When we were younger
We thought everyone was on our side
Then we grew a little
*
And romanticized the time I saw
*
Flowers in your hair
*
Takes a boy to live
* *
Takes a man to pretend he was there
*
So then we grew a little
Knew a lot
And now we demonstrated it to the cops
*
And all the things we said
*
We were self assured
*
It's a long road to wisdom
* *
It's a short one to being ignored
Be in my eye
Be in my heart
By in my eye, eyeyeye
Be in my heart
So now I think that I could love you back
And I hope its not too late
'Cause youre so attractive
And the way you move
I won't close my eyes
Takes a man to live
Takes a woman to make him compromise
Be in my eye
Be in my heart
By in my eye, eyeyeye
Be in my heart

Part: (emphasis on bass walkthrough: )
(fp)
Welllll, she was standing in the bar
I said, "Hello, how do you do?"
She handed me a beer with a kangaroo
She spoke of places I had never been
That she had traveled to
And we slowed danced along to faster tunes
I made her laugh, I made a pass, I showed her my half dollar ring
She said, "That's pretty cool,
But classy girls don't kiss in bars, you fool"
Break:
(fp)
(st)
So later on the crowd calmed down
And I believe it was as if
Something drew me closer to her lips
So picture my surprise when
I had tried to lean in for a kiss
And she just smiled and turned her head down
I asked her, "Why?" and she replied,
"It was nothing I was doing wrong, its just what it is"
No, classy girls don't kiss in bars like this
Ending: (st)
No, classy girls don't kiss in bars
Boys will break their backs and hearts
But its alright, the hardest part is through
Oh through
Oh
Oh
(end)
Hardest Part

Underneath deep blue seas
Saw the flags: Japanese
No one will believe me
Bridge:
Ran back to the town bar and I told the people how

Dead of night on the eastern coast

Everyone thinks I'm a liar No one knows the truth
If it was a bigger fire I would be on the roof

Ships will rust in Baldwin Bay (Let me go!)

Overnight my hair turned gray (Oh oh oh!)

I had none, so I will die with the secrets of the sea

I stood alone, upon the platform in vain
Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain
With open doors and manual locks
In fast food parking lots
Pre-chorus:
I headed West, I was a man on the move
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth
Oh, I need somebody, needed someone I could trust
I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us
Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
()
You'll never sink when you are with me
Oh Lord, like the Dead Sea
Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The nicest words you ever said to me
()
Honey can't you see,
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea
You told me you were good at running away
Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase
You left with just the clothes on your back
You took the rest when you took the map
Pre-chorus:
Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Your father died and you decided to live
It for yourself you felt, you just felt it was time
And I'm glad, cause you with cats, that's just not right
Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
You'll never sink when you are with me
Oh Lord, like the Dead Sea
Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The nicest words you ever said to me
Honey can't you see,
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea
Bridge:
I been down, I been defeated
You're the message I was heeding
Would you stay,
Would you stay the night?
Dead Sea,
Told me I was like the Dead Sea
Never sink when you are with me
Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea
Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever said to me
No need to move your feet so quickly
Oh Lord, I'm your Dead Sea

Note III:
I used these chords names,
so they can fit above the
right words. And most of these
chords are just transition chords,
and you need to watch the video
for hammer ons and pull offs.
Into:
I feel a filth in my bones
Wash off my hands till it's gone
Your walls they're closing in
With velvet curtains
Some love was made for the lights
Some kiss your cheek and goodnight
Lift up a red high heel
Lock up your doors with steel
You're making noise in my street
My blinds are drawn, I can't see
Smashed in my car window
Didn't touch the stereo
Slow it down
()
And you come back to bed
()
Rest your arms and rest your legs
Act like you've been here before
Smile less and dress up some more
Tie up your scarf real tight
These boys are out for blood tonight
Slow it down
And you come back to bed
Rest your arms and rest your legs
Break:
And when she stood she stood tall
She'll make a fool of you all
Don't ask for cigarettes
She ain't got nothing left for you
I never, she never, we never look back
That wasn't what we were good at
And when it came to love
We were not good enough for it
Slow it down
And you come back to bed
Rest your arms and rest your legs
Ending: (chorus chords)
Don't you frown
When you're feeling like that
Only love can pick you out of this

Note IV:
-Play the part :
Hammer on to
-Play the part :
Hammer on to and then pull off to again
She'll lie and steal and cheat, and beg you from her knees
And make you thinks she means it this time
She'll tear a hole in you, the one you can't repair
But I still love her, I don't really care
Pre-chorus:
When we were young, Oh Oh, we did enough
When it got cold, Ooh Ooh, we bundled up
I cant be told, Ah Ah It cant be done
It's better to feel pain, than nothing at all
The opposite of love's indifference
Pay attention now, I'm standing on your porch screaming out
And I wont leave until you come downstairs
So keep your head up, keep your lo-ove
Keep your head up, my lo-ove
Keep your head up, my lo-ove
So keep your head up, keep your lo-ove
I don't blame ya dear for running like you did, all these years
I would do the same, your best believe
The highway signs say we're close, but I don't read those things anymore
I never trusted my own eyes
Pre-chorus:
When we were young oh oh, we did enough
When it got cold, Ooh ooh we bundled up
I can't be told, Ah ah, can't be done
So keep your head up, keep your love
Keep your head up, my love
Keep your head up, my love
Keep your head up, keep your love

Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me
All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see
Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me
All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see
Fleet of black, fleet of black limousines
These tinted machines, here comes the cavalcade
With the armored cars, armored cars like berettas
Flags on antennaes designed to keep me safe, keep me safe
And oh my my oh hey hey
Here he comes, the candidate
Blue eyed boy, united states
Vote for him, the candidate
Diamonds cut, diamonds cut for the carrots
Plaster of paris, the floats fill up the street
And the beauty queens, beauty queens with the white gloves
All sick from the night clubs, they wave with pageantry, pageantry
Oh my my oh hey hey
Here it comes, the big parade
Marching bands and barricades
Make way, for the big parade
Break:
Ooohhh ooohhh ooohhh
Canvas covered, canvas covered in resin
The violent men who dance the blood ballet
And the bookies say, bookies say it's the 3rd round
Oh when louie will go down, if he don't there's hell to pay, and hell to raise
And oh my my oh hey hey
Here he comes, the welterweight
Take a dive, for goodness sake
Or say goodbye to the welterweight
Catholic priest, catholic priest in a crisis
He's torn between romance and jesus, who will win the civil war
And he says I'm in love, I'm in love with a woman
Yea this is my confession, I'm leaving I can't a priest anymore, anymore
And oh my my oh hey hey
There he goes, the man of faith
Left the church for a fiance
Let him love, the man of faith
Break:
Ooohhh ooohhh ooohhh
T.v. cameras, t.v. cameras and stage hands
American bandstand, electric guitars
And he's singin songs, singin songs for the lonely
All the girls with the room keys, they know all his words by heart, by heart and they all sing
Bridge:
Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me
All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see
Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me

If you're down on your luck
Don't get down on yourself
It won't do you no good
Cause I've been there before,
Fought a hundred wars,
But I'm still fighting for you
Elouise, why'd you leave
Please confess, confess to me
Sing my song, patiently
And I'll return, my Elouise
Let's be Elvis and
Let's be David Bern,
let's all learn how to dance
Move your feet in time,
Put your hand in mine,
We will waltz once again
Elouise, why'd you leave
Please confess, confess to me
Sing my song, patiently
And I'll return, my Elouise
Elouise, why'd you leave
Please confess, confess to me
Sing my song, graciously
He will walk Elouise

I love you and everything about you

Won't you stay away so I can get my work done in a day, ok

And maybe in the meantime you and me will be fine

If you just relax, and check your eyes for cataracts
It's plain to see

That I was meant for you and you were meant for me

Darling hold me tightly I think you and me we might be

Falling, falling, falling

I'm falling in looooooooooove looooove

Drama queen like when you see a fire you grab the gasoline
now honey please calm down yes just don't make a scene
They're asking us to leave now, calling the police
Yes he's a manly man
Yes you're defending me just like a punching bag
But I can take a punch if you can take a jab
You catch me when I fall, dress your wounds with alcohol
Falling, falling, falling
I'm falling in love, love
Falling, falling, falling
I'm falling in love, love

There's a blood red circle on the cold dark ground
And the rain is falling down
The church doors thrown open I can hear the organ's song
But the congregation's gone
Post-verse:
My city of ruins
My city of ruins
Now the sweet veils of mercy drift through the evening trees
Young men on the corner like scattered leaves
The boarded up windows, the empty streets
While my brother's down on his knees

My city of ruins
My city of ruins
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!
Come on rise up! Come on rise up!

Oh I'm sailin' away my own true love
I'm sailin' away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea
From the place that I'll be landing?
No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love
There's nothin' I wish to be ownin'
Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
From across that lonesome ocean.
Oh, but I just thought you might want something fine
Made of silver or of golden
Either from the mountains of Madrid
Or from the coast of Barcelona ?
Oh, but if I had the stars from the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'.
Break:
That I might be gone a long time
And it's only that I'm askin'
Is there something I can send you to remember me by
To make your time more easy passin'?
Oh, how can, how can you ask me again
It only brings me sorrow
But the same thing I would want from you today
I would want again tomorrow.
Break II:
* x2
When I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin'
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'.
Well, if you, my love, must think that-a-way
I'm sure your mind is roamin'
I'm sure your heart is not with me
But with the country to where you're goin'.
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
Take heed of the stormy weather
And yes, there's something you can send back to me
Spanish boots of Spanish leather.

Oh the time will come up when the winds will stop
And the breeze will cease to be a-breathin
Like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins,
The hour that the ship comes in
And the sea will split and the ships will hit
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
And the tide will sound and the waves will pound
And the morning will be a-breaking
Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they will be a-smilin'
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they're spoken
Oh the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
And be buried on the bottom of the oooooocean
Break:

A song will lift as the main sail shifts
And the boat drifts unto the shoreline
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in
And the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
For your wearied toes to be a-touchin'
And the ship's wise men will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is waaaaatchin'
Bridge:

Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal
And they'll know that it's for real,
The hour that the ship comes in
And they'll raise their hands, Sayin' we'll meet all you demands
But we'll shout from the bow, Your days are numbered
And like Pharoah's tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
And like Goliath they'll be cooooonquered

Take a love savings out
'Cause if we dont leave this town
Might never make it out
I was not born to drown
Baby come on
Forgot about the planning send
I was not born and sin
You are not on your path
You might know your sin
And by the time she wakes
You will be driven to the state
You'll be driven to the night
Baby come on
And we will be roading clown
We'll be able to cough it out
As far as my eyes could see
Sign says no vaccancy
I dont wanna live like that
But I cant be no one else
And to know what you need
If you pass
If you pass against the wall
If the church
If this God is about to fall
Stay right down
Lay your weary hand in mine
Comfort
Baby we will make it through
Till the end of times
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Jesus crys, cant save me tonight
But I want go and dress again
Where my soul is tonight
Baby we are foreign and young
We are on the run
God do that favourite drum
Is that a plane to Paris
I dont wanna live like that
But I cant be no one else
Future brought me home
If the church
If this God is raised to fall
If the love
Is just felt to go tonight
Said right Fred
Rode it as far as you could meet
Come back
Baby we will make it through
Till the end of times
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Jesus crys, cant save me tonight
New York town saves gasoline tonight
But I own your dress again
Wear something nice
Hide oh my you
Love soul tonight

Pretends that this is right.
Cuz all of this, it don't come free,
And don't become the casualty,
And live beneath what you were meant to be.
Cuz cowards and the heroes feel
The same as you and me, it's real.
Some will run and others persevere.
Victory is in the fight.
Men with hearts will bleed tonight.

And all the rest, the rest is what is right.
