Tom: Gsus
intro/refrain:
Gsus2/F Gsus2/E
So open up your morn-ing light and
Gsus2/D Gsus2/C
say a little prayer for I. You know that
Gsus2/F Gsus2/E
if we are to stay alive, then
Gsus2/D Gsus2/C
see the peace in every eye.
G(add2)
Du du du, etc.
C6/9
Du du du, etc.
verse:
G(add2)
She had two babies,
C6(add2)/G
one was six months, one was three
C6/9
in the war of forty four.
G(add2)
Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging when she
Em7 D Cmaj9
thought it was God calling her. Oh, would
Em D6 C(add9)
her son grow to know his father?
chorus:
G(add2) D(add4)/F#
I don't want to wait for our
Em11 Dsus
lives to be over I
C6 G(add9)/B
want to know right now, what will it
Dsus/A Dsus
be?
(repeat)
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Will it be yes, or will it be sorry?
G(add2)
Du du du du du
C6/9
Du du du du du
verse two:
G(add2 )C6(add2)/G
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
C6/9
wearing shrapnel in his skin.
G(add2)
And the war he saw linves inside him still.
Em7 D Cmaj9
It's so hard to be gentle and warm.
Em D6 C(add9)
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
chorus
bridge:
G7(add4)
Oh, so you look at me from across the room. You're
Am9b13
wearing your anguish again. Believe
Bb(add2)
me, I know the feeling; it
Fsus C(add9)
sucks you into the jaws of anger.
G7(add4)
Oh, so breath a little more deeply, my love. All we
Am9b13
have is this very moment
Bb(add2)
and I don't want to do what his father and his father and
Fsus Gsus2
his fater did. I want to be here now.

Me
Tom :Esus
intro: Esus2 Asus2
Esus2
i am not the person who is singing
Asus2
i am the silent one inside
Esus2
i am not the one who laughs at people's jokes
Asus2
i just pacify their egos
Esus2
i am not my house or my car or my songs
Asus2
they are only just stops along my way
Esus2
i am like the winter. i'm a dark cold female with a
Asus2
golden ring of wisdom in my cave
CHORUS:
Esus2
and it's me who is my enemy
Asus2
me who beats me up
Esus2
me who makes the monsters
Asus2
me who strips my confidence
interlude: Esus2 Asus2
Esus2
i am carrying my voice
Asus2
i am carrying my heart
Esus2
i am carrying my rhythmn
Asus2
i am carrying my prayers
Esus2
but you can't kill my spirit
Asus2
it's soaring and it's strong
like a mountain
Esus2
i go on and on
but when my wings are folded
Asus2
the brightly colored moth
Esus2
blends into the dirt into the ground
chorus
Esus2
and it's me who's too weak, and it's me who's too shy
Asus2
to ask for the thing i love
Esus2
and it's me who's too weak, and it's me who's too shy
Asus2
to ask for the thing i love
Esus2
but i love, but i love,
Asus2
but i love, but i love,
Esus2
i am walking on the bridge. i am over the water
Asus2
and i'm scared as hell
but i know there's something better
Esus2
yes i know there's something
Asus2
yes i know, i know, yes i know
but it's me
and it's me
but it's me (4 times)

Throwing Stones
Tom :Dm
Dm A7
So call me a bitch in heat and I'll call you a liar,
Bbsus2 C5
And we'll throw stones until we're dead.
Dm
There you go again, you cut me off from talking
You bask in the glory, the center of the circle.
All our friends think you are a comedian --
so kind and generous, but I am suffering
Bbsus2 Csus Bbsus2 Csus2
Away from here, I want to be away from here,
Bbsus2 Gm9
Away from every little thing.
F
Every little thing.
Gm9 Am
I used to love your every little thing.
Dm A7
So call me a bitch in heat and I'll call you a liar,
Bbsus2 C5
And we'll throw stones until we're dead.
Dm
You're the puppeteer and I'm the puppet,
You manipulate me with guilt-ridden Catholic shit.
Everytime I try to talk it through you turn it around
And make us out to be David and Goliath.
Bbsus2 Csus Bbsus2 Csus2
Away from here, I want to be away from here,
Bbsus2 Gm9
Away from every little thing.
F
Every little thing.
Gm9 Am
I used to love your every little thing.
F Gm9 F
Your arms beneath me, your light inside me
Gm9 F
I used to love your every little, every little thing.
Gm9 F
Your eyes blue stars, your hand in my purse,
Gm9 Am
Now I hate your every little thing.
Dm C9 Am Dm
Oh mama I didn't know life was this hard.
Dm C9 Am Dm
Oh mama my innocence has been tarred
Bbsus2 F5/C
My inner vision dulled and darkened
Bbsus2 F
I gave myself away to you,
Bbsus2 F5/C Bbsus2 F5/C
I felt my sorrow humble me and throw my crown upon the ground
Bbsus2
It was you I hoped for and
F5/C
us I prayed for and
Bbsus2 F5/C
me that I believed was wrong
Bbsus2 F5/C Bbsus2
But now my anger is my best friend and careful,
F5/C Dsus2
I may bite your head off.
A7 Bbsus2 Csus
Dm11 A7
So call me a bitch in heat and I'll call you a liar,
Bbsus2 Csus
And we'll throw stones until we're dead.
Dm11 A7
So call me a bitch in heat and I'll call you motherfucker
Bbsus2 Csus
And we'll throw stones until we're dead.
