[Am]Into the night's misf[F]ortunes we f[G]ade

The o[F]nly road pa[Am]ved by dead so[G]uls

Shoveling sons keeping good time
Digging the holes where others reside
Fortunate sons keeping us awake
Into the night's misgivings we fade

And you never will be confused by the few who ride down
The only road paved by dead souls
And they never will credit you on the few times you ride
The only road worth your time

04 - All the Ghosts

[Note: this song is mostly piano with light electric guitar.
The piano would be too hard to tab exactly for guitar,
so these chords are not exact voicings, but just the basics.]

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

[Em]Have you been paid [Em/F#]       [Em/G]

[C]  To bring us d[B]own

[Em]against our w[Em/F#]ill ag[Em/G]ain?   [C]       [B]

[Em]And how'd you [Em/F#]follow [Em/G]us?

[C]And how'd you s[B]ee?

[Em]Wishing's lost t[Em/F#]o the t[Em/G]ouch

[C]To see your eyes are painted shut

[Em]And we [Em/F#]won't c[Em/G]ome cle[C]an. [B]

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

Are you too late
To serve again a locked out salary?
Just buy me something.
I'll pay you later for these things.

[Em]We'll be cleared f[Em/F#]rom you[Em/G]r list

[C]And all the ghosts who won't be missed

05 - Find the Four

[E]  [A]  [F]  [D7]  [G]  [C]
[E]  [A]  [F]  [D7]  [G]  [C]

[E]  Find the [A]hour to te[F]ll me p[D7]laces I[G] have ne[C]ver been

[E]  And educ[A]ate me of a[F]ll things l[D7]ost through sl[G]eep and [C]wasted time

[E]Out p[A]ast the br[F]eak and the sl[D7]ips

A r[F]ow of foreign sh[D7]ips

Our a[G]mnesty li[C]es

Keep breathing lines from the books and sleep with your pants on
Hold allegiance 'til your contract's up, your time is out

Too real your head is a fog
And all that was done
Is dead on the run
Keep breathing page after page
Hire me today
Or throw me in jail

[F]Ooohhhh...
[C]Ooohhhh...

Why'd you have to be
Responsible?

08 - You've Been Hired

[G]   You've been hired for their di[C]rty work
I can s[Am]ee it in your eyes
So lo[C]ng for now  [C7]

[E]   I will always be t[Cadd9]rue to you
For a wh[Am]ile you'll have to kill for fo[C]od      [C7]

Turn off all your sensors most of all
and relinquish your control
You're dead for now

By the rocks we throw you will be clear to hear
All the fates will be calling you

By the time you're here
All will be gone

[G]   All these changes  [Am]  and bank statements
[C]   They must make you [Am]  kind of nervous

09 - To Be Free Again

[F] [C]      [F]     [Ab]  [E]          [F] [C]

You'll be fr[C]ee a[E]ga[F]in

Keep your story please
But throw away your lies

Priests of light
Burn down the evil land
You still have time to make it alright
To be free again

10 - Five Miles

[Cadd9]   Five miles of unused highway
[G7]   Three flares to bring you my way
[C]   Too late the kitchen's closed
We'll h[Am]ave to sleep fore[E]ver now
[Cadd9]   Thin lines are paint between us
[G7]   Outside the symphony of
[C]   Hellbound fortune-driven
S[Am]oldiers out on ho[E]liday

[C]  [Am]  [E]
[C]  [A]   [F]

[C]  As you walk away ag[A]ain
A d[G7]ynasty of br[C]oken feet give in
Four wa[F]keless mornings b[Fm]eat the sun down
[C]On the chaplain's head
And as he cues for you to si[A]ng
R[G7]hapsody you pr[C]omised would bring
All ch[F]apel-beaten so[Fm]ldiers down
Up[C]on their knees again

[F]  [Fm]  [C]

On bo[F]rrowed time the

[C] [F] [Fm]

[C]Wake up the town to give us rhap[F]sodies of
[Fm]Timeless rhythm sc[C]attering away
As fo[F]rmless creatures l[Fm]ift
The time from ev[C]ery working day

[F]  [Fm]  [C]  [til end]

11 - Open Ocean Sailing

[E]   [F]

You don't k[C]now me so you won't [Am]pay me anymo[E]re   [F]

And you won't h[C]ire me to c[Am]ome and clean your f[E]loor  [F]

But let me t[C]ake you down to the l[Am]ake so we can get[E] paid[F]

one more t[C]ime around  [Am]       [E]           [F]

And your technology has a fade in its life expectancy
And only one thing could release you from your misery
Fight the ways of a slow production on a field day
Fight the ways of a slow production day

Until you're real I'll fall into your arms of hatred and harm
Until you're safe I'll fall into those places you've been running from so far

And you won't feed me angry pages anymore
The salted windows you will view me from no more
But let me turn you down so the rest of us could hear
one more time around

And your technology has a fade in its life expectancy
And only one thing could release you from your misery
Fight the ways of a slow production on a field day
Fight the ways of a slow production day

12 - Gas Station Downs

[Note: Okay, so they get a little tricky here with us.  This was by far the hardest song to figure out,
and I'd welcome any corrections, especially to the "Have fun done" part.  I'm pretty sure I got it,
though.  The B7add4 and D9(no3)/A are outlined rather than strummed, so it's pretty easy to hear the
individual notes.]

B7add4 = [X2120X]
[D9](no3)/[A] = [X00210]

Organ intro [transposed for guitar]:

[E]Show your fa[C]ce 'round here ag[Bb]ain  [D]
We'll have to b[Bb]urn the sta[C]tions down
[E]     One by o[C]ne
It's too bad your fa[Bb]ce  [D]
reveals the st[Bb]ate you'll be li[C]ving in
[E]     And in the t[C]ime
It takes you to r[Bb]un  [D]
From end to e[Bb]nd, you'll be d[C]ead again

[B7add4]        Have fun done[D9]        [A]
You're the[B7add4] same in the ph[D9]otograph[A]

Half with the [D9]cell aga[A]in
