X And Yv3

1. Square One

You're in control, is there anywhere you wanna go?

You're in control, is there anything you wanna know?

The future's for discovering

The space in which we're travelling

Interlude: Cm (Synthesizer plays intro)

Refrain:

From the top of the first page

To the end of the last day

From the start in your own way

You just want somebody listening to what you say

It doesn't matter who you are

Verse:

Under the surface trying to break through

Deciphering the codes in you

I need a compass, draw me a map

I'm on the top, I can't get back

Cm -Bb

Whoa...

Refrain: (play refrain chords)

The first line on the first page

To the end of the last page

From the start in your own way

You just want somebody listening to what you say

It doesn't matter who you are

It doesn't matter who you are

You just want

Somebody listening to what you say

Oh, you just want somebody listening to what you say

It doesn't matter who you are

It doesn't matter who you are

(SYNTHESIZER)

Is there anybody out there who

Is lost and hurt and lonely too

Are they bleeding all your colours into one?

and if you come undone

As if you've been run through, some catapult it fired you

You wonder if your chance will ever come

Or if you're stuck in square one...

2. What If

Tuning:EADGBe

Chords are:

What if there was no light

Nothing wrong, nothing right

What if there was no time

And no reason or rhyme

What if you should decide?

That you don’t want be there by your side

That you don’t want me there in your life

What if I got it wrong?

And no poem or song

Could put right what I got wrong

Or make you feel I belong?

And what if you should decide

That you don’t want me there by your side

That you don’t want me there in your life

Ooh, that’s right

Lets take a breath jump over the side

Ooh, that’s right

How can you know it if you don’t even try?

Ooh, that’s right

Every step that you take

Could be your biggest mistake

It could bend or it could break

That’s the risk that you take

And what if you should decide

That you don’t want me there in your life

That you don’t want me there by your side

Ooh, that’s right

Lets take a breath jump over the side

Ooh, that’s right

How can you know it when you don’t even try

Ooh, that’s right

Oooooooooooooo

Ooh, that’s right

Lets take a breath jump over the side

Ooh, that’s right

You know that darkness has turned into light

Ooh that’s right

Oh I wanna talk to you

Eb Gm Bb (adlib)

You can take a picture of something you see

You can climb a ladder up to the sun

Or write a song nobody has sung

Or do something that's never been done

VERSE 2: (play verse 1 chords)

Are you lost or incomplete?

Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?

Tell me how do you feel?

Well I feel like they're

Talking in a language I don't speak and they're talking it to me

REFRAIN:

Eb Gm Bb (adlib)

So you take a picture of something you see

Eb Gm Bb (adlib)

In the future where will I be?

Or write a song nobody has sung

Or do something that's never been done

(Instrumental)

REFRAIN 2: (PLAY REFRAIN 1 CHORDS)

CODA: (play D#-F)

Let's talk

Let's talk

Let's talk

Let's talk

6. VERSE:

Trying hard to speak and

Fighting with my weak hand

Driven to distraction

So part of the plan

When something is broken

And you try to fix it

Trying to repair it

Any way you can

(Synthesizer)

I'm diving off the deep end

You become my best friend

I wanna love you

But I don't know if I can

I know something is broken

And I'm trying to fix it

Trying to repair it

Any way I can

7. Speed of Sound

Verse:

How long before I get in

Before it starts, before I begin?

How long before you decide

Before I know what it feels like?

Where to, where do I go?

If you never try, then you'll never know

How long do I have to climb

Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

Interlude: (play intro chords)

Verse: (play verse chords)

Look up, I look up at night

Planets are moving at the speed of light

Climb up, up in the trees

Every chance that you get is a chance you seize

How long am I gonna stand

With my head stuck under the sand?

I’ll start before I can stop

Before I see things the right way up

Refrain:

All that noise, and all that sound

All those places that I doth found

And birds go flying at the speed of sound

To show you how it all began

Birds came flying from the underground

If you could see it then you'd understand

Interlude: (play intro chords)

Verse: (play verse chords)

Ideas that you'll never find

Or the inventors could never design

The buildings that you put up

Japan and China all lit up

The sign that I couldn't read

Or the light that I couldn't see

Some things you have to believe

But others are puzzles, puzzling me

Refrain:

All that noise, and all that sound

All those places that I doth found

And birds go flying at the speed of sound

To show you how it all began

Birds came flying from the underground

If you could see it then you'd understand

If you could see it then you'd understand

Bridge:

All those signs, I knew what they meant

Some things you can't invent

Some get made, and some get sent

Ooh…

Refrain:

And birds go flying at the speed of sound

To show you how it all began

Birds came flying from the underground

F#m G -A -Bm -C -D

If you could see it then you'd understand

8. A Message

Standard tuning

My song is love

Love to the loveless shown

And it goes up

You don't have to be alone

Your heavy heart

Is made of stone

And it's so hard to see you clearly

You don't have to be on your own

You don't have to be on your own

And I'm not gonna take it back

Well I'm not gonna say I don't mean that

You're the target that I'm aiming at

And I get that message home

My song is love

My song is love, unknown

I'm on fire for you, clearly

You don't have to be alone

You don't have to be on your own

And I'm not gonna take it back

And, I'm not gonna say I don't mean that

You're the target that I'm aiming at

But I'm nothing on my own

Got to get that message home

And I'm not gonna stand and wait

not gonna leave it until it's much too late

On a platform, I'm gonna stand and say

That I'm nothing on my own

And I love you, please come home

My song is love, is love unknown

And I've got to get that message home

You see the world in black and white

No colour or light

You think you'll never get it right

But you're wrong you might

The sky could fall could fall on me

The parting of the seas

But you mean more mean more to me

Than any colour I can see

All you ever wanted was love

But you never looked hard enough

It's never gonna give itself up

And all you ever wanted to be

Living in perfect symmetry

Nothing is as down on Earth as us

as us

You see the world in black and white

Not painted right

You see no meaning to your life

Yes you try

Yes you try

And all you ever wanted was love

But you never looked hard enough

It's never gonna give itself up

And all you ever wanted to be

Living in perfect symmetry

Nothing is as down on this Earth

Don't you want to see it come soon

Floating in a big white balloon

Or given on your own silver spoon

Don't you want to see it come down

Careful throwing your arms around

Saying not a moment too soon

Cause I feel low

Cause I feel low

Oh, yeah I feel low

Oh no

Oh

10. The Hardest Part

And the hardest part

Was letting go, not taking part

It's the hardest part

And the strangest thing

Was waiting for that bell to ring

It was the strangest start

I could feel it go down

Bittersweet I could taste in my mouth

Silver lining the cloud

Oh and I...

I wish that I could work it out

(Interlude: Gm-Eb-Bb-Dm-Gm-Eb-Bb-Dm)

And the hardest part

Was letting go, not taking part

You really broke my heart...oh

And I tried to sing

But I couldn’t think of anything

And that was the hardest part

I could feel it go down

You left the sweetest taste in my mouth

Silver lining the clouds

Oh and I

Oh and I

I wonder what it’s all about

(Interlude: Eb-Bb-F-Eb-Bb-F)

I wonder what it’s all about

(Instrumental: Eb-Bb-F-Eb-F)

Everything I know is wrong

Everything I do, it just comes undone

And everything is torn a part

Oh and it’s the hardest part

That’s the hardest part

Yeah that’s the hardest part

F (Outtro)

That’s the hardest part

11. Swallowed in the sea

You cut me down a tree

And brought it back to me

And that's what made me see

Where I was going wrong

You put me on a shelf

And kept me for yourself

I can only blame myself

You can only blame me

And I could write a song

A hundred miles long

Well, that's where I belong

And you belong to me

And I could write it down

Or spread it all around

Get lost and then get found

Or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line

And hung me out to dry

And darling that's when I

Decided to go to see you

You cut me down to size

And opened up my eyes

Made me realize

What I could not see

And I could write a book

The one they'll say that shook

The world, and then it took

It took it back from me

And I could write it down

Or spread it all around

Get lost and then get found

And you'll come back to me

Not swallowed in the sea

And I could write a song

A hundred miles long

Well, that's where I belong

And you belong with me

The streets you're walking on

A thousand houses long

Well, that's where I belong

And you belong with me

Oh what good is it to live

With nothing left to give

Forget but not forgive

Not loving all you see

Oh the streets you're walking on

A thousand houses long

Well that's where I belong

And you belong with me

Not swallowed in the sea

You belong with me

Not swallowed in the sea

Yeah, you belong with me

Not swallowed in the sea

12. Twisted Logic

Sunlight, opened up my eyes

To see for the first time

You'll open them up

And tonight, rivers will run dry

And not for the first time

Rivers will run

(Interlude: Fm-F#-B-C#-Fm-F#-B-C#)

Hundreds of years in the future

It could be computers

Looking for life on earth

Don't fight for the wrong side

Say what you feel like

Say how you feel

(Interlude: B-C#-Eb-Abm-B-C#-Eb)

You'll go backwards, but then

You'll go forwards again

You'll go backwards, but then

You'll go

(Interlude: Eb-Abm-Abm7-Eb-Abm-Abm7)

Created, then drilled and invaded

If somebody made it

Someone will mess it up

And you are not wrong to

Ask who does this belong to

It belongs to all of us

You'll go backwards, but then

You'll go forwards again

You'll go backwards, but then

you'll go forwards

You'll go backwards, but then

you'll go forwards again

You'll go backwards, but then

You'll go forwards

(Outtro: B-C#-Eb-Abm-B-C#-Eb)
