2.) Lights And Sounds

Hello, you, how was the rest?

You made it through, but nevertheless

I got you out on a wire.

You be love and I’ll be a liar.

Tell it all and fill up the air,

But make it loud cause nobody’s there

And nobody’s there

And nobody’s there

Stop, turn, take a look around

At all the lights and sounds.

Let them bring you in.

Slow burn, let it all fade out,

Pull the curtain down.

I wonder where you’ve been?

Make it new, but stay in the lines.

Just let go, but keep it inside.

Smile big for everyone,

Even when you know what they’ve done.

They gave you the end but not where to start;

Not how to build, how to tear it apart.

So tell it all and fill up the air,

But make it loud cause nobody’s there

And nobody’s there

And nobody’s there

[chorus]

I’ve got a way to work this out,

I’ve got a way and you know how. [x7]

[chorus]

You earned everything you found,

And painted faces frown.

I'll say I knew you when...

Verse #1:

Left the ground in black and white

The colors all around

I know by now, the margin's slight

And still I can't get out

Can’t let her go

It's who you know

We came down to watch the world walk by

And all she found was trouble in my eyes

From the sky she pulled me down tonight

Let her go, let her go

Verse #2:

She moves fast, takes control

And like a heart attack I know I can't turn back

And time just passed, nights moved slow

And she was all I had

I thought I’d never last

Can’t let her go

It's who you know

Jimmy wasn't

really popular

He had a couple of

friends back home

Sooner or later they're

of the Ivy League

Since he was

only 3 feet tall

Get the hell out

of Jersey and then

He would never

look back at all

And then you hear them

say That miles away

We lost another one

that we sent with a gun

They're gonna miss him

he was two weeks from twenty

And there's still no shame

From the man to blame

Verse 2:

Jimmy never had

a reason to stay

Cause all the

factories shut down

All he had was

a line for his name

So he could sign away

his right to be proud

He tried to kiss her

on the way out the door

But she just put her

little hand on his face

I don't understand why

you're leaving she said

But I hope you're

gonna ask me to wait

9.) Martin Sheen Or JFK

Key: D

Here it is

One more grasp for these broken hands

Goes down for you

I'm falling in

I sink then swallow

I never meant

To see this through

[Chorus]

I'm taking a road

I'm taking a road back for good

To a place where I know that I'm safe

Then I can fall

Then I can fall where I should

In this puddle with all my mistakes

All the days

Since I've landed

I've lost the way

To find my place

Float away

And leave me stranded

What's left to say

I've hurt for you

[Chorus]

I could sleep

But when I wake here

You'll still be gone

And you're my air

I could breathe

If you would've stay here

Another song

So I could stay

I could sleep

But when I wake here

You'll still be gone

And you're my air

I could breathe

If you would've stay here

Another song

So I could stay

[Chorus X2]

EADGBe tuning:

Drop D tuning:

The whole world was sleeping and i was there

you could just sense this feeling in the air

like no one's words were good enough

to define what we fear

and no one's words were strong enough

to fix what happened here oh oh

lead on to save me lead us all there

find me some answers one nation beware

can't tell the difference between myth and man

or what's necessary or where i should stand

The whole world is different now men have died

you could just sense this feeling in our eyes

like no one's hands are big enough

to hold on to this fear

and no one's hands are strong enough

to fix what happened here

lead on to save me lead us all there

find me some answers one nation beware

can't tell the difference between myth and man

or what's necessary or where i should stand

So do we dare now

raise our voices loud

we're searching for something that cannot be found

i hear open mouths

and i see open hands

- Bb - (repeat)

but the blinded and silent i can't understand

the whole world is watching with one blank stare

i could just sense this feeling of ill repair

like no one's heart is full enough

to keep away this fear

and no one's heart is strong enough

to fix what happened here

lead on to save me lead us all there

find me some answers one nation beware

can't tell the difference between myth and man

or what's necessary or where i should stand

So do we dare now

raise our voices loud

we're searching for something that cannot be found

i hear open mouths

and i see open hands
