Verse 2:

I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
That you believed my lies
Chorus:
Bridge:
A
You pick me up when I fall down

you ring the bell before they count me out

If I was drowning you would part the sea
A E4

Thank you, for loving me,
For being my eyes, oh
When I couldn-t see
For parting my lips, when I couldn-t breathe
Thank you, for loving me

Took a walk down Second Avenue
Am F C G
Sick of dreaming dreams that never come true
Am F C G Am F C G
One way street and I know where its leading to
There's a "For Sale" sign on the front door of the city hall

The same old shit, is going around
F G
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
it's a two-story town
(Repeat one line of the Intro)
There's a girl that I sleep with, got ecstasy eyes,
they promised her roses and American pies
I called her and my demons
I kissed them all goodbye
Woh, oh. Seven days of Monday morning
Woh, oh, oh. In a two story town
Chorus:
Am
One shot to make a move now
F
The ghosts are calling me out

But you're never going to find me in the lost and found
Chorus:
Chorus 2:
It's just the same old sights and the same old sounds
I want to take my horse and ride it off this merry-go-round
I won't give in and I won't back down
I'm going down, down, down, down down
I ain't going down, down, down, down, down
Never going down, down, down, down, down
In a two-story town,
In this two story town.

G
Hey man it-s been a while do you remember me?
Bm7 A
When I hit these streets I was seventeen
G Bm7 A
A little wild a little green, been up and down and in between
G
After all these years an miles of memories,
Bm7 A G
I-m still chasing dreams, but I ain-t looking over my shoulder.
Chorus:
D G
I like the bed I-m sleeping in, just like me it-s broken in
A D
It-s not old, just older
D
Like my favourite pair of torn blue jeans,
G
The skin I-m in is all right with me
A D
It-s not old, just older
It-s good to see your face you ain-t no worse for wear
Breathing that California air
When we took on the world we were young and brave
Got secrets that we-ll take to the grave
Standing here shoulder to shoulder.
Chorus:
I-m not old enough to sing the blues,
But I-ve worn a hole in the souls of these shoes
You can roll the dice until they call your bluff
But you can-t win, until you-re not afraid to you
Solo: D | G | A | D | x2 (keyboard plays)
D*
Well I look in the mirror, I don-t hate what I see
D*
Just a few more lines staring back at me

Now the nights, have gone a little bit colder

Hey man, I got to run but you take care

Album- ?CRUSH¦ 2000
Here’s a kick ass song!!!
Intro- C | F | G | x2
C Em F G
Dressed up, for a big date, like Halloween day but it was 4th July
C Em F
Now a car crash, with a suitcase and a painted face,
G Dm F
She was one of a kind; she wears a plastic crown like Cinderella
Dm G
And roller skates in bed
He rides a greyhound, from his hometown, when he comes around,
Because they don-t let him drive now, mixed up, as a milkshake
But make no mistake; Crash is looking like a star
Chorus:
C Em F G
You and me, we-re invincible, together.
C Em F G
We can be, oh so tragical, whatever
Am E C D
Dressed up just like Ziggy, but he couldn-t play guitar
F G C
Captain Crash, and the beauty Queen from Mars (Repeat one line of intro)
Share a toothpick, trading lipstick
Watch some traffic, for days in the diner
Hold hands, making big plans, playing superman
He was wearing eyeliner
Another local legend with his long time lucky charm.
Chorus:
Am E G F
Drunk on love as you can get, getting high on lust, and cigarettes
Am E F G
Living life, with no regrets, at least they-re going to try to fly
Solo: C | Em | F | G |
Final chorus:
You and me, we-re invincible, together
We can be, oh so tragical, whatever
We-re Sid and Nancy, Fred and Ginger, Clyde and Bonnie
Liz and Richard, Kurt and Courtney, Bacall and Bogie, Joltin- Joe and Ms. Monroe here-s
Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen From Mars
They-re like you and me, Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars

Written By-?
Album- ?CRUSH¦ 2000
Intro- F | Bb | Gm | C |
Bb F
She won-t let me buy her jewellery,

She don-t want things that she can keep
Dm C Eb Bb
She wears wildflowers in her hair, then throws them to the sea
Gm C
She-s the beginning and the end of me
Chorus:
F Bb Gm
She-s, a mystery, my most beautiful regret
C F
I will never understand her, She-s, a mystery
I still don-t know what to call her
She says that words don-t mean a thing
She changes her name everyday
And lies all the time
I feel lucky to call her mine
Chorus:
Gm C
The only promise I can keep, even in my dreams she ruins me
Dm C F Bb
She-s everything in the world that you cannot explain
Gm C
But she throws me a smile it-s like fire in the rain
Chorus:
F Bb Gm
She-s, a mystery, there-s no defence it-s innocence
C F Bb
But she won-t let you see, -cause she-s, a mystery.

The song is carried on power chords; the guitar part is the only thing I-m transcribing.
The guitaring on this song is based upon the effect of a talk-box
Intro- C5 | C5 | ~ | ~ | x2
C5 N.C
This ain-t a song for the broken hearted (repeat intro)
C5 N.C
A silent prayer for faith departed (repeat intro)
C5
I ain-t gonna be just a face in the crowd
F5
You-re gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud
Chorus: -
C5 G#5
It-s my life; it-s now or never
Eb5 Bb5
I ain-t gonna live forever,
C5 G#5 Bb5
I just want to live when I-m alive
C5 G#5
It-s my life; my heart is like an open highway
Eb5 Bb5
Like franky said I did it my way,
C5 G#5 Bb5
I just wanna live when I-m alive
It-s my life. (repeat intro)
This is for ones who stood their ground
Like Tommy and Gina, never backed down
Tomorrow-s getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain-t even lucky got to make your own breaks
Chorus:
Solo: G#5 | Bb5 | C5 | F5 | C5 |
Bridge: -
C5

You pick me up when I fall down

It's just the same old sights and the same old sounds
I want to take my horse and ride it off this merry-go-round
I won't give in and I won't back down

I ain't going down, down, down, down, down
Never going down, down, down, down, down

After all these years an miles of memories,

Breathing that California air
When we took on the world we were young and brave
Got secrets that we-ll take to the grave
Standing here shoulder to shoulder.

Well I look in the mirror, I don-t hate what I see

Dressed up, for a big date, like Halloween day but it was 4th July
C Em F
Now a car crash, with a suitcase and a painted face,
G Dm F
She was one of a kind; she wears a plastic crown like Cinderella
Dm G
And roller skates in bed
He rides a greyhound, from his hometown, when he comes around,
Because they don-t let him drive now, mixed up, as a milkshake
But make no mistake; Crash is looking like a star
Chorus:
C Em F G
You and me, we-re invincible, together.
C Em F G
We can be, oh so tragical, whatever
Am E C D
Dressed up just like Ziggy, but he couldn-t play guitar
F G C
Captain Crash, and the beauty Queen from Mars (Repeat one line of intro)
Share a toothpick, trading lipstick
Watch some traffic, for days in the diner
Hold hands, making big plans, playing superman
He was wearing eyeliner
Another local legend with his long time lucky charm.
Chorus:
Am E G F
Drunk on love as you can get, getting high on lust, and cigarettes
Am E F G
Living life, with no regrets, at least they-re going to try to fly
Solo: C | Em | F | G |
Final chorus:
You and me, we-re invincible, together
We can be, oh so tragical, whatever
We-re Sid and Nancy, Fred and Ginger, Clyde and Bonnie

Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen From Mars
They-re like you and me, Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen from Mars

She won-t let me buy her jewellery,

She-s the beginning and the end of me
Chorus:
F Bb Gm
She-s, a mystery, my most beautiful regret

She says that words don-t mean a thing
She changes her name everyday
And lies all the time
I feel lucky to call her mine
Chorus:
Gm C
The only promise I can keep, even in my dreams she ruins me
Dm C F Bb
She-s everything in the world that you cannot explain
Gm C
But she throws me a smile it-s like fire in the rain
