Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Riff

Riff x2

And if the snow

Buries my

My neighborhood

And if my parents are crying

Then I'll dig a tunnel

From my window to yours

Yeah a tunnel

From my window to yours

You climb out the chimney

And meet me in the middle

The middle of the town

And since there's no one else around

We let our hair grow long

And forget all we used to know

Then our skin gets thicker

From living out in the snow

Chorus

You change all the lead

Sleepin' in my head

As the day grows dim

I hear you sing a golden hymn

Riff

Then we tried to name our babies

But we forgot all the names that

The names we used to know

But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms

And our parent's bedrooms

And the bedrooms of our friends

Then we think of our parents,

Well what ever happened to them

Chorus

You change all the lead

Sleepin' in my head to gold

As the day grows dim

I hear you sing a golden hymn

The song I've been trying to sing

Purify the colors, purify my mind

Purify the colors

Purify my mind

And spread the ashes of the colors, over this heart of mine

ooooooooooh, ooooooooooh |

ooooooooooh, ooooooooooh |

4. Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)

Intro

x2

I woke up with the power out, not really somethin' to shout about

Ice has covered up my parent's hands, don't have any dreams don't have any plans

I went out into the night, I went out to find some light

Kids are swingin' from the power lines, nobody's home so nobody minds

I woke up on the darkest night neighbors all were shouting that they found the light

We found the light

Shadows jumpin' all over my walls, some of them big, some of them small

I went out into the night I went out to pick a fight with anyone

Light a candle for the kids, Jesus Christ don't keep it hid

Ice has covered up my parents hands, don't have any dreams don't have any plans

Growin' up in some strange storm, nobody's cold, nobody's warm

I went out into the night, I went out to find some light

Kids are dyin' out in the snow, look at them go,look at them go

x4

And the power's out, in the heart of man

Take it from your heart, put it in your hand

What's the plan, what's the plan

Is it a dream, is it a lie, I think I'll let you decide

Just light a candle for the kids, Jesus Christ don't keep it hid

Cause nothing's hid, from us kids

You ain't foolin' nobody, with the lights out

x4

And the power's out, in the heart of man

Take it from your heart, put it in your hand

And there's something wrong in the heart of man

Take it from your heart and put it in your hand

Hand ha ha hand, where'd you go

x2

5. Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)

I am waitin', 'til I don’t know when

Cause I’m sure, it's gonna happen then

Time keeps creepin', through the neighborhood

Killing old folks, wakin' up babies just like we knew it would

All the neighbors, are startin' up a fire

Burning all the old folks, the witches and the liars

My eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kids

But my heart keeps watchin', through the skin of my eyelids

They say a watched pot, won’t ever boil

[G/f#]

Well I closed my eyes and nothin’ changed

Just some water, getting hotter, in the flames

It's not a lover I want no more

And it’s not heaven, I’m pining for

But there's some spirit I used to know

That's been drowned out, by the radio

They say a watched pot won't ever boil

[G/f#]

You can't raise a baby on motor oil

Just like a seed down in the soil, you gotta give it time

6. Crown Of Love

/: 420100

They say it fades if you let it

love was made to forget it

I carved your name across my eyelids

You pray for rain I pray for blindness

If you still want me, please forgive me

The crown of love has fallen from me

If you still want me, please forgive me

Because the spark is not within me

I snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom

The only thing that you keep changin'

Is your name, my love keeps growin'

Still the same, just like a cancer

And you won’t give me a straight answer

If you still want me, please forgive me

The crown of love has fallen from me

If you still want me please forgive me

Because your hands are not upon me

I shrugged them off before my mom walked in my bedroom

The pains of love, and they keep growin'

In my heart there’s flowers growin'

On the grave of our old love

Since you gave me a straight answer

If you still want me, please forgive me

The crown of love is not upon me

If you still want me, please forgive me

Cause this crown is not within me

It’s not within me, it’s not within me

You gotta be the one, you gotta be the way

Your name is the only word that I can say

You gotta be the one, you gotta be the way

Your name is the only word, the only word that I can say

The only word that I can say

7. Wake Up

Intro

Oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Something filled up

My heart with nothin'

Someone told me not to cry

But now that I'm older

My heart's colder

And I can see that it's a lie

Children, wake up

Hold your mistake up

Before they turn the summer into dust

If the children don't grow up

Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up

We're just a million little gods causing rain storms

Turning every good thing to rust

I guess we'll just have to adjust

With my lightning bolts a glowin'

I can see where I am going to be when

The reaper he reaches and touches my hand

x2

With my lightning bolts a glowin'

I can see where I am going

With my lightning bolts a glowin'

I can see where I am going

Better look out below

8. Haiti

Intro

Haiti, mon pays

Wounded mother I’ll never see

Ma famille set me free

Throw my ashes into the sea

x4

Mes cousins jamais nes

Hantent les nuits de Duvalier

Rien n’arrete nos espirits

Guns can’t kill what soldiers can’t see

In the forest we are hiding

Unmarked graves where flowers grow

Hear the soldiers angry yelling

In the river we will go

Tous les morts-nes forment une armee

Soon we will reclaim the earth

All the tears and all the bodies

Bring about our second birth

Haiti, never free

n’aie pas peur de sonner l’alarme

Tes enfants sont partis

In those days their blood was still warm

9. Rebellion (Lies)

Intro

x4

Sleeping is giving in

No matter what the time is

Sleeping is giving in

So lift those heavy eyelids

People say that you'll die

Faster than without water

But we know it's just a lie

Scare your son, scare your daughter

x2

People say that your dreams

Are the only things that save ya

Come on baby in our dreams

We can live our misbehavior

Chorus

Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

People try and hide the night

Underneath the covers

People try and hide the light

Underneath the covers

Come on hide your lovers, underneath the covers

Come on hide your lovers, underneath the covers

Hidin' from your brothers, underneath the covers

Come on hide your lovers, underneath the covers

x2

People say that you'll die

Faster than without water

But we know it's just a lie

Scare your son, scare your daughter

Scare your son, scare your daughter

Scare your son, scare your daughter

Now here's the sun, it's alright, lies, lies

Now here's the moon, it's alright, lies, lies

Now here's the sun, it's alright, lies, lies

Now here's the moon, it's alright, lies, lies

But every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

But every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

10. In The Backseat

I like the peace, in the backseat

I don’t have to drive, I don’t have to speak

I can watch the country side, and I can fall asleep

My family tree's, loosing all it’s leaves

Crashing towards the driver's seat, the lightning bolt made enough heat

To melt the street beneath your feet

Chorus

Alice died

In the night

I’ve been learning to drive

My whole life

I’ve been learning

I like the peace, in the backseat

I don’t have to drive, I don’t have to speak

I can watch the country side

Chorus

Alice died

In the night

I’ve been learning to drive

My whole life

I’ve been learning Oh ooooooooooh

My Whole life
