V1 - G Em C G / G C Em G / G Em C G / Em C G
Said that I was hiding away, gotta take it back to my corpse
Kept my eyes closed all the way from the road where we left off
Thought that I was finding faith, I took a lesson from your course
Well obviously waiting all's not lost
B - Em G / Em G / Em C Am G
Happiness is finding a place, happiness is finding a way
Digging up and building to the sun
V2
I had my nightmare last night, gotta show you all once again
Had to learn a lesson hard about making all those friends
Second guessing – I'm on a mission – failed to meet your targets
Kicking out and vacuming your soul
B same ex last / Em C D Am(hold) G
But happiness is sliding away, Second guessing is finding favour
Ammunition piling to the sun
INST. Break G Em
V3 (SOFT)
Thought that I was loosing face, a deep breath was all it was
Feels like I been chasing grace, try'na get you back into my court
Seems I should be changing my ways, that's where belief has got
Now I'm looking for the ghost of all that was
B (softer)
and happiness is finding a place
Second guessing, losing my way
Happiness is finding faith
…...................building a place in the sun

The One That Cries

Bodecia
Well you are the one who cries no more
Well you are the one that flies no more
You are the one that dies no more
Into your eyes now, no more
Heading back, you know it's on the way
And you've gotta find it for the day
Still you see, you know it's peace of mind
Heading back, you know it's on the plane
And you've gotta find it for the day
Still you see, you know it's peace of mind
Saying all the wrong things now, go
You know, you know, you know
You are the one that cries.....
No more
(Little break)
East of the wind there was a shelter to be found
Right size, for the bottle – and it's a-blowing in your heart strings
East of the Berlin there was a shelter to be found
Right size, for the 'ella – and it's a-blowing in your heart strings
and it's a blowing in your heart strings x rpt
(Comes in louder with run)
With Bodecia and her raving army, you weren't careful oh
Like Bodecia, now she's running from me, you don't care about us
I just wanna see her, in her raving army, you weren't careful oh!
Just like Bodecia, though she's running from me, you weren't careful, no!

Homespun
06:05
|

Taking hours – down with the flowers
Caught in a downward spin
Calling nowhere – where we know where
Cor we were meant to win – make boys and men
C G D A Basic rtm
CH
And it's all been homespun – and it's nothing to be proud of
You'll run home again – but that nothing to get down about
You're in the new wave grip
(So don't slip.)
Wasting hours – round all the houses
Sure, we are meant to grin
Till we know one day – fought all the galaxies
Fought off the galaxies and won
C G D A Dynamic rtm
CH
And it's all been homespun – within your homespun eyes dear
We all make mistakes – but that nothing to get down with
We're going nowhere – but you know where to excite me (alt mel.) c# d f# a d b
You're in the new age grip – but it's starting to make you sick
Just remember
INST BREAK (COME IN SOFT)
Here we go again – off to the paddy-fields
Work off your debt now my friend
And we all know – it's a big no, no, no
To call out your problems loud and clear
Melody over chorus chords
CH
ALT MelODY, see HSPN4
And it's all been all been homespun – and it's nothing to be proud of
You'l run home again – sent softly to the night with tears
We all make mistakes – but please not for the sake of dreams
Please remember – it's nothing to be sad with
Just come home now.

In The Darkness

Intro – CH x 1
V - x3 E D A9 E9
We, we seem to like, we're asleep Just for a while, but not for long.
Long lost show lost long ago Bidding for release A reflection, an echo
I, I , I it steals the light and the tool just speaks and the eyes don't see
CH x2
In the darkness we will find ourselves But it's too intense
In the quietness we will find our health Made for a rest
V x 3
Reaping all just for ourselves
In a life of lust and promise just ahead
Taking what we forgot was there
But trust, trust in life
to be on it's side
When all seems rife
it has its own disguise
For the life will come again
sure as it understands
CH x2
In the darkness we will find ourselves And for the rest 0 just acquiesce
In the hardness we will find our wealth but it's too intense.... end on B-7
Instrumental
C A x2/ F E x2/ C D x2/ Eb Baug /
CH x4 (first 2 continue instrumental)
In the darkness we will find ourselves But it's too intense
In the quietness we will find our health Made for a rest
V x 3 (first one no vocal)
Time forgets whatever's there
and fills with space and light
for the light that is your night
Long way, long hard way to go
for a release – if you don't know why
all the beautiful lies
sink.

When you know, you know, then you'll obfiscate
And know exactly what you want them all to think
It's a day for disguise yes it saves your pride
But you'll take them all with a wink

to the trouble that you see

Verse: /D-7/D7/Ehdim>BbM/Am>C7/
Have you been the best and famous, have you been a thing at all?

(follow melody here)
Verse > Solo

So do everything, and everyone, cos I don't care, anymore – You've lost my body and my mind
V
Have you been blessed with magic, have you had an easy ride
We know you're only on your side.
I think it's just best if we left it, I'm feeling a little exposed
Now we're knowing of your ways and kind – but I just wish I had a little more time.

The king and queen sat down forever with
All the tawdry sordid maids
Hide and seek cos the season's changing
Yeah you know well we hardly made it
Ditest them now together
cos we haven't got one to lose
Sell your soul now the times are changing
Hearts what they tortured, seeds from the gathered one Am (G>) F
Arrest them now said everyone
cos we know we were born to die
situations on fire and we're feeling that
hearts what they taught them, seeds for the gathered, meat for the gallowes, that's for the other
Am C D 500 Eb 652
Instrumental (loose) F#dim 435 / F#M / Em 240(>1)

If you see you're the only one
Bring back the crown and majesty
cos I'm the only long lost son
hide and seek 'cos the seasons changing
hearts for your tortured, spades for the other

V
Centuries gone- lost in time
I've been locked on - truth be mine
I been washed out - I been shamed
I've been waiting for you
Give me resource - Give me power
I been laid lost - In the shower (on the hour)
Of the wasted days - I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I see you waiting - in the tower
I got laid down - on the hour
Surely shaking now - cos I grow tired of you
all these waking days - I been shaping to shoot
I been waiting for you
CH – different vibe
Sent your reasons I know that i'm free i've gotta find something out
Seen your reasons I know what I'm feeling gotta shake it all out
I'm still here and I know it's doubtful, waking up and with a shout
The shadows warning I'm interfering gotta find all out
V
My shadow's walking - I'm interfering - I've gotta wake up now
The situation – where you've made gains
Games ain't for the sound - Of the hit parade
Surely shaking now – cos I'm in fear of you
With all these things laid out, Well the truth you knew.
CH
Centuries that you meant to me gotta wake up now
Gravity is a long melody gotta find out now
With out a thought for the lessons I hear I gotta find something out
The more I'm shouting the less I'm believing gotta find out now, gotta find all out, I gonna wake up now, I gotta find out now
Instrumental
Woo, hoo who ho oh a oo oo wo oh woh

Ever happy, I can see that you're lying, Got the joint, got that look in your eye

Taste tomorrow, it tastes of the sky, To challenge all and the wealth of lies
V
High white tiger, your timing is great, You've got eyes and you've got the debate
Rall throughout
I'm ever eager just to sample your pride, Wait tomorrow till the end of time
B Play very slow, speed up throughout

And we look the other way And it's OK today, K today

Have a swing or two and now you're king of the jungle!
Fast vocal
Now you're king of the jungle well you're living with your hands up sleeping with your pants down, Now you give it the fumble well it's not the right time to be bleeding with your new sound
King of the jungle, King of the jungle
Now you're king of the jungle ah wooo ohh x 4 old way

V
I've fucked up, I've lost control again.
Thinking you'd be down with this – but we're just friends.
I can't see anyone around here – who looks a lot like.....
I don't think anyone would doubt me, because it seems like
B
I'm not bothered – can't hide it – turning up but I know you wanna spite me
I'm scared now and I can't comply – sitting up and I'm looking wry
Cos you're ramping up with this new obsession, looking down on your failed missions
Taking your time and you're getting wasted, procrastinating and cultivating,
When your partied out but you keep the receipt, and you pick it all to pieces but it's damaging your confidence now.
V
I've lost it, if I had it once at all
Thinking all around this, could take a year or two
Believe me, it's dangerous – to carry on like this you'll be famous
You don't go giving me those eyes now – and the deny it
B
Now I'm open wide and you're telling lies and I can't imagine that you've so denied all the obvious reaches of your new endeavours, with your secret lusts and your hidden pleasures
Cos you're sick and tired of the ones that you love giving obvious answers to the things you thought you never would say.. Oh no! I've fucked things up again Oh no, Oh no
C
When you know, then you'll know , that's what everybody says – but to you it's all a game dear.
Although you'll know so so, it feels good feels bad can't say - now you'll know you have been framed here x 2 C/D Bumping round the houses
I screwed up, I fucked things up with you.
Thinking I'd be down with this - Because I look like...
Although we're scared of missing out now – the way it is these days
I can't be wasting more time here – but I've noticed that
B G A Bb C D
you're going quiet, cos you can't believe that it's catching up cos you can't deceive all your self
Eb F (getting shouty) G A
denial was all the while and you got your way but you're backwards now with your bleeding heart
Bb C D (continue shouty vibe in first part of CH)
but how could someone else believe you now?
C And you know x 4
When you know, you will know , that's what everybody says –but now I know it's all a game to you
Although you'll know so so, it feels good feels bad can't say - and you'll know you have been framed dear
When you'll go, then we'll know , now there's nothing left to say–even though you are my favourite.
When you go and so so, looks good feels bad can I say? That it's something I'm ashamed about x 2 C/D Running round the houses
