Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Load the car and write the note
Grab your bag and grab your coat
Tell the ones that need to know
We are headed north
One foot in and one foot back
But it don't play to live like that
So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks
For never to return
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape Im in?
My hands they shake my head it spins
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
When at first i learned to speak
I used all my words to fight
With him and her and you and me
Aw but its just a waste of time
Yea its such a waste of time
That women she's got eyes that shine
Like a pair of stolen polished dimes
She asked to dance I said it's fine (aw it's fine)
I'll see you in the morning time
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape Im in?
My hands they shake my head it spins
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Instrumental notes
Three words that became hard to say
I and love and you
What you are then I am today
Look at the things I do
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape Im in?
My hands they shake my head it spins
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Dumb down and numbed by time and age
Your dreams they catch the world the cage
The highway sets the travelers stage
All exits look the same
Three words that became hard to say
I and love and you
I and love and you
I and love and you
She keeps it simple
And I am thankful for her kind of lovin'
'Cause it's simple
No longer do we wonder if we're together
We're way past that
And I've already asked her
So in January we're gettin' married
She's talkin' to me with her voice
Down so low I barely hear her
But I know what she's sayin'
I understand because my heart and hers are the same
And in January we're gettin' married
And I was sick with heartache
And she was sick like Audrey Hepburn when I met her
But we would both surrender
True love is not the kind of thing you should turn down
Don't ever turn it down
I hope that I don't sound to insane when I say
There is darkness all around us
I don't feel weak but I do need sometimes for her to protect me
And reconnect me to the beauty that I'm missin'
And in January we're gettin' married
No longer does it matter what circumstances we were born in
She knows which birds are singin'
And the names of the trees where they're performin' in the mornin
And in January we're gettin' married
Come January let's get married
Theres a darkness upon me thats flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me whats wrong and whats right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And Im frightened by those that dont see it
When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
And your life doesnt change by the man thats elected
If youre loved by someone, youre never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it
*Build up On C to go into the Chorus*
Chorus
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
------
So Ill scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
*Intro once more, just once*
Theres a darkness upon you thats flooded in light
And in the fine print they tell you whats wrong and whats right
And it flies by day and it flies by night
And Im frightened by those that dont see it

Intro
x2
There was light in the room
Then you left and it was through
Then the frost started in on my toes and fingertips
and it spread
and it spread into my heart
and it spread
and it spread into my heart
Then for I don't know how long
I settled in to doing wrong
and as the wind fills the sail
came the thought to hurt myself
and it spread
and it spread into my home
and it spread
and it spread into my song
where there are no lines
separating the truth from the lies
Then you came back from space
with a brand new laugh and a different face
You took my hand and held it up
and shot my arm full of love
and it spread
and it spread into my home
and it spread
and it spread into my song
where there are no lines
separating the truth from the lies

Verse 1 chords:
I wanna have friends that I can trust
That love me for the man I've become not the man I was
I wanna have friends that will let me be
All alone when being alone is all that I need
Interlude 1
[ ], play x2
Verse 2
use verse 1 chords
I wanna fit in to the perfect space
Feel natural and safe in a volatile place
And I wanna grow old without the pain
Give my body back to the earth and not complain
Bridge 1 chords:
Will you understand when I am too old of a man?
And will you forget when we have paid our debt
Who did we borrow from? Who did we borrow from?

Verse 3 chords:
Okay part two now clear the house
The party's over take the shouting and the people, get out
I have some business and a promise that I have to hold to
I do not care what you assume or what the people told you
Bridge 2 chords:
Will you understand, when I am too old of a man?
Will you forget when we have paid our debts
Who did we borrow from, who did borrow from?
Verse 4 chords:
I wanna have pride like my mother has
And not like the kind in the bible that turns you bad
And I wanna have friends that I can trust
That love me for the man I've become and not the man that I was
Ten thousand words swarm around my head
Ten million more in books written beneath my bed
I wrote or read them all when searchin' in the swarms
Still can't find out how to hold my hands
And I know you need me in the next room over
But I am stuck in here all paralyzed
For months I got myself in ruts
Too much time spent in mirrors framed in yellow walls
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
And everyone around me shakes their head in disbelief
And says I'm too caught up
They say young is good and old is fine
And truth is cool but all that matters
Is that you have your good times
But their good times come with prices
And I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make
At anyone's expese except their own
Would they laugh if they knew who paid?
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
And after we are through ten years
Of making it to be the most of glorious day dues
I'll come back home without my things
'Cause the clothes I wore out there I will not wear 'round you
And they'll be quick to point out our short-commings
And how the experts all have had their doubts
Ain't it like most people? I'm no different
We love to talk on things we don't know about
The footprints over the snow, the fabric of all the lonely
Covering only the fables and hands
The rest is out in the cold holding the last of the season
---freezzin, yeah
Chorus 1 chords:

Were walkin in to the fields, were walking into the forest
The moon is before us, up above
Were holdin hands in the rain, saying words like I love you
Cha Cha do you love me? Yeah!

My, my hearts like a kick drum
My, my hearts like a kick drum

Mother Mary heard us approaching her door
Though we didnt make a sound
Verse 3
Theres nothing like finding gold within the rocks and the coal
'STOP'
Im so surprised to find more always surprised to find more
I wont look back anymore I left the people that do
Its not the chase that I love, its me following you
Chorus 3
My, my, my hearts like a kick drum

My, my hearts like a kick drum

My, my hearts like a kick drum
Verse 1 chords:
Don't push me out, just a little longer
Stall your mother, disregard your fathers words
Verse 2 chords:
Close the laundry door, tiptoe across the floor
Keep your clothes on, I got all that I can take
Teach me how to use the love that people say you made
Verse 3
Stop your parents car, I just saw a shooting star
We can wish upon it
but we wont share the wish we made
But i cant keep no secrets
I wish that you would always stay
Verse 4
Last night I dreamt the whole night long
I woke with a head full of songs
I spent the whole day
I wrote em down but its a shame
Tonight Ill burn the lyrics, cause every chorus was your name

Break this tired old routine

Verse 1 chords:
I am sick with wanting and it's evil and it's daunting
How I let everything I cherish lay to waste
I am lost in greed, this time it's definitely me
I point fingers but there's no one there to blame
Pre-chorus 1 chords:
A need for something, now let me break it down again
A need for something but not more medicine
Verse 2
I am sick of wanting and it's evil how it's got me
And every day is worse than the one before
The more I have the more I think I'm almost where I need to be
If only I could get a little more
A need for something, now let me break it down again
A need for something but not more medicine
Chorus 1 chords:
Something has me, oh something has me
Acting like someone I don't wanna be
Something has me, oh something has me
Acting like someone I know isn't me
Ill with want and poisoned by this ugly greed
Interlude
[ - - ] x3, then
Verse 3
Temporary is my time, ain't nothing on this world that's mine
Except the will I found to carry on
Free is not your right to chose
It's answering what's asked of you
To give the love you find until it's gone
A need for something, now let me break it down again
A need for something but not more medicine
Chorus 2
use chorus 1 chords
Something has me, oh something has me
Acting like someone I don't wanna be
Something has me, oh something has me
Acting like someone I know isn't me
Ill with want and poisoned by this ugly greed
Ill with want and poisoned by this ugly greed
Ill with want and poisoned by this ugly greed
You can't be like me
But be happy that you can't
I see pain but I don't feel it I am like the old tin man
I'm as worn as a stone
I keep it steady as I can
I see pain but I don't feel it I am like the old tin man
I miss it
I miss it
Oh, I miss that feeling of feeling
I used to fill the sky around with happiness and joy
I had news to give the wind to keep my sails and heart employed
I felt people move around me
I felt loneliness and shame
Back then every day was different now each moment is the same
I miss it
I miss it
Oh, I miss that feeling of feeling (X2)
The feeling of feeling
The wind upon my face
And caring what it brings this way
The feeling of feeling
The minutes pass away
And caring what I do with them
Maybe bring me love or something else
Fill:
And so it goes a man grows cold
Some would say a man grows strong
They say life only grows short
I say the road only grows long
But as long as there's a road
My feet will never touch the ground
And if you won't give my heart back I've no need to stick around
I miss it
I miss it
Oh, I miss that feeling of feeling (X2)
The feeling of feeling
The feeling of feeling

They say you've got to lose a couple fights to win
It's hard to tell from where I'm sitting
They say that this is where the fun begins
I guess it's time that I was quitting
A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it art like I was hoping now?
They said "I hope that you will never change"
I went and cut my hair
They say "Don't take your business to the big time"
I bought us tickets there
A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it art like I was hoping now?
What did you expect
And what did you forget
That to live you let go of me with each step
It becomes a progression I won't let regret manifest
To aggression
Are you to assess what I've been? What I am? Or become?
Did you stop to accept how pathetically dumb
It can be to
Attack those around 'cause you're
True to color, a town, a time, or a place?
It's not you, it's not mine
And besides it is gone
And you never will find it again
But I don't want to fight
I just ask let me be
I won't give the chance to be my enemy
So go home
Think it through
A jet plane and a big idea
I jump over the sea
What ifs hot on my trail
But that can't catch me, no
A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it art like I was hoping now?
I lost my fear in your arms
I lost my tears in your car
I lost my will in your candle lit eyes
And all my love in your yard
Prechorus
Baby would you leave me if you knew that I was making it up?
And underneath the love you got to wonder am I giving you up?
No way am I
Chorus
It goes on.
Verse 2
Violent is the motion in my heart and in my body and mind.
And silent is the feeling that I lost but I'm determined to find.
And love is but an ocean, unrealistic notion, but I cling to her devotion,
and I let it pull me down to the floor.
Chorus
It goes on, on, on, on.
It goes on, on, on, on.
It goes on, on, on, on.
It goes on, on, on.
Verse 3
I found my will in your car
I caught my tears in your arms
I found myself on that poor county drive
And found my love in your guard
Prechorus
Baby would you leave me if you knew that I was making it up?
And underneath the love you got to wonder am I giving you up?
No way am I.
Chorus
It goes on, on, on, on.
It goes on, on, on, on.
It goes on, on, on, on.
It goes on, on, on.
It goes on, on, on.
I havent finished a thing since I started my life
I dont feel much like starting now.
Walking out lonely has worked like a charm
Im the only one I have to let down.
But watching you makes me think that that is wrong
I can go on with my insecure nature
I can keep living off sympathy.
I can tell all the people that all of my success
Is a direct reflection on me.
But watching you makes me think that that is wrong
What is important? Whats really important?
Am I not to know by my name?
Will I ever know silence without mental violence?
Will the ringing at night go away?
Its up to you.
My father told me.
I havent finished a thing since I started my life
I dont feel much like starting now. x4
I havent finished a thing since I started my life. x2
