    "How will I  know if it's working..."

    [F#m]right?

[F#m]light conf[G]uses
[D] the ti[C#m]ny   [Bm]isles of [G]bruises
the [F#m]mangled [B]lines

(Riff 2)
I see the signs of aging

[D]But if I try to f[D]eel at all
I [Em]am deceived my mi[Em]nd's affected
[D]it's empty now
[D]as I lay down
[Em]I feel alright
[Em]my heart is racing

[F#m]Turn the [G]noise on
[D] I'd like [C#m]to   f[Bm]eed my p[G]oison
as[F#m]sembly l[B]ines

(Riff 2)
carry a velvet warning

[F#m]to the [G]yard
[D] it's just [C#m]like s[Bm]triking m[G]atches
the [F#m]polish l[B]ies

But it's working in your blood
([B]Wor[Bbm]king  [Abm]in   your b[E]lood)

Which you know is not the same as love
([Em]Same   as   [F#m]love)
[G]Love is only in your m[D]ind
([D]Wor[C#m]king  [Bm]in  your  m[G]ind)
And not your h[A]eart

[F#m]Now, it's w[G]orking

[Em5]   [Em]    [D]    [G]    [F#m]    [A]

But it's working in your blood
([B]Wor[Bbm]king  [Abm]in   your b[E]lood)

Which you know is not the same as love
([Em]Same   as   [F#m]love)
[G]Love is only in your m[D]ind
([D]Wor[C#m]king  [Bm]in  your  m[G]ind)
And not your h[A]eart

2. Song for DAN TREACY

H[D]e spends his t[Bm]ime, or maybe h[G]alf of his time, or [Gm]par[Bb]t of the time wandering

'round the [D/A]creeks and cobble s[Bm]tones of hackney l[Em]anes

[D]with a tear in his [Bm]eye, as the c[G]hildren walk by, he's t[Gm]hin[Bb]king of a song

then s[D/A]tops, to paint a [Bm]picture of a[Em] frown, [F#m]walking [Fm]around

[Em] [Cm] [Gm] [F#m] [Fm] x2

And the fast guitar that's right after that part goes like this:

[D]Dan Treacy's [Bm]smile, leaves you [G]trying to decide who's the [Gm]vic[Bb]tim, what's the crime?

no r[D/A]est for the mind, that's s[Bm]een it all b[Em]efore

[D]and I don't know where he [Bm]lives, but he's a m[G]yth of a man, and T[Gm]exa[Bb]s Bob the cameraman

is o[D/A]ff to fix his [Bm]sit before the s[Em]how, yeah but w[F#m]here did h[Fm]e go?

[Em] [Cm] [Gm] [F#m] [Fm] x2

to k[C#m]now when your t[A]ime's up

you f[B]lip the glass and [E]watch the hours q[Abm]uickening  [Bm]

oh oh [A]oh oh[Am] oh

in the b[C#m]ack of the s[A]tation

fluo[B]rescent lights a[E]bout to quit their f[Abm]lickering   [Bm]

well he s[A]peaks his mind, he says "[F#]what is crime?"

[F#m]Dan Treacy's eyes    [F#m6]

[D]In the middle of the p[Bm]ark, when the u[G]nderground is dark

he's a poet [Gm]he'[Bb]s a lark

he starts t[D]hinking about a pl[Bm]ace that no one k[Em]nows

[D]and when the creeks run [Bm]dry, he stays f[G]rozen in time

strange l[Gm]igh[Bb]ts in the sky

start [D/A]blinking, I can see the [Bm]car outside but he's l[Em]istening

oh oh oh oh, he's [Abm]listening, oh oh oh, he's l[Bm]istening, ah ah ah

when he's [A]making up hi[Am]s mind

[C#m]He made his m[A]ind up, to g[B]et things done and o[E]vercome   [Abm]         [Bm]              [A]                 [Am]

[C#m]He made his [A]mind up, [B]yeah he's gonna l[E]et it go  [Abm]       [Bm]           [A]              [Am]

[C#m]he made his [A]mind up, [B]in the park and a[E]t the station [Abm]      [Bm]          [A]             [Am]

[C#m]he made his [A]mind up, [B]yeah, he's gonna [E]get it done[Abm]     [Bm]         [A]            [Am]

[C#m]he made his [A]mind up, [B]ooh yeah he's gon[E]na get it [Abm]done [Bm]     [A]        [Am]

[C#m]he made his [A]mind u[B]p    [E]         [Abm]              [Bm]

[A]yeah, he's gonna let it go, u[B]h oh

no matter the t[C#m]ime, oh oh [B]

when the c[C#m]reeps run by, oh [B]no

he's making his m[C#m]ind up, oh oh [B]oh oh

[F#m]yeah he's gonna get it done w[B]hoa

[F#m]oh yeah, when the creeks run dry whoa o[B]h

[F#m]yeah, he's gonna listen to his [B]soul,

[F#m]yeah, when the creeps walk by and say, "[F#m]come here boy, look me in the eye"

[F#m6]bow to the heart, back to the beat of Dan [E]Treacy

3. Someone's Missing

[E]Someone's telling the [C#m]toll to me         [A]                [B]
I'm cut and I'm [Ab]weeping like a rubber tre[F#m]e      [Am]
[E]but i don't care who's [C#m]left behind       [A]              [B]
lost [Ab]revelations that I'll never find     [F#m]            [Am]
in the l[C#m]ong hal[F#m]l pipes are [Ab7]whispering
blues [Ab7]prepared for [Ab7]anti-christening

[E]somewhere there's an [C#m]honest soul        [A]               [B]
to mirror [Ab]teeth where neon lures troll  [F#m]         [Am]
[E]and what's extinct might [C#m]come alive     [A]            [B]
a purple [Ab]smoke in some internal shrine  [F#m]         [Am]

with a l[C#m]ong sig[F#m]h let the [Ab7]hissing in
stones d[C#m]eformed[F#m] by gentle [Ab7]kissing and
all the [Ab7]closed eyes start to glisten
but it [Ab]feels like someone's missing
yeah it[Ab] feels like someone's missing
yeah it[B] feels like someone's missing
yeah it[B] feels like someone's missing

it [E]feels lik[C#m]e someone's [A]missing  [F#m]

4. Flash Delirium

[Dm]

[F]Mild apprehension
Blank [Dm]dreams of the coming fun [A/E]
[F] Distort the odds of a turnaround
Gut [Dm]screams out next to none [A]
So turn it [B]on
Tune it [E]in
And stay [A]inert
You say "[F]I've got the backbone"
The back [Dm]way to escape the gun [A]
[F] Climbing a tree with a missing limb
And not [Dm]saving anyone [A]
And now it [B]hurts
To stay at [E]home and see

[A]Flash

The mirror ball's throwing mold
You [Dm]can't get a grip if there's nothing to hold
See the [B]flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt
So if you [E]must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt

[F]Plants

As far as I know are still,
[C] Still bending [A]toward the light
And if we [F]dance

Until the heart explodes
It'll [Dm]make this place ig[A]nite
[F] And even if this [G]hall collapses
[C] I can stand by my [Am]pillar of hope it's [F]just
A [Dm]case of Flash [A]Delirium

[F]Here's a growing culture

Deep inside a corpse
[Dm]Ages stuck together
[A]Taking it to the source
[F]Timeless desperation
[C]Pictures on a screen scream
[Dm] "hey people,[A] what does it mean?"

[B]   [E]   [A]

[F]Comfort keeps us [Fm]nice
So [C]quick to donate [A]everything
Die [B]wolken drifting blinding smiles [E]circling
And [F]time's [Fm]tingling [C]spines
A[A]ttaching hands to [B]floor
The [E]rosy-tinted

[A]Flash

The hot dog's getting cold
And you'll [Dm]never be as good as the Rolling Stones
Watch the [B]birds in the airport gathering dirt
Crowd the [E]clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt

[F] Why close one eye and try to
[C] Pledge allegiance [Am]to the sun
[F] When plastic ghosts start terror[Dm]izing every[A]one
[F] Geometric [G]troops aligning
[C] Carried [C/B]up to the [Am]burial mounds
[F] My earthbound heart is heavy
[C] Your heartbeat [Am]keeps things light
[F] With the violence forever [Dm]threatening the [A]night
And[F] even if this [G]hall collapses
[C] I can stand by my [Am]pillar of hope and [B]trust
That our heads won't [E]bust

[F]Six six, five five [Ab]red battleships
Forty [C/G]earthlike planets
Three [A]holes two tits
One [B]fork in it's side
Zero [E]tears in their eyes

(double time)
[F]Sue the spiders

Sink the Welsh
[Ab]Stab your facebook

Sell sell sell
[C/G]Undercooked

Overdone
[A]Mass adulation not so funny
[B]Poisoned honey

Pseudo science
[E]Silly money
You're my honey  [A]

5. I Found A Whistle

[C]Hey I found a [Am]whistle that [F]hangs like a [Am]charm
[C]   And when my [Am]noose is tied I could [F]blow it and [G]fall down into your
[Em]Arms. fifteen [D]centuries of [Em]dissolution and [B7]grief
to re[C]turn a yellow [G]trickster and a [F]thief

(Repeat for all verses)
Yeah I found a whistle that works every time
That's when the trail escapes to nowhere
And the flood erases the crime
Such conviction
To paint all the wall with the blood
Of the young and the faithful and the good

Yeah I found a whistle as thin as a sheet
To split the dumbness of a vision
Between asleep and a sleep
Tiny axes
Repeatedly raising the flag
All ignored, real emotion's such a drag

Hey I've got a pistol that's aimed at your heart
And on dark nights when the moon is right
I could show you
The head attached with a scarf
Aerophane sorceress, at home obeying the fates
When it's gone, has it gone all the way?

[Ending]
This [C]time I found a [G]whistle that [F]works every [C]time
[C]Yeah I found a [G]whistle that [F]works, [E7]hangs like a charm
[C]I found a [G]whistle that [F]works every [C]time
[C]Yeah I found a [G]whistle that [F]works, [E7]closes my eye every-
[F]time. A whistle, I've [G]got it, I've got it this [C]time.

6. Siberian Breaks (Ryan McGrath)

        [Am]      [C]       [Am]      [C]

        [Bbm]     [Cm]      [Bbm]     [Cm]

        [A]

        [Am]        Sleep as the [C]goer

        the [Am]bridge that watches the [C]light speed through

        [Bbm]And cries while the [Cm]spirit stumbles

        [Bbm]and inside missile[Cm] for the protection of [Amaj7]you

        [Am]        Maybe it's [C]silent

        the [Am]voice can't bear any[C]more strain

        [Bbm]but speaks without [Cm]even knowing

        and [Bbm]streams out of [Cm]sight in the direction of [Amaj7]truth

        [Amaj7]   [Em]      [Amaj7]   [Em]

Part B (01:23 - 01:51):

        Transition:

        -----5-----5------|
        ---5-----5-----10-|
        -6-----7-----9----|
        ------------------|
        ------------------|
        ------------------|

        [Gm]        There's no [C]reason there's no [Dm]secret to decode

        [Gm]        if you can't [C]save it, leave it [Dm]dying on the [G]road

        [Gm]        wide open [C]arms can feel so [Dm]cold, so [C]cold

        Feel so cold

Part C (01:52 - 02:09):

        [Em]      [F#]      [D]       [C#m]     [Bm]      [E]

Part D (02:10 - 04:44):

        Transition - Play A major until the singing comes in.

        [A]Balance the books, the ledges, the loons

        the disappointed look on the [F#m]faces

        that squint at the [E]moon

        [C#m]I've seen it with shadows [Bm]enhanced

        and then [C#m]vote to decide who'll [D]advance

        [A]Silver jet plane, making a turn

        exciting the brain that [F#m]expects it to crash and then [E]burn

        [C#m]it's not the life lesson I'd've [Bm]guessed

        [C#m]if you're conscious you must be [D]depressed

        or at least [A]cynical             [C#m]

        [Em]But someone might still eat the steaks

        [F#]even if they're tough

        [D]Spending the day

        [C#m]chewing the fat

        [Bm]floating away isn't [E]rough but it's not enough[A]

        [A]Oh Marianne, pass me the joint

        the sandpaper's tan

        go-[F#m]getters are surfing the [E]point

        and [C#m]London's a scratch on the[Bm] lens

        it's [C#m]over before it [D]begins

        [A]Silk 'round her neck falls down to her shoulders

        the older I get, the [F#m]more I suspect there's a [E]trick

        but [C#m]really there's no trick at [Bm]all

        that [C#m]doesn't result in a [D]fall

        or a [A]faltering          [C#m]

        [Em]But something might spit out the bait

        [F#]even if it's real

        [D]Rolling away

        [C#m]missing the spoke

        [Bm]close to the ground like a [E]wheel but it's not [A]joke        [C#m]

        [D]Holding the line

        [C#m]clutching the phone

        [Bm]nobly wasting the [E]night, but it isn't [A]right

        it's not right    [F#]

        [D]Smelling for blood

        [C#m]praying for rain

        [Bm]running away isn't [E]rough, but it's not [A]enough

Let the last A chord ring.

Part E (04:56 - 05:59):

        [Eb]        The low tide is [Gm]telling me that it's [Cm]over,      [Fm]              [Cm]

        [Bb]        to breathe in [Dm]everything exp[Gm]osed

        [Eb]        and comes back t[Gm]o cover me with a bre[Cm]aker       [Fm]               [Cm]

        [Bb]        being here's a[Dm]lways changing[Gm] too

        [Cm]      [Bb]      [F]       [Eb]      [Dm]      [G]

        [Am]      [G]       [Em]

Part F (06:07 - 08:21)

        [Dm]      [G7]      [Am]      [G]       [Em]      [A]

        [Dm]      [G7]      [Am]      [G]       [Em]      [A]

        [Dm]      [G7]      [Am]      [G]       [Em]      [A]

        [Dm]      [G7]      [Am]      [G]       [Em]      [A]

        [Dm]        The empty [G7]sky surrounds me but[Am] I can't see at a[G]ll  [Em]           [A]

        [Dm]        wide open [G7]arms can feel so [Am]cold         [G]                 [Em]                         [A]

        [Dm]        and you can [G7]sit beside me and [Am]tell me what it's [G]worth[Em]       [A]

        [Dm]        but I hope I [G7]die before I get [Am]sold      [G]              [Em]                      [A]

        [Dm]        I hope I [G7]die before I get [Am]sold          [G]                  [Em]                          [A]

        [Dm]        I'd rather [G7]die before I get [Am]sold        [G]                [Em]                        [A]

Part G (08:22 - 08:58):

        If [Dm]you find the [C]soul that you [Bdim]lost

        [E]        frozen in a [Am]starry void

        [Dm]Take it [C]within and hope the [G]sight of blood

        can will signs of [C]life to return

        [Dm]Back to the [C]way that it [Bdim]was

        [E]        long before it [Am]made a noise

        [Dm]To keep on [C]quietly [G]reminding you

        what's never [Cmaj7]created or destroyed

Part H (08:59 - 09:11):

        [Fmaj7] x8 - [Cmaj7] x8 - [Fmaj7] x8

Part A (09:12 - 09:52):

        Same as the first Part A, A minor, C major, and Amaj7 are played with the
two top strings (B and high E) being open, but still strummed.

        [Am]        Wake as the [C]swell peaks

        the [Am]close-outs drowning the [C]birds with roars

        [Bbm]        and howls scare the [Cm]new unkindness

        that [Bbm]picks and laughs [Cm]at the carrion [Amaj7]scene

        [Am]        Forces you [C]see breathe

        can [Am]always go into [C]hiding

        [Bbm]        and wait 'til it [Cm]passes over

        or [Bbm]stay far gone for all [Cm]eternity

Let the final Cm chord ring.

Part I (09:55 - 12:10):

        [A] major x8 - [A] flat minor x8

7. Brian Eno

[Dm]So tired
[Bbm]Soul searching
[Am]I followed the sounds to a cathedral
[Dm]Imagine my sur[Bbm]prise to find that they [Am]were produded by Brian Eno

[Dm]Past the gates
[Bbm]Quite stark
[Am]The roses trimmed and the[Asus2] windows dark
[Dm]I see the walls through a[Bbm] limestone crack
[Am]Not red, not blue, not [Asus2]yellow, but black
[Gm]And all the space left for[Am] you
[Gm]If the sky was synthesized you'd probably know

[Dm]He taught me [Bbm]many things
[Am]The wisdom of o' [Asus2]bleak stratagems
[Dm]The prophet of a [Bbm]sapphire soul
[Am]Presented through[Asus2] creative freedoms
[Gm]And everything I say is [Am]true
[Gm]'Cause if i was telling lies it'd probably show

[D]I can tell that he's[Bm] kind of smiling
[G]But what does he know?
[D]We're always one[Bm] step behind him
[G]He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
[A]Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)

[Dm]When I was stuck he'd make me[Bbm] memorize elaborate curses
[Am]Tinctures and[Asus2] formulas
[Dm]To ditch the choir and [Bbm]flip the verses
[Gm]My whole foundation ca[Am]me unglued
[Gm]When I tried to humanize by ambient light

Dipping swords in metaphors yeah
But what does he know?
He's go the whole world behind him
He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)

[Dm]He promised[Bbm] pretty worlds and [Am]all the silence I could dream of
[Dm]Brian Peter[Bbm] George St. John
Le Baptiste de la Salle Eno

[D]Well all alone by the [Bm]oldest stone where the s[G]hade trees grow
(What does he know?)
[D]The creature by the[Bm] water feature with a g[G]hostly glow
(Brian Eno!)
[D]Yeah, he's making sure that [Bm]time's preserved well
[G]We reap what we sow
(What does he know?)
[D]We're always one[Bm] step behind him
[G]He's Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)
[D]Yeah, I can tell that he's[Bm] doing well yeah
[G]What does he know? (What does he know?!)
[D]I'm always one[Bm] step behind him
[G]He's Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)

The verse is just a simple chord progression:

[G]    [F#]Dea[G]d in the [Em]water  [D]
[C]It's not a [B/C]paid vaca[Am]tion
[G]    The[F#] so[G]ns and d[Em]aughters of c[D]ity offi[C]cials
A[B/C]ttend demonst[Am]rations
[G]    It's[F#] ha[G]rdly a [Em]sink or sw[D]im
When [C]all is wel[B/C]l if the t[Am]icket sells

[G]  [F#] [G]  [Em]  [D]  [C]  [B/C]  [Am]  [Am]

[G]    [F#]Out[G] with&
[C]It's not a [B/C]blaze of [Am]glory
[G]    You look[F#] do[G]wn from your [Em]temple
As [D]people en[C]deavor to[B/C] make it a s[Am]tory
[G]    And [F#]chi[G]sel a [Em]marble w[D]ord
But [C]all is lo[B/C]st if it's n[Am]ever heard

[G]   [C7]   [G]   [G7]

[C]But I've got someone to make reports
[D]That tell me how my money's spent
[C]To book&
[D]So I can't see what's really there
[D]And all I need's a great big congratulations

[G]  [F#] [G]  [Em]  [D]  [C]  [B/C]  [Am]  [Am]

Just repeat for the rest of the song:

I'll keep your dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems
I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast

The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn
Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock of all the waste
And salt to taste

But damn my&
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
