OUTTA REACH
vs: Gmj9, Dsus2, A, (E)
ch: G, D, Bm, E
i can almost see you now as you’re leaning on the bow
wind is in your hair and you’re living without a care
watching the water part wondering where to start
over the neighbours fence making it all make sense
laughing at all the straights dreaming about V8’s
counting down the days till the summer holidays
tonight we’re on the prowl this town will make you howl
got a borrowed set of wheels and somebody to make the deals
then we’re off into the night through swirling coloured light
sleeping on the beach safely outta reach
it’s impossible to know where the ride will go
those that try to guess never know how to dress
they say the maker makes in a city that’s full of fakes
sycophants and clones but you always held your own - Track Name: Fresh Cut Rose

Fresh Cut Rose
vs: Dsus2, A, E
ch: Dmj7, E, Dmj7, E
br: F#m, D, E, C#m
my baby’s eyes are closed
she’s fast asleep and i am not supposed to know
the big machine that keeps us hanging on in hope
is doing all the breathing for the one i love
the one who makes it all make sense up above
below and all around me now as i kiss her lips
i say i’m sorry and goodbye for now
my babies eyes are closed
she’s dancing down the street and she’s spinning
like a fresh cut rose down a flooded creek
and wherever the river goes
i’m running along the bank and i say
hey baby don’t let go but she’s almost out of sight
and god only knows if i could put it right
i’d beg her to save a place for me
out there beyond the sea and goodbye for now
through these polished white wall rooms
a tape deck echoes favourite tunes
a crowd has gathered in the hall
waiting for the curtain call
you see the best in everyone
and all the crazy things we’ve done
are set aside and left alone
tonight we’re taking you back home - Track Name: Drink Like Police

Drink Like Police
vs: C, E, Am, F, C, G, Am, F
pr: G, F, G, F...
ch: C, G, Fm, D7
hope comes in waves
like the tide there will be days
when you’d swear the water was gone
vanished for good from here where we stood
on this barren and lifeless horizon of mud
i won’t take it out on the ones that i love
cause hey girl it’s a crazy world
these are troubled times
mixed up money rhymes
hey love we will rise above
we will make it through
if we keep it true
when, the cold winds arrive
our overweight love will survive
so lets sleep all day and drink like police
don’t cut your hair or go anywhere
and slowly but surely the days will grow longer
the drums of distraction will pound a bit stronger
with romantic notions of gauche self improvement
backsliding wide eyed revivalist movement
and slowly but surely the nights will grow longer
if you’re buying this round i’ll have something stronger
i heard on the news we we’re all going under
crisis what crisis i don’t hear no thunder - Track Name: Drive By

drive by
vs: Fmj7, G, Em7, Am7, (D7)
ch: Fmj7, C, G, Am, (E7)
she came out of the suburbs swinging
with a wound up look in her eye
i was warned better keep on walking
was only ever gonna be a drive by
but i did what many before me
have done & continue to do
i dined in when i should’ve had takeout
was only ever gonna be a drive through
yeah we can
fool ourselves fool our friends
fool with the screenplay beginning to end
fool with life fool with the charts
fool with each other
but we can’t fool our hearts
there’s no learning some lessons
no meaning to justify
i stood up in the spotlight knowing
it was only ever gonna be a drive by - Track Name: Harlequin

Harlequin
vs: C, Am7, Dm7, G
ch: Fmj7, G, C, Am7
br: Dm7, G, Dm7, G
darling i‘ve been away for so long i’ve been
lost in my own mind and wasting so much time
i can’t believe you waited for me
you could’ve split and gone home early
i’d have understood your leaving
but somehow you keep on believing
the love we possess
will drag us through all of this mess
darling your skin is softer than anything
i could imagine you spoil this harlequin
who can’t believe you waited for him
you could’ve left your options open
i’d have understood your leaving
but somehow you keep on believing
the love we possess
will rise above all the rest
of our worries and paranoid follies
and drunk melancholy self doubt - Track Name: Into The Evening
-
Into The Evening
vs: E…. Asus2, F#m, B7
ch: C#m, F#, Asus2, E
you and i keep on colliding
small town impossible hiding
main street or up at the bar
and every time I touch my guitar
i wonder if i’ve done the right thing
letting you go into the evening
drunk party small talk spoken
concrete promises, properly broken
waking up in a well worn bed
guilty heart and hung over head
wondering if i’ve done the right thing
following you home in the early morning
wondering if i’ve done the right thing
ignoring all internal warning
but when the bright lights of day
peel away your shimmering star
and leave you naked before
that hole in the floor
you’ll know who you are
no lack of decent excuses
broken homes and substance abusers
long days got time on your hands
get to thinking only she understands
wondering if you’ve done the right thing
letting her go into the evening
wondering if you’ve done the right thing
or lost her under layers of reasoning - Track Name: Dust & Doubt

Dust & Doubt
vs: Ab, C#, Ebm, F#
ch: B, A, E, (F#)
sometimes I’m walking straight lines
and every word rhymes with the next
some days it’s going sideways
thru a thick haze in my head
(that’s just life)
there’ll be moments when
the oxygen runs low
it’s the dust & doubt
we shake it out & let go
uptown they working on a new sound
flipping the beat around and back on itself
when the wind blows I hear the hey ho’s
locking the windows I talk to myself
there’s a hidden cost
we’ve all been lost & found
it’s a half cut beat
that keeps our feet on the ground
one day I’ll figure out my own way
to say what I cannot say to you now
it’s the ties that bind
remind us that we don’t know
(all that much about life)
cause we can’t slow down
around around we go - Track Name: Fully Rinsed

Fully Rinsed
vs: B, F#, Am, E (F#)
ch: E, F#6, Abm7, F#6
br: C#m7, F#6, C#m7, F#7
she’s leaving tomorrow for a city of lights
party at my place gotta read her her rights
had to happen had to throw it all in the pot
walking away lets you look back and see what you got
but as she’s leaving
i can see she’s not convinced
off the boat she'll get fully rinsed
sleep all day and she’ll dance the night away
i can see she’s looking for
a life that holds a little more
mystery beyond the lemon tree
out in the dessert we all look the same
howling headlines but no one to blame
through the static you see the patterns emerge
throw an anchor and recover the urge
that’s been missing
there will be days when it feels
like everyone else’s making deals
while you’re dancing naked in heels for fat men - Track Name: These Are The Moments

These Are The Moments
vs: D6, A6, Bm7, G6
ch: A, G, A, G,
Bm7, G6, E, G6, E, G6/
there’s only one way to know
you’ll just have to let her go
into the ebb & flow
of everyday life’s carnival show
maybe she’ll turn around
say it without a sound
maybe she’ll fade in the crowd
driving home you turn it up loud
these are the moments
that give us our shape
offering up our hearts
for life to break
when you’re stumble and fall
with the weight of it all
and the buildings so tall
they block out the sun
from a long distance call
you’ve been on the run
for so long now
now that the dice is thrown
the seedlings of doubt are sown
a southerly breeze is blowin
and the ducks on your wall
have long since flown - Track Name: Change Of Season
-
Change Of Season
vs: G, D, Em, C
ch: D, C, D, C, Am, Em, D
sl: C/Cm, G...
must be just about
time for us to end
and me to try & hook up
with my old girlfriends once again
joke about commitment
and let the laughter ring
oh it must be spring
i feel it surging through me
a deep desire for change
usually lasts about a month
and leaves me feeling strange
i’ve tried to cage and tame it
but my eyes begin to sting
oh it must be spring
cos I got a high mind
to drink/smoke myself blind
trying to find a little shelter
from your world of reason
let it go and blame it all upon a
change of season
you dragged me to the pictures
and drove me to the beach
lead me to some places
that were normally outta reach
now that i’m feeling better
i’m climbing from the ring
oh it must be spring - Track Name: Down To The Sea
-
Down To The Sea
vs: A, (D), F#m
ch: G, D, A, G, G, D
br: Bm9, A, Gmj7, (D…)
come every autumn i find myself down
down at the harbour stumbling around
dreaming bout stealing some boat & drifting away
from all my commitments a half castaway
i go down to the sea
and let the waves beat the black dog out of me
down to the sea
here in the shadow the days become one
weeks become months as the year comes undone
the song that i wrote you is still in my head
safe under layers of a decade unsaid
i go down to the sea
and let the waves beat the black dog out of me
down to the sea
like a shipwreck survivor i fall to my knee
down to the sea
every year he arrives
i’m always taken by surprise
never see him coming
or hear the kick drumming
the fe fi fo fumming
till i’m running in circles again
the coastguard is silent as he tows me back in
he’s heard it all before but still i begin
and despite my heroics i know that he knows
to top up the diesel when the southerly blows
