I've got my things, I'm good to go
Em
You met me at the terminal
Am            F                   C               G
Just one more plane ride and it's done
C
We stood like statues at the gate
Em
Vacation's come and gone too late
Am              F
There's so much sun where I'm from
C                   G   
I had to give it away, had to give you away

Perfect

Hours pass

That I am not there             F 
I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this
                         C
Like every inch of me is bruised,
G
Bruised

F
Don't fly fast
Oh, pilot can you help me

Can you make this last?
This plane is all I got

So keep it steady, now

C
I lace my Chucks, I walk the aisle
Em
I take my pills the babies cry

All I hear

Now every word of every song

I've ever heard that made me

Want to stay

Is what's playing through the in-flight radio

C
So read your books
    Em                         Am
But stay out late some nights, some nights
    C
And don't think that you
Em                Am
Can't stop by the bar
C                      Em
You haven't shown your face here

Since the bad news

I'm here 'til close, with fingers crossed
     Am                      
Each night 'cause your place isn't far
(let ring)             (let ring)

And hours pass, and hours pass, yeah, yeah

Bruised (Jack's Mannequin)

Eu realmente deveria parar de tentar cantar qualquer coisa que envolva falsete minimamente. 

E eu realmente errei a última nota. Errei feio. Não tinha nada a ver com um Am, mas eu toquei um Am. Era um G. Onde eu estava com a cabeça?

Porém: foda-se e foda-se. :)

And lately I’m not gettin’ no sleep at all

With my girl in a house in the trees

    G    F    C
The sea...

Said “Son, you look ready to travel tonight”

The sea...
          G               C          Em      (D)
Cause she knows in the oceans I’m free
   C                         D
It makes her so sad, but she never gets mad when I leave

G  F  Am  G
G  C  G  C  [x2]

C                               G
When you were born you were not alone
                            F
Nothing was carved into the stone quite yet, but don't forget
    C                    G                     C
You heard someone say it won't get better than this
C                                    G
That was the sound of your father
G                                   F
As he held you up to your mother
F
No one will ever know, 
  C                  G                       C
a love a pure as the one that you felt right then

C              G                Dm
They held you up, they held you up
    C                   G
And everybody else they fell to the wayside
C
This is the start the beginning
G
The prologue to the tale that you're spinning
Dm                      C                      G
A million synonyms will never come close to describe the feeling

F F F            C C C               G G G
      Don't ever leave, cause if you do dear
        Am                 F
I guarantee that you'll regret the day you did
                C
and you'll miss all the simple things
                G
And you'll see everything you've ever loved
                                           Am
start fading till there's nothing left oh

[Chorus]
Am      C          G            F                Am
And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
Am          C                G
And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
Am    C        G                F                 Am
And I see, the things that I pretend that I don't see
Am    C                G
And I keep them in my head love

If only for memories

[break]
G  C  G  C  [x4]

C                                G
So now you're young and you feel alone
                                   F
Despite friends family and all the good things now surrounding you
    C                                G                     C
You can't help thinking that there's gotta be some more to do
C                                     G
When all the things that you cherish
G                                   F
Turn into burdens and there is
F
No other path to take, 
    C                       G                     C
you know what you've got to do but you don't know how

C             G                  Dm
They hold you back they hold you down
           C                      G
And you're gonna feel bad but you know that you've gotta get out
C
This is your pain your dilemma
G
Do you stay in the town where they raised ya
Dm                     C                      G
Or will you sail away, pull the anchor and go headed for the come-what-may?

F F F             C C C               G G G
      You have to leave, cause if you don't dear
             Am                 F
you'll never see the things you read about in books
            C
you saw the films and you were hooked
         G
but everything you want won't come to you
                                              Am
you realize now that you've gotta go see this through

[Chorus]
Am      C          G            F                Am
And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
Am          C                G
And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
Am    C        G                F                 Am
And I see, the things that I pretend that I don't see
Am    C                G
And I keep them in my head love

If only for memories

F   C   E   Am   [x3]
F   C   E ------->

C                              G
So now you're old raising your own
                             F
Two souls to make yourself a home, you finally settled down
       C                       G                     C
you've seen the world but your heart never left this town
C                                   G
They have the eyes of their mother
G                                         F
The kind of crooked teeth of their father
F
No one will ever know
  C                   G                     C
A love as pure as the one that you feel for them

C                G                   Dm
You'll hold them up you'll hold them up
    C                   G
And everybody else will fall to the wayside
C
There is no end no beginning
G
On this merry-go-round we call living
Dm                        C                          G
Some day you will return, every single ounce of the love you were given

F F F                  C C C            G G G
      Someday they'll go, and when they leave home
             Am               F
you will be grateful for the lesson that you learned
            C
you had to travel half the world
       G
to realize what you knew all along
                                       Am
that everything will end up where it belongs

[Chorus]
Am      C          G            F                Am
And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
Am          C                G
And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
Am    C        G                F                 Am
And I see, the things that I pretend that I don't see
Am    C                G
And I keep them in my head love

If Only For Memories (Toh Kay/Streetlight Manifesto)

Is there?

-------------------------

Tuning: Standard (Capo 2nd fret)

Intro: Am

Verse:

Am                                    Dm           F
I don't know where the Sun goes every night, every night

Am                               Dm               F
Or where the moon goes when it's light, when it's light

Am      C        Dm                    Am   
I don't mind, As long as it's there in time

Dm                             F
Oh as long as they're there in time

        Am            E             Am 
I won't mind, I won't mind, I won't mind


Am                                        Dm           F
No one knows where the soul goes, when we die, when we die

Am                                     Dm          F
Some say to nowhere, some will say the sky, to the sky

Am           C         Dm                         Am    
It's all the same, But surely some will find it's strange

         Dm              F        
But I prefer the mystery remains, 

 Am           E            Am 
unexplained, unexplained, unexplained


Chorus:

C                 Dm                      F              C
Oh my God, I will hold my tongue and I'll breathe easily

C                      Dm                          F
If anyone can say with any sort of certainty that there is 

                C
something to  believe

Am                                C
Did you ever think that we'd be 3 steps from the edge

Dm                              F                  G
Contemplating awful things that thinking about the end

Am                          C  
Nobody mentioned that their pieces wouldn't fit

          Dm                                  F             G
You could rearrange them all you want but the puzzle it was rigged

Dm            Am
We swore we'd never stray

E                                 Am
Right before we went our separate ways

Dm            Am
And now we're looking back, 

       E                                Am
second guessing all the choices that we made


Whistling Part:

Am  C  Dm  Am

Am  C  E

Am  C  Dm(Strum each once then mute)  C  C/B

F  C  E

C                   Dm             F                  C
Who'd have thought we fought so long we started to sink?

C                       Dm
Our enemies turned into friends our friends to enemies 

    F                     C
and we sat somewhere in between

      C                                             Dm
But I heard someone say they knew that someday that everything would fall 

                    F                   C
into it's place and everything would be fine

       C                        Dm                 
And I really truly honestly without a doubt want to believe that 

F                    C
everything will be alright


Chorus: *no guitar until written*

Oh my God, I will hold my tongue and I'll breathe easily

C                      Dm
If anyone can say with any sort of certainty

     F                     C
that there is something to believe

Am                                C
Did you ever think that we'd be 3 steps from the edge

Dm                              F                  G
Contemplating awful things that thinking about the end

Am                          C  
Nobody mentioned that their pieces wouldn't fit

          Dm                                  F             G
You could rearrange them all you want but the puzzle it was rigged

Dm            Am
We swore we'd never stray

E                                 Am
Right before we went our separate ways

Dm            Am
And now we're looking back, 

       E                                Am
second guessing all the choices that we made

Brand New Start (Little Joy ukulele cover)

Quem disse que sonzinho de ukulele tem que ser sussa?

Capo 4

Intro: G---F-C-- x3, then hold on G

           C                                 Am
Well, I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor.
  F
Reminds me of the time we shared.
G
Makes me wish that you were here. Well,
C                              Am
Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life.
F
All the songs have been erased.
G
Guess I've learned from my mistakes.

Am       C                 G              F
Open the past and present, now and we are there.
Dm         F             C
  Story to tell and I am listening
Dm       C                 G              F
Open the past and present, and the future too.
Dm                          F           C
  It's all I've got and I'm givin it to you.


Loose ends tied in knots. Leaving a lump down in my throat.
Gagging on a souvenir.
Lodged to fill another year.
Drag it  on  and  on  until my skin is ripped to shreads.
Leaving myself open wide
Living out a sacrifice.

Open the past and present, now and we are there.
Story to tell and I am listening
Open the past and present, and the future too.
It's all I've got and I'm givin it to you.

Bridge: (repeat intro chords x2)

        G                F  C
If you got no one
         G               F  C
and I've got no place to go,
         G               F  C
would it be alright?
         G
Could it be alright?

C (Hold for a bit, palm mute, whatever you like, then move onto verse)

Well, I've got gome scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor.
Reminds me of the times we shared.
Makes me wish that you were here. Well,
Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life.
All the songs have been erased.
Guess I've learned from my mistakes.

Open the past and present, now and we are there.
Story to tell and I am listening
Open the past and present, and the future too.
It's all I've got and I'm givin it to you.
It's all I've got and I'm givin it to you.

Scattered – Green Day ukulele cover

(G, G/F#, G/E, C - C/B)
Queria ser capaz de dormir
Ser capaz de acordar
Em outro lugar 
Que não aqui

Queria ser menor do que sou
Pra poder me esgueirar 
Na tua vida entrar
E não onde estou 

(D, C, C/B)
Mas eu
De tão grande que fui
De tanto que te amei

(D, C, C/B, Am - Am7)
Me fiz
Impossível manter 
Improvável poder
Impraticável de amar

(G, G/F#, G/E, C - C/B)
Às vezes dá vontade dizer 
Perguntar o que eu fiz
Onde foi que eu errei
Pra você não querer 

Mas sei que não fiz nada demais
Não fui nada além 
Do que um simples alguém 
Que já não coube mais 

Impraticável

Essa música é provavelmente a que eu mais amo em todo o mundo. Minha versão está tosca, eu não sei cantar tão bem quanto eu deveria saber pra fazer jus a ela, mas eu fiz o melhor que pude. <3

Intro:  G D Em Am C (2x)

  G         D          Em
I know that it's been said before,
    Am                C
but not like this, or with these chords:
  G         D     Em
I wish that I was someone else
   Am               C
so I could sit down with myself,
     G    D       Em
and maybe I could help explain
      Am             C
these crazy thoughts I entertain
 G       D          Em
about my life, and everything,
     Am              C
like how it's really happening right now.

---

G  D  Em  Am  C (2x)

    G          D         Em
I'm bored, I'm restless, disconnected,
Am              C
aimlessness has left me breathless.
    G       D        Em
But my life has been redirected
Am               C
and I'm starting to accept this.
   G       D        Em
So efforts now must be relentless
  Am                         C
because failure's leaving me so upset with
  G           D             Em
myself, but I swear this is all that I love;
Am                      C
you're going to see exactly what I'm made of tonight.

G  D  Em  Am  C  C

           D
As for the rest of my life,
           G                      G7
well, I'll just wait and see what happens to me 
     Am      C   C7
from here.

      Em                    G
So it seems, like all of the time
    Am                 C
I'm about to change my mind.
       Em             G
I'm so naive, yet resolute
            Am             C
after I've decided what to do.
               Em                 G
I can't wear a tie on my collared shirt,
              Am                 C
I can't get a job and just go to work.
            Em                       G
I'm worried sick like you wouldn't believe
              Am                     C     C7
have you any idea what this means to me?

G  Em  Am  C(2x)

G       D        Em
Looking back now makes me laugh,
    Am                        C
I'm grateful I don't want the things that I lack.
  G        D        Em
Except for time, oh goddam me,
         Am                      C
when did free time become such a luxury?
        G       D       Em
See, if I don't do this while I'm young
    Am              C
I'm certain that it wont get done.
        G       D          Em
So I've made my choice and it's all right,
    Am                    C
I'm ready to really start living my life.
     G        D               Em
So I swear to god that I will quit my job
    Am             C
and drive until my car just stops.

     G      D     Em
I'll walk until I reach the ocean,
Am                C       D     G
maybe I will know what to do by then.

Intro: (G Em C D)2x 
        C D G-D/F#-Em  C D G

(G Em C D)
Ele pensa que a vida ficou pra trás
Então finge que nem liga que tanto faz
    C       D             G-D/F#-Em
Ou não, ou não, a vida é como um gás
       C            D           G
Só um sopro, só um vento, nada mais

A#                           Dm
  E o ar que já lhe passou pelos pulmões
       C                 F   
De tão velho já quer ir descansar
A#                       Dm 
  Daqui pro futuro falta só um piscar
          C                  F           D
Que é pro tempo não mais nos enganar

(G Em C D)
Ele agora vê que o tempo é uma ilusão
E o passado são as linhas em suas mãos
    C       D            G-D/F#-Em
Ou não, ou não, a vida é muito mais
       C            D              G
Que os dias, que os deuses, que jornais

A#                           Dm
  E o ar que já lhe passou pelos pulmões
       C                 F   
De tão velho já quer ir descansar
A#                       Dm 
  Daqui pro futuro falta só um piscar
          C                  F           D
Que é pro tempo não mais nos enganar

(G Em C D) 2x

    C       D             G-D/F#-Em
Ou não, ou não, a vida é como um gás

Só um sopro, só um vento, nada mais

A verdade sobre o tempo (Pato Fu)

(D9, A9, Bm, G)
It's 4AM
And here I am
Looking at the stars inside of my head
I understand
It's in my hands                        D/F# - Em
To fly and fall and put me back on air

(G, D, A, Bm-A)
But you're there
You're always there                                                  G
you're such a weight but you're lighter than air
                             D
and what is there
                       A
for me to do
                                     G
unless I am with you

I can't begin
to tell you how
many times I have been wrong
But it's all right
And to take flight
It's sometimes nice to leave your baggage home

Lighter Than Air

Cover de "Heads Up, Hearts Down", da banda I Fight Dragons. Gravado com um violão e um iPad.

Heads Up, Hearts Down (I Fight Dragons)

Recentemente fui lembrado da existência dessa banda, depois de no mínimo meia década sem ouvir. Foi massa. Gravei em homenagem a essa memória (e à pessoa que me relembrou da banda). 

+++

Letra:

If I told you a secret
You won't tell a soul
Will you hold it and
Keep it alive

Cause it's burning a hole
And I can't get to sleep
And I can't live alone
In this life

So look up, take it away
Don't look da-da-da-down
The mountain

If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you

And you stand at the crossroads
Of highroads and lowroads
And I've got a feeling
It's right

If it's real what I'm feeling
There's no make believing
The sound of the wings
Of the flight

Of a dove, take it away
Don't look da-da-da-down
The mountain

If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you

Oh, look up, take it away
Don't look da-da-da-down

If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you

Love will come through
Love will come through
Love will come through

Love Will Come Through (Travis)

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images
And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate
That God Himself did make
Us into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay

And true it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you're away
And when I am missing you to death

And when you are out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now" they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now" but we'll stay

I tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat
It sounded thin upon the sending

And that frankly will not fly
You'll hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
And this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now" they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now" but we'll stay

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now" they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now" but we'll stay

(They will see us waving from such great heights)
(Come down now)
They will see us waving from such great heights
(Come down now)

A desconcertante certeza de que isso está uma bosta em termos de vocal não me impediu de publicar, porque poucas músicas no mundo me fazem sentir o que essa faz. Thank you, Father.
