Streetlight Medley chords by Streetlight Manifesto

Chords with lyrics

have chord progressions that are similar... and sometimes the same. Not too long
ago, I got the idea to put a medley together - Much like the infamous
Point/Keasbey Nights/Counterpoint that every SM loves so much. Except this
one isn't quite as epic, and it contains a few more songs. 5 to be exact. So, I put
one together last night containing 12341234, The Big Sleep, Supernothing,
One Foot On the Gas, One Foot In the Grave, and Somewhere In the Between.
This is a rough version, and I'm sure it could be better. These tabs are not my
own, I got them from this site, though I did make a change here and there. If
you have any questions, comments or suggestions feel free to email me - [email protected].


Streetlight Medley

Words and Music by Tomas Kalnoky

Arranged by Matt Warunek

--------------------

C majorC
You, you try, you try to get by.
    A minorAm
"You're never going to pull it off", "You shouldn't even try"
	 FF
"You're a wet cigarette", "You're always second best",
      G+G
but they're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves.
C majorC
 so you fight for them to realize;
  	A minorAm
there's more to life, there's more to you, there's more than meets the eye.
FF
And when you're done, the battle's been won.
  G+G
You sit back, you smile and this is what you hum, you hum:

C majorC
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G+G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

FF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

C majorC
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G+G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

FF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

A minorAm
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

FF
I hope you think of me, yeah

C majorC
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G+G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

FF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na


G+G
He wakes up sad again and he wonders when the rain will end,
G+G
She acts like she don’t care cause to her it’s just a game, that he plays,
FF
I’m a super, I’m a nothing, I’m a no one, goin’ nowhere fast,

C majorC
But I don’t care, but I don’t care,
           FF
I’m a super, I’m a nothing, I’m a no one, goin’ nowhere fast,
     G+G
But I don’t care, but I don’t care.

  C majorC
The years go by, the time it does fly.
A minorAm
Every single second is a moment in time that
FF
passes oh, so quick and it seems like nothing,
  G+G
but when you're looking back, well it amounts to everything.
   C majorC
I've got myself. I've got my friends.
   A minorAm
I've got my little family, but that's not where it ends.
   FF
This one goes out to you, it goes out to everyone.
   G+G
It's in the name of honesty because life has just begun.


C majorC
Started with six or seven, moved on to eight or nine. What will you do when they come
you?
C majorC
Nobody seemed to notice, nobody seemed to mind. What will you do when they come for you?
C majorC
Little miss demissed can't miss like a detuned radio. I cannot believe you when you tell
what you know
G+G
  C majorC
And nothing will be broken if your house is made of stone. But you will know as I do it
never be a home


G+G
We want it, they got it. They claim we'll die without it
G+G
But something tells me they are wrong

          G+G


  C majorC
So what will you do when they call your name and you're not ready to go?
C majorC
Everyone will stare at you and tell you what you know
	  G+G
That you're in too deep and you can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
  A minorAm
We might just make it after all, on our own
  C majorC
We might just make it after all
      A minorAm
But we had one foot on the gas and one foot in the grave
C majorC
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
G+G
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made


A minorAm
All the times he said he would she never really understood,
C majorC
What he said, or what he meant, he won't forget what wasn't said,
G+G
He’ll find himself alone standing in the rain, yeah, yeah, yeah,
FF
I’m a super all or nothin’, I’m a no one, going nowhere fast,
           G+G
But I don’t care,
FF
I’m a super all or nothin’, I’m a no one, going nowhere fast,
           G+G
But I don’t care, but I don’t care.

     G+G
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
  A minorAm
And everything else was part of the plan
  G+G
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
      FF
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end
    C majorC
And we all just idolize the dead

      A minorAm
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
        G+G
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
  FF
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
  C majorC
And nothing and no one will ever take that away


A minorAm
Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home

G+G
We had a heart-to-heart about life

E minorEm
But neither him or me could decide for ourselves

G+G
If we wanted to outlive that night

A minorAm
Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls

G+G
Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes

E minorEm
If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole

G+G
What a wonderful world this could be!


C majorC
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G+G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

FF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

C majorC
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G+G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

FF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na


A minorAm
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

FF
I hope you think of me, yeah

C majorC
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G+G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

FF
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na


 C majorC
So do the right thing or do nothing. What will you do when they come for you?
C majorC
Or just do what is easier. What will you do when they come for you?
C majorC
That's what I read what I swear they said to me. Nine times out of ten they lied to me
G+G
And after all they had the guts to say Son, no one will save you now
G+G
We want it, they got it. They claim we'll die without it
G+G
But something tells me they are wrong


 A minorAm
So, how many more examples until we break?

  G+G
So how many sacrifices must we make?

G+G
Because we've all been there once before

E minorEm
And it looks like we've returned once more

G+G
So is this the beginning or the end?

G+G
The last two soldiers on the battlefield

A minorAm
Survivors of the war

G+G
They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord

      G+G
"If you're listening, I'm missing him

  E minorEm
So somehow bring him home.

G+G
How did it come to this?"

G+G
So the soldiers lift their rifles

A minorAm
And they're aiming at the head

G+G
They think of their first love before they take their final breath

E minorEm
And somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said:

G+G
"How did it come to this?"

Outro Chorus

A minorAm
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

FF
I hope you think of me, yeah.


     G+G
Yeah, the times we had, they were not that bad
  A minorAm
And everything else, that was part of the plan
    G+G
And we sang, "I don't know where we go from here"
      FF
This is the Alpha (Alpha!), Omega (Omega!), beginning and the end!
    C majorC
And we all just idolize the dead

      A minorAm
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
        G+G
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
  FF
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
  C majorC
And nothing and no one will ever take that away


And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end

But we can't just get in line again.
