C
I had a plan
Am Em F
That was built on thinking to long
C
Canadian winters
Am Em
At home with your sisters
F C
the romance was hard to ignore
F
You were beautiful
C Am Em F
I was happy to fall
C Am Em F
So happy to fall
C
I remember you searching
Am Em
I thought you were searching
F C
that´s how I picked up the phone
F Em
Happy to hear you remembered the view
Am F
So glad to assume it was fate
C
I thought at the time it was clear
F C Em F
I thought at the time it was clear
C Em F
C Em F
C Em F F
C
So I stood at the station
Am Em F
With a plan and a pocket of poems
C
Heroically tragic
Am Em F
Bearded and blind with obsession
C
I´m a car without hope
Am Em F
Too close to the ditch to go far
C
I showed you my field
Am Em
I said this is my field
F
But you weren´t impressed
C Em F
C Em F
You said why are we here
C Em F
Your motives are clear
C
In this room with a view
Em F
and so much of you
C F
is so far from here
C F
it’s so far from here
C F
it’s so far from here
it’s so far from here
Instrumental interlude:
C Am Em F X8
C Am Em F F
C Am Em F
C Am
Oh my heart
Em F
It just fell apart
C
And i wished I could show you
Am Em
The same view
F C
of you by the window and me
Em F
feeling fine
C Em F
And me just feeling fine
C Em F
Yeah me just feeling fine

My life in art +-
[G]I watch her dance and I watch her flow
for a [D]dollar [G]
She [D]dreams of Vegas and the desert strips
[G]Where she can dance and she can make a lot of [D]money [G]
She [D]left her home in a pickup truck
[G]Left her husband when he beat her up
And now she[D] works all night [G]
But the [D]Kansas wind won´t freeze her heart
No the [G]train just rolls right off her back
She´s gonna [D]be alright [G]
[Bm]Just tell me about the boule[G]vards
[Bm]Tell me about your life in [D]art
[Bm]Yeah tell my about the boule[D]vards

You[D] look so young and you talk so old
[G]Lighten up babe i might just take you
home if you´re [D] lucky [G]
and those [D]bums on the corner will take your time
Sell you [G]their stories for a nickel

[G]Throws her arms around my neck
She says I´ll [D]kill you
[G]I´ll kill you just for [D]trying [G]
Cos you don´t even have the [Bm]money

[Bm]Tell me all about your [G]pretty boy fa[D]ce [G][D] etc
{Note: Just before the change from D to G you could play a
Dsus (just lift your finger from the lowest string) and the
song will sound great. }

Were you [Em]bored of the [F]pain
Is the [Em]bond now [F]broken
Does nothing [G]remain

Until there was [G]nothin yeah
Nothing but dust
[Am]And still you talk [C]soft
[F]So desperate and [C]kind
[F]So pure and so [C]pointless
[Am]So helpless and [C]blind
[F]And is there no [C]anger
[F]Just pills for the [C]pain
[Am]My friend you´ve been [C]wasted
[F]And you will be [C]again
[Em]And you wait for a [F]whirlwind
[Em]To unwind your [F]soul
And you [Em]cry like a [F]baby

[Em]She broke you so [F]softly
[Em]You can´t see the [F]blame

The album version follows a simple picking pattern, which should be easy enough for you to figure out. Most live versions that I have heard just strum the chords.
Note: When you play a G, hammer on the B string before going to F.
I also tend to hammer off the D string before changing from F to C
[C]I´ll send you a [G]letter
From the [F]frontline
[C]Please send app[G]lause
And some [F]good advice
[C]You were born with a [G]compass
A map on your [F]table
[C]Tell me how did you [G]find out
Your bearings were [F]wrong
Just [C]pray [G]for [F]us
pray for [C]sunshine [G]
These [C]days [G]are [F]cold
and I´m missing [C]you [G]
The [F]city is no place to [Em]lose
Ah, But [F]I never thought
I could [Em]choose
It was [F]plain from the start,
plain from the start,
I was [G]playing for time
I need [C]laughter and love
[G]some special drug
I need [F]ciggarettes
There´s [C]killers behind us
[G]Devils ahead
Send pro[F]tection
I will [C]drown in this city
I will [G]drown in this trench
Built [F]for us
And the [C]only thing left
Yeah the [G]only thing left
Is the [F]running
And these [C]clouds keep on rolling
and [G]I , I don´t know [F]why
Take this [C]guitar out of my [G]hands
I sur[F]render
This [C]town don´t need drunkards
Or [G]singers of bad poe[F]try
Thay need [C]dancing and drugs and [G]laughter
and we don´t have [F]them
Just [C]pray [G]for [F]us
pray for [C]sunshine [G]
These [C]days [G]are [F]cold
and I´m missing [C]you [G]
This [F]letter was meant for your [Em]eyes
Des[F]troy it and then
Just go [Em]hide
You´re the [F]only thing left
That makes any sense
Please don´t [G]blow it

Bringin´ me home +-
Where noone hears [G]me
Been pulled off [F]course again
Down by the [Am]water so I can feel [G]free
Feel so a[F]live now I´m here in my [Am]safety net
Y´know it´s like she [G]calls me [F]
Playin´ with my [G]life a[F]gain
Just playin´ with my [G]time a[F]gain
[G]I´ve taken [F]time with you & I´ve crossed [Am]lines for you
Won´t take this any[G]more
You gace my [F]strength away
now you want [Am]me to try
& Stay here just for [G]you
But I feel so a[F]live when I´m down
By the[Am] water Y´know it´s like she [G]needs me [F]
Messin´ with my [G]mind a[F]gain
Just messin´ with my [G]mind a[F]gain
[G]Another [F]lazy day back in my [Am]usual place
Where no-one knows [G]me
Been pulled off [F]course again
I´ll stick with [Am]water where I can feel [G]free
She gives me [F]strength & She gives me [Am]space
Y´know it´s like she [G] loves me [F]
She´s lovin´ me a[G] gain [F]

Always Right +-
[Em]Being where you are,
You don’t [F]want to understand, any[C]way.
Cause everybody tells ya,
[Em]When you’re right or wrong,
And they just[F] want to have the right to dis[C]agree.
[Am]Cause sometimes you [Em]feel so fine, yeah
And [F]sometimes you [C]fall,
[Am]Tomorrow’s always [Em]find you,
[F]Digging for the [C]bones,
I [Am]thought you had the [Em]answer,
For[F] always being [C]right.
You [Am]always see it [Em]coming,
But you [F]never ever [C]fight,
You [F]don’t know how to fight.
There’s a [C]cold wind blowing,
[Em]On a silvery morning,
And the [F]air feels fine upon your[C] face.
And you walk cause your lonely,
And you [Em]wish you had a job,
Someone [F]else who understood the [C]little things.
[Am]Cause sometimes you [Em]feel so fine, yeah
And [F]sometimes you [C]fall,
To[Am]morrow’s always [Em]finds you,
[F]Staring at the [C]wall.
I [Am]thought you had the [Em]answer,
For [F]always being [C]right.
You [Am]always see it [Em]coming,
But you [F]never ever [C]fight,
No, you [F]don’t know how to fight.
And you [C]turn on the T.V.
And you [Em]reach for the phone,
Because [F]someone read the news to you all [C]wrong.
And you say that you’ve discovered,
A [Em]world that won’t recover,
And [F]sometimes it’s so hard to dis[C]agree.
To[Am]morrow’s always [Em]finds you,
[F]Staring at the [C]wall.
You[Am] thought you had the [Em]answer,
For [F]always being [C]right.
You [Am]always see it [Em]coming,
But you [F]don’t know how to [C]fight,
No, you [F]don’t know how to fight.
