          F 
Spreading out across the arc
        C  
Days of wonder spent
Am
Out there killing time
         Dm
Now this may not leave a mark on me
      F
But I sure as hell was there

 

The Passenger

Permission now to let this thing land
   F#                       B
I'm too far gone to know where I am

Conditions are worse than we planned

Permission now to let this thing land
 B                         E
Heading straight into the blackness
 B                          E
Beyond the point of ever turning back
  B                            E
Slipping off the radar through a hole in space
 F#                           B
Goes the passenger sitting backwards
Adam took the apple
I was not involved
I'm not responsible for how lost we are
Batten down the hatches, extinction calls
But Adam took the apple
I was not involved
Heading straight into the blackness
Way beyond the point of ever turning back
Slipping off the radar through a hole in space
Goes the passenger sitting backwards
F#          
Maybe a rumble
B
Maybe nothing more
F#
Maybe a thunder
B
There before she blows
(I can't figure this out right now...I will later)
Maybe not a big bang
But just a little white noise
Key Change : D G A D
then it changes back
B                          E
Into the furnace of red twilight
F#                             B
Threading like a needle through searchlights
Fading further and spinning right
Into the furnace of red twilight
Heading straight into the blackness
Too far gone, now there's no turning back
Slipping off the radar into a hole in space
Goes the passenger sitting backwards
I Am A Building 
Tom: Bm
Bm               G
I'm here by my window
D                    A
I am waiting for your parade
Bm            G
I will salute you
D                           A
From above the crowd as you make your way
D
You won the battle
D7
You've won the war
D6
I admit it now
Dsus            D     G
I could not give any more
                   Em
My condition is your reward
             G
I am a building
A             Bm
Here without doors
The altitude is now
Getting to me
As they applaud you
On the boulevard
The whole valley looks like
Someone's body
All the people look like
Little scars
This day is taking
Forever
I will never say
Never say never again
The flesh around me
Is only pretend
              G
Return to sender
         A
Every letter
         Bm
That is yours
     Em
I am sure
                G
That I am a building
A            Bm
Here without doors
Fire blazing
On the overpass
Cattle grazing
In fields of dead grass
Last summer was earthquake weather
By November
This too should have passed
I am not moving
I am landlocked
I am looking through
A thousand windows spread across
A thousand floors
There in a landfill
Where Eden was before
But not anymore
I am a building
Here without doors
D                                   G
Did you see me waving to you from above
Things are looking clear now
D                                                G
My eyes are wide enough to see the way a sniper does
Behind the barrel of a good gun
the uh huh's use the same chords aa verse
For worse or better
I surrender
It may not matter
But I'm sadder than you'll ever know
I am your inferno
Here all in yellow
With embers blowing north
No sense in returning
I'm not worried anymore
I am a building
That is here without doors
I am a building
That is here without doors
Back to California 
Tom: Em
Em B C G
(I think the whole verse is Em)
Feels like a ghost here in this room
Not the kind that rides a saddle in a costume
All around me, all around you
In from the window for a drag of your perfume
Em     B    C         G
Let's move back to California
Em                B         C             G   
Let's make a promise, baby Let's both be there
Em        B          C      G
Put our feet deep in the sands
Am
This garden's only got four corners
C                         D
Back to your trenches, back to California
Em
The days keep coming and the years overlap
Been crawling all over each other like wet cats
I hear the rebels yelling out in the dunes
And I don't think it's half as funny as I used to
Let's move back to California
Let's make a promise, baby
Let's both be there
Put our feet deep in the sands
Let's leave behind these maps and handguns
We're on our way back to California
  G                       C
We've got California in our eyes
Come on and catch us if you can
 G                      C
With California in our eyes
Passing down through a valley of lost sheep
Straight is the gate, narrow is the walkway
Mercury rising and poppies in bloom
This is the kind of thing that I can get used to
Let's move back to California
Let's make a promise, baby
Let's both be there
Put our feet deep in the sands
There's still no shortage in creating bad blood
We're on our way back to California
 G                c
We've got California in our eyes
Come on and catch us if you can
 G                C
With California in our eyes
Fast as we can
 G           C
Back to California
Come on and catch us if you can
 G          C
Back to California
Fast as we can
 G          C
Back to California

You pass in silence in the morning

Broke your last bottle of wine

Beautiful Side Of Somewhere

tomorrow is gonna make you cry

it's gonna to make you kneel
              Cm
before it breaks you from inside
 G              Bm
still pressing on
         Em
arm over arm
                              Cm
still trying to get both feet back onto the ground
         C                    
they are harvesting these fields in autumn.
           G                D
we're different now than when we started
  G                Em
I am ready to wake up
               Am
there in the exodus
                         Dsus - D - Dsus2 - D     
on the beautiful side of somewhere baby
Dsus - D - Dsus2 - D
(Same as first verse)
there on the pavement
underneath the yellow moon
i think of you
and just how easily we bruise
the folded address in my pocket i have stuffed
trying to believe for you
that the bottom didn't drop
I am on the platform
covered with dust
I pray they take the both of us
I am ready to wake up
there in the exodus
on the beautiful side of somewhere baby
I am ready to come down
to see us both somehow
on the beautiful side of somewhere someday
Dsus - D- Dsus2 - D
Somewhere  Someday
  G               
I am lighting matches for the rescue
         Bm
some are candles some are fuses
  Em
acting on my best behavior
 Cm
switching over every breaker
         C 
as we're plowing through these laws of nature
  G              D
disregarding every acre
  C
I'm lying in my sunday best
  G                D
assuming this was not a test
I am ready to wake up
there in the exodus
on the beautiful side of somewhere baby
I am ready to come down
to see us both somehow
on the beautiful side of somewhere someday

Were Already There 
Tom: C
C        G
Quarter Moon,
      B7           Em
On a city growing thick
C           G                 B7
With good advice that won't stick.
          Em                 D
From the ballrooms to the suburbs,
    C
abandoned mines
    C
Atlantis may be rising but
      B7
We're all out of time.
  C           G
The colored lights
   B7          Em
On the fire escape,
     C          G        B7
And bodies move behind drapes,
  Em           D
And the light isn't even
  C
And we're safer in pairs.
  C
We're no match, for what is waiting
     B7
For each of us out there.
    G            Cm
Whistle baby, while we walk.
       G              Cm
Don't say anything, do not talk.
  C             G         Am         G
The journey is over, it is time to exhale.
 C        G                 D
Wherever we were going, we're already there.
So over the turnstyles,
Through the guard rails
And into Washington Square.
'Cause no amount of nightmares,
Will ever compare
To the thought of only silence
In this ghost-filled air.
Whistle baby, while we walk.
Don't say anything, do not talk.
The journey is over, it's too late to prepare.
Why can't you see that baby, we're already there.
Here comes your silhouette,
More pillow talk.
Here comes the ticking of these clocks.
They say the quickest way to end
A war is just to lose.
Another chamber locks
And I already withdrew.
Here comes the booming,
In the hunger of each night.
Here comes the burden of might.
Now this day was not divinely
Made to leave you impressed.
We may become someone someday
But we haven't yet.
Whistle baby, while we walk.
Don't say anything, do not talk.
The journey is over, it is time to repair.
Whatever we were building..... baby We're Already There.
.....We're Already There.
.....We're Already There.
.....We're Already There.

 

Here He Comes Confessions Of A Drunken Marionette

Here comes your drunken marionette
G...............A................... D
Dragging his mess of threads
G...................A..................D.....................G
There at the bar pulling smoke to his lungs
G ....................A .................................. D
He says who will ignore me when you're gone?
Now come on lift me up
I wanna dance by your tin cup
Tower of beauty with a split in your tongue
Who will ignore me when you're gone?
He says who will ignore me when you're gone?

Be still the wooden heart

That wouldnt ever part
................................... G...A..D
With the drunken marionette
Been mainlining bad thoughts
Been drinking things I wish I'd not
Intoxicated with sad songs
Who will forgive you when I'm gone?
They sing auld lang syne
I've got mutiny on my mind
A guilty conscience means at least you've got one
Who will forgive you when I'm gone?
He says who will forgive you when I'm gone?
Here he comes
Here he comes
Be still the wooden heart
Who wouldn't ever part
Waiting on a spark
That hasn't happened yet
For the drunken marionette

Turn the lights on when you go

I hope you feel the things that i know I won't
What you give is what you get
I get so worried bout your debts
Who carries evil out evil will come
Who will defend you when i'm gone?
He says who will defend you when i'm gone?
Here he comes
Here he comes
Be still the wooden heart
Wouldn't ever part
Waiting on a spark
That hasn't happened yet
Here he comes
Here he comes
Be still the wooden heart
That wouldn't ever part
Waiting on a spark
That hasn't happened yet
For the drunken marionette

The guards shot above our heads
        D                             G
And we kissed as though nothing could fall
       C                      D
And the Seine was on the other side

We can beat them forever and ever

We can be Heroes just for one day

You stood by me, just like playing games.

Verse 4:
                F                           C  
Looked out the window, and got up on that street.
               Bb7                Bb
And gone like midnight, was that wind.
                   F                             C
But I sit here with 6-strings, leane against that wall.
                Bb7                    Bb
And all those things, they all look so small.
                  F                      C
I got my fingers crossed, on a shooting star.

Just like me, just moved on back home.

Honey, on the shed on the open tree

Didn~t I meet you once in a liquor store
                  F              Em    Am
I think I saw you hanging by the stage door
            F               Em         Am
Handing out programs to the family theater
            F           Em             Am
Deprive the row, so you don~t miss her or treat her

Ashes to, ashes and six feet under faced down in a box

In their flames, sailed up to the moon
D                            G

Went to the top just to bud everyone
D                                                    G
Wanted to win, tie yourself with a string, and steal everything
            D                          G
You took em skin on skin, laid em down in the rain
     D             Daug
So I swear we~re a pair
     D6               G

D   G   D   G   D   G   D   G

   D                               G
Or in their sleep, we~re all inside every dream
          D         Daug
So if you trying to break me
  D6                 G
C~mon, why don~t you shake me

Woooaahhh...  Heeyyyy.....
         Bm riff
Well she sang out of tune when she shot down the moon
     G
As I saw my arteries down on dividers
          Bm riff
And I was here at the Hoot, between the cup and the loot
     G
As I strut down under the lightening love
       Bm riff
As she cut all the strings that I tied to her wings
        G             D
Leaving me...  in the dark
F#m            Bm
Still just be apart
        A               G
And she never see me at all
A   Aaug

One Headlight
Toom: G
G                       D   
So long ago I don't remember when 
        F#                            Bm
THat's when they say I lost my only friend
           G                         D
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
      F#                          Bm
As I listen through the cemetary trees
         G                          D
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
    F#                      Bm
of long broken arm of human law
         G                           D
Now it always seem such a way she always had a pretty face
       F#                             Bm    G  
I wondered when she hung around this place
F#
Hey, hey, heeehy...
Chorus

 G
Come on try a little
D
Nothin' is forever
Em                          A       
There's gotta be somethin' better than in the middle
G                 D     
Me an Cinderella, put it all together
Em
We can drive it home
A                G D Em A G 
With one headlight

----------------
She said it's cold, it feels like independence day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen this sign up ahead at the county line bridge
Saying all is good and nothingness is dead
Run until she's out of breath, she ran until there's nothing left
She hit the end, it's just her window ledge
Repeat Chorus
Well this place is old, it feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheaper wine, cigarettes, this place is always such 
a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
So old, I feel just like somebody else
Man I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between these seedy walls of dying dreams 
I think her death, it must be killing me
Repeat Chorus  Hey, hey, hey...
