--Bad TV--

Intro
C

C                          
I've been staring at your shoes all night
         G          
thinking how did you walk through my life 
        Am
without me ever knowing that 
        F
we both hate all the same things 
            C
and now I'm wondering where you will walk next 
G
maybe to an apartment complex 
   Am
in New Jersey or Tennesee 
             F
or somewhere else I never ever ever thought you'd be. 
C  G            C    
Or maybe you'll be right here, 
G  F            C 
or maybe you'll be right here, 
G  F            C
or maybe you'll be right here 
G          F               C
next to me watching bad TV



--Younger Games--

Intro
A, C#m, D, F#m, G

Verse
A          C#m               D
Resting on rooftops sneaking cigarettes from your mothers purse again 
A  C#m       D             F#m  G
13 held such awkward days 
A        C#m           D
Counting stars wishing one of them would fall on your house,
      A                 C#m                   D     F#m G
maybe then you'd have a story you're proud to tell

Chorus
A  C#m D        C#m        D 
        Younger days, they seem so far away
A  C#m D                         C#m              D
        But certain stories will bring me back to that familiar 
A  C#m D        C#m             D
pain    Younger days, they seem miles and miles 
A  C#m D                       C#m                   Bm           A
away    But certain faces will bring me back to that awful rotten place

A, C#m, D, F#m, G

A               C#m           D
I remember your mother having sex in her bedroom with her new lover 
A                C#m                D     F#m  G
while we watched reruns of Pete and Pete
A         C#m               D                         A
I left my innocence at your doorstep from that day on 
              C#m                  D               F#m  G
the world was scary I didn't trust anyone or know anyone

Chorus
A  C#m D        C#m        D 
        Younger days, they seem so far away
A  C#m D                         C#m              D
        But certain stories will bring me back to that familiar 
A  C#m D        C#m             D
pain    Younger days, they seem miles and miles 
A  C#m D                       C#m                   Bm             A    A
away    But certain faces will bring me back to that fucking rotten place



--Time and Place--

Intro
C, Am, G, F, C, Am, G

Verse
C        Am         G         F           C            G                   
 Great escapes have made up a third of my time on this place 
    Am             G                G              F
and most of it's a blur and now I'm falling out of love 
         G                F                       C
with the idea that if you don't like it just run away

C, Am, G, F, C, Am, G
            C              Am       G     
 The phrase time and place seems so dumb 
        C              Am            F
when my time and place changes every month 
            G               F
And now I'm feeling like my roots are showing 
     G                    F                 G
if I don't find dirt I'll just stop growing

Chorus 
     C            G           F           
I've never really cared about solution or remedy 
     C           G       F
I'll take what I get and hope it don't upset me 
C            G                 F        
Now I'm done feeling like this can't be wrong 
    C             G        F                  C G F
I'm doing this to me but I hope that you come along 
     C G F
come along 
     C G F
come along 
     C G F
come along

End on C

Intro
B, F#, E

Verse
B              Ebm   E                F#            B
 The lines are blurry they're hard to make out as a ? 
               Ebm   E                 F#                     B
and what's the hurry, and what's the importance in what makes me
          Ebm               E
Less of a man and more of a mystery
    F#                           B          Ebm
And why the hell do we let these things define how we talk to each other
   E            F#
We talk to each other

Chorus
B           F#             B                 E                           B
 These hands they are mine but I'm not quite sure what they're connected to 
             F#            E
And these hands they are mine
B           F#             B                 E                           B
 These hands they are mine but I'm not quite sure what they're connected to 
             F#            E
And these hands they are mine

Bridge
Abm         F#                   E    F#
 Under what rock did you find the nerve 
   Abm            F#          E    F# 
to tell me what I think I just heard
     B             F#       E          B                F#       E
If I came from your lover's womb, what colour would you paint my room?
          Abm      F#      E     F#
Would you paint it pink or blue?


Chorus
B           F#             B                 E                           B
 These hands they are mine but I'm not quite sure what they're connected to 
             F#            E
And these hands they are mine
B           F#             B                 E                           B
 These hands they are mine but I'm not quite sure what they're connected to 
             F#            E
And these hands they are mine


End on B



--Square Feet--

Intro
G, C x4

Verse
G              D/F#          C 
  I think we've both a little scared
G            D/F#        C 
  I think we may be unprepared
G               D/F#        Em               C 
  I think we're both a little unaware of our faults 
        D               G
and our strength to overcome them

Pre-Chorus
C                                              D 
  We've been running the same speed around the track
          C                            D 
But if you need to run ahead just drop back
                         G           C        G
I'll be happy to do just that
        C                G           C        G                 
I'll be happy to do just that

Verse
G                 C 
  I'm okay if you think you're not ready
G                 C 
  I'm okay if you need the space you need
G                C 
  I'll be okay if you're okay
G                   C                          G
  Can I still sleep over when your parents are gone?

Em       G             C
  Lonely, lonely nights keep on knocking me down
Em       G             C   
  Lonely, lonely nights seem less and less since you've been around
Em           G                  C                             Em
  It's clich? but we've got our whole lives to say goodbye to those
       G        C
Lonely lonely nights

Pre-chorus
C                                              D 
  We've been running the same speed around the track
          C                            D 
But if you need to run ahead just drop back
                         G           C        G
I'll be happy to do just that
        C                G           C                         
I'll be happy to do just that

End on G

Hey Michael could you help me better understand 
     F#              E                 Abm         A        E
your tendancy for dishonesty I've been looking for years on end 
            B    F#  E               Abm       A            B
It's got me thinking maybe you've got a lot of hate in your guts 
          F#                   E               
And maybe you find pleasure in being an asshole

     Best of luck

Verse
B              F#               A                     F#
 Self-worth is hard to find but never seen someone so quick to deny 
B                 F#
Hating the mirror hating the thought of 
A             F#
    looking inside

Chorus
B      A      E                B     A      E
Break, break away it's time to break break away 
B      A      E                B     A      E
Break, break away it's time to break break away 
B      A      E
Break, break away

Break, break away

I appreciate what you thought was a compliment 
  A             B                 E
I hope you understand why I'm not smiling 
E           B                     A              E   
We've never been close I've never told you how I feel
    A          B                             E
I'm not really sure why you think this needs fixing

Pre-Chorus
A      B           E          Ebm  E 
 Maybe you've been misinformed
A      B               E  Ebm  C#m  B
 Maybe you just had it easy

A             B            C#m       B          A              B
  Pointing it out makes it seem like I've got a problem well I do

A problem with you
               E    B   A

  Anger ain't a big part of me but lately I've been feeling like 
G               A                 G
 I wanna take a bat right to your skull 
                     A              G         A
break your teeth and keep them in a box on my desk 
            G       A         G 
so when I'm feeling sad I can count them and know 
       E                          A
you're eating your food through a straw
