Marching Bands Of Manhattan
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.
FAmCDm
    (x2)
  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)
F                       Am
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
C                        Dm
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
F                       Am
But while you debate half empty or half full
C
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown
F Am C Dm
Your love is gonna drown (x4)
Your love is gonna...

Soul Meets Body
Intro:
DmC
  (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
DmFC
   (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
        Dm
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
        Dm
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
        Dm
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
DmCBbFCBb
      (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

Different Names For The Same Thing"
D Bb G D
D           Bb  G          D
Alone on a train aimless in wonder
        D       Bb      G       D
An outdated map crumbled in my pocket
      D      Bb           G          D
But I didn't care where I was going
                   Bm     Bb            G       D
'Cause they're all different names for the same place.
        D       Bb              G                  D
The coast disappeared when the sea drowned the sun
             D          B          G   D
And I knew no words to share with anyone
        D           Bb          G       D
The boundaries of language I quietly cursed
                Bm      F           G   D
And all the different names for the same things
Bm F# G D
D
*for what seems like an eternity)
            Bm          F       G       D
There are different names for the same things
There are different names for the same things...

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule

I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black

"Crooked Teeth"
Capo on 1st Fret
F   Bb          Db      Ab           F  Bb        Db    Ab
It was one hundred degrees, as we sat beneath a willow tree,
        F          Bb           Db            Ab                F       Bb    Db Ab
Who's tears didn't care, they just hung in the air, and refused to fall, to fall.
F       Bb              Db      Ab
And I knew I'd made a horrible call,
        F           Bb            Db    Ab
And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall,
        F          Bb                   C
And there was no doubt about which side I was on.
F       Bb Db Ab
hmmm....
F5      Em           Eb         C
Cause I built you a home in my heart,
        F5   Em         Eb              Bb
With rotten wood, it decayed from the start.
              Db                Ab      Eb
Cause you can't find nothing at all,
        Db            Ab                Eb
If there was nothing there all along.
        Db      Ab             Eb
No you can't find nothing at all,
        Db             Ab               Eb
If there was nothing there all along.

I braved treacherous streets,
        F               Bb      Db          Ab
And kids strung out on homemade speed.
        F        Bb             Db      Ab
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep,
     F      Bb          Db   Ab
At all, woo, hoo, woo, hooOoOo.
F          Bb       Db    Ab
Cause at night the sun in retreat,
          F     Bb        Db      Ab
Made the skyline look like crooked teeth,
        F       Bb              Db  Ab          F Bb Db Ab
In the mouth of a man who was devouring, us both.
F5         Em                 Eb                C
You're so cute when you're slurring your speech,

But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.
          Db        Ab        Eb
And you can't find nothing at all,
        Db            Ab               Eb
If there was nothing there all along.
        Db        Ab         Eb
No you can't find nothing at all,
        Db            Ab               Eb
If there was nothing there all along.
Bb              C
I'm a war, of head versus heart,
        F            Bb
And it's always this way.
      Bb                        C
My head is weak, my heart always speaks,
        F            Bb
Before I know what it will say.

There were churches, theme parks and malls,

But there was nothing there all along.
"What Sarah Said"
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
                        Eb
Like brothers on a hotel bed
                        Eb
Like brothers on a hotel bed

G               C   Am
Time for the final bout
G               C       Am
Rows of deserted houses
G       F        E            C G
All our stable mates highway bound
G               C       Am
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
       G            F           E       C
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
