Marching Bands Of Manhattan

C		 G
If I could open my arms
D			  F
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan,
C		 	G
I'd bring it to where you are
D		      F
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson
C		   G
If I could open my mouth
D		   F
Wide enough for a marching band to march out
C				G
They would make your name sing
D				F
And bend through alleys and bounce off all the buildings.

F Am C D (x2)
  C			G
I wish we could open our eyes
D		    F
To see in all directions at the same time
C		   G
Oh what a beautiful view
D		           F
If you were never aware of what was around you
C			G
And it is true what you said
D		F	
That I live like a hermit in my own head
C			G
But when the sun shines again
D			 F
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in.
Chorus (x4)
F			Am
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
C			 D
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
F		 	Am
But while you debate half empty or half full
C	
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown

F Am C D
Your love is gonna drown [4x]

Your love is gonna...
C (let note ring)

Soul Meets Body

Intro: Dm C (x2)
Dm		     C
I want to live where soul meets body
Dm			F
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
Dm			   F
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
      C				Dm
And feel, feel what its like to be new
			    F
Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Dm			      F
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
    Dm				F
So they may have a chance of finding a place
	C
where they’re far more suited than here
Dm F C (x4)

Dm			F
And I cannot guess what we'll discover
Dm				F
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
	Dm			F
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s
       C
And not one speck will remain

      Dm	 F	     C
And I do believe it’s true
		Dm	   F		C
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
	  Dm		F
But if the silence takes you
	C		Dm F C
Then I hope it takes me too
	Dm	F	C
So brown eyes I hold you near
		 Dm	            F    C
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
	Dm	F	C			Dm F C
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
  	Dm		F Dm
Where soul meets body
	Dm
Where soul meets body
	Dm
Where soul meets body
      Dm	 F	     C
And I do believe it’s true
		Dm	   F		C
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
	  Dm		F
But if the silence takes you
	C		Dm F C
Then I hope it takes me too
	Dm	F	C
So brown eyes I hold you near
		 Dm	            F    C
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
	Dm	F	C			
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
	Dm
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
	Dm
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
	Dm
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Summer Skin

Intro:  C Bb Dm C Bb Dm C Bb Dm C Bb Dm C Bb
Dm	C	       Bb
Squeaky swings and tall grass 
	Dm	C	Bb
The longest shadows ever cast
 	Dm	C	Bb
The water's warm and children swim 
	Dm	C		Bb
And we frolicked about in our summer skin 
Dm	C	Bb
I don't recall a single care
 	Dm C	    Bb
Just greenery and humid air 
	Dm C	Bb
Then Labor day came and went 
	Dm		C	Bb
And we shed what was left of our summer skin 
Dm C Bb F C Bb (x2)

Dm		C	Bb
On the night you left I came over
 	Dm	    C			Bb
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders 
	Dm	C	Bb
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
	Dm	C	Bb
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
		Dm	C	   Bb
Cause the seasons change was a conduit 
	Dm	C	 Bb
And we left our love in our summer skin

Dm C Bb F C Bb (let ring)

Different Names For The Same Thing"
D Bb G D

D	    Bb	G	   D
Alone on a train aimless in wonder
	D	Bb	G	D
An outdated map crumbled in my pocket
      D	     Bb	          G		D
But I didn't care where I was going
		   Bm	  Bb		G	D
'Cause they're all different names for the same place.
	D	Bb		G		   D
The coast disappeared when the sea drowned the sun
	     D		B	   G   D
And I knew no words to share with anyone
	D	    Bb		G	D
The boundaries of language I quietly cursed
		Bm	F	    G	D
And all the different names for the same things 

Bm F# G D
D (for what seems like an eternity)
	    Bm		F	G	D
There are different names for the same things

There are different names for the same things...

F			Dm
Love of mine some day you will die
	  Bb
But I'll be close behind
	F	        C
I'll follow you into the dark
	F			Dm
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
		Bb
Just our hands clasped so tight
	F		C
Waiting for the hint of a spark
   Dm		    F
If Heaven and Hell decide
	  Bb	    F  F/E
That they both are satisfied
Dm		F		C
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
	     A7	Dm C
When your soul embarks
         Bb	Bbm	   F
Then I'll follow you into the dark
	F			Dm
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
	Bb			F	C
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
	Bb		       Dm
And I held my tongue as she told me
		Bb
"Son fear is the heart of love"
	F	C
So I never went back
   Dm		    F
If Heaven and Hell decide
	  Bb	     F F/E
That they both are satisfied

Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
	     A7	Dm  C
When your soul embarks

Then I'll follow you into the dark
F			Dm
You and me have seen everything to see
		 Bb
From Bangkok to Calgary
	F		C	F
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
		Dm
The time for sleep is now
		Bb
It's nothing to cry about
	       F			C
Cause we'll hold each other soon
	Dm	Bb
The blackest of rooms
   Dm		    F
If Heaven and Hell decide
	  Bb	     F F/E
That they both are satisfied
Dm		F	    C
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
   Dm		F
If there's no one beside you
	     A7	Dm  C
When your soul embarks
         Bb	Bbm	   F
Then I'll follow you into the dark
         Bb	Bbm	   F (let ring)
Then I'll follow you into the dark

With walls of the deepest blue

Home's face: how it ages when you're away

Spring blooms and you find the love that's true

And she stopped running months ago
C

Is where else you could be
	Em	F
When you're at home

The flames and smoke climbed out of every window
        C	      Em		A	       Em		F
And disappeared with everything that you held dear
	Am	     Em	   F		Am	     Em	   F
And you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need
		Am	    Em	F
'Cause you knew you were finally free

All beauty and truth

In the morning I fled

Left a note and it read

Someday you will be loved.
    Gm	Bb		Eb	Gm
I cannot pretend that I felt any regret

As the blood runs red down the needle and thread
Gm		Dm	Gm
Someday you will be loved

You'll be loved you'll be loved
	Eb		Gm
Like you never have known
	Gm	  Bb
The memories of me
	    C
Will seem more like bad dreams
	Gm	Bb
Just a series of blurs
	Eb
Like I never occurred
Gm		Eb	Gm
Someday you will be loved
Bb Eb Gm Bb C Gm

      Gm		Bb		Eb	 Gm
You may feel alone when you're falling asleep

"Crooked Teeth"
Capo on 1st Fret
F   Bb		C#	Ab	     F	Bb	  C#	Ab
It was one hundred degrees, as we sat beneath a willow tree,
	F	   Bb		C#	      Ab		F	Bb    C# Ab
Who's tears didn't care, they just hung in the air, and refused to fall, to fall.
F	Bb		C#	Ab
And I knew I'd made a horrible call,
	F	    Bb		  C#	Ab
And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall,
	F	   Bb			C
And there was no doubt about which side I was on.

F 	Bb C# Ab
hmmm....
F5	Em	     Eb		C
Cause I built you a home in my heart,
	F5   Em		Eb		Bb
With rotten wood, it decayed from the start.
	      C#		Ab	Eb
Cause you can't find nothing at all,
	C#	      Ab		Eb
If there was nothing there all along.
	C#	Ab	       Eb
No you can't find nothing at all,
	C#	       Ab		Eb
If there was nothing there all along.

F Bb C# Ab (x2)

F   Bb	   C#		Ab
I braved treacherous streets,
        F		Bb	C#	    Ab
And kids strung out on homemade speed.
	F	 Bb		C#	Ab
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep,
     F	    Bb		C#   Ab
At all, woo, hoo, woo, hooOoOo.
F	   Bb	    C#	  Ab
Cause at night the sun in retreat,
	  F	Bb	  C#	  Ab
Made the skyline look like crooked teeth,
	F	Bb		C#  Ab		F Bb C# Ab
In the mouth of a man who was devouring, us both.
F5	   Em		      Eb		C
You're so cute when you're slurring your speech,
	      F5		Em	    Bb
But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.
	  C#	    Ab	      Eb
And you can't find nothing at all,
	C#	      Ab	       Eb
If there was nothing there all along.
	C#	  Ab	     Eb
No you can't find nothing at all,
	C#	      Ab	       Eb
If there was nothing there all along.
Bb	  	C
I'm a war, of head versus heart,
	F	     Bb
And it's always this way.
      Bb			C
My head is weak, my heart always speaks,
	F	     Bb
Before I know what it will say.
C# G Eb (x4)

	  C#	    Ab	      Eb
And you can't find nothing at all,
	C#	      Ab	       Eb
If there was nothing there all along.
	C#	  Ab	     Eb
No you can't find nothing at all,
	C#	      Ab	       Eb
If there was nothing there all along.
	  C#	    Ab	      Eb
And you can't find nothing at all,
	C#	      Ab	       Eb
If there was nothing there all along.
		C#	Ab		Eb
There were churches, theme parks and malls,
		C#	Ab	Eb
But there was nothing there all along.

"What Sarah Said"

F G Am E F G Am E F G A E F G Am E
	F			G	   Am		E
And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time
	F			G	Am		E
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU that reeked of piss and 409
	F			G			Am		E
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself that I'd already taken too much today
	F			G			Am   E
As each descending peak on the LCD took you a little farther away from me
F		G Am E
Away from me

F G Am E
		F				G	      Am			E
Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines in a place where we only say goodbye
		F			G		Am		E
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in our minds
		F			G			Am	E
But I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all
		F		G			Am	E
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground as the TV entertained itself
	D		  C			Am E
'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
	D		F	    A	   E
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
		D			C		    A	E
And then the nurse comes round and everyone will lift their heads
	D		F		A		F		C
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said that "Love is watching someone die"
F C F G C
	F	    G		C  E F
So who's going to watch you die?..

         Ab Cm Eb Ab Ab Cm Eb Ab
         Bb B C Bb Ab
         Ab Cm Eb Ab Ab Cm Eb Ab
Ab		   Cm		Eb		Ab
You may tire of me as our December sun is setting because I'm not who I used to be
       Ab			Cm			Eb	 Ab
No longer easy on the eyes but these wrinkles masterfully disguise
		Bb	Ab			Cm
The youthful boy below who turned your way and saw 
		    Eb	Ab
Something he was not looking for: both a beginning and an end 
Ab		    Cm		     Eb		Ab
But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize 
			        Bb			G
When he catches his reflection on accident 
Ab Cm Eb Ab

Ab			Cm
On the back of a motor bike 
		Eb			  Ab
With your arms outstretched trying to take flight 

Leaving everything behind 
Ab			Cm		    Eb			Ab
But even at our swiftest speed we couldn't break from the concrete 
			Bb
In the city where we still reside. 
Ab		Cm		Eb		Ab
And I have learned that even landlocked lovers yearn for the sea like navy men 
Ab			Cm		Eb		Ab
Cause now we say goodnight from our own separate sides 
		        Bb	Eb
Like brothers on a hotel bed 
			Eb
Like brothers on a hotel bed 
			Eb
Like brothers on a hotel bed 
			Eb  Bb
Like brothers on a hotel bed

Ab Cm Eb Ab
Ab Cm Eb Ab

Ab		   Cm		Eb		Ab
You may tire of me as our December sun is setting because I'm not who I used to be

"Stable Song"

Intro: G C D G C Em G F#m E C G F E G
G		C   Am
Time for the final bout
G		C	Am
Rows of deserted houses
G	F	 E	      C	G
All our stable mates highway bound
G		C	Am
Give us our measly sum
G	     C	Am	G	F
Getting the air inside my lungs is heavenly
E	C G	F		E	C	D E C D E
Starting out with nothing but crippling doubt
C       D     Em     B    C G
We'll rest easy justified
	     C	Am    C		C	     Am
Suffered a swift defeat, i'll endure countless repeats
       G	    F		E 	C
The gift of memory is an awful curse
	F	E	    C	       D		C  G A
With age it just gets much worse, but i won't mind
D            C   G A
I won't mind
D            C   G A
I won't mind
D            C   G C Am G
I won't mind
