A/C# E4/B A E4/B

When i see you sky as i kite, as high as i might i can't get that high

A/C# E4/B A E4/B

the how you move, the way you burst the clouds, it makes me want to try

when i see you sticky as lips, as licky as trips

i can't lick that far but when you pout

the way you shout out loud it makes me want to start

and when i see you happy as a girl

that swims in a works of magic show

it makes me bite my fingers through

to think i could've let you go

A/C# G A/C#

And when i see you take the same sweet steps

G A/C# G

you used to take i say i'll keep holding you

A/C# G (Intro)

my arms so tight, i'll never let you slip away

and when i see you kitten as a cat

yeah as smitten as that

i can't get that small

the way you fur

the how you purr

it makes me want to paw you all

and when i see you happy as a girl

that lives in a world of make-believe

it makes me pull my hair all out

to think i could've let you leave

and when i see you

take the same sweet steps

you used to take

i know i'll keep on holding you

in arms so tight

they'll never let you go

Main riff: (with flanger and slow echo)

E-------------------------------|

B-------------------------------| (let ring for another measure)

G-----------2---0h2-------------|

D-------------------------------|

A-------0-----------------------|

E---5---------------------------|

Repeat this constantly (i.e., every other measure)

Synth line adapted for guitar:

One measure each of a swell on the following chords:

Am--221-

G --000-

Dm--323-

Am (same)

then this riff

B----5---5---5---6---------5--|-------3-------5--------3------|

B-------------3------5--------|-------------------------------|

G----5------------------------|--------5----------------------|

At the end of the first verse play the following fill (mixed low)

Dm---312 (four measures)

(strum pattern is easy enough to figure out; precision isn't important here

anyway. Vary it a bit by not sounding all three notes; also, in the fourth

measure play a slide up to the 5th fret of the high E string)

Repeat, but play this for fourth measure:

E (high)------3/5---5-----5-----5

In second verse, play this fill at the line "He waits to hear her..."

(let ring throughout)

E----------0---------------|------------3------------|

B----3--------3------3-----|------3--------3-----3---|

G-2-----2---------2-----2--|--0------0--------0----0-|

Then repeat first measure twice. Repeat.

Play this fill underneath chorus

(you do not play the main riff here)

(Second measure of fill above), then:

Then third verse as before into chorus and end.

Chords:

Am G Dm Am

he waits for her to understand, but she won't understand at all

she waits all night for him to call, but he won't call anymore

he waits to hear her say: forgive

but she just drops her pearl-black eyes

and prays to hear him say 'i love you'

but he tells no more lies

he waits for her to sympathize, but she won't sympathize at all

she waits all night to feel his kiss but always wakes alone

he waits to hear her say: forget

but she just hangs her head in pain

and prays to hear him say 'no more'

i'll never leave again

G Dm Am

how did we get this far apart?

Am G

we used to be so close together

how did we get this far apart?

i thought this love would last forever

he waits for her to understand but she won't understand at all

she waits all night for him to call, but he won't call

he waits to hear her say: forgive

but she just drops her pearl-black eyes

and prays to hear him say 'i love you'

but he tells no more lies

how did we get this far apart?

we used to be so close together

how did we get this far apart?

i thought this love would last forever

From the edge of the deep green sea

-----------------------------------

Intro: E-D-E-D-E-D... Em D* G Am [D* 2 0 0 2 3 0 (Dsus2/F#)]

Em D* G Am

every time we do this, I fall for her

Em D* G Am

wave after wave after wave it's all for her

Em D* G

i know this can't be wrong i say (and i'll lie to keep her happy)

Am Em D*

as long as i know that you know that today i belong

G Am

right here with you, right here with you...

and so we watch the sun come up from the edge of the deep green sea

and she listens like her head's on fire,

like she wants to believe in me

so i try put your hands in the sky

surrender

remember

we'll be here forever and we'll never say goodbye...

i've never been so colourfully-see-through-head before

i've never been so wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more

and all i want is to keep it like this

you and me alone, a secret kiss

and don't go home, don't go away

don't let this end, please stay

not just for today

never never never never never let me go she says

hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days

but suddenly she slows

and looks down at my breaking face

why do you cry? what did i say?

but it's just rain i smile

brushing my tears away...

Bm C

i wish i could just stop

D Em

i know another moment will break my heart

Bm C

too many tears, too many times

D Em

too many years i've cried over you

E D

how much more can we use it up?

E D

drink it dry? take this drug?

E D

looking for something forever gone

E D

but something we will always want?

why why why are you letting me go? she says

i feel you pulling back, i feel you changing shape...

and just as i'm breaking free

she hangs herself in front of me

slips her dress like a flag to the floor

and hands in the sky surrenders it all...

i wish i could just stop

i know another moment will break my heart

too many tears

too many times

too many years i've cried for you

it's always the same

wake up in the rain

head in pain

hung in shame

a different name

same old game

love in vain

and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles

away from home again...

*****************************************************************************

Wendy Time

----------

Dm Em

You look like you could do with a friend she said

F Am

You look like you could use a hand

Someone to make you smile she said

Someone who can understand

Share your trouble, comfort you

Hold you close and I can do all of these

I think you need me here with you

You look like you do with a sister she said

You look like you need a girl to call your own...

Like fabulous! fabulous! Call me fabulous!

And rubbing her hands so slow

You stare at me all strange, she said, are you hungry for more?

I've had enough I said, please leave me alone, please go

G E Dm F

It doesn't touch me at all, it doesn't touch me at all

You know that you could do with a friend she said

You know that you could use a word

Like feel or follow or fuck she said

And laughing away as she turned

You've everything but no-one like the last man on earth

And when I die, I said, I'll leave you it all

Door closes leaves me cold

It doesn't touch me at all, it doesn't touch me at all

*****************************************************************************

Doing the Unstuck

-----------------

F#m E

(I) It's a perfect day for letting go

D E

For setting fire to bridges, boats,

F#m E

And other dreary worlds you know

D A

Let's get happy!

(I) It's a perfect day for making out

To wake up with a smile without a doubt

To burst grin giggle bliss skip jump and sing and shout

Let's get happy!

G F#m

(II) But it's much to late you say for doing this now

Bm D

We should have done it then, well it just goes to show

Bm C#m

How wrong you can be and how you really should know

D (F#m-E-D-E...)

That it's never too late to get up and go

(I) It's a perfect day for kiss and swell

For rip-zipping button-popping kiss and well...

There's loads of other stuff can make you yell

Let's get happy!

(I) It's a perfect day for doing the unstuck

For dancing like you can't hear the beat

And you don't give a further thought

To things like feet. Let's get happy!

(II) But it's much too late you say...

F#m A

(III) Kick out the gloom, kick out the blues

Bm D

Tear out the pages with all the bad news

F#m A

Pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls

Bm D

Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors

(III) Oh just burn down the house! Burn down the street!

Turn everything red and the beat is complete

With the sound of your world going up in fire

It's a perfect day to throw back your head

F#m E D-E...

And kiss it all goodbye

(I) It's a perfect day for getting old

Forgetting all your worries, life,

And everything that makes you cry

Let's get happy!

(I) It's a perfect day for dreams come true

For thinking big

And doing anything you want to do

Let's get happy!

(II) But it's much too late you say...

(III) Kick out the gloom...

F#m

And kiss it all goodbye...

Friday I'm In Love (crd)

------------------------

D G D A

i don't care if monday's blue, tuesday's grey and wednesday too

Bm G D A

thursday i don't care about you, it's friday i'm in love

monday you can fall apart, tuesday wednesday break my heart

thursday doesn't even start, it's friday i'm in love

saturday wait, and sunday always comes too late

but friday never hesitate...

i don't care if monday's black, tuesday wednesday heart attack

thursday never looking back, it's friday i'm in love

monday you can hold your head, tuesday wednesday stay in bed

or thursday watch the walls instead, it's friday i'm in love

saturday wait, and sunday always comes too late

but friday never hesitate...

dressed up to the eyes, it's a wonderful surprise

to see your shoes and your spirits rise

throwing out your frown and just smiling at the sound

and as sleek as a shriek spinning round and round

always take a big bite, it's such a gorgeous sight

to see you in the middle of the night

you can never get enough, enough of this stuff

it's friday i'm in love

*****************************************************************************

Trust

Remember to use the capo on 2nd fret:

Bm D G D

There's no-one left in the world that I can hold onto

There is really no-one left at all, there is only you

And if you leave me now, you leave all that we were undone

There is really no-one left, you are the only one

F#m G D Bm

And still the hardest part for you to put your trust in me

F#m G D A

I love you more than I can say. Why won't you just believe?

A E

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say

F#m

I just can't stay here every yesterday

D

Like keep on acting out the same the way we act out

A E

Every way to smile, forget, and make-believe we never needed

F#m D

Any more than this, any more than this

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do

I know I'll never really get inside of you

To make your eyes catch fire the way they should

The way the blue could pull me in

If they only would, if they only would

At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else

That hides away

From me and you there're worlds to part

With aching looks and breaking hearts

And all the prayers your hands can make

Oh I just take as much as you can throw

And then throw it all away

Oh I throw it all away

Like throwing faces at the sky

E

Like throwing arms round yesterday I stood and stared

F#m

Wide-eyed in front of you

E

And the face I saw looked back

F#m

The way I wanted to

E F#m

But I just can't hold my tears away the way you do

G F#m

Elise believe I never wanted this

I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises

I thought you were the girl always dreamed about

But I let the dream go, and the promises broke

And the make-believe ran out...

Oh elise it doesn't matter what you say

I just can't stay here every yesterday

Like keep on acting out the same

The way we act out

Every way to smile, forget,

And make-believe we never needed

Any more than this

Any more than this

And every time I try to pick it up

Like falling sand

As fast as I pick it up

It runs away through my clutching hands

But there's nothing else I can really do

There's nothing else

I can really do at all...

Em D Am B

If only you'd never speak to me the way that you do

Em D Am B

If only you'd never speak like that it's like listening to

Em D Am B

A breaking heart, a falling sky, fire go out and friendship die

Em D Am B

I wish you felt the way that I still do

If only you'd never look at me the way that you do

If only you'd never look like that when I look at you

I see face like stone, eyes of ice, mouth so sweetly telling lies

I wish you felt the way that I still do, the way that I still do

C D Em B

But you don't, you don't feel anymore

C D B

You don't care anymore, it's all gone

If only you'd never pull from me the way that you do

If only you'd never pull like that when I'm with you

I feel hopeless hands helplessly pulling you back close to me

I wish you felt the way that I still do, the way that I still do

If only you'd ever speak to me the way you once did

Look at me the way you once did, pull to me the way you once did

But you don't, you don't feel anymore

You don't care anymore, it's all gone, it's all gone

i think i've reached that point

where giving up and going on

are both the same dead end to me

are both the same old song

i think i've reached that point

where every wish has come true

and tired disguised oblivion

is everything i do

please stop loving me

please stop loving me

i am none of these things

i think i've reached that point

where all the things you have to say

and hopes for something more from me

are just games to pass the time away

please stop loving me

please stop loving me

i am none of these things

i think i've reached that point

where every word that you write

of every blood dark sea

and every soul black night

and every dream you dream me in

and every perfect free from sin

and burning eyes

and hearts on fire

are just the same old song

please stop loving me

please stop loving me

i am none of these things

i am none of these things
