A G D
Where you gonna take it if you got no time?
Listen for the ticking, ain't hard to find
Move a little closer and you might just see
How ya gonna make it if you won't let go?
Too many lies, yeah. your blood run cold
A little more heart is the thing you need
Chorus:
[Em] You tell me that love is blind
[D] But hold on honey, take it on down the line
You say it's just a waste of time
Hold on honey, everything gonna be fine
Try to build a river on a moonlit night
The piece in the pocket might fit too tight
Only one thing gonna make this last
Holding onto nothing can't let it go
Slowly turns that heart to stone
When the time runs out, going nowhere fast
Chorus:
You tell me that love is blind
But hold on honey, take it on down the line
Bridge:
[Em] Got this feeling
[C] Not so easy
[G] Lost in dreams
[D] Of gold
Wake up tired
Uninspired
The same old shit
Gets old
Solo over bridge chords: Em C G D Em
Holding out for a change of pace
Burning up all that saved up grace
Backing out of the last dead end
Chorus:
We can take it back down the line
But hold on honey, think I'm gonna change my mind
if we're gonna be alright
Someday honey, we're gonna have to feel alright

How do you do
by Adam H.
Tune down half step
D (hammering on)
You wasted your time
A
that I want to make clear
D
You're making me wait
A
cause you hold me so dear
G
And you're running
A
Heart on a place
G
And you're running
A
Don't hesitate
You turn it down low
now it's something to hear
I'm reading your lips
Cause you sound so sincere
And I wonder
How do you do?
And I wonder
When you come true
Chorus:
Em A
You make me feel so blue
You make me feel like you
You're all that I can do
You do what you like
but you don't disappear
You're working it out
but it's turning so weird
And you love it
More than you care
And you love it
It's more of a dare
Chorus:
Tell me how you do it
And I might beat right through it
Tell me how you do it
Cause I still feel the same
Ending: D A D A ...

yer gonna waste it
by Adam H.
Tune down half step
Chorus:
G
Yer gonna waste it
C
Yer gonna waste it
F Am F
Yer gonna waste your time again
Repeat chorus
G
Things are not the same together
C
These un-made minds, whatever
F
Stick it in your side forever
Am D
Rather be alone
You lay down one last love letter
Things could’ve been worse or better
Used to be a real go-getter
Yeah, you want to leave, but don’t
Am C
And when you’re backing out that door
Pretend you can’t take anymore
Sometimes the good things last
G F C
Sometimes you leave them in the past
But now you want what's gone the most
But now you want what's gone the most
Chorus x2
Everything you know is broken
Acceptance speech unspoken
Trading out your cash for tokens
Waiting for a ride
One last chance gone, forget it
Microscopic code, embedded
Paralyzed disease, infected
Probably won’t, but might
And you can’t take this anymore
Confused decisions in a war
Sometimes the good things last
Sometimes you leave them in the past
But now you want what's gone the most
But now you want what's gone the most
How do you make the good things last?
How do you make the good things last?
Chorus x3, ending on G
End

but they might
by Adam H.
Capo on 2nd fret, Harp in A
C Cm G
C Cm G
It’s hard to know just what you need
Somehow instinctive in your dreams
C Cm
No use in wondering
G E
But it feels just like pretend
A
We all wake up in the morning
D D7
So you might as well sleep in
Walk right out that front door, then it slams
Shut off the chances with some plans
Excruciating choices that should of been for laughs
You throw a rock off of a mountain
And you wonder where it lands
Harmonica solo:
G F C x3
G F A
D Dm A
I know they’re not so hard to find
The things we look for in our minds
D Dm A F#
Deliberate visions counted out in time
B
They might not hold the answers
E
But they might

Turning me around
by Adam H.
Capo on 2nd fret, Harp in D
G (hammer on G/B)
Turn around another voice
Laugh out loud, we've got no choice
C C/B Am Am/G D
Life tumbling inside
Turning yours to mine
Tell me once, I'm running scared
Tell me twice, still unprepared
for running out of time
Stepping out of line
Chorus:
D G D C
You're still turning me around
G D C
Or am I following you down?
Am
Cause it's a game with you
D Em C Am D
Playing with the rules
Discovering a world outside
our heartache and my broken pride
Dissolving into tears
Now running in the clear
Remnants of hostility
Rejecting our ability
To play without our shoes
To forget the games we lose
Chorus
Harmonica lead
G D Em C
G D Em C
G D Em C D
Chorus
(Repeat "Playing with the rules" 3 times)

Tennessee
by Adam H.
Play me down and down and down and down…
Down and down and down and down…
Take me down now to Tennessee
Take me down now to Tennessee
Take me down now to Tennessee
Now-ma-now-ma-now-ma-now…
You're really gonna love the town
Take me on back to heaven
Tell me all right this evening
Take me all around this river
Tell me how to ride this river
Tell me 'bout it all this sound
Take me all around this round/sound
Take me all around this round/sound
Take me all around… (0:55)
Now-ma-now-ma-now-ma-now…
Tennessee
Now-ma-now-ma-now-ma-now…

Take this bride in a golden litter
Hate mail rhyme and a cold misgiver
Help me now, now to take my villain
Take me down now, to take this river
Take me down now to Tennessee (1:31)
Take me down now to Tennessee
Take me down now to Tennessee
Take me down now to Tennessee
Now-ma-now-ma-now-ma-now…

Take me down now to Tennessee… Yeah!
Now-ma-now-ma-now-ma-now…
Now-ma-now-ma-now-ma-now…
Took 'em by three (2:07)
Couldn't by four
Take 'em but he wouldn't
take a drink no more
How am I right?
Take a bounty
Take it down heaven
Belief now driven
Take me down down to Tennessee
We can belong now to Tennessee
We can belong now to Tennessee (2:27)
Take me down
take me down
Na na na na na na…
Lay me down, lay it down (2:43)
Lay it on me
It's got this river
Now we're living so deep
We're bringing it down
Now it's singing to me
Go down river
Go down river (2:53)
Down
Down down down to Tennessee
Run down down down to Tennessee
Run down down down to Tennessee
Run down down down to Tennessee
Down down down

Undercover (Happy just to be here)
by Adam H.
D A G Bb
It's so nice to be here
All I want to be
It's so nice to be here
Exactly where I'll be
I'm happy just to be here
I'll walk across the stage
I'm happy just to be here
Sure, I can walk across the stage
Chorus:
And this is all my indecision
I'll close my eyes and learn my lesson
I hide in here and try to listen
Waiting for some pure confession
Solo
I don't want to make it
It's nice to be here
I don't want to break you
It's just nice to be here
You can be alone
It's nice to be
You can be alone
Yes, sometimes it's nice to be
Bridge:
D C
Everybody only goes
Everybody only goes
Tell me where I wanna go
A Bb
Back into the rain
Back into the rain
Chorus:
And now I'm running undercover
And now I'm running undercover
And now I'm only undercover
Now I'm only undercover
Descending glissando guitar and vocal
Happy just to be here
Happy just to be here
Happiest just to be here
Happy is just to be here
Happy is just to be here
