G              D          C
I lit out from Reno I was trailed by twenty hounds
G              D                        C
Didn't get to sleep that night till the morning came around
CHORUS:
D
Set out runnin' but I take my time
  Am
a friend of the devil is a friend of mine
   D
If I get home before day light
  Am                  C       D
I just might get some sleep tonight
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills
CHORUS
G-C-D
Ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air ...CHORUS
BRIDGE:
        D
       Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night
    C
The first one's named Sweet Anne Marie and she's my heart's delight
D
Second one is prison, baby, the shefiff's on my trail
    Am                            C                D   riff 3 (D -> G)
and if he catches up with me I'll spend my life in jail
G-C-D
Got a wife in Chino, babe, and one in Cherokee
First one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me

Verse 1:
D             G          Bm                A               D
   On certain Sundays in November when the weather bothers me
(D)     G                Bm                A              D
I empty drawers of other summers where my shadows used to be
(D)        G               Bm             A             D
And she is standing by the water as her smile begins to curl
(D)        G           Bm          A
In this or any other summer she is something altogether different
A
Never just an ordinary girl  [riff or D G Bm A]
Verse 2:
D             G                Bm                A               D
   And in the evenings on Long Island when the colours start to fade
(D)         G            Bm                A                D
She wears a silly yellow hat that someone gave her when she stayed
(D)      G                Bm                A              D
I didn't think that she returned it we left New York in a whirl
(D)        G           Bm                    A
Time expands and then contracts when you are spinning in the grips of 
        A                       G
someone who is not an ordinary girl
Chorus 1:
          A                  D                G
When you sleep you find your mother in the night
        D                 G
But she stays just out of sight
         D         F#m               A
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
G              A                D               G
 And when you wake the morning covers you with light
        D               G
And it makes you feel alright
         D                  F#m             A           Dsus2 (to riff or D G Bm A)
But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
Verse 3:
D                 G           Bm             A               D
   You send your lover off to China then you wait for her to call 
(D)          G            Bm                A                D
You put your girl up on a pedestal then you wait for her to fall 
(D)         G               Bm           A                D
I put my summer's back in a letter and I hide it from the world 
(D)        G                  Bm             A
All the regrets you can't forget are somehow pressed upon a picture 
        A                       G
In the face of such an ordinary girl 
Chorus 2:
              A                  D                G
And when you sleep you find your mother in the night
        D                 G
But she stays just out of sight
         D         F#m               A
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
G              A                 D               G
 And when you wake the morning showers you with light
        D               G
And it makes you feel alright
         D                  F#m             A           D
But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
      G      Em    A
Again, again,  again
     D                   G              A          D
It's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
      G      Em    A
Again, again,  again
         D                   G              A         
And it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again

You Cant Count On Me 
Tom: D
Intro:  Em - D - G - C
        Em - D - G
D                  G
Anything's hard to change 
                  D                  G
But hey I got you down on your knees again
              Em 
You watch the sky 
               C              G
It's a pale parade of passing clouds 
               D                 G
That cover the bed upon which we laid in the dark 
        D               G
And the memories that I made 
              Em
Of a laughing girl
                   C  
But you're just my toy 
                 G                D
And I can't stop playing with you baby 
       G                 C
If you think you need to go 
       G            C
If you wanted to be free 
                 G                 Am
There's just one thing you need to know 
                Em        D        G 
And that's that you can't count on me 
    D                 G
I'm coming along real good 
                     D                    G
But I still can't do most of the things I should 
            Em         C            G
I watch the sky coming down to bury me... 
                      D                  G
And I can't stop this crawling out of my skin 
                D                   G
I know that you see yourself flying in 
           Em
Out of the sky 
       C
Coming down 
         G                   D
To carry me but I won't come out 
          G                 C
So if you think you need to go 
       G            C
If you wanted to be free 
            G                 Am
There's one thing you need to know 
                Em        D        G   C
And that's that you can't count on me....
    Em        D        G 
No, you can't count on me

       Am - G

  D                        G
I watch all of the same parades 
                    D                        G
As they pass on the days that you wish you'd stayed 
             Em
But all this pain
        C
Gets me high 
          G                D
And I get off and you know why 
          G                 C
So if you think you need to go 
       G            C
If you wanted to be free 
            G                 Am
There's one thing you need to know 
                Em        D        G 
And that's that you can't count on me 
          G                 C
So if you think you need to go 
       G            C
If you wanted to be free 
                 G                 Am
There's just one thing you need to know 
                Em        D        G   C
And that's that you can't count on me....
    Em        D        G   C
Oh, you can't count on me....
    Em        D        G
No, you can't count on me

Come Around 
Tom: C
Intro: C-F             (X2)
          C
Have you seen the little pieces
         F
of the people we have been?
        C                           F
Little pieces blowing gently on the wind
          C
They have flown down California
          F
They have landed in LA
        C                            F
Little pieces slowly settling on the waves
G                              Dm
   I'm one of a million pieces falling on the ground
G                                 Dm
   It's one of the reasons we say good-bye
      G
We'll still come around.
C-F    (X2)
       C
I have waited for tomorrow 
     F
from December til today
           C
and I have started love and sorrow 
          F
along the way.
     C
I am calling from some city
      F
and I won't be there too long
        C
I could wait and I could waste away
     F
and what come back is here you say
      G
We're gone 
For all of the times that I go 
Dm
spinning up and down
G                                Dm
When all of the things have died between us
G
we'll still come around. 
C - F    (X2)
C                F
After I've been missing for a while
C                        Dm
and you hear that summer song.
C               F            G
Haven't all the fading lines lingered on?
       C
What I know is she's going
        F
and you know it, it's all right.
       C
So you put yourself
                     F
between you and your pride.
       C
If you wait for what's coming
        F
and the lesson to her lies
            C   
then she'll say the things you need to hear
        F                            G
and the only one who'll disappear is you.
                               Dm
And one of a million lies she said,
                                      G
is all of the things you love are dead,
but I've seen what she thinks is love
     Dm
and it leaves me laughing
   F                 C
so we'll still come around.

Cowboys on the road tonight crying in their sleep
           C                                         Em
If I was a hungry man with a gun in my hand and some promises to keep
              C                                    Em
Who wanted to change the world...what's as easy as murder?
                        C                           Em
It's all headlights and vapor trails...and Circle K killers
           G               D          C 
And I know I could look at anyone but you now

I could fall into the eyes of anyone but you now

The president's in bed tonight but he can't get to sleep

And I believe she loves you cause you never make her feel like anything

She said I wouldn't feel a thing...but I can feel, oh I can feel

VERSES: F C G
She sat right down on the sofa
She said "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you."
And last night I had something so good
These days get so long and I got nothing to do
CHORUS: F C G
I've been hanging around this town on a corner
I've been buming around this old town too long
I've been hanging around this town on a corner
I've been buming around this old town for way too long
We spend all day getting sober
Just hiding from daylight, watching TV
We just look a lot better in the blue light
You know I gotta get out, but I'm stuck so tight, weighed by the chains that
keep me
Hanging around this town on a corner
I've been buming around this old town too long
Hanging around this town  on a corner
I've been buming around this old town for way too long
GUITAR SOLO CHORDS: F C G
This girl listens while the band plays
She says "Where have you been? I been lying right here on the floor"
I got all this time to be waiting
For what is mine to be hated what I am after the light has faded
Hanging around this town on a corner
I been buming around his old town too long
I been hanging around this town on a corner
I been buming around this old town for way too, way
I been hanging around this town on a corner
I been buming around this old town for way too long
I been hanging around this town on a corner
I been buming around this old town for
way, way, way, way, way too long
way, way, way, way,  too long
way, way, way, way too long
way, way, way, way,  too long

Close your eyes and she ascends

She is sleeping far away

Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I get me ends and my beginnings mixed up, too
Just the way you do
I thought if I told you
You might want to stay for just another day or two
It's just like answers that come in small packages that go in the mail
Waiting for the trains that just never come
Beginning to believe in The disappearing nature of the people we have been
We have begun to change
Into the worst kind of people
So what kind of apology
No apologies
This apology doesn't describe
The way it feels to feel for you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I find myself slowly disappearing, too
Just the way you do
I thought if I told you
You might want to help me to remain with you
I just wanna stay for a little while
I wanna stay a little while
Oh, come on (4 times)
Cause there's a night light just falling down on me
I just feel like a change
But if the southern summer sea of flowers
Won't bloom without the rain
But oh this desert life
This high life
Here at the dying of the day
I wasn't made for the scene, baby
But I wasn't made in this scene, baby
It's just my way
I don't wanna go home alone
I wanna come on home to you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How I line my sky with all the silver I can get
Just the way you do
I thought if I told you
You might want to stay for just another day or two
(whispering-like)
Isn't that just like disappearing into the sum of yourself
and the person you are disappearing into
it's like one plus one equals nothing at all
one plus two equals nothing at all
one plus me equals nothing at all
one plus you equals one plus you equals you equals
you and you and you and
nothing at all (repeated 10 times

The contrast of white on white.

And in in between the moon and you

Angels get a better view
        Em7                          G
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

Through myself and back again.

She say's she's close to understanding Jesus

She knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
        Em7                             G
She has trouble acting normal when shes nervous

Round here we talk just like lions


        Em                   G
But we sacrifice like lambs
          C            D                Em
Round here she's slipping through my hands


A D G A G 


A   Am7              D7/A                A  G A
 Sleeping children better run like the wind
Am7         D7            A   G A 
Out of the lightning dream
  Am7              D7/A              A     G A
Mama's little baby better get herself in
 C          D
Out of the lightning


     C(AddD)     D           Em7       G
She says, "It's only in my head."
     C(AddD)                  D          Em7    G
She says, "shh...I know it's only in my head."


        C(AddD)
But the girl on the street by the parking lot 
      D
says:"Man, you should try to Take a shot
Em7                                   G
Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"


         C(AddD)
Then she looks up at the building
              D
Say's she's thinking of jumping
                Em7
She says she's tired of life;
              G
She must be tired of something.


          C        D            Em    G
Round here she's always on my mind

Round here I got lots of time
          C                           D
Round here we're never sent to bed early
       Em               G
Man, nobody makes us wait
          C           D           Em           G           
round here we stay up very, very, very, very late.

Dm 			  Bb
    Thought I might get a rocket ride
       F
When I was a child,
       C
But it was a lie.
      Dm                  Bb               F     A
That I told myself when I needed something good.
Dm             Bb
   At 17 had a better dream
        F          C
Now I'm 33, and it isn't me.
       Dm                  Bb          A
But I'd think of something better if I could.
Gm 		   A
All my friends and lovers

Will leave me behind,
Bb               F             A
   And I'm still looking for a girl.
Gm     A 
One way  or another
         Dm	   G      Bb
I'm just hoping to find a way
	  F		  Bb
To put my feet out in the world.
Dm        		    Bb
   Caught some grief from a falling leaf
       F	        C
As she tumbled into the dirty ground,
          Dm	 		Bb	        F     A
And said I  should have put her back there if I could.
Dm			 Bb
   Well everyone needs a better day,
        F	            C
And I'm tryin' to find me a better way.
      Dm                      Bb                  A
To get   through the things I do and the things I should.
Gm		   A
All my friends and lovers
     Dm	       G
Will leave me alone.
Bb          F 		  A
  To try to have a little fun.
Gm          A
One way or another
       Dm	   G
I just wish I had known
Bb	    F              Bb   F
  To go out walking in the sun.
Bb 	      F		      G#   Bb
  To find out if you were the one.

Do you wanna come a little closer now

F  Bb
Dm		   	  Bb
   Well all you want is a beauty queen,
	  F
But not a superstar,
         C		Dm          
But everybody's dream machine.
		  Bb		    F     A
All you want is a place to lay your head.
Dm			    Bb
   You go to sleep dreamin' how you would
     F		           C
Be a different kind if you thought you could,
       Dm   		 Bb		A
But you   come awake the way you are instead.
Gm	 	   A
All my friends and lovers,
     Dm		    G
They shine like the sun.
Bb		F	      A
   Well I just turn and walk away.

 Mary-Jaine says its alright, she's just around the corner from the main line
     A
 Any day now, its alright. She's standing on the precipice of big time
            A
 And I know I'm a little up tight. I got to go before the sun shine
                     A
 We're just a couple small people squeezing out a life. We need a little good time
 
                  F#m    E              D
 Its not far from here.  Mary comes and goes.  Drifting through the 
 F#m        E              D
 scenery of shallow days below. And then as everybody knows you follow 
 A
 trains out of town and they vanish somewhere under the horizon Yeah well I saw 
       A
 Mary-Jaine drag her shadow down the tracks, stair of into the distance. 
 
                  F#m     E            D
 Its not far from here.   Mary waves hello. Smiling though she's 
 F#m            E              D 
 sinking in the shallow days below
 Bm                    D          F#m
      I can't find the way out of here, out on the road again 
     Bm               D            F#m
 I'm much much too concerned about Mary-Jaine. I'm all alone again and
 Bm                   D                     F#m
      I like what she said, but not what it means. She leaves me drowning through the 
 Bm             D              F#m    E
 shallow days,    down below
           
                  A
 I know I heard a band playing waltzes in a grange hall, the sun is sinking lower
                      A
 People stair at Mary-Jaine humming softly to herself. Ain't nobody really knows her
         A
 And any day now its alright. She tells herself that this will be the last time
          A
 And Mary-Jaine pulls her hair back and wonders what she'll do with all the free time
 
                  F#m    E             D 
 Not too far from here.  Mary turns to go. Smiling while the 
 F#m             E                D
 waltz begins to dancin down the road, hey, hey
 Bm          D                 F#m              
 Hey hey Mr. Freedom, what are we supposed to think?
             Bm        D              F#m
 Cause I'm a very tiny person, and it worries me, out all alone again and
 Bm                   D                    F#m
      I like what she said but not what it means, she leaves me drowning in the
