10. Brothers On A Hotel Bed
CIf I could open mGy arms
DmAnd span the length of the Fisle of Manhattan,
CI'd bring it to where yoGu are
DmMaking a lake of the EFast River and Hudson
CIf I could open my Gmouth
DmWide enough for a mFarching band to march out
CThey would make your name singG
DmAnd bend through alleys and bounFce off all the buildings.
F Am C Dm(x2)
I Cwish we could open our Geyes
DmTo see in all directFions at the same time
COh what a beautiful Gview
DmIf you were never aware of Fwhat was around you
CAnd it is true what you Gsaid
DmThat I live like Fa hermit in my own head
CBut when the sun shines Gagain
DmI'll pull the curtains anFd blinds to let the light in.
Chorus (x4)
FSorrow drips into your hAmeart through a pinhole
CJust like a faucet that lDmeaks and there is comfort in the sound
FBut while you debate halAmf empty or half full
CIt slowly rises, your love is gonna drown
FYoAmur CloDmve is gonna drown (x4)
Your love is gonna...

Soul Meets Body
Intro:
Dm C(x2)
DmI want to live where Csoul meets body
DmAnd let the sun wrap its Farms around me
DmAnd bathe my skin in water Fcool and cleansing
And feCel, feel what its like to Dmbe new
Cause in my head there’s a gFreyhound station
DmWhere I send my thoughts to faFr off destinations
So tDmhey may have a chance of finFding a place
where thCey’re far more suited than here
Dm F C(x4)
DmAnd I cannot guess what Fwe'll discover
DmWhen we turn the dirt with our pFalms cupped like shovels
But I knDmow our filthy hands can Fwash one another’s
And not Cone speck will remain
And I Dmdo believe Fit’s trueC
That there are rDmoads left iFn both of our Cshoes
But if the Dmsilence takes Fyou
Then I hCope it takes me DmtooF C
So brown Dmeyes I Fhold you Cnear
Cause you’re the Dmonly song I want to FhearC
A melody Dmsoftly Fsoaring Cthrough my atmosphereDm F C
Where soDmul meets bodyF Dm
Where soDmul meets body
Where soDmul meets body
And I Dmdo believe Fit’s trueC
That there are rDmoads left iFn both of our Cshoes
But if the Dmsilence takes Fyou
Then I hCope it takes me DmtooF C
So brown Dmeyes I Fhold you Cnear
Cause you’re the Dmonly song I want to FhearC
A melody Dmsoftly Fsoaring Cthrough my atmosphere
A melody Dmsoftly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody Dmsoftly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody Dmsoftly soaring through my atmosphere

10. Brothers On A Hotel Bed
C G
If I could open my arms
Dm F
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan,
C G
I'd bring it to where you are
Dm F
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson
C G
If I could open my mouth
Dm F
Wide enough for a marching band to march out
C G
They would make your name sing
Dm F
And bend through alleys and bounce off all the buildings.
F Am C Dm

C G
I wish we could open our eyes
Dm F
To see in all directions at the same time
C G
Oh what a beautiful view
Dm F
If you were never aware of what was around you
C G
And it is true what you said
Dm F
That I live like a hermit in my own head
C G
But when the sun shines again
Dm F
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in.
Chorus (x4)

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole

Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound

Soul Meets Body
Intro:
Dm C
(x2)
Dm C
I want to live where soul meets body
Dm F
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
Dm F
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
C Dm
And feel, feel what its like to be new
F
Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Dm F
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
Dm F
So they may have a chance of finding a place
C
where they’re far more suited than here
Dm F C
(x4)
Dm F
And I cannot guess what we'll discover
Dm F
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
Dm F
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another’s
C
And not one speck will remain
Dm F C
And I do believe it’s true
Dm F C
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
Dm F
But if the silence takes you
C Dm F C
Then I hope it takes me too
Dm F C
So brown eyes I hold you near
Dm F C
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
Dm F C Dm F C
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
Dm F Dm
Where soul meets body
Dm
Where soul meets body
Dm
Where soul meets body
Dm F C
And I do believe it’s true
Dm F C
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
Dm F
But if the silence takes you
C Dm F C
Then I hope it takes me too
Dm F C
So brown eyes I hold you near
Dm F C
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
Dm F C
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Summer Skin
Intro:
C Bb Dm C Bb Dm C Bb Dm C Bb Dm C Bb
Dm C Bb
Squeaky swings and tall grass
Dm C Bb
The longest shadows ever cast
Dm C Bb
The water's warm and children swim
Dm C Bb
And we frolicked about in our summer skin
Dm C Bb
I don't recall a single care
Dm C Bb
Just greenery and humid air
Dm C Bb
Then Labor day came and went
Dm C Bb
And we shed what was left of our summer skin
Dm C Bb F C Bb
(x2)
Dm C Bb
On the night you left I came over
Dm C Bb
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Dm C Bb
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
Dm C Bb
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Dm C Bb
Cause the seasons change was a conduit
Dm C Bb
And we left our love in our summer skin

In the mouth of a man who was devouring, us both.

If there was nothing there all along.
Db Ab Eb
There were churches, theme parks and malls,
Db Ab Eb
But there was nothing there all along.
F G Am E F G Am E F G A E F G Am E
F G Am E
And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time
F G Am E
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU that reeked of piss and 409
F G Am E
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself that I'd already taken too much today
F G Am E
As each descending peak on the LCD took you a little farther away from me
F G Am E
Away from me
F G Am E
F G Am E
Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines in a place where we only say goodbye
F G Am E
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in our minds
F G Am E
But I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all
F G Am E
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground as the TV entertained itself
D C Am E
'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
D F A E
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
D C A E
And then the nurse comes round and everyone will lift their heads
D F A F C
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said that "Love is watching someone die"
F C F G C
F G C E F
So who's going to watch you die?..

Ab Cm Eb Ab
You may tire of me as our December sun is setting because I'm not who I used to be
Ab Cm Eb Ab
No longer easy on the eyes but these wrinkles masterfully disguise
Bb Ab Cm
The youthful boy below who turned your way and saw
Eb Ab
Something he was not looking for: both a beginning and an end
Ab Cm Eb Ab
But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize
Bb G
When he catches his reflection on accident
Ab Cm Eb Ab
Ab Cm
On the back of a motor bike
Eb Ab
With your arms outstretched trying to take flight
Leaving everything behind
Ab Cm Eb Ab
But even at our swiftest speed we couldn't break from the concrete
Bb
In the city where we still reside
Ab Cm Eb Ab
And I have learned that even landlocked lovers yearn for the sea like navy men
Ab Cm Eb Ab
Cause now we say goodnight from our own separate sides
Bb Eb
Like brothers on a hotel bed

Like brothers on a hotel bed

Like brothers on a hotel bed

Time for the final bout

Rows of deserted houses
G F E C G
All our stable mates highway bound

Give us our measly sum
G C Am G F
Getting the air inside my lungs is heavenly
E C G F E C D E C D E
Starting out with nothing but crippling doubt
C D Em B C G
We'll rest easy justified
C Am C C Am
Suffered a swift defeat, I'll endure countless repeats

The gift of memory is an awful curse
F E C D C G A
With age it just gets much worse, but I won't mind
D C G A
I won't mind
D C G A
I won't mind
D C G C Am G
I won't mind
