[G]Cherry picking through the stars
And [Em]falling cannonballs
[Am]Waiting for the break of dawn
To s[C]tart its morning crawl

[G]Polluted rays of filtered light
[Em]Tropical and warm
[Am]Making shadows through
The snow white r[C]esin covered s[D]kulls
Happy [C]birthda[D]y to the [Em]war   [D]

Standing [C]by the wall
A r[Am]ainbow made of stars
Under [G]seven different shades of grey
Spreading [F]out across the arc
Days of [C]wonder spent
[Am]Out there killing time
Now this [Dm]may not leave a mark on me
But I [Fm]sure as hell was there

(intro G, and the intro lick thing)

[G]Caravanning on the moonlit
Locust covered trail
We c[C]ame out like a stream of bats
[Em]Exploding from the [D]well
[G]Slipping through the whirlpools
Of [Em]trees and floating cars
[Am]Behind a winter coated mule
Down r[C]ecord breaking fa[D]lls
Into o[C]blivio[D]n's open [Em]jaws [D]

Standing by the wall
A rainbow made of stars
Under seven different shades of grey
Spreading out across the arc
Days of wonder spent
Out there killing time
Now this may not leave a mark on me
But I sure as hell was there

Happy Birthday to the war

Days of wonder spent
By a rainbow made of stars
Under seven different shades of grey
Spreading out across the arc
Standing by the wall
Out there killing time
Now this may not leave a mark on me
But I sure as hell was there

(piano interlude..chords same as guitar solo then..)

[G]Educated under God
To walk a neutral line
[C]Give me neither poverty
Nor [G]riches in my time
Take my body and my mind
My heart is far behind
With a [C]dozen poems in my ears
[Em]Ricocheting [D]wild

(Intro chords and lick to fade out)

[G]Permission now to let this [C]thing land
I'm too[D] far gone to know where [G]I am
Conditions are worse than w[C]e planned
Perm[D]ission now to let this t[C]hing lan[G]d

[G]Heading straight into the b[C]lackness
[G]Beyond the point of ever t[C]urning back
[G]Slipping off the radar through a [C]hole in space
Goes the p[D]assenger si[C]tting backwa[G]rds

Adam took the apple, I was not involved
I'm not responsible for how lost we are
Batten down the hatches, extinction calls
But Adam took the apple, I was not involved

Heading straight into the blackness
Way beyond the point of ever turning back
Slipping off the radar through a hole in space
Goes the passenger sitting backwards

[D]May be a rumble
[G]Maybe nothing [C]more
[D]Maybe a thunder
[G]There before s[C]he blows
Maybe [F]not a big bang
But just a [D]little white noise

[Bb]     [Eb]       [F]     [Bb]    [Eb]     [F]     [D]

Into the furnace of red twilight
Threading like a needle through searchlights
Fading further and spinning right
Into the furnace of red twilight

Heading straight into the blackness
Too far gone, now there's no turning back
Slipping off the radar into a hole in space
Goes the passenger sitting backwards

[G]Tomorrow is gonna make you [Bm]cry
It's gonna make you [Em]kneel
Before it [Cm]breaks you from inside
Still pressing o[G]n
Arm over a[Bm]rm
Still trying [Em]to get both feet back [Cm]on to the ground
They are [C]harvesting these fields in autumn
We're d[G]ifferent now than wh[D]en we started

[G]I am ready to wake [Em]up
There in the [Am]exodus
On the beautiful side of so[Dsus2]mewhere[D]     [Dsus4]              [D]

There on the pavement underneath the yellow moon
I think of you and just how easily we bruise
A folded address in my pocket I have stopped
Trying to believe for you that the bottom didn't drop
I am on the platform, covered with dust
I pray they take the both of us

I am ready to wake up
There in the exodus
On the beautiful side of somewhere

I am ready to come down
And see us both somehow
On the beautiful side of somewhere, someday

I am lighting matches for the rescue
Some are candles, some are fuses
Acting on my best behavior
Switching over every breaker
As we're [C]plowing through these laws of nature
[G]Disregarding ev[D]ery acre
I'm l[C]ying in my Sunday best
[G]Assuming this was [D]not a test

I am ready to wake up
There in the exodus
On the beautiful side of somewhere
I am ready to come down
And see us both somehow
On the beautiful side of somewhere, someday
On the beautiful side of somewhere, someday

exact, i don't think they use double stops on the record but it sounds
kind of good to me, you can just take the top note to get the melody

[A]Here comes your [B]drunken marion[E]ette
[A]Dragging his me[B]ss of th[E]reads
[A]There at the [B]bar pulling smo[E]ke to his l[A]ungs
He says, "Who will ig[B]nore me when you're [E]gone?"

Come on lift me up
I wanna dance by your tin cup
A tower of beauty with a split in your tongue
"Who will ignore me when you're gone?"
He says, "Who will ignore me when you're gone?"

Here he [A]com[B]es[E]
Here he c[A]om[B]es[E]
Be still the wooden h[A]eart
That wouldn't ever p[B]art
With the drunken mar[A]ionett[E]e

Been mainlining bad thoughts
Been drinking things I wish I'd not
Intoxicated with sad songs
"Who will forgive you when I'm gone?"

They sing Auld Lang Syne
I've got mutiny on my mind
A guilty conscience means at least you've got one
"Who will forgive you when I'm gone?"
He says, "Who will forgive you when I'm gone?"

Here he comes
Here he comes
Be still the wooden heart
That wouldn't ever part
Who's waiting on a s[F#m]park that hasn't happened y[B]et
For the drunken mario[A]nette [E]

[C#m]Carry o[Ab7]n and turn the l[A]ights low when you[E] go
[C#m]In the h[Ab7]ours left
I h[A]ope you feel
The t[B]hings that I know I wo[E]n't

What you give is what you get
These days I worry about your debt
Who carries evil out
Evil will come
"Who will defend you when I'm gone?"
He says, "Who will defend you when I'm gone?"

Here he comes
Here he comes
Be still the wooden heart
That wouldn't ever part
Who's waiting on a spark
that hasn't happened yet

Here he comes
Here he comes
Be still the wooden heart
That wouldn't ever part
Who's waiting on a spark that hasn't happened yet
For the drunken marionette

Chords (this song is mostly that, there are a few lead parts but doing
all of them would require lots of patience)


[C]Quarter [G]moon on a c[B7]ity grown th[Em]ick
[C]With good a[G]dvice that won't s[B7]tick
From the [Em]ballrooms to the s[D]uburbs
And the a[C]bandoned mines
Atlantis may be rising but we're a[B7]ll out of time

Colored lights on the fire escape
Bodies move behind drapes
The light is uneven and we're safer in pairs
And we're no match for what's waiting
For each of us out there

[G]Whistle baby, w[Cm]hile we walk
[G]Don't say anything, [Cm]do not talk
The j[C]ourney is [C/B]over, it is [Am]time to e[C/B]xhale
[C]Wherever we w[C/B]ere going
[D]We're already ther[C]e   [G]        [B7]              [Em]

It's over the turnstiles and through the guardrails
And into Washington Square
Cause no amount of nightmares would ever compare
To the thought of only silence in this ghost filled air

Whistle baby, while we walk
Don't say anything, do not talk
The journey is over, it's too late to prepare
Why can't you see that, baby
We're already there

Here comes your silhouette
And more pillow talk
Here comes the ticking of these clocks
They say the quickest way to end a war is just to lose
Another chamber locks and I already withdrew

Here comes the booming and the hunger of each night
Here comes the burden of might
This day was not divinely made to leave you impressed
We may become someone someday, but we haven't yet

Whistle baby, while we walk
Don't say anything, do not talk
The journey is over, it's time to repair
Whatever we were building
We're already there

[G]/g#-40003x

[Am]Seems like the world's gone under[C]ground
Where no [G]gods or heroes dare to go [F]down
[Am]As teardrops from a hole in heaven [C]come
Overh[G]ead like ravens dropping down like [F]bombs

[C]                                    [G]  (G/g#)
Through the morning silver-frosted glow
[Am]God says nothing back but I told you s[F]o
I told you s[Am]o

{sot}i    told you so

God bless the void of my daydreams
Head back in the snow making angel wings
As slow motion dancing lights at dawn
Sail beneath a burning yellow sun

I'm calling out from the deep ends of my bones
Time says nothing back but I told you so
I told you so

Still waters rising in my mind
Black and deep, smoke behind my eyes
Last night I could not sleep at all
I hallucinated that you were in my arms

To be in your heart I failed my own
Love says nothing back but I told you so
I told you so

(acoustic guitar solo, maybe someday i'll attempt it.  Theres a lot
of double stops and it eases into a pentatonic i think)

Still here reclimbing every rung
Someone saw something
Someone speak up
Back over the rotted bridge I cross
Open up these graves, let these bodies talk

Buried under leaves blood red and gold
Death says nothing back but I told you so
I told you so

Notes:  This song sounds great if you use arpeggios during the chords

Chords:

[Em]..[B7]...[C]...[G] (x4) to verse [Em]

[Em]Feels like a ghost here in this room
Not the kind that rides a saddle in a costume
All around me, all around you
In from the window for a drag of your perfume

Let's [B7]move b[C]ack to C[G]alifornia
[Em]Let's make a p[B7]romise, baby
Let's[C] both be t[G]here
[Em]Put our[B7] feet d[C]eep in the [G]sands
This ga[A]rden's only got four corners
Back to your [C]trenches, ba[D]ck to Californi[Em]a

The days keep coming and the years overlap
Been crawling all over each other like wet cats
I hear the rebels yelling out in the dunes
And I don't think it's half as funny as I used to

Let's move back to California
Let's make a promise, baby
Let's both be there
Put our feet deep in the sands
Let's leave behind these maps and handguns
We're on our way back to California

[G]We've got California in our[C/G] eyes
Come on and catch us if you c[G]an
With California in our e[C/G]yes

(intro)

Passing down through a valley full of lost sheep
Straight is the gate, narrow is the walkway
Mercury rising and poppies in bloom
This is the kind of thing that I can get used to

Let's move back to California
Let's make a promise, baby
Let's both be there
Put our feet deep in the sand
There's still no shortage in creating bad blood
We're on our way back to California

We've got California in our eyes
Come on and catch us if you can
With California in our eyes
Fast as we can
Back to California
Come on and catch us if you can
Back to California
Fast as we can
Back to California

[Bm]I'm here by my w[G]indow
[D]I am waiting for [A]your parade
[Bm]I will salute [G]you
From [D]above the crowd
As you m[A]ake your way
Y[D]ou won the battle
You've [Daug5]won the war

I [Am] [A] building

[D]All the people look like
[A]Little scars
[D]This day is taking
[Daug5]Forever
[D6]I will never say

Is o[E7]nly pretend
Return to se[G]nder

That is y[Bm]ours
I am [E7]sure
That I am a[G] building
[A]Here without [Bm]doors

[Bm]Fire blazing
On the [G]overpass
[D]Cattle grazing
In f[A]ields of dead grass
[Bm]Last summer was ear[G]thquake weather
[D]By November
This t[A]oo should have passed
[D]I am not moving
[Daug5]I am landlocked
[D6]I am looking through
A t[D7]housand windows spread a[G]cross
A thousand [E7]floors
There in a l[G]andfill
Where E[A]den was be[Bm]fore
But not a[E7]nymore
       [G]
I [Am] [A] building
[A]Here without d[Bm]oors

[D]Did you see me waving to you from [G]above
Things are looking clear now
M[D]y eyes are wide enough to see the way a sniper[G] does
                                (back to verse chords)
Behind the barrel of a good gun

[D]For worse or better
[Daug5]I surrender
[D6]It may not matter
But I'm [D7]sadder than you'll ever k[G]now
I am your i[E7]nferno
Here all in y[G]ellow
With e[A]mbers blowing n[Bm]orth    [E7]
No sense in [G]returning
I'm not w[A]orried any[Bm]more   [E7]
         [G]
I [Am] [A] building
That is h[A]ere without d[Bm]oors

Chords


[Em]Fire on the porch on a summer's night
[C]All of my things are there inside
Black [G]smoke rise up, burn on burn h[B7]igher
[Em]I smell leaves and burning tires
[C]Dogs in the meadows barking wild
Black[G]bird rise up, tell me what have you [B7]done

I'm not drunk and I'm not sad
There's nothing inside that I want back
Let me touch your lips, let me see where you're at
Do you wonder how I am tonight
Then don't lose time looking in my eyes
Not every tear means you're gonna cry

[C]From the bottom of my heart
Comes a cold dark f[G]eeling
There is nothing but [B7]dust
In the layers I'm [Em]peeling

From the bottom of my heart
Beats a rattling drum
Coming up from the depths
Into the rays of the sun

Now under crushing skies of grays
Paralyzed with phantom pains
Before this room became just a place

Where I just sleep through endless days
Spinning webs and carving names
Where thoughts break up, exploding in space

But I once crossed a quarter mile
Through black pools of razor wires
And cut through steel with the edge of a file

While singing rhapsodies in stride
Hell-bent and dignified
Now my time has come, "now who you fooling and why?"

From the bottom of my heart
Comes a cold dark feeling
There is eminent death
To the promise I'm keeping

From the bottom of my heart
Comes an army of one
Marching back up the steps
Into the rays of the sun

Pale-faced and hollowed eyes
Buried under ruptured skies
Not every smile means I'm laughing inside
Two-faced and compromised
I've enraptured you with lies
Everything means nothing and tonight everything is mine

From the bottom of my heart
Comes a cold dark feeling
I have buried so much
In the layers I'm peeling

From the bottom of my heart
A battle will come
Coming up from the depths
Into the rays of the sun

From the bottom of my heart
Comes a cold dark feeling
Wrapped around tight
With no sign of leaving

From the bottom of my heart
A ballad is sung
Through a whisper she comes
Into the rays of the sun

[G]Last night I [D]dreamt one thousand [Em]lies
I could see the[C] dawn through a d[D]ifferent set of e[Em]yes
[G]There in my [D]slumber passing t[Em]ime
Long live the w[C]orld res[D]ting on its s[Em]ide

I walked the [C]orchard with y[G]ou
Your [D]hand in my [Em]mine
[C]In the evergr[G]eens drinking w[B7]ine
I saw the s[Em]now fall in b[D]lack and white
From the a[C]uburn sk[G]y
Last [B7]night I lived more than one thousand [Em]lives
Not on[D]e of them survived[G]

Up through the earth and at dawn I came
I crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rain
In the vacuum of my own brigade
Resurrected to make you mine again

Orpheus looked back once
She sailed the underworld
No second chances will be earned
I have returned as a phantom now
To walk the bow and stern
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
Not one of them survived

[Em]If we could do better I [Bm]know that we would
[C]Maybe admit it now, [G]we're not that [D]good
[Em]We keep the needle between[Bm] zero and one
[C]You play your fiddle, baby, [G]I'll play du[D]mb

(piano solo use verse chords)

Into the pastures of our minds
Goes my nearly beloved and I
Blazing two parallel white lines
Through this broken heart spilt open wide

Time might be on my side
But it's mostly far behind
I was the apple of your eye
Now I'm the boy spinning on a wheel there
Stuck with knives
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
Not one of them survived

[D]All [E]things are new a[F#m]gain

[D]Al[E]l things are new[F#m] again

New shepherd roaming through the tall grass

Clearwater rolling through the dam's collapse
Out to the harbor where they're sailing back
New flag on the mast
Without any secrets, without any past

All things are new again
Within and without
[D]Sooner or l[C#m]ater the ending[F#m] begins
Just [B7]then it can be said that a[D]ll[E] things are new a[A]gain

I'm an unpainted portrai[D]t    [A]           [E]
I am [D]staring at a [A]new suns[E]et

Just then it can be said that all things are new again

Sooner or later every season ends
Then forever it can be said that all things are new again
