Fun - Be Calm

[ when appears the ” * ”
it means that only the note should
be played than the chord ]

intro :
G#m C#m G#m
G#m C#m F#
Bm A#m6
G#m C#m F#

G#m C#m
as i walk through the streets of my new city
F# B
my back feeling much better , i suppose
A#m6 G#m C#m
i’ve reclaimed the use of my imagination
F# B
for better or for worse , i’ve yet to know
A#m6 G#m C#m
but i always knew you’d be the one to understand me ,
F# B A#m6
i guess that’s why it took so long to get things right .
G#m
suddenly i’m lost
C#m
on my street

on my block
F#
oh why , oh why
B E
oh why haven’t you been there for me?
F# B A#m6
can’t you see , i’m losing my mind this time?
G#m C#m
this time it’s for real , i can see

F# * G#m * A#m * C#m *
all the trees are turning red
F# * G#m * A#m * C#m * F# *
the beggars near bodegas grin at me
F# * G#m * A#m * C#m *
i think they want something
F# * G#m * A#m * C#m * F# *
i close my eyes , i tell myself to breathe

B
and be calm .

be calm .
E B
i know you feel like you are breaking down .
G#m C#m E
well i know that it gets so hard sometimes .
F#
be calm .

G#m C#m
i’m scared that everyone is out to get me .
F# B A#m6
“these days before you speak to me you pause . ”
G#m C#m
“i always see you looking out your window . ”
F# B A#m6
“after all , you lost your band , you left your mom . ”
G#m C#m
now every single crack , every pain that i pass ,
F# B A#m6
says i should either leave or pick it up
G#m
but with every single buck i’ve made
C#m
i’m saddled with bad luck that came
F#
the moment i was baptized
F# *
or when i found out one day i’m gonna die
G#m * A#m * C# * F# * G#m * C#m *
if only i could find my people or my place in life
F# * G#m * A# * C#m *
then when they come to ’carolin’
F# * G#m * A#m * C#m *
so loud , so bright , the theremin
F# * G#m * A#m *
will lead us to a chorus
C#m * F# * G#m * A#m * C#m * F#
where we’ll all rejoice and sing a song that goes :

B
oh be calm .

be calm .
E B
i know you feel like you are breaking down .
G#m C#m E
i know that it gets so hard sometimes ,
F#
be calm .
B D#m
take it from me , i’ve been there a thousand times .
G#m
you hate your pulse because it thinks you’re still alive
G#m A#m * B * C#m
and E – very – – thing’s wrong
E C#m
it just gets so hard sometimes
F#
be calm .

G#m F# D#m C#m
i don’t remember much that night ,
B F# B F#
just walking , thinking fondly of you
G#m F# D#m C#m B
thinking how the worst is yet to come
F# B F# B
from that street corner came a song
B * C#m * D#m * E *
and i can’t remember the man ,
F# B A#m
the panhandler or his melody .
G#m F# D#m C#m F#
the words exchanged had far exceeded any change i’d given thee .

B
oh be calm .

be calm .
E B
i know you feel like you are breaking down .
G#m C#m E
i know that it gets so hard sometimes ,
F#
be calm .
B D#m
take it from me , i’ve been there a thousand times .
G#m
you hate your pulse because it thinks you’re still alive
G#m A#m B C#m
and E – very – – thing’s wrong
E C#m
it just gets so hard sometimes
F#
be calm .
G#m
be calm .
