Sometime To Return

Key: BMedium

G#m

BWell I ran away, I walked a fine line, a Awaste of time, no need to find

EYou will call and I thank mine and Ato remind me I am fine

BWhat you are is what you see and Ayou see me and we can be

SomeEthing we can call we.. we are, Awe are, we are

E Doing a what we can Working without a plan I'm be-

G#mB

E -ginning to understand It's getting out of hand!

BI have seen these clothes because I Awoke up on this road before

EPicked it apart for hours and hours and Ahours and hours

Of Bturning, tossing, and Alooking and listening

To Eyou and all the fucked up things you Ado... But you're

E Doing the best you can With every grain of sand That's

G#mB

E trickling through your hand So catch me if you can!

BIf someday comes early, comes Ewhipping comes whirling

To Atake you for all you have Blearned

BThe tables are turning, your Ebridges are burning

My Adestination sometime to reBturn

BThrow away your calendar and Asaddle up your salamander

EGet up and get down, ride Ainto town and look around

BGet up and do something it's Ayour time to choose it,

Edo it, do it, do it, do it, do Bit!

E Doing the best I can With or without a plan I'm

G#mB

E taking what I can get I haven't seen nothin' yet

BIf one day you wake up and Efind what you make up

ACome and get me, come and take me Bthere

BInto your illusion, I'll Emake my intrusion

AAnytime, anyplace, anyBwhere

BAEA

BThe hour glass is draining fast, it Aknows no future holds no past

EAnd all this to will come to pass, Anever forever whatever!

(**** NOTE: Quick key change here ****)

EIf someday comes early, comes Awhipping comes whirling

To Dtake you for all you have Elearned

(* then we go back to the normal key *)

BThe tables are turning, your Ebridges are burning

Summer of Drugs

Key: EMedium

ESister got bit by a copperhead snake in the Awoods beBhind the Ehouse

EAnd nobody was home so I grabbed her foot and I Asucked that Bpoison Eout

ASister got better in a month or two when the swelling it went down

But EI started off my teenage years with a Apoison Bin my Emouth

And we were Atoo young to be Ehippies Amissed out on Elove

AReturn to our teen in the Elate seventies in a Esummer Bof the Adrugs

EMommy and Daddy could never understand that Alife was Bnever Ecold

ETheir idea of a rollicking town was a Akitchen Btap apEpall

AAcid, grass, downs and speed, junked us days were made of

EHow could they suspect those kids where the Amonsters Beat their Emakers

And they were Atoo young to be Ehippies Amissed out on Elove

We Alearned from the teens of the Elate seventies in a

ESummer Bof the Edrugs

FBoys and girls in Devery town

FSandman spread his Csand around

FNow we are just Bwaking up from a Dsummer Cof Bdrugs

Hey Ahey (hey hey), woh Ewoh (woh woh), uh-Ahuh (uh-huh)

Hey Eyeah (hey yeah), hey Ahey (hey hey), woh Ewoh (woh woh)

Oh Eyeah Byeah Ayeah

EMommies and Daddies are too shy to talk Aabout those Bbirds and Ebees

EIntegrated schools had stopped, Afacts of Blife plEease

AGirls and boys went away came back, empty after weekend

The Etalk on the phone consisted of a Ahush, Bvoices spEeaking

And they were Atoo young to be Ehippies Amissed out on Elove

ReAturn to our teen in the Elate seventies in a Esummer Bof the Edrugs

And they were Atoo young (Etoo young)

And they were Atoo fast (Etoo fast)

A E Oh, the Esummer Bof Edrugs

Runaway train

Key: CMedium

CCall you up in the middle of the night

EmLikBe a firefly without a light

AmYou were there like a blowtorch burnin'

GI was a key that could use a little turnin'

CSo tired that I couldn't even sleep

EmSo many secrets I couldn't keep

AmPromised myself I wouldn't weep

GOne more promise I couldn't keep

FIt seems no one can hGelp me now

I'm iCn too deep there's Amno way out

FThis time I have Emreally led myseGlf astray

CRunaway train never going back

EmWrong way on a one way track

AmSeems like I should be getting somewhere

GSomehow I'm neither here nor there

CCan you help me remember how to smile

EmMake it somehow all seem worthwile

AmHow on earth did I get so jaded

GLife's mysteries seem so faded

CI can go where no one else can go

EmI know what no one else knows

AmHere I am just drowning in the rain

GWith a ticket for a runaway train

FAnd everything seems Gcut and dry

CDay and night, AmEarth and sky

FSomehow I Emjust don't believe it G

CRunaway train never going back

EmWrong way on a one way track

AmSeems like I should be getting somewhere

GSomehow I'm neither here nor there

CGot a ticket for a runaway train

EmLike a madman laughing at the rain

AmLittle out of touch little insane

GIt's just easier than dealing with the pain

CRunaway train never going back

EmWrong way on a one way track

AmSeems like I should be getting somewhere

GSomehow I'm neither here nor there

CRunaway train never coming back

EmRunaway train tearing up the track

AmRunaway train burning in my veins

GId runaway but it always seems the same. Repeat

Who you trying to Dhustle

Somebody want to show your Amuscle

Second hand DexCcuses never went too fGar

What's this scene you're Dmaking

Your ideas have been Ataken

You just stood there Dshaking

You stood there Ashaking

Said you Gwant to be, want to be, want to be, want to be
