Only the Pale Moon (02.15.11)

Only the Pale Moon

You lay there in the dark until the hour no-one knows
Hand upon your heart as you still swear you're not alone
But only the pale moon will catch the wishes you have thrown

Mistakes you made will always be your own, all your own
Chances you take are evidence you're off the throne
But only the pale moon will catch the wishes you have thrown

And I wish I could tell you there's someone else in your lonely mind
But why would you believe me if you'd leave at the first chance you could find

You lay there in the dark with the words I said to you
You never trust the first five hundred times you hear "I love you"
But only the pale moon will catch the wishes you have thrown
Yes, only the pale moon will catch the wishes you have thrown

Flight (02.13.11)

Flight

D, A, C, G… D, A, C, G… D, A, C, G, B, Bsus4, E
E thing: E (add 6/2, 6/3, 6/4), 000230, 000340

I know you say you love her (A)
Must be that Catholic thing (E thing)
What would you do if the Pope came through (A)
And gave you absolution to lose that golden ring (C, B)

I know you hope for tomorrow
Save it for today
I know you always long for the past
Let me tell you something, it don't work that way

Did she follow you here (D, A, C)
Does she know where you are (D, A, C)
Can you keep up the pace (D, A, C)
Will she swallow your heart? (B)

I know you've tried so hard
To do what is right by you
The difference is far too far to cross
And she won't meet you halfway no matter what you do

Did she follow you here
Does she know where you go
Can you live this life, live this life
If the pain's still there tomorrow?

I know it's difficult
To feel the failure everyday
But if she won't walk you know you'd better run
And keep on going until she's gone away

Did she follow you here
Does she know what to say
Can you pull out the truth
To live another day?

D, A, C, G… D, A, C, G… D, A, C, G, B, Bsus4, E

Long Gone (02.08.11)

Long Gone

You sit waiting by the phone
You can't stand to be alone
And when the call, it never comes
Don't you wonder why you're not the one

I got a secret I need to share
Ever wonder how why this went nowhere
One minute I'm there, next I'm gone
It don't matter much baby, 'cause my love… is on the run

I could feel it coming, coming down
Couldn't stand the heat so I got out of town
And if I ever, if I ever come this way again
Honey don't you wait up for me 'cause this love is at an end

Don't you want to be
Where you ought to be
Babe, that's not with me
Don't you know, don't you know

Don't you want to feel
Something that is real
Get off of this wheel
That goes round, always goes around

Now the wheel's coming loose
When you arrive at the truth
I could've told you long ago
But you never listen, oh no

The sun's gonna rise again
Remember I told you back then
Some things don't last longer
Than they ought to

Don't you want to be
Exactly where you ought to be
Just say goodbye to me
'Cause I'm gone, long gone

And if there's something more
You feel like we've ignored
Just sweep it off the floor
'Cause I'm gone, long gone

Don't you ever look back
At how far we've gone off the track
Love don't matter when you're don't love back
'Cause I'm gone, long gone

Time to break your heart again
Then set it right again


Just keep moving on and on
'Cause I'm gone, long gone
