Something bout it sounds unromantic
The way that I didn’t get your name
Or maybe that’s exactly how you planned it
And that would mean there’s no one left to blame
Something bout that chip on your shoulder
The way you like to wear it on your sleeve
it must feel good but anybody older
will only find it harder to believe
CHORUS:
I can see the writing on the wall
Even if you've written it so small
In your unintelligible scrawl
Little urchin doll, no no no
something bout the way that you kissed me
the way that you bit down on my lips
and if you never care enough to miss me
you sure left something sticking in my ribs

Labor Day
G D G
Im sittin here waiting for labor day
C G
With my mind about a thousand miles away
C Em
contemplating all of the things I just cant say
G D G
I’m just sitting here waiting for labor day
I been thinking of it ever since july
When I came home to find my house was full of flies
And I kinda thought by now they’d all have died
I been thinking of it ever since july
Its like a plague is hanging over me
I can feel it as it kills me by degrees
Like a cat upon my chest while I’m asleep
Its like a plague is hanging over me
Im sittin here waiting for labor day
Bearing witness to my body’s slow decay
But somebody said it all will be ok
I’m just sitting here waiting for labor day

Tonight I Hit the Bottle
02:30
|

|
You swore I was the only one that you would ever hold
and somewhere in my foolish heart I trusted what I was told
remember how you told me, how you swore that you'd be true?
well, tonight I hit the bottle when I should be hitting you
My heart feels like a bottle that's been shattered on the ground
and I'm empty as my drink is at the end of every round
so I think I need another, after that another few
because tonight I hit the bottle when I should be hitting you
Now papa was a good man and he always told me son
that you never hit a woman unless it turns her on
so alcohol's the only thing I ever could abuse
and tonight I hit the bottle when I should be hitting you

Fiction

A
Give me fiction, darling
D
'Cause the truth is so alarming
Bm D
I can't help it if these feelings never fade
Everything you know is fleeting
Those teenage dreams were so misleading
And life, it takes us off in unexpected ways
Pre-Chorus
E D
So much for things that haven't happened yet
So much for the sentiment
Verse Guitar 1
A
I fall so easily in every way
D
And I die a little every day
Bm D
True love, oh, it's the whitest whale
For the drunken promises we make
And the sober hearts and bones we break
In balancing our tipping scales of love
Pre-Chorus
E D
So much for things that haven't happened yet
So much for the sentiment
Chorus
A
So give me fiction, darling
D
'Cause the truth is so alarming
Bmin D
I can't help it if these feelings never fade
Give me fiction, darling
'Cause your words are just disarming
I can't help if this will not go away
Verse 2
I tried to quit you like an addict
Just one more pull then I'll kick the habit
And it's always just more of the same
The same thing happens every time
Those blue eyes complicate our lives
Time passes, nothing changes
Pre-Chorus

Disingenue
02:10
|

|
You burst out screaming onto the scene wasn't that long ago
didn't take long before it started to show guess its all about who you know
you were so green or that's how it seemed to me at least
but your ambition was its own kind of beast
only waiting for the feast
CHORUS
I wish it wasn't true
if you only knew
You disingenue
I thought it was kind of odd you were signed by your first tour
its hard to believe that a demo like yours got your foot into the door
but no I don't mind you cutting in line in front of me
right to the place where you thought you should be
I'll act like I didn't see
CHORUS
Now don't get me wrong, I think that your song is kinda cute
that kind of thing I would never dispute with your video on mute
So I wish you luck, though I think you suck as you lay in the sun
pretending that I am the cynical one
after all the things you've done

(C D) Em (4x)
Verse 1:
Em C G
It was mid to late December and I hoped it wouldn't last
Am Em (C D )
I was feeling pretty haunted by the ghosts of Christmas past;
Em C G
I kept thinking bout your kisses and the presents that you brought
Am Em
And how this year I am all alone with what I haven't got
Intro Riff (2x)
Verse 2:
It was mid to late December, and I hoped for the new year;
You might say that I had get fed up with all this Christmas cheer
I kept thinking bout the way I'd been and reasons you would leave
And I knew that it was why I was alone on Christmas eve
CHORUS:
G B7
And the one thing I would ask for, I'd want if I got my way
Em C
Is just to have you back here by my side on Christmas day
Yea the one thing that I’d ask for, I'd want if I got my way
Is just that I don't wanna be alone on Christmas day
Intro Riff (4x)
Verse 3:
It was mid to late December and I hoped that it would end
I just couldn't stand the holidays without my special friend
They came back “return to sender”, all the Christmas cards I sent
Now I'm sitting here just wondering bout where you might have went

In Your Own
03:30
|

|
Finally found the heart to say, you ruined every part of me
its right there where you left it on display
and I don't even know what for, you're stranger to me anymore
are memories so easy to ignore?
When you're a legend in your own eyes
and your heart is beating two timed
yeah you're a legend in your own eyes
and your heart is beating two timed
Finally found the words to say, it felt just like you murdered me
I'm here to charge you in the third degree
but you're just waiting for some creep, who would sweep you off your feet
and lift the rug and sweep me underneath
CHORUS
Finally found the heart to say, you ruined every part of me
but I found out today you'd moved away
and never told me where you went I guess that shows how much I meant
I sit here trying to make sense but I can't

I can't think of what it is it is I think I am (2x)
Dawning on me what it is it is I think I am
Dawning on me what it is it is the dawn of man
Dawn of man (4x)
I can't see through what it is it is I think I am (2x)
Dawning on me what it is it is I think I am
Dawning on me what it is it is the dawn of man
Dawn of man (4x)
I can't tell you what it is it is I think I am (2x)
Dawning on me what it is it is I think I am
Dawning on me what it is it is the dawn of man
Dawn of man (4x)
