Gm Cm F
Gm Cm
As I walk through the streets of my new city
F A#
my back feeling much better, I suppose
Am6 Gm Cm
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
F A#
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
Am6 Gm Cm
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
F A# Am6
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Gm
Suddenly I'm lost
Cm
On my street
On my block
F
Oh why, Oh why
A# D#
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
F A# Am6
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
Gm Cm
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
A#
and be calm.
Be calm.
D# A#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Gm Cm D#
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
F
Be calm.
Gm Cm
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
F A# Am6
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
Gm Cm
"I always see you looking out your window."
F A# Am6
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Gm Cm
Now every single crack, every pain that I pass,
F A# Am6
says I should either leave or pick it up
Gm
But with every single buck I've made
Cm
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
F
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* F* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F#
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
A#
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
D# A#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Gm Cm D#
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
F
Be calm.
A# Dm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Gm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Gm Bbm* B* Cm
and e-very--thing's wrong
D# Cm
It just gets so hard sometimes
F
Be calm.
Gm F Dm Cm
I don't remember much that night,
A# F A# F F#* Ab* B*
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Gm F Dm Cm A#
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
F A# F A#
From that street corner came a song
B* C#m* Ebm* E*
And I can't remember the man,
F A# Am6
The panhandler or his melody.
Gm F Dm Cm F
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
A#
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
D# A#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Gm Cm D#
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
F
Be calm.
A# Dm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Gm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Gm Am A# Cm
and e-very--thing's wrong
D# Cm
It just gets so hard sometimes
F
Be calm.
Gm
Be calm.

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

All the pretty girls on a Saturday night.

So I call your name, cross my fingers
G#m F# B
uncross the others, hesitate.
F# C#m F#
Oh I don't think straight with nothing to prove.

I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
B F#
So I call you out
E G#m F# B
Just to feel a little bit better about myself
F# C#m F#
I do, baby I do, I do, I do

Until their lips start to move,
F#
and their friends wanna talk music
E Em
I say "I've never heard the tune!"
B F#
But I have, I just hate the band
C#m F#
'cause they remind me of you.
E F* A* G*
Every single night ends up the same,
F* G* B F# G#m F#
I don't say much at all, but I bring up your name.
E E D# E
(Over and over and over)
I think it's striking me out.

Let it be, and come to me with the look in your eyes.
E B C#m B
Will you break and take all the words from my mouth?

I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down.
B
But not you,
F# G#m F#
you still wear boots and your hair is too long
B F# G#m F#
and then this one doesn't want to admit she's fallen in love
E B C#m B
Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, what's a boy to do
E B C#m B
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?
C# D#m G#
Turns out I saw them a couple of days ago,
D#m A#m D#m G#
They were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing.
C#
C’mon, can you count all the notches in your belt?
D#m G# G#/A# G#/C C#
I'd rather not, let's just say I'm starving myself.
C#
Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper
D#m G# G#/A# G#/C C#
I don’t want no savior baby, I just wanna have a good time
C# D#m G# C# D* D* F#* A*
Oh-oh oh, Oh-uh oh

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

Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper.

I just wanna get it out.

At least I’m not as sad as I used to be
C# D#m
And they say we would’ve seen you two years ago
G# A* Bm* C#* C#
Had you stuck around or come out to a show,
A#m C# D#m
But youth’s taken over by rock and roll,
G# F# Fm D#
While we were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing....
C# D#m G# C#sus4 C#
So I left, That is it. That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.
A#m D#m
I don’t keep friends,I keep acquainted,
G#
I’m not a prophet, But I’m here to profit.
C# D#m G# C#sus4 C#
That’s all, I’m gone! That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.
A#m D#m
I don’t fall in love, I just fake it.
G# G#/A# G#/C C#
I don’t fall in love. I don’t fall in love.

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

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

Home
F# C#
See, of everyone who called,

Very few said "We believe in you."
F# C#
The overwhelming choice said

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

How did I end up here?

And I find love and conquer all my fears?

See, I made it out.

Out from under the sun.

And the truth is that I feel better because I've forgiven everyone.
