Unfortunately, I only synched up half the songs to the lyrics last night, and then forgot to bring in my chord notebook today to finish it off, so side 2 will have to wait a bit. Lyrics are from the website with corrections where I noticed them. 720 TIMES HAPPIER THAN THE UNJUST MAN D5 F5 D5 F5 Bb5 Db5 any fight that he can win G C Twenty miles walking down El Camino G C I was starving for young people we know G C No one calls but to weigh in against us G C Em A No one comes but to be somewhere else on the next bus I forget who could hand out the birth rights I forget who could break up the cat fights I forget who adjusted our high chairs I forget who could talk us down out of our nightmares Am G D Am G D Seven hundred and twenty times happier than the unjust man Am G D G D Dream the heaven where women fight hand to hand F D Help the galley slave be all he can I can tell that the industry's ravaged I could steal gas and live like a savage Sell it off if it isn't a canned good Break the twelve-string acoustic to pieces for firewood I can tell that you'd cut through the chatter I can tell that the critics would scatter I can tell by intangible somethings I can tell by your preference of smart things to dumb things Carve a way for the greater good Lose the dogs at the river bank You were kissing the summer gods, hot and rank Choose your meal from our display tank D Eyes still adjusting I have nothing to look at you with F But the mood that I'm in D I fill my days with work because I am lazy F Bb The way a coward is hungry to get in any fight Db That he can win What to do now with Pallas Athena Sharing space with the vats of retsina What to do with two heros in one plot What to say to two Johnnies who showed up on one spot Something old better fall and die When you ride in on something new Am G D G D And that's the deal that's been made between death and you Am G D G D that's the deal that's been made between death and you F D ONE WILL BE THE HIGHWAY Bb5 A5 G 4x G Am C 2x Bm A5 G 4x Em F C Em F C G Bb5 A5 G Bb G Almost empty in the Fillmore Bb G Ten or twelve who know the band look like they'll stay F But I'll be on my way C G D Heading back to work and days and morning Almost grabbed you for a photo Sprawled and laughing with the beers on empty tables And who would not be able To see that here was something to believe in A Em A It's too late to be wanting anything C G Besides what has to be G D Too late not to see F#m G D That like any other it's a ride F#m G D A Bb5 A5 G And one will be the highway that it drops us off beside We forget the need for soldiers For the sadness when a soldier has to die The tearful parent's eye Bringing into focus what needs watching How unlikely we should be here Free to take the other's hand with little danger Or leave it for a stranger Uncemented by the fear of losing It's too late to be wanting anything Besides what has to be Too late not to see That like any other it's a ride And one will be the highway this as well lies dead beside SAVE YOUR MONEY E You were going past airport security Glowing with purity C G Well worth the fare that was paid for you Past a red neon sculpture you ride The conveyor belt sidewalk An old married couple is blocking you A E And since your jacket was bought new Then a girl in a similar jacket Is going to be back in an hour Just because she remembers you Songs you bought for your Walkman cassette Are what younger kids get As if they must know something that you don't know A E And every white courtesy phone A Has a call and the call is for you Bb E And if you picked it up it would say A D Save your money A D G C G What you want is going to be C G More than A D A D You have got in either pocket G C G C G Wait and see F#m B A Wait and see You could come into stock market gains And redraw the terrains That were still up for grabs in between the towns In your dream it looks gorgeous and violet And you are the pilot Who's suddenly turning the plane around And in your dream it's going down And there's just enough vapor To write in the sky On your way to the ground Save your money What you want is going to be More than You have got in either pocket Wait and see NICE WHEN I WANT SOMETHING A C G Spending nights on carpets A C G Like the new La Brea tar pits A C G A D Fell from grace with those who say who gets into bed Counting foreign hours Here like Francis Gary Powers Trying to face the charges with the face of regret Bb Db E And build new wealth systems based on cigarettes I'm polite when crumbling And I'm nice when I want something I don't make a move before I know who would see Pull my leash up tightly Get upset with me so rightly Something here is wrong, I'm all for saying it's me I'm all for looking nice for company D We don't smoke We don't even smoke A E F#m C F There isn't even a haze of good excuses in the room D We don't die We don't qualify A E F#m C D We let Osiris in Egypt drag our suitcase through the gloom We don't think this frozen Spite is what we would have chosen Circumstances pulled us from our nature as friends But this is home, this is where we spend weekends YEARS OF WRONG IMPRESSIONS Eb C F Bb Eb Design your life Bb Db To live as if you're in a movie Ab And after three hours Eb Bb Anyone is going to think Gb Db Gb Db It's gone on too long Eb You're wondering why Bb Db I talk to you as if you knew me Ab Eb But what would years of wrong impressions Bb Gb Db Gb Do besides distract you from Db Ab Eb What should have been me Bb F Ab Maybe we'd better leave the past alone Cm Bb F I've had lovers and connections of my own Db Ab Waiting to be overthrown By anyone Bb F Ab Do you truly believe it's all arranged Cm Bb F For us to get under Photoshop and change Db Ab For approval of a stranger? Bb Do you doubt me? Db Ab Bb You've only heard good things about me I'm wanting this To be New York and we are Nico And Jackson Browne, and With our tambourine and Folk guitar, no city's Hard enough To drive us into desperation Or make us doubt the strength We get from just each other Rolling off the factory floor Maybe we'd better leave the past alone I've had lovers and connections of my own Waiting to be overthrown By anyone Do you truly believe it's all arranged For us to get under Photoshop and change For approval of a stranger? Do you doubt me? You've only heard good things about me F Bb Gm C I really shouldn't tell my problems to a stranger F Bb Gm But now I'm hoping, since I've told you, Db Ab Bb There's still a chance to hold you Maybe we'd better leave the past alone I've had lovers and connections of my own Waiting to be overthrown By anyone Do you truly believe it's all arranged For us to get under Photoshop and change For approval of a stranger? Do you doubt me? You've only heard good things about me BLACKNESS, BLACKNESS G D A 4x G D Wildness, wildness A G Like a teenager's eyes D Could heart-struck A Mean that you would be Em A This careless Em A F#m C With one that's in your hands A Bm Em Oh baby I guess I just am A Bm Em Oh baby I guess I just am Kindness, kindness You know it suited you Like sunshine carried All around with you Could you be This glad it's turned to sham Oh baby I guess I just am Oh baby I guess I just am Bm B Oh baby I guess I just am A F#m C#m At any given waking hour D I can in some way A F#m Bm E Stand to see a living thing freeze A F#m C#m But when I'm trying to sleep there's an ardor D That I can't quite explain A F#m Bm C7 And all that it can say is please Blackness, blackness Don't you know it hurts The loudest sound is Hands on the backs of shirts Can you be So sure your wrong will stand Oh baby I guess I just am Oh baby I guess I just am Oh baby I guess I just am Oh baby I guess I just am Wildness, wildness Kindness, kindness Blackness, blackness -- Dan Schmidt | http://www.dfan.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsub: send email to loud-fans-request@loudfans.com with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject.
