Am Dm G
C Cbm6
Am Dm G
Am Dm
As I walk through the streets of my new city
G C
my back feeling much better, I suppose
Cbm6 Am Dm
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
G C
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
Cbm6 Am Dm
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
G C Cbm6
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Am
Suddenly I'm lost
Dm
On my street
On my block
G
Oh why, Oh why
C F
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
G C Cbm6
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
Am Dm
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.
Am Dm F
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
G
Be calm.
Am Dm
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
G C Cbm6
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
Am Dm
"I always see you looking out your window."
G C Cbm6
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Am Dm
Now every single crack, every pain that I pass,
G C Cbm6
says I should either leave or pick it up
Am
But with every single buck I've made
Dm
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.
Am Dm F
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
G
Be calm.
C Fbm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Am
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Am Bbm* B* Dm
and e-very--thing's wrong
F Dm
It just gets so hard sometimes
G
Be calm.
Am G Fbm Dm
I don't remember much that night,
C G C G F#* Ab* B*
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Am G Fbm Dm 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 Cbm6
The panhandler or his melody.
Am G Fbm Dm 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.
Am Dm F
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
G
Be calm.
C Fbm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Am
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Am Cbm C Dm
and e-very--thing's wrong
F Dm
It just gets so hard sometimes
G
Be calm.
Am
Be calm.

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

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
C# G# F#
So I call your name, cross my fingers
A#m G# C#
uncross the others, hesitate.
G# D#m G#
Oh I don't think straight with nothing to prove.
F# F* A* G*
I don't wanna say I'm leaving
F* G* C# G# A#m
I'll stay until the weekend.

And you can take all the things;
F# F F#
the boxes and rings

and get going.
'Cause I've been waiting for...
C# G# A#m G#
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
C# G# A#m G#
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
F# C# D#m C#
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
F# C# D#m C#
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
C# G#
So I call you out
F# A#m G# C#
Just to feel a little bit better about myself
G# D#m G#
I do, baby I do, I do, I do
C#
Until their lips start to move,
G#
and their friends wanna talk music
F# F#m
I say "I've never heard the tune!"
C# G#
But I have, I just hate the band
D#m G#
'cause they remind me of you.
F# F* A* G*
Every single night ends up the same,
F* G* C# G# A#m G#
I don't say much at all, but I bring up your name.
F# F# F F#
(Over and over and over)
I think it's striking me out.
C# G# A#m G#
All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.
C# G# A#m G#
Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
F# C# D#m C#
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?
F# C# D#m C#
I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
C#
But not you,
G# A#m G#
you still wear boots and your hair is too long
C# G# A#m G#
and then this one doesn't want to admit she's fallen in love
F# C# D#m C#
Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, what's a boy to do
F# C# D#m C#
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?
D# Fm A#
Turns out I saw them a couple of days ago,
Fm Cm Fm A#
They were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing.
D#
C’mon, can you count all the notches in your belt?
Fm A# A#/C A#/D D#
I'd rather not, let's just say I'm starving myself.

Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper

Oh-oh oh, Oh-uh oh

And they said,

"Hey Nate, yeah it’s been a while,
A#
Are you gonna sing?"
D#
I began to smile and I said,
D# Fm A#
"You should’ve seen me a couple of years ago,
Fm Cm Fm A#
I was laughing and drinking and smoking and singing."
D#
C’mon can you count all the loves that didn’t last?

Had you stuck around or come out to a show,

But youth’s taken over by rock and roll,

While we were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing....
D# Fm A# D#sus4 D#
So I left, That is it. That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.

I don’t keep friends,I keep acquainted,

I’m not a prophet, But I’m here to profit.

That’s all, I’m gone! That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.

Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city

on a Saturday night,
F A# Am D#
all the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."

But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come.

And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.

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

Cb Cb/A# G#m
Slow down,
F# Fb F#
we've got time left to be lazy
Cb Cb/A# G#m F# Fb F#
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
Cb Cb/A# G#m F# Fb F#
We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden
Fb D#m
I don't care to beg your pardon,
C#m F#
We should live
Cb Cb/A# G#m F# Fb F# Cb Cb/A# Cb
until we die.
Cb Cb/A# G#m D#m Fb F#
We were barely eighteen when we'd crossed collective hearts.
Fb D#m C#m F#
It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye.
Cb Cb/A# G#m
and then you turned, put out your hand,
F# Fb F#
and you asked me to dance.
Fb D#m C#m F#
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.
Fb F# Cb Cb/A# G#m F#
I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
Fb F# Cb Cb/A# G#m F#
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
Fb F#
Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
Cb Cb/A# G#m
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
Fb F# Cb Cb/A# G#m F# Fb F# Cb Cb/A# Cb

Cb Cb/A# G#m D#m Fb F#
It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
Fb D#m C#m F#
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
Cb Cb/A# G#m F#
and now he's turning to a man,
Fb F#
although he thinks just like his mother,
Fb D#m C#m F#
he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.
Cb Cb/A# G#m
And even though she moved away,
F# Fb F#
we always get calls from our daughter.
Fb D#m
She has eyes just like her father's
C#m F#
they are blue when skies are grey
Cb Cb/A# G#m F#
And just like him, she never stops,
Fb F#
Never takes the day for granted,
Fb D#m
works for everything that's handed to her,
C#m F#
Never once complains.
Fb F# Cb Cb/A# G#m F#
You think that I nearly lost you
Fb F# Cb Cb/A# G#m F#
When the doctors tried to take you away.
Fb F# Cb Cb/A# G#m F#
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
Fb F#
thirty years ago
Cb
to this day
Fb F#
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
Cb Cb/A# G#m
Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
Fb F# Cb Cb/A# G#m
So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side.
Fb F# Cb Cb/A# G#m F# Fb F# Cb Cb/A# Cb
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.

Cb Cb/A# G#m F# Fb F# Cb Cb/A# Cb
Fb D#m C#m D#m Fb F#
Fb D#m C#m F#
Cb Cb/A# G#m F#
You come home from work
Fb F#
and you kiss me on the eye
Fb D#m C#m F#
You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours
Cb Cb/A# G#m F#
and so we move all to the garden
Fb F#
look at everything we've owned
Fb D#m
now the kids are coming home
C#m D#m Fb F#
so I set the table
Cb
You can make the fire.

See, of everyone who called,
Gm A# G# F D#
Very few said "We believe in you."
G# D#
The overwhelming choice said

I'm just a boy inside a voice
G# G# Gm F D#
and if it's true, if it's true, if it's true,
D# A# Gm A# G#
then what the fuck have I been doing the last six years?

How did I end up here?
Gm A# G#
And I find love and conquer all my fears?

See, I made it out.
Gm A# G#
Out from under the sun.
D# Gm A# G#
And the truth is that I feel better because I've forgiven everyone.

Now I'm not scared

of a song
