Strum
D-DU-UDU
If  I could open my  arms
And  span the length of the  isle of Manhattan,
I'd  bring it to where you  are
Making  a lake of the East  River and Hudson
If  I could open my mouth
Wide  enough for a marching  band to march out
They  would make your name sing
And  bend through alleys and bounce  off all the buildings.
 I wish  we could open our  eyes
To  see in all directions  at the same time
Oh  what a beautiful  view
If  you were never aware of what  was around you
And  it is true what you said
That  I live like  a hermit in my own head
But  when the sun shines again
I'll  pull the curtains and  blinds to let the light in.
 x4)
Sorrow  drips into your heart  through a pinhole
Just  like a faucet that leaks  and there is comfort in the sound
But  while you debate half  empty or half full
It  slowly rises, your love is gonna drown
Your love  is gonna drown
 Your love is gonna...
 Soul Meets Body
I  want to live where soul  meets body
And  let the sun wrap its  arms around me
And  bathe my skin in water cool  and cleansing
 And feel,  feel what its like to be  new
 Cause in my head there’s a greyhound  station
Where  I send my thoughts to far  off destinations
 So they  may have a chance of finding  a place
 where they’re  far more suited than here
And  I cannot guess what we'll  discover
When  we turn the dirt with our palms  cupped like shovels
 But I know  our filthy hands can wash  one another’s
 And not  one speck will remain
 And I do  believe it’s  true
 That there are roads  left in  both of our  shoes
 But if the  silence takes  you
 Then I hope  it takes me too
 So brown  eyes I hold  you  near
 Cause you’re the only  song I want to  hear
 A melody  softly soaring through  my atmosphere
 Where soul  meets body
 Where soul  meets body
 Where soul  meets body
 And I do  believe it’s  true
 That there are roads  left in  both of our  shoes
 But if the  silence takes  you
 Then I hope  it takes me too
 So brown  eyes I hold  you  near
 Cause you’re the only  song I want to  hear
 A melody  softly soaring through  my atmosphere
 A melody  softly soaring through my atmosphere
 A melody  softly soaring through my atmosphere
 A melody  softly soaring through my atmosphere
 Summer Skin
Squeaky swings  and tall  grass
 The longest  shadows  ever  cast
 The water's  warm  and children  swim
 And we frolicked  about in our summer  skin
I  don't recall  a  single care
 Just greenery  and humid  air
 Then Labor day  came  and went
 And we shed  what was left  of our  summer skin
On  the night you  left I came  over
 And we peeled  the freckles  from our shoulders
 Our brand  new coats  so flushed  and pink
 And I knew  your heart  I couldn't  win
 Cause the seasons  change  was a conduit
 And we left  our love  in our  summer skin
 Different Names For The Same Thing"
Alone  on a train  aimless in  wonder
 An outdated  map crumbled  in my pocket
 But I didn't care  where I was  going
 'Cause they're all different  names for the  same place.
 The coast  disappeared  when the sea  drowned the sun
 And I knew no  words to share  with anyone
 The boundaries  of language  I quietly  cursed
 And all the different  names  for the same  things
 There are different  names  for the  same things
 There are different names for the same things...
 "I Will Follow You Into The Dark"
Love  of mine some day you  will die
 But I'll be  close behind
 I'll follow  you into the  dark
 No blinding  light or tunnels to gates  of white
 Just our hands clasped  so tight
 Waiting for  the hint of a  spark
 If Heaven  and Hell decide
 That they both  are satisfied
Illuminate  the NOs  on their vacancy  signs
 If there's  no one  beside you
 When your soul  embarks
 Then I'll  follow  you into the  dark
 In Catholic  school as vicious as  Roman rule
 I got my  knuckles bruised by a lady  in black
 And I held  my tongue as she told  me
 "Son fear is the  heart of love"
 So I never  went back
 If Heaven  and Hell decide
 That they both  are satisfied
Illuminate  the NOs  on their vacancy  signs
 If there's  no one  beside you
 When your soul  embarks
 Then I'll  follow  you into the  dark
You  and me have seen everything  to see
 From Bangkok to Calgary
 And the soles  of your shoes  are all  worn down
 The time for sleep  is now
 It's nothing to cry  about
 Cause we'll hold  each other soon
 The blackest  of rooms
 If Heaven  and Hell decide
 That they both  are satisfied
Illuminate  the NOs  on their vacancy  signs
 If there's  no one  beside you
 When your soul  embarks
 Then I'll  follow  you into the  dark
 Then I'll  follow  you into the  dark
 "Your Heart Is An Empty Room"
Burn  it down  till the embers  smoke on  the  ground
 And start new  when your heart  is an empty  room
 With walls  of the deepest  blue
Home's  face:  how it ages  when you're away
Spring  blooms  and you find  the love  that's  true
 But you don't  know what now  to do
 Cause the chase  is all  you know
 And she stopped  running months  ago
 And all you  see
 Is where  else you could be
 When you're  at home
 Out on the  street
 Are so many  possibilities
 To not  be alone
 The flames  and smoke  climbed  out of every  window
 And disappeared  with everything  that you  held dear
 And you shed  not a single  tear  for the things  that you  didn't  need
 'Cause you knew you  were finally  free
 'Cause all  you see  is where  else you could be  when you're  at home
 Out on the  street are so  many possibilities  to not  be alone
 And all  you see is where  else  you could be
 When you're  at home
 There on  the street  are so many  possibilities to  not be alone
 "Someday You Will Be Loved"
 I once  knew a girl
 In the years  of my youth
 With eyes  like the summer
 All beauty  and truth
 In the morning  I  fled
 Left a note  and it  read
Someday  you will  be loved.
 I cannot  pretend that I felt  any  regret
 Cause each  broken heart will  eventually  mend
 As the blood  runs red  down the needle  and thread
Someday  you will  be loved
 You'll be  loved you'll be  loved
 Like you  never have known
 The memories  of me
 Will seem more  like bad dreams
 Just a series  of  blurs
 Like I never  occurred
Someday  you will  be loved
 You may  feel alone when you're  falling asleep
 And everytime  tears  roll  down your cheeks
 But I know  your heart belongs  to  someone you've yet to meet
Someday  you will  be loved
 You'll be  loved you'll be  loved
 Like you  never have known
 The memories  of me
 Will seem more  like bad dreams
 Just a series  of  blurs
 Like I never  occurred
Someday  you will  be loved
 You'll be  loved you'll be  loved
 Like you  never have known
 The memories  of me
 Will seem more  like bad dreams
 Just a series  of  blurs
 Like I never  occurred
Someday  you will  be loved
Someday  you will  be loved
hmmm....
Cause  I built  you a home  in my heart,
 With rotten  wood,  it decayed  from the start.
 Cause you can't  find nothing at all,
 If there  was nothing there  all along.
 No you can't  find  nothing at all,
 If there  was nothing there  all along.
I  braved  treacherous  streets,
 And kids  strung out on homemade speed.
 And we shared  a bed  in which I could  not  sleep,
 At all,  woo,  hoo, woo, hooOoOo.
Cause  at night  the sun  in retreat,
 Made the skyline  look like  crooked  teeth,
 In the mouth  of a  man who was devouring,  us both.
You're  so cute  when you're slurring  your speech,
 But they're closing  the bar and they  want us  to leave.
 And you can't  find nothing  at all,
 If there  was nothing there  all along.
 No you can't  find nothing  at all,
 If there  was nothing there  all along.
I'm  a war, of head  versus heart,
 And it's  always this way.
 My head  is weak, my heart always  speaks,
 Before I  know what it  will say.
 And you can't  find nothing  at all,
 If there  was nothing there  all along.
 No you can't  find nothing  at all,
 If there  was nothing there  all along.
 And you can't  find nothing  at all,
 If there  was nothing there  all along.
 There were churches,  theme  parks and malls,
 But there was nothing  there  all along.
 "What Sarah Said"
 And it came  to me then that every  plan is a  tiny prayer to  father time
 As I stared  at my shoes in the ICU  that reeked  of piss and  409
 And I rationed  my breaths as I said  to myself that I'd already  taken too  much today
 As each descending  peak on the LCD  took you a little farther away  from me
Away  from me
 Amongst the vending  machines and year-old magazines  in a place  where we only say goodbye
 It stung like a violent  wind that our memories  depend on  a faulty camera  in our minds
 But I knew that you  were a truth I would  rather lose than to have  never lain  beside at all
 And I looked around  at all the eyes  on the ground as the  TV entertained  itself
 'Cause there's  no comfort in  the waiting room
 Just nervous  pacers bracing  for bad news
 And then the nurse  comes round and everyone  will lift their heads
 But I'm thinking  of what  Sarah said that  "Love is watching  someone die"
 So who's  going to watch  you die?..
 "Brothers On A Hotel Bed"
 
 
 
You  may tire of me as  our December  sun is setting  because I'm not who I used to be
 No longer  easy on the eyes but these  wrinkles masterfully  disguise
 The youthful boy  below who  turned your way and saw
 Something he was not  looking  for: both a beginning and an end
But  now he lives inside  someone he does  not recognize
 When he catches his reflection on  accident
On  the back of a motor bike
 With your arms outstretched  trying to take  flight
 Leaving everything behind
But  even at our swiftest  speed we couldn't break  from the concrete
 In the city where we still  reside.
And  I have learned  that even landlocked  lovers yearn  for the sea like navy men
Cause  now we say goodnight  from our own separate  sides
 Like brothers on a hotel  bed
 Like brothers on a hotel  bed
 Like brothers on a hotel  bed
 Like brothers on a hotel  bed
You  may tire of me as  our December  sun is setting  because I'm not who I used to be
 "Stable Song"
Time  for the final  bout
Rows  of deserted  houses
All  our stable  mates  highway bound
Give  us our measly  sum
Getting  the air inside  my  lungs is  heavenly
Starting  out  with  nothing but crippling doubt
We'll  rest  easy  justified
 Suffered a swift  defeat,  i'll endure  countless  repeats
 The gift  of memory is  an awful curse
 With age  it just  gets much worse,  but i  won't mind
I  won't mind
I  won't mind
I  won't mind

With eye[Gm]s like the [Bb]summer
All beau[C]ty and truth
In the m[Gm]orning I[Bb] fled
Left a n[Eb]ote and [Gm]it read
[Gm]Someday you will[Dm] be love[Gm]d.
I ca[Gm]nnot[Bb] pretend that I [Eb]felt any[Gm] regret

Like you[Eb] never have know[Gm]n
The memo[Gm]ries of me[Bb]

[F]hmmm....[Bb]   [C#]      [Ab]
[F5]Cause I [Em]built you a h[Eb]ome in my h[C]eart,
With rot[F5]ten w[Em]ood, it dec[Eb]ayed from the st[Bb]art.
Cause you can'[C#]t find nothing at [Ab]all,    [Eb]

No you c[C#]an't fin[Ab]d nothing at al[Eb]l,

[F] [Bb] [C#] [Ab]

[F]I br[Bb]aved tr[C#]eacherous str[Ab]eets,

And we s[F]hared a b[Bb]ed in which I c[C#]ould not[Ab] sleep,
At al[F]l, woo,[Bb] hoo, woo, h[C#]ooOoO[Ab]o.
[F]Cause at ni[Bb]ght the s[C#]un in [Ab]retreat,
Made the s[F]kyline[Bb] look like[C#] crooked[Ab] teeth,
In the m[F]outh of [Bb]a man who was de[C#]vour[Ab]ing, us both[F]. [Bb]    [C#]       [Ab]
[F5]You're so c[Em]ute when you're slu[Eb]rring your speech,[C]
But they're cl[F5]osing the bar and [Em]they want us[Bb] to leave.
And you ca[C#]n't find n[Ab]othing at [Eb]all,
If there[C#] was nothing t[Ab]here all along.  [Eb]
No you c[C#]an't find [Ab]nothing at [Eb]all,
If there[C#] was nothing t[Ab]here all along.  [Eb]
[Bb]I'm a war, of he[C]ad versus heart,
And it's[F] always this [Bb]way.
My hea[Bb]d is weak, my heart always[C] speaks,
Before I[F] know what it[Bb] will say.
[C#] [G] [Eb]

And you ca[C#]n't find n[Ab]othing at [Eb]all,
If there[C#] was nothing t[Ab]here all along.  [Eb]
No you c[C#]an't find [Ab]nothing at [Eb]all,
If there[C#] was nothing t[Ab]here all along.  [Eb]
And you ca[C#]n't find n[Ab]othing at [Eb]all,
If there[C#] was nothing t[Ab]here all along.  [Eb]
There were churc[C#]hes, the[Ab]me parks and mal[Eb]ls,
But there was no[C#]thing th[Ab]ere all [Eb]along.

"What Sarah Said"

[F] [G] [Am] [E] [F] [G] [Am] [E] [F] [G] [A] [E] [F] [G] [Am] [E]
And it c[F]ame to me then that ever[G]y plan is a[Am] tiny prayer [E]to father time
As I sta[F]red at my shoes in the I[G]CU that [Am]reeked of piss a[E]nd 409
And I ra[F]tioned my breaths as I s[G]aid to myself that I'd a[Am]lready taken too[E] much today
As each [F]descending peak on the L[G]CD took you a little far[Am]ther [E]away from me
[F]Away from me    [G]      [Am]         [E]

[F] [G] [Am] [E]
Amongst the vend[F]ing machines and year-old magazi[G]nes in a place[Am] where we only say goodbye[E]
It stung like a [F]violent wind that our me[G]mories depend on[Am] a faulty camera[E] in our minds
But I knew that [F]you were a truth I would[G] rather lose than to hav[Am]e never [E]lain beside at all
And I looked aro[F]und at all the e[G]yes on the ground as the[Am] TV ente[E]rtained itself
'Cause t[D]here's no comfort [C]in the waiting room   [Am]      [E]
Just ner[D]vous pacers brac[F]ing for bad [A]news   [E]
And then the nur[D]se comes round and every[C]one will lift their [A]head[E]s
But I'm [D]thinking of what[F] Sarah said that[A] "Love is watchi[F]ng someone die" [C]
[F] [C] [F] [G] [C]
So who's[F] going to wa[G]tch you die?[C].. [E]   [F]

[Ab]You may tire of me [Cm]as our Decemb[Eb]er sun is settin[Ab]g because I'm not who I used to be
No long[Ab]er easy on the eyes but t[Cm]hese wrinkles masterfull[Eb]y disguis[Ab]e
The youthful boy[Bb] below w[Ab]ho turned your way and s[Cm]aw
Something he was not[Eb] loo[Ab]king for: both a beginning and an end
[Ab]But now he lives ins[Cm]ide someone he do[Eb]es not reco[Ab]gnize
When he catches his reflection o[Bb]n accident              [G]
[Ab] [Cm] [Eb] [Ab]

[Ab]On the back of a motor b[Cm]ike
With your arms o[Eb]utstretched trying to take[Ab] flight

Leaving everything behind
[Ab]But even at our swiftest[Cm] speed we couldn't b[Eb]reak from the concre[Ab]te
In the city where we sti[Bb]ll reside.
[Ab]And I have learn[Cm]ed that even lan[Eb]dlocked lovers y[Ab]earn for the sea like navy men
[Ab]Cause now we say goodnig[Cm]ht from our own [Eb]separate sides  [Ab]
Like brothers on a hotel[Bb] bed    [Eb]
Like brothers on a hotel[Eb] bed
Like brothers on a hotel[Eb] bed
Like brothers on a hotel[Eb] bed[Bb]

Suffered a sw[C]ift[Am] defea[C]t, i'll en[C]dure countles[Am]s repeats
