Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

No words, My tears won't make any room for more,

And it don't hurt, like anything I've ever felt before, this is

No broken heart, No familiar scars,

This territory goes uncharted...

Just me, in a room sunk down in a house in a town, and I

Don't breathe, no I never meant to let it get away from me

Now, I've too much to hold, everybody has to get their hands on gold,

And I want uncharted.

Stuck under the ceiling I made, I can't help but feeling...

I'm going down,

Follow if you want to, I won't just hang around,

Like you'll show me where to go,

I'm already out, foolproof idea, so don't ask me how

To get started, it's all uncharted...

Each day, countin' up the minutes, till I get alone, 'cause I

Can't stay In the middle of it all, it's nobody's fault, but I'm

So lonely, Never knew how much I didn't know,

Oh, everything is uncharted.

I know I'm getting nowhere, when I only sit and stare like..

I'm going down,

Follow if you want to, I won't just hang around,

Like you'll show me where to go,

I'm already out, foolproof idea, so don't ask me how

To get started, it's all uncharted...

Jump start my kaleidoscope heart,

Love to watch the colors fade,

They may not make sense,

But they sure as hell made me.

I won't go as a passenger, no

Waiting for the road to be laid

Though I may be going down,

I'm taking flame over burning out

Compare, where you are to where you want to be, and you'll get no where

I'm going down,

Follow if you want to, I won't just hang around,

Like you'll show me where to go,

I'm already out, of foolproof ideas, so don't ask me how

To get started, ohhh...

I'm going down,

Follow if you want to, I won't just hang around,

Like you'll show me where to go,

I'm already out, foolproof ideas, so don't ask me how

To get started, it's all uncharted...

Gonna Get Over You

Goodbye, Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?

Layin' down the law that I live by,

Though maybe next time

I've got a thick tongue,

Brimming with the words that go unsung

Simmer then the burn for a someone,

A wrong one

And I tell myself to let the story end,

My heart will rest in someone else's hand

My 'why not me?' philosophy began,

And I say

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?

I'll be alright, just not tonight

Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay

I'll be alright, just not tonight,

Someday

Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me

Keep me when I'm hurting and make me,

Hang from your hands

Well, no more, I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door

If I make it at the thought of you, what for?

It's not me anymore

And I'm not the girl that I intend to be,

I dare you darling, just you wait and see

But this time not for you but just for me,

And I say

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?

I'll be alright, just not tonight

Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay

I'll be alright, just not tonight,

Someday

say it's coming soon,

Someday without you,

All I can do is get me past the ghost of you,

Wave goodbye to me,

won't say I'm sorry,

I'll be alright

once I find the other side of

someday

oohoohooohoohooh. . .

Chorus

Verse

I never meant to be the one to let you down

If anything, I thought I saw myself going first

I didn't know how to stick around

How to see anybody but me be getting hurt

I keep remembering the summer night

And the conversation breaking up the mood

I didn't want to tell you you were right

Like the season changing, oh, I felt it too

Chorus

Does anybody know how to hold my heart

How to hold my heart?

'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon

I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark

How to hold my heart

'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you

.....Hey

.....

Verse

I'm not the kind to try to tell you lies

But the truth is you've been hiding from it too

I see the end sneaking in behind your eyes

Saying things no words could ever do

Chorus

Does anybody know how to hold my heart

How to hold my heart?

'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon

I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark

How to hold my heart

'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you

Bridge

Is anybody listening?... Cause I'm

Crying... Is anybody listening?

Chorus

Does anybody know how to hold my heart

How to hold my heart?

'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon

I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark

How to hold my heart

'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go of you

Does anybody know how to hold my heart

How to hold my heart?

'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go too soon

I want to tell you so before the sun goes dark

How to hold my heart

'Cause I don't want to let go, let go, let go

I don't want to let go, let go, of you

I don't want to let go

Pre-chorus

I hate to break it to you babe

But I'm not drowning

There's no one here to save

Chorus

Who cares if you disagree

You are not me

Who made you king of anything

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything

Interlude

Verse 2

You sound so innocent

All full of good intent

Swear you know best

But you expect me to

Jump up on board with you

And ride off into your de-lusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost

With no direction, oh

But you'll never see

You're so busy making maps

With my name on them in all caps

You got the talking down, Just not the listening

Chorus

Who cares if you disagree

You are not me

Who made you king of anything

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything

Bridge

All my life I've tried

To make everybody happy while I

Just hurt and hide

Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide

Interlude

Chorus

Who cares if you disagree

You are not me

Who made you king of anything

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything

Who cares if you disagree

You are not me

Who made you king of anything

So you dare tell me who to be

Who died and made you king of anything

Say You’re Sorry

Circus of silence down at our feet

Paper cut tigers starting to bleed

Hang from your tightrope above the mess

Just say you're sorry, no more no less

Words you won't use, you don't feel them like I do

Show will be over soon

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day

I want to walk away too

But I want you to say you are sorry

I'm not the one who went and made a mistake

I want to walk away too

But I want you to say you are sorry

I used to believe that the storybook's true

Now I don't need it, at least not with you

So if you see him, the man 'neath the mask

Tell him I'm leaving and not looking back

Words are no use, you don't need them like I do

Show will be over soon

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day

I want to walk away too

But I want you to say you are sorry

I'm not the one who went and made a mistake

I want to walk away too

But I want you to say you are sorry

I want the one word that you refuse to say to me

You're so good at giving me responsibility

I wash my hands clean and let you watch me as I go

I'm sorry for you, just so you know

It's not the curtain closing causing us to call it a day

I want to walk away too

But I want you to say you are sorry

I'm not the one who went and made a mistake

I want to walk away too

But I want you to say you are sorry

The Light

/: x6554x

For the D7/F# I just use thumb for the F#, it's easiest that way

And for the D/F# in the chorus I just play it: 2002xx

In the morning it comes, heaven sent a hurricane

Not a trace of the sun but I don't even run from rain\

Beating out of my chest, my heart is holding on to you

From the moment I knew

From the moment I knew

You're the air in my breath filling up my love soaked lungs

Such a beautiful mess intertwined and overrun

Nothing better than this, ooh, and then the storm can come

You feel just like the sun

Just like the sun

And if you say we'll be alright

I'm gonna trust you babe

I'm gonna look in your eyes

And if you say we'll be alright

I'll follow you into the light

Nevermind what I knew, nothing seems to matter now

Ooh, who I was without you, I can do without

No one knows where it ends, how it may come tumbling down

But I'm here with you now

I'm with you now

And if you say we'll be alright

I'm gonna trust you, babe

I'm gonna look in your eyes

And if you say we'll be alright

I'll follow you into the light

Let the world come rush in, come down hard, come crushing

All I need is right here beside me

I'm not enough I swear it, but take my love and wear it over your shoulders

And if you say we'll be alright

I'm gonna trust you babe

I'm gonna look in your eyes

And if you say we'll be alright I'll follow you into the light

Basket Case

D: 000000 ()

/: 11x01000

Verse 1

I don't want to talk about it to you

I'm not an open book that you can rifle through

The cold hard truth that you'll see right to

I'm just basket case without you

Verse 2

He's not a magic man or a perfect fit

He had a steady hand, and I got used to it

And a glass cage heart, and invited me in

And now I'm just a basket case without him

Chorus

You're begging for the truth

So I'm saying it to you

I've been saving your place

What good does it do?

Now I'm just a basket case

Now I'm just a basket case

Verse 3

I don't say much, and it'll stay that way

You got a steel train touch, and I'm just a track you lay

Aadd4 -7 Gadd2

So I'll stay right here underneath you

I'm just a basket case; it’s what we do

You're begging for the truth

So I'm saying it to you

I've been saving your place

What good does it do?

Now I'm just a basket case

Now I'm just a basket case

Bridge

Won't somebody come on in and tug at my seams?

Oh, send your armies in of robbers and thieves

To steal the state I'm in, I don't want it anymore

Gadd2-[slide]-Aadd4-[slide]-Bm7-[slide]-Am/C#

You're begging for the truth

So I'm saying it to you

I've been saving your place

What good does it do?

Now I'm just a basket case

Now I'm just a basket case

Now I’m just a basket case

Now I’m just a basket case

Intro

I wish I were pretty

I wish I were brave

If I owned this city

Then I'd make it behave

And if I were fearless

Then I'd speak my truth

And the world would hear this

That's what I wish I'd do, yeah

If my hands could hold them you'd see

I'd take all these secrets in me

And I'd move and mold them to be

Something I'd set free

I want to darken in the skies

Open the floodgates up

I want to change my mind

I want to be enough

I want the water in my eyes

I want to cry until the end of time

I want to let the rain come down

Make a brand new ground

Let the rain come down

Let the rain come down

Make a brand new ground

Let the rain come down tonight

I hold on to worry so tight

It's safe in here right next to my heart

Who now shouts at the top of her voice

Let me go, let me out, this is not my choice

And I always felt it before

That the world was filled with much more

Than the drowning soul I've learned to be

I just need the rain to remind me

I want to darken in the skies

Open the floodgates up

I want to change my mind

I want to be enough

I want the water in my eyes

I want to cry until the end of time

I want to let the rain come down

Make a brand new ground

Let the rain come down

Let the rain come down

Make a brand new ground

Let the rain come down tonight

I want to let the rain come down

Make a brand new ground

Let the rain come down

Let the rain come down

Make a brand new ground

Let the rain come down tonight

I want to let the rain come down

Make a brand new ground

Let the rain come down

Let the rain come down

Make a brand new ground

Let the rain come down tonight

Stand in line wasting

All of your time just to hate me

Every dime gone to ways

You can find that might bait me

And drag me down sight set proudly

Bring me to the ground see

You love to be somebody's enemy

Maybe nobody loved you

Maybe boy when you

Will you try it once?

Give up the machine gun

Verse 2

Locked and loaded

You're practically

floating away now

In your fortress you feel like

You're more or less safe now

But let me say I don't mean harm

Oh but ba--by you'd be charming

Get back where you started from

Not Alone

/, /, .)

It comes calling in the evening

When the temperature is dropping out

/

They said it don't get cold here

But I beg to differ now

There is something in the shadows

More than sister silhouette

Something sinister and strange

That I haven't seen yet

Chorus

And I don't want to be alone

Sky, don't let the sun go

I'm not ready for the darkness

Swear upon a heartless soul

And I don't want to cry when you go

Stay a little longer, you know

You're making me feeel

I'm not alone

You don't have to fight the bad guys

Throwing punches out into the black

If you have to tell me lies, I don't care

Just give me some good back

Chorus

And I don't want to be alone

Sky, don't let the sun go

I'm not ready for the darkness

Swear upon a heartless soul

And I don't want to cry when you go

Stay a little longer, you know

You're making me feeel

I'm not alone

Bridge

And if I only worry 'bout it

Worry 'bout it, worry 'bout it

I just keep breaking down

Breaking down, breaking down

Boy, I could do without

Do without, do without

A night of the bad dreams, sad things

Tell me what that means

Chorus

And I don't want to be alone

Sky, don't let the sun go

I'm not ready for the darkness

Swear upon a heartless soul

And I don't want to cry when you go

Stay a little longer, you know

You're making me feeel

I'm not alone

Chorus

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe

Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something

Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again

I'll breathe again

Open up next to you and my secrets become your truth

And the distance between that was sheltering me comes in full view

Hang my head, break my heart built from all I have torn apart

And my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore

Chorus

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe

Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something

Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again

It hurts to be here

I only wanted love from you

It hurts to be here

What am I gonna do?

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe

Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe

Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something

Out of breath, I am left hoping someday

I'll breathe again

I'll breathe again

I'll breathe again

I'll breathe again

I'll breathe again

I'll breathe again

Bluebird

Word came through in a letter

One of us changing our minds

7/ / /

You won't need to guess who, since I usually do not send

Letters to me that are mine

Told him I saw this coming

That I'd practically packed up my things

I was glad at the time that I'd said I was fine but

All honesty knows- I wasn't ready, no

And so here we go bluebird

Back to the sky on your own

Oh, let him go bluebird

Ready to fly

You and I, here we go

Here we go

This pair of wings worn and rusted

From too many years by my side

They can carry me swear to be

Sturdy and strong but see

Turning them on still means goodbye

And so here we go bluebird

Gather your strength and rise up

Oh, let him go bluebird

Oh, let him go bluebird

Oh, let him go bluebird

Ready to fly, you and I

Here we go

Here we go

Here we go
