After the beginning part there are these series of chords :
And then the chorus:
There there is this part:
Lyrics:
It's been pretty simple so far, vacation in Athens is calling me
And knock, knock, knock on wood, I thought I'd left you behind
Heaven is yours, heaven is yours, heaven's yours where I live
The thought of the catacombs left my soul at home
This letter never sent
And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
When I'm moving too fast, where's my new address?
The water is evening now, the catacombs are filling in
If my soul was made of stone, no, not, not so dark, dark
And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost
And it's so far, it's so far, it's so far
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
Staring Down The Barrel of The Middl Distance
{section: Verse}
E D2 x However many times necessary
{section: Pre-chorus chords}
A5 G5 x How ever many times necessary
{section: Chorus chords}
(All these patterns just happen many times over)
Now the hope for the future took a pounding in the parking lot
And the answer for today is all I got
When your name is called the lights went down
The time is the essence excuse me
And I'm blinking at the vanishing point of what I thought
Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
God knows I've tried
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I greet despair to a standard prayer
If you call for the future I don't care
And I turn you round to face me here
There's a compass raised with a familiar tone
With a voice that needles me to the bone
Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
God knows I've tried
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
Whose position shifts cause its been effect
If you can't hit play cause the button sticks
Ignorance is bliss, I can't say
There's a compass raised with familiar tone
With a voice that needles you to the bone
You're left with chaos, static and delay
Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
God knows I've tried
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
God knows I've tried
I close my eyes
I close my eyes

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.
I've gotta get that out of my head
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
Houston is filled with promise
and Galveston sings like that song that I loved
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

On the Fly
You said that loving me was falling off a log
You always had a way with words
I"m in a barrel over Niagra Falls
I wonder if I am defaced
If I asked of you just one wish
Would you turn on me and take the fifth
Your off again on some epic celebration
Shooting barrels full of fish
You found another hole to waltz into
You found another car to crash
I figured if out that if you served me up
Another of this shall pass
Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside
We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly
Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside
We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly
And I just happened by
I stood there naked by the trains again
Frozen stock still in the yard
A Heron waiting for the fish to jump
I never let down my guard
I"ve been exclusive when it comes to you
I don"t receive at all
I wished I felt the same when you called me late
I almost wished you didn"t call
God knows what I"m looking for
And God knows what I am
Cause Even Jesus had his reservations
I won"t be doubting you again
I won"t be doubting you again
Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside
We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly
Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside
We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly
And I just happened by
I"m living my life, I"m here on the fly
And I just happened by

The walls are built up, stone by stone,
The fields divided one by one.
"Take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break
We've been on this shift too long".
{on that part, play the Em Em/F# Em/G Em chords, or this riff}:
{sot} D ------0-------0------0--------0--|
I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
He piloted this song in a plane like that one.
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again.
Field to weed is lookin' thin
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We've been on this shift too long."
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
"Horse To Water"
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?
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.
{section: Chorus}
I'm not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.
{section: Verse}
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?
{section: Chorus}
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
ENDING
I’m Gonna DJ
If death is pretty final, I'm collected vinyl
Cos if heaven does exist with a kickin' playlist
(Same progression as above)
It's on my mind, it's in my mind
It's what I found, oh my my my
When you walk up in Seattle, where you fought the nascent battle
Raise another bottle, raise another bottle
Because death is pretty final, I'm collecting vinyl
(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

Here comes that awful feeling again
Welcome the ugly animal.
I hold my breath to what you sing,
My pyro acrobat ball and chain,
I'm not afraid, I messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up
{section: Riff}
Here comes that awful feeling again
Make way for monster jealousy
The strong man kicked sand into my breakfast cereal bowl
I'd spelled your name with Oatios,
he messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up

If I were you I'd really run from me

and drop a load on your head

you tease, tease, tease me)

I wish to meet each one of you
And you, me, you, if I can and I can
We have many things in common, name three (three, three, three)
I had a hat and it sunk, reached down,
yanked it up, slapped it on my head
All the people gather
Fly to carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days
Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go.
Now I'm not feeding off you I will rearrange your scales
If I can and I can
I wish to eat each one of you and you, me, you
I had a hat and it sunk, reached down,
yanked it up, slapped it on my head
All the people gather
Fly to carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days
Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you...
carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days
Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go.

FEELING GRAVITY'S PULL
{opening riff}
{sot} E ---7--------7--------0--------------------------5har--|
{play the riff but start with the stuff on the 7th fret of
the low E string}
I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph.
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Peel back the mountains peel back the sky
Stomp gravity into the floor
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here
{sot}{The riff is like this:
Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
{start the riff again}
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull
Somewhere near the end it said
"You can't do this", I said "I can too"
Shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Shift the swaying river's shift
Oceans fall and mountains drift
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here
Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes,
holding my head straight (looking down).
This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...
Reason had harnessed the tame
Holding the sky in their arms
Gravity pulls me down

Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet

I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me
What put me here?
Nothing to hold on to
Nowhere to brake

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

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.

Another wife, another morning spent
Listen, listen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engine
We never wrote the reasons that I need explained
Some things are givens, and others get away
This time its for myself you call it what you may
Okay, we won't say goodbye so long, so much more

Lyrics:
I can't see myself at thirty, I don't buy a lacquered thirty
Caught like flies, preserved for tomorrow's jewelery, again
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Preserved for tomorrow's eyes, in tree beer tar-black brer sap,
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost
Who will tend the farm museums? Who will dust today's belongings?
Who will sweep the floors, hedging near the givens?
Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season
Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led?
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, oh man I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
A matter of course, Jefferson, Jeffer
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Sky-lied, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in tree tar-black brer sap,
Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game
Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer, grab your fiddle,
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost

They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts
Reddened their necks, collared their clothes
Then we danced the dance till the menace got out
She gathered the corners and called it her gown
{same as other verses}
They crowded up to Lenin with their noses worn off
A handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got
Metal shoes on wood push through our back
There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "REACT", R-E-A-C-T

Reddened their necks, collared their clothes
Then we danced the dance till the menace got out

You disappear mid-sentence

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

It's been pretty simple so far, vacation in Athens is calling me
And knock, knock, knock on wood, I thought I'd left you behind
Heaven is yours, heaven is yours, heaven's yours where I live

The thought of the catacombs left my soul at home
This letter never sent
And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
  (Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
When I'm moving too fast, where's my new address?

The water is evening now, the catacombs are filling in
If my soul was made of stone, no, not, not so dark, dark

And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost
And it's so far, it's so far, it's so far

Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
 (Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
 (Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)

{section: Chorus chords}

(All these patterns just happen many times over)

Now the hope for the future took a pounding in the parking lot
And the answer for today is all I got
When your name is called the lights went down
The time is the essence excuse me
And I'm blinking at the vanishing point of what I thought

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
God knows I've tried
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes

I greet despair to a standard prayer
If you call for the future I don't care
And I turn you round to face me here
There's a compass raised with a familiar tone
With a voice that needles me to the bone

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
God knows I've tried
I close my eyes
I close my eyes

Whose position shifts cause its been effect
If you can't hit play cause the button sticks
Ignorance is bliss, I can't say
There's a compass raised with familiar tone
With a voice that needles you to the bone
You're left with chaos, static and delay

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
God knows I've tried
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance
God knows I've tried
I close my eyes
I close my eyes

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.

On the Fly
You said that loving me was falling off a log
You always had a way with words
I"m in a barrel over Niagra Falls
I wonder if I am defaced
If I asked of you just one wish
Would you turn on me and take the fifth
Your off again on some epic celebration
Shooting barrels full of fish
You found another hole to waltz into
You found another car to crash
I figured if out that if you served me up
Another of this shall pass
Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside
We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly
Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside
We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly
And I just happened by

I stood there naked by the trains again
Frozen stock still in the yard
A Heron waiting for the fish to jump
I never let down my guard
I"ve been exclusive when it comes to you
I don"t receive at all
I wished I felt the same when you called me late
I almost wished you didn"t call
God knows what I"m looking for
And God knows what I am
Cause Even Jesus had his reservations
I won"t be doubting you again
I won"t be doubting you again
Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside
We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly
Its easy laugh off easy to brush aside
We"re living our lives we"re here on the fly
And I just happened by
I"m living my life, I"m here on the fly
And I just happened by

I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

W[Am]ay to seal the hated h[C]eat.
W[G]ay to put myself to sl[D]eep.
W[Am]ay to shield the hated[C] heat.
W[G]ay to put myself, my ch[D]il[Dsus4]dren to sleep.

He piloted this song in a plane like that one.
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again.
Field to weed is lookin' thin

And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We've been on this shift too long."
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

"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.

{section: Chorus}
I'm not that easy,
I am not your horse to water.
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.

{section: Verse}
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?

{section: Chorus}
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

  {play the riff but start with the stuff on the 7th fret of
   the low E string}

I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph.

Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Peel back the mountains peel back the sky
Stomp gravity into the floor
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
                                        {start the riff again}
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull

Somewhere near the end it said
"You can't do this", I said "I can too"
Shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pul[C]l onto my ey[D]es,
[C]holding my he[D]ad straight (looking down).
T[C]his is the easiest task I've ev[B]er had to do...

I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph

Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Shift the swaying river's shift
Oceans fall and mountains drift
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes,

Reason had harnessed the tame
Holding the sky in their arms

(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?

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]

Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?
Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?

She didn't want to get pinned down by her prior town
Get me to the train on time, here take this nickel make a dime
Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave
What is at the other end, I don't know another friend
Another wife, another morning spent
Listen, listen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engine

We never wrote the reasons that I need explained
Some things are givens, and others get away
This time its for myself you call it what you may
Okay, we won't say goodbye so long, so much more
Listen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engine

Listen to the bargain holler
Listen to the barter holler
Listen to the auctioneer

Get me to the train on time here take this nickel make a dime

Lyrics:

I can't see myself at thirty, I don't buy a lacquered thirty
Caught like flies, preserved for tomorrow's jewelery, again
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Preserved for tomorrow's eyes, in tree beer tar-black brer sap,
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost

Who will tend the farm museums?  Who will dust today's belongings?
Who will sweep the floors, hedging near the givens?
Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season
Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led?
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, oh man I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
A matter of course, Jefferson, Jeffer

Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Sky-lied, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in tree tar-black brer sap,
Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game
Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer, grab your fiddle,
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost

Maybe you're not the problem
scissors, paper, stone
If you stand and holler, these prayers will talk

She carried ribbons, she wore them out
Michael built a bridge...Michael tore it down
At least it's something you've left behind ek, you were gone

Michael built a bridge... Michael tore it down
If I stand and holler... will I stand alone?

WEST OF THE FIELDS

[Em]Long gone, intuit[D]ion to assume a[F]re g[G]one w[F]hen we try.    [G]
[Em]Dream of  a living  jung[D]le in my way bac[F]k home wh[G]en we die.     [F]             [G]

[Em]West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields.
[Em]Long [G]gone. [Em]Long [G]gone. [Em]Long [G]gone. [Em]Long [G]gone. [Em]West of the fields.

Dreams of Elysian, to assume are gone when we try
Tell now what is dreaming
When we try to listen with your eyes oversimplify

[Em]The [F]animals, how str[Dm]ange.  [G]  [C]  [Dm] Try,[F] try to stick it in.[G]
[Em]The [F]animals, how str[Dm]ange.  [G]  [C]  [Dm] Try,[F] try to stick it in.[G]

Dreams of Elysian, to assume are gone when we try
Tell now what is dreaming when we try.
Listen through your eyes when we die.

West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields. West of the fields.
Long gone. Long gone. Long gone. Long gone. West of the fields.

It's what I want, hurry and buy,
all has been tried, follow reason and buy,
Cannot shuffle in this heat, it's all wrong
Try to put that on your sleeve it's all wrong it's all wrong

He's got a pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
God damn, pure confusion
She's got pretty persuasion

It's what I want, hurry and buy,
all has been tried, follow reasoning,
And I put that in this heat it's all wrong
Try to wear that on my sleeve it's all wrong all wrong

He's got a pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
God damn, pure confusion
He's got pretty persuasion

In the line of heart,
All is peeling away,

It's what I want, hurry and buy,
all has been tried, follow reason and buy,
Try to put that in this heat it's all wrong
Cannot wear that on your sleeve it's all wrong it's all wrong
