Verse:

Sun breaks, I can’t wait til I’ll be on my way again
I’m sick and tired of waiting with nothin to do.
Watching the rain through a crack in the window
It’s the little things that get you through
LIke the same sun risin on me as rising over you.

Walking and talking like birds in the sky
You tell your secrets, how gracefully you lie.

Chorus:
Oh, that’s the way you come to me
I’m head over heals and I’m always gonna be.
That’s okay, I love the way you come to me.

I guess I’m tempting fate, a little too long it seems
Walking in this heat is just like floating in a dream
I’ve been torn apart, put back together
With a couple of pieces in wrong,
I’m holding up now, oh, but I won’t be for long.

Tossing and turning like waves in the sea
You show myself to me, you let me down easily

(Chorus)

Well, I know one night together won’t make up for ten apart
I’m as steady as rain, nothing ever changes in my heart
Throw off the covers, open the windows
I don’t care what we do,
I’ve been standing for days, now I’ll to fall down with you.

Tossing and turning like waves in the sea
You show yourself to me, you lie so easily

(Chorus)

[VERSE 1]
Single file in the work line
You need a card to die in my mine
Life ain’t so bad working underground
Better than dodging bullets and army rounds

|G |G |G |G | x2

[VERSE 2]
Shut your mouth
Don’t complain
If you want to see your family again
Cause I can’t explain
All these accidents in your work camps

|G |G |G |G |

All we’re doin'
Is psing on a fuse that’s burnin'
All we’re doin’
Is psing on a fuse that’s burnin’

That’s burnin’

[GUITAR SOLO + KEYBOARD SOLO]

|G |G |G |G |

[VERSE 3]
Politics goes in and out of fashion
Like mood rings and new religions
Tight lipped on the news wire
While the noose around your neck gets pulled tighter and tighter

|G |G |G |G |

All we’re doin'
Is psing on a fuse that’s burnin'
All we’re doing’
Is psing on a fuse that’s burnin’
That’s burnin’
That’s burnin’

Words and Music by Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor
Key: A

Capo on 2nd fret
(All chords shown for key of G)

Intro:

Verse 1:

Hey its me, what a big surprise,
Calling you up from a restaurant round the bend
Just got in from way up north
Aching and tired now, and I could use a friend
Might be a fool to think that you do wanna see me again

Verse 2:

I know its been a while since I talked to you
Nothing wrong, it’s just nothing ever goes as planned
Many times I thought I’d call
Didn’t have your number in my hand
I know its true, you’d never do the same thing to me

Chorus:

I never meant to make you cry
And though I know I shouldn’t call
It just reminds us of the cost
Oh, of everything we’ve lost
Bad timing that’s all.
And maybe soon there’ll come a day
When no more tears will fall
We each forgive a little bit,
Then we both look back on it
As just bad timing that’s all.

(Instrumental verse)

Verse 3:
Used to have so many plans
Something always seemed to turn out wrong.
Never could catch up to you
Many on and doing all you’ve done
I don’t know why, the harder I try, the harder it comes

(chorus)

(Outro: same as intro)

(Verse 1)
I’m not saying I’m angry now
I’m just wondering why
You changed your mind
Happens all the time

How does it feel to have a winning hand
From a first-rate failure to the
Leader in the chosen land
People never understand

(Chorus)
If the world keeps spinning round
It’ll be alright
You said if you were on your own
You could really fly
And while you’re up there turn around
And touch the sky
I guess the point of getting out
Is never saying goodbye

(Verse 3)
You learn your lessons in the

Hardest time
Run out of patience
Lean on the bold face lie
People never wonder why

I feel too tired to scream and shout
Left in the sun
‘til the colours all fade out
Prayin it’ll all work out

(Chorus)
If the world keeps spinning round
It’ll be alright
You said if you were on your own
You could really fly
And while you’re up there turn around
And touch the sky
I guess the point of getting out
Is never saying goodbye
Dont even think that all
we do is sit around and just cry

Intro: A D (x2)
I walked you to the corner we stood beside the bus
And the tears rolled down our faces as the driver stared at us
Typical summer that time of year
When you go back to Toronto and I stay here
And Ill miss the way you wake up
And the way that you sigh
And Ill miss the way you turn your head away when you cry
I dont think this time will fly
Here comes the sad nights again
Here comes the sad nights again
Round about midnight when its still too hot to think
Well go back down to the neighborhood and get ourselves a drink
Everyday working not getting far
You know this town aint much for starting up its only
made for stars
Later when Im walking
Underneath the starless sky
Theres a couple in the doorway and I think I hear them cry
But they turn their heads when I go by
CHORUS


Last days of summer San Gennaro Feast
Theres much hanging in the air and dancing in the streets
People line the corners and they stand beside the fires
And Im watching from my window as the sparks go by
Somewhere theres a gunshot
People scatter everywhere
But it happens everyday so theres still laughter in the air
And as I lay down I wish you were here
CHORUS
Here comes the sad nights again
A-Asus2-A (repeat to end)

[VERSE 1]
And I remember Florida
The land of endless malls
Images of Elvis flicks
Convertibles and blondes
And I remember cryin’
As you walked away along the shore
The last words I heard you say were what a bore

[VERSE 2]
And I remember drinking
In those air-conditioned bars
Putting all my quarters in a juke-box
With big silver stars
And I remember Nat King Cole
Singing a song about the rain
[G/B]

Oh I’m feeling blue again———-

Oh yea I’m feeling blue again––

And it was just like a vacation[G/B]
And I’m sure we had us some fun[G/B]
It was just like a vacation[G/B]
And I swear we even sat out in the sun

[KEYBOARD SOLO and GUITAR SOLO]

[VERSE 3]
You see my mother owned a trailer home
On west Broward past A1A
And to beat the north wind
We took a spin
To that tin can by the sea
Well I thought she was mine
But she was just passing time
She even passed out of town in my car
And left me with Nat King Cole
And the silver stars[G/B]
Whoa, Nat King Cole and the silver stars

And it was just like a vacation[G/B]
And I’m sure we had us some fun[G/B]
It was just like a vacation[G/B]
And I swear we even sat out
Yea I swear we even sat out
Yea I swear we even sat out in the sun––
In the sun––
In the sun––
In the sun

I only know what I was told[F/C]
Now rumours fly in from everywhere[F/C]
People got so cold—-

I don’t mind
I’ll stand anywhere with you anytime
Oh when the night is falling
Conversation just wastes your time
Oh I’ll fall in line-–
I’ll fall in line-—

People make up the wildest things[F/C]
I know that sometimes they’re true[F/C]
But you don’t have to hide a thing from me[F/C]
I’ve had my troubles too

I’ve got time
To keep walking beside you forever
Girl I don’t mind

Oh When the streets are empty
Oh and you’re feeling lost and left behind

Oh I’ll fall in line-–
I’ll fall in line-–

|C | F/C|C | F/C| etc

I’ve seen the shadows coming over you[F/C]
When some fool drags you down[F/C]
You know they’re watching everything you do[F/C]
Don’t let it turn you around—–

Walk on by
Don’t let the world of suggestion catch your eye
Oh when the night is falling girl
And you need someone to hide behind

Oh I’ll fall in line-–
I’ll fall in line-–
I’ll fall in line-–
