Ready or Not*

E A
Did all those things that I set out to do
Went out in a storm and I made it on through
Well my heart burns like a flame
Somebody said that yours does the same

I said I would do all the things that I did
Closed my eyes tight and I counted to 10
Well, ready or not cuz here I come
I’m loud as a train and you’re hot as the sun

C G A C (Em) C G A 
They saw you come in on a ray of light
We saw you come in on a wave
No one stopped it or paid it any mind
This could happen on any day

F C G
Oh I swear that I'm coming after you
I swear I’ll be by your side real soon
While Lightning is flashing across the sky
Thunder’s always following close behind

E A
Did all those things that I set out to do
The going gets tough but I get on through
It all falls down like a meteorite
Somebody said that it’d be alright

Against all odds in the face of the wind
Went looking for you so I could see where you hid
Well ready or not, cuz here I come
There’s no going back now we’re out on the run

B E
It’s already done
B A E
I’ll give you time to lose yourself
Picking up pieces from down below
So Even when breaching the speed of light
It won’t make a difference  how fast you go

C G A C (Em) C G A 
They saw you coming in on a radio wire
We saw you come in out the blue
No one stopped or paid it any mind
No one looked up to catch the view 

F C G
I swear that I'm coming after you
I swear I’ll be by your side real soon
When Lightning flashes across the sky
Thunder’s always following close behind

G F C
Ready or not Here I come!

Ready Or Not (Aaron Kane/Freezing Jesus) [iPhone Demo]

C F 
Up in the middle of the night
As I laid atop  my unmade mattress
A breeze blew by through the curtains 
Cast an unfamiliar sadness

I tried turning on the TV
To turn my attention to the news
Anything I thought of to distract myself
Nothing I did was any use
(G)

Tears began to well in my eyes
And i couldn’t just wipe them away
Seemed like it was all for no reason
Kept falling down across my face

I tried walking round the neighborhood
To give myself something to do
All it did was get me to thinking
About a lot of things but not about you

F G C Am
Oh someone must have been choppin’ onions last night
Outside of my window
I couldn’t stop crying 
Though I was really trying
The fact is that all i know
That salty tears would go perfect with some onions

C F C F G C
I wasn’t upset because of what you’d said
How you never want to see me again
You can close your eyes every time I walk by
Or you can move to the other side of town

And I wasn’t distraught because the good times were gone
That’s what our memories are for
I’ll remember every kiss, every smile, every dance
And how there won’t be any more…

I know I wasn’t sad because you walked out
And left me here to dwell
I think I’ll be so much more better off
Now that I have time to myself

And I wasn’t crying because you never cared
And the time we spent together was a waste
Certainly there were points where you did, I could tell
Otherwise we wouldn’t be here in the first place

F G C Am
someone must have been choppin’ onions last night
Outside of my window
I couldn’t stop crying 
though I was really trying
The fact is that all i know
That salty tears would go perfect with some onions

(Instrumental )

FCFCFCG
Maybe they were cooking up a stew
So i chopped some carrots up too 
Left out a pot of chicken broth on the front step
Maybe they could use
Put a potato on a plate 
and some celery just in case
I’ll step outside the next day
In the morning I’ll see what they made

F G C Am
Oh someone must have been choppin’ onions last night
Outside of my window
I was really trying 
But i couldnt stop crying
The fact is that all I know
That salty tears would go perfect with some onions

C Am
Walking down a one way street
Wait for nothing
its so cold and dark  at night
Feet are stumbling

Am C
Way out in the water see it swimming
Way out in the water and it's  swimming babe

Walking down a one way street
Never look back
didnt think to read those signs
but I should have

Am C
Way out in the water see it thrashing
Way out and its thrashing all around and bout

(instrumental)

Walking down a one way street
Going nowhere
Lately it’s been feeling like
I’m almost there

Am C
Way out in the water see it drowning
Way out in the water and it's drowning babe

I can tell the end is near
I just know it
used to answer to the wind
but it's just blowing

Am C
Way out in the water see it sinking 
Way out in the water and it's  going down

(instrumental)

Walking down a one way street
Taking my time
Counting every step I take
quickly loses its point


F Am
eeee eee ee ee ee ee ee eee

One Way Street (Aaron Kane Demo)

C F G
Got myself a very new pair of lungs
Right before I jumped
It was getting hard to breathe
Under all that weight
Felt it dissipate
Into something new
That I’d never seen
I was tangerine
I was clementine 
And peach

F G C Am

G Am G C 

C F G
Well i got myself a very new pair of eyes 
Right before I cried
It was getting hard to see
In that pitch black cave
Felt them ricochet
Bouncing off the walls
Every which way
I was creme brulee
I was pumpkin pie
And quiche


C F G
Well i got myself a very new pair of legs
Before i hit the deck
It was getting hard to stand
Over all that noise
But I had no choice 
The fork in the road was bent
And the knives were drawn
I was halfway gone
I was tequila salt
And lime

Pairs/Pears (Aaron Kane Demo)

(Am F) em C
Rolling stone through rolling thunder
know it  never stood a chance 
Rolling waves were washing over
Ground that stone to rolling sand

river ran into a mountain
brought the mountain to it's knees
eroded down to rolling hillside
then river ran into the sea

(C Dm) g am
But It never thought nothing, nothing was wrong
And it never felt like i knew, where I belonged  
And it never found a place that it could call home
well It never stayed in one place, four very long
      
Am F)  em c
took a trip along the river
until it came to the river's mouth
didn't know it's trip was over
until the river spit it out

then it rolled into the ocean
all that sand got swallowed whole
into the belly of the beast
that rolling sand has no control


(C Dm) g am
But It never thought nothing, nothing was wrong
And it never felt like i knew, where I belonged  
And it never thought that id find a place to  call home
well It never stayed in one place, four very long
      
Am g c 
Well rolling sands a rolling stone
Thats been weakened by the waves
Broken down by crashing breakers
and carried far away
heaven knows where it is going
Doesn’t  really want to know 
any way the wind is blowing
has no company in tow

(C Dm) g am (Slow)
But I never thought nothing was wrong
And i never felt like i knew, where I belonged

C Dm) g am (loud)
But I always had a song running through  my head
And I always had a dream that kept me 
And I always had the earth right beneath my feet
And I always had a heart with a steady beat
and i always had a fire raging in my soul 
and i always had a dream that could keep me going
blood coursing throughj my veins 
      

C Dm (Slow)
but i never thought that I’d find, a place called   home
well I never stayed in one place, four very long

Rolling Sand

Caught in a provoking wind
Hanging on by broken limbs
Shaken down like autumn leaves
Hit the ground and landed on our feet 

Then burrowed deep beneath the soil
We’ll be safe here for a while
Storm will pass and tempers fade
Sun will shine down on a winter's day
 
*
Am  G C (G7)
Tried to tell my baby that it’s getting cold
Light a fire, stay inside and watch the snow
In the morning dig ourselves up out this hole
Tell the reaper he can keep what he has sewn 

F C
buried alive
buried alive
OOO OO OO

(instrumental)

C Em
tried to mend these broken limbs
theres  nothing we could do for them
put the pieces back apart
theyve been like this since the start*
   
god don’t even know my name
saw me but don't recognize my face
Kept on walking without a second thought
left me standing in the dark 

Am  G C (G7)
Tried to tell my baby that it’s getting late
come inside, light a fire, call it a day
Picking up the shattered pieces off the ground 
Close your eyes, wipe your tears, collect yourself 

F C
Barely alive
barely  alive
OOO OO OO

might as well accept my fate

Their hiding under ground
in a dimly lighted room
the roof will cave in on them soon
they never stood a chance
might as well accept our fate

Broken Limbs, Buried Alive

C Dm Am
Every day we fall a little deeper into debt
Just to see how deep that we can get?
At the edge dipped our feet into the red
Pretty soon we were in up to our necks

Hard to say how we got in this mess
Took one wrong turn just to see where it led
Potholes in the road gotta watch where we step
My heart dont beat and my souls unfed

Right before we went under took in one deep breathe
Gotta whole lotta problems but not one regret
Sold my soul to the devil just to relieve this stress
Thought some luck might come now we got nothing left

F G
Cuz blood sweat and tears just ain't enough right now
Put in the work but we got nothing out
Threw our last penny down the wishing well
Nothings gonna happen while we’re sitting still

(instrumental)

C Dm Am
Everyday we fall a little deeper into debt
Now it seems that we’re deep as we can get
At the bottom cant see through all the red
Pretty soon we were in above our heads

it's hard to pay back all the money we're lent
just look the other way and we'll be gone with the wind
we took a long road, couldn't see past the bend
If we take the first step then we can get through the rest

and the Grass is always greener once you're over the fence
liked the sound of that so its right where we went
if life gets easy we;ll kick our feet up at the desk
no matter what they say, just know were doing our best

F G
Cuz blood sweat and tears just ain't enough it seems
emptied out the pockets of our worn out jeans
dropped our last quarter in the vending machine
nothings gonna happen if we dont believe

FCGAm (2x)**
but we didnt know the water got so deep
if we knew we never woulda jmped in
we were too busy living in the moment
and *didnt see the bottom dropped off so quick

well we didn't know the water got so deep
if wed known we never woulda jumped in
and we couldnt tell that theres no way out
all that we can do is sink or try to swim

In The Red

Icarus in Limerence
G C
When the blood rushed into my head
I knew that I was in for it
And when you fingers brushed up on my leg
Seemed like you were into it
Press me up against your lips
Ohh your shmoking like a shigarette
Now i'm lingering in limerence
Nothing that I say will make a difference

F C
Like icarus was flying across the sun
Lost a wing and fell into the ocean
When i fell it was more a crash and burn
Like a satellite coming back to earth

GC
ever since the very first glance
oo you really piqued my interest
we were standing on your door step 
when you kiss me werent you being generous
Got me in between your fingertips
Wont you roll me up and shmoke me like a shigarette
think this might be an addiction
always tryna get another hit of it

FC
then icarus’ wings began to melt
Can't imagine how good it must have felt
When i touched it was more a hit and run
It was gone like the wind knocked out my lungs

F C
Like icarus was flying across the sun
Lost a wing and fell into the ocean
When i fell it was more a crash and burn
Like a satellite coming back to earth

Icarus In Limerence

F C
Outside of a show, I shoulda just said no 
Cuz I was taken
Felt you leaning in, while I was leaning back
On what I believed in

G Am
You were just so nice to say hello
I could see exactly where this goes

F C
Standing by the road, Wanting to be close
But I just couldn’t
The heart should have been full, mine  was  being pulled
In two directions

G Am
You were just so nice to show a smile
Slide up to my side and talk a while

C Am
We’re only human
So it can’t be wrong
Now I’m assuming
That this won’t last long
In another universe
Another time and place
We’d be out of here 
and on our way
(instrumental)

F C 
I took love  for granted (uh)
Watching as it vanished 
Into thin air
I shouldve made a move
Let it drip on through the grooves
between my fingers

G Am
how could i have known in just a  week
my situations changed suddenly im free 

FC
Now I’m all alone Staring at my phone
I'm back to square one
Can’t go back in time no way to make things right
Can only move on

G Am
looking back i see that you were through
if im being honest I was too
(instrumental)

C Am
We’re only human
So it can’t be wrong
Now I’m assuming
That this won’t last long
In another universe
Another time and place
We’d be out of here 
and on our way

Taken

D G D
I sold my soul to get out of a hole ....All i needed was some rope or a ladder
Then I cut my losses with a guilty conscience .... All i needed was a knife or a dagger

G A D
I lost my mind right about that time... Somewhere in this mess I’d made
And I found myself in a pad locked cell ...Couldn’t recall my name
Didn’t know who I was

D G D
I spent my days in a swirling haze......Weaving in and out of a dream
It was hard to believe everything I was seeing.....Even harder to see a will to believe in

G A D
As the sun passed by I felt a moment of joy.....Followed by a ceaseless dread
I watched as my life passed before my eyes......surely must be dying or dead 
Wished the nightmares would end 

GADGA
Well, Hell ain't for the weak......And Heaven ain’t for those like me
My heart breaks like glass on the floor
Well, Hell ain’t for the weak......And Heaven ain’t for those like me
My heart breaks like waves on the shore

D G D
I sold my soul to break out of a mold......All i needed was to pick up a hammer
I looked all around but there was no way out......All i needed was to riddle the answer

G A G D
Then the tiniest hole began to slowly grow......Soon light came pouring on through
And the slightest touch made the whole wall slump......Down into a pile of dust
Now I knew where I was

D G D
I put one foot out ......In front of the other foot now
That’s all that I really needed to do.......I found my faith in a steady pace
And Hummed a little walking tune

G A D G
I didn’t think twice as I Stepped outside.......And trudged into that great beyond
With a swing to my step and a song in my head......There’s no reason i would ever stop
Now I finally could see

GADGA
Well, Hell ain't for the weak.....And Heaven ain’t for those like me
My heart breaks like glass on the floor
Well, Hell ain’t for the weak......And Heaven ain’t for those like me
My heart breaks like waves on the shore

Bm G A
i dragged my feet through the scorching sand.......drank from the fountain where i washed my hands
i carved my name into my skin......i cross my heart and i hope to live


G A
it’s a long way down
I’ll see you around

GADGA… D
Well Hell ain't for the weak.....And heaven ain’t for those like me
My heart breaks like sun through the clouds
And Hell ain’t for the weak......And heaven ain’t for those like me
My heart couldn’t wait to break out!

Things That Break

Life is a Draag

C F
Flicked the cigarette ash as the snow fell...Life is such a drag
the shorter breaths you take...The longer it’ll last 
Can anything be like it once was?....Only time will tell
don’t you act surprised ....When you die and go to hell

Am C
A little light shines in the distance....a hazy yellow glow
Street lamp flickers on and off...Till finally out it goes 

A train cries out of the silence....Made us turn our heads
If only for a second...It did break us from this trance 

Cold crept into our  fingers....To the wind they were exposed
Made its way through flesh and blood....And settled on the bones

Now there's two figures standing....Twin smokestacks on the porch
One’s a rotting skeleton....One’s a bluish  corpse

 (instrumental )

C F
They flicked the cigarette ash as the snow fell....Life is such a drag
Because every breath you take...Gets you closer to the end 
Things can get better but they might not....Life ain’t always fair
So don’t you act surprised ....When you die and no one cares

Am C
Then the skeleton turned to the cadaver... says with a shaky start
“whatever  life do throw at us....It can't rib us apart”

Then the corpse looked up at his old friend...cracked a honest smile
“You really tell a killer joke...Haven’t heard one in a while”

They looked down at their cigarettes...Had turned to bits of ash
Hard to tell if eternity or....No time at all had passed

Then they gazed out on the front lawn....Both let out a sigh
Without another word the two... huddled back inside



CF
Flicked the cigarette ash as the snow fell....Life is such a drag
Every day you live, you can never get it back

In the end those two decided ...didn't bother them too much 
As long as you live purposefully...One life is quite enough 

Em Am Dm
Ooo oo oo 
 Ooo oo oo
Ooo oo oo 
 Ooo oo oo

Drag

everybody saying that they want it 
well  if you really want it  go and get it 
when you go and get it you gon instantly regret it
cuz its never quite as good as you imagined 
you dont even know what youre looking for baby (uh)  
maybe you could do a little searching
deep inside your soul theres a puzzle piece thats missing its  the reason why your feeling all this hurting

i always thought * that what I wanted
would fall into my hands if i was patient
there i was sitting i was hating how i was living now i realize i gained nothing with my waiting
some point i finally had enough of it
then i knew i had to try out  something different
nothing was gonna change till i got out of my seat onto my feet into the heat and started living


from the very moment that it started
i already knew how it would turn out 
everything was pointing towards an imminent disaster
there was nothing we could do to stop the burn out
well i jumped out of the flames like a hero with a cape but l looked back and cape had caught on fire
tried to put it out, took it off stomped on the ground, in a second i was right on back to walking


blood runs cold on this old dark road
when you notice there was no one around
sun goes down and the heat went out 
cant see or even hear any sounds
gotta feeling that you been here before
scream and you run for the door
youre tryna escape, its already too late
youll always come back here for more*

everybody saying that they want it 
well  if you really want it  come and get it 
when you come and get it imma have it ready for ya
all you gotta do is ask youve got it coming
you dont even know what youre looking for baby (uh)  
i cant even get the time of day
lifes not really  that complicated either
so then why we gotta make it that way

Come and Get It

Match

Do you recall the night we lit the match .... Flame was burning bright as it ever had
F C G am F C G
Well I hadn’t known you long but I knew that this ain’t wrong....I’d go as far to say it’s meant to be
I hadn’t known you long but I thought I’d write a song...About just how much youd meant to me
C F am
Do you recall the night was pouring rain....Couldn’t put a dampen on our flame
F C G am F C G
wrapped up in your arms We would keep each other warm.....sometimes I could hardly stand the heat
With your legs around my waist I’d move in for a little taste.....didnt even mind was bittersweet

CHORUS
F C G C
Close your tired eyes.... lights flickering off the wall
dont worry bout the time....don't matter much at all
F C
while Im lying next to you....and Youre lying next to me
close as we could be  without being one

C F am
When the morning came the match was still aglow..... Seemed like time would creep along real slow
F C G am F C G
quietly id wait.... for you to gently wake.....cuz i was always up before you were 
youd lie there turned away till the sun would hit your face.....wed start our day without saying a word
C F am
Do you recall before i had to go...... we always took our time and cut it close
F C G am F C G
I’d stand outside your door I could kiss you till I was sore......Wishing that I never had to leave
I’d finally say goodbye  and I’d look into your eyes..... Thats the only place id want to be

She could sing me to sleep…she could burn down the house with just our body heat

She could block out the sun…. She could light up the room
Gimme a run for my money , make my nose all runny….She just waltzed right into my life

I could swim in her eyes….       Then get lost in her gaze
And if I forget to breathe she’ll just give a little squeeze … she just brought me right back to life

Wake Up From This Dream

Dm A C F

I’ve got new friend… Who makes me feel at home
I've got new friend… Who makes me feel alive
Tenderly I run my finger… Up and down her side
Maybe I was foolish… To say what's on my mind

It’s never enough to satisfy us
It’s never enough to satisfy us

I’ve had Nightmares… Where I’m not in control
I’ve got headrot… from too much time alone
Got just what I wanted… But how could I have known
Now our conversations… always turning into moans

It’s never enough to satisfy us
It’s never enough to satisfy us
It’s never enough to satisfy us
It’s never enough to satisfy us

(Instrumental)

It’s never enough to satisfy us
It’s never enough to satisfy us
It’s never enough to satisfy us
It’s never enough to satisfy us
It’s never enough to satisfy us
It’s never enough to satisfy us

Never Enough

(verse 1)
Porcupine kisses and jelly fish hugs
Handshakes with lobsters, caterpillar back rubs

All of my friends got turned into bugs
We are the ones with no one to love

Thunder and lightning came crashing in the night
It was all frightening but still lit up the sky

Stars up above, point to the light
Where do we go?
Where do we go?


(verse 2)
Sat with the hens under rain filled clouds
A salamander joined us and were buddies now
It started to pour on our cold blooded friend
We'll sit together in our separate pens

Sang with the monsters living under my bed
They might be scary but need their beauty rest
Lullaby's lulled them as they fell asleep
Sometimes i wonder what they do in their dreams

(outro)
Porcupine kisses and jelly fish hugs
Handshakes with lobsters, caterpillar back rubs

All of my friends got turned into bugs
We are the ones with no one to love

Porky And Jelly

June bugs in July seem  out of place
but they're always welcome to stay round and play

tigers in cages are known to pace
they need to be free with wide open space

I'm at a party with people I don't know
look at the clock think it's bout time that I go 


 all comes crashing down
 the puzzle is missing some pieces
the lost can always be found
things always happen for reasons
unless they don't



June bugs in July and mayflies in June
Doesn't make sense but not many things do

Bats in their caves hang around all the day
Anyone else would fall flat on their face

I'm at a party with all of my best friends
looking around think Ill stay till the ending


all comes crashing down
walking through life's like a maze is
lost can always be found
things always fall in their places
unless they don't
