~INTRO~

~VERSE~

There's a fracture in the color bar

In the backseat of a parked car

By the liquor store where the street light

Keep you company 'til the next night

In the same town there's the same scar

In the same glow of the liquor store

By the freeway where the headlight

Keep her company 'til the next night

~CHORUS~

Oh! gravity why can't we seem to keep it together

Sons of my enemies why can't we seem to keep it together

~INTERLUDE~ A D A X X X

X X X

~VERSE~

In the back room of the pentagon

There's a thin man with a line drawn

With a red jaw and a red bite

Watch the headline on the next night

Why this tragedy why can't we seem to keep it together

Oh gravity why can't we seem to pull it together

~BRIDGE~

In the fallout the fallout we found out the hype wont get you through

We're connected connected I meant it the hype wont get you through through

~OUTRO-CHORUS~

Oh gravity why can't we seem to keep it together

Oh gravity why can't we seem to pull it together

Why this tragedy why can't we seem to keep it together

Oh gravity why can't we seem to pull it together

~INTRO~

~VERSE~

When success is equated with excess

The ambition for excess wrecks us

The top of the mind becomes the bottom line

When success is equated with excess

If your time ain't been nothing for money

I start to feel really bad for your honey

Maybe honey put your money where your mouth's been running

If your time ain't been nothing but money

~PRE-CHORUS~

I want out of this machine it doesn't feel like freedom

~CHORUS~

This ain't my American dream

I want to live and die for bigger things

I'm tired of fighting for just me

This ain't my American dream

~INTERLUDE~

~VERSE 2~

When success is equated with excess

When you're fighting for the Beamer the Lexus

As the heart and soul breathe in the company goals

Where success is equated with excess

~BRIDGE~

'Cause baby's always talkin' 'bout a ring

And talk has always been the cheapest thing

Is it true would you do what I want you to

If I show up with the right amount of bling

Like a puppet on a monetary string

Maybe we've been caught singing red white blue and green

N.C

But that ain't my America

That ain't my American dream

3.DIRTY SECOND HANDS SWITCHFOOT

Tuning:Drop D tuning(D-A-D-G-B-E)

*Chords listed at end

~INTRO~

I tabbed this out because there are no chords.

NOTE:If you don't want to play any riffs, you can play D5/A for the entire

intro.

~VERSE~

Please don't be so naive

You know you're not foo-ling anyone

You're not as tough as you think

With dirty second hands the dirty second hands

Can't get nothing for free

It becomes so predictable

You start fighting to breathe

The dirty second hands your dirty second hands

~CHORUS~

Here's the face of everything that brakes you down

But now you face the face of everything that brakes you down

~VERSE~ (Chords are the same as verse 1)

With an army of me

We invent our own enemies

Man versus machine

And the dirty second hands the dirty second hands

In the land of the free

And the home of the remedy

The old clock is a thief

With dirty second hands with dirty second hands

~BRIDGE~ NOTE:You keep repeating the intro riff all the way through

The bridge, until the chords come in, or you can just play D5/A throughout.

Are you really as tough as you think

You blink and you're over the brink

You bleed but the blood runs pink

With dirty second hands dirty second hands

You're not quite as tough as you thought

You bought the American rot

The very seed that you thought you shot

With dirty second hands dirty second hands

You might be right the fight might be right inside you

The blind leading the lied to

Tonight maybe you bind you with dirty second hands

Here's the face of everything that brakes you down

You bind you with dirty second hands

Now you face the face of everything that brakes you down

You bind you with dirty second hands

Now you face the face of everything that brakes you down

~OUTRO~

Play the intro riff once, and then end on D5/A.

~VERSE~

Face down with the L.A curbside endings

With the ones and zeros

Downtown was the perfect place to hide

The first star that I saw last night was a headlight

Of a man made sky but

Man made never made our dreams collide collide

~CHORUS~

Here we are now with the falling sky and the rain we're awakening

Here we are now with our desp'rate youth and the pain we're awakening

Maybe it's called ambition you've been talking in your sleep

About a dream (we're awakening) NOTE:Only sing the lines in the parentheses

the first time.

~VERSE~

Last week found me living for nothing but deadlines

With my deadbeat sky but

This town doesn't look the same tonight

These dreams started singing to me out of no where

And in all my life I

Don't know if I've ever felt so alive alive

~BRIDGE~

We're awakening

I want to wake up kicking and screaming

I want to wake up kicking and screaming

I want to now that my heart's still beating

It's beating I'm bleeding

I want to wake up kicking and screaming

I want to live like I know what I'm leaving

I want to know that my hearts still beating

It's beating it's beating it's beating

N.C

I'm bleeding

~OUTRO~

We're awakening dream

We're awakening yeah!

The A's in parentheses are optional.

~INTRO~

~VERSE 1~

Everyone I know needs love like drugs

Like a common cold we could never shrug

My baby and me we're missing the same stuff

We've all got a disease deficiency of love

~PRE-CHORUS~

Every day we still try every night we still cry

Driving home on the 805

We don't know what we're doing lets do it again

Lets do it again

~VERSE 2~

We try to play it down but it never stuck

Every day we still try every night we still cry

We drive it home on the 405

~VERSE~

This one's about a dream I had last night

How an old man tracked me home and stepped inside

He put his foot inside the door and gave a crooked smile

Something in his eyes something in his laugh

Something in his voice that made my skin crawl off

He said I've seen you here before I know your name

You could have your pick of pretty things

You could have it all everything at once

Everything you've seen everything you'll need

everything you've ever had in fantasies

~INTERLUDE~

You've one life you've one life you've one life left to lead

You've one life you've one life you've one life left to lead

~VERSE 2~

I woke up from my dream as a golden man

With a girl I've never seen with golden skin

I jumped up to my feet she asked me what was wrong

I began to scream I don't think this is me

Is this just a dream or really happening

~CHORUS~

What direction what direction

What direction what direction

I'm splitting up I'm splitting up

This is my personal disaffection

What direction what direction what direction now

~VERSE 3~

I looked outside the glass at golden shores

Golden ships and masts with golden cords

As my refection passed I hated what I saw

My golden eyes were dead and a thought passed through my head

A heart that is made of gold can't really beat at all

~BRIDGE~

I wanted to wake up again

I wanted to wake up again

Without a touch of gold

Without a touch of gold

~CHORUS 2~

G5 P.M

What direction what direction

What direction what direction

Death or action

Life begins at the intersection

What direction what direction what direction now

~VERSE 4~

I woke up as before but the gold was gone

My wife was at the door with her night robe on

My heart beat once or twice and life flooded my veins

Everything had changed my lungs had found their voice

And what was once routine was now the perfect joy

~OUTRO~

You've one life you've one life one life left to lead

You've one life you've one life one life left to lead

8.HEAD OVER HEELS(IN THIS LIFE) SWITCHFOOT

Tuning:Standard

*Chords listed at end

You might want to check the chord inversions at the bottom before you try

playing them, since they are not the normal fingering. Also, the question

mark stands for a chord that I could not find the name for, but it sounded

good, so I didn't try changing it. It is also listed at the end.

~INTRO~

~VERSE~

Head over here and take me

Head over heels and aching

When I told you I was yours I was yours

~CHORUS~

In this life you're the one place I call home

In this life you're the feeling I belong

In this life you're the flower and the thorn

You're everything that's fair in love and war

~VERSE 2~

I'm coming down like a gunshot

In all these battles I've fought

You're the mark I'm aiming for I was yours

~BRIDGE~

And love and war

Head over heels

Head over heels

D(let ring)

In this life I'm stubborn to the core

In this life I've been burning after more

We both know what these open arms are for

You're everything that's fair

~OUTRO-CHORUS~

In this life you're my only one

In this life you're my only one

In this life you're my only one

In this life you're my only one

~VERSE~

Flowers cut and brought inside black cars in a single line

Your family in suits and ties and you're free

The ache I feel inside is where the life has left your eyes

I'm alone for our last goodbye but you're free

~CHORUS~

I remember you like yesterday yesterday

I still can't believe you're gone oh

I remember you like yesterday yesterday

And until I'm with you I'll carry on

~INTERLUDE~

~VERSE 2~

Adrift on your ocean floor I feel weightless numb and sore

A part of you in me is torn and you're free

I woke up from a dream last night I dreamt that you were by my side

Reminding me I still had life in me

~BRIDGE~

I'll carry on

Oh oh

I'll carry on

~OUTRO-CHORUS~

Every lament is a love song yesterday yesterday

I still can't believe you're gone oh

Every lament is a love song yesterday yesterday

Oh so long my friend so long

Tuning:Standard

*Chords listed at end

~INTRO~

~VERSE~

Does it have to start with a broken heart broken dreams and bleeding parts

We were young and the world was clear but young ambition disappears

I swore it would never come to this the average the obvious

I'm still discontented down here I'm still discontented

~CHORUS~

If we only got one try

If we've only got one life

If time was never on our side

Then before I die I want to burn out bright

~INTERLUDE~

~VERSE 2~

D(let ring) A

A spark ignites in time and space limping through this human race

You bite and claw your way back home but you're running the wrong way

The future is a question mark of kerosene and electric sparks

There's still fire in you yet yeah there's still fire in you

~INTERLUDE~

~BRIDGE~

I keep cleaning up the mess I've made

I keep cleaning up the mess I've made

I won't run away

I can't sleep in the bed I've made

I can't sleep in the bed I've made

~OUTRO-CHORUS~

If we only got one try

If we've only got one life

If time was never on our side

Tuning:Standard

*Chords listed at end

~VERSE~

You've been having trouble staying asleep

You've been waking up at 4:12

You roll the voices over in your head

Then you try to put them neatly on the shelf

You watch the sun rise you saw the darkness had no choice before the dawn

With your own eyes and then you broke out laughing from a yawn

You said

~CHORUS~

I'm so sorry I've been so down

I started doubting things could ever turn around

And I began to believe that all we are is material

It's nonsensical

~VERSE 2~

So you walk outside and everything's new

You're looking at the world with new eyes

As if you'd never seen a sky before that's blue

As if you'd never seen a sky in your whole life

And then the phone rings as it turns out you're already late

And now you're wondering was peace just a temporary state

~CHORUS 2~

You're waiting tables and parking cars and

You've been selling cellphones at the shopping mall

And you began to believe that all you are is material

It's nonsensical

~INTERLUDE~

~CHORUS 3~

I'm so sorry I've been so down

I started doubting things could ever turn around

I still can't believe that all we are

And that all of our dreams are nothing more than material

~BRIDGE~

Souls aren't built of stones

Sticks and bones

Oh oh oh oh REPEAT THE OH PART 4 TIMES.

Tuning:Standard

*Chords listed at end

~INTRO~

~VERSE~

In this world of news I've found nothing new

I've found nothing pure

Maybe I'm just idealistic to assume that truth

Could be fact and form that love could be a verb

Maybe I'm just a little misinformed

~INTERLUDE~

~VERSE 2~

As the dead moon rises and the freeways sigh

Let the trains watch over the tides and the mist

Spinning circles in our skies tonight

Let the trucks role in from Los Angeles

Maybe our stars are unanimously tired

~CHORUS~

Let your love be strong and I don't care what goes down

Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud

Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your eyes

All of my world hanging on your love

~INTERLUDE 2~

~VERSE 3~

Let the wars begin Let my strength wear thin

Let my fingers crack let my world fall apart

Train the monkeys on my back to fight

Let it start tonight

When my world explodes when my stars touch the ground

Falling down like broken satellites

~CHORUS~

Let your love be strong and I don't care what goes down

Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud

Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your skies

All that I am hanging on all of my world resting on your love

I hope you enjoy playing all these wonderful songs, and that they don't leave

you disgruntled and upset. As for me, I have enjoyed the many hours spent

tabbing these songs, and I hope that those hours were not spent for not.

Peace, Love, I'm out.
