      Intro
      Bm D E (4x)

      Verse 
      A                   D                     E
      Falling all over myself to retrace whats left.
      A                       D                       E
      Looking back at all the pieces is getting to my head.
      A                    D                        E
      Like a thousand tiny footprints buried in the sand…
               Dbm7  D                    E  
      As if to say, “Things work out this way.”
      
      Chorus
      E         A              D       A
      Watch the water, pour it over my soul.
      D       A                     Bm         E
      When it falls, the rocks will scatter my bones.
              E             A               D                     A
      Let the waves take me out to sea, the tide will have what’s left of me.
      C                  G            D       (Short lick)
      And I will find my purpose once again.
      C             G        Bm   D  E
      I will find my purpose…once again.
      

      Bm D E (4x)

      Verse
      A                    D                            E                                    
      Walking out on to a ledge where nobody else could see.
      A                             D                               E
      Each choice is leading to the moment, and a chance to let our steps decide the way.
      A                          D                     E
      Blindly give up everything, never know or reason why.
      Bm      A                 E
      Circles fading in to distant skies…

      Em7                    A                    Em7
      I watch as time goes by   A changing of the seasons
                     A                  Em7
      Day turns into night    Confusion into reason

      Verse
         D                      G
      My arms are disconnected,   I can’t feel them from my head.
          Bm7          F#m7            Bm7                 G
      The voices never stop,  still remember what you said.

      A scream into a feather,  that no one ever hears.

      Well, he’s not really here   but he sees it all,  but he sees it all.
      

      Verse
      Light a yellow candle. White bugs climb black walls.
      Man, my brain is broken. Toes clench into a ball.

      Verse
      Curl up and calm down. The whispers start to fade.
      Release my soul and burn the paintings that you made.

      Chorus

      Gm                   Bm7  Gm                   Bm7
      Fall out of a memory.     My nerves come unwound.

      Verse
      Galaxies alive with new born coloration are set on fire,
      Somewhere else across the universe two planets will collide.
      It all gives way to what’s to come in an essential ebb and flow.
      We breathe it deep and let it go and move within this fragile moment we call life.

      That’s why I bid farewell to that world of moving colors.

      Transition same as Intro

      D                            Bm             A
      Scenes don’t change here, The picture stays the same

    • The Evil - Chords and Lyrics

      I couldn’t find any visual confirmation of these chords online so I’ll have to play close attention next time I see it live. Until then, this is what I hear.

      Emaj7 (4-7-6-4-4-4)
      Emaj7 (0-7-6-4-4-4) During “the evil” get the low E to drone
      Dbm (x-4-6-6-5-4)
      Dbsus2 (x-4-6-6-4-4)
      Open E (0-2-2-1-0-0)
      A (x-0-2-2-2-0)
      B (x-2-4-4-4-2)
      Eb (x-6-8-8-8-6)

      Intro and all Verses are alternating Emaj7 to Dbm

      A tingle, a thought in my bed
      Satisfied my nose into my head
      And memories and hearts fade
      Sabotage, it never fails
      So can we hold on to lies
      and complications gone unsolved
      Can we believe what we’re told
      Though many things behold

               Emaj7 (with low E drone)
      The evil, the evil, the evil
                                Dbm   Dbsus2 (pick up the 2nd finger)
      that’s running through my head
      Emaj7                                  Dbm   Dbsus2
      Oh here we go, It’s running through my head
                           Emaj7  
      What are we fighting for?
      

      ‘Cause I am willing to change
      Throw all my eggs in one basket
      And one by one escape life as we know it
      The stories strangers say stay the same
      So can we force songs
      Should I care if they belong
      Could I declare victory won
      Everyday, every sight perform for whose delight
      To become the greatest band in all the land

                      Emaj7 (with low E drone)
      Through all the evil, the evil, the evil
                                Dbm  Dbsus2 (pick up the 2nd finger)
      that’s running through my head
      Emaj7                                  Dbm  Dbsus2  B
      Oh here we go, It’s running through my head
      
                 A
      ‘Cause I’m standing at the bottom
              B                             Dbm
      Looking up I tilt my head back here we go
                      Eb                                A
      Through all the many things to come I’m love struck
                     B
      Don’t let it die, and if you realize
           E            B     Dbm
      Just please don’t tell no one
      A         B (build up) 
      I’ve been waiting
      
       B            E (open)      A   
      ‘Cause we are stars, We are stars
                  E              A
      And hold it bright, We are stars
                    E             A   
      ‘Cause we are stars, We are stars
                     E             A
      Illuminate the night, We are stars 
      

      Jam out over alternating E to A

    • Eternity - Chords and Lyrics

      Intro, Verses, and Yeah-yeahs are all - G F C
      The last word of each verse is a D, then A#, A

      Verse
      All the roads that we've been traveling on so far have led us all right here
      And even though we may not recognize the door man, he is soon to let us in and kindly ask...
      To remove our shoes after so many miles, he says we've reached the promise land.
      Now what to do without the clockwork to direct our symphony?

      Chorus

      D                             G        A#                      E
      Let it play straight from the heavens, bring that joyful music raining down on me.
      D                        G                A#                           E
      Here to stay, we all belong now. In this technicolor concert hall we call eternity.
      

      Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah,
      Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

      When a choice is made it results in consequence and with none to pay at hand that bill has got to go to someone...
      And I'm quite sure that someday someone else will say the things I'm saying now with different words.
      Spoke to be heard because you know it's what the world is gonna need, with where were headed next.
      One little voice, one giant picture we've all been painted in.

      Chorus

      Where this road is headed next is our best guess, it's ours to mold and make and recreate and rejuvenate our minds.
      Pressing on while looking back to watch our old creations gather in the dust we left behind.

      Chorus

      D E G D

      D                     D              E                        G
      I went and figured it out, all on my own time, and there's no secrets to the places 
                D
      that I've been.
                          D                           E                           G
      If someone else got control, I thought I'd have known by now but signs keep saying 
                               D
      this way leads to higher ground.
      
      Transition (similar to below)
      Bm Gbm A 
      Bm Gbm E A E A
      Bm Gbm A 
      Bm Gbm E A E A E A E A 
      D E G D 2x

      It’s flesh in front of black and white.

      The one you think of every night.
      G                      Am7

      Verse 2 (same as 1)
      Morning, lift you through the window.
      Locked it up and forgot the code.

      Sunday, drinking the life that we’ve brewed.
      And we will make ourselves comfortable.
      
      Pre-Chorus

      Em7             Ebmaj7                
      State line, morning drive, and we’ll make it
      

      Verse 3
      I’ll warm the engine and then we’ll go.
      Somewhere, anywhere, I don’t know.
      Sing old songs next to me at night.
      ‘I know I caught your eye.’
      So make yourself comfortable.

      Verse 4
      It’s heart in front of shine and gold,
      the ones you’re with as you grow old.
      You’ve always seemed to know the way.
      We’ll mark the ‘X’ and bury the safe,
      then we’ll make ourselves comfortable.

      Pre-chorus 2 (same as p-c 1)
      Puzzle pieces, together, apart.
      Either way it’s just the start.
      Dreaming of those chairs on a beach,
      with all the lessons time will teach.

      Chorus
      State line, moonlight, and we’ll make it.
      State line, morning drive, and we’ll make it
      State line, moonlight, and we’ll make it.
      State line, morning drive, and we’ll make it

         Truckers on the highway,       I bet they dream of home.
         Children on the playground,    I bet they feel alone.
         Thinking of everything,        maybe even death.
         Redirect my focus,             every single breath. (transition lick)
         A head full of music,          but it all sounds the same.
         Nobody knows him,              but he knows all their names.
      
      Section B
      Eb                   F
      Say something once, never say it again.
      Bb                                            F
      Say something kind, that’s when the soul strings start to bend.
      
      Section C
      Gm7            Am Bb             Dm      Eb  
      Down the steps,   down the hall, out the door.

      Watch her leave, hold my breath, while we lay on the floor
      

      Verse progression jam 2x

      Verse 2
      Ideas come out and ideas float away…
      been this way for years now, four years and some change.
      Grab a pretty dress. We’ll head north and then head west.
      It’s time to dream now. Hope for nothing but the best.
      Either brilliant or completely insane.
      Laughter flows freely from this heart, through these veins.

      Section B chords
      Your mind is running. It’s running fast.
      Nothing here was really meant to last.

      Section C chords
      Down the steps, down the hall out the door.
      Watch it leave, hold my breath,
      while we lay on the floor.

      D                            G

      A                                  D                     
      through the trees up the stairs to the sand.
      D                                 G
      Stars start to slip and squander the calm.
      A             G              D
      Blue tarp, wild eyed puddle in my palm.
