Verse:

 

B

It's only when your poison spins into the life you'd hoped to live

                                                A

and suddenly you wake up in a shaken panic now

B

You had set me up like a lamb to slaughter

 

Garbo as a farmer's daughter

 

Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?

             A

I lay right down

 

Chorus:

 

F#

All your sad and lost apostles

A               E

hum my name and flare their nostrils

F#                                 A      A/Ab/G/F#

Choking on the bones you tossed to them

F#

now I'm not one to sit and spin

         A                 E

because living well's the best revenge

D           A              E

Baby, I am calling you on that

 

Verse:

 

B

Don't turn your talking points on me.

 

History will set me free

                                                        A

The future is ours and you don't even rate a footnote now!

B

So who's chasing you? Where did you go?

 

You disappear mid-sentence

 

In a judgement crisis I see my in and go for it

              A

You weakened shill.

 

Chorus:

 

F#

All your sad and lost apostles

A                E

hum my name and flare their nostrils

F#                                   A   A/Ab/G/F#

Choking on the bones you tossed to them

F#

now I'm not one to sit and spin

          A                  E

because living well is the best revenge

D                A              E

and baby, I am calling you on that

 

Verse:

 

B

You savor your dying breath

 

I forgive but I don't forget

 

You work it out, let's hear that argument again

                       A

Camera three... GO NOW!

 

Chorus:

 

F#

All your sad and lost apostles

Turning on the TV and what do I see?

                                                        F#  

A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me – wow!

I’d have thought by now we would be ready to proceed

 

But a tearful hymn to tug the heart

Throw it on the fire

Throw it in the air

Wave the palms, still the arms, fists in the air

A motorcade of a night-string(?) shows the people that you care – ow!

G

Nature abhors a vacuum but what’s between your ears?

 

Your judgement cluttered with fearful thoughts

                             F#

A headlights and a deer – ow!

Throw it on the fire

Throw it in the air

Everybody here ... comes from somewhere

Em       G                   D         A    Em   A   D   A  Em   G

... That they would just as soon forget and disguise

 

 

        D        A           Em      A

At the summer camp where you volunteered

        D        A           Em      G

No one saw your face, no one saw your fear

        D        A           Em      A

If that apparition, it just appeared

        D        A           Em      G

Took you up and away from this space

        D        A           Em      A         D     A    Em    G

In sheer humiliation, of your teenage station

 

 

D       A          Em          A

Nobody cares, no one remembers

D       A          Em          G

And nobody cares

 

 

Em        G     D        A

And you cried and you cried

Em        G     D        A

He's alive, he's alive

Em        G     D        A

And you cried and you cried and you cried and you cried

 

D  A  Em   A

D  A  Em   G

 

 

        D        A           Em      A

If you call out safe, then I'll stop right away

        D        A           Em      G

If the premise buckles, and the rope starts to shake

        D        A           Em      A

For the detail's marked, but the story's the same

        D        A           Em      G

You don't have to explain, you don't have to explain

        D        A           Em      A         D     A    Em    G

Humiliation ... of your teenage station

And you realize your fantasies

Are dressed up in travesties

Fmaj7  Em  C     B   C    A

Enjoy yourself with no regrets,  uh uh

He's alive, he's alive

Ah, you cried and you cried

Now, there's nothing dark and there's nothing weird

        D        A           Em      G

Don't be afraid, I will hold you near

        D        A           Em      A

From the seance where you first betrayed

        D        A           Em      G

An open heart on a darkened stage:

        D        A           Em      A         D     A    Em    G

A celebration of your teenage station

 

 

        D        A           Em      A

Zen experience, sweet delirious

        D        A           Em      G

Supernatural superserious

        D        A           Em      A

Notes:

In the verse it seems that Peter does not hit the high e string but he

strums every chord once and then the stays at the melodic strings til the

next chord.

 

 

D5                   Am7

If the storm doesn't kill me

    C                 G

the government will

           D5       Am7       Fill1

I've gotta get that out of my head

       D         Am7         C         G

It's a new day today and the coffee is strong

  D       Am7      Fill11

I finally got some rest

 

So a man's put to task and challenges

I was taught to hold my head high

Collect what is mine,

Make the best of what today has

 

D*                     C*      Fill2

Houston is filled with promise

D*                   C*

Laredo's a beautiful place

D*                            C*                Fill2

and Galveston sings like that song that I loved

F                        G

Its meaning has not been erased

 

And so there are claims forgiven

And so there are things that are gone

 

Houston is filled with promise

Laredo is a beautiful place

and Galveston sings like that song that I loved

Its meaning has not been erased

 

F

And some things, they fall to the wayside

G                         D5

Their memory is yet to be stilled

F

Belief has not failed me

    G                        D5

And so I am put to the test

(Verse chords)



Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet

No time to argue with belief

I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping

Faster than me

What put me here?

Nothing to hold on to

Nowhere to brake







(Chorus Chords)



Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?

Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?

No time to question the choices I make





(END OF CHORUS chords)



I've got to follow another direction (although fall down is much cooler)



(Verse chords)



The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs

I threw the window open in challenge and despair

I don't know what I needed

I needed time

I needed to escape

I saw the future turn

Upside-down and hesitate.

Lit up down

To make it go

Make it slow down,

Go.

Make it go

These notions of glory and bull market gain

D                   C                    G             D

The teleprompt flutters, the power surge brings

D                   C                    G          D

An easy speed message falls into routine

C                           G              D

Providence blinked, facing the sun

C                           G       D

Where are we left to carry on

 

Am7        G         D

Until the day is done

A7           G        D

Until the day is done

        G                   D

A voice whispers "Son,

        G                    D

The blessed vision comes."

        G           D

What have I done

        G         A7

What have I done

D                   C                    G       D

So hold tight your babies and your guns

D                   C                    G          D

Forgive us our trespasses, father and son

C                           G             D

Providence blinked, facing the sun

C                           G       D

Where are we left to carry on

Am7        G         D

Until the day is done

A7           G        D

Until the day is done

Am7        G        D

Until the day is done

Intro: E5

 

[Verse]

E5                    Emaj7 E5              Emaj7

Mr. Richards, your position is a messenger pigeon,

E5                    Emaj7 E5

left behind you when the camp moved on.

E5                    Emaj7 E5              Emaj7

You thought that you had listened but the words had never crystallized,

E5                    Emaj7 E5

into a truth that you might own, hey hey

 

 

[Chorus]

Asus2                                                E5 Emaj7

Mr Richards your decision, pay attention pay attention

 

 

[Verse]

E5                    Emaj7 E5              Emaj7

Mr. Richards your forgiven for a narrow lack of vision,

E5                    Emaj7 E5

but the firesare still raging on...

E5                    Emaj7 E5              Emaj7

The public's got opinions and these consequences border on the compound that

E5                    Emaj7 E5

razed where zealots sang, hey, hey

 

[Chorus]

Asus2                                                E5 Emaj7

[Bridge]

So listen, your intention, sign the paper, stamp the ribbon,

        E5                   Emaj7             E5

You're mistaken if you think we'll just forget.

D                                             A

You can thump your chest and rattle, stand in front of your piano but,

     G          F#m7     E5        G          F#m7  E5

We know, what's going on, Yes, we know what's going on,

           G              F#m7     E5

We're the children of the choir hey,

        G           F#m7     E5

And we know what's going on.

 

 

[Verse]

E5                    Emaj7 E5              Emaj7

Mr. Richards your conviction, had us cheering in the kitchen,

E5                    Emaj7 E5

now the jury's eating pigeon pie,

E5                    Emaj7 E5              Emaj7

So tell me how is prison, have they taught you how to listen?,

E5                    Emaj7 E5

We've begun to bridge the schism, pay attention pay attention,

 

 

[Chorus]

Asus2                                                E5 Emaj7

Mr. Richards your decision, pay attention, pay attention.

     G          F#m7     E5        G          F#m7  E5

Song: SING FOR THE SUBMARINE





opening/verse chord progression:



Bm C/Bm





It feels in dreams

That everything is there for you

The city breathes and pulses

It's fuel electron blue



I knew that you could see right through it

So this is where I give in to the machine

Lift up your voice feel gravity's pull

Drown out the siren's ring (or silent dream)



Oh... 

Am

It's all here where I keep it



Dm

It's all in the submarine



Am

It's all a lot less frightening



Dm

than you would have had it be 



Am

But that's the good news my darling



Dm

It is what it's going to be 



B                                  Bb  G  Em

So sing, sing for the submarine



Back to verse:



I tried to explain how it all begins

How its all destroyed and built again

I knew that you could not believe me

But now you're here and it's different

How the light shines in your eyes

In every second or situ

It's then that I realised

That the world as we know it

The High speed train

We'll pick it all up and start again





Chorus Chords:





It's all here where I keep it

It's all in the submarine

It's all a lot less frightening

than you would have had it be 

But that's the good news my darling

It is what it's going to be 

So sing, sing for the submarine

Break Down: F#  B-Bb  D-Db  Db-D-E5-F#



Back to verse chords:



The city did not collapse in a shudder

The rain it never came

At least my confessions made you laugh

I know it's a little crazed

But these dreams... 

they seem so real to me





CHORUS:

It's all here where I keep it

It's all in the submarine

It's all a lot less frightening

than you would have had it be 

But that's the good news my darling

It is what it's going to be 

So sing, sing for the submarine



So this is where you trust me

And this where it begins

It's all a lot less frightening

Your tear you let it in

Tyrel and his mechanical owl

A moth disguised as a leaf... 

Don't tell me what tomorrow brings

Climb into the hidden machine and 

sing sing sing sing sing sing

sing sing for the submarine



 



"Horse To Water"

B

I could have kept my head down



B

I might have kept my mouth shut



B

I should have held my own, 



B                 

You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.





SAME PROGRESSION AGAIN:

You're only as big as your battles.

Rattle my cage with your shadow.

I'm a phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,

Don't you know that what comes around goes around?





Em                   B

I'm not that easy,



A5                                    B

I am not your horse to water.



Em                        B             A5

I hold my breath I come around, round, round.



VERSE PROGRESSION AGAIN:



Don't darken my doorstep again,

You're mixing up living in chin-chin,

You're mixing up lose with win-win,

You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.



You stumble on glass top table,

TV's chewing shock-gone cable

Pump me up a beanstalk fable

And I'll call this entertainment

'cause Humpty's falling down.





CHORUS:

I'm not that easy,

I am not your horse to water.

I hold my breath I come around, round, round.





VERSE

Pick a fight an ultra-buzzy bubble

Friday night fuckin' fried-up pub crawl

Phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,

Don't you know that what comes around goes around?





CHORUS

I'm not that easy,

I am not your horse to water.

I hold my breath I come around, round, round.



It's not that easy

I am not your horse to water

I hold my breath, I come around, round, round



ENDING



A-B-A-G

It's going down, down, down



G-A-G-F#

This runaround, round, round



F#-G-F#-F

Is bound to pound



                                     Em

The daylights out of you!



 



I’m Gonna DJ



 



If death is pretty final, I'm collected vinyl



                                                                      G   A#-G-A#   C   D

I'm gonna DJ at the end of the world       



Cos if heaven does exist with a kickin' playlist



                                                                            G   A#-G-A#   C   D

I don't want to miss it at the end of the world

D5

Hey steady steady, hey steady steady



D5

I don't wanna go till I'm good and ready

D5          E5       D5                  E5

It's on my mind, it's in my mind



D5           E5           D5            E5

It's what I found, it's what I find

(Same progression as above)





It's on my mind, it's in my mind

It's what I found, oh my my my

E5                                                                                       

When I spin my way right through it grates enthusiast Jack Pruett



E5                                                                      D5                C

As the moths circle the moon, as you're circling the room

E5

Music will provide the light you cannot resist



                                             D5       C

you cannot resist, you cannot resist

G7

And the weblogs that get tangled as you bully and you wangle

When you walk up in Seattle, where you fought the nascent battle

G7

You threw the thread and throttle let us raise another bottle

Raise another bottle, raise another bottle



Because death is pretty final, I'm collecting vinyl



                                                                G   A#-G-A#   C   D

I'm gonna DJ at the end of the world





(SAME CHORD PROGRESSIONS AS MENTIONED ABOVE, BASICALLY)



Hey steady steady, hey steady steady

I don't wanna go till I'm good and ready



It's on my mind, it's in my mind

It's what I found, it's what I find



It's on my mind, it's in my mind

It's what I found, oh my my my



Hey steady steady, hey steady steady

I don't wanna go till I'm good and ready



Hey steady steady, hey steady steady

I don't wanna go till I'm good and ready



Music will provide the light you cannot resist

You cannot resist, you cannot resist



Yeah

Em G5 A5 G5

Solo:

G---15b-14-12 (repeat as much as necessary)

lyrics:

Out there are silver dressed darlings

And ramen mein delights

When ginger hair gets all fired up

She beats them in the night

That redhead walking, uh

Don't get close

She'll warn you with her growl

She's a bud cuttin', star studded, leather chested girl

Out there a redhead walkin'

Redhead walkin'

The redhead walkin'

Better listen keep your distance from the crimson crime warpath

O kiss that girl

Kiss that girl

Kiss that girt

Yeah, she'll cut your heart like diamonds

End of story

You bet you're gonna lose it to that hellbound crimson glory

There — a redhead walkin'

A redhead walkin'

A redhead walkin'

Heed what this wise man says

Keep away from redheads…
