Verse: Bm Em G Bm Em A (or Bm G Em A) Every corner I turn I hear your name Chasing after me River of a memory It rushes into me And I listen to it sing It sings, Chorus: Bm A Bm G A "Come back, and dance with us again; come back, and we can start again." Bridge: Bm Em F#m A And the song I hope that we have chosen Cause the jukebox it seems frozen Words like records broken And they all hear the same old song Verse: And every hour I sleep I see your face Looking down on me Ocean of a history It rushes into me And I listen to it sing It sings And no matter where I run, I can't deny No, I cannot hide Cause that memory it starts to cry, starts to cry and I Come back, and dance with us again.

Chords Am F Dm Em I draw houses Put them in the suburbs of my head There's a house of the living One full of things I never said I draw houses Some are big and some are small Lining all the spaces between the pavement And the nothing at all I draw cities They are wide and they are deep And when I am within them They are all that I can see I draw cities And I live there in my sleep And when the wind the wind picks up Oh I swear I hear them speak Chords: Am Dm Em There's a city of the living A place for the dead A city full of all the things I wish I never said A city of the living A place for the dead And the one I dread the most is full of things I never said I draw people Oh they look like ones I've seen They are living in these houses Filling up these great cities I draw people Cause I don't know we mean And as I close my eyes They are swimming through my dreams There are people who are living People who are dead People who I cannot seem To push out from my head People who are living People who are dead And they're all waiting for The things I never said

Chords: G# for first half, G#m for second half. Bass notes go from C to D#, then B, A# and then G#. Later chords were only constructed around this vamp, played a number of different ways. Mateo Wrote on your walls in yellow Return to sink into dream light glow Learned to fly on your northern road Mateo There's a stain in our soul only we know As I impart or stuttered a night cold I fell in love, I'm not ready to go I remember your face I remember each hiding place Those days never went to waste Those nights were never in vain Mateo Beautiful Yoko Ono Though the magic of return I can't show Oh my old world, not alone Mateo That yard full of histories, sorrow Somewhere only we can know One black light do the walls still glow?

Verse: C////Eb////F///F/// I would like, I would say I need I would wish I would try to be Chorus: C////Eb////F///Eb/// Anything and everything and nothing Whats that noise? Whats that thing you said? Paint it blue and then you paint it red Anything and everything and nothing I would like, I would say I need To break a heart or find a kind of peace Anything and everything and nothing I am hoping I am tragic, or I'm lucky Fractured into perfect wholes of pieces Anything and everything and nothing I would like, I would say I need I would sigh, I would seek believe What's that noise, what's that thing I said? Paint me blue, and then you paint me red Anything and everything and nothing.

Chords: Am///Em/// x2 C////G////Am//// 100 bpm Verse Five Summers long gone past Still the ghost I thought I'd left I feel it's hand inside my hand I trace it like a silhouette I give the road a second glance Answered by silence Chorus: Em G Am I hear your voice outside the door You live in the walls you live in the floor I hear your voice outside the door I wish these words were something more Do you remember long gone past? We were standing eyes downcast I still carry that weight like sand Trace the contours of your hand I trudge my feet through this dry land The desert's a boulder on my back It's a heart attack

Intro: Vamp in E I'm carrying too much time I'm carrying too much time on my head Stanzas: E A C#m A Well you've changed those words already Time and time again The number keeps on climbing higher And its getting to your head 5 6 7 Far too many, that is far too many dead Interlude: C#m G#m C#m G#m Refrain: E C#m G#m C#m Now I see the way I've bled Painted over the path I've tred All the people painted red With too much time upon their heads You were longing for the summer But now you're longing for the fall Still the heat wave feels like winter And it's getting to it all Now it's time to be delivered Or are we already dead I'm carrying too much time on my head Chorus: E C#m Badd9 I'm carrying too much time on my head I've changed the words too many times Now it's time to face the facts Rhetoric can only move the lines But it doesn't change the past Now it's time to pull the lever Or have we moved too fast? Now I see the way I've bled Painted over the path I've tred All the people painted red With too much time upon their heads Told you I was confused I didn't know what to do But I don't need to hold the fire I can always run to you I don't need to hold the fire I can always run to you And I'm carrying too much time on my head I'm carrying too much time on my head I have felt the time this year It presses against my skull I have felt like cold molasses I have felt like burning coals I have felt the time this year But I love to drink it in I can see newly christened spirits Sailing from the din I have felt the time this year It has washed over my skin I can see in brand new colors And I have left behind the sins

Intro (on mandola in song, written in guitar for convenience) E-1-3-5-5-----3-5-5-3-1-1-3-5-1-1 A-----------5-3--------------------------- Chords: F E/F Dm C/F Dm x2 C Bb F x2 Break this wall as I have built it Take it all I cannot wear it Did you ever read my letter? As I have spoke you know I loved you Even as our wholes they split in two Did you ever read my letter? Silent waves you have brought salvation Renewed and saved through blood and grace Did you ever read my letter? Pictures see not the hand that paints them Yet we've been built through each passing flame Did you ever read my letter? (NC) Oh tomorrow Long horizon Different story People I am sure. Oh my soul, should we worry? Better leave it for the birds
