Intro
[G] [G/F#] [Em7] [Cadd9]
[G] [G/F#] [Em7] [Cadd9]
When I'm done with [G]thinking,[G/F#]
then I'm done with [Em7]you.[Cadd9]
When I'm done with [G]crying,[G/F#]
then I'm done with [Em7]you.[Cadd9]
When I feel so [G]tired,[G/F#]
then I'm done with [Em7]you.[Cadd9]
You know [G]everybody feels this [G/F#]way some times
[Em7]Everybody feels this [Cadd9]way
And I [D]do[D][G]
You can [G]hear it but I [D]do.[D][G]
You can [G]hear it but I [Am]do.[Am][C]
[C]You're trying to [G]convince me[G/F#]
that what i've done's not [Em7]right.[Cadd9]
And I get so [G]frustrated[G/F#]
I stay up every [Em7]night.[Cadd9]
You ask me for an [G]answer[G/F#]
I'm so tired and [Em7]up in the air
up in the [Cadd9]air
You know [G]everybody feels this way some [G/F#]time
[Em7]Everybody feels this [Cadd9]way
And I [D]do[D][G]
You can hear [G]it but I [D]do.[D][G]
You can hear [G]it but I'm [Am]feeling this [C]way
[Am]just because you [C]say
[G]I will be ignored
And [G/F#]I be denied
And [Em7]I could be erased
I could be,[Cadd9] brushed aside.
[Am]I will get scared,
and [Am]I will get shoved down.
But [Am]I feel like I do
because you [D]push me around.
I'm starting to [G]ignore you[G/F#]
You know I doubted you so [Em7]long.[Cadd9]
I'm tired of over [G]thinking[G/F#]
I know you don't [Em7]belong.[Cadd9]
And Now i'm asking [G]questions[G/F#]
No one pushes me [Em7]around.[Cadd9]
[G]Everybody feels this way [G/F#]somtimes
[Em7]Everybody feels this [Cadd9]way
And I [D]do[D][G]
You can [G]hear but I [D]do.[D][G]
You don't seem [G]angry but I [Am][C]do.[C][Am]
I [D]do.[D][G]
I [G][D]do.[D][G]

Falling in Love
[D] [G] [D] [G]
[D]She wanted to be a cowboy
She was [G]shootin'em down
She was [D]trampin' around[G]
[D]He walked in crooked with the clear blue eyes [G] [D] mmm hmmm[G]
[Em]"There's a nice pool in my motel, [D]nwant to go for a swim?"
[Em]
[A]That night he moved in.
[D] [G] [D] [G]
[Em]The time between meeting and [G]finally leaving is
[D]sometimes called falling in[G] love
[Em]The time between meeting and [G]finally leaving is
[D]sometimes called falling in love[G]
[D]At night she'd wait for the sound of his feet on the door [G]mat
the sound of his hand on the door knob[D]
the sound of her heart beating in her head[G]
[D]He'd go out playing nickel slots cause he[G] knew he'd loose
She didn't [D]know so she couldn't choose[G]
[Bm]But one night while sleeping [F#]alone in her bed
the [G]phone rang, she woke up and [D]sat up and said,
"What [Em]time is it?, [A] What time is it?"
"Well it's [Bm]5:30 here and it's [F#]2:30 there and I
[G]won't be home tonight" [D]he said
The [Em]time between meeting and [G]finally leaving is
[D]sometimes called falling in [G]love
The [Em]time between meeting and [G]finally leaving is
[D]sometimes called falling in love[G]
[D]Now she sits in a booth in a diner, [G]waiting for someone to take her
order
[D]waiting for someone to come and sit down.[G]
[D]She rubs the smudge off the [G]photograph, put's it back in her purse.
[D] [G]
The [Em]grey sky was romantic cause he was [D]holding her hand
[Em]He was her man.[A]
[Em]The time between meeting and [G]finally leaving is
[D]sometimes called falling in [G]love
The [Em]time between meeting and [G]finally leaving is
[D]sometimes called falling in love[G]
[D]Sometimes called faling in love[G]
[D] [G] [D] [G]
[D]She wanted to be a cowboy
She was [G]shootin'em down
She was [D]trampin' around[G]

Wishing Heart
No[E] teacher to follow, no[Asus2] prophet to tell me how,
But I [E]know what I want, I [Asus2]know what I want now.
Like [E]water, it rushes,
it's the [Asus2]last thing you see when you close [E]your eyes,
it's the one[E] place you want to be.
But if it [Asus2]doesn't brush my shoulder, and it [Badd4]doesn't beat my heart,
[E]that's not what I want, no that's not[Badd4] where I will start.
I [Asus2]never kissed somebody so that [Badd4]they would break my heart,
[Asus2]that's not what I [A#4sus2]want.[A5sus2]
If you don't know what you're missing
cause you [Asus2]don't know where to start,
[Asus2]follow your wishing heart.
I was restless,
I was restless,
[Asus2]I was restless,
I was restless.
I just want this to be good,
I just [Asus2]want this to be good.
but[E] you don't understand,
you [Asus2]don't understand me, and[E] I want to be [Asus2]understood.
But if it [Asus2]doesn't brush my shoulder,
and it [Badd4]doesn't beat my heart,
[E]that's not what I want, no, that's not[Asus2] where I will start.
I [Asus2]never kissed somebody so that [Badd4]they would break my heart,
[Asus2]that's not what I [A#4sus2]want.[A5sus2]
And if we all leap before we crawl, we might fall,
and it's not [E]always candy [Asus2]spun from head to [E]heart,
and it's not [E]always meant to be,[Asus2]
and it's not always up to me.
But if it [Asus2]doesn't brush my shoulders, and it [Badd4]doesn't beat my heart.
[E]that's not what I want, no that's not[Asus2] where I will start.
I [Asus2]never kissed somebody so that [Badd4]they would break my heart,
[Asus2]that's not what I want, no,[A#4sus2] no[A5sus2]
But if it [Asus2]doesn't brush my shoulders, and it [Badd4]doesn't beat my heart.
[E]that's not what I want, no that's not[Asus2] where I will start.
I [Asus2]never kissed somebody so that [Badd4]they would break my heart,
[Asus2]that's not what I want, no,[A#4sus2] no[A5sus2]
[Asus2] [Badd4] [E] [Asus2]
[Asus2] [Badd4] [Asus2] [A#4sus2] [A5sus2]
[Asus2]If you don't know what you're missing,
cause you don't know where to start,
[Asus2]you don't know what you're missing[Badd4]
follow your wishing heart.

Even [Dm]insects buzz like [G]airplanes, why can't [Am]we fly [A]away?
I'm going as far as I can go.
(Now it does the same pattern as before but a whole step up)
(Use all bar chords)
[A] Your dad died, cause [D]his heart [D]hurt, arking away his [Bm]forty-five years,
dragging your [A]mom along.
I [D]don't want that, [D]neither do you. Neither do [Bm]you.
If [A]I am not fun, and [D]I am not interesting,
[D]perhaps I am not interested in [Bm]you, [A] [D]niether are you.
[Em] You can't [Em]stand in front of an [Bm]oven, cause it's warm,
and the fumes are dangerous.
[Em] [A] [D] [Bm]
I'm going as far as I can go.
Away from [E]here, away from [C#m]you, Jake,
and the [B]hole you've sunk me [E]into.
[C#m] I [B]wish that I could belong [E]here, with you, and just [E]be.
[C#m] but that's not [B]all that I'm [E]about to do.

Firecracker
[B5] [G] [A] [B5]
You want to suffer to show me your angry
Fight with your fists up or call for your mummy
You want to suffer to show me your angry
Spend time alone find a stick in the basement
Drink water & gold dust and live on impatience
Slaughtered for weakness electric like static
Slaughtered your weak there's no need to speak
You change your shoelaces, I light firecrackers
You step on the spark
You change your sholaces, I light firecrackers
I shouldn't be any inspiration
I never got in your way
I should never have to chase you
I was the one who got away
If you could feel the pain your confusion has caused me
You would have stopped before you spoke
Listening to lies, the pain does'nt suit me
The gift that you gace me, I put it away
I could'nt look at it, made me think of you
You get in the way
You change your shoelaces, I light firecrackers
You step on the spark
You change your sholaces, I light firecrackers
Spend time alone, find a stick in the basement
Drink water and gold dust and die of impatience
Electric liek static, and no need to speak
It's not right, but it's not wrong
So I wrote this song
I wrote this song - is that what you want
You got what you wnat - does it make you feel better?
With a smirk on your face and a gun at my head
You come to my place and ask to be fed
You change your shoelaces, I light firecrackers
You step on the spark
You change your sholaces, I light firecrackers
You get in the way
You get in the way
You want to suffer and show me you're angry
Fight with your fists up or call for your mommy
You want to suffer and show me you're angry
