Standard (EADGBE)
(Maybe play some hockey)
My mouth is a liar (beware)
My feet are on fire (who cares)
I've never been shy-er (i'm not scared)
If everyone's bumping around
Because
Knowers know to know and
Goers go to go and
Show-ers show to show and
No one's gonna ask your name
When you fade into forever
(i can't figure out the lyrics to this line. can anyone help?)
How can anyone say right or wrong (i love you)
And then tell you you're ok
Oh I loved the ground once
And i kept my fingers warm
Everything was true
Everything was true
When your
Penis fell apart and
No one had a heart and
No one had a chart to
Show you the right way
You
Had to be a creature
Without specific features
There were no teachers
To tell you what to say (rip out your guts)

Song: My Shadow Tags on Behind
Tuned down 1/2 step
Everything was wasted, tasted, face it kid
You were never what they wanted
I'm a bird, i'm a tree, i'm a fish outside.
The city is a breast dangling from the sky
Oh my feet go where we show the logo
my shadow tags on behind
Oh the world was never meant to be the Brooklyn Bridge
Arcades and soda and tulips
Chimneys and houses and old things
Computers and loving the cold things
Oh my feet go when we show the logo
My shadow tags on behind
solo at 1:00
The solo melodies are played over the verses now.
Oh time is like a green train of commuters
Love is a golden bath of computers
I know that everyone's got something that they do
But i don't wanna be obsolete to you
Oh i don't want to carry my bag on one shoulder for you

Song:Bartholemew
(Adam's mom sings backup)
Play all chords as arpeggios
Bartholemew bring me a fork
There's a minstrel parade on tv
Let the lights glow, an excellent reason
To stay home tonight
Oh the old men wave their canes
They have yesterday's brains
And their worlds stop turning on sundays
The young lives are clipped
And smudged on the rocks
Distorted and forgotten
Quietly she enters the room
But we can't talk, we can not be seen
Returning her new pair of jeans
Just to stay home tonight
Oh the mirror always shows
There's a stranger in my clothes
Standing on the third rail
Lost at sea
searching for me
And we don't know how to sail
So if you go to guitar store
You will see me again
Holding the door
It's an excellent night to sleep on the floor
If you stay home tonight

Song: Mozzarella Swastikas
Adam uses an alternating bass pattern for the chords in this song. It looks something like this:
For C chords:
For G7 chords:
For F chords:
Intro
strum the c chord pattern
Verse
In a land made of string
where the hills are balls of twine
and the doctor knits the sun
down in a baseball diamond mine
and the mozzarella sweaters
get sewn to the tits
where the lump behind the sheet
is where the tumor took a shit
and i'll be getting head
under the rainbow
and i'll be getting head
under the rainbow
and i'll be getting head
C Am F G **see bottom of tab for detail**
under the raaa-inbo-oh-w **on how adam ends the chorus **
well we came upon a cracker
and we all came on this cracker
and the last one had to eat it
and she did
but she threw it up like a whore
and the sunshine stabbed right through her
like a whore on a skewer
in the wind
and i'll be getting head
under the rainbow
and i'll be getting head
under the rainbow
and i'll be getting head
C Am F G **see bottom of tab for detail**
under the raaa-inbo-oh-w **on how adam ends the chorus **
now the king was reading comics
when he stepped into some vomit
and he screamed like forty wolves
being burned alive
and i rode my dolpin adam
and he fed my dolphin stars
he fed my dolphin stars
like you'd put gasoline in cars
papa was smart
but mama said i wasn't
now i've got a million dollars
but who doesn't?
gonna go to the graveyard
to get some beggin' done
gonna dig up megan
and cut out my son

Verse
Heart and soul Baby
There's no goal
Turn the lights on bright
You're a rock and roll star
Feel my love
Coming from the heavens above
When my eyes meet your eyes

Baby come dance with me

And nobody wants to be here alone

Song: Computer Show
Oh I stumbled in all wide-eyed
To the computer show
I didn't have a passport
So they turned me into snow
They turned me into snow
Follow you follow you follow you follow you
Into every store
Follow you follow you follow you follow you
Tell me what i'm for
Tell me what i'm for
Oh I stumbled in all wide-eyed
To the computer show
I didn't have my passport
So they turned me into snow
They turned me into snow
Follow you follow you follow you follow you
Into every store
Follow you follow you follow you follow you
Tell me what i'm for
You caught my eye against your eye
Deep inside the crowd
You hung me from the hooks inside
My asshole and my mouth
My asshole and my mouth
Follow you follow you follow you follow you
Into every store
Follow you follow you follow you follow you
Tell me what i'm for
Tell me what i'm for
Solo
I stumbled in all wide-eyed
To the computer show
I didn't have my passport
So they turned me into snow
They turned me into snow
They turned me into snow
Take me home with you
Take me home with you

Song: Her Father and Her
tuned about 1/4 step down
Father owned the dating bar so mother ran the store
We all lived there together with the army at the door
No one to do my laundry or to tell me that they're sure
But there really is no me and there's no army at the door
I hustle my way to your bedside
I ride on your body like a cab ride
I carry refreshments to the good guys
I made the good guys some home fries
Pardon me anyone where is the nearest shore
We're all in this together and the police are at the door
Someone do my laundry or smash through the floor
To the tropical vacation buried underneath the store
And I was your favorite bullfighter
Whose looks were new to your eyes
And i fell apart in that bullfight
Where the dress was the sky to your thighs
She said that she had an hour
Her father he was in the shower
And she took me to her little tower
And she showed me her little flower
And just when i thought it was safe to put down my pen
She said maybe i will let you fall in love with me again
Maybe i will let you fall for loving me again
Then she showed me her badge and i think she said then

Song: Baby's Gonna Die Tonight

Baby's gonna be alright

It just means I wanna get rough with you

Song: Times Are Bad
I emailed Adam about this song and he replied with the real chords and that his guitar
probably out of tune for the recording. I'll tab up the chords he told me he played. To
along with the cd, tune your guitar about 1/4 of a step up and substitute the chords this way:
CD Tab
Well, times are bad
And all the time you're feeling sad
And people are laughing
Telling you to go away
And your feet are trudgin'
You're always acting like a curmudgeon
Well i know i know
That it's hard hard hard
Well it's hard to walk around
Feeling like a circus clown
Grab a big baton
And twirl it like a magic wand
'Cause your cards are dealt
And everything is deeply felt
Well i know i know
That it's hard hard hard
And the people that you love
Are attacking you from above
And everyone that you trust
Is just selling you a bucket of lies
Well just believe
That it's all gonna be ok
Well i know i know
That it's hard hard hard

Song: Can You See Me?
Fingerpick the intro and verse chords like this-
Intro
In a town, in a city, in an eyeball, on a rock
In a fence where a goat was alone by himself
There was a boy Who was there
A boy who built a snowman out of himself
I've been popping out of closets in robin hood suits
I've been spotted in pictures with Navy recruits
Look at your costume you know that it's true
Any one could pop in as you
Try to untie your lips but they were double knotted
I tried to break into you brain but all the entrances were rotted
If the moon had minute hands it would have meant a lot
But God would have made the moon as a clock.
(strum chords)
Look, look, look at me doing this
Look, look, look at me doing that
Look, look, look at the way that i am
bye bye bye to the crazy ones
bye bye bye to the crazy ones
bye bye bye to the crazy ones
Look, look, look at me doing this
Look, look, look at me doing that (2x)
Look, look, look at the way that i am
(under heavy feedback and distortion)
Look, look, look at me doing this
Look, look, look at me doing that
Look, look, look at the way that i am
(one strum per chord for the rest of the song)
But if everybody was the best
There would be so few of the rest
Oh the places where you've never been
Oh the world was just a baby then
A million ways you learn to cry
When the boy's little waves pass you by
Oh never to be there again
Oh the children where so old-fashioned then
Coffins decked out on the street
Who's the stranger with the purple feet?
Don't i remember him from somewhere
before his feet lost his hair?
But if everyone is coffin-bound
Then i'm so scared of being not around
I'm so scared to never make a sound
I'm so scared of being underground

Song: Bleeding Heart
688766 (alt: x13331)
F x8.10.10.10x (alt: 133211)
Intro
Verse
When I wake up in the morning I smell your smell
God knows that i'm not doing well
You're my Clementine, my sweet sunshine
A sparkling diamond in your eye
Chorus
Bleeding heart, my bleeding heart
Won't you cut out my bleeding heart?
Over the mountains by the sea and the shore
I hope you come knocking at my door
(same chord pattern for the rest of the song)
Baby baby let's live in a shoe
And I'll tell you some things that I used to do
You're a broken book, a thievin' crook
You stole my heart with just one look
Bleeding heart, my bleeding heart
Won't you cut out my bleeding heart?
Over the mountains by the sea and the shore
I hope you come knocking at my door
You take my stuff and you make me blue
You've got me so goddamned subdued
And every day i hope and pray
You'll stay with me while the skies are grey
Bleeding heart, my bleeding heart
Won't you cut out my bleeding heart?
Over the mountains by the sea and the shore
I hope you come knocking at my door
