Fbm Am D
Fbm Am
As I walk through the streets of my new city
D G
my back feeling much better, I suppose
Gbm6 Fbm Am
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
D G
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
Gbm6 Fbm Am
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
D G Gbm6
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Fbm
Suddenly I'm lost
Am
On my street
On my block
D
Oh why, Oh why
G C
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
D G Gbm6
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
Fbm Am
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.
Fbm Am C
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
D
Be calm.
Fbm Am
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
D G Gbm6
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
Fbm Am
"I always see you looking out your window."
D G Gbm6
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Fbm Am
Now every single crack, every pain that I pass,
D G Gbm6
says I should either leave or pick it up
Fbm
But with every single buck I've made
Am
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.
Fbm Am C
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
D
Be calm.
G Cbm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Fbm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Fbm Bbm* B* Am
and e-very--thing's wrong
C Am
It just gets so hard sometimes
D
Be calm.
Fbm D Cbm Am
I don't remember much that night,
G D G D F#* Ab* B*
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Fbm D Cbm Am 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 Gbm6
The panhandler or his melody.
Fbm D Cbm Am 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.
Fbm Am C
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
D
Be calm.
G Cbm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Fbm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Fbm Gbm G Am
and e-very--thing's wrong
C Am
It just gets so hard sometimes
D
Be calm.
Fbm
Be calm.

F A#
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,
A# [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,
D#
I don't know.
(you're beautiful)
Dm
I think they come from the cold
(for all your big mistakes)
D#
I think they come from the cold
(you stayed the same)
F
to the city that don't snow.
A#
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
A#
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
A# [riff]
as it shattered on a mountaintop
A# F
Now I believe the sun, it's like a symphony.
But what it's trying to play,
D#
I don't know.
(you're beautiful)
Dm
I think they come from the cold
(for all your big mistakes)
D#
I think they come from the cold
(you stayed the same)
F
to the city that don't snow.
A# D# F
C'mon, Holy ghosts
A# D# F
When do you come out to play?
A# D# F
'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me,
D# F A#
He'd better start looking today.
D# A#
So I can rise with the river
D# A#
We all float before we sink
D#
We pray for satellites,
A#
Pray for courtesy
F D#
I pray that it can climb mountains to me!
A# D#
I say goodbye to the canyon.
A# D#
I will set sail to the streets
A# D# F
where I don't care to be forgiven
F D#
I want to be forgotten.
A# D#
I don't care to be forgiven
A# D#
When Lord I only want to be forgotten!
A# D#
Singing oh oh oh na na na
A# D#
Oh oh oh
A# D#
I'm Singing oh oh oh na na
F D#
Oh-oh Oh-oh
A# D#
I'm Singing oh oh oh na na na
A# D#
Singing oh oh oh
A# D#
I'm Singing oh oh oh na na
F D#
Oh-oh na na na Oh-oh
F
Now I receive a call from my family
and what they started to say
D#
brought me home.
(you're beautiful)
Dm
They think I'm beautiful
(for all your big mistakes)
D# F
They think I'm beautiful
(you're beautiful)
A# [riff]
for all my big mistakes.
for all my big mistakes.
for all my big mistakes.

Have you ever wondered about our old nu-metal friends and what became of them?

Turns out I saw them a couple of days ago,
Cm Gm Cm F
They were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing.
A#
C’mon, can you count all the notches in your belt?
Cm F F/G F/A A#
I'd rather not, let's just say I'm starving myself.

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

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