Intro and verse: A F#m Bm or D variation - A string rings out for all chords
Pre-chorus: C#m Bm C#m D
Chorus: A D A D A
Lock your doors, shutter your blinds
And close your pretty eyes
The future ain't bright, it's black as night
And we can't find the switch
Stumblin' around and stubbin' our toes
On borrowed time and a powdered nose
Countin' down for the curtain call
The car won't start, engine's stalled
But I don't know what I can do
No I don't know what I can do for you
'Cause you can only wait
You can only wait for so long
You can only wait
You can only wait for so long
A little off the cuff, jean jacket sleeves rolled up
Cigarette hangin' just so
Money's all spoken for, it's gotta go
It's got nothing left to say
Generation oh, lonesome me
Staring down at a world that's starin' back at me
Cross your fingers, dot your I's
Maybe we've got one more surprise
But I don't know what I can do
No, I don't know what I can do for you
'Cause you can only wait
You can only wait for so long
You can only wait
You can only wait for so long
'Cause you can only wait
You can only wait for so long
You can only wait
You can only wait for so long

Verse: A A D Bm (A string rings out on all)
Chorus: E D E D
Bridge: C#m D C#m D E E E E A
And it's okay, that you don't write me back
It's only been forever
And it's okay, it's the golden age of indifference
So what's the difference now?
You've always had a talent for survival
Yes you've always had a talent for survival
But that's not me
It's a seesaw of emotion
Never saw you go, never shoulda closed my eyes
Now I'm wasted, all my years
Never shoulda closed my eyes
Never shoulda let you go, oh no
You've always had a talent for survival
Yes you've always had a talent for survival
But that's not me
Count me, you can count me out
Count me, you can count me out
'Cause, baby, 'cause, baby
That's the way it's gotta be
All this white noise in my ear
We don't hear the same song anymore
So who's listening now? I don't know
The ringing's stopped but the screamin' goes
You've always had a talent for survival
Yes you've always had a talent for survival
But that's not me

Verse: G G C C D
Pre Chorus: Bm C D Bm C D
Chorus: G quick D Em Am C D
Pay me no mind, I ain't got no sense
Maybe some time after this is all over
We'll meet again and try and get sober
Or some place in between
Love, hate, matches, and gasoline, oh
I never listened to the good word
Stuck on the feeling I'm a fool
Don't leave the house, don't leave the house for nothin'
Don't leave the house, don't leave the house for nothin'
Do what I can to keep the light on in my head
A way to keep the green, green from turning red
Green from turning red
I don't go out looking for trouble
'Cause if I do it'll find me double
It's all over now, oh
It's all over now
The days drift away
The nights take me down slow
Tomorrow's only got eyes for you
The days drift away
The nights take me down slow
Tomorrow's only got eyes for you

Verse: E Em7 F#m F#m7
Chorus: G#m A G#m A A
Bridge: A E A E A E B B
Slow it down, you're moving too fast for this world
I'm tired of seeing you drag yourself
Through the fire, and the mud, and the blood, and the beer
It's not like you to become so close with death, no
I could try to change your mind
But you can't seem to help but hold your breath
Waiting for the lights to change
Just waiting for the lights to change
Waiting, for the lights to change
The truth is out there somewhere but I haven't met her yet
I've been looking down both barrels
I've been about as good as I get
Waiting for the lights to change
Just waiting for the lights to change
Waiting, for the lights to change
Sad-eyed lovers
Staring at the world passing them by
Settled on the middle
But they don't mind
They're just waiting for the lights to change
Just waiting for the lights to change
Waiting, for the lights to change
I'm waiting
Always waiting
For the lights to change
Oooh ooooh

Verse: C F C F
Pre Chorus: Dm/Dm7/Dm/Dm7 C
Chorus: Am F Am F G
I don't, I don't see it clearer now
No, I don't care about the old days anymore
Jaded, jaded, baby, baby, where'd you go?
Well I don't wanna know
Well maybe I do?
I tried to see
To see things through your eyes
I put the world on my shoulders, too
But all those people we once knew
They've got different lives than me and you
Always, always my worst enemy
Oh you know this better, better than anyone
When the nighttime is the right time and anything goes
But I know better, don't I?
Well I do
I tried to see
To see things through your eyes
I put the world on my shoulders, too
But all those people we once knew
They've got different lives than me and you
Pay no matter
Pay no mind
I ain't got nothing but borrowed time
All my life
All my love
It goes nowhere
But still I ain't got enough
I ain't got enough

Intro/verse: F variation or Dm G
2nd part of verse: C F F G
Chorus: C F F variation G
As far as I'm concerned
This was the darkest winter yet
I was wrapped up in my room
You know I never left my head
For eight weeks straight
I was bent out of shape
No one checking in
Never thought I'd find love again
That's when I found you, it's true
That's when I found you
It was always dark in my corner
No one wipin' at my brow
I wasn't looking for a fight
But it found me anyhow
And when the lights came up
It was swept under the rug
The crowd was clearin' out
And I saw you standing there
That's when I found you, I swear
That's when I found you
Ohhhh Ohh oh
That's when I found you, it's true
That's when I found you
I swear, it's true
That's when I found you
That's when I found you

Tired of the Small Talk
03:10

I'm in a different place than I was
I'm in a different place than I think I am
Time well wasted
You'll get me talkin' when I'm drinkin'
I'll be stumblin' on my words
'Cause I've got a million of 'em
Some of which you might've misheard
Don't know what I need from you
Don't know what I need to do
And I don't wanna be here
Any more than you do
I'm tired of the small talk
Tired of the small talk, yeah
You know I wrestle with my thoughts
I can't help but lose
To the boy who says he's not into you
I tried to be what I know I'm not
I tried to steal but I, I got caught
Don't know what I need from you
Don't know what I need to do
And I don't wanna be here
Any more than you do
Don't know what I need from you
Don't know what I need to do
And I don't wanna be here
Any more than you do
I'm tired of the small talk
Tired of the small talk, yeah

Valentine

Take your lover
Take 'em by the hand
Tell 'em you love 'em like nobody else can
Scream from the rooftop
Shout it from across the room
Tell your sweetheart
What they really mean to you
'Cause now's not the time for restraint
You're either in or you ain't
You better find your love
Hold 'em tight
Like it's the end of the world
You better find your love
Hold 'em tight
Like it's the end of the world tonight
Tell your lover
That they're heard and understood
Show you can love them
Like some secret latin lover would
'Cause now's not the time for restraint
You're either in or you ain't
You better find your love
Hold 'em tight
Like it's the end of the world
You better find your love
Hold 'em tight
Like it's the end of the world
You better find your love
Hold 'em tight
Like it's the end of the world
You better find your love
Hold 'em tight
Like it's the end of the world tonight
