Communication Breakdown
written by The Sleepwalker
F C Dm
Even if I had a satellite
Bb F
I could never reach your brain
even if I had a marshall stack
I couldn't amplify your name
and even if I had a time machine
I could never get it right
sometimes there's just no possibility
of having someone in your life
(picking)
if I could find my UFO
you know I'd fly so far away
and if I knew what else to do
you know I wouldn't sleep all day
(different rhythm)
F C Dm
every depressing song rings so true
Bb F
because no matter what I try
F Bb
and no matter what I do
Bb F C
it will never be the same
Dm
without you
and even if I had a flamethrower
I still couldn't start a fire
and even with a couple atom bombs
your eyes would never light
F
and even if I knew your number
C
and even if I knew your name
Dm
and even if I knew how to talk to you
Bb F
it could never be the same
(2x)
F C
and the bigger they are the harder they fall
Dm Bb F
but size never matters at the end of it all
(4x)
but nothing ever matters
at the end of it all
Beautiful Girl
written by The Sleepwalker
D G A D
You're a beautiful girl and you deserve a beautiful world
D G A Bm
It's too bad there's no one out there to keep you warm and buy you pearls
You're a beautiful girl which pushes you so far from my world
it's too bad you take me for granted and I have no chance
D A D
because I've been through so many lonely times
and every chance you get to hurt me I know you'll hurt me times five
and you say you've found someone else and I'll say that's fine
then when you turn and walk away, I sit alone and cry
You may be a beautiful girl, but you don't have what it takes for this world
Everything just gets you down, just remember what comes around goes around
You're a beautiful girl and you deserve a beautiful world
It's too bad there's no one out there to keep you warm and buy you pearls
because I've been through so many lonely times
and every chance you get to hurt me I know you'll hurt me times five
and you say you've found someone else and I'll say that's fine
then when you turn and walk away, I sit alone and cry
You're a beautiful girl which pushes you so far from my world
it's too bad you take me for granted and I have no chance

G D Em C
There's a million drones on their way to work
G D C
meanwhile someone cried til no one heard
there's a million homes crumbling into dirt
""
as far as I can see
that someone was me
and maybe it's just you
that makes me feel the way I do
and as far as I can tell
it's my soul that you sell
and nothing you can say will ever make me stay
I wrote a million poems about how you're a jerk
""
I lit my heart on fire to see if it would burn

Mind Control
written by Melosa Storm
I see you sitting there
You'd think that I'd learn how to stare
Hoping that you'll notice
Just for a moment
And you'll take what I can give
Just enough for me to live
It's not like anything I do
Ever Matters
Just hope I'm strong enough to lie
As I smile when you walk by
Just hope I'm strong enough to die
Before you kill me
And I sit and wonder why
As the whole world starts to cry
It seems like everybody knows
That you don't love me
And I follow in a dream
That swallows up my mind
And I never learned to scream
So that you'd hear me
But you'll suck me 'til I'm dry
And then just grin when I walk by
It's nothing to you really
Not that it matters
Just hope I'm strong enough to lie
As I smile when you walk by
Just hope I'm strong enough to die
Before you kill me
And I sit and wonder why
As the whole world starts to cry
It seems like everybody knows
That you don't love me
But just kiss me one more time
So I know I'm still alive
Just won't open up my eyes
And I'll never see
Just hope I'm strong enough to die
Just hope I'm strong enough to lie
Just hope I'm strong enough to die
Before you kill me
But just kiss me one more time
So I know I'm still alive
Just hope I'm strong enough to die
Before I open up my eyes
I know I'm strong enough to die
'Cause I won't live this lie

sitting here in silence
G C
will never get us anywhere
C D
and just cause we're not talking
G F# Em
doesn't mean that I don't care
C D
and you ask me what's the matter
G C
and you ask me what's the deal
C D G C
it isn't everything you tell me
C D G C
it isn't everything you feel
C D GF# Em
it's just that everything you tell me
Am C G
isn't real isn't real
I know that you won't talk about it
I know that you won't deal
and just cause you can't sleep
doesn't mean that you don't feel
C D
You say don't burn your bridges
G C
but sometimes bridges just collapse
and you want me to pay attention to you
but I had a momentary lapse
where I realized what I'm doing
and I realized what I feel
G
and everything you tell me isn't real
Lonely Town
written by The Sleepwalker
A D
It's not what you've got that matters
It's not what you've lost along the way
even though your friends scattered
F (hold 1st 2 strings) C G C
when you said everything you had to say
Em C
Cause they've got none of what you need
When you are down
and now all that you can dream of
is getting out of this lonely town
It's just who you haunt that matters
after the final scene is through
You're gorgeous but won't be flattered
Instead you grow mean and cruel
Cause they've got none of what you need
When you are down
and now all that you can dream of
is getting out of this lonely town
You've lost everyone that ever mattered
Everything left just slipped away
but your smile can't be shattered
and that's why I'm standing here today
Cause they've got none of what you need
When you are down
and now all that you can dream of
is getting out of this lonely town

you're as tall as a mountain

and lonely as the peak

and your hair is so perfect

but defying gravity is not so fun

and someday every mountain must crumble into equilibrium

you're as bold as a deep sea diver

and just as short of breath

and you're as light as a tap dancer

with those synthetic breasts

and you taste like falling rain

so fresh and so clean

but no one likes a storm
A D A
even though it's what they need to survive
A E A D A
when it comes to you they'd rather have a drought and die (x3)
and you're always looking down and fucking everything up
and confusing left and right
cause you left right when things were looking up
and you call it heading forward
but you're just leaving me behind
and I'm not moving backwards but

everyone else is moving forward in this fucking line

you're as tall as a mountain

I think about when I was young scared and sad as kids can come hiding there under the table
and I wonder what I've done as I turn 21 and I still hide whenever I am able
Now I'm at 23 and trying to sleep counting sheep dragged to their slaughter
and I was cursed from the start my brain glows in the dark like some star consuming its core
and I can fly so high if I get in an airplane but the buzzing and humming is driving me insane
and I could climb any mountain if I start out at the top and I could easily survive this 10000 foot drop
F...
and I could walk on water as long as it's frozen
Am...
and I'll fight for either side as long as I get chosen by someone
C G F
By anyone
shaking cold and blue as I find out that truth is a word that was written for movies
so i'll wait for the end where evil is suspended in a bottle that's shot toward the sun
the sun that burns up the sky, giving cancer, destroying eyes, but melting away this disease
and I'm shaking from the cold or it's the terror that unfolds when I think about what's happening to me
it's like i've been having one of those days
for the last 23 years and there's no sign of change
it's like when people say god will save you from the dark
it takes a lot more than that when you're an atheist at heart
and there's no one to take fear, no one to set you free
and the thought of looking backwards is burning me
I feel like the man with the fucking yellow hat
cleaning up after monkeys that get all tbe attention
and curious or not, there's no doubt about it
people say I act like I'm from another dimension
sit here searching dreams and I sit here in the dark
wondering if I'll ever eat or if I'll just sit and starve
cause I'm too sick to consume and too old to care
and I go on breathing because the other options are too scary
and I go on breathing because the other options are too scary
and I go on breathing because the other options are too scary
and everything is scary
and everyone
and everything...
except for my time with you.
and I can fly so high if I get in an airplane
but the buzzing and humming is driving me insane
and I could climb any mountain if I start out at the top
and I could easily survive this 10000 foot drop

D# A# C# G#(DACG capoed 1st fret)
I'm guilty too of repeating every word you've said
as every phrase runs through my head
Now I know that I'm not Lloyd Dobbler or John Cusack
but keep in mind you aren't diane court or ione skye
and you may think that I'm the dumbest in the world
C G
I'm as helpless as a girl
I'm as worthless as faux pearls
D A C G
I'm as ugly as you think you are
I am sadder than before I ever met you
I feel sadder than I ever thought I could
It doesn't seem like I ever can forget you
but obsessing doesn't do me any good
and you may think that I'm the dumbest in the world
C G
I'm as helpless as a girl
I'm as worthless as faux pearls
D A C G
I'm as ugly as you think you are
I'm as lonely as the boy who cried wolf in the street
giving birth to the proof of the failure of my dreams
and you may think that I lost my youthful streak
that my future's looking bleak
that my tongue's too tied to speak anymore
and I look into your eyes
if you start out depressed
everything's a pleasant surprise
and you won't even pick up the phone
I let it ring again and again
and yes I want something from you
I'd even settle for a pen
Low Salt Area

G D Em
If you pressure me anymore will I become a diamond
If I tell you that I'm not sure, will you become violent
C D
and who do you want me to be
G E
I can't even trust the things that I see
and who do you want me to be
G
I just don't know
G D Em C
and I believe every cloud has a fool's gold lining
and I believe every dog has to give up the chase
I even believed some of what you told me
even though I knew you always lied to my face
C D
and who do you want me to be
G E
I can't even trust Anyone that I meet
and who do you want me to be
G
I just don't know
no matter what I try, you pass me by
like the snow on a radio station
no matter what I say
you forget my name after not too long
like your favorite top 40 radio song
C D
and who do you want me to be
G E
I can't even trust the things that I see
and who do you want me to be
G
I just don't know
Who do you want me to be
when you pay no attention to me
and who do you want me to be
I just don't know
you can kick me in the stomach
you can punch me in the face NC
you can treat me like an earthworm, but I don't have 10 hearts to break
you can leave me in the desert with just mountain dew to drink
you can torture me with water
you can make me watch network TV
but friends will never match what you do with your smile
and ally mcbeal can'ts equal what you say with your eyes
so I'm sleeping for the winter
and I'm hiding for the spring
and if summer and fall come round
I won't be doing anything
so if you've got some time to talk to me
if you've got some time to share
call 1-800-fuck-off
because I don't really care

but I'm not a superhero
(Bm F#) - barre
sometimes I think I'm nothing at all
I don't got any super powers
or any powers at all
cause I'm not a superhero
I will never bust in to save the day
I know I'm not a super hero
you'll never love me this way
sometimes I wish I could spin the world backwards
to go back to when you cared
I'd probably just get really motion sick
and end up vomiting everywhere
If I could breathe underwater
it wouldn't matter that I can't swim
and if I tried to join the justice league or superfriends
they'd never let me in
and I'm not a super hero
and I'm not a superstar
and I'll never be a superhero
and I'll never be a superstar
and I'll never change who I want to be
and maybe someday you'll accept things as they are
Sharp
written by The Sleepwalker
B F# G A
Wipe the blood from my nose and the tear from my eye
and I don't even know how to decide to go on
so many bad memories so many habits ingrained
and I'd be lucky to say I were going insane
but I'm sharp as that knife that cuts through my veins
digging for answers or someone who feels the same
I've been up I've been down so many millions of times
and I've come to accept you as part of my life
but it's sickening to know that I'll never survive
without you
I just can't .... go outside today
so I'm swallowing vitamin D pills like the sun has run out of flames
so I'm biting my nails and picking my scabs to pass the time away
unless you live with her you can't understand
why I can't shut up and act like a man
and I can't live up to even half your demands
cause I'm not the one who you think
I know you don't see it you think it's silly and trite
because I can't smile and pretend it's all right
and why I find day so much longer than night
I never can tell you why
i just can't .... go outside today
so I'm swallowing vitamin B pills so the nervousness will just go away
turn the page on my calendar but nothing has changed
new pictures new places but the style's still the same
and my whole body works except for my brain
if I could just wash off this scent and maybe something will still remain
You're fucked if you hope or if you give up your rights
and I can roar like a lion with an old toothless bite
but I'll never get it right
It's not like a finger it never can heal
the blood doesn't clot and it doesn't congeal to form
anything worthy of song, dance, or fight
and I never evven suggested that you spend one night
I just can't .... go outside today
so I'm swallowing vitamin C pills to keep the sickness at bey
words don't cure diseases so don't even say it
you come to breed fear like a shriner's parade
to knock me off balance til I bleed from my face
and you can never tell me why
Wipe the blood from my nose and the tear from my eye
and I don't even know how to decide to go on
CUT LYRICS:
APD
So I sit here again wondering what I can do
I can think about how the whole room seems to move
so I'll turn out the lights so I don't see your picture spin
but the darkness brings fear and it feels like I'm not living
and I wish that I knew how to make it all stop
so I just count to 5 and take a breath at each step
I do it just the way the way they said it should be done
but at 5 nothing changes It may as well be 1
and I count it again and I breathe twice as slow
but it doesn't make a difference how fast I go
cause they learned what they teach by reading some goddamn text
written by some dumb fucker who never lived with this mess
and it seems like a gift but it's just poisonous
time is cut right in half and I learn twice as fast
that some things take more time than others
shedding tears in my mind, but I forgot how to cry and it's been almost three years since I knew how
and I can walk alone outside as long as it rains
and I can walk on water like I'm jesus christ
if I just remember every inch is only in my mind
2000 years from now people will kill because of this song
fighting over meanings and where the other one went wrong
I can walk on water as long as its frozen
and I'll fight for either side as long as I get chosen
and I'll run to the end gasping for this dirty air
but it's all that's left in my world where no one cares
and I may be alone, but I could be poor or dead
or sick or in an alley with a bullet near my bed

65 Songs About You (don't say anything)
---------------------------------------
D# A# C# G#
I'm guilty too of repeating every word you've said
as every phrase runs through my head
searching for all your good inent
and giving you the benefit
Now I know that I'm not Lloyd Dobbler or John Cusack
but keep in mind you aren't diane court or ione skye
Who we are, I just don't know
but our lives aren't directed by Cameron Crowe
and who do you expect me to be
do you need someone or do you need me?
I know it's hard to parse life from fantasy
when every goddamn thing you see
is so unreal
and I don't know just how you feel
expecting me to be a scripted deal
and I look in your eyes
if you start out depressed
everything's a pleasant surprise.

Corey Flood: That'll never be me, that'll never be me.
That'll never be, never be me. NO! ... NO, NEVER, NEVER, EVER!
And don't you EVER THINK IT!

The world is full of guys. Be a man. Don't be a guy.
Superhero
if I could run really fast
I'd probably fall and break my knees, ankles, and shins
and if I could stretch
I would reach for your hand
and if I could see the future
I'd know I've already reached the end
if I could catch bullets
I wouldn't be scared at night
and if I didn't have to sleep
I'd never wake up from fright
if I could transform into anything
I'd turn into dust and get lost in the wind
bent steel sculptures will never impress you
but being a superhero isn't so easy
Superpowers can't get everything you want
no superpowers can ever get me you
Superpowers will never take away the life that you haunt
