Heart Remains A Child 
Tom: D
Intro: D     D/B     D     D/B
Verse 1:
D                               D/B 
I dreamed about you again last night
     D                        D/B
You never have the same face twice
         G/C            
But I always know it's you,
                                            D        D/B   
and you're always looking better than you really do
           D        D/B
Than you really do
        D                         D/B
And I walk around the whole next day
         D                            D/B
Feeling like I still got something to say
         G/C                         
But I don't know what it is
                                       D         D/B
And I don't know how to reach you even if I did
     D           D/B
Even if I did
Chorus:
       A                                                   
Do I wanna hear that you forgive me?
      Em                         D/B   
Do I wanna hear you're no good without me?
A                       Em                   
And am I big enough to hear 
           A
that you never even think about me?
                      D              D/B
Why should you ever think about me?
D     D/B
Verse 2:
      D                          D/B
I thought that I'd outgrow this kind of thing
          D                  D/B    
Tell me, aren't we supposed to mature or something?
  G/C                                                  D       D/B   
I haven't found that yet, is this as grown -up as we ever get?
                  D                 D/B
Maybe this is as good as it gets?
Chorus:
A
Years may go by
Em                             D/B
But I think the heart remains a child 
A                        D/B
The mind may grow wise            
           A                                           D        
But the heart just sulks and it whines and remains a child
D/B                           D     D/B    A     Em
I think the heart remains a child
                D        D/B
Why don't you love me? 
               A         Em
Why don't you love me?
                D        D/B       A     Em 
Why don't you love me?
D   D/B   A   Em  repeat to fade
 
I Didn't Know I Was Looking for Love
Tom: G
Intro: G A
( G A)
I was alone thinking I was just fine
I wasn't looking for anyone to be mine
I thought love was just a fabrication
A train that wouldn't stop at my station
Home, alone, that was my consignment
Solitary confinement
So when we met I was skirting around you
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you 
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you, honey
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
Didn't know I was looking for love
Didn't know I was looking for love 
Cause there you stood and I would
Oh I wonder could I say how I felt
And not be misunderstood
A thousand stars came into my system
I never knew how much I had missed them
Slap on the map of my heart you landed
I was coy but you made me candid
And now the planets circle around you
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you 
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
Didn't know I was looking for love
Didn't know I was looking for love 
So we built from here with love the foundation
In a world of tears, one consolation
Now you're here, there's a full brass band
Playing in me like a wonderland
And if you left I would be two-foot small
And every tear would be a waterfall
Soundless, boundless, I surround you
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you 
I just didn't know 
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love (I just didn't know)
Until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love (Oh, I just didn't know)
Didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby
Didn't know I was looking for love
Didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you, baby 
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you
Didn't know I was looking for love
Didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you
I didn't know I was looking for love
Until I found you...

Me and Saint Jack K never had too much to say
It's easy driving with your feet
With some good ol'girl in the passenger seat
Watching the road all day
"Oh honey, what funny things you do say"
While your out of your head, who's making the bed?
Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss
Don't worry your pretty head about this
Go to sleep Saint Jack K
Don't worry your tiny head today
C  C/F     C   C/F

Me and old Bobby D don't get along that famously
A saviour and a seer? Maybe
But he never meant that much to me
Cmaj7            C/D
Sure, I'd love a wild life
    G                      G/E
But every wild man needs a mother or wife
Am7                C/D
The seven seas you roam and whose waiting
Am7                C/D 
The seven seas you roam and whose waiting
Am7                C/D
The seven seas you roam and whose waiting
    G
At home?
Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss
Don't worry your pretty head about this
Go to sleep Saint Jack K
Don't worry your tiny head today

The Night I Heard Caruso Sing
Tom: C
Intro: C C/D C C/D C
C       C/F       F   G
The highlands and the lowlands are
    F               C    C/D C C/D C     
The roots my father knows
C      C/F   F  G       Am/E
The holidays at oban and 
                 F
The towns around Montrose
               C
But even as he sleeps
                G
They're loading bombs into the hills
        Am/E           G            F
And the waters in the lochs can run deep
          Cadd9       G6
But never still
I've thought of having children
But I've gone and changed my mind
It's hard enough to watch the news
Let alone, explain it to a child
To cast your eye 'cross nature
Over fields of rape and corn
And tell him without flinching
Not to fear where he's been born
Then someone sat me down last night
And I heard Caruso sing
He's almost as good as Presley
And if I, only do one thing
I'll sing songs to my father
I'll sing songs to my child
It's time to hold your loved ones
while the chains are loosed
And the world runs wild
F        C  C/D C C/D C  
G        Am/E
F                 C
   And even as we speak
                G
They're loading bombs into a white town
Am/E          G           F
How can we afford to ever sleep
         Cadd9       G6
So sound again 

 

Oxford Street

When I was ten I thought my brother was God
            Asus2
He'd lie in bed, turn on the light with a fishing rod
E           E/Eb                 E        E/Eb
  I learned the names of all his football team
            Asus2             Bsus4
And I still remembered them when I was nineteen
E  E/Eb  E/Eb   Asus2   Bsus4
E           E/Eb          E        E/Eb
Strange the things that I remember still
                Asus2
Shouts from the playground
                    Bsus4
When I was home and ill
   E      E/Eb               E           E/Eb
My sister taught me all that she learned there
             Asus2
When we grew up, we said
             Bsus4
We'd share a flat somewhere
Asus2  Bsus4    Asus2 Bsus4  Asus2  Bsus4        Asus2
When I was seventeen,        London meant Oxford Street
Where I grew up there were no factories 
There was a school and shops and some fields and trees
And rows of houses one by one appeared
I was born in one lived there for eighteen years
Then when I was nineteen
I thought the Humber would be
    E   E/Eb        E      E/Eb           Asus2        Bsus4
The gateway from my little world into the real world
               E    E/Eb           E       E/Eb
But there's no real world, we live side by side
    Asus2            Bsus4
And sometimes collide
When I was seventeen, London meant Oxford Street
It was a little world
I grew up in a little world

And the whole wide world revolves around you

And this you will recall in after years

These days remember
      C        G    Am    C    G    Am    C       
Always remember
You're only two
And I've no wish to worry you
So pay no mind
To those who say the world is unkind
That's just something they've read
And if I could I'd strike them dead
And this you will recall in after years
Though you may weary of this vale of tears
These days remember
Always remember
And honey there's no rush
The world will wait for you to grow up
And this you will recall in after years
Though you may weary of this vale of tears
These early days
Remember always
I hope you never change
I'll call you Jimmy, they call you James
Don't ever change
I'll call you Jimmy, they call you James

You packed your books last week

You break with the past tonight

With plenty of light

    I'll keep a good thought for you
You left us "The Best of Frank"
And on the back you signed your name
"One For My Baby" was underlined again
Now I know the road is very long
But in my head I'll always hold your song
And I'll keep a good thought for you (if you're lonely think of me)

There's a couple you knew quite well
They moved away last spring
And though he can't find suits
They don't miss much of anything
They're raising a baby now
At least that's one gift that this world allows
And I'll keep a good thought for you
And I'll keep a good thought for you
Cause I know the road is very long
But in my head I'll always hold your song
And I'll keep a good thought for you (if you're lonely think of me)
And I'll keep a good thought for you (if you're lonely think of me)

Cmaj7                   Fmaj7
   Facination makes us ask for more 
                  Cmaj7
Than we'd like to know
          Fmaj7
I needn't explain 
            Cmaj7
I think you know
Reaassure me when my hearts 
Not bold enough to bear her name
If you were in my shoes
And scared I would do the same
And though I may ask
There's no need for past details
Although I may laugh alone
My courage fails
Did you know
Em                       Fmaij7
    See how I've changed now
        
My heads so clear
Em
   Still there are some things 
     Fmaij7          Em
That I don't want to hear
                        Fmaij7
There must be so much I know
                Em 
That you cannot forget
                        Fmaij7
And I mustn't wish your life began
           Cmaj7 
The day we met
They say as we go remind you
Of when you were here before
So you talk and tell me
You don't think about it anymore
There is something I know
Hasn't quite been left behind
So I'll ask you once again
To prove that I don't mind
To prove that I don't mind

And still he lies     awake at night
C9             D#7sus2   D7sus2
Restless while every     silence screams
              C9
And still she sleeps 
D#7sus2              D7sus2
   Turned to the wall
G#m7 Gm7                             C9   Aadd9
       He fears the onslaught of his dreams
C9           D#7sus2   
Touches her back
        D7sus2  
But she doesn't stir
C9            D#7sus2    D7sus2  
Then round her hands his fingers close
C9                    D#7sus2            D7sus2
Feeling the ring that cost more than the car

        And still she lies awake at night

Silently stares at the bedroom wall

     It's been a month since he started to paint the home
C9            D#7sus2    D7sus2
And brightly burns the landing light

The baby's screaming down the hall
              C9            
She shuts her eyes

       And she shuts her ears
G#m7 Gm7                             
        She's had it up to here

One Place
Tom: A
A
A summer evening; I walk past the window,
D
Baby's crying; Someone's cooking dinner;
            A
There's laughter on the TV
Someone's learning the violin.
E
How at home, it heals
    D
At times like this, I feel that...
CHORUS:
A                                   D
I would like to live like anybody else
E
In one place
       A                        D
And I could be happy and fulfilled
E
In one place
       A
So I get the map out
And draw a line of where we've been
D
It goes thru sea and sky
A
Twenty-five planes this year
                       D
And it's only July...
           E 
This is not some Bible, like on the road
      D
It's just a song about coming home
And whether...
CHORUS:
A                                   D
I would like to live like anybody else
E
In one place
       A                        D
And I could be happy and fulfilled
E
In one place
       E
And you know that I have found
              D
That I'm happiest weaving from town to town
                         E
And you know Bruce said 
we should keep moving 'round
           D                          A
Maybe we all get too tied down, I don't know
                   D
Hell, I don't know
                      A
I'm happy to be home (Still alive)
                    D
Happy to be home...
E
In the end, if you take care
D
You can be happy or unhappy anywhere
CHORUS:
       A                         D
And I think we maybe all rely too much
E
On one place
A                          D
I know I never would deny the need
E
For one place
       A   
So I get the map out (get the map out)
           D
Yeah I get the map out (get the map out)
       A   
C'mon, get the map out (get the map out)
D
Get the map out (get the map out)
(repeat & fade)
25th of December

Intro B  F#  E

And I see forest Its the 25th of December
       E
And my old man plays the piano for Christmas
             B                   F#   E
He plays the piano for Christmas
          B                  F#
And we're all there, all the Aunties and Uncles
        E
And the angel on top of the tree
            B                   F#  E
Up there on top of the tree
      B           F#               E
And I never, no I never ever realised
      B           F#               E
And I never, no I never ever realised
*same*
Have I enough time  Have I just enough time
To revisit, to go back, to return
To open my mouth again
And say something different this time
And I see bags of newspaper and a car in the carport
and you're a grown up and still unsure
And I'm thirty and I don't know nothing anymore
And I never, no I never ever realised
And I never, no I never ever realised
*solo*
C#m   E    B
C#m   E    B
C#m   E (hold)
*same as other verses*
And I'm sitting, sitting at the top of the stairs
And you're crying out by the towpath but the river
With all the swans and people walking by
And all of a sudden I'm struck with an urge to 
Unlock a door with a key thats too big for my hands
and I drop it and it falls at your feet
Come on, come on its there at your feet
      B           F#               E
And I never, no I never ever realised
E
Come on, come on its there at your feet
     
      B           F#
And I never, no I never ever realised
E
Come on, come on its there at your feet
