After I started learning songs by Streetlight Manifesto, I noticed that some songs have chord progressions that are similar... and sometimes the same. Not too long ago, I got the idea to put a medley together - Much like the infamous Point/Keasbey Nights/Counterpoint that every SM loves so much. Except this one isn't quite as epic, and it contains a few more songs. 5 to be exact. So, I put one together last night containing 12341234, The Big Sleep, Supernothing, One Foot On the Gas, One Foot In the Grave, and Somewhere In the Between. This is a rough version, and I'm sure it could be better. These tabs are not my own, I got them from this site, though I did make a change here and there.

Streetlight Medley Words and Music by Tomas Kalnoky Arranged by Matt Warunek -------------------- C You, you try, you try to get by. Am "You're never going to pull it off", "You shouldn't even try" F "You're a wet cigarette", "You're always second best", G but they're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves. C so you fight for them to realize; Am there's more to life, there's more to you, there's more than meets the eye. F And when you're done, the battle's been won. G You sit back, you smile and this is what you hum, you hum: -----------------------| -----------------------| -----------------------| -----------------------| ------3-5-5b7r5-3------| --3-5------------------| C Na, na, na, na, na, na G Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Am F Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na C Na, na, na, na, na, na G Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Am F Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na C G Am When as you close your eyes for the big sleep F I hope you think of me, yeah C Na, na, na, na, na, na G Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Am F Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na C Am F G He wakes up sad again and he wonders when the rain will end, C Am F G She acts like she don’t care cause to her it’s just a game, that he plays, C Am F I’m a super, I’m a nothing, I’m a no one, goin’ nowhere fast, G C But I don’t care, but I don’t care, Am F I’m a super, I’m a nothing, I’m a no one, goin’ nowhere fast, G C,Am,F,G But I don’t care, but I don’t care.

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/streetlight-manifesto/201418.html ] C G Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad Am And everything else was part of the plan Dm C G We sang: "I don't know where we go from here" C G Am F This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end C G C And we all just idolize the dead C G Am So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day Dm C G Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame C G Am F But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream C G C And nothing and no one will ever take that away C G Am Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home F C G We had a heart-to-heart about life C G Am Em But neither him or me could decide for ourselves F G If we wanted to outlive that night C G Am Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls F C G Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes C G Am Em If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole F G What a wonderful world this could be!

What will you do when they come for you? C F G C Or just do what is easier. What will you do when they come for you? C F G C That's what I read what I swear they said to me. Nine times out of ten they lied to me C F G G And after all they had the guts to say Son, no one will save you now Am F C G We want it, they got it. They claim we'll die without it Am F C G But something tells me they are wrong C G Am So, how many more examples until we break? F C G So how many sacrifices must we make? C G Because we've all been there once before Am Em And it looks like we've returned once more F G So is this the beginning or the end? C G The last two soldiers on the battlefield Am Survivors of the war F C G They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord C G "If you're listening, I'm missing him Am Em So somehow bring him home. F G How did it come to this?" C G So the soldiers lift their rifles Am And they're aiming at the head F C G They think of their first love before they take their final breath C G Am Em And somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said: F G "How did it come to this?"
