Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
I married in the sun, (tell me where, tell me where)
against the stone of buildings built before
you and I were born. (start again, start again)
To my heart, confusion grows against.
The muscles fought so long (fought so long)
to control against
the pull of one magnet to another magnet to another magnet.
Now we look up in (tell me who, tell me who)
to the eyes of bullies breaking backs.
They seem so very tough. (it's a lie; it's a lie)
They seem so very scared of us.
I look into the mirror (look into)
for evil that just does not exist.
I don't see what they see. (tell them that; tell them that)
Try to control the pull of one magnet
to another magnet,
to another magnet,
to another magnet to another.

Verse 1 alternative:
Verse 1
I miss you now,
I guess like I should've missed you then.
My body moves,
like curtain waving in and out of wind;
in and out of windows.
I can't untangle,
what I feel and what would matter most.
I can't close an eye, I can't close an eyelid.
Now there's just no point reaching out for me.
Chorus
In the dark, I'm just no good at giving relief.
In the dark, it won't be easy to find relief.
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me.
But I promise this: I won't go my whole life,
telling you I don't need.
But I promise this: I won't go my whole life,
telling you I don't need.
Verse 2
I'll tell you now,
I guess like I should've told you then.
The thunder moves,
like damn drawers slamming in my frame,
slamming in my framework.
I can't untangle,
what I know and what should matter most.
I can't close an eye, I can't close an eyelid.
Now there's just no point reaching out for you.
Chorus
In the dark, I'm just no good at giving relief.
In the dark, it won't be easy to find relief.
And I'm not proud that nothing will seem easy about me.
But I promise this: I won't go my whole life,
telling you I don't need.
But I promise this: I won't go my whole life,
telling you I don't need.
But I promise this: I won't go my whole life,
telling you I don't need.
But I promise this: I won't go my whole life,
telling you I don't need.

I listened in Yes I'm guilty

I have to go Yes I know the feeling

Calm down, I'm calling back to say

Nobody likes to but I
really like to cry
Nobody likes me Maybe if I cry

ARE YOU TEN YEARS AGO?
I'm taken, I am yours (if you show, you show)
I am up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (if you go, you go)
I am up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (if you show, you show)
I am up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (if you go, you go)
I am up and doing circles
I collapse
I might stay out longer then
I left the light on for you then
If you show, you show
If you show you show
When I feel like this
When I get so into myself
I lose track of where I'm going
then lose track of how to get going again
Feel myself slowing down
Fell myself turning round
Is this taken?
When I feel like this
When I get so sick
Of myself, where are you going then
Without me and not knowing then
That were slowing down
Youve got to turn right around
And tell me that I'm taken then
Tell me if I'm yours
You collapse
The pressure of this life is so
you can't be held accountable
if you go, you go
if you go you go
when you act like this
when you get so sick
of yourself the whole world falls away
in sense I feel like I
have only missed that I'm here again
the feeling that I'm clear again
I'm not taken
When you act like this
When you get so into yourself
I lose sight of common goals
And letting go so I can be
All alone
Feel myself going slow
Feel myself letting go
Not taken
Not feeling like I'm yours
I'm taken, I am yours (if you show, you show)
I am up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (if you go, you go)
I am up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (if you show, you show)
I am up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (if you go, you go)
I am up and doing circles
I collapse
This life looks like a sentence
Though a constant game of falling short
If you know, you know
If you know you know
When I feel like this
When I'm just so sick
Of feeling less than perfect
Isn't right for me
I never fight to see
if coming clean would get to me
I feel myself holding back
I feel the pressure
It's finally back
I'm taken
When you felt like this
When you saw it all come crashing down
Subtle but not underground
I was there I saw the signs, I saw unfair
and so I write to you through other means
I let myself finally feel
Taken, like I was yours
I'm taken, I am yours (I feel sick)
I am up and doing circles
I taken, I am yours (I feel)
I am up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (I feel sick)
I am up and doing circles
I taken, I am yours (I feel)
I am up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (I feel sick)
I am up and doing circles
I taken, I am yours (I feel)
I am up and doing circles
I'm taken, I am yours (I feel sick)
I am up and doing circles
I taken, I am yours (I feel)
I am up and doing circles
I'm taken; I am yours (I feel)
I am up and doing circles
I'm taken; I am yours (I feel)
I am up and doing circles
I collapse
I collapse
I collapse
TRACK SIX
BACK IN YOUR HEAD
Build a wall of books between us in our bed
repeat, repeat the words i know we both said
relax into the need we get so comfortable
remember when i was so strange and likeable
i just want back in your head
i just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful but I'll stray
When I get a little scared
When I get a little scared
When I get a little
When I jerk away from holding hands with you
I know these habits hurt important parts of you
remember when how sweet and unexplainable
nothing like this person unloveable
i just want back in your head
i just want back in your head
I'm not unfaithful but I'll stray
When I get a little scared
When I get a little scared
When I get a little
Run, run, run
Run
Run, run, run
Run

HOP A PLANE
Verses
Chorus
Bridge
I took the train back, back to where I came from.
I took it all alone, its been so long, I know.
Imagine me there: my heart asleep with no air.
Begging, Ocean, please, help me drown these memories.
All I need to hear is that youre not mine;
Youre not mine.
Im moving east, then, somewhere far away from
the sight of my hands; the sight of me not moving.
You cant just hop a plane and come and visit me again.
I claim its in my head and I regret offering.
All I need to hear is that youre not mine;
Youre not mine.
All I want to hear is that youre not mine;
Youre not mine.
You take a second, take a second;
Take a year, take a year.
You took me out and took me in and told me all of this and
Then you take a moment, take a moment;
Take a year, take a year.
You help me out, I listen in, you taught me all of this and
All I want to hear is that youre not mine;
Youre not mine.
All I want to hear is that youre not mine;
Youre not mine.
All I need to hear is that youre not mine;
Youre not mine.
All I want to hear is that youre not mine;
Youre not mine.

SOIL, SOIL
Verse 1
Oh, and Im feeling directionless, yes,
But thats to be expected, and I know that best.
In creeps the morning and another days lost
Youve just written wondering, and I reply fast
Prechorus
All you need to save me.
All you need to save me:
Chorus
Call.
And Ill be curled on the floor
Hiding out from it all
And I wont take any other call
Verse 2
I feel like a fool so Im going to stop troubling you.
Buried in my yard; a letter to send to you.
And if I forget, or God forbid, die too soon,
Hope that youll hear me, know that I wrote to you
Prechorus
All you need to say to me.
All you need to say to me,
Chorus
Is Call.
And Ill be curled on the floor
Hiding out from it all.
And I wont take any other call.
TRACK NINE
BURN YOUR LIFE DOWN
Tell me that you know another way to get it done
Its not me, or how I would be,
But its a different situation, a different situation
You lay awake in the night just staring at the ceiling above
Pulling pieces of it out is such a waste of time
Keep on fighting to remember this
That nothing is lost in the end
When you burn, burn, burn your life down
Get me to the door, out of bed, on the track,
Im not sure of starting over
Its a different situation, a different situation.
You wake up in the night and refuse to be afraid of it now
Unfolding pieces of it faster, dont you waste your time.
Youve been planning to remember this,
And nothing will be lost in the end.
When you burn, burn, burn your life down
When you burn, burn, burn your life down
I drive around the block and Im not looking to my right
I feel the glass against my cheek and I cant see you in the light.
I break my heart around this; break my heart around this.
I drive around the block and Im not looking to my right
I feel the glass against my cheek and I cant see you in the light.
I break my heart around this; break my heart around this pole.

DARK COME SOON
NOTE:
Ok, my friends, ENJOY!!!!!

(The riff in F5 can be played in several ways. I just wrote down one that I liked, but
can strum any string as long as it follows the same chord and sounds good.)

Saved
From one more day of misery

Get back for me now
Everyone I love

Chorus 1
(Strumming in a fast tempo, not following a riff anymore)
So I conned, I lied
I lied to me too (so what?)
So I conned, I lied
I lied to me too (so what?)
(Light strumming. When you first switch the first chord strum harder the first time)
Hold
Out for the ones you know will love you
Hide
Out from the ones you know will love you
You, you too
(In this part the chords are the same as before, but some notes are switched, so that
match the riff heard in the background.

TRACK FIFTEEN
CALL IT OFF
I won't regret saying this
This thing that I'm saying
Is it better than keeping my mouth shut
That goes without saying
Call, break it off
Call, break my own heart
Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at
Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at
But now we'll never know
I won't be sad, but in case I go there
Everyday, to make myself feel bad
There's a chance that I'll start to wonder
If this was the thing to do
I won't be out long
But I still think it better if
You take your time coming over here
I think that's for the best
Call, break it off
Call, break my own heart
Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at
Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at
But now we'll never know
I won't be sad, but in case I go there
Everyday, to make myself feel bad
There's a chance that I'll start to wonder
if this was the thing to do
I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do
