Outta Reach 03:43
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

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
3.
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
4.
Drive By 03:20
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
5.
Harlequin 02:55
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
6.
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
7.
Dust & Doubt 03:19
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
8.
Fully Rinsed 03:38
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
9.
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
10.
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
11.
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
