WHERE SORROW IS FOUND (E A D G A D, capo 1)
Where sorrow is found. In a hole in the ground. A light through the trees.
Where sorrow is found. On a boiling hot day. In the afternoon rain.
Where sorrow is found. Falling like boulders on Choco Mountain.
Drifting through valleys and I won’t slow down.
Reaching the end but never at home.
Where sorrow is found.
Deep in the tunnels. Over the bridges.
In a hole in the ground.
A REMINDER (E A D G B D, capo 3)
A reminder. A timely one. Through the sunlight. It unravels.
At the right time. Say the wrong thing. Be kind to who you are.
Through the darkness. As the rain falls. Unravel. Towards love.
Before it’s sad. And even if you are.
In the distance. In a golden lake. We are swimming. We are laughing.
Not trying. Just happened to be here. It just happened.
Reminded. As the rain stops. And you’re dripping.
At the right time. In the sunlight. Reminded.
SLOWLY I RIDE (E A D G B E, capo 1)
Just through the trees I see the sun falling. The wind has died.
Slowly I ride as gently the rain falls, softly on my head.
So, tell me again now that the street is quiet. Now that there is no choice.
Help me accept the puddles and the oceans, too. The sun (skun?) and the sky – so blue!
Tell me you’re there. Now I need you to be. As the darkness is swallowing.
Follow me through the trees. If you believe, I believe it, too. Do you believe in me?
Can I tell you everything? I’m only right when I’m right by you. And you can light any room.
I hear streams trickling. I felt a bird and it flew just like you. I believe in anything. I believe in everything.
I believe in anything. I believe in everything. You are everything.
Just through the trees. I see your face sinking. Slowly I ride.
YOU’RE NOT EVIL (E A D G B E, capo 7)
You’re not evil. You’re not evil. You’re not evil. You’re not evil.
You’re not evil. You’re not evil. You’re not evil. You’re not evil.
I’m not either. I’m not either. I’m not either. I’m not either.
I’m not either (oh no). I’m not either (oh yea). I’m not either (oh no).
Oh yea. Oh no. Oh yea. Oh no. Oh yea.
You’re not evil. Oh no. You’re not evil. Oh yea. You’re not evil.
IT GOES AWAY (D
G D F# B E)
It goes away but it always comes back. The shadow of a wave rolls in like the night.
But it goes away like everything else. You want to save everyone. Well, look after yourself.
It goes away like the wind blows a light. But you are not a candle. You don’t have to burn all night.
It shows the way but it can turn you blind. The shadow of a wave is always looming.
It’s never far behind. Like sunrise on a Long Nite.
I stood on the shore and saw someone I’d lost. We walked into the water.
I wasn’t scared anymore, as we dove under the shorebreak and out past the sandbank.
Out where the sharks roam. Felt like coming home. He said he’s going away.
But he’ll be back one day. And never far away.
It goes away. Take a look around.
The shadow of a wave never hits the ground.
COLD COFFEE, COLD SHOWER
It looked like the sun would come out.
Then the sky spat rain like cold coffee.
You cried out my name. You needed my help.
But I couldn’t even help myself. How could I help you?
And I stood outside the servo in the rain for like three hours.
Went home and had a cold shower.
Had a cold shower.
I’LL HOLD YOU CLOSE (D G D F# B E)
Keeping it in close today. Before the wind blows it all away.
Keeping an eye on the clouds above. Before the night covers everything up.
Holding on because it’s all you see. And all you see is all you believe.
And all you believe is all you’ve been told. And it’s all you’ve got so you hold it close.
So you hold it close.
You are the only one I’d ever tell. You are the only one who can help.
You are the only one who could ever know. So I hold you close.
I’ll hold you close.
I’ll hold you close.
I’ll hold you close.
THAT’S WHY IT REALLY HURTS (E A D G B E)
I’m nothing without you. You’re nothing without me.
You’re watching the rain on a Friday morning. Nobody told you it would be pouring.
You’re thinking about other lives. Plotting your own demise.
You’re not well but you’re not unwise.
I’m everything without you. You’re everything without me.
Now everything is softly crashing. Everything is suddenly crashing.
You’re plotting your own demise. You’re thinking about other lives.
You’re not well but you’re not unkind.
I do it to myself, I do. And that’s why it really hurts.
I do it to myself, I do. Me and everyone else.
Me and everyone else.
Me and everyone else.
We’re not well but we’re not unkind. We’re not well but we’re not unkind.
Not there, not far behind. We’re not well but we’re not unkind.
HOLDING A JAR OF SUNLIGHT
(E
A D G B E)
How could I know? How could I not?
How did it end? Where did you go?
Why did you stop? How far can you bend?
Standing back-to-back. Expecting an attack.
Like waiting for the darkness. Punching fist to fist.
Twisting in the wind. Like holding a jar of sunlight.
How could you know? Of course you didn’t know!
It’s not your fault you didn’t know.
I’M SCARED OF SOMETHING BUT I’M NOT SURE WHAT (D A D G B E)
I’m scared of something but I’m not sure what.
I was only wondering; do birds dream of walking? Or do they not?
And as the clouds go swimming through the sky, my wheels keep into spinning into night.
We’re hiding in our tunnels. We’re sleeping on the job. I was only bludging.
Dylan said I’m something. Or did he say I’m not?
And as the stars keep spinning in my head, I know the moon heard everything we said. I said a lot but I’d say it all again.
I said a lot but I’d say it all again.
I’m scared of something but I’m not sure what. I’m scared of something but I’m not sure what.
She told me something, didn’t need to say a lot.
I’m scared of something but I’m not sure what.
THE CLEAR LIGHT OF THE
RISING SUN (E A D G B E)
All I have today is the clear light of the rising sun.
All I have to do is sit and wait for it to come.
And when it does I know I’ll be warm enough.
When it does.
All I have today is the clear light of the rising sun.
All I have to do is sit and wait for it to come.
And when it does I know I’ll be warm enough.
When it does I know I’ll be warm enough.
COME-WITH GUY (E A D G B E)
Be a come-with guy.
Get in my car, let’s drive.
Into the nite.
By my side. Be a come-with guy.
Get in my car. Let’s drive into the nite.
By my side. Be a come-with guy.
Be a come-with guy.
Be a come-with guy.
ALL I COULD (E A D G B E)
I didn’t do today what I thought I would.
This time tomorrow all I hope is I’ve done what I could.
BETTER NOT ALONE (E A D G B E, capo 1)
It’s better not alone. It’s better when you know you’re home.
It’s better with a crew. It’s better with you.
Like wind blowing through the trees.
Like sand on a beach.
It’s better when you meet me there. It’s better because I know you care.
It’s better when you pick up the phone. It’s better not alone.
Like flowers growing in the garden.
Like stars on a clear nite.
It’s better not alone. It’s better when you take the lift home.
It’s better when you’re roaming and you don’t know where you’re going but at least you know you know.
It’s better not alone. It’s better not alone.
It’s better not alone.
I’LL KEEP MY HEAD UP
DESPITE IMMEDIATE FAILURE (C A D G B E)
But I’ll keep my head up despite immediate failure.
WHAT WE FIND (C A D G B E)
Rainbows dream in black and white. We’ve been screaming through the nite. And what we find is not what we’ve lost.
It’s not important to me now. It has no meaning once it’s found. And once it’s here something dies. Something bursts from the light.
I heard the morning bird in the nite.
I saw pink and blue, green and red, light up the sky.
Rainbows dream in black and white. We’ve been screaming through the nite. And what we find is not what we’ve lost.
I HOPE I SEE MY FAULTS (E A D G B E)
Today, I hope I see my faults. I hope I see my faults.
Like a torch beaming across the ocean.
Like an eagle flying into the trees.
I hope I see. I hope I see my faults.
I hope I see my faults.
Yesterday I was wrong. Today I will be too.
But I hope I see my faults.
Like a wave sighing on the shore.
Like a flower letting go of its leaves.
I hope I see. I hope I see my faults.
I hope I see my faults. I hope I see.
I hope I see my faults. I hope I see.
Like a torch beaming across the ocean.
Like an eagle flying into the trees.
Like a flower letting go of its leaves.
I hope I see. I hope I see. I hope I see. I hope I see.
BEFORE YOU TURN AROUND AND SET LIKE THE SUN (2) (E A D G B E capo 2)
Before you turn around and set like the sun. Before you look away and run.
Before you hold yourself like branches on a tree. Before you sink into an empty sea.
Before you fly away like magpies in the park. Before you dig a hole and hide.
Before you go so far you feel you can’t return. Before you realise you’ve arrived.
Before you roll over and shrink like the moon. Before you sink into the dirt.
Before you let yourself let go and float away. Before the lines show on your face.
Before your leaves fall off and melt into the grass. Before the wind blows you away.
Before a hand extends and pats you on the chest. Before you forget what you meant.
Before you turn around and set like the sun.
WAITING FOR MY BOY TO COME BACK TO ME (E A D G B E, capo 1) When will my boy come back to me? I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to sleep. ...
