The Dam At Otter Creek

[Bm] [Bsus4] [Bm] [Bsus4] When all that's left to do
Is reflect on what's been done
This is where sadness breathes
The sadness of everyone
Just like when the guys
Built the dam at Otter Creek
And all the water backed up
Deep enough to dive
We took the dead man in sheets
To the river flanked by love
Deep enough to dive
Be here now
We took him there and three
In a stretcher made from trees
That had passed in the storm
Leave the hearse behind
To leave the curse behind
Be here now
Bridge: | Em G |
Selling The Drama
-----------------
(intro is a 1/2 step bend on second fret, 5th string [A])
[G]And to [D]love... a [G]god
And to [D]fear... a [Em]flame
And to [Bm7]burn a [C]crowd that has a name
And to right or wrong
And to meek or strong
It is known just scream it from the wall
[D]I've willed, I've walked, I've read
I've talked, I know, I know
I've been here before
[Em]Hey [A]now we won't be [Em]raped
Hey[A] now we won't be [Em]scarred like that
[Em]Hey [A]now we won't be [Em]raped
Hey[A] now we won't be [C]scarred like that...
It's the sun that burns
It's the wheel that turns
It's the way we sing that makes 'em dream
And to Christ... a cross
And to me... a chair
I will sit and earn the ransome from up here
I've willed...
Bridge: | D Em Bm7 C |
I Alone
-------
It's [G]easier [D]not to be [C]wise[Cmaj7]
Measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
Alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you here save your eyes
You'll need them your boat is at sea
Your anchor is up, you've been swept away
And the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
To [B]leave you there by yourself chained to fate
[E]I a[B]lone [G]love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
[A]Fear is not the end of this...
It's easier not to be great
And measure these things by your eyes
We long to be here by his resolve
Alone in the church by and by
To cradle the baby in space
To leave you there by yourself chained to fate
I alone...
[B]Oh now we took it back too far
Only love can save us now
All these riddles that you burn
All come running back to you
All these rhythms that you hide
Only love can save us now
All these riddles that you burn
yeah yeah yeah
Iris
[----] [C#m]I liked the way my hand looked on your head
In the [F#]presence of my knuckles
But the [C#m]beauty of this vision alone
Just like yesterday's sunset
Has been per[F#]verted by the sentimental
And mistaken for love
The [E]felix of your truth will always [F#]break it
And the iris of your eye will always shake it
And the armies, the armies I have created
Will always [A]hate it
Will always [B]bait you on
I liked the way my hand looked on your head
In the presence of my struggle
But the beauty of this vision alone
I can't shake from my tree just yet
It keeps invading all my private moments
Listen to me now
[F#]Do not see their [B]flags[F#]
Do not see their flags
Do not see their [E]flags
Do not see their [A]flags
Deep inside my [E]head
Do not see their [A]flags
The [E]felix of your truth will always [A]break it
And the iris of your eye will always shake it
And the armies, the armies I have created
Will always hate it, will always bait you on
Do not see their flags[F#] [C#m]
Lightning Crashes
-----------------
[F]Lightning [C]crashes a new mother [G]cries
Her placenta falls to the floor
The angel opens her eyes
The confusion sets in
Before the doctor can even close the door
Lightning crashes an old mother dies
Her intentions fall to the floor
The angel closes her eyes
The confusion that was hers
Belongs now to the baby down the hall
Oh now feel it coming back again
Like the rolling thunder chasing the wind
Forces pulling from the center of the earth again
I can feel it
Lightning crashes a new mother cries
This moment she's been waiting for
The angel opens her eyes
Pale blue colored iris
Presents the circle
And puts the glory out to hide

[---] [Am] [Asus4] [Am] [Asus4] [Em] [Am]This is not [F]helping me at all
What are you doing here
In the name of God and Love
It's the distribution of fear
Pyramids, healing wines, analysts with fame
I haven't got your degree
And I forgot your name
[C]Pick me up put [Dm]me on the ground
[C]Set me up and spin [Dm]me all around
F Am F Am (intro thing)
No you are not the one I wish to see
This is not helping me at all
Where did we get this plan?
That you could give to me
What I might already have
Pyramids, healing wines, a musician's fame
I volunteered you my eyes
In place of facing me
Pick me up...
[Am] [G] Oh Hitler in a robe of truth
[Am] [G] My emptiness has built your alter
[Am] [G] And I've worshiped myself in you [F]forever
Until now...
All Over You
------------
[G] [F#] [Bm] [A] [D] [D]Our love is[A] like water
[F#]Pinned down and[G] abused
For [A]being [D]strange
Our love is[A] no other[F#]
Than me [G]alone
For [A]me all [D]day
Our love is[F#] like water (angels)
[F#]pinned down and[G] abused[A]
[G]All [F#]over [Bm]you, all [A]over [D]me
The sun, the fields, the sky
I've often tried to hold the sea
The sun, the fields, the tide
[G]Pay [F#]me n[Bm]ow, l[G]ay [F#]me d[Bm]own[E] [A]

The [G]Weavers live [A]up the street from [Bm]me[Bsus2]
The Crackheads, they live down the street from me
The tall grass makes it hard to see
Beyond my property
Hey man this is criminal
This hard line symmetry of people and pets
[F]We don't bother [D]anyone
We [F]keep to our[D]selves
The [F]mailman visits [D]each of us in [C]turn
We don't bother anyone
We keep to ourselves
The mailman visits each of us in time

[Em] [A] In the moment I was losing my head
Readin' too much and losing my head
And I was
Reaching forward I was already there
Readin' too much and losing my head
This information caused a cut in the line
Now I'm remembering God and readin' too much
It's so nice
The print is smaller than the ants in the grass
I'll have to put it away now
In the morning there are things to be read
Words to be said and food to be fed but I
Won't be there I'll be clutching on a megaphone
Pointed at my head, would you be there
Would you kindly read this word for word
So loud and clear, I can't remember it all
It needs to be clear, I tell you
If the feeling drops out of your voice
Would you kindly pick it up
This is how I'll go out tonight
Dressed in blue by the book tonight
This is how I'll go out tonight
But I don't need a book
We're talkin' anchors, talkin' ships
We're talkin' seas, we're talking everything you need
You should be working now
Not only asking how and the whereabouts
Of where you'll be
I don't suspect you will be thinking
When the brain is dead and the mind has taken over
This is a skull this is not a game
Where have you been, are you with us?
Can you hear us?
Got the megaphone pointed at you...
This is how I'll go out tonight
Dressed in blue by the book tonight
This is how I'll go out tonight
But I don't need a book
Bridge: C A C A G
This is how...
Stage
[-----] [F#]I wa[E]nna feel
I wanna try
I wanna rock in the city tonight
I wanna deal
Don't wanna die
I wanna bring my Captain Hook into the light
[F#]People [E]I've [D]seen [C#]my [B]day
[A]Ranting and [E]raving this [D]beauty away
We are by and large the same
But words are too feeble
They can not contain
He was a rock and roll messiah
She was known for her child care
The truth is gonna give up the world
If you can give up the stage
If [A]I can give [E]up the [D]stage
If [A]we can give [E]up the [D]stage
[C#m]Come to [A]this,[E] I can't [B]come to you
[C#m]Don't do [A]this,[E] wake me [B]up tonight
[G#m]Come to [A]this,[E] I can't [B]come to you
[C#m]Don't do [A]this,[E] wake me [B]up tonight
Tonight, tonight, come on mutherphucker
He was a rock and roll messiah
How could you stand to lay beside her
]: F# E D :[ B
nananananananananananana yeah yeah yeah
Give me the stage beside her...
Waitress
--------
[C]Come on baby [D]leave some change behind
She was a bitch but I don't care
She brought out our food on time
Wore a phunky barrette in her hair
Come on baby [G]leave some change be[A]hind
She was a [Bm]bitch but good e[C]nough
To leave some [G]change
Everybody's [A]good enough for some [Bm]change
The girl's got family
She needs cash to buy asprin for her pain
Everybody's good enough for some change
We all get the flu
We all get aids
We've got to stick together
After all, everybody's good enough for some change
SOME PHUCKING CHANGE!!!

[E] Pillar of Davidson
------------------
Am (pickup notes are: A|-0-2-3--|)
[Am]Warm bodies, I sense
Are not machines that can only make [G]money
[Am]Past, perfect tense
Words for a feeling and all I've dis[G]covered
[Am]I'll be along son
With medicine supposed to, designed to
Make you [G]high
[Am]I'll be along son
With words for a feeling and all I've dis[G]covered
[Em]Old [F#m]bad [G]eyes (3x)
On lonliness comes
Go see the foreman go see the propheteer
On lonliness drives
We're taking our time moving shit
For this holy slime
[Em]Old [F#m]bad [G]eyes (3x)
Almighty [A]fear
The [D]shepard[G] won't leave me a[A]lone
He's in my face and I
The [D]shepard [G]of my [A]days
And [G]I want you [A]here by my [G]heart
And my [A]head I can't [G]start
Till I'm [A]dead...
Bridge: C G C G
Outro backing vocals:
Here I am locking horns with a stallion
Failing to hold my head up, I'll go back again
Pillar of Davidson, feeling too hard to go down
Cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon
Deeper and deeper in love so I'll hold my head up
Cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon
Pillar of Davidson, feeling too hard to go down
White, Discussion
-----------------
]: E D C# C D :[ (5ths)
I talk of freedom
You talk of the flag
I talk of revolution
You'd much rather brag
And as the decibels of this disenchanting
Discourse continue to damnpen the day
The coin flips again and again and again
And again as our sanity walks away
All this discussion though politically correct
Is dead beyond destruction
Though it leaves me quite erect
And as the final sunset rolls behind the Earth
And the clock is finally dead
I'll look at you, you'll look at me
And we'll cry alot, but this will be what we said
This will be what we said
[E]Look where all this talking got us [C]baby...[A]
Untitled Track (Horse)
----------------------
[G]All the [F]things that they make you [E]say
And all the love that you hide away
I'll pick you up and it'll be alright
I'll pick you up and it'll be tonight
[G]She rode a [Bm]horse into my [F]head[G]
She rode a horse into my head
She won't discipline the children
[G]And now they're [Bm]running wild on the [F]beach
And I don't [G]care, no [Asus4]I don't care...
It's the middle of the night and we're here
Playing dominos and drinking beer
I try to think of something deep to say
But my well is dipping dry today
She rode a horse...
