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

 Theres a darkness upon me thats flooded in light

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

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:

My my my hearts like a kick drum

 Were holdin hands in the rain, saying words like “I love you”

 Cha Cha do you love me? Yeah!

My, 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

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

Last night I dreamt the whole night long

I woke with a head full of songs

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

 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

x4

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
