G

Cherry picking through the stars

    Em

And falling cannonballs

Am

Waiting for the break of dawn

    C 

To start its morning crawl



G

Polluted rays of filtered light

Em

Tropical and warm

Am

Making shadows through

                C             D

The snow white resin covered skulls

      C      D        Em    D

Happy birthday to the war





         C

Standing by the wall

   Am

A rainbow made of stars

      G

Under seven different shades of grey

          F

Spreading out across the arc

        C

Days of wonder spent

Am

Out there killing time

         Dm

Now this may not leave a mark on me

      Fm

But I sure as hell was there





(intro G, and the intro lick thing)



G

Caravanning on the moonlit

Locust covered trail

    C

We came out like a stream of bats

Em                 D

Exploding from the well

G 

Slipping through the whirlpools

   Em

Of trees and floating cars

Am

Behind a winter coated mule

      C                D

Down record breaking falls

      C     D        Em   D

Into oblivion's open jaws



Standing by the wall

A rainbow made of stars

Under seven different shades of grey

Spreading out across the arc

Days of wonder spent

Out there killing time

Now this may not leave a mark on me

But I sure as hell was there

Happy Birthday to the war



Days of wonder spent

By a rainbow made of stars

Under seven different shades of grey

Spreading out across the arc

Standing by the wall

Out there killing time

Now this may not leave a mark on me

But I sure as hell was there





(piano interlude..chords same as guitar solo then..)





G

Educated under God

To walk a neutral line

C

Give me neither poverty

    G

Nor riches in my time

Take my body and my mind

My heart is far behind

       C

With a dozen poems in my ears

Em          D

Ricocheting wild

Permission now to let this thing land

I'm too far gone to know where I am

Conditions are worse than we planned

Beyond the point of ever turning back

G                                C

Slipping off the radar through a hole in space

          D          C           G

Goes the passenger sitting backwards





Adam took the apple, I was not involved

I'm not responsible for how lost we are

Batten down the hatches, extinction calls

But Adam took the apple, I was not involved



Heading straight into the blackness

Way beyond the point of ever turning back

Slipping off the radar through a hole in space

Goes the passenger sitting backwards



D

May be a rumble

G             C

Maybe nothing more

D

Maybe a thunder

G             C

There before she blows

      F

Maybe not a big bang

           D

But just a little white noise





Bb.....Eb.......F.....Bb....Eb.....F.....D (back to verse)







Into the furnace of red twilight

Threading like a needle through searchlights

Fading further and spinning right

Into the furnace of red twilight



Heading straight into the blackness

Too far gone, now there's no turning back

Slipping off the radar into a hole in space

Goes the passenger sitting backwards

On the beautiful side of somewhere





There on the pavement underneath the yellow moon

I think of you and just how easily we bruise

A folded address in my pocket I have stopped

Trying to believe for you that the bottom didn't drop

I am on the platform, covered with dust

I pray they take the both of us



I am ready to wake up

There in the exodus

On the beautiful side of somewhere



I am ready to come down

And see us both somehow

On the beautiful side of somewhere, someday



I am lighting matches for the rescue

Some are candles, some are fuses

Acting on my best behavior

Switching over every breaker

         C     

As we're plowing through these laws of nature

G              D

Disregarding every acre

     C

I'm lying in my Sunday best

G                 D

Assuming this was not a test



I am ready to wake up

There in the exodus

On the beautiful side of somewhere

I am ready to come down

And see us both somehow

On the beautiful side of somewhere, someday

On the beautiful side of somewhere, someday

A               B             E

Here comes your drunken marionette

A              B       E

Dragging his mess of threads

A            B              E          A

There at the bar pulling smoke to his lungs

                     B                   E

He says, "Who will ignore me when you're gone?"



Come on lift me up

I wanna dance by your tin cup

A tower of beauty with a split in your tongue

"Who will ignore me when you're gone?"

He says, "Who will ignore me when you're gone?"



        A  B E

Here he comes

         A B E

Here he comes

                     A

Be still the wooden heart

                    B

That wouldn't ever part

                    A     E

With the drunken marionette



Been mainlining bad thoughts

Been drinking things I wish I'd not

Intoxicated with sad songs

"Who will forgive you when I'm gone?"



They sing Auld Lang Syne

I've got mutiny on my mind

A guilty conscience means at least you've got one

"Who will forgive you when I'm gone?"

He says, "Who will forgive you when I'm gone?"



Here he comes

Here he comes

Be still the wooden heart

That wouldn't ever part

                    F#m                        B

Who's waiting on a spark that hasn't happened yet

For the drunken marionette



C#m    G#7             A                 E

Carry on and turn the lights low when you go

C#m     G#7

In the hours left

   A

I hope you feel

     B                     E

The things that I know I won't

What you give is what you get

These days I worry about your debt

Who carries evil out

Evil will come

"Who will defend you when I'm gone?"

He says, "Who will defend you when I'm gone?"



Here he comes

Here he comes

Be still the wooden heart

That wouldn't ever part

Who's waiting on a spark 

that hasn't happened yet



Here he comes

Here he comes

Be still the wooden heart

That wouldn't ever part

Who's waiting on a spark that hasn't happened yet

For the drunken marionette

C       G          B7          Em

Quarter moon on a city grown thick

C          G                 B7

With good advice that won't stick

         Em                D

From the ballrooms to the suburbs

         C

And the abandoned mines

                                  B7

Atlantis may be rising but we're all out of time



Colored lights on the fire escape

Bodies move behind drapes

The light is uneven and we're safer in pairs

And we're no match for what's waiting

For each of us out there



G              Cm

Whistle baby, while we walk

G                   Cm

Don't say anything, do not talk

     C         C/b         Am       C/b

The journey is over, it is time to exhale

C            C/b

Wherever we were going

D                 C...G....B7....Em

We're already there



It's over the turnstiles and through the guardrails

And into Washington Square

Cause no amount of nightmares would ever compare

To the thought of only silence in this ghost filled air



Whistle baby, while we walk

Don't say anything, do not talk

The journey is over, it's too late to prepare

Why can't you see that, baby

We're already there



Here comes your silhouette

And more pillow talk

Here comes the ticking of these clocks

They say the quickest way to end a war is just to lose

Another chamber locks and I already withdrew



Here comes the booming and the hunger of each night

Here comes the burden of might

This day was not divinely made to leave you impressed

We may become someone someday, but we haven't yet



Whistle baby, while we walk

Don't say anything, do not talk

The journey is over, it's time to repair

Whatever we were building

We're already there

God bless the void of my daydreams

Head back in the snow making angel wings

As slow motion dancing lights at dawn

Sail beneath a burning yellow sun



I'm calling out from the deep ends of my bones

Time says nothing back but I told you so

I told you so



Still waters rising in my mind

Black and deep, smoke behind my eyes

Last night I could not sleep at all

I hallucinated that you were in my arms



To be in your heart I failed my own

Love says nothing back but I told you so

I told you so

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/w/wallflowers/61270.html ]

(acoustic guitar solo, maybe someday i'll attempt it.  Theres a lot

of double stops and it eases into a pentatonic i think)





Still here reclimbing every rung

Someone saw something

Someone speak up

Back over the rotted bridge I cross

Open up these graves, let these bodies talk



Buried under leaves blood red and gold

Death says nothing back but I told you so

I told you so



Notes:  This song sounds great if you use arpeggios during the chords

Feels like a ghost here in this room

Not the kind that rides a saddle in a costume

All around me, all around you

In from the window for a drag of your perfume



      B7    C       G

Let's move back to California

Let's make a promise, baby

Let's both be there

Em     B7     C          G

Put our feet deep in the sands

This garden's only got four corners

             C           D              Em (intro)

Back to your trenches, back to California



The days keep coming and the years overlap

Been crawling all over each other like wet cats

I hear the rebels yelling out in the dunes

And I don't think it's half as funny as I used to



Let's move back to California

Let's make a promise, baby

Let's both be there

Put our feet deep in the sands

Let's leave behind these maps and handguns

We're on our way back to California



G                          C/g

We've got California in our eyes

                             G

Come on and catch us if you can

                        C/g

With California in our eyes



(intro)



Passing down through a valley full of lost sheep

Straight is the gate, narrow is the walkway

Mercury rising and poppies in bloom

This is the kind of thing that I can get used to



Let's move back to California

Let's make a promise, baby

Let's both be there

Put our feet deep in the sand

There's still no shortage in creating bad blood

We're on our way back to California



We've got California in our eyes

Come on and catch us if you can

With California in our eyes

Fast as we can

Back to California

Come on and catch us if you can

Back to California

Fast as we can

Back to California

Fire on the porch on a summer's night

All of my things are there inside

Black smoke rise up, burn on burn higher

Blackbird rise up, tell me what have you done



I'm not drunk and I'm not sad

There's nothing inside that I want back

Let me touch your lips, let me see where you're at

Do you wonder how I am tonight

Then don't lose time looking in my eyes

Not every tear means you're gonna cry



C

From the bottom of my heart

Comes a cold dark feeling

                     B7

There is nothing but dust

                  Em

In the layers I'm peeling



From the bottom of my heart

Beats a rattling drum

Coming up from the depths

Into the rays of the sun



Now under crushing skies of grays

Paralyzed with phantom pains

Before this room became just a place



Where I just sleep through endless days

Spinning webs and carving names

Where thoughts break up, exploding in space



But I once crossed a quarter mile

Through black pools of razor wires

And cut through steel with the edge of a file



While singing rhapsodies in stride

Hell-bent and dignified

Now my time has come, "now who you fooling and why?"



From the bottom of my heart

Comes a cold dark feeling

There is eminent death

To the promise I'm keeping



From the bottom of my heart

Comes an army of one

Marching back up the steps

Into the rays of the sun



Pale-faced and hollowed eyes

Buried under ruptured skies

Not every smile means I'm laughing inside

Two-faced and compromised

I've enraptured you with lies

Everything means nothing and tonight everything is mine



From the bottom of my heart

Comes a cold dark feeling

I have buried so much

In the layers I'm peeling



From the bottom of my heart

A battle will come

Coming up from the depths

Into the rays of the sun



From the bottom of my heart

Comes a cold dark feeling

Wrapped around tight

With no sign of leaving



From the bottom of my heart

A ballad is sung

Through a whisper she comes

Into the rays of the sun

G            D                   Em

Last night I dreamt one thousand lies

               C                D                Em

I could see the dawn through a different set of eyes

G           D                Em

There in my slumber passing time

               C       D            Em

Long live the world resting on its side



             C             G

I walked the orchard with you

     D          Em

Your hand in my mine

C            G              B7

In the evergreens drinking wine

           Em           D  

I saw the snow fall in black and white 

          C       G

From the auburn sky

     B7                                   Em

Last night I lived more than one thousand lives

      D                 G (to intro)

Not one of them survived



Up through the earth and at dawn I came

I crossed the kingdom through venom pouring rain

In the vacuum of my own brigade

Resurrected to make you mine again



Orpheus looked back once

She sailed the underworld

No second chances will be earned

I have returned as a phantom now 

To walk the bow and stern

Last night I lived more than one thousand lives

Not one of them survived



Em                      Bm

If we could do better I know that we would

C                   G              D

Maybe admit it now, we're not that good

Em                        Bm

We keep the needle between zero and one

C                           G           D

You play your fiddle, baby, I'll play dumb



(piano solo use verse chords)



Into the pastures of our minds

Goes my nearly beloved and I

Blazing two parallel white lines

Through this broken heart spilt open wide



Time might be on my side

But it's mostly far behind

I was the apple of your eye

Now I'm the boy spinning on a wheel there 

Stuck with knives

Last night I lived more than one thousand lives

Not one of them survived

G             B7        Em

You'd have a wonderful day

C             G       D        C

If you could see how lucky you are

              D        G              C

Now don't get carried away with your heart

                D          G

You're better where you are



You're not the only one

Who's failed to hang on to a moving star

Now don't be sorry, what's done now is done

And this is who you are



These days feel numbered and long

There's no one to speak of

There's no one at all

But you're not the reason that everyone's gone

That's not how they are



There is no system to change

No conditions are made

No permissions to start

Now don't go drawing lines in the sand

That's not who you are



G                   B7(2)

Sometimes a high wall is just a wall

C                                      A7

Sometimes it's only there to make sure you feel small

   C/g                                D

Or may be there to save you from the depths of a much deeper fall

A                          F#m     E

New heaven over a brand new sky

A                          F#m

New breed of wonder on the vine

            D

Among the living

              A                E

There is new promise in this night



New arms to hold back the revolution

New eyes to recognize what you've become

New blood to recover

                              C#7

A new will to honor all God's creations

All things are new again

Within and without

D E               F#m

All things are new again



New shepherd roaming through the tall grass

A new temple rising through the falling ash

That buries the tracks

Of millions of boots marching in packs



Clearwater rolling through the dam's collapse

Out to the harbor where they're sailing back

New flag on the mast

Without any secrets, without any past



All things are new again

Within and without

D          C#m            F#m

Sooner or later the ending begins

     B7                        D E                A

Just then it can be said that all things are new again



A                           C#m

New ghost returning to the earth beneath the haze

F#m                           Dm

New poets burning through the lines of every page

                        D    A      E

I'm an unpainted portrait

     D            A       E

I am staring at a new sunset

            C#7

Without any memories yet



All things are new again

Within and without

Sooner or later the ending begins

Just then it can be said that all things are new again

Within and without

Sooner or later every season ends

Then forever it can be said that all things
