2)   YOU MY EVERYTHING

Capo II C majorC E minorEm D MajorD

Chorus:

C majorC
Could have given me something
E minorEm    D MajorD
You my everything
C majorC                E minorEm D MajorD
You left me kneeling
C majorC
I was one of those people
E minorEm     D MajorD
You, my everything

C majorC
For what it's worth
          E minorEm
For what it's worth
           D MajorD
For what it's worth

C majorC
You were my backbone when
   E minorEm           D MajorD
My body ached with wearyness
C majorC
You were my hometown when
   E minorEm              D MajorD
My heart was filled with loneliness
C majorC
Just as the dark was rising
  E minorEm              D MajorD
I heard you close the door again
C majorC
Just as the light turns off
  E minorEm              D MajorD
I know who I dream of


Chorus:

C majorC
Could have given me something
E minorEm    D MajorD
You my everything
C majorC                E minorEm D MajorD
You left me kneeling
C majorC
I was one of those people
E minorEm     D MajorD
You, my everything
C majorC
You, my everything


C majorC
You are my only hope
E minorEm                D MajorD
The truth that dealt the consequence
C majorC
I know you don't feel the same
E minorEm               D MajorD
You're sensible but it doesn't make sense
C majorC
I know I'm gonna weep my heart out
E minorEm                      D MajorD
You know I'm gonna try much harder
C majorC
But it isn't the shit in my head
E minorEm            D MajorD
Holding me under this time

Chorus:

C majorC
Could have given me something
E minorEm    D MajorD
You my everything
C majorC                E minorEm D MajorD
You left me kneeling
C majorC
I was one of those people
E minorEm     D MajorD
You, my everything
C majorC
You, my everything

3)   HEARTS WITHOUT CHAINS

Capo V

A minorAm                       FF
You wake up, I know it's time to go.
     A minorAm                          FF
With a spinning head, I lie and watch you smoke.
        A minorAm                          FF
Chase the hands on my watch and hold you close,

This misery is weightless as a stone.


A minorAm                            FF
Have you lost the same things I have lost?
              A minorAm     FF
Do you know that panic I know?
A minorAm                      FF
Would I see the terror in your face?
    E minorEm                  G+G
Do you know that fever I know?

Chorus:

In our hearts without chains.

      FF   G+G  A minorAm
And if time was still,
      FF   G+G  A minorAm
We'd have no fear,
   FF   G+G  A minorAm
Or scars to heal,
      C majorC     G+G    FF
In our hearts without chains,
      C majorC     G+G    FF      G+G
In our hearts without chains.

A minorAm                            FF
You left everything behind except yourself,
       A minorAm                          FF
But all I see is question marks and nothing else.
             A minorAm                FF
You must have landed in New York by now.
E minorEm                   G+G
Please don't bring this love down.

A minorAm                            FF
Have you lost the same things I have lost?
              A minorAm     FF
Do you know that panic I know?
A minorAm                      FF
Would I see the terror in your face?
    E minorEm                  G+G    A minorAm (piano)
Do you know that fever I know?

Chorus:

      FF   G+G  A minorAm
I wish time was still.
     FF   G+G   A minorAm
We'd stay right here,
     FF  G+G  A minorAm
With time to kill,
     C majorC     G+G    FF
In our hearts without chains.

      FF   G+G  A minorAm
And if time was still,
      FF   G+G  A minorAm
We'd have no fear,
   FF   G+G  A minorAm
Or scars to heal,
      C majorC     G+G    FF
In our hearts without chains,
      C majorC     G+G    FF    E minorEm G+G
In our hearts without chains.

FF           C majorC    G+G
Don't bring this love down.
Don't bring this love down.

6) UNDER CONTROL

Capo IV E minorEm C majorC

E minorEm
I'll never forget that feeling
When I watched you disappear
       C majorC
And you made me stop believing
I could fight away the fear
E minorEm
Now the smoke has cleared
And the end is near
It was my illusion
C majorC
Like a broken dream I was incomplete
       D MajorD                      E minorEm
But your love was never the missing piece.


Chorus:

I feel like I am seeing again
                     A minorAm  C majorC  E minorEm  D MajorD
I feel like I am breathing again
                 A minorAm  C majorC
I got it under control
                 E minorEm  D MajorD
I got it under control
                E minorEm
I got it under control

E minorEm
All that's real is faded, like a car into the night
    C majorC
Like painkiller I take it
And I watch the world ignite
E minorEm
Now the smoke has cleared
And the end is near
It was my illusion.
     C majorC
Like a broken dream I was incomplete
        D MajorD    E minorEm
But your love was never the missing piece

Chorus:
                     A minorAm  C majorC  E minorEm  D MajorD

E minorEm             D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
Wild green stones alone my lover

E minorEm        D MajorD
Bite chunks out of me
E minorEm             D MajorD
You?re a shark and I?m swimming
E minorEm             D MajorD
My heart still thumps as I bleed
E minorEm                D MajorD
And all your friends come sniffing

E minorEm         D MajorD
Triangles are my favorite shape
E minorEm             D MajorD
Three points where two lines meet
E minorEm             D MajorD
Toe to toe, back to back, let?s go, my love; it?s very late
C majorC
?Til morning comes, let?s tessellate

Three guns and one goes off
E minorEm         D MajorD
One?s empty, one?s not quick enough
E minorEm         D MajorD
One burn, one red, one grin
E minorEm         D MajorD
Search the graves while the camera spins
E minorEm         D MajorD
Chunks of you will sink down to seals
E minorEm         D MajorD
Blubber rich in mourning, they?ll nosh you up
E minorEm         D MajorD
Yes, they?ll nosh the love away but it?s fair to say
E minorEm         D MajorD

MIDAS TOUCH
(feat. Burns)

C majorC A minorAm G+G E minorEm x2

A minorAm                     G+G
You say you're going through changes
E minorEm                      C majorC
Every day it seems your life is up and down
A minorAm                         G+G
And you say that you're looking for an answer
E minorEm                      C majorC
Everywhere you look it seems you can't be found

A minorAm                     G+G
Like searching, trying to find the rainbow
E minorEm                      C majorC
No one's ever found it, yet it's told to be
A minorAm                     G+G
But if you're looking for a lover
E minorEm
Everything you need, yeah, you can find right here with me


Chorus:
C majorC
I've got the Midas touch
A minorAm                   E minorEm
Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar

Now you've been trapped by love
E minorEm                      C majorC
Someone takes your heart and then says goodbye
A minorAm                     G+G
So you say that you'll never love another
E minorEm                      C majorC
Tired of playing games and that's the reason why

A minorAm                     G+G
But now whenever we're together
E minorEm                      C majorC
There's a certain feeling, that we both agree
A minorAm                     G+G
And it's time that you've opened up to love
E minorEm
Cause if you don't ever try, then baby, you may never see


Chorus:
C majorC
I've got the Midas touch
A minorAm                   E minorEm
Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar
C majorC
I've got the Midas touch
A minorAm                   E minorEm
Baby, let me touch your body and your soul (X2)

Together you and I we're meant to be
E minorEm                      C majorC
I'll be right beside whenever you need me
A minorAm                     G+G
This love we have will never fade away

You can count on me cause I'm here to stay, yeah
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm (x2)


Chorus:

Everything I touch turns to gold, oh sugar
