V1 Oh what it must be like to feel so young to disregard all sound advice about what anyone else has done Oh, what it must be like to have so much time To waste and burn and stretch and grind with your full and thick hairline Chorus Oh, to do it all again and correct all our mistakes No time machine to show us when to avoid all our heartaches Oh to have just one more chance to course-correct these ships to steer ourselves around the rocks and not end up like this. V2 Oh, when will you learn that you’ll never figure it all out? You want to run, your heart it yearns for stuff you don’t know a thing about Oh, what could I say that would be of any use to you? I’ll shut my mouth and try to find a way But you should do the things I was too scared to do Verse A, F#m, A, F#m, E Chorus Bm7, C#m7 (low b), Fmaj7 (no E), E8(?) Bm7, C‹m7 (low b), C Maj7 (no A), C6

Remember back when you were young Is there anything you wish you had done? Found the amazon basin, the source of the nile Or sunrise stoned in Newgrange with dopey smiles When you recall your teenage dreams Is there anything you wish you had seen? The pyramids of Giza, the Eiffel Tower Or the golden gate bridge in it’s golden hour? Chorus Reform the band, get in the van and start working on your demo tape. Rewind your fate It’s not too late to get hammered on an island near Spain Life isn’t short, it’s incredibly long and you can do whatever you want to do. Is this the job you were dreaming about? Where you feel you’ve been turned inside out? The broken copier and no parking spaces You’ve got to get away from these sad, sad cases Mid 8 But let's try to keep within reason there are some things it’s just too late to do parkour seems unlikely, you shouldn’t take it lightly with knees like yours and mine we could get really royally fuuuuuckked uuup! Verse Emaj7, Esus4 (F#) x 2 Amaj7, F#7, Amaj7, Fmaj7, Ab, Chorus Am7, Dm7, Fmaj7, E7 x 2 Fadd9. Gadd9, G#dim, Am add9, FmMaj7, Gsus4-G Mid 8 F, Bb(F), C(F), F Bb, Am7, Dm7 Em6, F, Gsus4, G Ab, Bb

Over & Over 04:16
V1 If I wasn’t scared I’d find a way to say how I feel about you. But the world’s going to end, they say any day I should be brave I’ve got nothing to lose But that doesn’t really sound much like me. CH Last chance now to speak aloud and the words just won’t come out Apocalypse is looming over and I just can’t blurt it out Over and over the world is exploding and we go to work every day. V2 Not long now to go Until the asteroid is here What have I to fear when the end is so near? I guess I’ll just die instead of speaking up to you That’s what I do This is nothing new In fact, it’s really, really on-brand for me Middle 8 What’s the worst that could happen? Nobody would know. One last day of embarrassment I think I could cope But what if the asteroid changed its course and everybody found out that you said ‘No!’? Verse A, D(inv/A), E7, F#m7 Gadd9, Gadd9/F E7, F, G Chorus Am7, D7, Gmaj7, Cmaj7, x 2 G/B, Gm/Bb, G sus2/A, G#dim Em7, F, G Mid 8 Cadd9, Bm7, Am7 x 2 Fmaj7, E7, Dm7, Em7, Fadd9, Fmadd9

Pausing here on the stairs I hold on to the rail. 2 deep breaths and 4 more steps if gravity won’t fail me How could I have known How it would go? So many years between divided by our screens Verse 2 I see you before you see me and I walk on through this rain it feels like a music video from the ’80s How could I have known… Chorus I wanted love to find you where you were hiding and I wanted you to feel that you did the right thing It’s a job too big for superman and you just can’t turn the world around no matter how fast you fly backwards You just won’t make it happen The clockwork universe spins around as the planet tilts and whirls The push and pull of our orbits means asteroids will find us How could I have known… Years from now and I don’t know how to even start to explain The planet’s cooled, the war’s called off and everyone rejoices How far we have come to make it to today How much we’ve done and still feel kind of young Verse G add9, Dm7, Cadd9, B7, Amadd9, Bm7, Cadd9, D7 Em7, Am7 x 2 Bb/D, Cadd9, Bb/D#, C/D CH Bm7, Am7, C/D x 2 G/B, Gm.

Verse 1 There’s an opposite of me somewhere and I know that he’s having fun He’s laughing, entertaining, he’s positively draining and he spends his days out in the sun Verse 2 He’s not like me in any reasonable way, I could blame him but it’s not his fault. He’s a walking inspiration, He’s so smart and fascinating and he takes life with a pinch of salt Chorus But when is... is it my go to take a turn in his place? and when is... is it his turn to swap my mask for his face? Verse 3 He’s a mover and shaker, he catches all the breaks and he seems at home on any dance floor Well-adjusted and content, he has a manly scent and his face can open any door Middle 8 It’s so unfair to be so jealous of his hair and the way it falls just right

You can say what you like nothing changes For us The air is still and warm and it rolls around our heads Major to minor and we’re the last to go Chorus I know the words and you know the tune that we have to sing Verse 2 The train moves to the future as we become the past The sun is pale and misty and it looks like it’s our last Major to minor and now we have to go Chorus 2 I know the words and you know the tune that we have to sing The words spin and loop and we’re crushed by the truths that we have to sing Verse Esus2, C6, B7sus 4, B7 Cadd9, G(B), Am6 (C), C(D) Chorus Cmaj7 (roots climb for next 2 chords), Eb aug, Em7, (roots descend for next 3 chords, Cmaj7, Eb Instrumental break Csus2, C, Csus4, C Em (I), Gm6 (I), Am7 Fadd9, Fm add9

Verse I’ve thought about you From time to time I heard that you had been fired I think I heard that from Dave But you know Dave… He’s an unbelievable liar. Chorus I’m sorry that we were so bad at staying in touch But life gets in the way isn’t that what they say? I guess that you heard my business died I made some shocking investments Now I’m back on my feet new wife and kids after major reassessments Chorus I guess at the time we both needed friends But life gets in the way isn’t that what they say? Middle 8 Bald spots and long shots are all we’ve got Hotel bars, company cars and battle scars Let's meet up in town one of those nights Don’t you have a birthday soon? Just leave it to me I’ll get it right I’ll see if Dave is around Chorus He’s way worse than you and me He could really use a break Unless life gets in the way I’ll call him later today. A, A/F#, A/C#, Bm7, C#m C add9, G add9, Am7, Fadd9, G/B, E7, Dm7, E7 F/D, F/G, E(I), Am, G/B, A/C# C/D

V1 There’s so many things that I can’t remember Because I never thought I’d need them again But now they’re gone I think I could cry There’s the road where you hid in my coat The storm beat down as I walked you home But you don’t live around here any more Chorus Feeling worse than ever before I don’t know where you live anymore I wonder if we ever passed in the street Hoping that we’d possibly meet and talk like old friends do V2 There’s the lamp-post where I got the bad news It’s ok, I could hardly blame you I’d have done the same in your shoes.

I read all the books I was supposed to read they didn’t lead to the places they said they’d lead to I’m the kind of man who skips to the last page I want all your praise but none of your outrage don’t dream much anymore but when I do I dream about you Chorus There’s no worries Said all my sorries except the ones that I owe to you You said that I Didn’t need to What would it mean now? I don’t know but it’s something to do I was a mindless mess about mindfulness I didn’t know what it was trying to do I kicked and I punched at what was inside me All I knew was that I wouldn’t let it define me I didn’t care about much but I always cared about you Mid 8 What am I going to do with all this time without you? I guess I’ll just figure it out as I go. What do other guys do? Do they learn something new? Like DIY, homebrew and fighting online How do I fill all this time? Maybe I’ll start work on that novel.

Stay 03:44
The day is almost over as the evening comes down around us I tried to slow the time down but it burns on and on around us Stay here, don’t go please stay here with me. The sun falls through the skyline and the evening turns gold around you And our coffee turns cold as the second hand revolves around us Stay with me, don’t go Stay with me, don’t go. Verse Fadd9, Fmadd9, C(I), Dm7, Cadd9, G/B x 2 G#dim Chorus Am7/F, Dm7, Em7, FmMaj7, G6 x 2 Am7, B7, Cmaj7

Verse1 The brass ring is coming around again and maybe for the very last time Get yourself ready to jump again You’re almost at the front of the line Verse2 1, 2, 3 and you’ll make a leap and hold onto the ring with both hands the wind is loud and the angle’s steep and it’s hard to remember what was your plan Verse 3 If you hit the ground you’ll get right up and you’ll meet me at the back of the line We’ll dust you off and patch you up and get you ready for another try Keep looking up, it’s a long way down You’re just about due a full turnaround Chorus You’re better off without me Is what I really, really believe The third act is just within reach But please just don’t take it from me There’s nothing to do There’s nowhere to go Unless you’ve heard of a road I don’t know about The way ahead is so hard to see and the blackest ice is sliding our wheels This lesson isn’t going to be cheap But I think we got a pretty good deal There’s nothing to do There’s nowhere to go Unless you’ve heard of a road I don’t know about Verse G(C), Gsus2(D), Em7, G(I) x 2 G(B), Am(C), Cadd9 (D Chorus Bm7, Em7 Gadd9, D add9 C6, C, Cm6, C6

V1 For all I know the burnout is here pressing on my shoulders and pushing through my inner ears For all my talk I know one thing is clear I've waited far too long and what I need just isn’t here Chorus I don’t know where I’ll end up when it all plays out. V2 Is this the way it’s supposed to feel? Like I ground down all my teeth in a dream that turned out to be real Can a person's hair really go white overnight I feel it’s on its way though I know it is an unreal fear. Chorus 2 I don’t know where I’ll end up when it all plays out The pieces are out of order and they’re scattered all about No glimpses of the future that aren’t full of doubt Mid 8 I can’t see where the future goes I’ve asked around and nobody knows If you’ve got a clue won’t you clue me in Before this bridge comes to an end? Or maybe it’s a middle 8. Verse A, A /F#, Am/F, CInv /G, Ab Aug, A Chorus Bm7, A/F#, F/G, F6/G Mid 8 F/D, F/G, E Inv /G#, Am x2 Ab, G, F#, F Instrumental break F#, Db x 2 Bm7, C#m7, F#m7, C/F
