Not Alone
They said it don't get cold here
But I beg to differ now
There is something in the shadows
More than sister silhouette
Something sinister and strange
That I haven't seen yet

I'm not alone
You don't have to fight the bad guys
Throwing punches out into the black
If you have to tell me lies, I don't care
Just give me some good back
{section: Chorus}
I'm not alone
{section: Bridge}
Worry 'bout it, worry 'bout it
Breaking down, breaking down
Do without, do without

I'm not alone

You won't need to guess who, since I usually do not send

[F]No words, My [C]tears w[G]on't make any ro[Am]om for more,
And it d[F]on't hurt,[C] like a[G]nything I've ever f[Am]elt before, this is
[F]No broken heart[C], No famili[G]ar scar[Am]s,
This terr[F]itory [C]goes unch[G]arted...     [Am]

[F]Just me, in [C]a room sunk[G] down in a house in a [Am]town, and I
[F]Don't breath[C]e, no I never m[G]eant to let it [Am]get away from me
Now, I've to[F]o muc[C]h to hold, everybody has to get[G] their hands o[Am]n gold,
And I want unch[F]art[C]ed.     [G]           [Am]

[F]Stuck under the ceiling I made, I can't help but fe[G]eling...

I'm going [C]down,
[Am]Follow if you want to, I won't just h[F]ang around,
Like you'll sho[G]w me where to go,
I'm already out,[C] fo[Am]olproof idea, so don't ask m[F]e how
To get start[G]ed, it's all[Dm] uncharted...

[F]Each day, cou[C]ntin'[G] up the minutes, till I[Am] get alone, 'cause I
Can't s[F]tay[C] In the mid[G]dle of it all, i[Am]t's nobody's fault, but I'm
[F]So lonely, [C]Never knew how much I didn't know, [G]       [Am]
[F]Oh, e[C]verything[G] is uncharted. [Am]

[F]I know I'm getting nowhere, when I only sit and star[G]e like..
I'm going [C]down,
[Am]Follow if you want to, I won't just h[F]ang around,
Like you'll sho[G]w me where to go,
I'm already out,[C] fo[Am]olproof idea, so don't ask m[F]e how
To get start[G]ed, it's all[F] uncharted...

[Am]Jump start my kaleidosc[Am/G#]ope heart,
[G]Love to watch the colors fade,
They may not ma[F]ke sense,
But they su[E]re as hell made me.
[Am]I won't go as a pas[Am/G#]senger, no
[G]Waiting for the road to be laid
Though I may be[F] going down,         [C]
I'm taking fla[F]me over burning out   [E]

[F]            [C]                  [G]
[Am]Compare, where yo[F]u are t[C]o where you want to be, and you'll get no where

I'm going [C]down,

[Am]Follow if you want to, I won't just h[F]ang around,
Like you'll sho[G]w me where to go,
I'm already o[C]ut, of[Am] foolproof ideas, so don't a[F]sk me how
To get start[G]ed, ohhh...

I'm going [C]down,
[Am]Follow if you want to, I won't just h[F]ang around,
Like you'll sho[G]w me where to go,
I'm already out,[C] fo[Am]olproof ideas, so don't ask [F]me how
To get started, [G]it's all uncharted...

Gonna Get Over You

[C]Goodbye, Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Layin' down the law th[C]at[C/B] I l[Am]ive by,
Though maybe next time  [C]

[C]I've got a thick tongue,
Brimming with the words that go unsung
Simmer then the [C]bu[C/B]rn f[Am]or a someone,
A wrong [Bb]one

And I te[F]ll myself to let the story end,         [G]
My heart[Em] will rest in someone else's han[Am]d
My 'why [F]not me?' philosophy began,    [G]

And I say

[C]Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?        [Am]
I'll be alright,[F] just not tonight       [G]
[C]Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay[Am]
I'll be alright,[F] just not tonight,      [G]
[C]Someday

[C]Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me when I'm hurting[C] a[C/B]nd m[Am]ake me,
[C]Hang from your hands

[C]Well, no more, I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door
If I make it at the thou[C]gh[C/B]t of[Am] you, what for?
[Bb]It's not me anymore

[F]And I'm not the girl that I intend to be,       [G]
I dare y[Em]ou darling, just you wait and se[Am]e
But this time no[F]t for you but just for me,        [G]
And I say

[C]Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?        [Am]
[F]I'll be alright, just not tonight       [G]
[C]Someday, oh I wish you'd want me[Am] to stay
[F]I'll be alright, just not tonight,      [G]
[Fm]Someday

say it's coming soon,   [C]
[Am]Someday without you,
[F]All I can do is get me past the [G]ghost of you,

[Fm]Wave goodbye to [C]me,
[Am]won't say I'm sorry,
I'll be alright
[F]once I find the other si[G]de of
someday [C]

[C]oo[Am]hoo[F]ho[G]oo[C]ho[Am]oho[F]oh[G]. . .

But the [C]truth is you've [G]been hiding from it [D]too

[C]I'm not the one who's lost
[Dm]With no direction, oh

You're so [C]busy making maps
With my [Dm]name on them in all [Am]caps
You got the talking [F]down, Just not the listening

Ma[Bb]chine gun[C]

Not Alone
[Cm] [C]  [Cm] [B]  [Cm] [Bb]
[Cm]/[A], [Cm]/[Ab], [G].)

[Cm]It [C]comes calling in[Cm] th[B]e evening
[Cm]Whe[Bb]n the temperature is dropping out  [Cm]     [A]
[Cm]/[Ab]                             [G] {stop}
They said it don't get cold here
But I beg to differ now

There is something in the shadows
More than sister silhouette
Something sinister and strange
That I haven't seen yet

{section: Chorus}
And I don't want to [Eb]be al[G]one
[Cm]Sky, don't let the sun go[Ab]
I'm not [Eb]ready for the darkness
[G]Swear upon a heartless [Cm]soul

And I don't want to [Eb]cry when you [G]go
[Cm]Stay a little longer, you [Ab]know
You're making me f[Eb]eeel [G]   [G]
I'm not alone

You don't have to fight the bad guys
Throwing punches out into the black
If you have to tell me lies, I don't care
Just give me some good back

{section: Chorus}
And I don't want to [Eb]be al[G]one
[Cm]Sky, don't let the sun go[Ab]
I'm not [Eb]ready for the darkness
[G]Swear upon a heartless [Cm]soul

And I don't want to [Eb]cry when you [G]go
[Cm]Stay a little longer, you [Ab]know
You're making me f[Eb]eeel [G]   [G]
I'm not alone

{section: Bridge}
And if I only [Ab]worry 'bout it
Worry 'bout it, worry 'bout it
I just keep [Eb]breaking down
Breaking down, breaking down

Boy, I could [Ab]do without
Do without, do without
A night of the [G]bad dreams, [G]sad things
[G]  Tell me what that [G]means

{section: Chorus}
And I don't want to [Eb]be al[G]one
[Cm]Sky, don't let the sun go[Ab]
I'm not [Eb]ready for the darkness
[G]Swear upon a heartless [Cm]soul

And I don't want to [Eb]cry when you [G]go
[Cm]Stay a little longer, you [Ab]know
You're making me f[Eb]eeel [G]   [G]
I'm not alone

{section: Chorus}
All I [G]have, all I[A] need, he's the[D] air I would kill to[G] breathe
Holds my [G]love in his[A] hands, still I'[D]m searching for [G]something
Out of [G]breath, I am left hoping[A] someday I'll breathe again [D]

[A]   I'll breathe again  [Em]           [Bm]

[D] [A] [Em] [Bm]

Open [D]up next[A] to you and my [Em]secrets become [Bm]your truth
And the [G]distance between that was[A] sheltering me com[Bm]es in full view
Hang my [D]head, break my [A]heart built from [Em]all I have [Bm]torn apart
And my [G]burden to bear is a[A] love I can't carr[Bm]y anymore

{section: Chorus}
All I [G]have, all I[A] need, he's the[D] air I would kill to[G] breathe
Holds my [G]love in his[A] hands, still I'[D]m searching for [G]something
Out of [G]breath, I am left hoping[A] someday I'll breathe again

[C]It[G] hu[F]rt[Bb]s to be here
[C]I [G]on[F]ly[Bb] wanted love from you
[C]It[G] h[F]ur[Bb]ts to be here
[G]What am I gonn[A]a do?

All I [G]have, all I[A] need, he's the[D] air I would kill to[G] breathe
Holds my [G]love in his[A] hands, still I'[D]m searching
All I [G]have, all I[A] need, he's the[D] air I would kill to[G] breathe
Holds my [G]love in his[A] hands, still I'[D]m searching for [G]something
Out of [G]breath, I am left hoping[A] someday

[D]I'll breathe again

Bluebird
[C]Word came [C/Bb]through in a[Dm] letter

[C]One of us [C/Bb]changing our[Dm] minds

          [C]             7/[Bb]        [Dm]/[A]    [Fm6]/[Ab]
You won't need to guess who, since I usually do not send

[F]Letters to me that are [Fm/Ab]mine

[C]Told him [Gm]I s[Bb]aw this [Dm]coming

That I'd [C]practically [Gm]pac[Bb]ked up my [Dm]things

I was [C]glad at the [Gm]tim[Bb]e that I'd [F/A]said I was [Fm/Ab]fine but

All [F]honesty knows- I wasn't [Fm/Ab]ready, no

[Csus4]And so[F] h[Csus4]ere we[E] go [Csus4]bluebi[D]rd

[C]Back to the [Am7]sky on your [Em]own

[Csus4]Oh, le[F]t [Csus4]him go[E] b[Csus4]luebir[D]d

[Csus4]Ready [F]to fly

[Csus4]You an[G]d I, here we [C]go  [Gm]     [Bb]          [Dm]

Here we [C]go  [Gm]     [Bb]          [Dm]

[C]This pair of [Gm]win[Bb]gs worn and [Dm]rusted

From [C]too many [Gm]yea[Bb]rs by my [Dm]side

They can [C]carry me [Gm]swe[Bb]ar to be

[F/A]Sturdy and [Fm/Ab]strong but see

[F]Turning them on still means [Fm/Ab]goodbye

[Csus4]And so[F] h[Csus4]ere we[E] go [Csus4]bluebi[D]rd

[C]Gather your [Am7]strength and [Em]rise up

[Csus4]Oh, le[F]t [Csus4]him go[E] b[Csus4]luebir[D]d

[Csus4]Oh, le[F]t [Csus4]him go[E] b[Csus4]luebir[D]d [Csus4]       [E]

[Csus4]Oh, le[F]t [Csus4]him go[E] b[Csus4]luebir[D]d

[Csus4]Ready [F]to fly, [Csus4]you an[G]d I

Here we g[C]o [C7]    [Bb]       [Dm]

Here we g[C]o [Gm]    [Bb]       [Dm]

Here[C] we [Gm]go [Bb]     [F/A]          [Fm/Ab]                 [C]
