ive boarded up the windows,
 left locks on every door
, I've sat alone in silence, 
 I threw away the phone , 

every night i lied awake ,
 these thoughts racing round my head
, every night I lied awake 
toss and turning in my bed,

 I've swam in shallow puddles, 
I've seen the other side, 
I've drank the tainted water,
 I left loved ones behind, 

every night I lied awake 
till the sun was coming up, 
every night I lied awake 
with both of my eyes wide shut. 

every night, every night, every night, 
every night, every night yeah every night 
oh every night, every night

Every Night I Lied Awake

Peanut butter bread and a pot of hot coffee
Gets me out of bed every single morning
Some people might say that my breakfast is boring 
They're right
But it’s what I like

D F….G D
All through my day
falling through space
Just call out my name
And I’ll come knocking that away

The smell of black coffee 
The sound of toast popping
Nothing can stop me 
Cuz I’ll come running right away

Oo oo oo oo
Oo oo oo oo

Peanut butter spread on an english muffin
No, it’s not much but at least it’s something
A couple more bites I’ll need to release some buttons
I’m stuffed, that’s quite enough

(solo)

I never flourished in the kitchen
Despite the fact I thought I would
I searched for something that could free me
then i found something I could cook

I woke up early in the morning
To birds and bugs singing their songs
Some people wander for no reason
I know exactly what I want 

Peanut butter bread and a pot of hot coffee
Gets me out of bed every single morning
Some people might say that my breakfast is boring 
They're right
But it’s what I like

Peanut Butter Bread

Just say why you don’t ever look at me
Tell me what's been hurting you
You’ve got way too much time on your hands 
And not a clue
What to do 
With it once you’re in control 
let it slip between your fingers 
And don’t watch for where it goes
It’s unimportant now
That ship has sailed out
 
Just say why you don't want to talk to me
your body language says it all
I can see it’s not easy for you making the first move
But you’ve had so many chances
And that’s not to come off rude
It’s just insensitive
A bit unsettling


Well just say why you got up, left and turned away
Wonder if you’re coming back
Must be so many things to attend to 
take a second to reflect
Cuz As life
passes by
you’ll see what matters in the end
We’ll  be here for you
Don’t go forgetting that

Just say why you never stop to think of me
There must be so much on your mind
You've got way too much time on your hands
And no more shine 
It’s fine if you’re hiding from the facts
It just seems the way you’re acting 
Really Somehow must detract
From this experience
And your happiness

Don’t you know nothing lasts
These things come to pass

The Experience

Song For You

Alex Won’t Shut Up

C Am
Alex won’t shut up about how
The sky is falling down
I mean it probably is
I mean it actually is 
But all that we can do is put our hands ‘bove our heads

Alex won’t shut up about how
We know nothing at all
I mean we probably don't
I mean we actually don't
And all that we can do is make things up as we go

G7 C G Am
(Instrumental break)

Alex won’t shut up about how
This has gone way to far
I mean it probably has 
But that’s all in the past
We know when this all started not how long it will last

Alex won’t shut up about how
We’re living in hell
I mean we probably are
I mean we actually are
Is it getting hot in here or was it like this before?

G7 C G Am
(Instrumental break)

C G F…. Am
No one wants to hear it
C G C
They’re not even listening
No one really cares what you’re talking about
No one takes you seriously
GC
Seriously.
GC
Seriously.
GC
Seriously.
Not even me
it’s hard to believe
We can’t see what you see
Ill lend an ear if you need
But thats all you get
I respect you regardless 
disregard what i said
It was all in the moment
I hope you understand
And even if you dont
Just know you’re a man
With a far better grasp
On this type of discussion 
And abstract thought process
Than i’ve ever been 
And i can’t knock you for that
I love you for that
Don’t you forget
I love you for that

Alex Won’t Shut Up

Faded T-Shirt

C G Am
I saw you in the clearance aisle
So i didnt even check the price
Caught my eye around the corner
To be honest you were just my style

Took you to the checkout counter
It didn’t even cross my mind
That you would be my favorite t shirt
I would wear you all the time

C Am C Am G F Am
Over my shoulder, hold me down
Keep my feet flat on the ground
Grabbin’ me like gravity 
You can fold me or throw me out

G Am
You used to be so soft
I’d never take you off

F Am C Am C
I know you’re faded
When you sit… alone… honey
I’ll always love you
Even if… you don’t… love me

C G Am
I saw you in the clearance aisle
Checking out the racks and piles
Then looking back in  my direction
All that I could do was smile

Well you took me down from off the hanger
Told me what I wanted to hear
We looked so damn good together
When you tried me on in front of the mirror

C Am C Am G F Am
Hold me closer against your skin
Always there when I need  a friend
Lift me up, don’t give me up
You can wear me or wear me thin

G Am
You used to be so soft
But you never take me off

F G C 
As time passed watched the colors fade
Fabric shreds and the threads are frayed
Am C G
The seams had come undone 

F G C 
Stitch by stitch, we could patch each hole
And Slowly sew you Back to whole
I’ll make things right but still let you go 
After all I just hope you know

Am C G… C
That youll always be
My favorite t-shirt

C G Am (4x)
(Instrumental/humming break 
“Saw you in the clearance aisle”)

G Am
You used to be so soft
I’ve gotta take you off

F Am C Am C
I know you’re faded
When you sit… alone… honey
I’ll always love you
Even if… you don’t… love me

FADED

Am C G
Winding path, covered in, brush
It’s hard to see it, but I could feel it with every, step I took
From the furnace, gently burning, and turning red
it reminds us of a time when everything made sense
Passed the Osage, on the corner, where the fire hydrant stands
They’ve seen so many things that they can’t forget
When a young life, flashed before their eyes, it happens way too fast

Am C G Am
Oh, Leave a light glowing 
So I can see where I’m going
Imma need it when I come home tonight
And keep the wine flowing 
And the windows wide open
So I can see you when I come home tonight

F C F C G
The star that shines the brightest
That’s the one that guides us
The way back home
Nothing lasts forever
But As longs as we’re together 
We’re never lost

Am C G
Bottles empty, theres already, another bottle in the cue
Listen closely, to the crickets, singing their familiar tune
Path was shrouded in the shadows Crow was cackling as we fell 
Because they realize that we would be fine if we just stood still
Grey sky covered in clouds
Underneath it, light still finds its way on down
Talking over, all these voices, it gets way too loud

Am C G Am
Oh, Leave a light glowing 
So I can see where I’m going
Imma need it when I come home tonight
Let the curtains billow
Out that wide open window
So I can know that someones up inside

F C F C G
The star that shines above us
Shows us where the love is
Clear as day
On and on forever 
Floating down a river
That never ends

F G C Am 
Though the fog
A mind plays tricks a lot
It was far
Away 
But I thought I heard them say 

C G F Am
“Leave a light on 
so he can find his way”
…But maybe not

Am C G Am
Leave a light glowing 
So I can see where I’m going
Imma need it when I come home tonight
And keep the wine flowing 
And the windows wide open
So Imma  see it when I come home tonight

F C F C G
The star that shines the brightest
That’s the one that guides us
The way back home
Nothing lasts forever
But As longs as we’re together 
We’re never lost

Am
Oh Oh Oh

GLOW (Leave a Light Glowing)

G….C
I gave my boss my 2 weeks 
So I’ll be here two more tuesdays
Couldn’t make it work out
My minds already made

Stopped myself from pacing 
Because idle time is wasted 
But i’d done that for ages
Acting like I cared at all

Em D C Em                     
Oh god gave you those two legs so you 
could run
And oh god if you've got the strength please lend me some 

G….C
I said my final goodbyes
To the people who I worked with 
Their worlds will keep on turning 
aND iLL never see them again

Sitting back at my desk
Wondered what I’d do next
Collected my last  two paychecks
When the day finally came at last

Em D C Em
Oh god there’s no time to waste when we are young
Oh god a sour taste still lingers on my tongue

C Em
On my tongue
On my breathe 
And Fills my lungs

C G D Em
And when i lick my lips 
I still can taste it 
And when i wake up in the morning
I'm still wasted 
When I close my eyes I can see the future
And so  I turn and run the other way
I’m not so sure that 
D G
That's really where I wanna go!

G… C
Hopped in my old buick 
Drove as fast as i could
6 months in my rear view
I’m never going back 

I set off towards the sunset
There's things I haven’t done yet
I won’t stop for nothing
Even if I hit a mountain range 

Em D C Em
Oh god what’s the point in saving face?
Oh god what would you do standing  in my place?

G… C
Steam rose from my coffee
The windows glass is foggy
And The rain is falling softly
Like the saddest poem you ever heard

Oftentimes I wonder
To the gentle roar of thunder
If the clouds Im sitting under
Will ever fade away

Em D C Em
Oh god there’s no time to waste when we are young
Oh god a sour taste still lingers on my tongue

C Em
On my tongue
On my breathe
Fills my lungs

C G D Em
And when i lick my lips 
I still can taste it 
And when i wake up in the morning
I'm still wasted 
When I close my eyes I can see the future
And so  I keep on pushing further
Because I’m sure that 

D G
That's really where I want to go!

TWO WEEKS

C Am F G
(Capo 2 key of
D)
When I see you smile it makes me smile too
You know it makes my day every time you slide through
Never met nobody else quite like you
When we’re together there’s no telling what we might do

We went walking it was such a nice day
I could feel the sun shining down on my face
We could stay out late until the light fades
We can draw whatever life’s a white page

(instrumental break)

If it starts to rain you know we’ll get through it
We can talk over the noise because we’re deaf to it
Every time you speak your words are like music
Know I hold you tight because I might lose it

If I lost it you know I would never find it
I could be in front of it or right behind it
I keep on strumming even though im getting tired
The only thing I needed is to see you smile

(instrumental break)

You had to show me how to keep my eyes open
Cuz all this time I feel like i’ve been blindfolded
Never used to really know where I was going
I tried following my heart but mine’s broken

There was nothing I could do to try and fix it
But If you sing the song I’ll play the chord progressions
Once we start a song we might not ever end it
wonder if the neighbors hear us or if they ever stop to listen

(instrumental break)

You can take away the snow and make it summer
You can take away the pain and make it number
You can push away the clouds that we’re under
You make me a better person like I’m toast and you’re butter

When I see you smile it makes me smile too
You know it makes my day every time you slide through
Never met nobody else quite like you
When we’re together there’s no telling what we might do

(instrumental break)

SMILE TOO

GC
Oh you sound so tired
When we’re talking on the telephone
I could hear you yawning
You said you’d just got home

Back from a long day
Of walking door-to-door
Having scripted conversations
hand delivering  those election postcards

G7…C D
Well you work so hard doing things you hate
You wake up early and you stay up late

G C G C G C D
Nathalia! Why don’t you go to bed?
Nathalia! You really need some rest
Nathalia! There’s only three weeks till this job ends
Tomorrow you get to go and do it all over again

G C
(Instrumental)

G C
Oh you look so good
When we we go out on the town
It was too late to see the sunset
But The tequila sunrise was falling on down

When it hit the floor 
It took us by surprise
You thought that it was your fault, 
But it really was mine 

G7… CD
Well we knocked those pool balls back and forth
You beat me twice but who’s keeping score?

G C G C G C D
Nathalia! Let’s  go another round 
Nathalia! This time it’s going down!
Nathalia! now All my money’s spent
if you find us 4 more quarters, we can do it all over again

G C
(Instrumental)

G7… CD
well i met you down at the local bar
everyone seems to know who you are 
 
G C G D
Nathalia!Let's go out tonight
Nathalia! under the city lights 
Nathalia! we'll stay till final call
lets finish both our drinks before we hit the next pool hall
