Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
No words, My tears won't make any room for more,
And it don't hurt, like anything I've ever felt before, this is
No broken heart, No familiar scars,
This territory goes uncharted...
Just me, in a room sunk down in a house in a town, and I
Don't breathe, no I never meant to let it get away from me
Now, I've too much to hold, everybody has to get their hands on gold,
And I want uncharted.
Stuck under the ceiling I made, I can't help but feeling...
I'm going down,
Follow if you want to, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted...
Each day, countin' up the minutes, till I get alone, 'cause I
Can't stay In the middle of it all, it's nobody's fault, but I'm
So lonely, Never knew how much I didn't know,
Oh, everything is uncharted.
I know I'm getting nowhere, when I only sit and stare like..
I'm going down,
Follow if you want to, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, foolproof idea, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted...
Jump start my kaleidoscope heart,
Love to watch the colors fade,
They may not make sense,
But they sure as hell made me.
I won't go as a passenger, no
Waiting for the road to be laid
Though I may be going down,
I'm taking flame over burning out
Compare, where you are to where you want to be, and you'll get no where
I'm going down,
Follow if you want to, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, of foolproof ideas, so don't ask me how
To get started, ohhh...
I'm going down,
Follow if you want to, I won't just hang around,
Like you'll show me where to go,
I'm already out, foolproof ideas, so don't ask me how
To get started, it's all uncharted...
Gonna Get Over You
Goodbye, Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Layin' down the law that I live by,
Though maybe next time
I've got a thick tongue,
Brimming with the words that go unsung
Simmer then the burn for a someone,
A wrong one
And I tell myself to let the story end,
My heart will rest in someone else's hand
My 'why not me?' philosophy began,
And I say
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday
Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me when I'm hurting and make me,
Hang from your hands
Well, no more, I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door
If I make it at the thought of you, what for?
It's not me anymore
And I'm not the girl that I intend to be,
I dare you darling, just you wait and see
But this time not for you but just for me,
And I say
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday
say it's coming soon,
Someday without you,
All I can do is get me past the ghost of you,
Wave goodbye to me,
won't say I'm sorry,
I'll be alright
once I find the other side of
someday
oohoohooohoohooh. . .
Chorus
Verse
I never meant to be the one to let you down
If anything, I thought I saw myself going first
I didn't know how to stick around
How to see anybody but me be getting hurt
I keep remembering the summer night
And the conversation breaking up the mood
I didn't want to tell you you were right
Like the season changing, oh, I felt it too
Chorus
Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon
I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you
.....Hey
.....
Verse
I'm not the kind to try to tell you lies
But the truth is you've been hiding from it too
I see the end sneaking in behind your eyes
Saying things no words could ever do
Chorus
Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon
I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you
Bridge
Is anybody listening?... Cause I'm
Crying... Is anybody listening?
Chorus
Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon
I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you
Does anybody know how to hold my heart
How to hold my heart?
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon
I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark
How to hold my heart
'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go
I don't want to let go, let go, of you
I don't want to let go
Pre-chorus
I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save
Chorus
Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything
Interlude
Verse 2
You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
And ride off into your de-lusional sunset
I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction, oh
But you'll never see
You're so busy making maps
With my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down, Just not the listening
Chorus
Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything
Bridge
All my life I've tried
To make everybody happy while I
Just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide
Interlude
Chorus
Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything
Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything
Say Youre Sorry
Circus of silence down at our feet
Paper cut tigers starting to bleed
Hang from your tightrope above the mess
Just say you're sorry, no more no less
Words you won't use, you don't feel them like I do
Show will be over soon
It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I used to believe that the storybook's true
Now I don't need it, at least not with you
So if you see him, the man 'neath the mask
Tell him I'm leaving and not looking back
Words are no use, you don't need them like I do
Show will be over soon
It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I want the one word that you refuse to say to me
You're so good at giving me responsibility
I wash my hands clean and let you watch me as I go
I'm sorry for you, just so you know
It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
I'm not the one who went and made a mistake
I want to walk away too
But I want you to say you are sorry
The Light
/: x6554x
For the D7/F# I just use thumb for the F#, it's easiest that way
And for the D/F# in the chorus I just play it: 2002xx
In the morning it comes, heaven sent a hurricane
Not a trace of the sun but I don't even run from rain\
Beating out of my chest, my heart is holding on to you
From the moment I knew
From the moment I knew
You're the air in my breath filling up my love soaked lungs
Such a beautiful mess intertwined and overrun
Nothing better than this, ooh, and then the storm can come
You feel just like the sun
Just like the sun
And if you say we'll be alright
I'm gonna trust you babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say we'll be alright
I'll follow you into the light
Nevermind what I knew, nothing seems to matter now
Ooh, who I was without you, I can do without
No one knows where it ends, how it may come tumbling down
But I'm here with you now
I'm with you now
And if you say we'll be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say we'll be alright
I'll follow you into the light
Let the world come rush in, come down hard, come crushing
All I need is right here beside me
I'm not enough I swear it, but take my love and wear it over your shoulders
And if you say we'll be alright
I'm gonna trust you babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say we'll be alright I'll follow you into the light
Basket Case

/: 11x01000
Verse 1
I don't want to talk about it to you
I'm not an open book that you can rifle through
The cold hard truth that you'll see right to
I'm just basket case without you
Verse 2
He's not a magic man or a perfect fit
He had a steady hand, and I got used to it
And a glass cage heart, and invited me in
And now I'm just a basket case without him
Chorus
You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
What good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
Verse 3
I don't say much, and it'll stay that way
You got a steel train touch, and I'm just a track you lay
Aadd4 -7 Gadd2
So I'll stay right here underneath you
I'm just a basket case; its what we do
You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
What good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
Bridge
Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams?
Oh, send your armies in of robbers and thieves
To steal the state I'm in, I don't want it anymore
Gadd2-[slide]-Aadd4-[slide]-Bm7-[slide]-Am/C#
You're begging for the truth
So I'm saying it to you
I've been saving your place
What good does it do?
Now I'm just a basket case
Now I'm just a basket case
Now Im just a basket case
Now Im just a basket case
Intro
I wish I were pretty
I wish I were brave
If I owned this city
Then I'd make it behave
And if I were fearless
Then I'd speak my truth
And the world would hear this
That's what I wish I'd do, yeah
If my hands could hold them you'd see
I'd take all these secrets in me
And I'd move and mold them to be
Something I'd set free
I want to darken in the skies
Open the floodgates up
I want to change my mind
I want to be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I want to cry until the end of time
I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down tonight
I hold on to worry so tight
It's safe in here right next to my heart
Who now shouts at the top of her voice
Let me go, let me out, this is not my choice
And I always felt it before
That the world was filled with much more
Than the drowning soul I've learned to be
I just need the rain to remind me
I want to darken in the skies
Open the floodgates up
I want to change my mind
I want to be enough
I want the water in my eyes
I want to cry until the end of time
I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down tonight
I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down tonight
I want to let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Make a brand new ground
Let the rain come down tonight

Stand in line wasting
All of your time just to hate me
Every dime gone to ways
You can find that might bait me
And drag me down sight set proudly
Bring me to the ground see
You love to be somebody's enemy
Chorus 1
Maybe nobody loved you
when you were young
Maybe boy when you
cry nobody ever comes
Will you try it once?
Give up the machine gun

Verse 2
Locked and loaded
You're practically
floating away now
In your fortress you feel like
You're more or less safe now
But let me say I don't mean harm
Oh but ba--by you'd be charming
if you'd come undone
Get back where you started from

Not Alone
/, /, .)
It comes calling in the evening
When the temperature is dropping out
/
They said it don't get cold here
But I beg to differ now
There is something in the shadows
More than sister silhouette
Something sinister and strange
That I haven't seen yet
Chorus
And I don't want to be alone
Sky, don't let the sun go
I'm not ready for the darkness
Swear upon a heartless soul
And I don't want to cry when you go
Stay a little longer, you know
You're making me feeel
I'm not alone
You don't have to fight the bad guys
Throwing punches out into the black
If you have to tell me lies, I don't care
Just give me some good back
Chorus
And I don't want to be alone
Sky, don't let the sun go
I'm not ready for the darkness
Swear upon a heartless soul
And I don't want to cry when you go
Stay a little longer, you know
You're making me feeel
I'm not alone
Bridge
And if I only worry 'bout it
Worry 'bout it, worry 'bout it
I just keep breaking down
Breaking down, breaking down
Boy, I could do without
Do without, do without
A night of the bad dreams, sad things
Tell me what that means
Chorus
And I don't want to be alone
Sky, don't let the sun go
I'm not ready for the darkness
Swear upon a heartless soul
And I don't want to cry when you go
Stay a little longer, you know
You're making me feeel
I'm not alone
Chorus
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
Open up next to you and my secrets become your truth
And the distance between that was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head, break my heart built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore
Chorus
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
It hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday
I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
Bluebird
Word came through in a letter
One of us changing our minds
7/ / /
You won't need to guess who, since I usually do not send
Letters to me that are mine
Told him I saw this coming
That I'd practically packed up my things
I was glad at the time that I'd said I was fine but
All honesty knows- I wasn't ready, no
And so here we go bluebird
Back to the sky on your own
Oh, let him go bluebird
Ready to fly
You and I, here we go
Here we go
This pair of wings worn and rusted
From too many years by my side
They can carry me swear to be
Sturdy and strong but see
Turning them on still means goodbye
And so here we go bluebird
Gather your strength and rise up
Oh, let him go bluebird
Oh, let him go bluebird
Oh, let him go bluebird
Ready to fly, you and I
Here we go
Here we go
Here we go
