It's A Bitch To Grow Up 
Tom: G
Intro:       G      Cadd9    x 4
           G  Cadd9           G    Cadd9
 It's been 10 years of investment
            G      Cadd9        G    Cadd9
 It's been one foot in and one out
           G Cadd9             G     Cadd9
 It's been 4 days of full of shit
         G         Cadd9      G      Cadd9
 And I feel snuffed out
            G  Cadd9           G    Cadd9
 It's been 33 years of restraining
       G         Cadd9        G     Cadd9
 Of trying to control this tumult
     G      Cadd9          G      Cadd9
 How I did invest in such fantasy
            G     Cadd9          G      Cadd9
 But my nervous system has worn out
      Em     D       Bm          C
 I feel done, I feel raked over coals
     Em           D           C
 And all that remains is the case
 That it's a bitch to grow up
 G     Cadd9    x 4
         G          Cadd9         G     Cadd9
 I've repeated this dance ad-nauseum
                G           Cadd9            G      Cadd9
 There's still something to learn that I've not
              G         Cadd9          G      Cadd9
 I'm told to see this as divine perfection
          G        Cadd9             G
 But my bones don't feel this perfection
      Em     D       Bm          C
 I feel done, I feel raked over coals
     Em           D           C
 And all that remains is the case
 That it's a bitch to grow up
 G     Cadd9    x 4
             G      Cadd9        G       Cadd9
 I've spent life hovering above bottom
          G          Cadd9          G     Cadd9
 Thinking I can't survive what's below
            G              Cadd9              G     Cadd9
 But I've known through the kicking and screaming
                 G       Cadd9         G      Cadd9
 That there was no other direction to go
      Em     D       Bm          C
 I feel done, I feel raked over coals
     Em           D           C
 And all that remains is the case
 That it's a bitch to grow up
 G     Cadd9    x 26
Break 
Tom: F#m
Intro: F#m--Bm--E--C#m
      F#m Bm
Indeed I 
      E        C#m    F#m   Bm
have sucked it up to heights
    E     C#m       F#m   Bm
Unknown to those outside
    E  C#m     F#m        Bm
My body has contained and suppressed
      E             C#m     F#m Bm 
And swallowed and abetted, oh I
               E  C#m   F#m   Bm
Oh I am a stranger to myself
          E    C#m   F#m Bm
Beneath altruism dwells
   E         C#m      F#m              Bm
A force uncontended a voice that is tempered
E                  C#m
Too boiled and unhindered
           F#m Bm
Who am I kidding?
       E       C#m        F#m Bm
I am not some Mother Theresa
      E         C#m      F#m  Bm
If I don't say something soon
       E              C#m          F#m     Bm
I will break from the weight of the high load I take
E C#m
Nooooo
Indeed I need my chance to fail
Some room to unravel
I need a chance to blame for two minutes
Unbridled, unbrazened
So I need imaginings of maiming
Fantasies of outright screaming
I need a chance to thrash for minutes
Uncontained, unforgiving
(Chorus)
D            C#m                      D
I will move beyond, I'm certain of that
The sooner I go the quicker I'll be back
I would not threaten or cause you any harm
Have to get this out or my light will go out
(Chorus)
Celebrity 
Tom: Dm
Intro: Dm   Gm  Dm    A
                Dm          Gm          Dm    A
I have tasted stardom still before I breathed 
My well-known hungry daddy modeled it for me 
And I have never left this ambitious city 
And I've only known a lust for VIP 
I have studied long and hard had to proceed 
Nothing but my name in bright lights called to me 
And I display the perfect amount of ennui 
I'll carve my face up if you'll indulge me 
Dm          Bb        Dm            A7
Give me celebrity my kingdom to be famous 
Tell me who I have to be starving to be famous 
                 Dm          Gm          Dm    A
Never wonder who's pulling strings above me 
Cause I'm aware of wheels, heels, and vintage Gucci 
I'm on my twentieth round of vitamin v 
And I'll cut my weight in two if you'll have me
(Chorus)
Bb     Am          Bb    C    Am   Bb    Am        Bb    C  Am  Dm
Let me into this exclusive club, ignore my not so hidden agenda
           Dm          Gm      Dm       A
I am a tatooed sexy damcing monkey
just aloof enough to get you to want me
hoping my persona ingratiates me
give my life for an opportunity
(Chorus)

 

Pollyanna Flower 
Tom: G
G          F#                      G          
Between a broken nose and a fake smile 
Between piety and gunpowder 
Between fighting and fleeing the scene 
Between murder and diplomacy 
G          F#              G
Between aggression and oblivion 
Between brutal and realistically well behaved 
Between screaming and pulling in the reins 
Esus4                     E
Between tiptoeing and ambleing 
Bm         F#                    Bm F#
What am I to do with all this fire 
(I'd like to hit you but I'd never hit you) 
Bm                  F#                Bm   F#
Would you stay with me in this red space
(I'd like to slap you but I'd never slap you) 
Chorus 
E
Between violence and silently seething 
E
Between my fist and my pollyanna flower 
E
Between "fuck you" to your face and it's alright 
E
Between war and denial 
[chorus] 
Between flying vases and secretly weeping 
Between loose cannons and ever downplaying 
Between bruises and rudely differing 
Between bursting and boiling 
What am I to do with all this burning 
(I'd like to hurt you but I'd never hurt you) 
Do I overwhelm you in this place 
(I'd like to kill you but I'd never kill you) 
[chorus] 
What am I to do with all this fire 
Can you understand me in this place? 

 

Spiral 
Tom: E
E           Abm         A
I could be daydreaming but for a moment
and somehow they're creeping back in
I could be sleeping and wake in a torrent 
somehow I get cought in their grips again
            A  B      C#m    B
and here I am in my shame spiral
I'm sucked into it again
and I reach out for your benevolent opinion
           A          B      C#m    B   E
and you bring the light back in.... ooooh
E                B                    A
don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they
do the best to bring me down, bring me down
when I'm alone with all these negative voices I will
need your help to turn them down, turn them round
E           Abm         A
I could be listening to a conversation
a story I'm not even in
these voices have their way when I am unguarded
suddenly I step in quicksand again
         A  B      C#m    B
Once again in my shame spiral
       A         B      C#m    B   E
I am glad that you weigh in... ooooh
E                B                    A
don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they
do the best to bring me down, bring me down
when I'm alone with all these negative voices I will
E                B                    A        C#m
need your help to turn them down, turn them round
C#m           B      F#m   B
All these judgements so incisive
C#m      B      A      B
voices left to their devices
C#m   B         F#m      B        C#m
this woman's neuroses a desperate plea
      A          B      E B A           E B A       E
for slack to be cut to me.... cut to meeeeeeee... oooh
E                B                    A
don't leave me here with all these critical voices cause they
do the best to bring me down, bring me down
when I'm alone with all these negative voices I will
need your help to turn them down, turn them round

 

Til You 
Tom: Bb
Bb                 F    Gm        Eb
I've been wasting time clawing my way to you
Cm           Dm              Bb         F
Taking no prisoners with my romantic crimes
Bb                 F    Gm      Eb Ebm
I've been holding out imaging glimpses of you
Cm           Dm              Bb         F
Holding my breath while you come down the pike
Bb            F    Gm        Eb
Spinning my wheels round
                  Cm Dm       Bb F
I'm here dodging bullets til you
Bb   F    Gm        Eb
Ear to the ground
                 Cm Dm       Bb F
I'm here dodging bullets til you
I've been taking notes
Nursing the thought of you
Research and deliver cuz I'm biding my time
I've been holding on this magnet that calls to you
Entertaining myself with these consolation prizes
(CHORUS)
They've been plenty fun 
But mere peace holders to you
They feel the stance card 
As you form in my mind
(CHORUS)
Outro: 
Bb    F    Gm      Eb
Cm    Dm   Bb      F

 

Empathy 
Tom: E
Intro: E--B--A--A
E         B         A                E          B         A
There are so many parts that I have hidden and denied and lost
There are so many ways that I have cut off my nose to spite my face
There are so many colors that I still try to hide while I paint
And there are so many tunes that I secretly sing as I wait
            E B      A                          E  B  A
You come along and invite these parts out of hiding
This invitation is the one that I've stopped fighting....
                E   B   A  E    B       A
Thank you for seeing me I feel so less lonely
               E   B   A  E    B       A
Thank you for getting me I'm healed by
           E B A             E  B A
your empathy, oh this intimacy
E           B         A                E          B         A
There were so many times, I thought I'd die not being truly known
There've been so many moments: forever lonely in my vocation
             E B      A             E  B  A
You come along and celebrate each feeling
And there you are all honor and inquiring.......
(Chorus)
             C#m           B             A
There was a day where the trust that was being asked of me
C#m           B    A         B       C#m      B  A  B
Required too much you see to accept your generosity
         C#m      B  A   B        E
And to know myself enough to let you help me
Chorus)
Guardian
Tom: G
Intro: G D C Am7
G                  C
You, you who has smiled when you?re in pain
G            C
You who has soldiered through the profane
G              C                G  C
They were distracted and shut down
    G                  C
So why, why would you talk to me at all
G                   C
such words were dishonorable and in vain
G                 C
their promise as solid as a fog
C9
and where was your watchman then
G             D          C             Am7
I?ll be your keeper for life as your guardian
G             D          C         Am7
I?ll be your warrior of care your first warden
G             D        C            Am7
I?ll be your angel on call, I?ll be on demand
G             D       C             Am7
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
G                 C
You, you in the chaos feigning sane
G             C
You who has pushed beyond what?s humane
G              C             G
Them as the ghostly tumbleweed
C9
And where was your watchman then
G             D          C             Am7
I?ll be your keeper for life as your guardian
G             D          C         Am7
I?ll be your warrior of care your first warden
G             D        C            Am7
I?ll be your angel on call, I?ll be on demand
G             D       C             Am7
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian
G             C
Now no more smiling mid crestfall
G              C
No more managing unmanageables
G                 C                 G
No more holding still in the hailstorm
C9
Now enter your watchwoman
G             D          C             Am7
I?ll be your keeper for life as your guardian
G             D          C         Am7
I?ll be your warrior of care your first warden
G             D        C            Am7
I?ll be your angel on call, I?ll be on demand
G             D       C             Am7
The greatest honor of all, as your guardian 
Orchid 
Tom: G
Intro: G		 Em (x2)
(Verse 1)
G		 Em
	Me and my helmet
G		 Em
	Such an unconventional kid
G		 Em
	All intense and kinetic
Am		 D
	At best, tolerated from afar
(Verse 2)
G		 Em
	Not yet arrested 
G		 Em	
	and by that, I mean betrothed
G		 Em
	Though at start, I am duly courted
Am		 D
	I've just not been trusted with altars
(Chorus 1)
G		 Em
	I'm a sweet piece of work
G		 Em
	Well intentioned, yet disturbed
Am		 C
	Wrongly labeled and underfed
Am		 D
	Treated like a rose as an Orchid
G		 Em (x2)
	.......(Interlude)..........
(Verse 3)
G		 Em
	My friends as they weigh in
G		 Em
	Get understandably protective
G		 Em
	They have a hard time being objective
Am		 D
	So inside we cancel each other out
(Chorus 2)
G		 Em
	I'm a sweet piece of work
G		 Em
	Well intentioned, and unnerved
Am		 C
	Enabled and misunderstood
Am		 D
	Treated like a rose as an Orchid
(Middle Eight)
G		 Bm
	You've brought water to me
G		 Bm
	Making sure my bloom rebounds
G		 Bm
	You know best of what my special care allows...
(Verse 3)
G		 Em
	So I've lived in my blind spot
G		 Em
	Thought myself usual when I'm not
G		 Em
	In your garden is a nice spot
Am		 D
	As long as it is brave and where you are
(Chorus 3)
G		 Em
	For this sweet piece of work
G		 Em
	High maintenance and deserted
Am		 C
	I've been different and deserving
Am		 D
	Treated like a rose as an Orchid
(Chorus 4)
G		 Em
	Sweet piece of work
G		 Em
	Overwhelmed, unobserved
Am		 C
	I've been bowed down to but so misread
Am		 D
	Treated like a rose as an Orchid

G		 Em (play to fade or end on G...)
	(Ad Lib vocal embellishments to fade or til final G...)
Not All Me
Tom: G
G            C            G         C
I wear their faces all on top of my face
            G           C                    G          C
I am the perfect target screen for your blindly fuelled rage
G          C             G           C
I bear the brunt of your long buried pain
             G           C                     G           C
I don't mind helping you out but I want you to remember my name
Chorus
         G       C
It's not all me
         G      C
It's not all my fault
        G       C
I may remind you
                    D   C
But I won't take it all on
Verse
G            C              G           C
Past riddled rage I see the buttons I engage
           G       C                 G          C
With my dignity in place I'm all too happy to assuage
Chorus
Bridge
D              G              D                    C
Lest I find my voice find the strength to stand up to you
D                 G                 D            C
Lest I stay to my limit and take on only what is mine to
Verse
G        C                     G          C
We are a team I'm here to help mend and reseam
          G            C          G              C
All I trigger unknowingly a job I hold in high esteem
Chorus x 2
               D         C
I'll only take some of it

Intro: Em G Asus4 A  
  
   Em                   G   
Man decides  after  seventy  years   what he

Moratorium
Tom: Bbm
Intro: 
Bbm        F         Bbm                     F 
I’ve never been this accountable-less and within  
Bbm        F         Bbm               F 
I’ve never known focusless-ness on any form  
Bbm        F         Bbm                  F 
I’ve never had this lack of ache for dalliance,  
Bbm                F      Bbm                F 
To let go, and let god in ways I have never even imagined  
            Bbm                    F         
I declare a moratorium on things relationship  
            Bbm                           F 
I declare a respite from the toils of liaison  
            Bbm                            F 
I do need a breather from the flavors of entanglement  
            Bbm                                 F 
I declare a full time out from all things commitment  
(Bbm        F) 
I’ve never let my grasp soften fingers like this  
I’ve never been careless otherless like autonomy’s twin  
(Chorus)  
Cm    G 
Ah to breathe  
        Cm      G 
Stop looking outside  
Cm        G                  Cm 
Stop searching in corners of rooms  
                   G 
Not my business or timing  
Cm  G 
Ahhh  
(Bbm    F)     
I’ve never known freedom from intertwining  
I start again this time for keeps in my skin I’m residing  
(Chorus) 
Citizen Of The Planet
Tom: C#
Intro: C#5  B5  A5  G#5 
C#5               B5 
I start up in the north 
                    A5 
I grow from special seed  
                   G#5              C#5                  B5 
I sprinkle it with sensibility from French and Hungarian snow  
                 A5                      G#5 
I linger in the sprouting until my engine’s full  
(C#5  B5  A5  G#5) 
Then I move across the sea  
To European bliss  
To language of poets  
As I cut the cord of home  
I kiss my mother’s mother  
Look to the horizon  
(C#5  B5  A5  G#5) 
Wide eyed, new ground  
Humbled by my new surroundings  
C#5               D#5 D5 
I am a citizen of the planet  
C#5               D#5 D5 
My president is kwan yin  
C#5               D#5 D5 
My frontier is on an airplane  
C#5               D#5 D5 
My prisons: homes for rehabilitating  
C#5  B5  A5  G#5 
(C#5  B5  A5  G#5) 
Then I fly back to my nest 
I fly back with my nuclear but everything is different  
So I wait, my yearn for home is broadened, 
Patriotism expanded by calling from beyond  
So I pack my things nothing precious all things sacred  
(C#5  D#5  D5) 
I am a citizen of the planet  
My laws are all of attraction  
My punishments are consequences  
Separating from source the original sin  
(C#5  D#5  D5) 
I am citizen of the planet  
Democracy’s kids are sovereign  
Where the teachers are the sages  
And pedestals fill with every parent  
(C#5  B5  A5  G#5) 
And so, the next few years are blurry 
The next decades’ a flurry of smells and tastes unknown  
Threads sewn straight, through this fabric, 
Through fields of every color, one culture to another  
(C#5  B5  A5  G#5) 
I come alive and I get giddy 
I am taken and globally naturalized  
(C#5  D#5  D5) 
I am a citizen of the planet  
From simple roots through high vision  
I am guarded by the angels  
My body guides the direction I go in  
(C#5  D#5  D5) 
I am a citizen of the planet  
My favorite pastime edge stretching  
Besotten with human condition  
These ideals are borne from my deepest within

I'm too exhausting to be loved

wreaking havoc
Bm        D                  G
I'm but thorn in your sweet side
           A            Bm
You’ll be better off without me
         D               F#m
it'd be best to leave at once
Bm                                    G
   All these tapes in my head swirl around

Settled on new terrain

Unsure, unkind, insane

Gun-shy and shivering

Tear it without a hand
      Bm        A     G        A
Feign brave but still intent

Little and hardly here

Eyes wet toward wide open fright,

If God is taking bias, I pray he wants to lose,

     D         A         G          (A)
Now with post-demise at hand
   D         A           D           (A)
Can't go to you for consolation
       D           A            G       (A)
`Cause we're off limits during this transition
 
 
 
      G           A
This grief overwhelms me
    G              A
It burns in my stomach
     D             Bm            A
And I can't stop bumping into things
 
 
CHORUS:
                    D                    G
I thought we'd be simple together

Thought we'd be limitless together
                   D            
I thought we'd be precious together
           A
But I was sadly mistaken
 
 
  D     A            D                (A)
You've been my soulmate and then some
D        A            G                (A)
I remembered you the moment I met you
   D         A            D           (A)
With you I knew god's face was handsome
     D        A           G       (A)
With you I suffered an expansion
 
 
      G            A
This loss is numbing me
      G         A
It pierces my chest
     D              Bm          A
And I can't stop dropping everything
 
CHORUS:

Thought we'd be evolving together

I thought we'd have children together
                   D               
I thought we'd be family together
          A
But I was sadly mistaken
 
   G         A                   D          G
If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared
             A                D                  G
If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented
            A                D                 G
If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air
       A             D              G
My wealth would render this no less severe
 
CHORUS:

I thought we'd be genius together

I thought we'd be healing together

I thought we'd be growing together

Thought we'd be adventurous together

Front Row 
Tom: A 

 

I Know he's blood but you can't still turn him away, you don't owe him anything
A
Do you go to the dungeon to find out how to make peace with your days in the dungeon, writing 
a letter to you didn't make me feel anymore peaceful then how I felt when we weren't speaking 
'Cause I didn't cop to what I did. I can't love you 'cause we're supposed to have professional boundaries.I'd like you to be schooled and in awe as though you were kissed by God full on the lips
           E       F#m         C#m      E        D
I'm in the front row, the front row with popcorn
        E   F#m      C#m  E       D
I get to see you, see you close up
A
Slid into the ditch I have this overwhelming loss of ambition, we said let's name thirty good reasons
Why we shouldn't be together. I started by saying things like you smoke, you live in New Jersey
You started saying things like you belong to the world, all of wich could have been easily refuted
But the conversation was hypothetical I am totally short of breath for you, why can't you shut your stuff off...
Chorus
A
...For a while while I'm speaking. You know how much you hate to be interrupted, maybe spend some time alone fill up your proverbial cup, so that it doesn't always have to be about you
I've been wanting your undivided attention. I like the fact that you're nothing like me
Are you not burdened by the lack of perspective people have of your charmed life (seemingly)?
Chorus
A
Hey I'm not mad at you guardian, I'm mad at myself for spending so much time with you and your jeckyl and hydeness. I'm glad I figuratively slapped you on the wrist. You laughed a wicked laugh and said come here let me clip your wings. I know he's blood but you can't still turn him away you don't owe him anything. Raise the roof he yelled, yeah raise the roof I yelled back. Unfortunately you needed a health scare to reprioritize. No thanks to the soap box, having me rile agaisnt them won't make na ounce of difference
Chorus

Expending all that energy on fighting

Is he the one - that I will marry
And why is it so hard - to be objective about
Myself why do I feel - cellularly alone
Am I supposed to live - in this crazy city
            Bm                          G                        D
Can blindly continued fear-induced regurtitated life-denying tradition
Be overcome
D ( intro riff )
Where does the mo - ney go that I send
To those in need, if we - have so much why do some people have 
Nothing still why do - I feel frantic when I 
							    Bm
First wake up in the morning - why do you say you are spiritual
        G                 D
Yet you treat people like shit
D
How can you say - you're close to God
And yet you talk behind - my back as though I'm not
A part of you, why do - I say "I'm fine" when it's 
				                Bm	
Obvious I'm not, - why's it so hard to tell you what I want
     G                      D
Why can't you just read my mind?
Intro riff
Why do I fear - that the quieter I am
The less you will listen - why do I care whether you like me 
Or not why's it so hard - for me to be angry
						            Bm
Why is it such work to stay - conscious and so easy to get stuck
    G			D
And not the other way around
D ( intro riff )
Will I ever move - back to Canada can 
I be with a lover - with whom I am a student
And a master, oh why am I - encouraged to shut my 
Mouth when it gets too close - to home, why cannot I
Bm       G     D
Live in the moment

 

I was hoping
Tom: Em

Verse
 Em
 As we were talking outside it was cold we were
 C
 shivering yet warmed by the subject matter my wife
 Em
 was in the next room we´we been having troubles you know please don´t
 C
 tell her or anyone but I need to talk to somebody
 Em
 you said "wouldn´t it be a shame if I knew how great I was five
 C
 minutes before I died I´d be filled with such regret before
 Em
 I took my last breath" and I said "you´re willing to tell me this now
and you´re
 C
 not going to die anytime soon" and I said
 Em
 I haven´t been eating chicken or meat or anything and you said yes but
 C
 you´ve been wearing leather
 Em
 and laughed and said we´re at the top of the food chain and yes you´re
still a find woman and
 C
 I cringed
Chorus 
Em C
 I was  hoping I was
 Am
 hoping we could heak each other
 Em C
 I was hoping I was
 Am
 hoping we could be raw together

D(add4)
I don't want to be the filler
If the void is solely yours
I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
Hidden in the bottem drawer and
I don't want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine
Let me some fresh air
I don't want to be adored for what I 
Merely represent to you 
I don't want to be your baby sitter
You're a very big boy now
I don't want to be your mother I didn't 
Carry you in my womb for nine months
Show me the back door
         Bb5                C5
Chorus: Visiting hours are nine to five

D(ADD4)
I don't want to be the sweeper
Of the eggshells that you walk upon
I don't  want to be your other half
I believe that one and one make two
I don't want to be your food or the light 
From the fridge on your face at midnight hey
What are you hungry for
D(add4)
I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
I don't want to be your idol, see this
Pedestal is high and I'm afraid of heights
I don't want to be lived through a vicarious occasion please
Open the window
Chorus
D(add4)
I don't want to live on someday 
When my motto is last week and I
Don't want to be responsible for your 
Fractured heart and it's wounded beat
I don't want to be a substitute for the smoke you've been inhaling well
What do you thank me
What do you thank me for

21 things i want in a lover
Tom: Am
(Am, C , G , F ,C)
do you derive joy when someone else succeeds? do you not play dirty when engaged in
competition? do you have a big intellectual capacity but know that it alone does not
equate wisdom?
do you see everything as an illusion? but enjoy it even though you are not of it?
are you both masculine and feminine? politically aware? and don't believe in capital  
punishment?
Am        C   G              F          C
these are 21 things that I want in a lover
Am          C     G             F            C
not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
(Am, C , G , F ,C)
do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that loving someone can actually feel like
freedom? are you funny? à la self-deprecating? like adventure? and have many formed
opinions?
CHORUS
Am       C         G                        F               C
I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
Am         C      G                 F          C
these are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover
(Am, C , G , F ,C)
I'm in no hurry I could wait forever
I'm in no rush cuz I like being solo
there are no worries and certainly no pressure
in the meantime I'll live like there's no tomorrow
(Am, C , G , F ,C)
are you uninhibited in bed? more than three times a week? up for being experimental?
are you athletic? are you thriving in a job that helps your brother? are you not addicted?
...curious and communicative...
