Sacred Heart



F#                                                  C#
Now I’m out walking on Saturday morning
                F#                      
without a direction, I’m a dime a dozen,
                   C#       
a worthless tourist – a walking target
                    D#m                     Bbm
with his eyes stuck on glue and paper
                       D#m
no roof to crawl under
                                  Bbm
but with a heart full of rain
a heart full of rain

                  F#
Full as the clouds
                                                             C#
my throwaway map should throw me away
and where does it take me
                             F#
streets long since flooded
raindrops and heartbeats
                                  C#
though Noah doesn’t want me
you won’t let me drown
                        D#m
I don’t need to see you
                      Bbm
I just need to feel you
when we make love
                     D#m
feel you in the dark
                        Bbm
feel you in the future
when we make love
          F#
Up in heaven do we make ‘em burn up
                             C#
or do they ignore us bigger fish to fry
                           F#
waiting with the others at the Sacré-Cœur
                        C#
many different colors from all over the world
                        D#m
here in the City of Love
                           Bbm
no one wants me here
             D#m
but I remember
                                        Bbm
the sweet things we did together
when we made love  F# C# F# C#

F#               
Saturday morning waiting with the others
                  C#
listening to Messiaen waiting in the dark
          F#
at the Sacré-Cœur the future doesn’t matter
                               C#
nothing lasts but the dark
where we feel love
                                 D#m
track me down and I’ll give you
                            Bbm   
my pomegranate heart my throwaway heart
                             D#m               
track me down and stop me
                                     Bbm
I’m ripe enough for the terror
                                                         F#
that lies at the center of my heart’s desire

                  C#                     
I’m always alone I’m always alone
                  F#                                    
I’m always alone I’m always alone
         C#                                      F#          
and I don’t want to be always alone

Dead Part Of You

 as per konk sessions

 G                                                      Am
The price of your soul is worth less than the cab fare
G                                                          Em
That gets you home before the living end
G                                                         Am
The dead part of you leaves me with a blessing
G                
From a destruction of your beauty
Em
Your self-hatred, your self-pity



 D                                  Em
There’s so little of you left
F#m                              C
There’s so little of you left

G                                               Am
The dead part of you takes me out
G                                                    Em
And says the beast in me is fading fast
G                                                            Am
And leaves me with a great big goodbye hug
G                                                             Em
It’s busy clinging to the dead part of the past


D                          Em
You only love one thing
F#m                                 G                      
And there’s so little of it left
D                    Em
He has taken everything
F#m                                  
And there’s so little of you left

G                                       Am
You’re just a baby in the back seat
G                                                         Em
That a door slam sends crying into the world
G                                                    Am
And a cab driver’s in a hurry that matters more than
G                                                                      Em
More than anything we can hope for from the world

D                          Em
You only love one thing
F#m                                 G                      
And there’s so little of it left
D                    Em
He has taken everything
F#m                                  
And there’s so little of you left

Why Im Bullshit

as per konk sessions version

 Gm
Yeah you’re looking good
All the ropes that held you down unravel
Dm
Like Mission District pigeons
Gm
And now you’re God’s servant, the one
                            Dm
With a holy knife on the holy throat
Gm
I love that leather head band
                                Dm
I love the feathers, man, you’re so handsome
                      Gm
I bet you can translate all the sidewalk cracks
                          Dm
You can hear the wailing of the ghosts

Eb                    Dm
All I know is I betrayed you
Eb                                  Dm
By not dragging hell to find you

Gm
And boom your eyes are open
                                     Dm
You’re no one’s dog – you can’t be pet
            Gm
You’re packing weapons from the future
         Dm
And pity isn’t one of them
Gm
You’re flashing secret pirate maps
    Dm
Abracadabra is in the air
            Gm
You’re the rainbow made of skulls
                     Dm
Made by fire, held by wire

Eb                  Dm
All I know is I betrayed you
Eb                                  Dm
By not dragging hell to find you

Cm                                      Gm
But beautiful you’re always there
Cm                                      Gm
Beautiful, your light burning there

Gm                                           
I know I’m bullshit because I like sleep
Dm
and I like social drinking
Gm
and I don’t like going past the point
Dm
of no return
Eb                    Dm
All I know is I betrayed you
Eb                      Dm
By not dragging hell to find you
Cm                            Gm
But beautiful you’re always there
Cm                            Gm
But beautiful you’re always there

I Love You But You're dead


Cm                      Fm            Cm                   Gm
Let’s go toast the twilight at the old horror house
Cm                                        Fm       Cm          Gm
It’s a graveyard, the music’s loud, the future’s bleak
Cm   
And we’ll say hi to Lead Pipe
Fm                       Cm          Gm
Books the bands, says he’s free
Cm                Fm              Cm        Gm
Squeals like a pig when forced to speak
Cm                             Fm                    Cm    Gm
The speaker stack is covered in thick pile of dust
Cm
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Fm                          Cm    Gm
Give me something I can use
Cm                                Fm                       Cm                   Gm
I wanna get messed up, and give up, and end up somewhere else
Cm                   Fm        Cm   Gm
Sometimes you don’t wanna choose
Cm                  Fm                Cm            Gm
It’s a plywood stage and the carpets are rotten
Cm                 Fm                 Cm             Gm
The band is so loud, they’re lighter than air
Cm                              Fm          Cm                  Gm
The singer’s heart and soul had long since been bled
Cm               Fm       Cm        Gm
And like the ocean, she didn’t care

Bb
The music, it was blasting
And I couldn’t hear what she said
Oh, but when she signed my poster



                  
She wrote,
Ab
I love you
  Gm
She wrote, I love you
   Fm
She wrote, I love you
Gm
but you’re dead

She wrote,
Ab
I love you
  Gm
She wrote, I love you
   Fm
She wrote, I love you
Gm
but you’re dead


Cm  Fm  Cm    Gm
The guitar was pure evil, like the engines on a jet
The singer is beautiful and oh so bored
When she started crawling around on the ground well, honey,
You bet I’ve been down on that beer-soaked floor
Lead Pipe fell in love and said, “Would you look at that slut?”
Beauty brought what was left of him to the edge of despair
He said, “For a little I bet, she would do a whole lot
’cause you’ll do anything when you’re not really there”


Cm  Fm  Cm    Gm
Now tonight, I wanna disappear
So wish me godspeed
For a membership to the human race I’d give up all claim
And I’ll control my arms and my legs and my hands, and my hair and my face
Like I’m holding a gun in a video game

If I Had A Hammer


Verse 1
D                            A
The love cry of the traveling man goes
G                           G/F#     Em
No one knows      who I     am

D                                     A
But I’m as priceless as a brass ring
          G                  G/F#              Em
That’s losing the heat from your hand

Verse 2

                              A 

    A quiet man sits quietly learning his lesson
    The slow smooth wheel of disintegration
 

Same as Verse 1
You don’t want them to talk to you
No you don’t want to take part
You say, “Just get me back to the leper colony
‘Cause that’s where you left my heart.”

Same as Verse 2
I feel time pass by like a joy no medicine can preserve
Somewhere along the line I lost my nerve

Same as Verse 1 
Maybe I’m almost there


G                                      A
Give me the keys to your theme park
C#m

Bury me under your layer of snow
G                              A
And watch me ride all the rides
C#m       
Around and around I go

Same as Verse 1
I don’t know if I’ve reached the bottom yet
And I don’t know if the ice has finally begun to set
I feel time pass like a joy I tried so hard to relearn
But somewhere along the line
I passed the point of no return
Maybe I’m almost there
The love cry of the traveling man goes
No one knows who I am
But I’m as priceless as a brass ring
That’s losing the heat from your hand

Patriots Heart




Am                                                                    Em
If you wanna see something patriotic, there’s a stripper
Am                                                                                Em
He don’t look that good, but he’s got an all-American smile
Am                                                              Em
that fills his underwear with all the lonely dollars
G                                                       F
from all the lonely men who no one suffers
 
Repeat the above

who wait around this bar and spend all their lonely hours
they’re already gone – no one’s running for cover
the farther you run away, the more you have to hide in the dark
white as the worm that crawls in the patriot’s heart
It is so red, white and blue the way he works the bar
selling his embraces like Mr. President or a fallen star
he don’t care babe if you’re worldly or wise
he’s just looking for men with sins in their eyes
and he always says the same thing, he says,
“So, how you doin’, baby? I’m your rod and your staff
and for a tip, you can touch me.
And after a few tequilas, I become something holy.
And this crappy little bar with its sweating mirrors
and its mildewed ceiling are more full of love,
yeah, then even natural selection. And dollar for dollar, babe,
it’s a better bargain. The more you pay,
the more I can break you all apart.”
And dollars pour like ashes from the patriot’s heart.
Now he knows that your good time will kill him,
but the thought of getting old, no it does not thrill him
He says, “Give me all your money and don’t tell me what you’re thinking.
I’m the past you wasted, I’m the future you’re obliterating.”
Oh, come on grandpa! Remind me what we’re celebrating –
that your heart finally dried up or that it finally stopped working?
And how you make a dead man cum?
You learned the undertaker’s art and make ‘em shine
like the alcohol that preserves the patriot’s heart.
We all want a patriot’s heart
Give me your patriot’s heart
You can see him fade with the dawn in a pile of Washingtons
His head is in a spin, he’s happy to pass out again
He would rather fade into the static than hear the violins
that whine like old lovers who whine that they loved him
He would rather laugh alone in the dark with the soft hands of heaven
because they leave him alone with his entertainment system
He does it for the money but he gives more than he’s given
He does it for the money but he gives more than he’s given
and it’s only when he’s naked that he feels his heart
in the whorehouse desert of the patriot’s heart.
We all want a patriot’s heart
We all want a patriot’s heart

And me, I’m lost at sea

C#      Cm             Bb
Going through the motions

Bb                                        F7
Gave all my passion to the ocean
Bb                                        F7
She holds it for me in reserve
Bb                                        F7
My world is gone into remission
Bb                                        F7
Your love’s a tragedy that I don’t deserve

Ab                                 Bb
She said, “You’re only growing now.”
Ab                                                Bb
She said, “Soon as we’ve begun, then she can have you.
Cm                            D                Cm D Cm D
But until then, you’re mine.”

Gm                        
I watch her hold to her course
D
As an act of devotion
Gm
And me, I’m riding high
C#       Cm
Going through…
Gm    
Seems like every flash in her eye’s
D
An act of devotion
Gm
And me I’m lost in her hands
C#       Cm             Bb
Going through the motions
Bb                                       F7
Shore far away off the port side
Bb                                       F7
Shore far away off the bow
Bb                                       F7
Shore far away off the starboard side
Bb                                       F7
Sure far away from now


Can You Help Me



A                                           D
I tried to run away but I was frozen in place
 A                                                            D
My body was made of sawdust and my heart just split
A                                                       D
My old friend rigor mortis started to breathe in my face
A                                                    D
 The air started to drain out of my spirit

         D      F#m    Bm
Help me,

       D        F#m   Bm
can you     help    me?

A                                              D
A century of my tears wouldn’t even fill a thimble
A                                                      D
The war of the class clown is never won
A                                          
 But nothing makes me laugh anymore
D
And nothing makes me cry
A                                                  D
And nothing makes me feel like I belong

         D      F#m    Bm
Help me,

       D        F#m   Bm
can you     help    me?
  

A                                                             D
I can’t believe all the stupid things I’m saying now
A
Either I’ve shaken the world off my back
D
or I’ve gone senile
A                                     D
I thought your love was just a great big lie
A                                          D
Now loving you is the only thing that’s gonna get me by

         D      F#m    Bm
Help me,

       D        F#m   Bm
can you     help    me?


D                F#m             Bm
All I have to offer you is archeology and Christmas
D                                    F#m                                 Bm
And we’ll turn our backs on what the world has in store
D                            F#m        Bm
And twist the light so that it shines down on us
D                                   F#m                          Bm
And wait together for the touch of something more

         D      F#m    Bm
Help me,

       D        F#m   Bm
can you     help    me?

Sleeping Pills




 Em                              D                           Bm
The world hides like a smile behind your hand
 Em                              D                           Bm
I became hard and cold, your smile became quicksand
Am                       G            Em                              D
I don’t know what city I’m dialing your number from
Am                       G                 Em                         D
I don’t know if you’ll be there or if I’ll ever get home

C(running to G) 
C               C/B      Am*   G*                  D                            
I just took my                two sleeping pills
C                      C/B     Am*   G*                      D            Em
Now I’m like a bridegroom standing at the altar


Em                      D                  Bm
I’m not innocent but I’m bled dry
Em                              D                  Bm       
And I’m stuck wide awake with no dreams in my eyes
Am
Do your worst
    G                  Em                                      D
I’m sure that it couldn’t even scratch the crust
Am           G            Em               D
Of a case study of a life without trust

C(running to G)                        I just took my two sleeping pills
 Now I’m like a bridegroom standing at the altar

 Waiting to embrace my new life
with all the love in my heart
Waiting like a bridegroom standing at the altar

Am                              G                       Em  D
And everyday I meet more people that I’ll  forget
Am                              G                 
And everyday I become more like someone
Em                    D
that you should forget
C(running to G) 
I just took my two sleeping pills
Now I’m like a bridegroom standing at the altar
Waiting for you to slip your ring around my finger


The C running to G thing( as I call it... dunno what you call it)
