There's people searching for a better way, To live their lives. Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say As tears of sadness soak the ground. The reaper crept in, took his breath away, In the middle of the night. [Chorus] We celebrate the lives of the dead, It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies. We gather 'round to pay our respects, While their souls are still searching for the light, (BACK TO VERSE CHORDS) Searching for the light. [Verse] So please don't come to me on my dying day, Just let me go in peace. With all the things that I forgot to say, Still racing through my mind. And don't you bury me six feet under ground, Just burn my body in a box. And let my ashes blow with the wind, Out into the night.... sky. [Chorus] We celebrate the lives of the dead, It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies. We gather 'round to pay our respects, While their souls are still searching for the light, (BACK TO VERSE CHORDS) Searching for the light. We celebrate the lives of the dead, It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies. We gather 'round to pay our respects, While their souls are still searching for the light, (BACK TO VERSE CHORDS) Searching for the light. ------------ "Sleeping Sickness" Capo 4 I awoke Only to find my lungs empty And through the night So it seems I'm not breathing And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down And I'm afraid To sleep because of what haunts me Such as living with the uncertainty That I'll never find the words to say Which would completely explain Just how I'm breaking down [Chorus] Someone come and, someone come and save my life Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead But now it's like the night is taking sides With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind Could it be this misery will suffice? I've become A simple souvenir of someone's kill And like the sea I'm constantly changing from calm to ill Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole oh, how I'm breaking down [Chorus] oooohhh my life Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life) Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life) Someone come and, someone come and save my life Could it be this misery will suffice? ------------ "What Makes A Man" [Intro] (,,) [Verse 1] I can hear my train a comin' Its a lonesome and distant cry I can hear my train a comin' Now I'm running for my life What makes a man walk away from his mind? I think I know I think I might know [Verse 2] I can feel the wind blowing Sending shivers down my spine I can feel the wind blowing Shakes the trees and the power lines What makes a man spend his whole life in disguise? I think I know I think I might know [Chorus] What makes a man? (I think I know) What makes a man? (I think I know) What makes a man? Oh oh oh Repeat chords [Verse 3] I can see the sun setting Its casting shadows on the sea I can see the sun setting Its getting colder starting to freeze What makes a man want to break a heart with ease I think I know I think I might know [Chorus] What makes a man? (I think I know) What makes a man? (I think I know) What makes a man? [Verse 4] I can hear my train a comin' Looks like time is on my side I can hear my train a comin' I'm still running for my life What makes a man pray when he's about to die? I think I know I think I might know [Chorus] x2 What makes a man? (I think I might know) What makes a man? (I think I might know) What makes a man? Oh oh oh (End on Am) ------------ "Waiting" [Chords] Cmaj7 [3,3,2,0,0,0] Am9 [3,3,2,2,0,0] G6 [3,3,0,0,0,0] F#11b9 [3,2,4,0,0,0] Em [0,2,2,0,0,0] Em11 [5,5,4,0,0,0] A coma might feel better than this, attempting to discover where to begin. You're weighed down, you're full of something. G6-F#11b9 Of sickness, and desertion. You're weighed down, you're full of something, G6-F#11b9 you're underneath it all. So say goodbye to love, and hold your head up high. There's no need to rush we're all just waiting, waiting to die. (Slide the Em11 down to Cmaj7, listen to the track to get the timing) Hoping a better place is all I need, with moments of innocence and mystery. Oh, it's the little things you miss. G6-F#11b9 Like waking up all alone. Oh, it's the little things you miss, when you're underneath it all. So say goodbye to love, and hold your head up high. There's no need to rush we're all just waiting, waiting to die. All your friends seem like enemies when you're broken down and empty. Oooh. All your friends seem like enemies when you're broken down and empty. Oooh. Em(let ring) G6(let ring) So say goodbye to love, Em11(let ring) Cmaj7(let ring and hold your head up high. There's no need to rush we're all just waiting, waiting to die. ------------ "Constant Knot" [Chords] Asus4: 33220X Em: 022030 G: 320033 Gm: 200033 Bm: 024030 [Intro] [Verse 1] How much would you bet? That if i tried hard enough. I would spontane-ously combust. I wish I could disappear, and run away from all of my fears, I think I'm coming undone... Asus4 Em Ba ba da da, ba ba, ba da da dah. [Chorus] So stay the night, I promise, that I won't bite. 'Cause without you there I don't think that I, could close my eyes. [Verse 2] How do I end up this way? A constant knot in my gut. Tied with uncertain-ty, and with lust. A classic case I suppose. A haunted man who can't outrun his ghosts. They're in my skin and my bones. [Chorus] So stay the night, I promise, that I won't bite. 'Cause without you there I don't think that I, could close my eyes. [Outro] (same as verse) Now I sing. Ba ba da da, ba ba, ba da, da dah, ba ba da da, dah etc ------------ "Against the Grain" Capo: 4th fret / (332010) - (x02210) - (320003) - (133210) you need not to climb mountaintops G Fmaj7 etc. you need not to cross the sea you need not to find a cure for everything that makes you weak you need not to reach for the stars when life becomes so dark and when the wind does blow against the grain you must follow your heart you must follow your heart and all your friends have come and gone and the sun no longer shines and the happiness for which you long is washed away like an ocean's tide when all the hard times outweigh the good and all your words are misunderstood when the day seems lost from the start you must follow your heart you must follow your heart if you feel you've paid the price and your wounds should cease to heal and everything you love in life spins like a winding wheel if you should wake to find you're abandoned and the road you travel leads to a dead end when death creeps in to play its part you must follow your heart you must follow your heart ------------ "The Girl" Capo 3rd Fret Standard Tuning / I wish I could do better by you 'cause that's what you deserve, You sacrifice so much of your life in order for this to work. While I'm out chasin' my own dreams, Sailin' around the world, Please know that I'm yours to keep, my beautiful girl. When you cry, a piece of my heart dies, knowing I may have been the cause If you were to leave, fulfill someone else's dreams, I think I might totally be lost. You don't ask for no diamond rings, No delicate string of pearls, That's why I wrote this song to sing, my beautiful girl. Oh----------- ------------ "Sensible Heart" CAPO 2 I get so distracted By some peoples reactions That I don't see my own faults For what they are For what they are At times so self destructive With no intent or motive But behind this emotion, There lies a sensible heart A sensible heart See I'm no king I wear no crown But desperate times Seem over now But still I weaken somehow It tears me apart It tears me apart I hope to learn as time goes by That I should trust what's deep inside Burning bright, oh burning bright My sensible heart My sensible heart My sensible heart My sensible heart ----------------------- "As Much as I Ever Could" [Intro] --- [Verse 1] Love of mine, Won't you lay by my side And rest your weary eyes Before we're out of time Give me one last kiss For soon, such distance Will stretch between our lips Now the day's losing light oooooooooooooooo [Chorus] Bring me your love, tonight Bring me your love, tonight [Verse 2] Lost at sea My heart beat is growing weak Hoping you'd hear my plea And come save my life As the storm grew fierce An angel was certainly near I knew there was nothing to fear [Chorus] Bring me your love, tonight Bring me your love, tonight No I am not where I belong Bring me your love, tonight No I am not where I belong So shine a light and guide me home No I am not where I belong So shine a light, guide me back home ooooooooooooooooo
