i wouldnt lie awake until the morning light

verse :
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
there’s a funeral procession on the highway ,
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
traffic screeches to a halt .
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
there’s people searching for a better way ,
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
to live their lives .
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
johnny lived a good life , you’ll hear them say
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
as tears of sadness soak the ground .
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
the reaper crept in , took his breath away ,
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
in the middle of the night .

[ chorus : ]
Em C
we celebrate the lives of the dead ,
G D/F
it’s like a man’s best party , only happens when he dies .
Em C
we gather ’round to pay our respects ,
G D/F
while their souls are still searching for the light ,
( back to verse chords )
searching for the light .

verse :
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
so please don’t come to me on my dying day ,
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
just let me go in peace .
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
with all the things that i forgot to say ,
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
still racing through my mind .
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
and don’t you bury me six feet under ground ,
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
just burn my body in a box .
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
and let my ashes blow with the wind ,
G Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
out into the night . . . . sky .

sleeping sickness

capo 4

Em
i awoke
C G
only to find my lungs empty
Em
and through the night
C G
so it seems i’m not breathing
Em C G
and now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
Em C G
and i’m breaking down , i think i’m breaking down

Em
and i’m afraid
C G
to sleep because of what haunts me
Em
such as living with the uncertainty
C G
that i’ll never find the words to say
Em C G
which would completely explain
Em C G
just how i’m breaking down

[ chorus ]
D Em C
someone come and , someone come and save my life
D Em C
maybe i’ll sleep when i Am dead
D Em C
but now it’s like the night is taking sides
D Em C
with all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
D Em C
could it be this misery will suffice?

Em
i’ve become
C G
a simple souvenir of someone’s kill
Em
and like the sea
C G
i’m constantly changing from calm to ill
Em C G
madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
Em
oh , how i’m breaking down

[ chorus ]

oooohhh my life
D Em C
someone come and , someone come and save my life ( save my life )
D Em C
someone come and , someone come and save my life ( save my life )
D Em C
someone come and , someone come and save my life
D Em C
could it be this misery will suffice?

against the grain

capo : 4th fret
C/G ( 332010 ) – Am ( x02210 ) – G ( 320003 ) – Fmaj7 ( 133210 )

C/G Am
you need not to climb mountaintops
G Fmaj7 etc .
you need not to cross the sea
you need not to find a cure
for everything that makes you weak
you need not to reach for the stars
when life becomes so dark

C/G Am
and when the wind does blow against the grain
G Fmaj7
you must follow your heart
G C/G etc .
you must follow your heart

and all your friends
have come and gone
and the sun no longer shines
and the happiness for which you long
is washed away like an ocean’s tide
when all the hard times outweigh the good
and all your words are misunderstood
when the day seems lost from the start
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

if you feel you’ve paid the price
and your wounds should cease to heal
and everything you love in life
spins like a winding wheel
if you should wake to find you’re abandoned
and the road you travel leads to a dead end
when death creeps in to play its part
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

Em D C
for what they are
Em D C
for what they are

Em D C
at times so self destructive
Em D C
with no intent or motive
Em D C
but behind this emotion ,
Em D C
there lies a sensible heart
Em D C
a sensible heart

Em D
see i’m no king
C
i wear no crown
Em D
but desperate times
C
seem over now
Em D C
but still i weaken somehow
Em D C
it tears me apart
Em D C
it tears me apart

Em D C
i hope to learn as time goes by
Em D C
that i should trust what’s deep inside
Em D C
burning bright , oh burning bright
Em D C
my sensible heart
Em D C
my sensible heart
Em D C
my sensible heart
Em D C
my sensible heart
