Gbm Bm E
Gbm Bm
As I walk through the streets of my new city
E A
my back feeling much better, I suppose
Abm6 Gbm Bm
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
E A
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
Abm6 Gbm Bm
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
E A Abm6
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Gbm
Suddenly I'm lost
Bm
On my street
On my block
E
Oh why, Oh why
A D
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
E A Abm6
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
Gbm Bm
This time it's for real, I can see
F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m*
All the trees are turning red
F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F#*
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m*
I think they want something
F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F#*
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
A
and be calm.
Be calm.
D A
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Gbm Bm D
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
E
Be calm.
Gbm Bm
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
E A Abm6
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
Gbm Bm
"I always see you looking out your window."
E A Abm6
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Gbm Bm
Now every single crack, every pain that I pass,
E A Abm6
says I should either leave or pick it up
Gbm
But with every single buck I've made
Bm
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
E
the moment I was baptized
F#*
or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
Abm* Bbm* C#* F#* Abm* C#m*
if only I could find my people or my place in life
F#* Abm* Bb* C#m*
then when they come to 'carolin'
F#* Abm* Bbm* C#m*
so loud, so bright, the theremin
F#* Abm* Bbm*
will lead us to a chorus
C#m* E* Abm* Bbm* C#m* F#
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
A
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
D A
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Gbm Bm D
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
E
Be calm.
A Dbm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Gbm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Gbm Bbm* B* Bm
and e-very--thing's wrong
D Bm
It just gets so hard sometimes
E
Be calm.
Gbm E Dbm Bm
I don't remember much that night,
A E A E F#* Ab* B*
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Gbm E Dbm Bm A
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
E A E A
From that street corner came a song
B* C#m* Ebm* E*
And I can't remember the man,
E A Abm6
The panhandler or his melody.
Gbm E Dbm Bm E
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
A
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
D A
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Gbm Bm D
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
E
Be calm.
A Dbm
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
Gbm
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
Gbm Abm A Bm
and e-very--thing's wrong
D Bm
It just gets so hard sometimes
E
Be calm.
Gbm
Be calm.

G C
Last week my baby hit the slopes.
G
I spent the weekend setting traps in the road.
I should have been cutting out my eyelids,
C [riff]
you'll never guess what baby did when she got home.
Oh-oh Na na na na na
G
Now at least the birds are singing to me,
but what they're trying to say,
F
I don't know.
(you're beautiful)
Em
I think they come from the cold
(for all your big mistakes)
F
I think they come from the cold
(you stayed the same)
G
to the city that don't snow.
C
So I drove until we both broke down.
I was stranded in a border town
G
believing the motel TV would bring me to safety,
but between MTV and Mr. O'Reilly
C
I've come to find, that I can't be defined
G
so I turned it off, now convinced I would cross
Took one last look at the gold
C [riff]
as it shattered on a mountaintop
C G
Now I believe the sun, it's like a symphony.
But what it's trying to play,
F
I don't know.
(you're beautiful)
Em
I think they come from the cold
(for all your big mistakes)
F
I think they come from the cold
(you stayed the same)
G
to the city that don't snow.
C F G
C'mon, Holy ghosts
C F G
When do you come out to play?
C F G
'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me,
F G C
He'd better start looking today.
F C
So I can rise with the river
F C
We all float before we sink
F
We pray for satellites,
C
Pray for courtesy
G F
I pray that it can climb mountains to me!
C F
I say goodbye to the canyon.
C F
I will set sail to the streets
C F G
where I don't care to be forgiven
G F
I want to be forgotten.
C F
I don't care to be forgiven
C F
When Lord I only want to be forgotten!
C F
Singing oh oh oh na na na
C F
Oh oh oh
C F
I'm Singing oh oh oh na na
G F
Oh-oh Oh-oh
C F
I'm Singing oh oh oh na na na
C F
Singing oh oh oh
C F
I'm Singing oh oh oh na na
G F
Oh-oh na na na Oh-oh
G
Now I receive a call from my family
and what they started to say
F
brought me home.
(you're beautiful)
Em
They think I'm beautiful
(for all your big mistakes)
F G
They think I'm beautiful
(you're beautiful)
C [riff]
for all my big mistakes.
for all my big mistakes.
for all my big mistakes.

C Dm Am C Dm G C Bm C
Have you ever wondered about our old nu-metal friends and what became of them?
C Dm G
Turns out I saw them a couple of days ago,
Dm Am Dm G
They were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing.
C
C’mon, can you count all the notches in your belt?
Dm G G/A G/B C
I'd rather not, let's just say I'm starving myself.
C
Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper
Dm G G/A G/B C
I don’t want no savior baby, I just wanna have a good time
C Dm G C D* D* F#* A*
Oh-oh oh, Oh-uh oh
C Dm G C
At least I’m not as sad as I used to be
C
And they said,
Bm C Dm
"Hey Nate, yeah it’s been a while,
G
Are you gonna sing?"
C
I began to smile and I said,
C Dm G
"You should’ve seen me a couple of years ago,
Dm Am Dm G
I was laughing and drinking and smoking and singing."
C
C’mon can you count all the loves that didn’t last?
Dm C D* D* F#* A*
It’s such a gas when you bring up the past.
C Dm
Baby, put your name down on a piece of paper.
Dm
I don’t want no savior baby
G G/A G/B C
I just wanna get it out.
C Dm G C D* D* F#* A*
Oh-oh oh, Oh-uh oh

At least I’m not as sad as I used to be

Oh-oh oh, (get it out) Oh-uh oh

At least I’m not as sad as I used to be
C Dm G C
(Just get it out)
C Dm G C
C Dm G C
C Dm G C
C Dm G C
C Dm G C
At least I’m not as sad as I used to be
C Dm
And they say we would’ve seen you two years ago
G A* Bm* C#* C
Had you stuck around or come out to a show,
Am C Dm
But youth’s taken over by rock and roll,
G F Em D
While we were laughing and drinking and smoking and singing....
C Dm G Csus4 C
So I left, That is it. That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.
Am Dm
I don’t keep friends,I keep acquainted,
G
I’m not a prophet, But I’m here to profit.
C Dm G Csus4 C
That’s all, I’m gone! That’s my life, Nothing is sacred.
Am Dm
I don’t fall in love, I just fake it.
G G/A G/B C
I don’t fall in love. I don’t fall in love.

INTRO: C
C D
Never in all of my life
G C
Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city
C
on a Saturday night,
D G Gbm C
all the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."
C D
But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come.
C D
I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.
G C G
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.
C D
We met up once we'd settled the sun
G Gbm
Between the heat and the work week
C
The fear is we could use some sleep
C D
but sleep to a superfluous man means better use for beds
G Gbm C
and I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight.
C D
I don't need to be reminded this is how it was.
C D
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block
C D
that asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much"
C D
when the truth is, I'm just getting started.
G
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
C D* E* F#* E* D*
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
G C
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.
C D
One of us sings, and one of us drinks,
G
and one of us has nothing at all.
C
So he calls us all sheep
D G
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.
(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)
C D
Then he swears he's gotta take this call
G Gbm C
Man, I'm scared he's gonna leave us too soon.
C
We were the get rich quick kids,
D
We never got it right
C D
So we settled for the center in town
C D
Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight
C D
got the blond one staring me down.
C D
and I really wanna take a swing
G Gbm C
I can't help but remember James Dean
C D
See we are part of the few who agree
C
that hey, he lived life fast
D
but he died.
he died.
he died.
G
Me, I'm gonna live forever.
G C G
(And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive)
G
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
C G
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
and for the first time,
C
in a long time,
G
I feel alive.

Ab Ab/G Fm
Slow down,
D# Db D#
we've got time left to be lazy
Ab Ab/G Fm D# Db D#
All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes.
Ab Ab/G Fm D# Db D#
We've got fifty good years left to spend out in the garden
Db Cm
I don't care to beg your pardon,
A#m D#
We should live
Ab Ab/G Fm D# Db D# Ab Ab/G Ab
until we die.
Ab Ab/G Fm Cm Db D#
We were barely eighteen when we'd crossed collective hearts.
Db Cm A#m D#
It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye.
Ab Ab/G Fm
and then you turned, put out your hand,
D# Db D#
and you asked me to dance.
Db Cm A#m D#
I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight.
Db D# Ab Ab/G Fm D#
I swear when I grow up, I won't just buy you a rose.
Db D# Ab Ab/G Fm D#
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely.
Db D#
Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields
Ab Ab/G Fm
I will not leave, I will not leave 'till it's our time.
Db D# Ab Ab/G Fm D# Db D# Ab Ab/G Ab
So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side.
Ab Ab/G Fm D# Db D# Ab Ab/G Ab
Ab Ab/G Fm Cm Db D#
It was the winter of '86, and all the fields had frozen over.
Db Cm A#m D#
So we moved to Arizona to save our only son
Ab Ab/G Fm D#
and now he's turning to a man,
Db D#
although he thinks just like his mother,
Db Cm A#m D#
he believes we're all just lovers he sees hope in everyone.
Ab Ab/G Fm
And even though she moved away,
D# Db D#
we always get calls from our daughter.
Db Cm
She has eyes just like her father's
A#m D#
they are blue when skies are grey
Ab Ab/G Fm D#
And just like him, she never stops,
Db D#
Never takes the day for granted,
Db Cm
works for everything that's handed to her,
A#m D#
Never once complains.
Db D# Ab Ab/G Fm D#
You think that I nearly lost you
Db D# Ab Ab/G Fm D#
When the doctors tried to take you away.
Db D# Ab Ab/G Fm D#
But like the night you took my hand beside the fire
Db D#
thirty years ago
Ab
to this day
Db D#
You swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time
Ab Ab/G Fm
Well it's not time, you've never quit in all your life.
Db D# Ab Ab/G Fm
So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side.
Db D# Ab Ab/G Fm D# Db D# Ab Ab/G Ab
You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side.
Ab Ab/G Fm D# Db D# Ab Ab/G Ab
Ab Ab/G Fm D# Db D# Ab Ab/G Ab
Ab Ab/G Fm D# Db D# Ab Ab/G Ab
Db Cm A#m Cm Db D#
Db Cm A#m D#
Ab Ab/G Fm D#
You come home from work
Db D#
and you kiss me on the eye
Db Cm A#m D#
You curse the dog you say that I should never feed them what is ours
Ab Ab/G Fm D#
and so we move all to the garden
Db D#
look at everything we've owned
Db Cm
now the kids are coming home
A#m Cm Db D#
so I set the table
Ab
You can make the fire.
