 I'll cross my heart and hope to die

 before I have the chance to lie

 but sometimes love just is not enough

 and my heart will stray before too long

 so please forgive me when I sing

 this song

The Death of Me

Chords used:

Intro

 Do I have nothing good left to say

 Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints

 People love to drink their troubles away

 Sometimes I feel that I’d be better off that way

Cause maybe then I could sleep at night

 I wouldn’t lie awake until the morning light

 This is something that I’ll never control

 My nerves will be the death of me I know

I know

I know

So here’s to living life miserable

 And here’s to all the lonely stories that I’ve told

 Maybe drinking wine would validate my sorrow

 Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle

Maybe then I could sleep at night

 I wouldn’t lie awake until the morning light

 This is something that I’ll never control

 My nerves will be the death of me I know

Finally I could hope for a better day

No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind

Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn’t seem so heavy

 But then again I’ll probably always feel this way

 At least I know I’ll never sleep at night

 I’ll always lie awake until the morning light

 This is something that I’ll never control

 My nerves will be the death of me

 My nerves will be the death of me

 My nerves will be the death of me

I know

Body In A Box

Verse

There's a funeral procession on the highway,

Traffic screeches to a halt.

There's people searching for a better way,

 To live their lives.

Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say

As tears of sadness soak the ground.

The reaper crept in, took his breath away,

 In the middle of the night.

Chorus

]

We celebrate the lives of the dead,

 It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.

We gather 'round to pay our respects,

 While their souls are still searching for the light,

(BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)

Searching for the light.

Verse

So please don't come to me on my dying day,

Just let me go in peace.

With all the things that I forgot to say,

 Still racing through my mind.

And don't you bury me six feet under ground,

Just burn my body in a box.

And let my ashes blow with the wind,

 Out into the night.... sky.

Chorus

We celebrate the lives of the dead,

 It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.

We gather 'round to pay our respects,

 While their souls are still searching for the light,

(BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)

Searching for the light.

Sleeping Sickness

 I awoke

 Only to find my lungs empty

 And through the night

 So it seems I'm not breathing

 And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be

 And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down

 And I'm afraid

 To sleep because of what haunts me

 Such as living with the uncertainty

 That I'll never find the words to say

 Which would completely explain

 Just how I'm breaking down

Chorus

 Someone come and, someone come and save my life

 Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead

 But now it's like the night is taking sides

 With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind

 Could it be this misery will suffice?

 I've become

 A simple souvenir of someone's kill

 And like the sea

 I'm constantly changing from calm to ill

 Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole

 oh, how I'm breaking down

Chorus

oooohhh my life

 Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)

 Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)

 Someone come and, someone come and save my life

 Could it be this misery will suffice?

What Makes A Man

Intro

(,,)

Verse 1

I can hear my train a comin'

Its a lonesome and distant cry

I can hear my train a comin'

Now I'm running for my life

What makes a man walk away from his mind?

I think I know

 I think I might know

Verse 2

I can feel the wind blowing

Sending shivers down my spine

I can feel the wind blowing

Shakes the trees and the power lines

What makes a man spend his whole life in disguise?

I think I know

 I think I might know

Chorus

What makes a man? (I think I know)

What makes a man? (I think I know)

What makes a man?

 Oh oh oh

Repeat chords

Verse 3

I can see the sun setting

Its casting shadows on the sea

I can see the sun setting

Its getting colder starting to freeze

What makes a man want to break a heart with ease

I think I know

I think I might know

Chorus

What makes a man? (I think I know)

What makes a man? (I think I know)

What makes a man?

Verse 4

I can hear my train a comin'

Looks like time is on my side

I can hear my train a comin'

I'm still running for my life

What makes a man pray when he's about to die?

I think I know

I think I might know

Chorus

(x2)

What makes a man? (I think I might know)

What makes a man? (I think I might know)

What makes a man?

A coma might feel better than this,

attempting to discover where to begin.

You're weighed down, you're full of something.

 Of sickness, and desertion.

You're weighed down, you're full of something,

 you're underneath it all.

So say goodbye to love,

 and hold your head up high.

There's no need to rush

 we're all just waiting, waiting to die.

(Slide the Em11 down to Cmaj7, listen to the track to get the timing)

Hoping a better place is all I need,

with moments of innocence and mystery.

Oh, it's the little things you miss.

 Like waking up all alone.

Oh, it's the little things you miss,

 when you're underneath it all.

So say goodbye to love,

 and hold your head up high.

There's no need to rush

 we're all just waiting, waiting to die.

All your friends seem like enemies

 when you're broken down and empty. Oooh.

All your friends seem like enemies

 when you're broken down and empty. Oooh.

So say goodbye to love,

  Em11(let ring) (let ring

and hold your head up high.

There's no need to rush

 we're all just waiting, waiting to die.

Constant Knot

Chords:

Intro

Verse 1

How much would you bet?

That if i tried hard enough.

 I would spontane-ously combust.

I wish I could disappear,

and run away from all of my fears,

 I think I'm coming undone...

Ba ba da da, ba ba, ba da da dah.

Chorus

So stay the night,

I promise, that I won't bite.

 'Cause without you there

I don't think that I, could close my eyes.

Verse 2

How do I end up this way?

A constant knot in my gut.

 Tied with uncertain-ty, and with lust.

A classic case I suppose.

A haunted man who can't outrun his ghosts.

They're in my skin and my bones.

Chorus

So stay the night,

I promise, that I won't bite.

 'Cause without you there

I don't think that I, could close my eyes.

Outro

(same as verse)

Now I sing.

Ba ba da da, ba ba, ba da, da dah, ba ba da da, dah etc

Against the Grain

you need not to climb mountaintops

  etc.

you need not to cross the sea

you need not to find a cure

for everything that makes you weak

you need not to reach for the stars

when life becomes so dark

and when the wind does blow against the grain

you must follow your heart

etc.

you must follow your heart

and all your friends

have come and gone

and the sun no longer shines

and the happiness for which you long

is washed away like an ocean's tide

when all the hard times outweigh the good

and all your words are misunderstood

when the day seems lost from the start

you must follow your heart

you must follow your heart

if you feel you've paid the price

and your wounds should cease to heal

and everything you love in life

spins like a winding wheel

if you should wake to find you're abandoned

and the road you travel leads to a dead end

when death creeps in to play its part

you must follow your heart

you must follow your heart

The Girl

[G/f#]

I wish I could do better by you 'cause that's what you deserve,

[G/f#]

You sacrifice so much of your life in order for this to work.

[G/f#]

While I'm out chasin' my own dreams,

Sailin' around the world,

 Please know that I'm yours to keep, my beautiful girl.

[G/f#]

When you cry, a piece of my heart dies, knowing I may have been the cause

[G/f#]

If you were to leave, fulfill someone else's dreams, I think I might totally

 be lost.

[G/f#]

You don't ask for no diamond rings,

No delicate string of pearls,

That's why I wrote this song to sing, my beautiful girl.

[G/f#]

Sensible Heart

I get so distracted

By some peoples reactions

That I don't see my own faults

 For what they are

 For what they are

At times so self destructive

With no intent or motive

But behind this emotion,

 There lies a sensible heart

 A sensible heart

See I'm no king

 I wear no crown

But desperate times

 Seem over now

But still I weaken somehow

 It tears me apart

 It tears me apart

I hope to learn as time goes by

That I should trust what's deep inside

Burning bright, oh burning bright

 My sensible heart

 My sensible heart

 My sensible heart

 My sensible heart

As Much as I Ever Could

ooooooooooooooo

Intro

Verse 1

Love of mine,

 Won't you lay by my side

 And rest your weary eyes

 Before we're out of time

 Give me one last kiss

 For soon, such distance

 Will stretch between our lips

 Now the day's losing light

oooooooooooooooo

Chorus

Bring me your love, tonight

Bring me your love, tonight

Verse 2

Lost at sea

 My heart beat is growing weak

 Hoping you'd hear my plea

 And come save my life

 As the storm grew fierce

 An angel was certainly near

 I knew there was nothing to fear

Chorus

Bring me your love, tonight

Bring me your love, tonight

No I am not where I belong

Bring me your love, tonight

No I am not where I belong

So shine a light and guide me home

No I am not where I belong

So shine a light, guide me back home

ooooooooooooooooo
