[Verse]
   C#   G#
I sit alone in my bedroom
C#             G#
Staring at the walls
     C#      G#
I've been up all damn night long
C#
My pulse is speeding
G#
My love is yearning

[Chorus]
A#m                  C#
I hold my breath and close my eyes and...
A#m         G#
Dream about her
F#            G#             C#
Cause she's 2000 light years away
A#m              C#
She holds my malachite so tight so...
A#m       G#
Never let go
F#            G#             C#
Cause she's 2000 light years away
Years Away!

[Verse]
  C#    G#
I sit outside and watch the sunrise
C#                  G#
Lookout as far as I can
    C#       G#
I can't see her, but in the distance
C#
I hear some laughter,
G#
We laugh together

[Chorus]
A#m                  C#
I hold my breath and close my eyes and...
A#m         G#
Dream about her
F#            G#             C#
Cause she's 2000 light years away
A#m              C#
She holds my malachite so tight so...
A#m       G#
Never let go
F#            G#             C#
Cause she's 2000 light years away
Years Away!

Track 2. Longview Credit: NickDaBeast

[Verse 1]
N.C.
I sit around and watch the tube but nothing's on.
N.C.
I change the channel's for an hour or two.
N.C.
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit.
N.C.
I'm sick of all the same old shit.
N.C.
In the house with unlocked doors and I'm fucking lazy.

[Chorus]
A#5         G#5     D#5      A#5
    Bite my lip and close my eyes.
        G#5     D#5
Take me away to paradise.
A#5             G#5       D#5   A#5                    G#5  D#5
    I'm so damn bored I'm going blind and I smell like shit.

[Verse 2]
N.C.
Peel me off this Velcrow seat
N.C.
And get me moving.
N.C.
I sure as hell can't do it by myself.
N.C.
I'm feeling like a dog in heat;
N.C.
Barred indoors from the summer street.
NC.
I've locked the doors to my own cell and I've lost the key.

C#5

[Chorus]
A#5         G#5     D#5      A#5
    Bite my lip and close my eyes.
        G#5     D#5
Take me away to paradise.
A#5             G#5       D#5   A#5                    G#5
    I'm so damn bored I'm going blind and I smell like shit.

[Bridge]
D#5         C#5
I've got no motivation.
D#5         C#5
Where is my motivation?
D#5         C#5
No time for motivation.
D#5        C#5   A#5    G#5  D#5  A#5   G#5  D#5  A#5  G#5 D#5
Smoking my inspi-ration.
A#5   G#5

[Verse 3]
N.C.
I sit around and watch the phone
N.C.
But no ones calling.
N.C.
Call me pathetic, call me what you will.
N.C.
My mother says to get a job
N.C.
But she don't like the one she's got.
N.C.
When masturbation's lost its fun you're fucking lonely.

C#5

[Chorus 2]
A#5         G#5     D#5      A#5
    Bite my lip and close my eyes.
        G#5     D#5
Take me away to paradise.
A#5             G#5       D#5   A#5
    I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
         G#5      D#5
And lonliness has to subside.
A#5         G#5     D#5      A#5
    Bite my lip and close my eyes.
                G#5     D#5
Slowly slipping away to paradise.
A#5           G#5      D#5     A#5                    G#5
    Some say "Quit, or I'll go blind" but it's just a myth.

 And I'm feeling all alone...

[Chorus]

It makes me wonder why I'm still here

For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home
G         B
And I'm never gonna go...

Pay attention to the cracked streets, and broken homes

It's been six whole months since I have left your home
E   D          E
It makes me wonder why I'm still here

For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home

And I'm never gonna go...

G                                C                   D
Time grabs you by the wrist, and directs you where to go

So make the best of this test and don't ask why

It's not a question but a lesson learned in time

G                         C                    D
Hang it on a shelf and in good health and good time
Em          D             C            G
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
Em            D            C             G
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

[Chorus]
Em                    G           Em           G

Dm Bb F C

[Verse]
Dm     Bb                F        C
Do you know what's worth fighting for,
Dm        Bb        F      C
When it's not worth dying for?
Dm      Bb        F      C
Does it take your breath away
Bb                         C
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Dm       Bb         F       C
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
Dm        Bb       F        C
And you look for a place to hide?
Dm      Bb             F      C
Did someone break your heart inside?
Bb                        C5
You're in ruins

[Chorus]
F5   C/E  D5
One, 21 guns

[Verse]
Dm          Bb     F          C
When you're at the end of the road
Dm      Bb       F        C
And you lost all sense of control
Dm        Bb           F           C
And your thoughts have taken their toll
Bb                                       C
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Dm   Bb             F      C
Your faith walks on broken glass
Dm      Bb       F       C
And the hangover doesn't pass
Dm        Bb   F        C
Nothing's ever built to last
Bb                 C5
You're in ruins.

Did you try to live on your own
Dm       Bb               F        A
When you burned down the house and home?
Dm      Bb         F           A
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Bb                           C
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

Dm        Bb       F           C
When it's time to live and let die
Dm      Bb        F       C
And you can't get another try
Dm         Bb         F         C
Something inside this heart has died
Bb                 C5
You're in ruins.

I'm like a soldier coming home for the first time

I dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmine
A#m G#        F#
Oh, I'm still alive

[Pre-Chorus]
C#                  G#
Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm?
A#m                                  F#
Just shine a light into the wreckage, so far away, away

   F#
My head's above the rain and roses
G#
Making my way, away
               C#       C#/C
Cause I'm still breathing
                    A#m         G#

My way to you

[Verse 2]
C#
I'm like a junkie tying off for the last time
G#
I'm like a loser that's betting on his last dime
A#m G#         F#
Oh, I'm still alive
C#
I'm like a son that was raised without a father
G#
I'm like a mother barely keeping it together
A#m G#        F#
Oh, I'm still alive

[Pre-Chorus]
C#                  G#
Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm?

[Bridge]
A#m   G#       F#        C#
As I walked out on the ledge
A#m   G#       F#        C#
Are you scared to death to live?
A#m   G#       F#        C#
I've been running all my life
        A#m              G#
Just to find a home that's for the restless
F#
And the truth that's in the message
G#
Making my way, away, away

C# G# Fm F# x2

[Intro]

C# A# G# F# G#

[Verse 1]
C#             A#
I woke up to a bitter storm
    F#              C#               G#
And Noah's Ark came washed up on the shore
C#               A#
The riot gear has lined the dawn
F#             C#                  G#            G# F#
Like dogs that shit on your neighbor's lawn

[Pre-Chorus]
F                             A#
Let freedom ring with all the crazies on parade
F#                         G#                   F#
Let them eat poison and it tastes like lemonade

[Chorus]
C#            F#                       C#
Back in the USA for a small town serenade
                    G#
With fireworks on display
A#                            F#
Tonight, it's a hero's welcome home
                          C#
And there's no place else to go
                        G#
And I'm takin' it to the grave
N.C.       F#  G# C#
Back in the U  S  A

C# A# G# F# G#

[Verse 2]
C#                A#
The saddest story ever told
   F#              C#           G#
Is feeling safe in our suburban homes
C#                  A#
Like soldiers of an endless war
F#                  C#            G#
And every church can have a liquor store

[Pre-Chorus]
F                             A#
Let freedom ring with all the crazies on parade
F#                         G#                   F#
Let them eat poison and it tastes like lemonade

Back in the USA for a small town serenade

Tonight, it's a hero's welcome home
