Paper Tiger 
Tom: E
Verse
E       (E7)              Bm 
Just like a paper tiger
Torn apart by idle hands
Through the helter skelter morning
Fix yourself while you still can
No more ashes to ashes
No more cinders from the sky
All the laws of creation
Tell a dead man how to die 
Chorus
E    C                   A
O deserts down below us
E    C                   A
And storms up above
E         C                         A
Like a stray dog gone defective
E          A         G       D
Like a paper tiger in the sun
Verse
E       (E7)              Bm
Looking through a broken diamond
To make the past what it should be
Through the ruins and the weather
Capsized boats in the sea
Chorus
E    C                   A
O deserts down below us
E    C                   A
And storms up above
E         C                         A
Like a stray dog gone defective
E          A         G       D
Like a paper tiger in the sun
E       (E7)              Bm 
We're just holding on to nothing
To see how long nothing lasts
Chorus
E    C                   A
O deserts down below us
E    C                   A
And storms up above
E         C                         A
Like a stray dog gone defective
E          A         G       D
Like a paper tiger in the sun
E       (E7)              Bm 
There's one road to the morning
There's one road to the truth
There's one road back to civilization
But there's no road back to you....

Beautiful Way 
Tom: F
F
The searchlights on the skyline
Just looking for a friend
Who's gonna love my baby
When she's gone around the bend
Bb
Egyptian bells are ringing
When it's her birthday
F
Sweet nothing I'm talking about you
There's a hurricane blowing your way
CHORUS
F                         Bb
Ooh such a beautiful way
                    F
To break your heart

Ooh such a beautiful way

To break your heart

There's someone calling your name
                   F
It's driving you insane
VERSE 2
You were wearing that stained raincoat
And your umbrella was a tangled mess
You were washed up on the glittering shoals
Looking for another crime to confess
Bb
You bribed yourself out of a place in the sun
But you had some change to spare
F
So you said you wanna spend it on me
And shook the blues out of your hair
CHORUS
F                         Bb
Ooh such a beautiful way
                    F
To break your heart

Ooh such a beautiful way

To break your heart

Bah bah bah bah

There's someone calling your name
                            F
You're gonna miss that train

From the backroad to the bay

There's more to do than there is to say

Walls

Verse   Bb                                 Ab
          Some days we get a thrill in our brains
                     F     Ab     Bb
        Some days it turns into malaise
                                   Ab
        You see your face in the veneer
                            F    Ab Bb
        Reflected on the surface of fear
                                           Ab
        Because you know we're better than that
                                       F   Ab  Bb
        But some days we're worse than you can imagine
                                           Ab
        And how am I supposed to live with that
                                      F    Ab    Bb
        With all these train wrecks coming at random
                             
Chorus                         F#
        Hey what are you gonna do

        When those walls are falling down

Verse                                     Ab
        You got warheads stacked in the kitchen
                                   F    Ab  Bb
        You treat distraction like it's a religion
                                           Ab
        With a rattlesnake step in your rhythm
                                  F      Ab      Bb        
        We do the best with the souls we've been given
                                                  Ab
        Because you know we're nothing special to them
                                   F      Ab   Bb
        We're going some place they've already been
                                                  Ab
        Trying to make sense of what they call wisdom
                                     F     Ab  Bb
        And this riff raff ain't laughing with them

        Hey what are you gonna do.
                   Ab                Bb
        When those walls are falling down
                        Ab    F Ab Bb
        Falling down on you

        Hey what are you gonna do.
                   Ab                Bb
        When those walls are falling down
                        Ab    F Ab Bb
        Falling down on you
Verse                                           Ab
        You're wearing all of the years on your face
                             F    Ab     Bb
        Turn a tombstone you roll into place
                                         Ab
        And your heart only beats in a murmur
                                F    Ab   Bb    
        But your words ring out just like murder
Teenage Wastebasket 
Tom: C
C    G     Fmaj7    G
She is a teenage wastebasket
C      G       Fmaj7    G
Paddling up the river in a casket
C            G           Fmaj7      G
Trying to experience everything at least once
C          G          Fmaj7         G
Her life is a comercial for being fucked up
C-G-Fmaj7-G (Continues throughout)
I know shes not saying much
Shes walking backwards and into to dust
Socks don't matter teeth are turning green
Opinions are forming
(wah ooo wah ooo......)
Her mother is proud to be dead
Her dad is break dancing underneath the bed
She's got lipstick scrawled across her forehead
Sayin "please destroy me"
(wah ooo wah ooo.....)
She found the thrill on top of the hill
Now shes choking on the punk rock pill
coz it all boils down to a casualy pathetic future
(wah ooo wah ooo.....)	
Woe On Me
Tom: G
G - (As transcribed above)
On the old forgotten crossways where the fourteen rivers did meet
G
The bones of our elders were lying in the street
G
On the dark and dusty desert like a ghost I've flown
G
I barely cried wherever I'd ride I ride I never found a home
C  D    G
Woe on me
 Am                       D
Somehow I will feel more free
G                               C
To wallow in the empty headed peace
Am                                      D
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease
G
I am just a ramshackle I go from town to town
G
Where there is no shelter I lay down on the grown
G
I've killed for no reason I've pissed upon a kind
G
Cost them all and burned the bone when I've had the time
C  D    G
Woe on me
 Am                       D
Somehow I will feel more free
G                               C
To wallow in the empty headed peace
Am                                      D
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease
G
Well there's saints and there are animals they've taken what they could
G
And it's written in the pages to do just what they should
G
Well they stood the test and burned the rest and tore them limb from limb
G
Like a fashion with no passion they open up their skin
C  D    G
Woe on me
 Am                       D
Somehow I will feel more free
G                               C
To wallow in the empty headed peace
Am                                      D
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease

                  F
donde el viento salvaje
          C             F
hay algo vacio cuando empieza.
C - F x2
Viajo sin rumbo fijo en mis botas viejas
cabos, sueltos enlazan a mi cabeza
Si pensabas ir al lugar donde los paganos van
pongalo junto envitacion extrano.
Bottle Of Wine 
Tom: G
       chorus:
  G               C              
bottle of wine, bottle of wine,
  G                   D
where did you go and lose my mind 
   G                  a  
i spent my change, i fell out of line,
   D                       G                                  
 down in the bottom of a bottle of wine 
   G                    C
i mowed the carpet, i drank shampoo,
    G                     D
i smoked the wallpaper sniffed all the glue
     G                                C
I turned on the strobe lights, the vibrating bed
    D                      G
I drank the wine for to straighten my head
-chorus-  
              G                     C
Well, I just might get the urge to roll out of bed
 D                        G
Dog is moaning and your girlfriend is dead
  G                          C
Dishes in the sink and your body starts to itch
 D                       G
Take out the trash, and fall in a ditch
-chorus-

Volcano 
Tom: Em
Em                            G                             
  I've been waliking on these streets so long
             C               G           F#m
I don't know   where they're going to lead anymore
Em                        G
  But I think I must have seen a ghost
             C               G              F#m
I don't know   if it's my illusions that keep me alive
A                        C                       
  I don't know what I've seen   
                 E              G
Was it all an illusion  All a mirage gone bad 
       A               C
Ohhhhh   I'm tired of evil
                 E                  G
And all that it feeds  But I don't know
Em                            G
   I've been drifting on this wave so long
             C         G             F#m
I don't know   if it's already crashed on the shore
Em                             G
  And I've been riding on this train so long
             C                         G           F#m
I can't tell   if it's you or me who's driving us in-to the ground
A                     C
  I don't know if I'm sane
                          E                      G
But there's a ghost in my heart  Who's trying to see in the dark
       A               C
Ohhhhh   I'm tired of people
                      E                           G
Who only want to be pleased  But I still want to please you
G                     F
  And I heard of that Japanese girl
           Em          C
Who jumped into the volcano
        A                 C
Was she trying to make it back
Em                           F
  Back into the womb of the world
Em                             G
  I've been drinking all these tears so long
             C             G        F#m           
All I've got   left is the taste of salt in my mouth
Em  G   
C   G   F#m
A                         C
  I don't know where I've been
                      E                 G
But I know where I'm going  To that volcano
       A                        C
Ohhhhh   I don't want to fall in though
                       E                    G
Just want to warm my bones on that fire a while
A   C   E   G

Chemtrails 
Tom: A
(verse)
A       G                       F       G
I can’t believe what we’ve seen outside
A          G                    F       E     
You and me watching the jets go by
F         G
Oh, oooh, oh
Oh, oooh, oh
(chorus)
A           C           F
Down by the sea so many people’ve
G
Already drowned
A          C                        F
You and me watching the sea full of people
G
Try not to drown
So many people, so many people
Where do they go?
You and me watching the sky full of chemtrails
That’s where we can float
(repeat verse chords as above)
All I can take from these skies is fog
And all I can see in this light are boats sinking
Oh, oooh, oh
Oh, oooh, oh
(repeat chorus chords as above)
Down by the sea
Swallowed by evil they’ve already drowned
You and me watching the sea full of people
Who’ve already drowned
So many people, so many people
Where do they go?
You and me hit by a test of white evil rain
Watching the jet planes go by
You and me watching
You and me watching
Chemtrails form swelling behind
That’s what I mean when we got in the slipstream
We’re climbing a hole in the sky
Modern Guilt 
Tom: Ebm
Intro : Ebm
Heyyyy da da dada da
Verse : Ebm, F#, A, B, F#, Bb x2
I feel uptight when I walk in the city
I feel so cold when I'm at home
Feels like everything's starting to hit me
I lost my baby ten minutes ago
Chorus : B, F#, Ebm, Bb7
         B, F#, Ebm, Bb7
         B, F#, D, A
         B, F#, Bb7, Bb7
Modern guilt, I'm stranded with nothing
Modern guilt, I'm under lock and key
Misapprehension turning into convention
Don't know what I've done
But I feel ashamed
Verse
Standing outside the cracks on the sidewalk
These people talk about impossible things
And I'm falling out the conversation
And I'm a pawn piece in a human shield
Chorus
Modern guilt is all in our hands
Modern guilt won't get me today
Say what you will, it's something I sing about
Don't know what I've done
But I feel afraid
Outro : Ebm, C#, B, Bb7
Da da da
Da da da
Da da da

Missing 
Tom: F
(  F+                             E7+9                   F+             E7+9)
doo doo doo doo      doo    doo doo doo  doo doo         etc.
doo dooo dooo dooo dooo
 doo dooo dooo doo  dooo do do do do
I prayed heaven today
would bring  its hammer down  on me
and pound you out of my head
I can't think with you in it
I dragged all that I owned
down a dirt road to find you
my shoes worn out and used
they can't take me much farther
 whoa whoa whoa
Something always
takes the place of
missing pieces
you can take and
put together even though
you know there's something missing
the sun burned
a hole in my roof
I can't seem to fix it
I hope the rain doesn't come
and wash me down the gutter
she rides in a car like a queen on a card
and the guns of her mind aim a line
straight at mine to a heart that was broke tried to feel but got choked in the smoke of a desert
a beach with no leisure a night that's so blue
feed the aching in you and the backround
birds take a flight from the earth where the bonfire burns and the night current turns 
a lifeboat floating down
a river of sleep
I cant see her hollow eyes
Im walking along with my boots full of rocks
I can't beleive these tears were mine
I'll give them to you to put away in a box
something always takes the place of
missing pieces you can take and
put together even though
you know there's something missing
something always missing
always someone missing something

i just found me a bottle of blues
some strange comfort for a soul to soothe
ain't it hard ain't it hard,
to want somebody who doesn't want you
and i've been waiting for a year, a day
some strange weather must be blowin' my way
cause i got no mind to go or to stay,
or be left behind
F                               E
holdin' hands with an impotent dream

like a tired soldier with nothin' to shoot
     F          D9                  C
and nowhere to lose this bottle of blues
egos drone and pose alone
like black balloons all banged and blown
on a backwoods river the infidels shiver
in the stench of belief
i tell my momma i'm a hundred years late
i'm over the rails and out of the race
and the crippled psalms of an age that won't thaw
are ringing in my ears
holdin' hands with an impotent dream
in a brothel of fake energy
put a nickel in the graveyard machine
i get higher and lower
i get higher and lower
like a tired soldier
with nothin' to shoot
and nowhere dreams it's a..

Besides the dust in my pockets

And the things that just eat away my soul

Strange apparition

Take off your necklace and throw it away

I saw her, yeah I saw her
            C                       A
With a black tongue tied round the roses
A                                      (G)
A fist pounding on a vending machine
 C                         A
Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger
A 
With a noose she could hang from the sun
       G                            C
And point it out with the dark sunglasses
A          
Walking crooked down the beach
         G                                      C
She spits in the sand where their bones are bleaching

With her hands tied back, her rags are burnin'

White noise, her ears are ringing

   Throw a bullet from a freight train leaving

Your brains went black when she took back her mouth
    C          E        A
And put it out into the sun
    C         E            A
The birds did fly when the heavens all went dry
        C              E         A
And the cigarettes are smokin by themselves
Chorus:
F
She'll do anything

She'll do anything to make you feel like an asshole

Call her name, she looks the same as you
C                  E              A
Question mark stretched across the skin
C                    E              A
She dangles carrots, makes you feel embarrassed
C          E              A
To be the fool you know you are
Chorus:

What we're talking about here is kind of a...it's a...Heartland Feeling.

Find someone who will pass and change them.

A                            B
I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids
    F#                           E 
The world is your oyster and the trash bags are your kids
A                                  B
The ceiling is invisible there's a bird sinkin thru the sky
F#                            E  
And every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry
D                           A
Cuz it's lonely here in the ugly part of town
    B                                E
The buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down
A                                     B
There's a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin
F#                               E  
The sewer drain is glowing and I don't know what state I'm in
A                                B
And the river is on fire there's chemicals and debris
F#                                        E
And all the roads are blocked off they're just too hard to see
D                             A
So cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show
B                                        E
Cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own
A                              B 
So get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair
F#                                    E
The limitations are limitless they're floating thru the air
D                               A
Cuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you
B                                                 E
And there's nothin I wouldn't talk about with the clearest dream

G          A
Seem to be sayin as you're
G         A
Patiently waiting like an

Chorus:

Well I'm puttin it down
A                  G       A       G

E               D
Treat me like a clown and I don't
G        A
Wanna be funny
 G      A
Fat chance
    G                   A
Glued to the wall like a centerfold
    G      A
Of an old cannonball
    G      A
Will you put me inside
    G                   A
Your TV tonite cause you're treatin' me
    G      A
Like a rerun
**Chorus
 G   A
So what
    G      A
I just lost my job at the hut.
    G      A
My ass got cut.
    G      A
But I'll be better at kissin'
    G      A
When my teeth are all missin'
    G      A
And the silverware's burnt
    G      A
And I'm eatin' with my fingers
**Chorus
Pay No Mind
Tom: D
D                A       C        D       
Tonight, the city is full of morgues.
D                G              D
And all the toilets 're overflowing.
D                   A                 C              D
And shopping malls coming out of the walls.
D                        G            A   E      
As we walk out among the manure.
E           G F E
That's why,
E           G F E
Pay no mind


D                A       C        D 
Give the finger to the rock 'n roll singer.
D                G              D
As he's dancing upon your paycheck.
D                   A                 C              D
Sales climb higher through the garbage pail sky.
D                        G            A   E 
Like a giant dildoe crushing the sun
E           G F E
That's why, 
E           G F E
Pay no mind.
E           G F E
Sleep in slime, 
E           G F E
Just got a sign.


D                A       C        D 
So get out your lead pipe pipetrains.
D                G              
Get out your ten foot flags.
D                   A                 C              D
The insects are huge and the poision's all been used.
D                        G            A   E
And the drugs won't kill your day job, honey.
E           G F E
That's Why.....
Readymade
Tom: D
    D    G          A     G
 An open road where I can breathe
           D      G      D
 Where the lowest low is comin to me
       D      G         A       G
 I can pull myself back up back down
 D       G             D
 Stuck together like a readymade
 
     D      G     A        G
 And nobody knows where we been
 D         G           D
 Cancelled rations are running thin
 D       G    A      G
 Watches tick out of tune
 D        G           D
 Falling apart like a readymade
 
 C
 And my bags are waiting
        A
 In the next life
 D       G     A         G
 Rubbish piles fresh and plain
 D     G          D
 Empty boxes in a pawn shop brain
 D       G      A    G
 License plates stowaway
 D           G           D    
 Standing in line like a readymade
 
 C
 And my bags are waiting
        A
 In the next life
 
    D    G          A     G 
 An open road where I can breathe
           D      G      D 
 Where the lowest low is comin to me
       D      G         A       G
 I can pull myself back up back down
 D       G             D 
 Stuck together like a readymade
 
        C    
 And my bags are waiting
        A
 In the next life
Satan Gave Me A Taco
Tom: E

E                           B
Satan gave me a taco and it made me really sick
A                           E
The chicken was all raw and the grease was mighty thick
E                           B
The rice was all rancid and the beans were so hard
A                           E
I was getting kinda dizzy eatin' all the lard
E                           B
There was aphids on the lettuce and I ate every one
A                           E
And after I was done the salsa melted off my tongue
E                           B
Pieces of tortilla got stuck in my throat
A                           E
And the stains on my clothes burned a hole through my coat
E                           B
My stomach was tremblin' and I broke out in a rash
A                           E
I was so dry and thirsty and I didn't have no cash
E                           B
So I went and found a hose tore off all my clothes
A                           E
Turned on the water and it shot right up my nose
E                           B
Some old lady came along and she flat out was a freak
A                           E
So she beat me with her handbag 'til I could hardly speak
E                           B
I was lying there naked my body badly bruised
A                           E
In a pool of my own blood unconscious and confused
E                           B
When the cops came and got me and threw me in their van
A                           E
And I woke up on the ceiling and I couldn't find my hand
E                           B
They took me to the judge his eyes were glowing red
A                           E
The courtroom was filled with witches and the dead
E                           B
The sheriff was a hell-hound with fangs and claws
A                           E
The prisoners were tied up and chained to the walls
E                           B
The air was getting thick the smoke was getting thicker
A                           E
The judge read the verdict said Cut off his head
E                           B
Well they placed me on the altar they raised up the axe
A                           E
My head was about to explode when I noticed the Marshall stacks
E                           B
I noticed all the smoke machines cameras and lights
A                           E
Some guy with a microphone runnin' around dancin' in tights  and I noticed
E                           B
The crew and the band playin' down below
A                           E
And I realized I was in a rock 'n' roll [video]
E                           B
So I went and joined the band and I went out on tour
A                           E
And I smoked a lot of heroin and I passed out in manure
E                           B
I made out with the groupies started fires backstage
A                           E
Made a lot of money and I gave it all away
E                           B
Well the band got killed so I started a solo career
A                           E
And I won all the awards and I drank all the beer
E                           B
I opened up a taco stand just to smell the smell
A                           E
Cookin' with the devil, fryin' down in hell
