[Am][F7][Em7][Am]
[Am]Don’t you look, turn [F7]away
[Em7]You draw attention to you[Am]rself
[Am]Every step that you [F7]take
[Em7]Brings you closer still to [Am]hell
[Am]She is soft, like the [F7]violins
[Em7]Slightly stepping out of [Am]time
[Am]But the dance, like the [F7]sin
[Em7]Whips like cat tails on [Am]mind
[F7]Know that I’ll be [Em7]there
[G]Waiting for your heart to [Am]fall
Know that [F7]I will [Em7]wait
[G]Loving you above it [Am]all
Oh and [F7]I’ll look [Em7]back
[G]Wanting you for all we [Am]had
Now I [F7]know
I can’t let [Em7]go[F7]
I can’t let [Em7]go[F7]
(Lead Break)
[Am]midnight hour, [F7]Hunger burns,
[Em7]Desperate lovers compro[Am]mise
Smell the hope, taste the [F7]fear
[Em7]And the bitter-sweet good[Am]byes

[D]I saw the headline and the photograph
The fallen flag in the aftermath
And things will never [G]be the same
Go to frozen frame
And fade to [D]black
[D]Empty halls, echo empty hearts
Reflected silence in the morning light
The daily pace of, [G]getting up, moving on
Pushing back the n[D]ight
[E]Twenty-seven in [G]Connecticut
[E]The teachers and the [G]innocent
Blown away
---------------------------------------------------
[Bm]Far A[D]way
The [A]funeral bells are ringing out to[E]day
They’re so [Bm]Far A[D]way
but [E]can we close our eyes
In[G]different to the cries
so far a[Bm]way
---------------------------------------------------
[D]Haters sleep with a holy gun
Ignorant of the setting sun
The rising tide and [G]make a stand
Reaching out, with blood on their [D]hands
[E]They strut and fret u[G]pon the stage
[E]And leave us with the [G]mess they made
And walk away
(Chorus)
[C]Now Father Flannigan is, [G]asking us to [D]pray
[C]There's no one riding on, [G] the school bus to[Asus4]day[A]

------------------------------------------------------------ Verse 1
[C#m] I see you [F#m] in my mind[B]
a sillo [G#] utte by pale moon[C#m]light
When I [F#m] close my eyes [B]
Leave the [G#]waking world be[C#m]hind
------------------------------------------------------------ Verse 2
[C#m]A poem [F#m] so composed[B]
And in your [G#] teeth a blood red [C#m]rose
And with a [F#m] single line [B]
You commit the lovers [C#m]crime
------------------------------------------------------------ Pre-Chorus
[C#m]The Rain begins [B]fall
And the beauty of it [A] all
[G#] washes [C#m]away
[C#m]Leaving me to [B]doubt
Lonely crying [A] out
[G#]The words I could not [C#m]say
------------------------------------------------------------ Chorus
-C#m Every [B]sus2 heart has [G#]felt the [C#m] pain
[C#m] Of love that's [B]sus2 lost or a [G#] love in [C#m] vain
Oh and [C#m] every [B]sus2 heart has to [G#] wonder [C#m] why
I can [C#m] see you [F#m] now [G#] when I close my [C#m] eyes
-------------------------------------------------------------- Verse 3
[C#m]Faithless [F#m]love is [B]blind
to the [G#]victims left be[C#m]hind
And it [F#m]does no [B]good
To heal the [G#]wounds, even if I [C#m]could
------------------------------------------------------------ Pre-Chorus
[C#m]So here I am, a[B]gain
Facing certain [A]pain
[G#]Conviction fades [C#m]away
[C#m]Leaving me to [B]doubt
Lonely crying [A]out
[G#]The words I could not [C#m]say
(Chorus)
[A] My head is [E] empty, [B] screwed on with a [C#m]grin
[A] I’m speechless [E] twisting in the [B] wind
[A] Could I just sit [E] here? [B] I know you under[C#m]stand
[A] It’s hard to [E] love and lose [D] again, [B]again...
(Chorus)

Laying back in the grass
Watching clouds as they pass
I made a wish and it came true
And here you are to feel it too

I Die For You
04:12
|

There’s a face, in the dark [Dm], [Am], [Bb], [C]
I hide from the world outside
And a love that is unspoken
and a heart that has been broken
So I wait
And cry alone at the
New moon rise
And I'm longing for your kiss
And I need to tell you this
I die for you [Dm], [Am], [Bb], [C]
ohhh, ohhh
I die for you
ohhh, ohhh
I die for you
There’s a voice in the blinding rush of a
world gone by
And it's hope that it is sending
Of a love that's never ending
I've been touched
by the hand fate its a constant friend
But I'd throw it all away
Please believe me when I say
I die for you
ohhh, ohhh
I die for you
ohhh, ohhh
I die for you
Theres a secret place I travel to [Bb], [C], [Dm]
and back again
And a soul embrace that heals my faith [Bb], [C], [F7], [D], [G], [Bb]
and lingers in my mind
And I...

The Open Road
05:00
|
|||
|
The sky is wide and the stars are bright I'm here with you in the firelight
The sand is warm and the embers glow The milky way is the home I know.
I feel the wind rushing through my hair, Smell the rain drifting through the air.
A wandering life is all I know. You cannot tame what you cannot hold...
A longing for the open road.
Calling me onward to follow along,
The bend of a song at the sunrise,
Chasing the rays and losing my way,
At the break of the day as the crow flies,
Riding the wind, I'm here nor there,
On a wing and a prayer, Lift your eyes
To the open road.
Gazing out a dusty lane, the stars and sky obscured by panes.
Freedom torn like the kitchen door, there is time for the road no more.
Still we can run with the wind and rain down the corridors of summer grain
I know you miss the unbounded sea But I’m glad you chose a life with me
over the open road.
-ahs- Where the land and the sky draw a line in your mind The horizon collides with the sun...
{Chorus}
Toil subsides, duty fades Passions kindle, long betrayed
Senses heighten, wonder grows Shadows pass in the afterglow.
In timeless hills and canyons deep I contemplate your eternity
For wild souls cannot be contained by earthly vistas or narrow lanes.
One with the open road.
{Chorus}

[F]I looked u[Am]pon a strange re[G]flection
[F]Drones were [Am]buzzing in the [G]sky
[F]People [Am]scattered all [G]directions
But the [Dm]innocent were [G]not afraid to [A]die

September Rain

Head strong, at eighteen [C#m], [B], [C#m],[B],[C#m],[B], [A],[B]
I remember the autumn leaves
Like tears from a late September sky
Stand tall, scarecrow
Everything you reap you sow
True love was satisfied
You were just too young to know
-------------------------------------------------------
Without a flash without a sound [ A], [E], [B]
The little bit of heaven
She gave to you
Came falling down
Crashing to the ground
Then you walked away
Cold in the gray
September Rain x4
-------------------------------------------------------
Stone cold, but not forsaken
You can’t replace what winter’s taken
Waiting for the melting of your heart
So stay cool, Jack Frost
With everything you’ve won you’ve lost
True love will set you free
But freedom always has a cost
-------------------------------------------------------:)

[Ebm] I heard the [Bbm] sound of laughter [B] die [Ebm], [Bbm, [B], [C#]
[C#] Too soon
[Ebm] And it [Bbm] killed
the after- [B] - noon [C#]

On what you [C#] said
[Ebm] It burns the [Bbm] thought
into my [B] head [C#]

[Ebm] You could change your [B] life

You could change your [B] life
[C#] You don't have to stay

[Ebm] I ate your [Bbm] words
and I [B] swallowed til I [C#] choked
[Ebm] spitting [Bbm] out some
filthy [B] joke [C#]
[Ebm] I guess it's [Bbm] fear
the taste of [B] morning in my [C#] mouth
[Ebm] and every [Bbm] day
I wash it [B] out [C#]
