Song 1: Emoticons
No Capo
[Intro]
E B D A
[Verse 1]
EIt's tough to stay objective bBaby
With your tongue abseiling down my F#mneck
It's a bullet-proof offer and I can't Aaccept
EIt's tough to maintain focus Bbaby
Now all my elephants are in the F#mroom
We crave the fiction when we need the Atruth
AYou need to find a different boy's heart to Echew
BChew
[Chorus]
DAnd all these emoticons and words
ATry to make it better but they only make it worse
[Verse 2]
EIt's tough to feign indifference Bbaby
Now I'm spending all the money I F#mhave
Trying to impress you is kinda driving me Amad
EAnd I don't blame the pressure or the vultures in the sky
BmI blame what happened everytime we're under neon lights
F#mWe crave the tension in a room with a view
AYou need to find a different boy's heart to Echew
BChew
[Chorus]
DAnd all these emoticons and words
ATry to make it better but they only make it worse
[Instrumental]
E B
[Chorus]
DAnd all these emoticons and words
AFail to make it better their attempts just make it worse
F#m
[Verse]
C#mIt's everything I want
BAnd nothing I can keep F#m
C#mAnd behind these metaphors
BI want you literally
F#mWe crave the fiction when we need the Atruth
AYou need to find a different boy's heart to Echew
BChew
[Chorus]
DAnd all these emoticons and words
ATry to make it better but they only make it worse
[Outro]
EBut I like it here so much I might Bstay
The edge of nowhere is such a beautiful F#mplace
The edge of nowhere is such a beautiful Aplace

Song 3: Greek Tragedy
Capo 4
[Intro]
Em7, Cadd9, G, D
[Verse]
WEm7e're smashing mCadd9ics in karaoke bars G
You're running lateD with half your makeup on
Em7This method actiCadd9ng might pay our billGs
But soon enoughD they'll be a different role to fill
[Chorus]
AmI love this feeling
GBut I hate this part
DI wanted this to work so much
I drew up our plans on a chart
Em7Cars are flippingCadd9, I'm in hot pursuit
GMy character's strongD, but my head is loose
Cadd9She hits like ecstasy G D
Comes up andCadd9 bangs the senseAm out of me
[Instrumental]
Em7, Cadd9, G, D
[Verse]
Em7The tarot cardCadd9s say it's not so bad
GAnd the blades rotateD, there's just no landing pad
Em7And better have said iCadd9t, but darling you're the best
GI'm just tired of Dfalling up the penrose steps
[Chorus]
AmI hate this feeling
GBut I love this part
DShe really wants to make it work
And I clearly want to let it start
AmWe'll build a waterslide
GAs soon as I getD home
[Verse]
Oh and she Cadd9hits like ecstasy G D
Comes up andCadd9 bangs the sense ouAmt of me
It'sEm wrong, but surely Dworst to leave
And she Cadd9hits like Amecstasy
(Palm mute G for the build up)
So free up the cheaper seats
Here comes the Greek Tragedy
[Outro]
Em7, Cadd9, G, D

Song 5: Headspace
No Capo
[Intro]
CHeadFspace, I need a route of my GheadAmspace
Cause it's a war in Ghere and I Cneed you Ftake
Take her out of my GheadAmspace G
[Verse]
Gonna Cdrive, drive, drive this CadillGac
Up the Focean road until it runs out of Ggas
Cause I'm Amhurt
I laugh and I Gjoke but I'm Fhurt G
I'm gonna Csing, sing, sing my new swan sonGg
So all the Fbright young sparks have got a tune they can Ghum
But it'll Amhurt
I'll dance if they Gask but it'll Fhurt
[Chorus]
CHeadFspace I need a route of my GheadAmspace
There's a war in Ghere and I Cneed you Ftake
Take her out of my GheadsAmpace
These G5.5 liters of blood
Have some Fsour taste
For your sweet taste buds
[Verse]
Cause now I Cfeel, feel, feel like a disco Gball
From the F1970's all dusty and Gworn
And it AMhurts, I reflect the Glight, but it Fhurts G
I use to Crun, run, run until my knees gave Gway
I use to Fwrestle with bears and kiss poisonous Gsnakes
I didn't Amcare, they scratch and they Gbite I didn't Fcare
I didn't care
[Chorus]
CHeadFspace I need a route of my GheadAmspace
Cause it's a war in Ghere and I need Csomebody to Fsay
Take her out of my GheadAmspace
These G5.5 liters of blood
Have some Fsour taste
For your sweet taste bGuds
[Outro]
You put a Amwar zone inside me
CAbove and below the Fneck
GAbove and below the neck
C F G Am G C F G Am
CSomeone flick a Flight on
The dark just makes it worse
I'm Grunning out of Amoptions and I'm lost for words
CLittle life Fwrecker, are you gonna let me know?
Or keep Gshowing me the Amcompassion of a talk show host?
I'm not Cacting my Fage here and I'm growing up too fast
If these Gstreets are paved with Amgold
I want my money back
Cause CLiverpool Ffeels like a clouded memory
Now the GCalifornian Amair has wrapped their claws around me
(CHeadFspace, my GheadAmspace)
She wrapped her claws around me
(CHeadFspace, my GheadAmspace)
Song 6: This Is Not A Party
No Capo
[Verse 1]
DLulu's doing haircuts though I don't think she can see
GBrendan's found a song to match the pace of his heartbeat
EmWhy do I do this? Why do I do this at Dall?

GCharlie's coming onto every person he can touch
EmWhy does this happen every time?
GI dream in Technicolor and live in black and white
[Chorus]

D G Bm D A F#m G
[Verse 2]
DRoxy's made the call although her boyfriend wants to go
GJane's sprawled on the floor and I have lost all self-control
EmWhy does this happen, why must it be?
I Gdream of space and time and wake up in 2D
[Chorus]
DThis is not a party, it's a hurricane
GThis is not a party, it's a hurricane
EAnd no one really cares so let's Gpretend we're all okay
DThis is not a party, it's a hurricane
[Bridge]
EmYou're complicatedD
EmYou're complicatedD
EWhy so complicatedBm? A
But Emdon't lose sleep, don't worry about me
I'm just Gfishing for the moon in an artificial sea
[Chorus]
DThis is not a party, it's a hurricane
GThis is not a party, it's a hurricane
EmAnd I don't really care and I am Gnever gonna change
DThis is not a party, it's a hurricane
DThis is not a party, it's a hurricane
GThis is not a party, it's a hurricane
EmAnd I don't really care and I am Gnever gonna change
DThis is not a party, it's a hurricane

Song 9: The English Summer
Capo 4
EMaybe it’s the English summer
CMaybe it’s the atmosphere
C#but it’s got me seeing stars when I’m with you
EMaybe this is all theatrics
CMaybe it’s very clear
A (B) A Asus C
That I’m dripping over your every single move
EAnd there’s an animal inside ofD me A
AAnd he’s feeding of every word youAm say
Ehe pulls my hair, heD coerceAs me
AInto a world where romance is just aC game
BThis awkward feeling is getting in theE way
|E|
EMaybe it’s about your future
CMaybe it’s about your past
C# (B) (C#)
But Sweetheart it’s just the present that needs some glue
EMaybe I should play the percentage
CMaybe I should do the math
A (B) A Asus C
So on paper I’m way too soft a touch for you
EAnd there’s an animal inside ofD me A
AAnd he’s feeding of every word youAm say
Ehe pulls my hair, heD coerceAs me
AInto a world where romance is just aC game
EAnd there’s an animal inside ofD me A
AAnd he’s feeding of every word youAm say
Ehe pulls my hair, heD coerceAs me
AInto a world where romance is just aC game

No Capo

I've Bgot the cash if you've got the hugs
It's Bbeen a rough week, it's been an unproducEtive month
I Bswapped contact with reality for a Bcountry house
In a bright translucent Edaydream

How can Ayou waltz through my bloodstream
And then never Ecall?
You make me Bshake, like a waveF#form
You're my Awork of modern art and I want Emore

Don't you get F#bored, of them giving you Enothing
I only press F#pause when you press play in my Estomach
