Song: Fading West
Artist: Switchfoot
Album: The Edge of the Earth
==================================================================================================
(Fading west with you)
(Fading west with you)
The sun goes down for the summer
Mirrored sky full of water
I am fading westward too
Fading west with you
Life won't sing like I want it
The traffic post-modern sonnet
The traffic hums a dirty tune
Fading west with you
I'm headed back to the West Coast where I'm from
I'm headed back to the left coast, where I belong
California's calling me back home
Fading west with you
Keep my mind over matter
Cuz I've seen my hope shatter
They told me lies I thought were true
Fading west with you
Prechorus:
The sun goes down
We were already gone
Bridge:
When I ride on alone
Feel like I'm caving in
When you leave me alone
I start to wonder
Where have I been
Where have I been
I'm headed back to the West Coast where I'm from
I'm headed back to the left coast, where I belong
California's calling me back home
Californian waters, won't you bring me home
Fading west with you
Tag:
Fading west with you
I'm fading west with you

Song: Against the Voices
Artist: Switchfoot
Album: The Edge of the Earth
==================================================================================================
(x4)
Start the day against the voices
The ones that tell me that I'm wrong
I hear them now
Screaming their delusions
Close my eyes and they're gone
Interlude:
In my mind I hear the voices
In my mind I have my doubts
Burning fears
These ghosts and apparitions
Only your whisper can drown them out, yeah
Prechorus:
If they ain't singing
And they're just talking
Let them keep talking to themselves
Cuz everybody knows
That the hardest war to fight
Is a fight to be yourself
When the voices try to turn you into someone else
Interlude:
Someone else
Start the road against the voices
I picked a path out in the woods
I've made mistakes
I've got the scars to prove them
I'd change the past if I could
Prechorus
Bridge:
Ba baba ba dada-dada-dadada (x3)
I close my eyes and they're gone, gone, gone, gone
Prechorus (low):
If they ain't singing
And they're just talking
Let them keep talking to themselves
Prechorus (link):
Eh-eh
Eh-eh
Let them keep talking to themselves
Cuz everybody knows
That the hardest war to fight
Is a fight to be yourself
Close my eyes and they're gone

Song: Skin And Bones
Artist: Switchfoot
Album: The Edge of the Earth
==================================================================================================
(N..)
The wasteland is mine, mine alone
The desert comes alive when no one's home
Apocalyptic skies, burning gold
I walk these empty miles, I can't find a soul
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind, I'm miles away
I'm miles away
Interlude:
I'm not afraid to die, I'm afraid of being free
I'm not afraid to doubt, I'm afraid to believe
Don't believe the lies of what you see
Elevate your mind above these animal dreams
Bridge:
Flying overhead, these animal dreams (x4)
N..
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
==================================================================================================
Song: What It Costs
Artist: Switchfoot
Album: The Edge of the Earth
==================================================================================================
Sunlight, fading fast, make it last
Like a flame, flickers then it's past
Moonlight fades to dark, carry on
You never know what's real until it's gone
Prechorus 1:
Love deals the currency of loss
Don't ever forget what it costs
Hold on to me
Carry me through
Our story
Is a pain that we outgrew
Yeah, you can't call it love
Until you've lost
If you love someone
This is what it costs
Interlude:
This city cries softly tonight
Like a million teardrops from a thousand eyes
I'm drenched beneath the rainy Melbourne sky
Wondering how it is I feel so dry inside
Prechorus 2:
Well love uses the pain to drill the holes
To irrigate our dry and thirsty souls
Interlude:
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
Sunlight, fading fast, make it last
Sunlight, fading fast, make it last

Song: Slow Down My Heartbeat
Artist: Switchfoot
Album: The Edge of the Earth
==================================================================================================
This song is in 7/8, divided as 4+3/8 or 4+2+1/8.
Also I'm not too sure of some of the lyrics, so apologies if any are wrong.
There is also some muddying between A/Am and D/Dm, so if you want to be safe play and .
==================================================================================================
The morning comes
My mind rolls back
My body's weightless
My world goes black
Slow down my heartbeat
Slow down my heartbeat
Slow down my heartbeat
Slow down my heartbeat
A loud scream in
My hands are bound
The world's still breathing
But there's no sound
Interlude (high):
N..
Interlude (low):
Refrain (x4):
Euphoria's gone
It's time to move on
I have to believe we can change
My world's gone all wrong
Stop swimming along
We can't be the same old thing
Tag (x4 and fade out):
Euphoria's gone

Song: Liberty
Artist: Switchfoot
Album: The Edge of the Earth
==================================================================================================
The bridge is in 3-bar phrases, not the regular 4-bar phrases.
==================================================================================================
(x2)
The feeling comes to me in waves
The darkest seas I've ever known
Mine is an odyssey of grace
Mine is a story headed home
I tie myself up to the mast
Give up the semblance of control
The sirens sing but I let them pass
Cuz only you could free my soul
Only you can free my soul
Yeah, only you can free my soul, yeah
Set these broken bones to cast
Stitch my wounds with holy sutures
Every saint has got a past
Yeah, but every sinner's got a future
And only you can free my soul
Yeah, only you can free my soul, yeah
Bridge:
Show me the freedom from these chains
Show me a battlefield that's safe
That waters still roll away
But you are my liberty
Tag:
Free my soul, free my soul
And let liberty flow
Like a flood, let it grow
And I'll let the past go
I've come home, back home
And I'll make it I know
All my love, all my hope
Only you could free my soul
Free my soul
Come on and free my soul (only you could free my soul)
Only you could free my soul (only you could free my soul)
I tied myself up to the mast
I tied myself up to the mast and let it go (only you could free my soul)
Yeah yeah
Only you could free my soul

(x2)
When the morning finds us
We open up our eyes
With the stars still fading in the sky
All along the journey
You leave the past behind
I had a dream that we could fly
Interlude (x2):
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Of the distant o-ceans
The falling mountains
The great wide o-pen
Of the desert sky
And where I'll be is
Where you found me
Meet me here at the edge of the Earth
Meet me here at the edge of the Earth
Tag:
So come on
Come on
So I set off running
To reach the other side
To find a place to call my own
And in the distance
The rivers open wide
And I was lost but not alone
Tag:
So come on
Come on
So come on
Come on
So come on
Come on
(repeat and fade out)
