Marching Bands Of Manhattan
[C]If I could open m[G]y arms
[D]And span the length of the[F] isle of Manhattan,
[C]I'd bring it to where yo[G]u are
[D]Making a lake of the E[F]ast River and Hudson
[C]If I could open my [G]mouth
[D]Wide enough for a m[F]arching band to march out
[C]They would make your name sing[G]
[D]And bend through alleys and boun[F]ce off all the buildings.
F Am C D (x2)
I [C]wish we could open our[G] eyes
[D]To see in all direct[F]ions at the same time
[C]Oh what a beautiful[G] view
[D]If you were never aware of [F]what was around you
[C]And it is true what you [G]said
[D]That I live like[F] a hermit in my own head
[C]But when the sun shines [G]again
[D]I'll pull the curtains an[F]d blinds to let the light in.
Chorus (x4)
[F]Sorrow drips into your h[Am]eart through a pinhole
[C]Just like a faucet that l[D]eaks and there is comfort in the sound
[F]But while you debate hal[Am]f empty or half full
[C]It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown
[F]Yo[Am]ur [C]lo[D]ve is gonna drown (4x)
Your love is gonna...

Soul Meets Body
Intro: Dm C (x2)
[Dm]I want to live where [C]soul meets body
[Dm]And let the sun wrap its[F] arms around me
[Dm]And bathe my skin in water [F]cool and cleansing
And fe[C]el, feel what its like to [Dm]be new
Cause in my head there?s a g[F]reyhound station
[Dm]Where I send my thoughts to fa[F]r off destinations
So t[Dm]hey may have a chance of fin[F]ding a place
where th[C]ey?re far more suited than here
Dm F C (x4)
[Dm]And I cannot guess what [F]we'll discover
[Dm]When we turn the dirt with our p[F]alms cupped like shovels
But I kn[Dm]ow our filthy hands can [F]wash one another?s
And not[C] one speck will remain
And I [Dm]do believe [F]it?s true[C]
That there are r[Dm]oads left i[F]n both of our[C] shoes
But if the[Dm] silence takes[F] you
Then I h[C]ope it takes me [Dm]too[F] [C]
So brown[Dm] eyes I [F]hold you[C] near
Cause you?re the [Dm]only song I want to[F] hear[C]
A melody[Dm] softly [F]soaring [C]through my atmosphere[Dm] [F] [C]
Where so[Dm]ul meets body[F] [Dm]
Where so[Dm]ul meets body
Where so[Dm]ul meets body
And I [Dm]do believe [F]it?s true[C]
That there are r[Dm]oads left i[F]n both of our[C] shoes
But if the[Dm] silence takes[F] you
Then I h[C]ope it takes me [Dm]too[F] [C]
So brown[Dm] eyes I [F]hold you[C] near
Cause you?re the [Dm]only song I want to[F] hear[C]
A melody[Dm] softly [F]soaring [C]through my atmosphere
A melody[Dm] softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody[Dm] softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody[Dm] softly soaring through my atmosphere
Summer Skin
Intro: C Bb Dm C Bb Dm C Bb Dm C Bb Dm C Bb
[Dm]Squeaky [C]swings and tall[Bb] grass
The long[Dm]est shad[C]ows ever[Bb] cast
The wate[Dm]r's warm[C] and chi[Bb]ldren swim
And we f[Dm]rolicked[C] about in our su[Bb]mmer skin
[Dm]I don't [C]recall a[Bb] single care
Just gre[Dm]ene[C]ry and hu[Bb]mid air
Then Lab[Dm]or [C]day c[Bb]ame and went
And we s[Dm]hed what was lef[C]t of our[Bb] summer skin
Dm C Bb F C Bb (x2)
[Dm]On the night you[C] left I [Bb]came over
And we p[Dm]eeled the fr[C]eckles from our shou[Bb]lders
Our bran[Dm]d new co[C]ats so f[Bb]lushed and pink
And I kn[Dm]ew your [C]heart I [Bb]couldn't win
Cause the season[Dm]s change[C] was a cond[Bb]uit
And we l[Dm]eft our [C]love in o[Bb]ur summer skin

Different Names For The Same Thing"
[D] [Bb] [G] [D]
[D]Alone on a t[Bb]rain[G] aimless in[D] wonder
An outda[D]ted map [Bb]crumbled[G] in my p[D]ocket
But I [D]didn't [Bb]care where I [G]was going[D]
'Cause they're all [Bm]differe[Bb]nt names for t[G]he same [D]place.
The coas[D]t disapp[Bb]eared when the s[G]ea drowned the sun[D]
And I knew no[D] words to s[B]hare with a[G]nyon[D]e
The boun[D]daries of la[Bb]nguage I qui[G]etly cur[D]sed
And all the diff[Bm]erent na[F]mes for the [G]same[D] things
[Bm]D ([F#]for[G] w[D]hat seems like an eternity)
There are di[Bm]fferent name[F]s for th[G]e same t[D]hings
There are different names for the same things...

"I Will Follow You Into The Dark"
Intro: Dm F Bb F F/E Dm F C Dm F A7 Dm C Bb Dm F
[F]Love of mine some day yo[Dm]u will die
But I'll b[Bb]e close behind
I'll fol[F]low you into the[C] dark
No blind[F]ing light or tunnels to [Dm]gates of white
Just our hands c[Bb]lasped so tight
Waiting [F]for the hint of [C]a spark
If [Dm]Heaven and Hell d[F]ecide
That they [Bb]both are s[F]ati[F/E]sfied
[Dm]Illuminate the N[F]Os on their vaca[C]ncy signs
If [Dm]there's no on[F]e beside you
When your sou[A7]l e[Dm]mba[C]rks
Then I'll[Bb] follow[Bbm] you into t[F]he dark
In Catho[F]lic school as vicious as[Dm] Roman rule
I got my[Bb] knuckles bruised by a l[F]ady in b[C]lack
And I he[Bb]ld my tongue as she tol[Dm]d me
"Son fear is the[Bb] heart of love"
So I nev[F]er went [C]back
If [Dm]Heaven and Hell d[F]ecide
That they [Bb]both are sa[F]ti[F/E]sfied
[Dm]Illuminate the N[F]Os on their [C]vacancy signs
If [Dm]there's no on[F]e beside you
When your sou[A7]l e[Dm]mbar[C]ks
Then I'll[Bb] follow[Bbm] you into t[F]he dark
[F]You and me have seen eve[Dm]rything to see
From Bangkok to C[Bb]algary
And the [F]soles of your sh[C]oes are [F]all worn down
The time for sle[Dm]ep is now
It's nothing to [Bb]cry about
Cause we'll hol[F]d each other soon[C]
The blac[Dm]kest of [Bb]rooms
If [Dm]Heaven and Hell d[F]ecide
That they [Bb]both are sa[F]ti[F/E]sfied
[Dm]Illuminate the N[F]Os on their [C]vacancy signs
If [Dm]there's no on[F]e beside you
When your sou[A7]l e[Dm]mbar[C]ks
Then I'll[Bb] follow[Bbm] you into t[F]he dark

"Crooked Teeth"
Capo on 1st Fret
[F]It w[Bb]as one hundr[C#]ed degre[G#]es, as we sat[F] be[Bb]neath a wi[C#]llow t[G#]ree,
Who's te[F]ars didn't [Bb]care, they ju[C#]st hung in the[G#] air, and refused [F]to fall,[Bb] to fa[C#]ll.[G#]
[F]And I kn[Bb]ew I'd made a ho[C#]rrible c[G#]all,
And now [F]the state li[Bb]ne felt like t[C#]he Ber[G#]lin wall,
And ther[F]e was no do[Bb]ubt about which side [C]I was on.
[F]hmmm....[Bb] [C#] [G#]
[F5]Cause I [Em]built you a h[D#]ome in my h[C]eart,
With rot[F5]ten w[Em]ood, it dec[D#]ayed from the st[Bb]art.
Cause you can'[C#]t find nothing at [G#]all,[D#]
If there[C#] was nothing t[G#]here all along.[D#]
No you c[C#]an't fin[G#]d nothing at al[D#]l,
If there[C#] was nothing th[G#]ere all along.[D#]
F Bb C# G# (x2)
[F]I br[Bb]aved tr[C#]eacherous str[G#]eets,
And kids[F] strung out on h[Bb]omemade [C#]speed.[G#]
And we s[F]hared a b[Bb]ed in which I c[C#]ould not[G#] sleep,
At al[F]l, woo,[Bb] hoo, woo, h[C#]ooOoO[G#]o.
[F]Cause at ni[Bb]ght the s[C#]un in [G#]retreat,
Made the s[F]kyline[Bb] look like[C#] crooked[G#] teeth,
In the m[F]outh of [Bb]a man who was de[C#]vour[G#]ing, us both[F].[Bb] [C#] [G#]
[F5]You're so c[Em]ute when you're slu[D#]rring your speech,[C]
But they're cl[F5]osing the bar and [Em]they want us[Bb] to leave.
And you ca[C#]n't find n[G#]othing at [D#]all,
If there[C#] was nothing t[G#]here all along.[D#]
No you c[C#]an't find [G#]nothing at [D#]all,
If there[C#] was nothing t[G#]here all along.[D#]
[Bb]I'm a war, of he[C]ad versus heart,
And it's[F] always this [Bb]way.
My hea[Bb]d is weak, my heart always[C] speaks,
Before I[F] know what it[Bb] will say.
C# G D# (x4)
And you ca[C#]n't find n[G#]othing at [D#]all,

If there[C#] was nothing t[G#]here all along.[D#]
And you ca[C#]n't find n[G#]othing at [D#]all,
If there[C#] was nothing t[G#]here all along.[D#]
There were churc[C#]hes, the[G#]me parks and mal[D#]ls,
But there was no[C#]thing th[G#]ere all [D#]along.
"What Sarah Said"
[F] [G] [Am] [E] [F] [G] [Am] [E] [F] [G] [A] [E] [F] [G] [Am] [E]
And it c[F]ame to me then that ever[G]y plan is a[Am] tiny prayer [E]to father time
As I sta[F]red at my shoes in the I[G]CU that [Am]reeked of piss a[E]nd 409
And I ra[F]tioned my breaths as I s[G]aid to myself that I'd a[Am]lready taken too[E] much today
As each [F]descending peak on the L[G]CD took you a little far[Am]ther [E]away from me
[F]Away from me[G] [Am] [E]
[F] [G] [Am] [E]
Amongst the vend[F]ing machines and year-old magazi[G]nes in a place[Am] where we only say goodbye[E]
It stung like a [F]violent wind that our me[G]mories depend on[Am] a faulty camera[E] in our minds
But I knew that [F]you were a truth I would[G] rather lose than to hav[Am]e never [E]lain beside at all
And I looked aro[F]und at all the e[G]yes on the ground as the[Am] TV ente[E]rtained itself
'Cause t[D]here's no comfort [C]in the waiting room[Am] [E]
Just ner[D]vous pacers brac[F]ing for bad [A]news[E]
And then the nur[D]se comes round and every[C]one will lift their [A]head[E]s
But I'm [D]thinking of what[F] Sarah said that[A] "Love is watchi[F]ng someone die"[C]
[F] [C] [F] [G] [C]
So who's[F] going to wa[G]tch you die?[C]..[E] [F]

No long[G#]er easy on the eyes but t[Cm]hese wrinkles masterfull[D#]y disguis[G#]e
The youthful boy[Bb] below w[G#]ho turned your way and s[Cm]aw
Something he was not[D#] loo[G#]king for: both a beginning and an end
