Intro

Dbm F#m B
E Ebm6
Dbm F#m B
Dbm F#m
As I walk through the streets of my new city
B E
my back feeling much better, I suppose
Ebm6 Dbm F#m
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
B E
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
Ebm6 Dbm F#m
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
B E Ebm6
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Dbm
Suddenly I'm lost
F#m
On my street
On my block
B
Oh why, Oh why
E A
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
B E Ebm6
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
Dbm F#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
E
and be calm.
Be calm.
A E
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Dbm F#m A
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
B
Be calm.
Dbm F#m
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
B E Ebm6
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
Dbm F#m
"I always see you looking out your window."
B E Ebm6
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Dbm F#m
Now every single crack, every pain that I pass,
B E Ebm6
says I should either leave or pick it up
Dbm
But with every single buck I've made
F#m
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
B
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* B* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F#
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
E
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
A E
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Dbm F#m A
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
B
Be calm.
E Abm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Dbm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Dbm Bbm* B* F#m
and e-very--thing's wrong
A F#m
It just gets so hard sometimes
B
Be calm.
Dbm B Abm F#m
I don't remember much that night,
E B E B F#* Ab* B*
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Dbm B Abm F#m E
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
B E B E
From that street corner came a song
B* C#m* Ebm* E*
And I can't remember the man,
B E Ebm6
The panhandler or his melody.
Dbm B Abm F#m B
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
E
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
A E
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Dbm F#m A
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
B
Be calm.
E Abm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Dbm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Dbm Ebm E F#m
and e-very--thing's wrong
A F#m
It just gets so hard sometimes
B
Be calm.
Dbm
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)
Bm
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)
Bm
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)
Bm
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.

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

Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper

"Hey Nate, yeah it’s been a while,

Are you gonna sing?"

I began to smile and I said,
G Am D
"You should’ve seen me a couple of years ago,
Am Em Am D
I was laughing and drinking and smoking and singing."
G
C’mon can you count all the loves that didn’t last?

It’s such a gas when you bring up the past.

Had you stuck around or come out to a show,

But youth’s taken over by rock and roll,
D C Bm A
While we were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing....
G Am D Gsus4 G
So I left, That is it. That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.
Em Am
I don’t keep friends,I keep acquainted,
D
I’m not a prophet, But I’m here to profit.
G Am D Gsus4 G
That’s all, I’m gone! That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.
Em Am
I don’t fall in love, I just fake it.
D D/E D/F# G
I don’t fall in love. I don’t fall in love.

INTRO: G
G A
Never in all of my life
D G
Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city
G
on a Saturday night,
A D Dbm G
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 Dbm
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 Dbm 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 Dbm 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 Dbm 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.

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

Ab Gm Fm Gm Ab A#
Ab Gm Fm A#
Eb Eb/D Cm A#
You come home from work
Ab A#
and you kiss me on the eye
Ab Gm Fm A#
You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours
Eb Eb/D Cm A#
and so we move all to the garden
Ab A#
look at everything we've owned
Ab Gm
now the kids are coming home
Fm Gm Ab A#
so I set the table
Eb
You can make the fire.

See, of everyone who called,

Very few said "We believe in you."

The overwhelming choice said

I'm just a boy inside a voice

and if it's true, if it's true, if it's true,

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?

Out from under the sun.
