Cm Fm
As I walk through the streets of my new city
A# D#
my back feeling much better, I suppose
Dm6 Cm Fm
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
A# D#
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
Dm6 Cm Fm
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
A# D# Dm6
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Cm
Suddenly I'm lost
Fm
On my street
On my block
A#
Oh why, Oh why
D# G#
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
A# D# Dm6
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
Cm Fm
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
D#
and be calm.
Be calm.
G# D#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Cm Fm G#
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
A#
Be calm.
Cm Fm
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
A# D# Dm6
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
Cm Fm
"I always see you looking out your window."
A# D# Dm6
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Cm Fm
Now every single crack, every pain that I pass,
A# D# Dm6
says I should either leave or pick it up
Cm
But with every single buck I've made
Fm
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
A#
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* A#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F#
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
D#
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
G# D#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Cm Fm G#
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
A#
Be calm.
D# Gm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Cm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Cm Bbm* B* Fm
and e-very--thing's wrong
G# Fm
It just gets so hard sometimes
A#
Be calm.
Cm A# Gm Fm
I don't remember much that night,
D# A# D# A# F#* Ab* B*
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Cm A# Gm Fm D#
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
A# D# A# D#
From that street corner came a song
B* C#m* Ebm* E*
And I can't remember the man,
A# D# Dm6
The panhandler or his melody.
Cm A# Gm Fm A#
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
D#
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
G# D#
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Cm Fm G#
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
A#
Be calm.
D# Gm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Cm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Cm Dm D# Fm
and e-very--thing's wrong
G# Fm
It just gets so hard sometimes
A#
Be calm.

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

So I call you out
A C#m B E
Just to feel a little bit better about myself
B F#m B
I do, baby I do, I do, I do

Until their lips start to move,

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

Every single night ends up the same,
F* G* E B C#m B
I don't say much at all, but I bring up your name.

(Over and over and over)
I think it's striking me out.

But not you,

you still wear boots and your hair is too long
E B C#m B
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

When all the pretty girls can't measure to you.

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

Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper

I don’t want no savior baby, I just wanna have a good time

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

And they said,

"Hey Nate, yeah it’s been a while,

Are you gonna sing?"

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,
D#m F# G#m
But youth’s taken over by rock and roll,
C# B A#m G#
While we were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing....
F# G#m C# F#sus4 F#
So I left, That is it. That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.

I don’t keep friends,I keep acquainted,

I’m not a prophet, But I’m here to profit.

That’s all, I’m gone! That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.

I don’t fall in love, I just fake it.

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

Out from under the sun.
