[Note: If you don't want the CAPO thing, replace (G , C) with (A# , D#)]

-----Intro-----
G        C
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
G        C
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh

-----Verse I-----
G
I don't want you anymore
C
Summer's gone, and now I'm sure
G

The box behind my bed I've saved
C
I took out with the trash today
G
Oh, the truth is: I've met someone new
C
The truth is: you probably have, too
G
The truth is: I can't stand your face
C
When I think of all the love we made

-----Chorus-----
G
Oh, we took a walk- we took a walk out by the Hudson River,
C
The human breaks, you need to please, and make my shoulders shiver
G
You asked me, "Baby girl, how long until my heart recovers?"
C
I'm sure the answer's "Never."
G
You're a top-act shelf, out-of-date, too-late, expired lover

-----Interlude-----
G        C
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
G        C
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh

-----Verse II-----
G
No, I'm not the only girl to save
C
Items past their expiration date
G
I sucked you up, 'til my stomach churned
C
My throat closed, my eyes would burn
G
Someone told me that love was suppose to hurt
C
But, now I've learned
G
And, I don't want this anymore
C
Like hand-me-downs, waitin' by my door
G
I kept you around, but I don't know what for

-----Chorus-----
G
So, I took a walk all by myself from river side to south street
C
It's 2 a.m.; I've let you in, and whenever your here, I can't sleep
G
Is there anyway to save you and me?
C
Baby, now that I've discovered, enjoy takin' all my covers, this is your last sleep over
G
You're a top-act shelf, out-of-date, too-late, expired lover
G
You're a top-act shelf, out-of-date, too-late, expired lover

-----Outro-----
G        C
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
G        C
Ohh, Ohh, Ohh, No

-----End-----

Elevator kisses summer summer time
  C      Am   C
Elevator kisses you and I
       F              C

And I know Julie doesn't drink and

Analyze each bruise and hear your story from the start

Just grab you some new medicine, that makes you feel less alone

-----Verse II-----
  E
No I am not a doctor, just an ordinary girl

But I'm all the way you chest aches, the way your head swirls
     E

Buy you a coffee? Lend you some money?

You're looking like you need a kiss or a fight

Without my love you don't know how to live.

Made a home in heart ache, and now can't pay the rent

Somebody else, somebody else, somebody else

And I know you're alone, most of the day

I know you spend night the very same way
  D
I know you're not with somebody new,
  G
I won't break his heart to fix you
    D
And I think, and I prey, about last September

As time goes by, I barely remember

-----Verse I-----
C
I walked by colorful sidewalk
  C
Children with buckets of pastel chalk
         F             G
And I thought of you, my love I thought of you

-----Verse II-----
  C
So I walked until the sun went down
C
I thought that no one else was around

Until I saw you, my love until I saw you

-----Chorus-----
  C
My black, white life turns to color
   G
But baby, I'm with another
   F                   G
When you pull out your suitcase of finger paints
   C
My cheeks burn red from your kisses
  G
My blue heart shivers and misses
     F                  G
Your brushstrokes, a masterpiece made in the rain
        C   G
Made to wash away

-----Verse III-----
       F
You build castles in the clouds,
     G
when the sky was clear and blue
    F                G
No one else sees cloud castles 'cept for me and you
      F                G
And the grayness turns to glitter, with a laugh and a wink
      F            G
All the buildings are outlined in orange, and gold and pink

My black, white life turns to color

My cheeks burn red from your kisses

My blue heart shivers and misses

Your brushstrokes, a masterpiece made in the rain

Made to wash away

8. Dad Says
 (CAPO 4)

[Note: If you don't want the CAPO thing, replace (C , Am , G , D) with (E , C#m , B , F#)]

-----Verse I-----
    C    G     Am   G
I am giving up one of my dreams today
   C     G     Am   G
I found out I can't always get my way
    C     G     Am       G
And sometimes a dream isn't worth what you pay
     C    G     Am   G
So I'm giving up one of my dreams today
 C      G     Am     G
When we are children we look to the sky
  C    G      Am     G
We want everything, I'm afraid to ask why

-----Verse II-----
  C      G    Am     G
And I saw the sparkling fish in the sea
   C       G       Am     G
I dreamed I would find one who'd swim next to me
   C      G       Am     G
And this called love and it's worth every reason
 C     G       Am       G
Love is the cool and the warmth in each season
   C      G    Am      G
But how does one love and what does one do
      C       G      Am      G
When the dream that you have doesn't want to pick you

-----Chorus-----
   C G    Am   G
But oh oh don't cry for me
    C       G      D
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
   C G      Am     G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
   C     G      D
Is just a sign I'm getting older

-----Verse III-----
 C     G    Am      G
He was a stoner and I'm like a light
   C       G       Am      G
And when he would blaze I'd sing songs by his side
  C        G      Am        G
But my dream takes two strong hearts that will fight
  C      G       Am     G
And he doesn't dream, he just sleeps at night

-----Chorus-----
   C G    Am   G
But oh oh don't cry for me
    C       G      D
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
   C G      Am     G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
   C     G      D
Is just a sign I'm getting older

-----Verse IV-----
     C       G      Am     G
Oh they say to much smoking will change your taste
    C        G      Am     G
Maybe that's why he's kissing some other girls face
  C     G     Am   G
But I never dreamed of second place
     C     G      Am    G
So I'd rather just quit than continue to race

-----Chorus-----
   C G    Am   G
But oh oh don't cry for me
    C       G      D
It's just one dream less on my shoulder
   C G      Am     G
And oh oh dad says giving up dreams
   C     G      D
Is just a sign I'm getting older
  C  G    Am     G
And oh oh I am singing on stage
     C     G       D
But it doesn't mean I know much better
  G         Am     G
Oh oh oh oh, your probably like me
   C    G     Am      G
Some days dreaming and some days a quitter

-----Verse V-----
    C    G     Am   G
I am giving up one of my dreams today
 C    G      Am      G
After I held him and begged him to stay
   C    G       Am     G
And after my dream will drown out to a whisper
 C     G      Am      G
After I've burnt all the photo booth pictures

-----Verse VI-----
   C    G     Am       G
And after I erased our names from the sky
      C   G    Am  G
Stopped wondering how and asking why
    C     G     Am    G
Oh I wish I had words to encourage inspire
     C       G      Am      G
But the truth is I'm ripped and I'm sad and I'm tired
    C    G       Am     G
I'm a loser in love and an abandoner of dreams
   C     G       Am    G
And today I have up the one for him, and me

9. Be Good
 (CAPO 2)

[Note: If you don't want the CAPO thing, replace (C , Am , G , D) with (E , C#m , B , F#)]

-----Verse I-----
 G        C
Its unclear now what we intend
 G     C
We're alone in our own world
 G         C
And you don't want to be my boyfriend
 G        C
And I don't want to be your girl

-----Chorus-----
   G        D
And that, that's a relief
        Am
We'll drink up our grief
        C
And pine for summer
      G       D
And we'll buy a beer to shotgun
         Am
And we'll lay in the lawn
        C
And we'll be good

-----Verse II-----
 G        C
Now I'm laughing at my boredom
 G      C
And my string of failed attempts
 G        C
Cause you think that its important
 G       C
And I welcome the sentiment

-----Chorus-----
      G        D
And we'll talk on the phone at night
       Am         C
Until its daylight and I feel clever
    G        D
Then I hear a slow in your speech
        Am
Yeah your half asleep
    C
Say goodnight

-----Interlude-----
 G  D Am  C
Ooh Ahh Ooh Ahh
 G  D Am  C
Ooh Ahh Ooh Ahh

-----Verse III-----
 G      C
Now I've got friendships to mend
 G         C
And I'm selfishly dispossessed
 G       C
You don't wanna be my boyfriend
 G        C
And it's probably for the best

-----Chorus-----
    G        D
Cause that, that gets messy
       Am
And you will hurt me
      C
Or I'll disappear
    G       D
So we will drink beer all day
           Am
And our guards will give way
      C
And we'll be good
       G
And we'll be good

-----End-----
