Standard (EADGBE)
Hey you
Put yer chewing gum in my fist
And pass the last over of yer drink
You've known me long enough to know
Yeah I'm in deep and it shows
I met her on grand final day
And from sixteen thousand miles away
Yeah I knew
I was in trouble deep past me boots
You think it's so hard
Alone in the world
Yeah well just try keeping up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
So I strayed (keep your head in the sky)
Til my bridges all burnt in a sneeze (leaving nothing behind)
And I'm holding by the skin of my teeth
She got me grinning like a karaoke king
Without a clue on how the thing begins
And that's where the hell I'll reside
In between the width of her smile
So if you spy me just let me be
I'm far beyond what you knew of me
You think it's so hard
Alone in the world
Yeah well just try keeping up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
You're never alone
It's you against the world
You're the uninvited oyster next to the pearl
The best lesson i've learned - oh yeah -
Keepin up with a beautiful girl -
i need to keep up with that beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
keepin' up with a beautiful girl
keepin' up with a beautiful girl
keepin' up with a beautiful girl
keepin' up with a beautiful girl
end on

Verse 1
I woke up with the war in my head
An old man's grumble, and an extra space in the bed
And if ole' John Prine, could sing the next line
'Bout something that can make me smile
Bridge
I'm gonna have to be content to
Stare at your baby photos till it makes sense
And were you ever mine, anyway?
Speak up as I drop away
Chorus
I wrote down what I think
On the head of a matchstick
Wrote it all short and sweet
All that made sense to me
Burn six thousand miles
Sorry for all the times
I just can't add up all the songs

To find the damage we done

I fought for you like a doll from a tree
I keep a straight stiched face
As the ground makes a bed for me
I keep my eye where I fell it sends no replies

That you're never at home for the fun
I can't make excuses for the short-hand abuses
Thank god it ain't a sunday night

BRING SOME SUN BACK
(maj7) xx0767
I just don't know how to talk to you
There aint much that I want to get through
Just stare at you in silence thats okay
Like a dog outside your window in the rains
You're horse mounts so high that I can't see
The distance that I fall each time you leave
Without the sentences that keep you quiet
And stop me at the line
So go on out in that heat so familiar
Just go on and bring some sun back with you
bring some sun back with you yeah
go on out and bring some sun back with you yeah
Could you give me just a minute of me needs
You've seen me at my worst in its degrees
The garbage growing deep around my toes
Got nothing going for me but my nose
I got a thing going with old Jesus Christ
He keeps me up from sleeping straight at night
And I need to tell you something about the baggage
If I can find the language
Cos she walks like a cello in good vibrations
metered and deadly til I can't help but cave in
bring some sun back with you yeah
go on out and bring some sun back with you yeah
I'm speaking rhythms and rhymes
and metres and times that I should understand
but this big old tongue
should have stoped not begun
Thats why I do not what I say
That stuff can't give me away
Solo
So go on out in that heat so familiar
Just be sure to bring the sun back with you
bring some sun back with you yeah
bring some sun back with you yeah
bring some sun back with you yeah

WEEDS
well, who'dve thought?
Who could know?
That time was ever gonna go this darn slow
and she's late
yeah but you just don't know
if you're ever gonna get on through this year alone
it was the way she put her hand on her hip
and the sparkle in her eye
but you wonder if it's gonna be there all the time
y'know leaves they fall
but you know you're never gonna sweep 'em all
and weeds they grow
peekin' out on thru the grass and snow
yeah
and he's a fake
from his smile to the tatts right there on his toes
but you just not sure if you're ever gonna get thru this yaer alone
he don't hold your hand
yeah just when you need
yeah, but you're sure that twinkle in his eye is just there for you but you
can't ignore
that he sure look slike your dad when he can still look straight at night
when he tucks you in and kisses your belly, and strokes your hair so you
just don't cry
leaves...
you sure wish you knew
who was on the half back flank
back twenty years when you won those flags on back to back
would sure make the stand-off make more sense
if yo ucould stand toe-to-toe on who took the bench
and not htis silent treatment that leaves you wondering if this baby's
heaven sent
it was the way she put her hand on her hip
and the sparkle in her eye
but you wonder if it's gonna be there all the time
leaves...

odd chords used
(maj7) 021000
Sugar sit a while
come and rest your feet
Its been a long long while
since you were been close to me
Lets polish of a few
Underneath the sky
Its pulling all its faces
You wanna stand real quiet
and see just what it brings
we've been running too much
need to miss out on a few things
If we just get it on
Tease and treat me wrong
Birds do it
Bees do it
Drop right down to my knees to do it
Just get me on my feet again
Get me on my feet again
Swinging like a tire
Princess off the beat
Telephone wires with all
Explode at your feet
I'm running out of blood
But i'm never cold
But I need to jump those fences
Holding neath the show
Cos I see just what I need
So drag this boy on over
Let him fall real deep
If we just get it on
Tease and treat me wrong
Birds do it
Bees do it
Drop right down to my knees to do it
Just get me on my feet again
Get me on my feet again
Solo
Sugar I'm a mess
But its where I wanna be
I wanna burn out with a smile
That cuts right through my teeth
Everyone gets rained
Rained on just the same
But lately its been soaking
Us right to the veins
And we're running out of time
So drag this boy on over
And keep him til its light
Can we just get it on
Tease and treat me wrong
Them birds do it
Them bees do it
Drop right down to my knees to do it
Just get me on my feet again
Just get me on my feet again
Just get me on my feet again
Get me on my feet again

OPEN ALL NIGHT
CHORDS USED
It's been a long day and you're still retarded
and can't get started
and your perfect toes just wont sit still
A hundred reasons just to lie down faceless
leave no traces
of the fortunes wrapped up in your head
and no one knows just how
you could turn upside down
you're anything upright
But nothing passes you by
Oh yeah its what you show
If you're in a hurry I'll dress you slow.
Oh yeah each night
nothing passes you by
Your credits good here, you'll always find a seat
Leave the keys out, leave a light on
we're open all night
You never thought that folks could dig their teeth in
just to see if
you could fight or if you'd cry
All because you gave your cheeck up for the kissing
its there for the kicking
you just can't raise your eyes goodbye
and no one knows just how
you could turn upside down
you're anything upright
Let nothing pass you by
Oh yeah its what you show
If you're in a hurry I'll dress you slow.
Oh yeah each night
nothing passes you by
Your credits good here, you'll always find a seat
Leave the keys out, leave a light on
