[B]It's only when your poison spins into the life you'd hoped to live
and suddenly you wake up in a shaken panic now  [A]
[B]You had set me up like a lamb to slaughter

Garbo as a farmer's daughter

Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?
I lay right d[A]own

[F#]All your sad and lost apostles
[A]hum my name and [E]flare their nostrils
[F#]Choking on the bones you tossed to [A]them   [A]     [Ab]        [G]          [F#]
[F#]now I'm not one to sit and spin
because l[A]iving well's the b[E]est revenge
[D]Baby, I am c[A]alling you on t[E]hat

[B]Don't turn your talking points on me.

History will set me free
The future is ours and you don't even rate a footnote no[A]w!
[B]So who's chasing you? Where did you go?

You disappear mid-sentence

In a judgement crisis I see my in and go for it
You weakened s[A]hill.

[F#]All your sad and lost apostles
[A]hum my name and f[E]lare their nostrils
[F#]Choking on the bones you tossed to th[A]em  [A]    [Ab]       [G]         [F#]
[F#]now I'm not one to sit and spin
because li[A]ving well is the be[E]st revenge
[D]and baby, I am ca[A]lling you on th[E]at

[B]You savor your dying breath

I forgive but I don't forget

You work it out, let's hear that argument again
Camera three... GO NOW![A]

[F#]All your sad and lost apostles
[A]hum my name and fl[E]are their nostrils
[F#]Choking on the bones you tossed to th[A]em [Ab]    [G]      [F#]
[F#]now I'm not one to sit and spin
because liv[A]ing well is the b[E]est revenge
[D]and baby, I am ca[A]lling you on th[E]at
[D]Baby, I am call[A]ing you on th[E]at
[D]Baby, I am call[A]ing you on th[E]at

[G]Turning on the TV and what do I see?
A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me – wow![F#]
[G]I’d have thought by now we would be ready to proceed

But a tearful hymn to tug the heart
And a man-sized wreath – ow![F#]

[Am]Throw it on the fire
[D]Throw it in the air
[Bm]Kick it out on the dance-floor like you [E]just don’t care, oh
[Am]Give [G]me som[D]e

[G]Wave the palms, still the arms, fists in the air
A motorcade of a night-string(?) shows the people that you care – o[F#]w!
[G]Nature abhors a vacuum but what’s between your ears?

Your judgement cluttered with fearful thoughts
A headlights and a deer – ow![F#]

[Am]Throw it on the fire
[D]Throw it in the air
[Bm]Kick it out on the dance-floor like you [E]just don’t care, oh
[Am]Give [G]me som[D]e

[G]Well I’m not deceived by pomp and odious conceit

But a tearful hymn to tug the heart
And a man-sized wreath-ow[F#]!

[Am]Throw it on the fire
[D]Throw it in the air
[Bm]Kick it out on the dance-floor like you [E]just don’t care, oh
[Am]Look at what I’ve found
[D]Everybody look around
[Bm]Everybody looking like [E]they just don’t care

[Am]Throw it on the fire

Notes:
In the verse it seems that Peter does not hit the high e string but he
strums every chord once and then the stays at the melodic strings til the
next chord.

  [D]       [Am7]      Fill11
I finally got some rest

So a man's put to task and challenges
I was taught to hold my head high
Collect what is mine,
Make the best of what today has

[D]*                     [C]*      Fill2
Houston is filled with promise
[D]Laredo's a beautiful [C]place
[D]*                            [C]*                Fill2
and Galveston sings like that song that I loved
[F]Its meaning has not been [G]erased

And so there are claims forgiven
And so there are things that are gone

Houston is filled with promise
Laredo is a beautiful place
and Galveston sings like that song that I loved
Its meaning has not been erased

[F]And some things, they fall to the wayside
[G]Their memory is yet to be [D5]stilled
[F]Belief has not failed me
And [G]so I am put to the test  [D5]

END OF CHORUS

[A5]      [G5]

(Verse chords)

Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet
No time to argue with belief
I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me
What put me here?
Nothing to hold on to
Nowhere to brake

(Chorus Chords)

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make

(END OF CHORUS chords)

I've got to follow another direction (although fall down is much cooler)

(Verse chords)

The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs
I threw the window open in challenge and despair
I don't know what I needed
I needed time
I needed to escape
I saw the future turn
Upside-down and hesitate.

(Chorus Chords)

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make

(END OF CHORUS chords)

I've got to follow another direction

Accelerate.

(Verse chords)

The vista I see now is changing
Uncertainty is suffocating
Our hope has never felt so great and
Lit up down
A pounding pulse
To make it go
Make it slow down,
[Go]

(Chorus Chords)

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make

(END OF CHORUS chords)

I've got to follow another direction.

(Verse chords)

The city's burning, it's like it's ready to explode
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go

(END OF CHORUS chords)

I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete.

Song: SING FOR THE SUBMARINE

opening/verse chord progression:

[Bm] [C] [Bm]

It feels in dreams
That everything is there for you
The city breathes and pulses
It's fuel electron blue

I knew that you could see right through it
So this is where I give in to the machine
Lift up your voice feel gravity's pull
Drown out the siren's ring (or silent dream)

Oh...
[Am]It's all here where I keep it

[Dm]It's all in the submarine

[Am]It's all a lot less frightening

[Dm]than you would have had it be

[Am]But that's the good news my darling

[Dm]It is what it's going to be

[B]So sing[Bb], si[G]ng [Em]for the submarine

Back to verse:

I tried to explain how it all begins
How its all destroyed and built again
I knew that you could not believe me
But now you're here and it's different
How the light shines in your eyes
In every second or situ
It's then that I realised
That the world as we know it
The High speed train
We'll pick it all up and start again

It's all here where I keep it
It's all in the submarine
It's all a lot less frightening
than you would have had it be
But that's the good news my darling
It is what it's going to be
So sing, sing for the submarine

[F#]  [B] [Bb]  [D] [C#]  [C#] [D] [E5] [F#]

Back to verse chords:

The city did not collapse in a shudder
The rain it never came
At least my confessions made you laugh
I know it's a little crazed
But these dreams...
they seem so real to me

It's all here where I keep it
It's all in the submarine
It's all a lot less frightening
than you would have had it be
But that's the good news my darling
It is what it's going to be
So sing, sing for the submarine

So this is where you trust me
And this where it begins
It's all a lot less frightening
Your tear you let it in
Tyrel and his mechanical owl
A moth disguised as a leaf...
Don't tell me what tomorrow brings
Climb into the hidden machine and
sing sing sing sing sing sing
sing sing for the submarine

"Horse To Water"
[B]I could have kept my head down

[B]I might have kept my mouth shut

[B]I should have held my own,

[B]You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.

SAME PROGRESSION AGAIN:
You're only as big as your battles.
Rattle my cage with your shadow.
I'm a phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
Don't you know that what comes around goes around?

[Em]I'm no[B]t that easy,

[A5]I am no[B]t your horse to water.

[Em]I hold my breath I[B] com[A5]e around, round, round.

VERSE PROGRESSION AGAIN:

Don't darken my doorstep again,
You're mixing up living in chin-chin,
You're mixing up lose with win-win,
You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.

You stumble on glass top table,
TV's chewing shock-gone cable
Pump me up a beanstalk fable
And I'll call this entertainment
'cause Humpty's falling down.

I'm not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.

Pick a fight an ultra-buzzy bubble
Friday night fuckin' fried-up pub crawl
Phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
Don't you know that what comes around goes around?

I'm not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.

It's not that easy
I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath, I come around, round, round

[G]Th[A]is[G] r[F#]unaround, round, round

[F#]Is [G]bo[F#]und[F] to pound

The [Em]daylights out of you!

I’m Gonna DJ

If death is pretty final, I'm collected vinyl

[G]I'm [Bb]gon[G]na[Bb] DJ a[C]t th[D]e end of the world

Cos if heaven does exist with a kickin' playlist

[G]I do[Bb]n't[G] w[Bb]ant t[C]o mi[D]ss it at the end of the world
[D5]Hey steady steady, hey steady steady

[D5]I don't wanna go till I'm good and ready
[D5]It's on my m[E5]ind, it's[D5] in my mind         [E5]

[D5]It's what I f[E5]ound, it's wh[D5]at I find     [E5]
(Same progression as above)

It's on my mind, it's in my mind
It's what I found, oh my my my
[E5]When I spin my way right through it grates enthusiast Jack Pruett

[E5]As the moths circle the [D5]moon, as you're ci[C]rcling the room
[E5]Music will provide the light you cannot resist

[D5]you canno[C]t resist, you cannot resist
[G7]And the weblogs that get tangled as you bully and you wangle
When you walk up in Seattle, where you fought the nascent battle
[G7]You threw the thread and throttle let us raise another bottle
Raise another bottle, raise another bottle

Because death is pretty final, I'm collecting vinyl

[G]I'm [Bb]gon[G]na[Bb] DJ a[C]t th[D]e end of the world

(SAME CHORD PROGRESSIONS AS MENTIONED ABOVE, BASICALLY)

Hey steady steady, hey steady steady
I don't wanna go till I'm good and ready

It's on my mind, it's in my mind
It's what I found, it's what I find

It's on my mind, it's in my mind
It's what I found, oh my my my

Hey steady steady, hey steady steady
I don't wanna go till I'm good and ready

Hey steady steady, hey steady steady
I don't wanna go till I'm good and ready

Music will provide the light you cannot resist
You cannot resist, you cannot resist

Yeah

Song: Redhead Walking
Album: Accelerate (Deluxe Edition)

RedHead Walking
The whole song is just 3 chords in one constant progression

[Em]Lis[G5]ten[A5] to[G5] the song to get the strum pattern
G---15b-14-12 (repeat as much as necessary)
lyrics:
Out there are silver dressed darlings
And ramen mein delights
When ginger hair gets all fired up
She beats them in the night
That redhead walking, uh
Don't get close
She'll warn you with her growl
She's a bud cuttin', star studded, leather chested girl
Out there a redhead walkin'
Redhead walkin'
The redhead walkin'
Better listen keep your distance from the crimson crime warpath
O kiss that girl
Kiss that girl
Kiss that girt
Yeah, she'll cut your heart like diamonds
End of story
You bet you're gonna lose it to that hellbound crimson glory
There — a redhead walkin'
A redhead walkin'
A redhead walkin'
Heed what this wise man says
Keep away from redheads

(Ow! that hurt!)
