 I'll cross  my heart  and hope  to die
 before  I have  the chance  to lie
 to you  my dear I  wish no harm
 but I know  in the end  this will turn  out wrong
 see I've  been known  to fall  in love
 but sometimes love just  is not enough
 and my  heart will stray  before  too long
 so please forgive  me when  I sing
 this  song
oooooo ooo

 The Death of Me
 Chords used:
 Do  I have nothing good  left to say
 Do I need whiskey to start  fueling my complaints
 People love to drink their  troubles away
 Sometimes I feel that I’d be better  off that way
Cause  maybe then I could sleep  at night
 I wouldn’t lie awake until  the morning light
 This is something that I’ll  never control
 My nerves will be the death of me  I know
I  know
I  know
So  here’s to living life miserable
 And here’s to all the lonely stories  that I’ve told
 Maybe drinking wine would validate  my sorrow
 Every man needs a muse and mine  could be the bottle
Maybe  then I could  sleep at night
 I wouldn’t lie awake until  the morning light
 This is something that I’ll never  control
 My nerves will be the death of me  I know
Finally  I could hope  for a better  day
No  longer holding on to all  the things that cloud my  mind
Maybe  then the weight  of the world wouldn’t  seem so heavy
 But then again  I’ll probably always  feel this way
 At least I know I’ll never sleep  at night
 I’ll always lie awake until  the morning light
 This is something that I’ll  never control
 My nerves will be the death of me
 My nerves will be the death of me
 My nerves will be the death of me
I  know

There's  a funeral procession  on the highway,
Traffic screeches  to a halt.
There's  people searching  for a better  way,
 To live their lives.
Johnny lived a  good life, you'll hear  them say
As  tears of sadness  soak the ground.
The  reaper crept in,  took his breath  away,
 In the middle of the night.
 ]
We  celebrate the lives of the dead,
 It's like a man's best party,  only happens when he dies.
We  gather 'round to pay our respects,
 While their souls  are still searching for the light,
  (BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)
 Searching for the light.
So  please don't come  to  me on my dying  day,
Just  let me  go in  peace.
With  all the things  that I forgot  to say,
 Still racing through my  mind.
And  don't you  bury  me six feet under  ground,
Just  burn my  body  in a box.
And  let my ashes blow  with the wind,
 Out into the night....  sky.
We  celebrate the lives of the dead,
 It's like a man's best party,  only happens when he dies.
We  gather 'round to pay our respects,
 While their souls  are still searching for the light,
  (BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)
 Searching for the light.
 Sleeping Sickness
 I awoke
 Only  to find my lungs  empty
 And  through the night
 So it  seems I'm not breathing
 And now  my dreams are nothing  like they were  meant to be
 And I'm  breaking down, I think  I'm breaking  down
 And I'm  afraid
 To sleep  because of  what haunts me
 Such as  living with the uncertainty
 That I'll  never find  the words to say
 Which  would completely  explain
 Just  how I'm breaking  down
 Someone  come and, someone come  and save my  life
 Maybe  I'll sleep when  I am dead
 But now  it's like the night  is taking sides
 With  all the worries that  occupy the back of  my mind
 Could  it be this misery  will suffice?
 I've become
 A simple souvenir  of someone's  kill
 And like  the sea
 I'm constantly  changing  from calm to ill
 Madness  fills my heart and soul  as if the great divide  could swallow me whole
 oh, how  I'm breaking down
 oooohhh my life
 Someone  come and, someone come  and save my  life (save my life)
 Someone  come and, someone come  and save my  life (save my life)
 Someone  come and, someone come  and save my  life
 Could  it be this  misery will  suffice?
 What Makes A Man
 (,,)
I  can hear my train a comin'
Its  a lonesome and distant cry
I  can hear my train a comin'
Now  I'm running for my life
What  makes a man walk away  from his mind?
I  think I know
 I think I might  know
I  can feel the wind blowing
Sending  shivers down my spine
I  can feel the wind blowing
Shakes  the trees and the power lines
What  makes a man spend his  whole life in disguise?
I  think I know
 I think I might  know
What  makes a man? (I think  I know)
What  makes a man? (I think  I know)
What  makes a man?
 Oh oh  oh
 Repeat chords
 I can see the sun setting
 Its casting shadows on the sea
 I can see the sun setting
 Its getting colder starting to freeze
 What makes a man want to break a heart with ease
 I think I know
 I think I might know
 What makes a man? (I think I know)
 What makes a man? (I think I know)
 What makes a man?
 I can hear my train a comin'
 Looks like time is on my side
 I can hear my train a comin'
 I'm still running for my life
 What makes a man pray when he's about to die?
 I think I know
 I think I might know

 A coma might feel better than this,
 attempting to discover where to begin.
You're  weighed down, you're full of something.
 Of sickness,  and desertion.
You're  weighed down, you're full of something,
 you're underneath it all.
 So say goodbye to love,
 and hold your head  up high.
 There's no need to rush
 we're all just waiting,  waiting to die.
 (Slide the Em11 down to Cmaj7, listen to the track to get the timing)
 Hoping a better place is all I need,
 with moments of innocence and mystery.
Oh,  it's  the little things you miss.
 Like waking  up all alone.
Oh,  it's  the little things you miss,
 when you're underneath it all.
 So say goodbye to love,
 and hold your head  up high.
 There's no need to rush
 we're all just waiting,  waiting to die.
 All your friends seem like enemies
 when you're broken down and empty.  Oooh.
 All your friends seem like enemies

How  much would you bet?
That  if i tried hard enough.
 I would spontane-ously  combust.
I  wish I could disappear,
and  run away from all  of my fears,
 I think I'm coming undone...
Ba  ba da da, ba ba,  ba da da dah.
So  stay the night,
I  promise, that I won't bite.
 'Cause without you there
I  don't think that I, could close my eyes.
How  do I end up this way?
A  constant knot in my gut.
 Tied with uncertain-ty,  and with lust.
A  classic case I suppose.
A  haunted man who can't  outrun his ghosts.
They're  in my skin and my bones.
So  stay the night,
I  promise, that I won't bite.
 'Cause without you there
I  don't think that I, could close my eyes.
 (same as verse)
 Now I sing.
Ba  ba da da, ba ba,  ba da, da dah,  ba ba da da, dah  etc
 Against the Grain
you  need not to climb mountaintops
   etc.
 you need not to cross the sea
 you need not to find a cure
 for everything that makes you weak
 you need not to reach for the stars
 when life becomes so dark
and  when the wind does blow  against the grain
you  must follow your heart
 etc.
 you must follow your heart
 and all your friends
 have come and gone
 and the sun no longer shines
 and the happiness for which you long
 is washed away like an ocean's tide
 when all the hard times outweigh the good
 and all your words are misunderstood
 when the day seems lost from the start
 you must follow your heart
 you must follow your heart
 if you feel you've paid the price
 and your wounds should cease to heal
 and everything you love in life
 spins like a winding wheel
 if you should wake to find you're abandoned
 and the road you travel leads to a dead end
 when death creeps in to play its part
 you must follow your heart
 you must follow your heart
 The Girl
 I wish I could do better by you 'cause that's what you deserve,
 You sacrifice so much of your life in order for this to work.
 While I'm out chasin' my own dreams,
Sailin'  around the world,
 Please know  that I'm yours to keep,  my beautiful girl.
 When you cry, a piece of my heart dies, knowing I may have been the cause
 If you were to leave, fulfill someone else's dreams, I think I might totally
 be lost.
 You don't ask for no diamond rings,
No  delicate string of pearls,
That's  why I wrote this song to sing,  my beautiful girl.

I  get so  distracted
By  some peoples  reactions
That  I don't see  my own  faults
 For what they are
 For what they are
At  times so self  destructive
With  no intent  or motive
But  behind  this emotion,
 There lies a sensible heart
 A sensible heart
See  I'm no king
 I wear  no crown
But  desperate times
 Seem over  now
But  still I weaken somehow
 It tears me apart
 It tears me apart
I  hope to learn  as time  goes by
That  I should trust  what's deep  inside
Burning bright,  oh burning  bright
 My sensible heart
 My sensible heart
 My sensible heart
 My sensible heart
 As Much as I Ever Could
 ooooooooooooooo
Love  of mine,
 Won't you lay  by my side
 And rest your weary  eyes
 Before we're out of time
 Give me one last  kiss
 For soon,  such distance
 Will stretch between  our lips
 Now the day's losing light
oooooooooooooooo
Bring  me your love,  tonight
Bring  me your love,  tonight
Lost  at sea
 My heart beat is growing  weak
 Hoping you'd hear  my plea
 And come save my life
 As the storm  grew fierce
 An angel was certainly  near
 I knew there was nothing  to fear
Bring  me your love,  tonight
Bring  me your love,  tonight
No  I am not  where I belong
Bring  me your love, tonight
No  I am not  where I belong
So  shine a light  and guide me home
No  I am not  where I belong
So  shine a light,  guide me back home
ooooooooooooooooo

[Cmaj7]      [Am9]   A coma might feel better than [G6]thi[F#11b9]s,
[Cmaj7]      [Am9] attempting to discover where to begi[G6]n. [F#11b9]
[Cmaj7]You're[Am9] weighed down, you're full of something.
Of sic[G6]kne[F#11b9]ss, and desertion.
[Cmaj7]You're[Am9] weighed down, you're full of something,
you're underneath it [G6]all[F#11b9].

[Em]  So say goodbye to l[G6]ove,
and hold your [Em11]head up [Cmaj7]high.
[Em]  There's no need to [G6]rush
we're all just [Em11]waiting, waiting to [Cmaj7]die.

(Slide the Em11 down to Cmaj7, listen to the track to get the timing)

[Cmaj7]      [Am9]   Hoping a better place is all I [G6]nee[F#11b9]d,
[Cmaj7]      [Am9]   with moments of innocence and myste[G6]ry.[F#11b9]
[Cmaj7]Oh, it[Am9]'s the little things you miss.
Like wak[G6]ing[F#11b9] up all alone.
[Cmaj7]Oh, it[Am9]'s the little things you miss,
when you're underneath it [G6]all.

[Em]  So say goodbye to [G6]love,
and hold your [Em11]head up [Cmaj7]high.
[Em]  There's no need to [G6]rush
we're all just [Em11]waiting, waiting to [Cmaj7]die.

[Em11]    All your friends seem like [Cmaj7]enemies
when you're broken down and e[Em]mpty. Oo[G6]oh.
[Em11]    All your friends seem like [Cmaj7]enemies
when you're broken down and em[Em]pty. Oo[G6]oh.

[Em]  So say goodbye to l[G6]ove,
              Em11(let ring) [Cmaj7](let ring
and hold your head           up high.
[Em]  There's no need to [G6]rush
we're all just [Em11]waiting, waiting to [Cmaj7]die.

Against the Grain

[C/G]you need not to climb [Am]mountaintops
         [G]                [Fmaj7]  etc.
you need not to cross the sea
you need not to find a cure
for everything that makes you weak
you need not to reach for the stars
when life becomes so dark

[C/G]and when the wind does [Am]blow against the grain
[G]you must follow your [Fmaj7]heart
[G]                    [C/G]  etc.
you must follow your heart

and all your friends
have come and gone
and the sun no longer shines
and the happiness for which you long
is washed away like an ocean's tide
when all the hard times outweigh the good
and all your words are misunderstood
when the day seems lost from the start
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

if you feel you've paid the price
and your wounds should cease to heal
and everything you love in life
spins like a winding wheel
if you should wake to find you're abandoned
and the road you travel leads to a dead end
when death creeps in to play its part
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

The Girl

I wish I could do better by you 'cause that's what you deserve,
[G]                [G/f#] [Em]              [C]         [D]       [G]
You sacrifice so much of your life in order for this to work.

[G]                                  [G/f#]
While I'm out chasin' my own dreams,
[Em]Sailin' around the world,
Please [C]know that I'm yours to [D]keep, my beautiful [G]girl.

[G]                        [G/f#] [Em]        [C]         [D]                 [G]
When you cry, a piece of my heart dies, knowing I may have been the cause
[G]                    [G/f#] [Em]                        [C]               [D]
If you were to leave, fulfill someone else's dreams, I think I might totally
be [G]lost.

[G]                               [G/f#]
You don't ask for no diamond rings,
[Em]No delicate string of pearls,
[C]That's why I wrote this song to [D]sing, my beautiful [G]girl.

[Am]Love of mine,
Won't you [Em]lay by my side
And rest your [F]weary eyes
Before we're out of [E]time
Give me one [Am]last kiss
For [Em]soon, such distance

Now the day's losing [E]light

[Am]Lost at sea
My heart beat is [Em]growing weak
Hoping you'd [F]hear my plea
And come save my [E]life
As the [Am]storm grew fierce
An angel was [Em]certainly near
I knew there was [F]nothing to fear

[C]Bring me your [G]love, to[F]night
[C]Bring me your [G]love, to[F]night
[C]No I am [G]not where I [F]belong
[C]Bring me your [G]love, [F]tonight

[C]No I am [G]not where I [F]belong
[C]So shine a [G]light and guide me [F]home
[C]No I am [G]not where I [F]belong
