Would you go to war for me, baby Would you cry for the weak And die for the peace of men
Oh how can we know You and I both know So let's make this boatload of excuses burn and singÂ
Pre-Chorus
One day it all comes down to this You can sink or swim You can handle thisÂ
One day it all comes down One day we all go downÂ
I'll take my heart back And set the people freeÂ
I'll leave the dead to die And take what's coming with meÂ
Step back for all the world to see Your life means all the world to meÂ
I'll take your pain and suffering I'm such a sucker sometimesÂ
Sometimes we don't know So plug up those bullet holes Oh you feel so close, don't let go until
I sayÂ
One day we'll drink to this and say Remember when we died we went out in flamesÂ
One day weâ??ll drink to this and say Remember when we died we went out
(Chorus)
I'll take my heart back And set the people free There will be blood in the streets
(Chorus x2)
Flight of Kings
Intro: Em- D-C-Bm-Am-Bm-C-D- x2
Twenty two years have passed by As I contemplate
I can recall you getting me out of every scrape
What comes first to my mind Was the change that I so desperately needed to make
Pre-Chorus
Day and night, frozen silent in blinding violent fear
A song for my fight Comes spilling the words I so desperately needed to hear
Do you know this song's for you?
My heart goes out to hurt you feel inside
verse 2: same chords as verse 1
I was brought up through the ashes Like a phoenix birthing wings
And I will fight for my disasters I will take the flight of kings
And if your life is ever torched Or if you know the pain I sing
(Music Cuts off)
(Chorus x2)
Who Needs Air
I long to taste adventure like the nature of the sea,
Always moving, always hiding all the creatures from beneath.
Singing silent songs of sadness my heart waits for its chance,
To dance upon the ashes of my burned up little plans.
Pre-Chorus
And I stand alone before the night. My nakedness is so clear in the glow of the moonlight.
Life is old, but so short. We are young, we want more.
I'm drowning, but I don't care, Because when you got what I got, what I got, what I got
Who needs air? I donâ??t need air.
My addiction to danger like the rush of the sea, Like a wave on the rocks the lessons crash down on me.
I donâ??t need to prove the world to you only to myself. So step back and look away as I
dive into the swell.
Take me down to the river like a little child, Take my hand and tell me itâ??s okay to be wild.
I never knew the world until I saw through your eyes, I never knew myself until I ripped off my
disguise.
Iâ??m drowning (I have come to the realization that)
but I donâ??t care (life is more than what I have accomplished and)
Because when you got what I got what I got (life is more than the realization that)
Who needs air? (we have accomplished nothing at all)
(Chorus)
You donâ??t need airâ?¦
Blisters and Coffee
Intro
(Bass Lead)
A couple of years and I'm a silhouette My halo is broken now and I'm all that's leftÂ
I hate to disappoint but it's the way things went I was bound to the things I didÂ
And after what was saidÂ
Tie up these loose ends These voices are calling me outÂ
I've got the solution You can feed me to something That is leaving this doubtÂ
Whoa, I'm losing hope There's a hole in my heart That's been cut out of stoneÂ
Whoa, cold comes cold goes Could you fill this hole? Cause I can't do it aloneÂ
A couple of tears and I'm a broken mess The sadness has taken me far too deep in regretÂ
So sing me a song about something good My heart's on the thrashing floorÂ
And I've done every single thing I couldÂ
I use to believe in Some kind of feelin' That could change everything I thought I knewÂ
But that door is closed and My heart feels like it's frozen If you hear me I can feel youÂ
(Chorus)Â
The coldest heart can be brought to lifeÂ
When it's thrown into the fire of goodbyes x4
(Chorus 2x)Â
I've got the coldest heart (4x)Â
All the Memories
I Canâ??t stop killing songs you like,
You look at me with eyes that could beat the sunrise in a contest, no question
Weâ??ll talk to all the others and bring me back to Earth, Iâ??m thankful for your mother for what
Iâ??ts worth
All the memories we had, framed in our minds like photographs, Take a Second take a second to
make this last
Here where the future is the past, I can never fall in love again, I can never fall in love again
verse 2: Same Chords as verse 1
I canâ?? t stop moving cause I feel dead,
Iâ??ll Drink your poison and say, Iâ??m still not going away,
Iâ??ll swallow all youre bombs and grenades, and love you like a tsunami wave
Wave, wave Wave
(Chorus)
Oh, all the memories, framed in our minds, take a second take a second
And make this last, here for a while I can never fall in love again, I can never fall in love
again x2
I had months to write a song That captured who you are
But I fear I have done you wrong Because I've failed you so far
The chord that struck, an angel fell The sky went dark and it all comes down
The choices made, the lies forgotten Oh, well
Pre-Chorus The lead is just here
I would give everything for some hope
Are you different, could I be different too?
Nobody knows you, nobody knows you like I do
There's a song outside my window And it plays to your tune
And there's a life inside this pencil And it lives for what is true
Cause I am lost for words, the cost for her Was way to much to bear
You're not perfect, but I don't care
Bridge: just a lead and bass
(Say the word)
Are you different, could I be different too?
Nobody knows you, nobody knows you like I do
(Intro for who knows how long)
I know it cuts you inside every time that you try
To take a pathway in life that leaves you so unobliged Every promise is lies, every smile makes
you cry
Leaves you so unalive, so unalive
I wish I could take the fall Maybe by that I could solve
The problems we're all having It's been a while since you've felt like you've been home
Your life's just flesh and bone
Pre-Chorus
Your heart is worth more than you know
The one thing that hurts more than your life
Is to wake up one more time alone
It's to wake up one more time alive
So take us in, we'll stop you dead We'll show you something you won't ever forget
This life's a road, no place is home My heart's a hole That needs to constantly be filled with
love
This time it's all that I've got
Words hit the page like gunshots
My stomach's left in a knot My pride is left here to rot
It's been a while since I've felt this restless
By definition it's depressing but I'm alright
It kills to wake up one more time alone It kills to wake up one more time alive
(Chorus)
I know the feeling of being all alone So let's drink to fact that we're not
I know the feeling of being all alone So let's drink to fact that we're not
(Chorus)
It couldn't be more far from the truth
If you could do to me the things you would do
And I know you're on to me I'm watching you wanting me
You hung down the rebels and punish them wrongfully You came with fire and weapons to kill
A warrior poet once said You're not dead yet
so live like you could be
A warrior poet said Have no regrets when you're old
Have no regrets when you're old
I'm not looking for you to be anything
But my ultimate enemy So back off, you're not what I would prefer to see
When my body rots I still won't give you the courtesy
(Lead)
When your body wants to runÂ
But your heart knows you're better than that
The blood you spilled on battlefields I promise you will not go unspent
Neither will I leave you stranded The promise rings as our battle cry
You're never alone regardless of doubt But faith comes so easy to some
Better luck next time, better luck next time Watch as the teargas burns my eyes It burns my eyes
(Chorus)
If you listen to the sound of the hope In the children's voices asking questions
You'll know how blindness is a blessing
But I know your type, you're always right, your tongue controls your mind
But I guess life's the lesson
Pre-Chorus
If they said 40 years I would die before
CÂ
And now the time has come to cut our tongues out
And commit ourselves as you did in your memoryÂ
We'll tear down the walls and let them knowÂ
We could have it all, we could have some hope
This city could be ours by nightfall
Do you hear the war drums beating? Are you truly happy doing nothing, darling?
I need to find the center
Because love is something right, it's not cooked up overnight In sticky situations you try
But less is more forever (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus x2)
The minute I was born, you stole my heart
The minute I was born, you stole my heart
The minute I was born, you stole my heart
The minute I was born, the minute I was born
(Chorus x2 palm mute the first time through then play it normally)
We All Look Elsewhere
Lost sense (Of) direction , nobody knows my name,
Confidence, correction donâ??t know how to play that game
Straight line is quicker. Straight line would make me fast
Iâ??ve burned my nose enough to know straight lines never last
Pre-Chorus
Swallow your soul. drink from this life. As you choke on your pride
We all look elsewhere x2
(Interlude)
Donâ??t waste your time if youâ??ve got it, the tides are turning now, you are not alone
They gave you their worst and you bought it. The lie has been exposed. You are not alone
Winter that comes quick in early September
The rain clouds that washed me are what I remember
The stones that I threw piled high like a mountain
Which I had to climb before I reached the fountain
If life is a riddle then riddle me this: the blood tasted sweet as it passed by my lips
Donâ??t, donâ??t waste your time , donâ??t, donâ??t waste your time. Donâ??t waste your time
(Chorus 2)
Headlights
A summer drive away from dying
a broken heart nothing to lose.
And I wrote this note about someone I used to know
so I'd remember how life can be so short when your left alone to wonder
` E
I know your cold but come home.
It's a shame how short we all have come.
You set your mind on cruise control
knuckles grip the wheel in fear to let it go.
Love is empty,love is cruel,
love it blindly breaks the rules.
How could you have been a fool?
It's something all of us go through.
You choke back tears and swallow lies
but those wiper blades won't fix your eyes,
count on having clouded vision for at least a little while. (Chorus)
And I know you're cold but come home.
Please don't face the headlights of the oncoming cars alone
We wont forget the past.
We wont forget the past. (And I know you're cold)
Say all the answers and I will let you go
I wont look back
and I wont look back.
Say all the answers
and I will let you go.
I will let you go.
I will let you go
Say all the answers and I will let you go
I won't look back
I won't look back
Say all the answers and I will let you go
I will let you go
I will let you go.
