D Friday night I'm going nowhereG D GAll the lights are changing green to redD Turning over TV stationsG D GSituations running through my headDLooking back through time G You know it's clear that I've been blind D GI've been a foolDTo open up my heart G D G EmTo all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
DSaturday I'm running wildG D GAnd all the lights are changing red to greenDMoving through the crowd I'm pushing G D GChemicals all rushing in my bloodstreamDOnly wish that you were here GYou know I'm seeing it so clear D GI've been afraidDTo show you how I really feelG D GAdmit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
D AIf you want it EmCome and get it A DCrying out loud
AThe love that I was EmGiving you was G DNever in doubt

Sunday all the lights of LondonShining sky is fading red to blue
Kicking through the Autumn leavesAnd wondering where it is you might be going toTurning back for homeYou know I'm feeling so aloneI can't believeClimbing on the stairI turn around to see you smiling thereIn front of me
If you want itCome and get itCrying out loudThe love that I wasGiving you wasNever in doubt
Let go of your heartLet go of your headAnd feel it now
Let go of your heartLet go of your headAnd feel it now
Let go of your heartLet go of your headAnd feel it now
Let go of your heartLet go of your headAnd feel it now

Lost Songs
Flame Turns BlueGuitar is retuned to open E and then a capo placed on fret 3. If you are unsure of how to do this please click the retuning icon at the top of the page

I never noticed, hadn't seen it as it grew, the void between us where the flame turned blue
then back to the main sequence thing and so on (play sequence 2 twice for the "if i lost you" bit) until "in the morning i will sing.."
Different places though they all look much the sameDreams of faces and the streets devoured by namesI'm in collision with every stone I ever threwBlind ambition where the flame turns blue
Words dismantled in all the books and vowsConversation though we utter not a soundI heard a rumor I don't know if it's trueThat you'd meet me when the flame turns blue…all right now
Play verse chords once through without vocals
So I ventured underneath the leaden (Lenten?) skySee the freight train with its one fierce eyeAnd then I listened as it tears the night in twoWith a whistle when the flame turns blue

Hold OnImportant! capo 5 lowest strings on 4th fret, leaving high e open the picking in this song is ad-lib, so this is just the basic chord structures and hand postions used mess around with it to suit yourself, it sounds better if you brush 2 or 3 strings together sometimes tab is relative to cap (0 on the high e-string means play it open)

The Ep’s 92-94
Birds Without WingsIt's basically C and G with a slight variation on G (G*), and an A thrown in toward the end.(note: G* is just G played with your finger taken off the A string)
The chords are C, G, G*, except for one part shown below, where anA is thrown in when "birds without wings" is repeated
Wishing that something would happen a change in this place 'cause I'm tearing off the fancy wrappingfind an empty package
Take for a while your trumpet from your lip loosen your hold, loosen your grip on your old ways that have fallen out of stepin a changing time hoist a new flag hoist a new flag
Angry sun burn down judging us allguilty of neglect and disrespectand thinking small And death by boredom and death by greed if we can't stop taking more than we need
Across the fractured the landscape I see the same things tired ideas birds without wings
[Change in chords: A, C, G]Birds without wings birds without wings
But these are just thoughts on lackluster times and I've no interest in excuses you can find
Like you've had a hard day now you're too tired to care now you're too tired to care you've had a hard day
Well across the fractured landscape I see the same things
tired ideas, broken values many with the notion that to share is to lose a hollow people bound by a lack of imagination and too much looking back without the courage to give a new thing a chance grounded by this ignorance
[Change in chords: D, Am]When the cat comes we're just [A, C, G]Birds without wings
Birds without wingsBirds without wings

G D C C2 Take me to that burning bush G D Fmaj7 C2 Give me something I can't crush G D A C5 Lead me out into the hush
G D A C5 (Repeated) So far behind So far behind So far behind So far behind
End on Gmaj7 Don't pay no mind to it Oh let it blow Break you up inside If you don't let it go Jeez what are you like honey I don't know Recommended by my bank And everybody in the tank First of all I'd like to thank
This might take a while honey Hey don't blink Missing by a mile now we're Here on the brink Not a day goes by honey I don't think
I could be your volunteer We'll make the whole thing disappear Saddle up we're outta here
You could be my olive branch Lift me up above the stench Walk me through the avalanche
Honey won't you be my flood Nothing ever comes out good Trouble in the neighbourhood Conversations gone askew And how do you make it fell like new Kookaburra kangaroo Will you won't you be my leach Take it all and when I screech Leave it there just outta reach Take me to that burning bush Give me something I can't crush Lead me out into the hush
So far behind So far behind So far behind So far behind

Main: Remainder of the song Paint me a boat, away I'll float Into the stillness of a pure blue sky There's nothing here to hold me now And I got no more tears to cry Grant me a wish, just one more kiss Baby kiss me till the daylight's through These are days that make you blue And there ain't nothing more a fool can do In and out of dreams all day cos tonight I'll dream about Baby let's go walk away this time Sing me the truth sweet bird of youth I got some trouble trying to understand Beneath the veils of mystery are these the movements of an unseen hand Our arms are filled with sunken treasure Our heads are filled with perfect sound Do we truly see it, hey Till we're placing it in the ground Take just what you need from me cos tonight I'll dream about Baby let's go walk away this time Want to take you all away this time Don't matter, lie to me, I'm falling don't need your light on me, no no don't need your light on me??¦ Paint me a boat, away I'll float Into the stillness of a pure blue sky.

Lyrics
Slow voices speaking through a hurricane Said that I wanted but I lied Your looking good Hey man I can't complain Ghost on the road at night
Seen him out walking he's just skin and bone I don't see nothing in her eyes Some call it hell felt like a home from home I'm dreaming different skies
I don't know where I I don't know what I'm supposed to do now Get it on all night I don't know where I I don't know what I
It seems to me boy That you're doing all right I don't know what I I don't know where I Long way to go now Keep it all inside
36 hours but my mind is fresh Live for the moment then I'm gone Suck on that sympathy and feel the rush Go on my blue eyed son
I don't know where I I don't know what I'm supposed to do now Get it on all night I don't know where I I don't know what I It seems to me boy That you're doing all right I don't know what I I don't know where I Long way to go now Keep it all inside

Lyrics:
From the very first moment I saw you That's when I knew All the dreams I held in my heart Had suddenly come true Knock me over stone cold sober Not a thing I could say or do 'Cos baby when I'm walking with you now My eyes are so wide Like you reached right into my head And turned on the light inside Turning on the light Inside my mind hey
Come on baby it's all right Sunday Monday day or night Written blue on white it's plain to see That rainy shiny night or day What's the difference anyway Baby till your heart belongs to me
If I had some influence girl With the powers that be I'd have them fire that arrow at you Like they fired it right at me And maybe when your heart and soul are burning You might see That everytime I'm talking with you It's always over too soon That everyday feels so incomplete Till you walk into the room Say the word now girl I'll jump that moon hey
Come on baby it's ok Rainy shiny night or day There's nothing in the way now Don't you see Winter summer day or night Centigrade or fahrenheit Baby till your heart belongs to me Thursday Friday short or long When you got a love so strong How can it be wrong now mercy me Jumpin' Jesus holy cow ! What's the difference anyhow Baby till your heart belongs to me
