 When I'm done with thinking,
 then I'm done with you.
 
 When I'm done with crying,
 then I'm done with you.
 
 When I feel so tired,
 then I'm done with you.
 
 You know everybody feels this way some times
Everybody  feels this way
 And I do
 You can hear  it but I do.
 You can hear  it but I do.
 You're trying to convince me
 that what i've done's not right.
 
 And I get so frustrated
 I stay up every night.
 
 You ask me for an answer
 I'm so tired and up  in the air
 up in the air
 
 You know everybody feels this way some time
Everybody  feels this way
 And I do
 You can hear it  but I do.
 You can hear it  but I'm feeling  this way
just  because you say
I  will be ignored
 
 And I be denied
 And I  could be erased
 I could be,  brushed aside.
I  will get scared,
 and I  will get shoved down.
 But I  feel like I do
 because you push  me around.
 
 I'm starting to ignore you
 You know I doubted you so long.
 
 I'm tired of over thinking
 I know you don't belong.
 
 And Now i'm asking questions
 No one pushes me around.
 Everybody feels this way somtimes
Everybody  feels this way
 And I do
 You can hear  but I do.
 You don't seem angry  but I do.
 I do.
 I do.
 I do.
 You don't seem angry  but I  do.
 You can hear  it, but  I do...

 Falling in Love
 
  She  wanted to be a cowboy
  She was shootin'em  down
  She was trampin'  around
  He  walked in crooked with the clear blue eyes  mmm hmmm
  "There's  a nice pool in my motel, nwant  to go for a swim?"
  That night  he moved in.
 
  The  time between meeting and finally  leaving is
  sometimes  called falling in  love
  The  time between meeting and finally  leaving is
  sometimes  called falling in love
  At  night she'd wait for the sound of his feet on the door mat
  the sound of his hand on the door knob
  the sound of her heart beating in her head
  He'd  go out playing nickel slots cause he  knew he'd loose
  She didn't know  so she couldn't choose
  But  one night while sleeping alone  in her bed
  the phone  rang, she woke up and sat  up and said,
  "What time  is it?,  What time is it?"
  "Well it's 5:30  here and it's 2:30  there and I
  won't  be home tonight" he  said
  The time  between meeting and finally  leaving is
  sometimes  called falling in love
  The time  between meeting and finally  leaving is
  sometimes  called falling in love
  Now  she sits in a booth in a diner, waiting  for someone to take her
  order
  waiting  for someone to come and sit down.
  She  rubs the smudge off the photograph,  put's it back in her purse.
 
  The grey  sky was romantic cause he was holding  her hand
  He  was her man.
  The  time between meeting and finally  leaving is
  sometimes  called falling in love
  The time  between meeting and finally  leaving is
  sometimes  called falling in love
  Sometimes  called faling in love
 
  She  wanted to be a cowboy
  She was shootin'em  down
  She was trampin'  around
 How
 We didn't come  this far
 You didn't make  this hard for me
 And now you want  to ask me how
 How does your heart  beat?
 Why do you breathe?
 How does your heart  beat?
 Why do you breathe?
 Why did you come  here?
 You weren't invited
 You were on the outside
 Stay on the outside
 And now you want  to ask me why
 How does your heart  beat?
 Why do you breathe?
 How does your heart  beat?
And  there are some things  that I'd like to  figure out
 There are some  things that I  can do without
 You and your letters  are gone forever
 You and the people  were never friends
 Never  friends
 Never  friends
 
 
 Of all the things  that you could be
 You never could  learn how  to be me
 And now you want  to ask me how
 How does your heart  beat?
 Why do you breathe?
 How does your heart  beat?
 Why do you breathe?
   How do you breathe?
 
 
 Wishing Heart
   Badd4  Asus2add6  (079990)
  No  teacher to follow, no  prophet to tell me how,
  But I know  what I want, I know  what I want now.
  Like water,  it rushes,
  it's the last  thing you see when you close your  eyes,
  it's the one  place you want to be.
  But if it doesn't  brush my shoulder, and it doesn't  beat my heart,
  that's  not what I want, no that's not  where I will start.
  I never  kissed somebody so that they  would break my heart,
  that's  not what I want.
  If you  don't know what you're missing
  cause you don't  know where to start,
  follow  your wishing heart.
  I  was restless,
  I was restless,
  I  was restless,
  I was restless.
  I just want  this to be good,
  I just want  this to be good.
  but  you don't understand,
  you don't  understand me, and  I want to be understood.
  But if it doesn't  brush my shoulder,
  and it doesn't  beat my heart,
  that's  not what I want, no, that's not  where I will start.
  I never  kissed somebody so that they  would break my heart,
  that's  not what I want.
  And if  we all leap before  we crawl, we might  fall,
  and it's not always  candy spun  from head to heart,
  and it's not always  meant to be,
  and it's not always up to me.
  But if it doesn't  brush my shoulders, and it doesn't  beat my heart.
  that's  not what I want, no that's not  where I will start.
  I never  kissed somebody so that they  would break my heart,
  that's  not what I want, no,  no
  But if it doesn't  brush my shoulders, and it doesn't  beat my heart.
  that's  not what I want, no that's not  where I will start.
  I never  kissed somebody so that they  would break my heart,
  that's  not what I want, no,  no
 
 
  If  you don't know what you're missing,
 cause you don't know where to start,
  you  don't know what you're missing
  follow  your wishing heart.

  Even insects  buzz like airplanes,  why can't we  fly away?
  I'm going  as far as I can go.
  (Now it does the same pattern as before but a whole step up)
  (Use all bar chords)
   Your dad died, cause his  heart hurt,  arking away his forty-five  years,
  dragging your mom  along.
  I don't  want that, neither  do you. Neither do you.
  If I  am not fun, and I  am not interesting,
  perhaps  I am not interested in you, niether  are you.
   You can't stand  in front of an oven,  cause it's warm,
  and the fumes  are dangerous.
 
 
   I'm going  as far as I can go.
  Away from here,  away from you,  Jake,
  and the hole  you've sunk me into.
   I wish  that I could belong here,  with you, and just be.
   but that's not all  that I'm about  to do.
 This
This  is  where I meet  my muse,  and it feeds  me.
this  is  how I buy  the sun,  and it feeds  me.
This  is why I burn this candle.
I  light it so that I can handle this.
 You're  so still
so  safe
apear
severe
you  are so nonchalant.
So  I
stand  still
so  safe
appear
severe
I  am not. Bud da da! Bud do da do Da!
This  is  where I meet  my muse,  and it feeds me.
This  is  how I buy  the sun,  and it feeds me.
I  told David I won't die, and  this is how I watch the sky.
This  is why I burn this candle, I  light is so that I can handle this.
You're  so still
save  face
try  to erase
 all  you feel inside
So  I
stand  still
save  face
 I misplace
all  the feelings I can't hide.
Of  all  the rooms  I've loved  before,
 it's you  I love  inside this  room.
They  test  me, can  I train my evil  eye to see like  they do?
Sometimes
 sometimes
 sometimes.

 Firecracker
 
  You want to suffer to show me your angry
  Fight with your fists up or call for your mummy
  You want to suffer to show me your angry
  Spend time alone find a stick in the basement
  Drink water & gold dust and live on impatience
  Slaughtered for weakness electric like static
  Slaughtered your weak there's no need to speak
  You change your shoelaces, I light firecrackers
  You step on the spark
  You change your sholaces, I light firecrackers
  I shouldn't be any inspiration
  I never got in your way
  I should never have to chase you
  I was the one who got away
  If you could feel the pain your confusion has caused me
 You would have stopped before you spoke
 Listening to lies, the pain does'nt suit me
 The gift that you gace me, I put it away
 I could'nt look at it, made me think of you
 You get in the way
 You change your shoelaces, I light firecrackers
  You step on the spark
  You change your sholaces, I light firecrackers
 Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement
 Drink water and gold dust and die of impatience
 Electric liek static, and no need to speak
 It's not right, but it's not wrong
 So I wrote this song
 I wrote this song - is that what you want
 You got what you wnat - does it make you feel better?
 With a smirk on your face and a gun at my head
 You come to my place and ask to be fed
 You change your shoelaces, I light firecrackers
 You step on the spark
 You change your sholaces, I light firecrackers
 You get in the way
 You get in the way
 You want to suffer and show me you're angry
 Fight with your fists up or call for your mommy
 You want to suffer and show me you're angry

Wishing Heart

   [Asus2]   Badd4   [Asus2]    Asus2add6   [E] (079990)

   No[E] teacher to follow, no[Asus2] prophet to tell me how,
   But I kno[E]w what I want, I kno[Asus2]w what I want now.
   Like wat[E]er, it rushes,
   it's the las[Asus2]t thing you see when you close [E]your eyes,
   it's the one[E] place you want to be.

   But if it doe[Asus2]sn't brush my shoulder, and it doe[Badd4]sn't beat my heart,
   tha[E]t's not what I want, no that's not[Badd4] where I will start.
   I [Asus2]never kissed somebody so that [Badd4]they would break my heart,
   [Asus2]that's not what I want.    [A#4sus2]                 [A5sus2]

   If yo[E]u don't know what you're missing
   cause you [Asus2]don't know where to start,
   [Asus2]follow your wishing heart.

   [E]I was restless,
      I was restless,
   [Asus2]I was restless,
      I was restless.
   I just wan[E]t this to be good,
   I just [Asus2]want this to be good.

   but[E] you don't understand,
   you don[Asus2]'t understand me, and[E] I want to be und[Asus2]erstood.
   But if it doe[Asus2]sn't brush my shoulder,
   and it doe[Badd4]sn't beat my heart,
   tha[E]t's not what I want, no, that's not[Asus2] where I will start.
   I n[Asus2]ever kissed somebody so that the[Badd4]y would break my heart,
   tha[Asus2]t's not what I want.       [A#4sus2]                 [A5sus2]

   And [E]if we all leap [Asus2]before we crawl, we migh[E]t fall,

   and it's not [E]always candy [Asus2]spun from head to [E]heart,
   and it's not alw[E]ays meant to be,[Asus2]
   and it's not always up to [Eadd4]me.

   But if it doe[Asus2]sn't brush my shoulders, and it doe[Badd4]sn't beat my heart.
   tha[E]t's not what I want, no that's not[Asus2] where I will start.
   I n[Asus2]ever kissed somebody so that the[Badd4]y would break my heart,

   But if it [Asus2]doesn't brush my shoulders, and it [Badd4]doesn't beat my heart.

Firecracker

      [B5]              [G]               [A]               [B5]

  You want to        suffer to       show me your    angry
  Fight with your    fists up or call for your   mummy
  You want to        suffer to       show me your    angry
  Spend time alone find a     stick in the    basement
  Drink water &   gold dust and   live on impatience
  Slaughtered for    weakness electric like   static
  Slaughtered your   weak there's no need to speak

 You change your shoelaces, I light firecrackers
 You step on the spark
 You change your sholaces, I light firecrackers

 I shouldn't be any inspiration
 I never got in your way
 I should never have to chase you
 I was the one who got away
 If you could feel the pain your confusion has caused me
You would have stopped before you spoke
Listening to lies, the pain does'nt suit me
The gift that you gace me, I put it away
I could'nt look at it, made me think of you
You get in the way

You change your shoelaces, I light firecrackers
 You step on the spark
 You change your sholaces, I light firecrackers

Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement
Drink water and gold dust and die of impatience
Electric liek static, and no need to speak
It's not right, but it's not wrong
So I wrote this song
I wrote this song - is that what you want
You got what you wnat - does it make you feel better?
With a smirk on your face and a gun at my head
You come to my place and ask to be fed

You change your shoelaces, I light firecrackers
You step on the spark
You change your sholaces, I light firecrackers
You get in the way

You get in the way

You want to suffer and show me you're angry
Fight with your fists up or call for your mommy
You want to suffer and show me you're angry
