Cherry picking through the stars

Waiting for the break of dawn

To start its morning crawl

Polluted rays of filtered light

Happy birthday to the war

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

Caravanning on the moonlit
Locust covered trail

Exploding from the well

Slipping through the whirlpools

Of trees and floating cars
A5
Behind a winter coated mule

Down record breaking falls

Into oblivion's open jaws
Standing by the wall

Goes the passenger sitting backwards

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
C5
As we're plowing through these laws of nature
G5 D5
Disregarding every acre
C5
I'm lying in my Sunday best

Assuming this was 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

Here comes your drunken marionette
A5 B5 E5
Dragging his mess of threads
A5 B5 E5 A5
There at the bar pulling smoke to his lungs
B5 E5
He says, "Who will ignore me when you're 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?"

Be still the wooden heart

With the drunken marionette
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?"

Quarter moon on a city grown thick
C5 G5 B5
With good advice that won't stick
E5 D5
From the ballrooms to the suburbs
C5
And the abandoned mines
B5
Atlantis may be rising but we're all 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

D5 C...G....B7....E5
We're already there
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

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

Back to your trenches, back to California
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

We're on our way back to California

We've got California in our eyes

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

Fire on the porch on a summer's night

All of my things are there inside

Black smoke rise up, burn on burn higher

C5
Dogs in the meadows barking wild
G5 B5
Blackbird rise up, tell me what have you 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
C5
From the bottom of my heart
G5
Comes a cold dark feeling
B5
There is nothing but dust
E5
In the layers I'm 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

Last night I dreamt one thousand lies

I could see the dawn through a different set of eyes
G5 D5 E5
There in my slumber passing time
C5 D5 E5
Long live the world resting on its side

Your hand in my mine

B5 E5
Last night I lived more than one thousand lives
D5 G5 (to intro)
Not one of them survived
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

If we could do better I know that we would

You play your fiddle, baby, I'll play dumb
(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
