GCherry picking through the stars
And Emfalling cannonballs
AmWaiting for the break of dawn
To sCtart its morning crawl
GPolluted rays of filtered light
EmTropical and warm
AmMaking shadows through
The snow white rCesin covered sDkulls
Happy CbirthdaDy to the Emwar D
Standing Cby the wall
A rAmainbow made of stars
Under Gseven different shades of grey
Spreading Fout across the arc
Days of Cwonder spent
AmOut there killing time
Now this Dmmay not leave a mark on me
But I Fmsure as hell was there
(intro G, and the intro lick thing)
GCaravanning on the moonlit
Locust covered trail
We cCame out like a stream of bats
EmExploding from the Dwell
GSlipping through the whirlpools
Of Emtrees and floating cars
AmBehind a winter coated mule
Down rCecord breaking faDlls
Into oCblivioDn's open Emjaws 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

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..)
GEducated under God
To walk a neutral line
CGive me neither poverty
Nor Griches in my time
Take my body and my mind
My heart is far behind
With a Cdozen poems in my ears

Still trying Emto get both feet back Cmon to the ground

GI am ready to wake Emup
There in the Amexodus
On the beautiful side of soDsus2mewhereD Dsus 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 Cplowing through these laws of nature
GDisregarding evDery acre
I'm lCying in my Sunday best
GAssuming this was Dnot 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

ADragging his meBss of thEreads
AThere at the Bbar pulling smoEke to his lAungs
He says, "Who wiBll ignore me when yoEu'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?"

Here he AcomBesE

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?"

CQuarter Gmoon on a cB7ity grown thEmick
CWith good aGdvice that won't sB7tick
From the Emballrooms to the sDuburbs
And the aCbandoned mines
Atlantis may be rising but we're aB7ll 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
GWhistle baby, wCmhile we walk
GDon't say anything, Cmdo not talk
The jCourney is C/Bover, it is Amtime to eC/Bxhale
CWherever we wC/Bere going
D C...G....B7....Em
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
Let's leave behind these maps and handguns
We're on our way back to California
GWe've got California in ourC/G eyes
Come on and catch us if you cGan
With California in our eC/Gyes
(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

EmFire on the porch on a summer's night
CAll of my things are there inside
Black Gsmoke rise up, burn on burn hB7igher
EmI smell leaves and burning tires
CDogs in the meadows barking wild
BlackGbird rise up, tell me what have you B7done
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
CFrom the bottom of my heart
Comes a cold dark fGeeling
There is nothing but B7dust
In the layers I'm Empeeling
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

Long live the wCorld resDting on its sEmide
I walked the Corchard with yGou

D G (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

(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
