Streetlight Medley chords by Streetlight Manifesto

have chord progressions that are similar... and sometimes the same. Not too long
ago, I got the idea to put a medley together - Much like the infamous
Point/Keasbey Nights/Counterpoint that every SM loves so much. Except this
one isn't quite as epic, and it contains a few more songs. 5 to be exact. So, I put
one together last night containing 12341234, The Big Sleep, Supernothing,
One Foot On the Gas, One Foot In the Grave, and Somewhere In the Between.
This is a rough version, and I'm sure it could be better. These tabs are not my
own, I got them from this site, though I did make a change here and there. If
you have any questions, comments or suggestions feel free to email me - mattiewarunek@yahoo.com.


Streetlight Medley

Words and Music by Tomas Kalnoky

Arranged by Matt Warunek

--------------------

C
You, you try, you try to get by.
        Am
"You're never going to pull it off", "You shouldn't even try"
	  F
"You're a wet cigarette", "You're always second best",
            G
but they're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves.
C
 so you fight for them to realize;
   	Am
there's more to life, there's more to you, there's more than meets the eye.
F
And when you're done, the battle's been won.
    G
You sit back, you smile and this is what you hum, you hum:

C
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

F
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

C
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

F
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na


Am
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

F
I hope you think of me, yeah

C
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

F
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na


G
He wakes up sad again and he wonders when the rain will end,
G
She acts like she don’t care cause to her it’s just a game, that he plays,
F
I’m a super, I’m a nothing, I’m a no one, goin’ nowhere fast,

C
But I don’t care, but I don’t care,
                      F
I’m a super, I’m a nothing, I’m a no one, goin’ nowhere fast,
         G
But I don’t care, but I don’t care.

   C
The years go by, the time it does fly.
Am
Every single second is a moment in time that
F
passes oh, so quick and it seems like nothing,
    G
but when you're looking back, well it amounts to everything.
     C
I've got myself. I've got my friends.
     Am
I've got my little family, but that's not where it ends.
     F
This one goes out to you, it goes out to everyone.
     G
It's in the name of honesty because life has just begun.


C
Started with six or seven, moved on to eight or nine. What will you do when they come
you?
C
Nobody seemed to notice, nobody seemed to mind. What will you do when they come for you?
C
Little miss demissed can't miss like a detuned radio. I cannot believe you when you tell
what you know
G
   C
And nothing will be broken if your house is made of stone. But you will know as I do it
never be a home


G
We want it, they got it. They claim we'll die without it
G
But something tells me they are wrong

                    G


   C
So what will you do when they call your name and you're not ready to go?
C
Everyone will stare at you and tell you what you know
	    G
That you're in too deep and you can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
   Am
We might just make it after all, on our own
   C
We might just make it after all
           Am
But we had one foot on the gas and one foot in the grave
C
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
G
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made


Am
All the times he said he would she never really understood,
C
What he said, or what he meant, he won't forget what wasn't said,
G
He’ll find himself alone standing in the rain, yeah, yeah, yeah,
F
I’m a super all or nothin’, I’m a no one, going nowhere fast,
                     G
But I don’t care,
F
I’m a super all or nothin’, I’m a no one, going nowhere fast,
                      G
But I don’t care, but I don’t care.

          G
Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
    Am
And everything else was part of the plan
   G
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
            F
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end
       C
And we all just idolize the dead

            Am
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
               G
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
    F
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
    C
And nothing and no one will ever take that away


Am
Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home

G
We had a heart-to-heart about life

Em
But neither him or me could decide for ourselves

G
If we wanted to outlive that night

Am
Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls

G
Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes

Em
If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole

G
What a wonderful world this could be!


C
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

F
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

C
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

F
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na


Am
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

F
I hope you think of me, yeah

C
Na, na, na, na, na, na

G
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

F
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na


  C
So do the right thing or do nothing. What will you do when they come for you?
C
Or just do what is easier. What will you do when they come for you?
C
That's what I read what I swear they said to me. Nine times out of ten they lied to me
G
And after all they had the guts to say Son, no one will save you now
G
We want it, they got it. They claim we'll die without it
G
But something tells me they are wrong


  Am
So, how many more examples until we break?

   G
So how many sacrifices must we make?

G
Because we've all been there once before

Em
And it looks like we've returned once more

G
So is this the beginning or the end?

G
The last two soldiers on the battlefield

Am
Survivors of the war

G
They aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord

            G
"If you're listening, I'm missing him

    Em
So somehow bring him home.

G
How did it come to this?"

G
So the soldiers lift their rifles

Am
And they're aiming at the head

G
They think of their first love before they take their final breath

Em
And somewhere in the distance they hear something someone said:

G
"How did it come to this?"

Outro Chorus

Am
When as you close your eyes for the big sleep

F
I hope you think of me, yeah.


          G
Yeah, the times we had, they were not that bad
    Am
And everything else, that was part of the plan
       G
And we sang, "I don't know where we go from here"
            F
This is the Alpha (Alpha!), Omega (Omega!), beginning and the end!
       C
And we all just idolize the dead

            Am
So you were born (So you were born), and that was a good day
               G
Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die), and that is a shame
    F
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
    C
And nothing and no one will ever take that away


And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end

But we can't just get in line again.
