Verse 1:
Em    G     
  The car crunches gravel
D         A
  And the wind licks at you
Em     G
  This dark spell you're under
D         A
  Has you dumbstruck by the gate
Verse 2:
Em       G
  And it hurts every muscle
D         A  
  Just to walk back to the house
Em         G
  Now this home that you both made
D          A
  It looks haunted from the yard
Chorus:
Em        G                  D
  You can hear those distant bells
        A                  Em
And you know they'll never leave
               G                D
It's like your church is crying out
         A                 Em
Like the wolf calls to her young
Verse 3:
          G
  And the dark never enters
D        A
  But it also never leaves
Em         G
  And this spark that he gave you
D            A
  Is just an ember all but out
Verse 4:
Em        G
  If he'd one eye on the exit
D        A
  Oh you never would have known
Em         G
  Until he drove off in the darkness
D           A
  Like some slowly fading song
Chorus:
Em        G                  D
  You can hear those distant bells
        A                  Em
And you know they'll never leave
               G                D
It's like your church is crying out
         A                 Em
Like the wolf calls to her young
        G                  D
You can hear those distant bells
        A                  Em
And you know they'll never leave
               G                D
It's like your church is crying out
         A                 Em
Like the wolf calls to her young

It's the price I guess

For the lies I've told
F                      G               Am   C
That the truth it, no longer thrills me

When it's all we have

Have we put these childish things away?

New York 
Tom: F
Verse:
   F               Dm
If you were here beside me
  C               Bb 
Instead of in New York
       F                Dm        C     Bb 
If the curve of you was curved on me 
    F                Dm
I'd tell you that I loved you 
  C             Bb
Before I even knew you 
        F                Dm             C    Bb
Cause I loved the simple thought of you 
       F                Dm
If our hearts are never broken
             C                 Bb 
Well there's no joy in the mending 
        F                     Dm           C    Bb      
There's so much this hurt can teach us both
               F                    Dm
Though there's distance and there's silence
     C                     Bb 
Your words have never left me 
            F                 Dm        C    Bb
They're the prayer that I say every day. 
Chorus:
     Bb       C         Dm         F
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
    Bb        C
The lone neon nights
        Dm          F
And the ache of the ocean
        Bb             C           Dm     F 
And the fire that was starting to spark 
Bb        C             Dm           F
I miss it all, from the love to the lightning
        Bb              C        Dm     F 
And the lack of it snaps, me in two 
Verse:
   F             Dm 
If you were here beside me
   C              Bb 
Instead of in New York 
       F                   Dm          C     Bb
Of the arms you said you'd never leave 
    F                  Dm
I'd tell you that it's simple
           C          Bb 
And it was only ever us
         F                 Dm       C     Bb 
There is nowhere else that I belong
Chorus:
     Bb       C          Dm        F
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
     
     Bb        C 
The lone neon nights
        Dm          F
And the ache of the ocean 
        Bb            C           Dm      F
And the fire that was starting to spark 
Bb        C            Dm           F
I miss it all from the love to the lightning 
          Bb          C         Dm     F  
And the lack of it snaps, me in two
     Bb        C 
Just give me a sign 
           Dm          F
There's an end and a beginning
       Bb          Dm             C     F 
To the quiet chaos driving me mad 
     Bb        C 
The lone neon nights
        Dm          F
And the want of the ocean 
        Bb            C           Dm      F
And the fire that was starting to go out

A hundred million suns and stars

Dark Roman Wine 
Tom: G
G      D           Em           C  
I will hang on the hook of your splender
G      D              Em        C
As the night roles us up in its arms
G       D              Em              C
And the square of your thumbs and your fingers
G      D          Em           C
Is the blanket of sky thats so warm
G           D          Em             C
I know it's late but i can't help but think it
G        D          Em            C
That the day hasn't shown all its cards
G        D         Em           C
Now it's up to the stars or the ocean
G       D           Em           C
Lets not retrace our steps to the car

Em                  C
Picking out all the stars that we like between
G          C
Finger and thumb
Em               C            
You laugh as you pass me the night as if it's
G              C
Too fragile to hold
Em            C
And I hold so close to my chest with your
G           C
Hands in my hands
Em              C
You say this is just how we rest until
G              C
Light turns to sound

G        D           Em             C
Now your eyelids they faint and they shiver
G        D            Em           C
Like the wings of the last bird to leave
G       D              Em           C
For the south, for the heat, for no reason
G  D           Em            C      
At all just to fly for sheer joy
G   D               Em        C    
The wind shakes the brances above us
G       D              Em            C
And the car shakes the ground at our backs
G       D          Em          C
But the dark roman wine in our blood streams
G         D           Em           C
Makes the cold just a word, just a sound

Em                  C
Picking out all the stars that we like between
G          C
Finger and thumb
Em               C            
You laugh as you pass me the night as if it's
G              C
Too fragile to hold
Em            C
And I hold so close to my chest with your
G           C
Hands in my hands
Em              C
You say this is just how we rest until

Your just as well being here

And out amongst
G                         F
The frozen ponds and parks

I understand

The clarity, the solitude

But I'm beginning to think
                F
I said too much
        Am     G        F
My words don't turn you on
        Am     G          F
Your here less than your gone
     Am           G            F
The spark still fights the worst
             Am    G           F
Where's the hunger wheres the thirst
        C
Anymore
I felt the fight
I felt the good
So I'm awake
Its not the dream
I hope it was the last
Your cubicles, your tentacles
Will still find you
You cant hide from all the weight and wear
My words dont turn you on
Your here less then your gone
The spark still fights the worst
Where's the hunger wheres the thirst
Anymore
Anymore(x5)

           Am         F         G 
I'll sing it one last time for you
        Am     F        G
Then we really have to go
               Am     F            G
You've been the only thing that's right
            Am    G
In all i've done.
   
         Am      F       G
And I can barely look at you
          Am      F      G
But every single time I do
          Am      F       G
I know we'll make it anywhere
           Am    G 
Away from here
CHORUS:
C
Light up, Light up
          G
As if you have a choice 
                   Am
Even if you cannot hear my voice
                         F
I'll be right beside you dear
C
Louder, louder
              G
And we'll run for our lives
                    Am
I can hardly speak I understand
                                  F
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Am/G/Am/G
 
           Am        F          G
To think I might not see those eyes
            Am        F       G 
It makes it so hard not to cry
           Am       F       G
And as we say our long goodbyes
      Am      G
I nearly do.
CHORUS:
C
Light up, light up
          G
As if you have a choice
                   Am
Even if you cannot hear my voice
                         F
I'll be right beside you dear
C
Have heart my dear
               G
We're bound to be afraid
                      Am
Even if it's just for a few days
                        F
Making up for all this mess.
CHORUS:
C
Light up, Light up
          G
As if you have a choice 
                   Am
Even if you cannot hear my voice
                         F
I'll be right beside you dear
Crack The Shutters

Intro: Csus2 C FM7sus2 Fmaj7 FM7sus2 
Csus2                  C
 You cool you bed-warm hands down
       FM7sus2          Fmaj7 FM7sus2 
 On the broken radiator
Csus2                      C
 And when you laid them freezin' on me
   FM7sus2                       Fmaj7 FM7sus2 
 A mumble can you wake me later
Csus2                           C
 But I don't really want you to stop
         FM7sus2                        Fmaj7 FM7sus2 
 And you know it so it doesn't stop you
Csus2                       C          FM7sus2 
 And runs you hands from my neck to my chest
Chorus:
          C                            Cadd9                     Fmaj7
Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day
         Am                           G6                    Fmaj7    
And just watch you as the rays tangle up around you face and body
C                             Cadd9                   Fmaj7
I could sit for hours finding new ways to be odd each minute
          Am                          G6                    Fmaj7    
Cause the daylight seems to want you just as much as I want you
Csus2                        C
 It's been minutes it's been days
          FM7sus2                 Fmaj7 FM7sus2 
 It's been all all I will remember
Csus2               C
 Happy lost in your hair 
         FM7sus2                 Fmaj7 FM7sus2 
 And the cold side of the pillow
Csus2             C
 Your hills and valleys 
     FM7sus2                       Fmaj7 FM7sus2
 Are mapped by my intrepid fingers
Csus2           C          FM7sus2
 And in a naked slumber, I dream of this again

Gsus4                   F
 Two weeks later like a surplus reprieve
Gsus4                         F
 I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve
Gsus4                          F
 I wound it round and round my finger so tight
Gsus4                      F
 It turned to purple and a pulse formed in sight
C
Gsus4                         F
 And I knew the beat cause it marched your own beat
Gsus4                           F
 I still remember that from our chest to chest then feet to feet
Gsus4                        F
 The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush
Gsus4                     F
 Of oven airplanes and of distant car points
Chorus:
C                       Gsus4          F
 A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry
C                                Gsus4        F
 A pulse, you're pulse, it's the only thing I can remember
C                          Gsus4          F
 I break, you don't, I was always set to self-destruct, though
C                        Gsus4                     F
 The fire, the fire, the cracks and the barks like primal music
Gsus4                           F
 I set I knew the beat cause it marched your own beat
Gsus4                     F
 It's become my engine my own source of heat
Gsus4                    F
 I see between us oh the amplifies the sound waves
Gsus4                      F
 And every hum and echo in crash paints my cave
Chorus
C                    Gsus4    F
 La la la la la,  la la la la la
C                    Gsus4    F

Warmer Climate 
Tom: A
Intro: [A] [A+] [Cmaj7] [G]
[A]         [A+]     [Cmaj7]
Tell me if I'm going crazy
      [G]               [A] 
But everything you said amazed me
[A+]                     [Cmaj7] 
It seems too easy on the ear
   [G]                     [A]
To be something I should adhere to
[A+]                      [Cmaj7]
You told me to just simply wander
[G]                     [A]
Rather than take shelter under
[A+]                    [Cmaj7]
And open my heart to the thought that
[G]                         [A]
Life is something you're not caught at
Too easy to get lost in progress
I didn't see you there in that dress
And suddenly the world seems so small
We'd fit it all inside out front hall
And Edison would spin in his grave
To ever see the light that you gave
Don't wanna take it nice and slow here
Don't wanna waste a minute more dear
[Cmaj7]           [G]             [A]
The universe just vanished out of sight
[Cmaj7]                       [G]                 [A]
And all the stars collapsed behind the pitch black night
[Cmaj7]                   [G]             [A]
And I can barely see your face in front of mine
[Cmaj7]                    [G]             [A]
But it is knowing you are there that makes me fine
Maybe it's the warmer climate
Maybe I'm a smarter primate
Maybe it's the beer I'm drinking
Maybe I've stopped over thinking
Baby you're the words and chapters
The sweetness in the morning after
You are the cry that turns to laughter
You're the hope that ends disaster
[Cmaj7]           [G]             [A]
The universe just vanished out of sight
[Cmaj7]                       [G]                 [A]
And all the stars collapsed behind the pitch black night
[Cmaj7]                   [G]             [A]
And I can barely see your face in front of mine
[Cmaj7]                    [G]             [A]
But it is knowing you are there that makes me fine

[Cmaj7]        [G]             [A]
The universe is just an empty space
[Cmaj7]                [G]             [A]
And all the stars can disappear without a trace
[Cmaj7]                   [G]          [A]
I'm so glad that this has taken me so long
[Cmaj7]                      [G]           [A]
'Cause it's the journey that made me so strong
Shut Your Eyes

Shut your eyes and think of somewhere 
Somewhere cold and caked in snow 
By the fire we break the quiet 
Learn to wear eachother well

Just close your eyes until 
      Csus2
You can imagine this place
Yeah, our secret space at will 
Shut your eyes, I spin the big chair 
And you'll feel dizzy, light and free 
And falling gently on the cushion 
You can come and sing to me 
             Bb                 Gm
And when the worrying starts to hurt 
        Csus2                     Bbsus2

We don't need anything, or anyone.
    A			E
If I lay here, if I just lay here
		F#m7			    A
Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
A              E	   F#m7           A
I don't quite know how to say how I feel

Those three words, I said too much, but not enough.

Forget what we're told, before we get too old

Let's waste time, chasing cars, around our heads.

I need your grace to remind me, to find my own.

All that I am, all that I ever was

I don't know where, confused about how as well

just know that these things will never change for us at all.

Would you lie with me, and just forget the world.

Tom: D
 D                G
This could be the very minute 
I'm aware I'm alive 
All these places feel like home 
 D                G
With a name I'd never chosen 
I can make my first steps 
As a child of 25 
 D                        A         G
This is the straw, final straw in the 
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you 
Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean 
I didn't enjoy it at the time 
 D                 G
You're the only thing that I love 
It scares me more every day 
On my knees I think clearer 
 D                  G
Goodness I saw it coming 
Or at least I'll claim I did 
But in truth I'm lost for words 
 D                         A         G
What have I done it's too late for that 
What have become truth is nothing yet 
A simple mistake starts the hardest time 
I promise I'll do anything you ask..this time
Finish Line

Intro: C, Am, G, F
C          Am       G              F
     The earth is warm next to my ear
C        Am    G                  F
     Insects noise is all that I hear
C          Am          G              F
     A magic trick makes the world disappear
C          Am       G                               F
     The skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear
G                         Am              F
A distant motorcade and suddenly there's joy
G                              Am            F
The snow and tickertape blurs all my senses numb
G                                 Am             F
It's like the finish line where everything just ends
G                           Am             F
The crack of radios seems close enough to touch
C          Am       G              F
      Cold water, cleaning my wounds
C          Am       G              F
      A side parade, with a single balloon
C          Am       G              F
      I'm done with this, I'm counting to ten
C          Am       G              F
      Blue as seas, running to them
G                         Am              F
I feel like I am watching everything from space
G                       Am            F
And in a minute I hear my name and I wake
G                            Am                   F
I think the finish line's a good place we could start
G                            Am                  F
Take a deep breath, take in all that you could want

Why would I sabotage 
G     F      Eb         Bb 
The best thing that I have 
G     F      Eb         Bb 
Well, it makes it easier to know

Exactly what I want with my...

Gotta be more than hoping it's right

Tom: E
Intro: E / A / C#m / B
Verse 1:
E
I want something 
A                     C#m
That's purer than the water 
B
Like we were 
E
It's not there now 
A               C#m
Ineloquence and anger 
B
Are all we have 
E
Like Saturn's rings 
A            C#m     
An icy loop around me 
B
Too hard to hold 
E
Lash out first 
A                     C#m
At all the things we don't like 
B
Or understand 
Chorus:
                      C#m
And it's beginning to get to me 
                        B
That I know more of the stars and sea 
                    A     
Than I do of what's in your head 
                   E
Barely touching in our cold bed 
                     C#m 
Are you beginning to get get my point 
                             B
They're always fighting with aching joints 
                       A
It's doing nothing but tire us out 
                       E
No one knows what this fight's about 
Verse 2:
E
The answer phone 
A                    C#m
The lonely sound of your voice 
B
Frozen in time 
E
I only need 
A                    C#m
The compass that you gave me 
B
To guide me on 
                      C#m
And it's beginning to get to me 
                        B
That I know more of the stars and sea 
                    A
Than I do of what's in your head 
                   E
Barely touching in our cold bed 
                     C#m
Are you beginning to get my point 
                             B
They're always fighting with aching joints 
                       A
It's doing nothing but tire us out 
                       E 
No one knows what this fight's about 
                      C#m
It's so thrilling but also wrong 
                             B 
Don't have to prove that you are so strong 
                    A
Cos I can carry you on my back 
             E
After our enemies attack 
                    C#m
I tried to tell you before I left 
                    B
But I was screaming under my breath 
                            A
You are the only thing that makes sense 
                     E
Just ignore all this present tense 
E / B / C#m / A
E                     B
We need to feel breathless with love 
    C#m                    A 
And not collapse under its weight 
    E               B
I'm gasping for the air to fill 
   C#m                        A
My lungs with everything I've lost 
   E                  B
We need to feel breathless with love 
    C#m                    A
And not collapse under its weight 
    E               B
I'm gasping for the air to fill 
    C#m                       A
My lungs with everything I've lost

Capo 4
Verse 1
A                                   C
Please don't let this turn into something it's not
G                       F
I can only give you everything I've got
A                          C
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
G                                 F
but I still love you more than anyone else could
A                                   C
All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight
G                                       F
Is 'it could take my whole damn life to make this right'
A                                         C
This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long
G                                    F
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong
Chorus
Am                   C              F                         
   G
The last girl in the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
Am                 C               F                   G
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
Am                       C                    F
The weight of water, the way you taught me to look past everything I had
G
ever learned
Am                    C              F                   G
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love
Verse 2
A                                      C
We have got through so much worse than this before
G                                      F
What's so different this time that you can't ignore?
A                                    C
You say it is much more than just my last mistake
G                                       F
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes
Chorus

Set The Fire To The Third Bar 
Tom: Bm
Intro: Bm	A	G x2
Bm		A		G
I find the map and draw a straight line
Bm		A		G
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
Bm		A		G
The distance from me to where you'd be
Bm		A		G
It's only finger-lengths that I see
Bm		A		G
I touch the place where I'd find your face
Bm		A		G
My fingers in creases of distant dark places
Bm		A		G
I hang my coat up in the first bar
Bm		A		G
There is no peace that I've felt so far
Bm		A		G
The laughter penetrates my silence
Bm		A		G
As drunken men find flaws in science
Bm		A		G
Their words mostly noises
Bm		A		G
Ghosts with just voices
Bm		A		G
Your words in my memory
Bm		A		G
Are like music to me
Bm			D	
I'm miles from where you are,
A			G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm			D
I pray that something picks me up
A			Cadd9
And sets me down in your warm arms
Bm		A		G
After I have travelled so far
Bm		A		G
We'd set the fire to the third bar
Bm		A		G
We'd share each other like an island
Bm		A		G
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
Bm		A		G
And dreaming pink wildfire
Bm		A		G
The last place we left off
Bm		A		G
Your soft skin is weeping
Bm		A		G
A joy you can't keep it
Bm			D
I'm miles from where you are,
A			G
I lay down on the cold ground
Bm			D
And I pray that something picks me up
A			Cadd9
and sets me down in your warm arms

The perfect words never crossed my mind
                 Db5        Gbsus2    Ab4    Gbsus2
'cause there was nothing in there but you
       Db5   Gbsus2      Bbm7          Ab4
I felt every ounce of me screaming out
        Db5       Gbsus2          Ab4    Gbsus2
But the sound was trapped deep in me
Db5   Gbsus2      Bbm7            Ab4
All I wanted just sped right past me
            Db5    Gbsus2      Ab4    Gbsus2
While I was rooted fast to the earth
  Db5      Gbsus2           Bbm7     Ab4
I could be stuck here for a thousand years

Without your arms to drag me out

  All this fear falls away to leave me naked

    Db5    Gbsus2 Ab4  Gbsus2
You are my signal fire

The only resolution and the only joy
       Db5            Gbsus2              Ab4  Gbsus2
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes

I broke into your house last night,

And left a note at your bedside,
D            C              Am     G
I'm far too shy to speak to you at school,

You leave me numb and i'm not sure why,

Than push my limbs out towards you out there,
D          C                  Am     G
My heart is bursting in your perfect eyes,
D          C              Am     G
As blue as oceans and as pure as skies,
F                   G                  D
I struggle for the words and then give up,
F                   G                D
My heads up with the birds on the t-hut,
F                   G              D
A little piece of mind that i know better,
F                   G             D
Than the plain disgrace of all my letters,
Bridge
D          C         Am          G
After that the floodgates opened up,
D             C              Am    G
And i fell in love with everyone i saw,
D                 C              Am  G
Please take your time i'm not in any rush,
D          C            Am   G
And its in everything I ever write
F               G              D
Its not as if i need the extra weight,
F                   G               D
Confused enough by life so thanks a lot,
F                 G            D
Lonely written words for company,
F                        G               D
Just raise the roof this once and follow me,
Bridge(x4)

 

Tiny Little Fractures 
Tom: A
A
Is there a place I can go?
D            G
Is there a way to get me there?
A
If I've forgotten what to say
D            G
It's because all words are dust.
A
If this is really what you think,
D             G
How come you won't look me in the eye?
A
All this crying in your sleep
D            G
As I lie awake beside
A         D         G
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah.
A         D         G
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah.
A         D         G
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah. 
A         D         G
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah. 
A
Is there a t-shirt I can wear?
D                G
Cause I'm soaking,
Look at me.
A
What do you mean I don't love you?
D             G
I am standing here aren't I?
A
Maybe you thought of it first.
D         G
Maybe I get all the praise.
A
Is there a place I can go?
D         G
Is there a way to get me there?
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah.
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah.

 

You Could Be Happy
Tom: F
                F       C         Bb
You could be happy and I won't know
                           F        C        Bb
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
                             F    C          Bb
And all the things that I wish I had not said
                               F      C       Bb
Are played on lips 'til it's madness in my head
                     Gm       F        Bb    
Is it too late to remind you how we were?
                           Gm          F      Bb
But not our last days of silent, screaming blur
                  Gm       F         Bb
Most of what I remember makes me sure
                                   F    C         Bb
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
                F       C        Bb
You could be happy, I hope you are
                      F        C       Bb
You made me happier than I'd been by far
                    F       C        Bb
Somehow everything I own smells of you
                      F          C         Bb
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

                         Gm     F     Bb
Do the things that you always wanted to
                           Gm            F            Bb
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
                     Gm       F       Bb
More than anything I want to see you go
                 F            C          Bb
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world  
Wow 
Tom: G#m
G#m				A	E
Don't be scared of anything at all
G#m				A	E
Everything we have is all we need
G#m		 			 A		E
All the spotlights streaming into angry skies
G#m					A	  E
Means there's no one watching as we leave
C#m
Say the first thing that
Dsus2					E
Comes into your mind when you see me
C#m						Dsus2
If it looks like it works and it feels like it works
E
Then it works
C#m
With the sun on your face
Dsus2					E
All these worries will soon disappear
Just follow me now
G#m				A	  E
I find careful patterns in the snow
G#m		  			   A		  E
It seems you did come round but changed your mind
G#m					A	E
If you'd just take ten more steps to me
G#m		  A		E
I won't ever ask you again
C#m				Dsus2			    E
Just because I couldn't say doesn't make me a liar
C#m				  Dsus2
I noticed a change in the tone of your voice
   E
It's so clear
C#m
My role in this mess
	 Dsus2			E
Is not something that I can be proud of
But it's all going to change

A welcome arrow through the heart

Under your skin feels like home 
E        A                E        A
Electric shocks on aching bones 
Bridge

A frightening magic I cling to
