Dm Gm C
Dm Gm
As I walk through the streets of my new city
C F
my back feeling much better, I suppose
Fbm6 Dm Gm
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
C F
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
Fbm6 Dm Gm
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
C F Fbm6
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Dm
Suddenly I'm lost
Gm
On my street
On my block
C
Oh why, Oh why
F A#
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
C F Fbm6
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
Dm Gm
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.
A# F
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Dm Gm A#
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
C
Be calm.
Dm Gm
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
C F Fbm6
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
Dm Gm
"I always see you looking out your window."
C F Fbm6
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Dm Gm
Now every single crack, every pain that I pass,
C F Fbm6
says I should either leave or pick it up
Dm
But with every single buck I've made
Gm
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.
A# F
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Dm Gm A#
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
C
Be calm.
F Am
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Dm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Dm Bbm* B* Gm
and e-very--thing's wrong
A# Gm
It just gets so hard sometimes
C
Be calm.
Dm C Am Gm
I don't remember much that night,
F C F C F#* Ab* B*
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Dm C Am Gm 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 Fbm6
The panhandler or his melody.
Dm C Am Gm C
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
F
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
A# F
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Dm Gm A#
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
C
Be calm.
F Am
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Dm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Dm Fbm F Gm
and e-very--thing's wrong
A# Gm
It just gets so hard sometimes
C
Be calm.
Dm
Be calm.

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

So I call you out
B D#m C# F#
Just to feel a little bit better about myself
C# G#m C#
I do, baby I do, I do, I do
F#
Until their lips start to move,

and their friends wanna talk music
B Bm
I say "I've never heard the tune!"
F# C#
But I have, I just hate the band
G#m C#
'cause they remind me of you.

Every single night ends up the same,

I don't say much at all, but I bring up your name.

But not you,
C# D#m C#
you still wear boots and your hair is too long
F# C# D#m C#
and then this one doesn't want to admit she's fallen in love

Oh c'mon, oh c'mon, what's a boy to do

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

Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper

Are you gonna sing?"

I began to smile and I said,

But youth’s taken over by rock and roll,

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