F# Fm6
Ebm G#m C#
Ebm G#m
As I walk through the streets of my new city
C# F#
my back feeling much better, I suppose
Fm6 Ebm G#m
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
C# F#
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
Fm6 Ebm G#m
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
C# F# Fm6
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Ebm
Suddenly I'm lost
G#m
On my street
On my block
C#
Oh why, Oh why
F# B
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
C# F# Fm6
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
Ebm G#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
F#
and be calm.
Be calm.
B F#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Ebm G#m B
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
C#
Be calm.
Ebm G#m
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
C# F# Fm6
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
Ebm G#m
"I always see you looking out your window."
C# F# Fm6
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Ebm G#m
Now every single crack, every pain that I pass,
C# F# Fm6
says I should either leave or pick it up
Ebm
But with every single buck I've made
G#m
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
C#
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* C#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F#
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
F#
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
B F#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Ebm G#m B
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
C#
Be calm.
F# A#m
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Ebm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Ebm Bbm* B* G#m
and e-very--thing's wrong
B G#m
It just gets so hard sometimes
C#
Be calm.
Ebm C# A#m G#m
I don't remember much that night,
F# C# F# C# F#* Ab* B*
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Ebm C# A#m G#m F#
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
C# F# C# F#
From that street corner came a song
B* C#m* Ebm* E*
And I can't remember the man,
C# F# Fm6
The panhandler or his melody.
Ebm C# A#m G#m C#
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
F#
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
B F#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Ebm G#m B
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
C#
Be calm.
F# A#m
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Ebm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Ebm Fm F# G#m
and e-very--thing's wrong
B G#m
It just gets so hard sometimes
C#
Be calm.
Ebm
Be calm.

Last week my baby hit the slopes.
E
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
E
Now at least the birds are singing to me,
but what they're trying to say,
D
I don't know.
(you're beautiful)
C#m
I think they come from the cold
(for all your big mistakes)
D
I think they come from the cold
(you stayed the same)
E
to the city that don't snow.
A
So I drove until we both broke down.
I was stranded in a border town
E
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
E
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 E
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)
C#m
I think they come from the cold
(for all your big mistakes)
D
I think they come from the cold
(you stayed the same)
E
to the city that don't snow.
A D E
C'mon, Holy ghosts
A D E
When do you come out to play?
A D E
'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me,
D E 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
E 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 E
where I don't care to be forgiven
E 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
E 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
E D
Oh-oh na na na Oh-oh
E
Now I receive a call from my family
and what they started to say
D
brought me home.
(you're beautiful)
C#m
They think I'm beautiful
(for all your big mistakes)
D E
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.

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

I don’t want no savior baby, I just wanna have a good time
A Bm E A D* D* F#* A*
Oh-oh oh, Oh-uh oh

At least I’m not as sad as I used to be

And they said,

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

And they say we would’ve seen you two years ago
E A* Bm* C#* A
Had you stuck around or come out to a show,
F#m A Bm
But youth’s taken over by rock and roll,
E D C#m B
While we were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing....
A Bm E Asus4 A
So I left, That is it. That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.
F#m Bm
I don’t keep friends,I keep acquainted,
E
I’m not a prophet, But I’m here to profit.
A Bm E Asus4 A
That’s all, I’m gone! That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.
F#m Bm
I don’t fall in love, I just fake it.

I don’t fall in love. I don’t fall in love.

Never in all of my life

Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city
A
on a Saturday night,
B E Ebm A
all the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."
A B
But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come.
A B
I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.
E A E
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.
A B
We met up once we'd settled the sun
E Ebm
Between the heat and the work week
A
The fear is we could use some sleep
A B
but sleep to a superfluous man means better use for beds
E Ebm A
and I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight.
A B
I don't need to be reminded this is how it was.
A B
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block
A B
that asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much"
A B
when the truth is, I'm just getting started.
E
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
A D* E* F#* E* D*
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
E A
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.
A B
One of us sings, and one of us drinks,
E
and one of us has nothing at all.
A
So he calls us all sheep
B E
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.
(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)
A B
Then he swears he's gotta take this call
E Ebm A
Man, I'm scared he's gonna leave us too soon.
A
We were the get rich quick kids,
B
We never got it right
A B
So we settled for the center in town
A B
Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight
A B
got the blond one staring me down.
A B
and I really wanna take a swing
E Ebm A
I can't help but remember James Dean
A B
See we are part of the few who agree
A
that hey, he lived life fast
B
but he died.
he died.
he died.
E
Me, I'm gonna live forever.
E A E
(And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive)
E
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
A E
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
and for the first time,
A
in a long time,
E
I feel alive.
THE GAMBLER------------------------------------------------------------------
F F/E Dm C A# C F F/E F
F F/E Dm C A# C F F/E F
F F/E Dm
Slow down,
C A# C
we've got time left to be lazy
F F/E Dm C A# C
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
F F/E Dm C A# C
We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden
A# Am
I don't care to beg your pardon,
Gm C
We should live
F F/E Dm C A# C F F/E F
until we die.
F F/E Dm Am A# C
We were barely eighteen when we'd crossed collective hearts.
A# Am Gm C
It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye.
F F/E Dm
and then you turned, put out your hand,
C A# C
and you asked me to dance.
A# Am Gm C
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.
A# C F F/E Dm C
I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
A# C F F/E Dm C
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
A# C
Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
F F/E Dm
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
A# C F F/E Dm C A# C F F/E F
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.
F F/E Dm C A# C F F/E F
F F/E Dm Am A# C
It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
A# Am Gm C
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
F F/E Dm C
and now he's turning to a man,
A# C
although he thinks just like his mother,
A# Am Gm C
he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.
F F/E Dm
And even though she moved away,
C A# C
we always get calls from our daughter.
A# Am
She has eyes just like her father's
Gm C
they are blue when skies are grey
F F/E Dm C
And just like him, she never stops,
A# C
Never takes the day for granted,
A# Am
works for everything that's handed to her,
Gm C
Never once complains.
A# C F F/E Dm C
You think that I nearly lost you
A# C F F/E Dm C
When the doctors tried to take you away.
A# C F F/E Dm C
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
A# C
thirty years ago
F
to this day
A# C
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
F F/E Dm
Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
A# C F F/E Dm
So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side.
A# C F F/E Dm C A# C F F/E F
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.
F F/E Dm C A# C F F/E F
F F/E Dm C A# C F F/E F
F F/E Dm C A# C F F/E F
A# Am Gm Am A# C
A# Am Gm C
F F/E Dm C
You come home from work
A# C
and you kiss me on the eye
A# Am Gm C
You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours
F F/E Dm C
and so we move all to the garden
A# C
look at everything we've owned
A# Am
now the kids are coming home
Gm Am A# C
so I set the table
F
You can make the fire.
