Autumn Comes LYRICS:
—————————————————————————-

D-A-Hm-G

Spend the night out in the garden
By the surface of the water
And it gets harder and harder
As it grows colder and colder

The bars seem warm, as autumn comes
Like the leafs we fall
Into their arms

We are walking in the moonlight
We are staring into skies
We’re reflecting in the mirrors
Of each other’s eyes

It’s easy, we can’t believe it’s true
They’re just people,
They don’t know what they do

To us, when autumn comes
Like rain we fall
Into their arms

Soon LYRICS:
—————————————————————————-

Bm-G-Em-A

they called us unfair, said they did what they must
that the ends justified the means of the past

we are kind and fogiving, we tend to forget
when we’re careless and callous, we often regret it
we’re blind and naive, we are stalwart and proud
and we can’t belive what we found out

we laugh at the kings, they know what comes after
the powers are right to be scared of laughter

they know where it leads,
out of our homes and into the streets

they’ve already been told,
you rule with a fist, then die by the sword

we’re on the corners of all the streets
they’re above us and they know that
we have come wash our feet in blood
of those who came before us

we’re scared but we will hold our ground
you just have to look around
we know we’ll be crushed, we know we’ll lose
but it is our fate to choose

good-bye father, soon we’ll be together
if that is our worth, then this is how it’s measured

good-bye mother, soon we’ll be together
if that is our worth, then this is how it’s measured

good-bye love, soon we’ll be together
if that is our worth, then this is how it’s measured

We Didn’t Lie LYRICS:
—————————————————————————-

Em7-Am-C-G-F

We didn’t lie, our friends knew where we were
They knew of what and why,
They’ve seen it all before.

The spring suprised us both, it came in unannounced
The flowers and the warmth
Arrived without a sound

And people like us are far too rare
But this scene plays our everywhere
With quite guitars and minor chords
We lost what we loved, and that’s the cost

And cities like ours forgive their best
Patios and bars will give us rest
Sidewalks and crowds will give us home
People will part and we’ll move on

And dew drops on grass will wash our feet
Scooters and cars will roam the streets
Balloons and kites will float above
Evenings and nights won’t last too long

Em7-A-Dm-G-C

And later in the summer, when the wind subsides
When the heat surrounds you

Sitting on the park bench, staring at the clouds
I will think about you

Faintly Glow LYRICS:
—————————————————————————-

Em-C-G-D

Brightly the morning bathes the city in the sun
And the light falls on the thousands of lives that she knows
Yet she only lives one

Oh no, what’s wrong? is it your mind in disarray?
Where to go? What to do? And what to say?
You don’t know, so you follow and obey

And afternoons come slowly where you’re from
The moon and stars will faintly glow
But not yet shine

And words come hard when times are rough like this
The friends and family that you missed
Once upon a time

If we are not forgiven, we’re sorry that we lied
We’re no longer children wasting our time
Suddenly it matters what is bad and good
I will write you letters, like I said I would

And we will come back slowly, but we will finish strong
We will right what really, should have not been wronged
But light is just like darkness, they surround us
And look at our future it’s just like our past

It’s a matter of patience, we will wait it out
Looking for redemption that will not be found
And suddenly it’s clear why it all seems wrong
We’re not like our peers, we do not belong

Changes LYRICS:
—————————————————————————-

D-A-Hm-G

People say our time is wasted
We congregate in peculiar places.
We know, the further they go,
The weight on their shoulders grows and grows.
They lie, the look in their eyes
Is something we can recognize.

Others think with a bit more power
They can change such views as ours
They try, in courts, and offices
In schools and universities
But change, comes from within
And think about it what you will

Spring time, we’re underneath the same sky
In the shadows of the same dark clouds

Rain falls on the cars and windows
of the bars, where we are safe and sound

We leave when stars come out
Street lights reflecting at our feet
These nights we often ask ourselves
Just what else do we need

Over the Holidays LYRICS:
—————————————————————————-

Fm-G-C-Am

They almost spilled their whiskey, toasting their achievements
But now it’s time, please kindly die
Take off your tie, it suits you fine
It’s not a crime to share your life with friends

The world is not a whore, don’t pay it
It is not a law, so don’t
Obey it any more, this is the end

Over the holidays, look both ways then cross
Pretend that you are lost

Or take it to the road, the sunset in a sea side town
The moon and clouds

The paper boats along the river bank
The random stops along the interstate
The summer breeze

The small towns barely getting by
On vintage stores and homemade pies

This land that we inherited, but squandered

Behind Bars LYRICS:
—————————————————————————-

Hm-F#m-D-A-Em-G

They spend too many hours behind bars
On top and often underneath them
Let’s try and figure out what it means and then
Their fate might not be ours

The wine and weed, take off the edge
Sometimes the edge is what is needed
And they regret making new friends
When their new friends have succedded

F-Em-Am-Dm

The breakdown and the fortress
Built within a week.
You hate those fuckers
They will not die in their sleep

The silence, and the phone is dead
The cord ripped out
Give it a year and you might
figure this thing out.

A Touch Too Much LYRICS:
—————————————————————————-

Am-C-Dm-Em

We run through the meadows
We crash through the door
There’s war in the ghettos
In suburbs there’s war

And it’s all a touch too close to home
And we think too much to ever know

How the somber eyes see the darkest night
How the somber hearts know what’s wrong and right

On the river bank we
Lay in the sand
In the shade of the trees
We understand

And it’s all a touch too close to home
And we think too much to ever know
How the somber eyes glow
How the somber hearts overflow

Fm-Am-Dm-Em

And we won’t apologize
It is just as we decided
But it’s all a touch too much
And it seems a bit misguided

But we won’t be holding back
Or pretend that we’re unhappy
But it’s all a touch too sad
and it’s all a bit too heavy
