And if [F/E]the
snow
Bur[F/E]ies
my
My
neighbor
hood
And if my parents [F/E]are
crying
Then I’ll [F/E]dig a
tunnel
From
my win
dow to
yours
Yeah
a tun
nel
From
my win
dow to
yours
You climb [F/E]out the
chimney
And meet me [F/E]in the
middle
The
middle
of the
town
And since there’s no one [F/E]else ar
ound
We let [F/E]our hair grow
long
And for
get all we
used to
know
Then our
skin gets
thicker
From
living out
in the
snow
Chorus:
You change all the lead
Sleepin’ in my head
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden
hymn
Riff
Then we tried to [F/E]name our
babies
But we for[F/E]got all the
names that
The
names we
used to
know
But sometimes, we re[F/E]member our
bedrooms
And our [F/E]parent’s
bedrooms
And the
bedrooms
of our
friends
Then we
think of our
parents,
Well
what ever
happened to them
Chorus:
You change all the lead
Sleepin’ in my head to
gold
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden
hymn
The song I’ve been trying to sing
Purify the colors, purify my mind
Purify the colors
Purify my
mind
And spread the ashes of the colors, o
ver this heart of
mine
ooooooooooh, ooooooooooh |

4. Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
Intro: Dm F x2
I woke up with the power out, not really somethin’ to shout about
Ice has covered up my parent’s hands, don’t have any dreams don’t have any plans
I went out into the night, I went out to find some light
Kids are swingin’ from the power lines, nobody’s home so nobody minds
I woke up on the darkest night neighbors all were shouting that they found the light
We found the light
Shadows jumpin’ all over my walls, some of them big, some of them small
I went out into the night I went out to pick a fight with
anyone
Light a candle for the kids, Jesus Christ don’t keep it hid
Ice has covered up my parents hands, don’t have any dreams don’t have any plans
Growin’ up in some strange storm, nobody’s cold, nobody’s warm
I went out into the night, I went out to find some light
Kids are dyin’ out in the snow, look at them go,look at them go
Dm F x4
And the
power’s
out, in the
heart of
man
Take it
from your
heart, put it
in your
hand
N.C
What’s the plan, what’s the plan
Is it a dream, is it a lie, I think I’ll let you decide
Just l
ight a candle for the kids, Jesus Christ don’t keep it hid
Cause nothing’s
hid, from us
kids
You ain’t foolin’
nobody, with the lights out
Dm F x4
And the
power’s
out, in the
heart of
man
Take it
from your
heart, put it
in your
hand
And there’s
something
wrong in the
heart of
man
Take it
from your
heart and put it
in your
hand
Hand ha ha
hand,
where’d you go
Gm F Bb A7 x2
5. Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)
G/B: x20033
A7sus4: x02040
I am [G/B]waitin’, ’til I don?t know
when
Cause I?m
sure, it’s gonna happen
then
Time keeps [G/B]creepin’, through the neighbor
hood
Killing
old folks, wakin’ up babies just like we knew it
would
All the [G/B]neighbors, are startin’ up a
fire
Burning all the
old folks, the witches and the
liars
My eyes are [G/B]covered by the hands of my unborn
kids
But my heart keeps
watchin’, through the skin of my
eyelids
They say a
watched pot, won?t ever
boil
Well I closed
my eyes and nothin?
changed[G/F#]
Just some
water, getting
hotter, in the
flames
It’s not a [G/B]lover I want no
more
And it?s not
heaven, I?m pining
for
But there’s some s[G/B]pirit I used to
know
That’s been
drowned out, by the
radio
They say a watched pot won’t ever
boil
You can’t raise a
baby on motor
oil[G/F#]
Just like a
seed down in the
soil, you gotta give it
time
6. Crown Of Love
Capo 3
Gsus4: 330033
E7/G#: 420100
They say it
fades if you
let it
love
was made to fo[E7/G#]rget it
I carved your
name across my
eyelids
You pray for
rain I pray for [E7/G#]blindness
If you still
want me, please for
give me
The crown of
love has fallen
from me
If you still
want me, please for
give me
Because the
spark is not
within me
I snuffed it
out before my
mom walked in my
bedroom
The only
thing that you keep
changin’
Is your
name, my love keeps [E7/G#]growin’
Still the
same, just like a
cancer
And you won?t
give me a straight [E7/G#]answer
If you still
want me, please for
give me
The crown of
love has fallen
from me[E7/G#]
If you still
want me please forg
ive me
Because your
hands are not up
on me
I shrugged them
off before my
mom walked in my
bedroom
The pains of
love, and they keep
growin’
In my
heart there?s flowers g[E7/G#]rowin’
On the
grave of our
old love
Since you
gave me a straight a[E7/G#]nswer
If you still
want me, please for
give me
The crown of
love is not u
pon me[E7/G#]
If you still
want me, please for
give me
Cause this
crown is not wi[C/G#]thin me
It?s not wi[C/G]thin me, it?s not w[C/F]ithin me
You gotta be the [C/G]one, you gotta be the way
Your name is the [C/F]only word that I can say
[C/G]
You gotta be the one, you gotta be the way
Your name is the only [C/F]word, the only word that I can [C/G]say[C/G#]
The only word that I can [C/G]say[C/G#]
[C/G] [C/G#]
7. Wake Up
Intro: C
Oh oh, oh oh oh [C/B]oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh
oh
Something filled up[C/B]
My heart with nothin’
Someone told me not to
cry
But now that I’m older[C/B]
My heart’s colder
And I can see that it’s a
lie
[C/B]
Children, wake up[C/B]
Hold your mistake up
Before they turn the summer into
dust
If the children don’t grow up[C/B]
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
We’re just a million little gods causing rain storms
Turning every good thing to
rust
I guess we’ll just have to ad
just[C/B]
With my lightning bolts a
glowin’
I can see where I am
going to be when
The reaper he reaches and touches my
hand
C C/B Am F C x2
With my lightning bolts[C/B] a
glowin’
I can see where
I am going
With my lightning bolts[C/B] a
glowin’
I can see where
I am going
Better look out below

9. Rebellion (Lies)
Capo 1
Intro: A D A F#m x4
Sleeping is giving in
No

Sleeping is giving in
So

People say that you’ll die
Faster than without water

Every time you close your eyes,

Underneath the covers
People try and hide the light
Underneath the covers
Come on hide your lovers,

Come on hide your lovers,
underneath the covers
Hidin’ from your brothers,
underneath the covers
Come on hide your lovers,
underneath the covers
A D A F#m x2
People say that you’ll die
Faster than without water
But we know it’s just a lie
Scare your son, scare your daughter
Scare your son, scare your daughter
Scare your son, scare your daughter
Now

lies, lies
Now
here’s the moon, it’s alright,

Every time you close your eyes,

10. In The Backseat
I like the peace,
in the backseat
I don?t have to drive,
I don?t have to speak
I can watch the country side,
and I can fall asleep
My family tree’s,
loosing all it?s leaves
Crashing towards the driver’s seat,
the lightning bolt made enough heat
To
melt the street beneath your feet
Chorus:
Alice
died
In the
night
I?ve been
learning to
drive
My whole
life
I?ve been
learning
I like the peace,
in the backseat
I don?t have to drive,
I don?t have to speak
I can watch the country side
Chorus:
Alice
died
In the
night
I?ve been
learning to
drive
My whole
life
I?ve been
learning
Oh
oooooo
ooooh
My Whole
life
