every day
something strange
I can't explain
happens to me
often I
am called by name
to clean up
aisle 13
C G E [Instrumental part 3x first half]
no one knows cuz no one wants to
know what they might find
no one sees cuz no one wants to
C G E C D [Instrumental part second half]
see what's in their mind
G E 3x
G [E C D]
don't be all
so all afraid
everyone
has weird dreams
one day I'll
come home to find you
covered with ants
cuz you're so sweet
no one knows cuz no one wants to
know what they might find
no one sees cuz no one wants to
see what's in their mind

HINDSIGHT
---------
A
A E
hindsight's giving me
D A A4 A
too much memory
D A A4 A
there's too much never seen
E
but it's always there
D
cuz it's everywhere
taking my own advice
worked out for me nice
but now I come to find
the tricks we play
with human brains
E D*
they don't want to think about the other side
is that grass just greener cause it's fake
F#m
cuz that's all that we've been told
E
since we were five years old
D D**
is that all we'll ever know
D* D**

E-----------------| E --------------------------------|
hindsight brings me down
it keeps me on the ground
and though I'm never proud
I wouldn't dare
if you weren't there
the thing with gettin' up
feels like giving up
feels like not enough
you eat a crumb
and waste a loaf
they don't want to talk about the other side
where the grass was greener than they said
cuz this doesn't bring to mind
what I'd expect to find
they must be color blind
Instrumental like verse
A E D
what about canada
A
what about canada
E
this paradise
D
of pines and ice
morning comes in freight ships while you're sleeping
bad into ideas was no surprise
we'll wait till the wild has rights
then never lock doors at night
and kiss all those wars goodbye
D~

NOWHERE LULLABY
---------------
C a G 2x
C a G
well the stakes of the game seemed fine
till you lost after all this time
has to make you cry
but you don't and you don't know why
d a G
trying not to solve this
doesn't mean it's not that bad
F(maj7)
and everyone gets through the night
C
and everyone wakes up all right
and the fear you feel will pass
then a calmness that will last
e F
we will learn to drift off fast
C a G
another nowhere lullaby
you can rest or you can try
F(maj7) G a
and this waste it shines in every way
F(maj7) a G
yeah this waste it shines in every way
C a G 2x
you make me laugh every single day
and you hardly make me cry
made fifteen years fly by
still here and I don't know why
has it been that long
where's the time and the table gone
hope it's longer than that now
don't forget we don't know how
and every one gets feeling down
everybody understands
we're all doing what we can
another nowhere lullaby
you can rest or you can try
and this waste it shines in every way
yeah this waste it shines in every way

GOOD OL' BOREDOM

Just a little alternative, tuning is one step down.
This way it's easier to play the little bass riff, if you want to.

break out the water
D C G
kinda celebrate
welcome back good old boredom
not so bad seems so great
D C G 2x
it's nice that it's not that exciting
after all we've been through
when nothing hurts, no one's dying
most my dreams have come true
Bb G
and we see are wrongs to right
they're everywhere, everywhere
Bb G
the truth is rolling out of sight
and out of mind, out of mind
C D#
and all we want is anything
C
that'll take our minds
D#
off this nonstop anxiety
for a time
D C G...
inside my mind incessant chatter
when will these brain cells cut me some slack
maybe I'm not smart enough to think of things to think about that matter
or afraid that once I think some things there's no going back
D C G...
and we see are wrongs to right
they're everywhere
the truth is rolling out of sight
and out of mind
and all we want is anything
that'll take our minds
off this nonstop anxiety

LIFE'S A DREAM
--------------
A little variation for acoustic guitar.
Capo 3
Bm A G D
Bm A
miles till dawn
G D
but it feels so dark till then
drowns you out
but you can't be too certain
common wants
only fill me up with need
everybody
in this world is just like me
so I row on
sounds like fear
thinking there might be a cure
waste your life
but you don't know what it's worth
comb your mind
for all the treasures of this earth
too close to find
anything outside yourself
so why row on
D D#
E G
life ain't nothing
D E
but a dream
G D
realistic
E G*Riff D
as it seems

Bm A G D...
destiny's vulgar
so I might as well resist
out of the darkness
and all the secrets still exist
finally decided
and by decide I mean accept
I don't need all those
other chances I won't get
so why row on
life ain't nothing
but a dream
realistic
as it seems

F
Pat we need your brains back
Dm
Pat we need your fire
Am
and your imagination
Pat we know you fucked up
but we don't care you fucked up
everybody's fucked up
C G Am
thought I heard your voice
F
the other night
and sure enough it came
from you
thought I'd be surprised
that you weren't dead
but all I was was glad
Am
just sitting by your bed
C
and talking to your head
F
and hearing what you said
Am
as if you'd never left
C Am 2x
F Dm E F
C Em
can't you see yourself yet
can't you see through our eyes
can't you see the truth
nothing's worse than never
falling in a dream's where
we can see together
saw you the other night
have to say
something wasn't right
of course
but I didn't mind
seeing you
being all alive
Am
just walkin in the room
C
made me so relieved
F
like everything was fine
Am
and you had never died
C
or second guessed your mind
F
or gave up on our trust
Am
thought you'd gone too far
C
for us to take you back
F
but distances like that, Pat
Am
don't exist in fact

DONE

E Amaj7
E Amaj7 E Amaj7
loneliness is getting hard to perceive
seems it never comes or it never leaves
every day we step into some deceit
this should bring the ill-defined to their feet
F#m A E
it's forgiven
B
it's for you
all your problems
will come true
said it once
I'll say it once again
this won't make you happy
E Amaj7
all I want is you to make up your mind
to come on down and linger here for a while
all I know is what I wanted to say
disappeared and has yet to be replaced
it's forgiven
it's for you
all your problems
will come true
it's already done
it's already done
it's already done

PLANTING SEEDS

G D C D 3x
G D C D4 D Dsus2 D
G D Am
I'd hand it to time if I knew where the time had gone
C Em
the connoisseurs were wrong
Am
and so was everyone else
I know what they're saying cuz that's all they talk about
just need to figure out
some shit for myself
D Am
and just because it's obvious doesn't mean it's even true
D Am
heard it all and I believe that we deserve another point of view
G
we can make it if we try
D Am
and if we don't it's gonna still be alright
G D Am
cuz our minds are still alive
G D Am D
and we can decide why
G D C D 2x
make up your mind make up your own mythology
afraid of finding me
and of defining you
take what you want but you won't want it where your at
I know this for a fact
just because it's so true
the first place my mind goes is where I never want it to
like where it hurts the most or all the stupid shit I say and do
you can make it if you try
and if you don' it's gonna still be all right
cuz our minds are still alive
and we can decide what's right
Am G D
telling me thousands of times what's next to want
just doing their job but you know that's a dirty job
can't stand this game still we're bullied to play along
Bm C G
when bullies grow up they get meaner
A
yeah they really get it down
oh yeah
they think that they get it but they always get it wrong
they'll play your favorite song
just to sell shit to you
I've heard that they'll sell anything and I think they might
I think Bill Hicks was right
about what they should do
and just because you love something doesn't mean it's yours to buy
been selling it so long that no one even knows the reason why
you've been messing with our minds
gettin' rich wasting our time

came into the darkness from out of the blue
I don't know much but I know what to do
froze in my mind I believed it so long

stay out of my nightmares stay out of my dreams
you're not even welcome in my memories
when things are alright and I want what I got
it's only momentarily thought
fade out 8x

then no one believes in no one

the meekness of love or the power of pride
it doesn't matter if you're good or smart
goddamn it things fall apart

don't know how to say thanks for being alive
let's go for a lifetime let's go for a fling

You tell them you don't know how to live

Caught in the act of making up your deathbed on the wake

Wake up you're dreaming your head's starving

you're digging up the plants you love

they're antennas are picking up the sounds that whales make

whale song is love

following the signals from the deep we pay off the cross-road
