Intro: Em, G, C/G, Gm (x2)

  Em                  G             C/G
Do I have nothing good left to say
                          Gm                       Em
Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints
                     G                    C/G
People love to drink their troubles away
                             Gm
Sometimes I feel that I’d be better off that way

Em                        G               C/G
Cause maybe then I could sleep at night
                        Gm                    Em
I wouldn’t lie awake until the morning light
                           G               C/G
This is something that I’ll never control
                               Gm
My nerves will be the death of me I know
Em   G
     I know
C/G   Gm
      I know

Em                        G         C/G
So here’s to living life miserable
                             Gm                      Em
And here’s to all the lonely stories that I’ve told
                          G                   C/G
Maybe drinking wine would validate my sorrow
                            Gm
Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle

Em                G                C/G
Maybe then I could sleep at night
                         Gm                   Em
I wouldn’t lie awake until the morning light
                            G             C/G
This is something that I’ll never control
                               Gm
My nerves will be the death of me I know

C/G              Gm              Em
Finally I could hope for a better day
C/G                      Gm                       Em
No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind
C/G                Gm                      Em
Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn’t seem so heavy
          C/G (stop)            Gm (stop)          Em
But then again I’ll probably always feel this way

                            G              C/G
At least I know I’ll never sleep at night
                         Gm                    Em
I’ll always lie awake until the morning light
                           G                C/G
This is something that I’ll never control
                               Gm     Em
My nerves will be the death of me
                               G    C/G
My nerves will be the death of me
                               Gm (stop)
My nerves will be the death of me
C/G Gm Em (slow Strum)
I know

Verse:
G         Dsus4   D                     Em7     Cadd9        
There's a funeral procession on the highway,
G       Dsus4  D        Em7  Cadd9
Traffic screeches to a halt.
G              Dsus4 D          Em7     Cadd9
There's people searching for a better way,
              G   Dsus4 D Em7  Cadd9
To live their lives.
G      Dsus4 D                    Em7       Cadd9        
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say
G           Dsus4 D           Em7    Cadd9
As tears of sadness soak the ground.
G          Dsus4 D             Em7       Cadd9
The reaper crept in, took his breath away,
                     G   Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
In the middle of the night.

[Chorus:]
Em                               C
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
                       G                           D/F
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
Em                                C
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
            G                                  D/F
While their souls are still searching for the light,
                           (BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)
Searching for the light.

Verse:
G               Dsus4 D           Em7    Cadd9
So please don't come to me on my dying day,
G          Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
Just let me go in peace.
G            Dsus4 D        Em7       Cadd9
With all the things that I forgot to say,
                       G  Dsus4 D Em7 Cadd9
Still racing through my mind.
G           Dsus4 D             Em7      Cadd9
And don't you bury me six feet under ground,
G         Dsus4 D      Em7  Cadd9
Just burn my body in a box.
G          Dsus4 D Em7          Cadd9
And let my ashes blow with the wind,
             G  Dsus4 D Em7  Cadd9
Out into the night.... sky.

Chorus:

Em                               C
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
                       G                           D/F
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.

Sleeping Sickness

Capo 4

   Em
I awoke
    C            G
Only to find my lungs empty
   Em            
And through the night
     C               G
So it seems I'm not breathing
      Em                  C               G
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
      Em                  C               G 
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down

     Em
And I'm afraid
     C             G
To sleep because of what haunts me
      Em
Such as living with the uncertainty
        C        G
That I'll never find the words to say
  Em           C         G
Which would completely explain
  Em           C     G
Just how I'm breaking down

[Chorus]
    D                      Em            C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
    D                Em      C
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
    D                    Em             C
But now it's like the night is taking sides
    D                   Em                 C
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
 D                 Em         C
Could it be this misery will suffice?

      Em
I've become
         C           G
A simple souvenir of someone's kill
       Em
And like the sea
        C              G
I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
     Em                        C                      G 
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
    Em
oh, how I'm breaking down

[Chorus]

oooohhh my life
    D                     Em             C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
    D                     Em             C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
    D                     Em              C
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
     D         Em          C
Could it be this misery will suffice?

I can feel the wind blowing

Shakes the trees and the power lines

I can see the sun setting

Its getting colder starting to freeze

What makes a man? (I think I know)
What makes a man? (I think I know)
What makes a man?

Verse 4:
I can hear my train a comin'
Looks like time is on my side
I can hear my train a comin'
I'm still running for my life

What makes a man pray when he's about to die?
I think I know 
I think I might know

Chorus: (x2)
What makes a man? (I think I might know)
What makes a man? (I think I might know)
What makes a man?

Oh oh oh

Asus4                  Em
A constant knot in my gut.
          Aus       Em           Asus4    Em
Tied with uncertain-ty, and with lust.
Asus4             Bm
A classic case I suppose.
Asus4              Bm               Asus4        
A haunted man who can't outrun his ghosts.
Bm
They're in my skin and my bones.

Chorus:
G
So stay the night, 
Gm                      Bm
I promise, that I won't bite.
                   G
'Cause without you there
Gm                                   Bm        
I don't think that I, could close my eyes.

Outro: (same as verse)

Now I sing.

Asus4              Em            Asus4          Em
Ba ba da da, ba ba, ba da, da dah, ba ba da da, dah etc

Against the Grain

Capo: 4th fret
C/G (332010) - Am (x02210) - G (320003) - Fmaj7 (133210)

C/G                   Am
you need not to climb mountaintops
         G                Fmaj7  etc.
you need not to cross the sea
you need not to find a cure
for everything that makes you weak
you need not to reach for the stars
when life becomes so dark

C/G                    Am
and when the wind does blow against the grain
G                    Fmaj7
you must follow your heart
G                    C/G  etc.
you must follow your heart

and all your friends
have come and gone
and the sun no longer shines
and the happiness for which you long
is washed away like an ocean's tide
when all the hard times outweigh the good
and all your words are misunderstood
when the day seems lost from the start
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

if you feel you've paid the price
and your wounds should cease to heal
and everything you love in life
spins like a winding wheel
if you should wake to find you're abandoned
and the road you travel leads to a dead end
when death creeps in to play its part
you must follow your heart
you must follow your heart

A|-2-|-0-|-3-|
E|-0-|-2-|-3-|

Em    D     C  
I get so distracted 
Em        D       C
By some peoples reactions 
Em           D      C
That I don't see my own faults 
              Em   D  C
For what they are 
              Em   D  C
For what they are

Em          D       C
At times so self destructive
Em      D         C
With no intent or motive
Em    D         C
But behind this emotion,
                      Em     D  C
There lies a sensible heart
           Em     D   C
A sensible heart

Em         D
See I'm no king
  C
I wear no crown
Em            D
But desperate times
     C
Seem over now
Em          D      C
But still I weaken somehow
            Em     D   C
It tears me apart 
            Em     D   C
It tears me apart

Em        D        C
I hope to learn as time goes by
Em            D            C
That I should trust what's deep inside
Em      D          C
Burning bright, oh burning bright
            Em     D   C
My sensible heart 
            Em     D   C
My sensible heart
            Em     D   C
My sensible heart
            Em     D   C
My sensible heart

As Much as I Ever Could

ooooooooooooooo

Intro:
Am-Em-F-E

Verse 1:
Am
Love of mine,
          Em
Won't you lay by my side
              F
And rest your weary eyes
                    E
Before we're out of time
            Am
Give me one last kiss
    Em
For soon, such distance
               F
Will stretch between our lips
                     E
Now the day's losing light

Am-Em-F
oooooooooooooooo

Chorus:
C             G       F
Bring me your love, tonight
C             G       F
Bring me your love, tonight

Verse 2:
Am
Lost at sea
                 Em
My heart beat is growing weak
             F
Hoping you'd hear my plea
                 E
And come save my life
       Am
As the storm grew fierce
             Em
An angel was certainly near
                 F
I knew there was nothing to fear

Chorus:
C             G       F
Bring me your love, tonight
C             G       F
Bring me your love, tonight
C       G           F
No I am not where I belong
C             G     F
Bring me your love, tonight

C       G           F
No I am not where I belong
C          G                  F
So shine a light and guide me home
C       G           F
No I am not where I belong
C          G                    F
So shine a light, guide me back home

Am-Em-F-E
