Fm A#m D#
Fm A#m
As I walk through the streets of my new city
D# G#
my back feeling much better, I suppose
Gm6 Fm A#m
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
D# G#
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
Gm6 Fm A#m
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
D# G# Gm6
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Fm
Suddenly I'm lost
A#m
On my street
On my block
D#
Oh why, Oh why
G# C#
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
D# G# Gm6
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
Fm A#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
G#
and be calm.
Be calm.
C# G#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Fm A#m C#
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
D#
Be calm.
Fm A#m
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
D# G# Gm6
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
Fm A#m
"I always see you looking out your window."
D# G# Gm6
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Fm A#m
Now every single crack, every pain that I pass,
D# G# Gm6
says I should either leave or pick it up
Fm
But with every single buck I've made
A#m
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
D#
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* D#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F#
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
G#
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
C# G#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Fm A#m C#
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
D#
Be calm.
G# Cm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Fm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Fm Bbm* B* A#m
and e-very--thing's wrong
C# A#m
It just gets so hard sometimes
D#
Be calm.
Fm D# Cm A#m
I don't remember much that night,
G# D# G# D# F#* Ab* B*
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Fm D# Cm A#m G#
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
D# G# D# G#
From that street corner came a song
B* C#m* Ebm* E*
And I can't remember the man,
D# G# Gm6
The panhandler or his melody.
Fm D# Cm A#m D#
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
G#
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
C# G#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Fm A#m C#
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
D#
Be calm.
G# Cm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Fm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Fm Gm G# A#m
and e-very--thing's wrong
C# A#m
It just gets so hard sometimes
D#
Be calm.

Be calm.

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

Until their lips start to move,

I say "I've never heard the tune!"

But I have, I just hate the band

you still wear boots and your hair is too long

Have you ever wondered about our old nu-metal friends and what became of them?
B C#m F#
Turns out I saw them a couple of days ago,
C#m G#m C#m F#
They were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing.
B
C’mon, can you count all the notches in your belt?
C#m F# F#/G# F#/A# B
I'd rather not, let's just say I'm starving myself.

Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper

I began to smile and I said,

"You should’ve seen me a couple of years ago,

I was laughing and drinking and smoking and singing."

C’mon can you count all the loves that didn’t last?

Had you stuck around or come out to a show,
G#m B C#m
But youth’s taken over by rock and roll,
F# E D#m C#
While we were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing....
B C#m F# Bsus4 B
So I left, That is it. That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.
G#m C#m
I don’t keep friends,I keep acquainted,
F#
I’m not a prophet, But I’m here to profit.
B C#m F# Bsus4 B
That’s all, I’m gone! That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.

B C#
Never in all of my life
F# B
Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city
B
on a Saturday night,
C# F# Fm B
all the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."
B C#
But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come.

I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.
F# B F#
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.

I don't need to be reminded this is how it was.

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