Living In December
I’ve suspended, the flow of time Am, F
locked myself inside a nursery rhyme Am, F, Em
Frozen frame before the clock strikes twelve Am, F
Tossing coins down a wishing well Am, F, Em
And then It’s shattered, Spinning F, G
Turning on a dime
The feelings taken me F, E
Back to where I really want to be
Wasting all my precious time Am, G, F
Living in December
Trying to keep the fire alive F, E/G, Am
cradling the embers
I wish that I could say goodbye Am, G, F
It’s so hard for me
I’d rather watch the world go by than F, E/G, Am
Face reality
Somewhere off I hear a mission bell
Unwinding gentle threads to break her spell
With sunken eyes, I can almost see
Beyond famished creed consuming me
And then It’s shattered
Spinning, turning on a dime
The feelings taken me
Back to where I really want to be
{Chorus}
My greatest fear is that I’ll fade away
A hungry ghost, a thin disguise
And only thing I could grasp and hold on to
is the way that I can see me in your eyes
In your eyes

Heaven Can Wait

Heaven Can Wait
I can see the northern star Gm, Dm Capo (CMaj7, C#m)
through the misty golden gray
And while you slumber my arms
It doesn't seem so far away
I know you wander in your mind
It's a beautiful escape
Another place another time
On a road that I cant take
------------------------------------------------------
I don't wanna be the one that sold you Gm, D# Capo (Em, C)
I don't wanna be the chain that holds you
I don't wanna break you down to make you stay
----------------------------------------------------------
If Heaven can wait, as constant as stars F,Gm,D#,A# Capo (D,Em,C,G)
I'm here for you now wherever you are
Whatever I am, I offer to you
If Heaven can wait then I can too Gm, Dm Capo (CMaj7, C#m)
-----------------------------------------------------
It's so hard to say goodbye (Echo)
There's so many things to say
But in the heat of my desire
All the words melt away
Again the universe has smiled
A million eyes will test our faith
Watching weaving all the while
Spinning slowly into day
-------------------------------------------------
{Chorus} x2

Because Of You
04:29
|
|||
Because of You
There’s a ragged hole in my world G,Bm, C, D
That I’ve fallen through
Because of you
Because of you
Torn apart and stained by emotion G, Bm, C, D
To a moody blue
Because of you
Because of you
I tried to rise above C, G, D, E
and stop from falling in
But I just lack self discipline
The feeling’s close to me C, G, D, E
The tragic might have been
I wear it like a second skin
Because of You x2 C, G, D
I’ve been begging to the sky C,G
Give me reason, tell me why C, G
Whats purpose of the pain C, G
I’m going through D
Because Of You G
I’ve tried to leave our apartment
just to change the view
Because of You
Because of You
But now I’m lying alone in the darkness
That’s the honest truth
Because of you
Because of you
{pre-chorus}
{chorus}
I guess that someday we could still be friends Am, Bm
And I’ll be stronger in the end Am, D
Because of you

Across The Water
04:30
|

Across the water
I couldn’t give you all I had to give
The love you want, and the life you want to live
It’s ok, I’ll find a way
Across the water
You said you’re leaving
You couldn’t take it anymore
That I should find out, what it is I’m looking for
It’s ok, I’ll find a way
Across the water
------------------------------------------------------
You said you stopped believing
You’d been with someone else
Cause I had stopped believing in myself
-------------------------------------------------------------------
You will never know how much I really hurt that night
I couldn’t even find a single word to say
But being by myself I realized
That you were right
I’ll find a way
Find a way
I’ll find a way
Find a way
Across the water
I stand alone, looking out into the night
The river sparkles under pale city lights
It’s ok, I’ll find a way
Across the water
{Pre-chorus}
{Chorus}
I’m only human
but Iove and illusion
will help me to make it somehow
{Chorus}

Dark Horse
07:14
|

Dark Horse
You’re the half that’s twisted E
hurt, but self inflicted D
Buried deep inside C,D,E
You’re my dark desire E
The child and the lier D
Hiding from the light C,D,E
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I struggle and I try C,D,F,G
just to keep it all inside
But the whisper threatens
to become a cry
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the darkness I can hear the rebel calling E,G,D,A
In a voice I can’t deny - I E,G,D,D
In my blood and bone I feel a fire burning E,G,D,A
Moon’s on the rise C,D,E
Dark horse
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You’re delicious raving
the taste that I’ve been craving
Eating through my mind
You’re the fleshy secret
The one I dare not speak of
crawling up my spine
{Pre-chorus}
{Chorus}
Hell bent or heaven sent Em, B, Em, A
Never very far
Standing in the stillness Em, B, Em, D, A
I see you for what you are
{Possible Lead Break}
{Chorus}

I Die For You
04:17
|
|||
I Die For You
Theres a face, in the dark Dm, Am, Bb, C
I hide from the world outside
And a love that is unspoken
and a heart that has been broken
So I wait
And cry alone at the
New moon rise
And I'm longing for your kiss
And I need to tell you this
I die for you Dm, Am, Bb, C
ohhh, ohhh
I die for you
ohhh, ohhh
I die for you
Theres a voice in the blinding rush of a
world gone by
And it's hope that it is sending
Of a love that's never ending
I've been touched
by the hand fate its a constant friend
But I'd throw it all away
Please believe me when I say
I die for you
ohhh, ohhh
I die for you
ohhh, ohhh
I die for you
Theres a secret place I travel to Bb, C, Dm
and back again
And a soul embrace that heals my faith Bb, C, F7, D, G, Bb
and lingers in my mind
And I...
[Chorus]

Heaven Can Wait
I can see the northern star Gm, Dm Capo (CMaj7, C#m)
through the misty golden gray
And while you slumber my arms
It doesn't seem so far away
I know you wander in your mind
It's a beautiful escape
Another place another time
On a road that I cant take
------------------------------------------------------
I don't wanna be the one that sold you Gm, D# Capo (Em, C)
I don't wanna be the chain that holds you
I don't wanna break you down to make you stay
----------------------------------------------------------
If Heaven can wait, as constant as stars F,Gm,D#,A# Capo (D,Em,C,G)
I'm here for you now wherever you are
Whatever I am, I offer to you
If Heaven can wait then I can too Gm, Dm Capo (CMaj7, C#m)
-----------------------------------------------------
It's so hard to say goodbye (Echo)

All the words melt away
Again the universe has smiled
A million eyes will test our faith

Change your life
4/4
8 bar intro
(Ebm) I heard the (Bbm) sound of laughter (B) die [Ebm, Bbm, B, C#]
(C#) Too soon
(Ebm) And it (Bbm) killed
the after- (B) - noon (C#)

(Ebm) I ate your (Bbm) words
and I (B) swallowed til I (C#) choked
(Ebm) spitting (Bbm) out some
filthy (B) joke (C#)

the taste of (B) morning in my (C#) mouth
(Ebm) and every (Bbm) day
I wash it (B) out (C#)

Into The Night
04:49
|
|||
Into the night
My smile hides the emptiness inside
Somethings taken hold of me
What I was, and not what will become
The journey's ripe to set me free
I've been lying to myself and thats the truth
And consequences steal my youth
Into the night
Going where I've never been
Darkness and light
The sun is gonna rise again
I'll roll the bones
Someday they're gonna grin
I'm goin' to hell
But, I'll back again
Theres a thirst, that burns from deep within
Some would call my mortal sin
If I shed, these eager clothes of hunger
I can touch the world with my new skin
I've been lying to myself and thats the truth
And consequences steal my youth
Chorus
I can feel, the fear wash over me
Racing heart and rising tide
I've had my fill of falling to my knees
Restless heart won't be denied!
I've been lying to myself and thats the truth
And consequences steal my youth
Chorus
I'll be back again
I'll rise again

My Heart Belongs To Me
05:00
|
|||
My Heart Belongs to Me
I'm not standing with my hand held out
(I still want you)
I'm only standing in the rain
(I still need you)
And every drop contains a seed of doubt
(I"ll be here for you)
A piece of me thats torn away
-----------------------------------------
I grew up strong, I never bent or swayed
(We still love you)
The dream that held my father's eyes
(We still need you)
But from my failure comes the slow decay
(We will stand with you)
That cuts me down with compromise
oh,oh,oh my god
--------------------------------------------------------------
[Pre-chorus]
Tension builds
I can feel
Everything so unreal
And I rush, to where the feeling takes me
I don't know, where to go
what to do, It's taking me
------------------------------------------
{Chorus}
Down a road that leads me into the wildest wind (Wildest Wind)
Twist and turn so dark that I can't see
Its your voice that cries, in the middle of my night
That my heart belongs to me
-------------------------------------------------
So many ghosts, so many turned away
Another job, another town
A story etched in lines on every face
That they whisper to me now
[Prechorus]
{Chorus}
------------------------------------------------
When I bend, Will I break? oh,oh,oh
Will the dreamer finally wake?
From the father to the son
I fear this journey has just begun
{Chorus}

Learning To Fly
03:41
|
|||
I've fallen hard
Don't know if I will make it
Head over heels like a clown
I close my eyes
Don't if I can take it
High enough to touch the perfect sky
But never leave the ground
And I'm
I'm counting on a miracle tonight D,A,G
Stepping off a cloud into the sky A,D
Lifted by the strength of my desire A,G,A
I know your kind of love is hard to find Repeat
trying anything to make you mine
And feeling like a bird up on a wire
Learning to fly
I see for miles
But I cannot see tomorrow
You may decide, to let me down
And if cry then I'll gather all my sorrows
and walk away with all the hope
of the love I thought I'd found
I'm counting on a miracle tonight D,A,G
Stepping off a cloud into the sky A,D
Lifted by the strength of my desire A,G,A
I know your kind of love is hard to find Repeat
Trying everything to make you mine
And feeling like a bird up on a wire
Learning to fly
I can touch the sky
now that I'm learning to fly
I can touch the sky
now that I'm learning to fly
I can touch the sky
now that I'm learning to fly
I can touch the sky
now that I'm learning to fly
Learning to fly
Learning to fly

Make it Right
I felt the calm before the storm A,Bbm,D,A,E
A looming silence deeper then I've ever known A,Bbm,D,A,E
And hollow words just blew away
They never had a voice, Never had a say
But swollen words, and platitudes Bbm,D,G
They still mean nothing without you Bbm,A,G
Everytime I see you D,A,Em,G
I wish that I could break through
I'm wanna make it right
I'm wanna make it right
I won't stop believing
Long as my hearts beating
I'm wanna make it right
I'm wanna make it right
Middle aged Romeo
And heaven knows that it hurt you so
And now your just so far away
A million miles from me and further every day
But every time I think of you
I cant help feel the way I do
(Chorus)
I wish that I could find a way
To say the things I needs say
(Chorus)

Home to Stay
I'm racin'g cross the night Fm,D,A,E
a silver bird alight
on the air
Searching for a way
To find the home I knew
To leave the bitter truth
Of this life
For sweeter yesterday

On a wing

A battered dream of youth
And a hope in every
word I pray
Cause if you still believe D,A,E,D
And if you still want me
I've found words I long to say

You can trust and take my hand Bm,E
I will never leave again Bm, D
