Em Bm7 Em Bm7

When I look around

Em Bm7 Em Bm7

See everyone having fun, laughing like the sun

Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7

I guess I want to be a part, not standing miles apart

Em Bm7 Em Bm7

On another star

How can life be so easy

That you can take it as it comes, live it on the run

Enjoy the moment as it passes, not making sideways glances

And dwell on all those wasted chances

Dm7 – F#m7 – Am7

Am I missing something

G Fmaj7

Did I fail to see

Dm7 – F#m7 – Am7

That we’re missing something

Bm7 Em Bm7 Em Bm7

You and me

If I could stop for a minute

Thinking about the past, mind working much too fast

Forget about tomorrow, about what’s to follow

And take things slow

Never mind ideals

Stick with what I feel, not wheels within wheels

In touch with emotions, not stuck on an ocean

Of lost dreams

Fire burns, but coldness leaves a lifelong pain

Em Am7 Bb

Your heart frozen till the end of time

C Dm7

In perfect sadness

Wounds heal but rejection’s something you’ll always feel

Turns your love to a soul of steel

With no warmth inside

Gm7 Am7

And being with you

Gm7 Am7

Seeing everything you do. Is like playing with

Dm7 – Am-G

Ice

Dm7 Em

A warm kiss could never melt

Dm7 Em

Take away the hurt I’ve felt

Dm7 – Am-G

Like playing with ice

Winter dies and the sun breaks through cloudy skies

All around I see a hundred eyes

Smiling with spring

But here by your side

Further than an ocean wide. It’s like playing with

Ice

Your body language steeped in frost

Fell I’m on a mountain top

Playing with ice

I’ve been down

G Em Am7 D

Low as a man can be

G Em Am7 D

Played around

G Em Am7 D

Blind to what was happ’ning to me

Bm7 Em Bm7 Em

Now these feelings I can’t hide

Bm7 C G A

Feeling all this warmth inside. And...

D Bm7 Em A

Love

D Bm7 Em A

Feel like loving tonight

D Bm7 Em A

Yeh Love

D Bm7 Em C

I feel like loving tonight

You were there

Just when I needed you

I’ve got to share

And I know we can see this through

These emotions I can’t deny

Feeling all this warmth inside. And

C G C G

Don’t ask me the reason why

C G A

You’re the only one can ever buy my...

Anguish is my destiny

G A

Born with the morals of Ghandi

G A

And the willpower of a piece of candy

D A Em F#m

I aint proud of history

G A

Make a hundred resolutions each day

G A

But don’t ever have the courage to say

Bm7

Please help me

G D Em

But I’m gonna make it this time

G D A

I think at last don’t ask me why I’m..

G D

Free

A G

And I’m staying this way

D A

Yeh I’m free

G A

And I aint afraid I’m

G D

Free

A G

Aint never going back I’m

D A

Free

G

I’m on the right track

Weakness is my mystery

How did I lose that piece of mind

That comes when you know you’re fine

Have that ability

To keep true to your inner self

And not care what anyone else

Thinks of you

And I’m gonna start things new

Gonna be proud of everything I do. I’m...

E B F#m

You wake me up

A E F#m A B

When I’m in the deepest sleep

E B F#m

You fill me up

A E F#m A B

With a love that’s oh so deep

You make me smile

When I’m down and feeling blue

You’ll make me laugh a while

And I know your heart is true. And...

E B A B

You bring out the best in me

E B A

I’d be a different guy

E B A B

Without you by my side

E B A

You bring out the best in me

C#m

I’d be lost

A

And not worth the cost

E B F#m

Of a call on your mobile phone

C#m

A waste of space

A

With an empty face

E B F#m

And a heart without a home. And...

You’ll always stay

To keep me on the right road

I’m not afraid

When I know I’ve got you to hold. And...

C G

You know I love the wind

F G Am

The smallest breeze can carry me away

G

Make me fly let my spirits sail

Fmaj7

Up in the sky

I live for the future

And sleep with dreams of perfect days

Nothing can take away my gaze

When I’m feeling high

Em-Am Em-Am

I’m tornado bait

C G

Waiting for the big thrill

Am F

When it blows I won’t stop until

C

I’m far away

The weather is my escape

Looking at the sky, feeling the air

The summer heat knows where

Its gonna change

I need it to rise

Lift my feet clear of the ground

The storm breaking all around

And my soul on fire

Am F

And when it lays me back again

C G F

Down on the ground I won’t feel no pain

Am F

A new landscape to set me free

C G F G

Till the day when the wind takes me

When I look back

Am7 G Am7 G

On everything I’ve done

Am7 G Am7 G

And think about what happened

F

And the way things have run

Am7 D

I can’t make no sense

E D C9

Of the way it turned out

Am7 D

I didn’t mean to be here

E D C9

I never chose my route. And...

G – C G - C

All my yesterdays

G – C G - C

Were once my tomorrows

E D C D

And all my hopes

C9

Are now just my sorrows

I never made a choice

To get my own way

Just flowed with the tide

Lived for each day

But I should’ve kept an eye

On what was all around

Looked ahead on the road

And maybe I’d have found. That...

F Am7

So now all my past

G F

Is just a pile of regret

C G

I’ve run out of the future

F9

And I’ve got nowhere yet. And...

Am7 C

Building palaces in my mind

G D

Taking you up the gilded stairs

Am7 D

To have your hand in mine

My vision knows no bounds

But I’m tied to the body I wear

It don’t matter what I’ve found

You catch my eye and you don’t care. So..

G D Am7

Here’s looking at you

G Am7

The closest I’ll ever get

G Am7

Is a glance you’ll soon forget

G D Am7

Here’s looking at you

I can lie all night

Wishing you were next to me

Sometimes I reach out and find

A cold space where you could be

You don’t know my name

And don’t know how I feel

Life for you is just a game

I’m the loser with a face of steel. So..

Bm7 Am7

It don’t matter how much I suffer

Em D

I’ll never ever be your lover. And...

Can you keep a secret

C F

There’s a place I know

Am G

‘Sgonna keep me rich in my old age

F C

Where only I can go

It’s hidden in your eyes

And sealed in your lips

But its heart glitters like a star

[end on G]

And its opened with a kiss. It’s a...

Am-G-F

Goldmine

Em G

This love is all I need

Am G Am G

To make me rich beyond my wildest dreams

F Em G

There’s a goldmine lying here

I travelled many years

Before i struck the vein

That’d have me laughing in my sleep

And like a child again

Gonna never tell a soul

About my hidden wealth

Gonna keep your precious treasure

Just only for myself. It’s a...

C G

This lode runs strong and deep

Dm C

To the centre of my life

Am G

We’ll keep its shining riches safe

F G

And this love will never die. It’s a...

C Dm

We’ll go just you and me

C Dm

Leave early before the dawn

C Gm7

Cross dewy moors still dreaming

Am7

Whisper through fields of corn

C Gm7

Till we reach the high ground

Bb Am7

Where the air is clear and bright

C Bb

And we’ll know only you and me

Am7

Can wait here for the light. From our..

F C G F C

High stand, looking down far below

F C G F C

From our high stand we can always know

Dm G

Everything that should’ve been

Dm G

And everything that might’ve been

F C G F C

From our high stand, see the right way to go

And I’ll take your hand

We can talk like old friends

All the things we’ve ever said

Will come rushing to our heads. On our...

Bb C

The land down below

F Dm C

All our memories and lives

Dm Am

We gotta make some space sometime

Gm7 Am7

Clear our minds so we can find. Our...

Washed up for dead

Am Em-F Am Em-F

Stranded on this lonely shore

Am Em-F Am Em-F

A thousand miles from your touch

Am Em-F Am Em-F

Don’t know if I can take much more

G Am

Got noone to talk to

C G

Not even a friend

G Am

I’m living as a castaway

F G

And I think this could be the end. Like...

Am – Em Am - Em

Robinson Crusoe

F C G

Aint had no love for so long

Am – Em Am - Em

Like Robinson Crusoe

F G Am

I just don’t know what’s going on

Gazing out at sea

For a ship to pass me by

I guess its any port in a storm

I need someone to make me sigh. Like...

Fm C G

I wasn’t meant to be alone

Am – G – F – C - G

I’m dying here so far from home

Fm C G

Got nobody to call my own

Am – G – F – C - G

You know my heart aint made of stone

G/C G/B Em7 D

Its shining like my hate

G/C G/B Em7 D

Creeping slowly down my back into the creek

G/C G/B Em7 D

A channel of pain

G/C G/B Em7 D

With the heat of a fever

C G

Nothing grows in these metal waters ‘cept

Am7

Despair

C G

Fish try to swim away

Em D

And only the bodies dare

G/C G/B Em7 D

Show their faces to the sun

Em D

And what did I do wrong

G Am7

This river’s killing me

C G

And what is going on

Am7

On the Brass River

A thousand paper huts
Unwilling waders in the slime
Don’t fall into these waters
You might never walk again

C D

Oil feeds our hate

Em Am
Bitter like mangrove leaves

C D

With the dead eyes of a crab

Em Am7

We walk sideways along its banks

Em Am7
Keep our gaze out to sea
C D Em C G

And our minds closed to history

Are you Still (are you still are you still) Coming

Are you Still (are you still are you still) Coming

Are you Still (are you still are you still) Coming

Well I aint fast

Gotta make the moment last

Like it slow

Wanna feel it grow and grow

Touch my body

Like I really was somebody

Let it flow

Yeh only you can know

Just keep it going till its gone

Tonight I need it deep and strong

Well I aint full

And I aint playing it so cool

I want more

Can kiss till my lips are sore

This aint no foxtrot

A don’t drink no single shots

I want it long

Yeh you just go on and on

Ride the steep hill along the shore

E A

Past the shimmering island sea

F#m B

Glance through lines of rubber trees

C#m7

To the jungle down below

Leave the road down a beaten track

With cicadas chatting you the way

Till the palms reach the white sands

And you’ve found your hideaway. In...

A

Coconut Grove

B

Where you can lie all day

E A

In the shade where the shadows play

B

The soft waves make a gentle sound

E B

And there’s peace all around

C#m7

In coconut grove

Lie under the twisted palms

Let your mind travel far away

Across the ocean to another time

And deep in its still waters

Stay until the sun is low

And when you’ve let the darkness grow

Leave softly with a sad heart

Knowing you’ve kept just a smallest part

Of coconut grove

Intro: Dm G x8

Dm G

Chewing up the road

C – G – Dm – Am - G

In a fast car, not carrying a load

Dm G

Heading straight down the line

C – G – Dm – Am - G

With my foot down, I aint coming back this time

C G

Eating up the miles

F G

Cos I gotta get out of here

Am – G - F

Drive my way out of this life

C G

Cos I gotta get out of here

Stopping for nothing

Putting days on the clock, and no more suffering

From you and your face

Just the sound of my wheels, and the highways I take

Am F

This trip is going all the way

C G

I don’t care where it ends

Am - G - F

I just need that white line ahead

C G

And no memories inside my head

F Am7

Makes me wanna run away again

G Am7

To somewhere the air is bright

F G

And the middle of the day don’t seem like the middle of the night

My spirit falls with the clouds

And nothing makes me smile around

The mercury drops with my hopes

And I can just sit and try to cope

C

Till the summer

G Dm7 F

When the grey turns to green

C G F9

And all becomes a different scene

ChorusA:

C-G-F-G

When it shines

C-G-F-G

Seems like I’m in a different place

C-G-F-G

Everythings showing me a smiling face

C-G-F-G

When it shines

All my problems fade away

I can lie and enjoy each day

Nothing’s there to spoil the view

And all i see is looking bright and new

When it shines

I can forget the cold

The future’s looking fine and bold

When it shines

C G Dm7 F

My happiness goes with the weather

C G Dm7

Seems like I can keep on laughing forever

C G Dm7 F

If there’s not a cloud in the sky

C G F7

Everything just makes me high

What do you see

G F

When you look at me

Am G F

A threat or an opportunity

Is there a chance of something

A prayer and a wing

Or a bookful of nothing

Em F

I didn’t load the die

C G

Don’t matter if I smile

Am - G - F

Cos When you catch my gaze

Am G F6 F

I’m just an interesting face

G Em

Trains leave without me

G Em

Traffic lights turn red

C G

Appointments get forgotten

F9

Promises don’t get kept

I didn’t write the tune

Noone wants to hear my song

And when you’re on my case

I’m just an interesting face

What do you recall

Am I worth anymore

Space in your telephone memory

Just something to forget

Not worth a distant bet

Or a piece of your history
