A#m D#m G#
C# Cm6
A#m D#m G#
A#m D#m
As I walk through the streets of my new city
G# C#
my back feeling much better, I suppose
Cm6 A#m D#m
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
G# C#
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
Cm6 A#m D#m
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
G# C# Cm6
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
A#m
Suddenly I'm lost
D#m
On my street
On my block
G#
Oh why, Oh why
C# F#
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
G# C# Cm6
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
A#m D#m
This time it's for real, I can see
F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m*
All the trees are turning red
F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F#*
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m*
I think they want something
F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F#*
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
C#
and be calm.
Be calm.
F# C#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
A#m D#m F#
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
G#
Be calm.
A#m D#m
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
G# C# Cm6
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
A#m D#m
"I always see you looking out your window."
G# C# Cm6
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
A#m D#m
Now every single crack, every pain that I pass,
G# C# Cm6
says I should either leave or pick it up
A#m
But with every single buck I've made
D#m
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
G#
the moment I was baptized
F#*
or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
Abm* Bbm* C#* F#* Abm* C#m*
if only I could find my people or my place in life
F#* Abm* Bb* C#m*
then when they come to 'carolin'
F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m*
so loud, so bright, the theremin
F#* Abm* Bbm*
will lead us to a chorus
C#m* G#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F#
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
C#
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
F# C#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
A#m D#m F#
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
G#
Be calm.
C# Fm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
A#m
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
A#m Bbm* B* D#m
and e-very--thing's wrong
F# D#m
It just gets so hard sometimes
G#
Be calm.
A#m G# Fm D#m
I don't remember much that night,
C# G# C# G# F#* Ab* B*
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
A#m G# Fm D#m C#
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
G# C# G# C#
From that street corner came a song
B* C#m* Ebm* E*
And I can't remember the man,
G# C# Cm6
The panhandler or his melody.
A#m G# Fm D#m G#
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
C#
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
F# C#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
A#m D#m F#
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
G#
Be calm.
C# Fm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.

Last week my baby hit the slopes.
B
I spent the weekend setting traps in the road.
I should have been cutting out my eyelids,
E [riff]
you'll never guess what baby did when she got home.
Oh-oh Na na na na na
B
Now at least the birds are singing to me,
but what they're trying to say,
A
I don't know.
(you're beautiful)
G#m
I think they come from the cold
(for all your big mistakes)
A
I think they come from the cold
(you stayed the same)
B
to the city that don't snow.
E
So I drove until we both broke down.
I was stranded in a border town
B
believing the motel TV would bring me to safety,
but between MTV and Mr. O'Reilly
E
I've come to find, that I can't be defined
B
so I turned it off, now convinced I would cross
Took one last look at the gold
E [riff]
as it shattered on a mountaintop
E B
Now I believe the sun, it's like a symphony.
But what it's trying to play,
A
I don't know.
(you're beautiful)
G#m
I think they come from the cold
(for all your big mistakes)
A
I think they come from the cold
(you stayed the same)
B
to the city that don't snow.
E A B
C'mon, Holy ghosts
E A B
When do you come out to play?
E A B
'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me,
A B E
He'd better start looking today.
A E
So I can rise with the river
A E
We all float before we sink
A
We pray for satellites,
E
Pray for courtesy
B A
I pray that it can climb mountains to me!
E A
I say goodbye to the canyon.
E A
I will set sail to the streets
E A B
where I don't care to be forgiven
B A
I want to be forgotten.
E A
I don't care to be forgiven
E A
When Lord I only want to be forgotten!
E A
Singing oh oh oh na na na
E A
Oh oh oh
E A
I'm Singing oh oh oh na na
B A
Oh-oh Oh-oh
E A
I'm Singing oh oh oh na na na
E A
Singing oh oh oh
E A
I'm Singing oh oh oh na na
B A
Oh-oh na na na Oh-oh
B
Now I receive a call from my family
and what they started to say
A
brought me home.
(you're beautiful)
G#m
They think I'm beautiful
(for all your big mistakes)
A B
They think I'm beautiful
(you're beautiful)
E [riff]
for all my big mistakes.
for all my big mistakes.
for all my big mistakes.

Just to feel a little bit better about myself

Until their lips start to move,

and their friends wanna talk music
G Gm
I say "I've never heard the tune!"

But I have, I just hate the band

'cause they remind me of you.

But not you,

you still wear boots and your hair is too long

When all the pretty girls can't measure to you.

Have you ever wondered about our old nu-metal friends and what became of them?
E F#m B
Turns out I saw them a couple of days ago,
F#m C#m F#m B
They were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing.
E
C’mon, can you count all the notches in your belt?
F#m B B/C# B/D# E
I'd rather not, let's just say I'm starving myself.
E
Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper
F#m B B/C# B/D# E
I don’t want no savior baby, I just wanna have a good time
E F#m B E D* D* F#* A*
Oh-oh oh, Oh-uh oh

At least I’m not as sad as I used to be
E
And they said,
D#m E F#m
"Hey Nate, yeah it’s been a while,
B
Are you gonna sing?"
E
I began to smile and I said,
E F#m B
"You should’ve seen me a couple of years ago,
F#m C#m F#m B
I was laughing and drinking and smoking and singing."
E
C’mon can you count all the loves that didn’t last?
F#m E D* D* F#* A*
It’s such a gas when you bring up the past.
E F#m
Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper.

I don’t want no savior baby

I just wanna get it out.

At least I’m not as sad as I used to be
E F#m
And they say we would’ve seen you two years ago
B A* Bm* C#* E
Had you stuck around or come out to a show,
C#m E F#m
But youth’s taken over by rock and roll,
B A G#m F#
While we were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing....
E F#m B Esus4 E
So I left, That is it. That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.
C#m F#m
I don’t keep friends,I keep acquainted,
B
I’m not a prophet, But I’m here to profit.
E F#m B Esus4 E
That’s all, I’m gone! That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.
C#m F#m
I don’t fall in love, I just fake it.
B B/C# B/D# E
I don’t fall in love. I don’t fall in love.

I don't need to be reminded this is how it was.
E F#
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block
E F#
that asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much"
E F#
when the truth is, I'm just getting started.
B
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
E D* E* F#* E* D*
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
B E
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.
E F#
One of us sings, and one of us drinks,
B
and one of us has nothing at all.
E
So he calls us all sheep
F# B
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.
(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)
E F#
Then he swears he's gotta take this call
B A#m E
Man, I'm scared he's gonna leave us too soon.
E
We were the get rich quick kids,
F#
We never got it right
E F#
So we settled for the center in town
E F#
Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight
E F#
got the blond one staring me down.
E F#
and I really wanna take a swing
B A#m E
I can't help but remember James Dean
E F#
See we are part of the few who agree
E
that hey, he lived life fast
F#
but he died.
he died.
he died.
B
Me, I'm gonna live forever.
B E B
(And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive)
B
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
E B
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
and for the first time,
E
in a long time,
B
I feel alive.

C C/B Am
Slow down,
G F G
we've got time left to be lazy
C C/B Am G F G
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
C C/B Am G F G
We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden
F Em
I don't care to beg your pardon,
Dm G
We should live
C C/B Am G F G C C/B C
until we die.
C C/B Am Em F G
We were barely eighteen when we'd crossed collective hearts.
F Em Dm G
It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye.
C C/B Am
and then you turned, put out your hand,
G F G
and you asked me to dance.
F Em Dm G
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.
F G C C/B Am G
I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
F G C C/B Am G
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
F G
Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
C C/B Am
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
F G C C/B Am G F G C C/B C
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.
C C/B Am G F G C C/B C
C C/B Am Em F G
It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
F Em Dm G
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
C C/B Am G
and now he's turning to a man,
F G
although he thinks just like his mother,
F Em Dm G
he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.
C C/B Am
And even though she moved away,
G F G
we always get calls from our daughter.
F Em
She has eyes just like her father's
Dm G
they are blue when skies are grey
C C/B Am G
And just like him, she never stops,
F G
Never takes the day for granted,
F Em
works for everything that's handed to her,
Dm G
Never once complains.
F G C C/B Am G
You think that I nearly lost you
F G C C/B Am G
When the doctors tried to take you away.
F G C C/B Am G
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
F G
thirty years ago
C
to this day
F G
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
C C/B Am
Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
F G C C/B Am
So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side.
F G C C/B Am G F G C C/B C
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.
C C/B Am G F G C C/B C
C C/B Am G F G C C/B C
C C/B Am G F G C C/B C
F Em Dm Em F G
F Em Dm G
C C/B Am G
You come home from work
F G
and you kiss me on the eye
F Em Dm G
You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours
C C/B Am G
and so we move all to the garden
F G
look at everything we've owned
F Em
now the kids are coming home
Dm Em F G
so I set the table
C
You can make the fire.
