Perifery 
Tom: G
Intro: G   D x 3

G     D          G      D
Oh, the periphery
G     D          G      D
They throw good parties there
G     D          G      D
Those peripheral idiots
G     D          G      D
Always have a bite to bear

A            D
Bear it if you can
A            D
If you really want to

G     D          G      D
Go to the periphery
G     D          G      D
Have them celebrate your name
G     D          G      D
Have them forge you a pedigree and then you'll be
G     D          G      D
Left to run the races lame

A            D
Run it if you want
A            D
If you think it's worth it
     G   D   Em  
But not with me

[Chorus]
 Bm                  C
Cause I don't appreciate
G   Bm  Em   
People who
Bm           C
Don't appreciate
G         Bm                  Em      C
All that loving must've been lackin' something
    Em     Bm             Em          G
If I got bored tryin' to figure you out
     G       Bm     
You let me down
Cm                          G
I don't even like you anymore at all

{Continues as for first verse and chorus}

G     D          G      D
Oh, the periphery
G     D          G      D
I lost another one there
G     D          G      D
He found a prettier girl than me
G     D          G      D
With a more even-tempered air

A                       D
And if he wants her, he should get her
A                        D
Cause I think he thinks she's worth it
G     D          G      D
And maybe they'll move from the periphery
G     D          G      D
By themselves, or on a plot of land
G     D          G      D
And I'll care in a different capacity, I'll just be
G     D          G      D
Hoping he makes a good family man
A                       D
And if he finds himself yearning
A                       D
For his throne on the silly side
A                       D
Nothing wrong as long as he's learning
A                       D
Besides, you can take it up with his brethren
D                       G   D   Em   
Or with his bride, just not with me

[Chorus]
Bm                  C
Cause I don't appreciate
G   Bm  Em   
People who
Bm           C
Don't appreciate
G         Bm                  Em      C
All that loving must've been lackin' something
    Em     Bm             Em          G
If I got bored tryin' to figure you out
     G       Bm     
You let me down
Cm                          G
I don't even like you anymore at all
G   D     G    D x 3

[Extro]
G   D     G    D
Oh,      the periphery
G   D     G    D
Oh,      the periphery
G   D     G    D
Oh,      the periphery
G   D     G    D
Oh,      the periphery
 
G   D     G    D (repeat through the outro, steady beat, vocals with expression)
Stole you away
Away, away
Stole you away, away
(percussion to fade)

Daredevil 
Tom: C
C        E      F          C
  I guess I just must be a daredevil
Bb          Am           G     F       E
I don't feel anything until I smash it up
      C                      E
I'm caught on the cold, caught on the hot
F                 C
Not so with the warmer lot
    Bb              Am
And all I want is a confidant
    G        F       E
To help me laugh it off
     Am
And don't let me ruin me
E
I may need a chaperone
C           E
Say I'm an airplane
           F                   C
And the gashes I got from my heartbreak
           Bb                     Am
Make the slots and the flaps upon my wing
       G            F       E
And I use them to give me lip
    C  
Hip hip for the lift
E                F
Hip hip for the drag
             C        Bb
I want them all in my bag
            Am                G        F     E
Oh give me anything and I'll turn it into a gift
     Am
But don't let me ruin me
E
I may need a chaperone
A
Seek me out
A         A         A        A      E
Look at, look at, look at, look at me
E
I'm all the fishes in the sea
A
Wake me up
A          A        A               A
Give me, give me, give me what you got
                       A
In your mind, in the middle of the night
C    E          F C 
Maybe you let me look out for you
Bb                Am
   Protect what I found in you
     G     F       E
And never let it starve
C                E
   Then that way, you let me stay
F                 C
    Skirt in my skirt like I want to
Bb                 Am                 G        F    E
    And I will try hard to hold onto you with open arms
    Am
But don't let me ruin me
E
I may need a chaperone
Why Try To Change Me Now 
Tom: Cm
Cm7      F7           Bbmaj7      G9
I'm sentimental, so I walk in the rain
Cm7           F7b9        Dm7b5  G+7 Cm7
I've got some habits even I can't explain
      Cm7b5         Dm7             Dbdim7
Could start for the corner, turn up in Spain
    Cm7        F13   Dm7 G7b9
But why try to change me now
Cm7       F7                 Bbmaj7      G9
I sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore
Cm7       F7b9             Dm7b5 G+7   Cm7
Cigarette ashes; there they go on the floor
     Cm7b5   Dm7                          Dbdim7
I'll go away weekends, leave my keys in the door
    Cm7        F13   Dm7 G7b9
But why try to change me now
Gm7         F#m7       Fm7    Bb7        Eb6/9          C+7     Fm7 Bb9
Why can't I be more conventional, People talk, and they stare So I try 
Eb6/9      Am7   Ab7 
But that's not for me
Gm7           C7
Cause I can't see 
Fmaj7       Dm7  Gm7   C7 
My kind of crazy world
Cm7 F7        Bm7
Go passing me by
Cm7           F7              Bbmaj7         G9
So let people wonder, let 'em laugh, let 'em frown
Cm7           F7b9              Dm7b5         G+7
You know I'll love you till the moon's upside down
Cm7       Ab9            Dm7         Dbdim7
Don't you remember I was always your clown
Cm7        F13       Bb6 
Why try to change me now
O Sailor 
Tom: Gm
Gm                  F
 I'm undecided about you again
Gm                      C
 Mightn't be right that you're not here
Cm                          Dm
 It's double-sided 'cause I ruined it all
         Dmaj7                                Bb   Bb7
-But also saved myself by never believing you, Dear
Everything good I deem too good to be true
Everything else is just a bore
Everything I have to look forward to
Has a pretty painful and very imposing before
Chorus: (twice)
Dm         Am              Em                  Em-Ebm-Dm
O' sailor why'd you do it -What'd you do that for?
Dm              Am            G
Saying there's nothing to it -And lettin' it go by the boards
I have too been playing with fifty-two cards
-Just 'cause I play so far from my vest
Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard
What could I do, but spend my best
[Chorus (twice)]
Ab    Ab/F                      C/D
  And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees
Ab            Ab/F                    Cm
 All the other stuff tired itself out first, not me
Ab                Ab/F                   C/D
 And in its wake, appeared the touch and call of a different breed
Eb                    Cm               D                 Dm
One who set to get me wise and got me there and then, got me
        
And what a thing to know what could be instead
Oh, what a blessed curse; to see
It took the agenda from its place in my bed
Made a merry paramour of me
[Chorus once]
Dm         Am              Em                   Em-Ebm-Dm
O' sailor why'd you do it -What'd you do that for
Dm              Am         G
Giving me eyes to view it -As it goes by the boards
Tymps The Sick In The Head Song 
Tom: Bbm
Intro: Bbm Ab F# Gm D
       Bbm Ab F# Gm D
		 Bbm				    Ab
Those boon times went bust -My feet of clay, they dried to dust
F#
The red isn't the red we painted
Gm        D
It's just rust
Bbm				                Ab
And that signature thing -That used to bring a following
F#                Gm       D
I have trouble now, even remembering
Gm
So why did I kiss him so hard late last Friday night
   			  Bb
And keep on letting him change all my plans
Eb
I'm either so sick in the head
F
I need to be bled dry, to quit
Bm		           C 	            Gm  D        Gm
Or I just really used to love him -I sure hope   that's it
		 Bbm			    Ab
I knew that to keep in touch would do me deep in dutch
F#                                       
'Cause it isn't the rush of remembering, 
Gm        D
It’s just mush
Bbm				          Ab
And that signature thing is only growing harrowing
F#                            Gm       D
I should have no trouble now to keep from following
Gm
So why did I kiss him so hard late last Friday night
   			  Bb
And keep on letting him change all my plans
Eb
I'm either so sick in the head
F
I need to be bled dry, to quit
Bm		           C 	            Gm  D        Gm
Or I just really used to love him -I sure hope   that's it
A Mistake 
Tom: Em
Em        A7              Em        A7
I'm gonna make a mistake- I'm gonna do it on purpose
C7        F7         Em
I'm gonna waste my time
Em       A7              Em      A7
'Cuz I'm full as a tick, and I'm scratching at the surface
C7        F7       Em
And what I find is mine
Gm           Eb     Gm          
And when the day is done, and I look back
Eb              Cm         F7
And the fact is I had fun, fumbling around
Gm      Eb        Gm           
All the advice I shunned, and I ran
Eb                        Cm                  F7
Where they told me not to run, but I sure Had fun, so
Em        A7                Em        A7
I'm gonna f*** it up again, I'm gonna do another detour
C7 F7        Em
Unpave my path
Em         A7                Em      A7
And if you wanna make sense, Whatcha looking at me for
C7     F7       Em
I'm no good at math
Gm  Eb             Gm     
And when I find my way back,
Eb                 Cm             F7
The fact is I just may stay, or I may not
Gm      Eb           Gm     Eb                
I've acquired quite a taste for a well-made
   Cm                     F7
mistake, I wanna make a mistake why can't I make a mistake?
Em A7 Em A7 G D
Em  Eb     G
I'm always doing what I think I should
Em     Eb     G
Almost always doing everybody good
Em Eb G C Bb7 B7
Why-
Em A7 Em A7 C7 F7 Em A7 Em A7 C7 F7 Em B7
Gm   Eb                 Gm      
Do I wanna do right, of course but
     Eb                    Cm        F7
Do I really wanna feel I'm forced to answer you, hell no
Gm      Eb           Gm     Eb                
I've acquired quite a taste for a well-made

Almost always doing everybody good
Em Eb G C Bb7 B7
Why-
To Your Love 
Tom: Em
Em             F
Here's another speech you wish I'd swallow
Em              F
Another cue for you to fold your ears
Em               F
Another train of thought too hard to follow
E                               F
Chugging along to the song that belongs to the shifting of gears
Fm7               C
Please forgive me for my distance
Fm7                    C
The pain is evident in my existence
Fm7            C
Please forgive for my distance
Fm7                      C7
The shame is manifest in my resistance
Fm      Cmaj7 C7 Fm          Cmaj7 C7 Fm          Cmaj7 C7 Fm
To your lo-o-o-o-ve, to your lo-o-o-o-ve, to your lo-o-o-o-ve
(Verses 3 and 4 are exactly the same as verses 1 and 2 and the chorus is also the same)
I would've warned you, but really, what's the point?
Caution could but rarely ever helps
Don't be down when my demeanor tends to disappoint
It's hard enough even trying to be civil to myself
Please forgive me for my distance
The pain is evident in my existence
Please forgive for my distance
The shame is manifest in my resistance
To your love, to your love, to your love
Fm7                        C
My derring-do allows me to dance the rigadoon around you
Fm7                 C                      Fm7                  C7
But by the time I'm close to you, I lose my desideratum and now you, so
now you 
(Verse 5 is the same as previous verses. Chorus is also the same)
Have it, so baby tell me what's the word?
Am I your gal, or should I get out of town?
I just need to be reassured
Do you just deal it out, or can you deal with
What I lay down?
Please forgive me, for my distance
The pain is evident in my existence
Please forgive me for my distance
The shame is manifest in my resistance
To your love, to your love, to your love
Never Is A Promise
Tom: Gm 
Intro: Am  G  F  C  Gm  F  C  Am  G  F  C  Gm  F  C
 Gm              F          Gm        F
 You'll never see the courage I know
 Gm          F                     Gm                        F
 Its colors' richness won't appear within your view
 E            Dm     E                 Dm
 I'll never glow - the way that you glow
 Gm                  F                     E                               
 Dm
 Your presence dominates the judgments made on you
 Am            G                          F        C
 But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
 Am                     G            F                     C
 The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
 Am             G                          F                          C
 My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights
 F                             Dm                         Am           C
 I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you
 C                    F                 Am                G
 You'll say you understand, but you don't understand

 My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights
 F                           Dm                      C
 I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you
