In the depths of dizziness
I picked a fight with myself like a real roughneck
Screaming, “You don’t know who you’re dealing with.”
I threw a hell of a punch but I couldn’t connect

At the edge of a silhouette
I caught a glimpse of a face I will never forget
Speaking future words of an idiot
I understood them at once but didn’t know what I meant

Be still or break everything in half
Find free will in a drawing of a bath
Kill what you want or save everything you can
Be still. You’re the picture of a man

Oh, man, can you picture it? Picture of a man
Oh, man, can you picture it?

In the heat of an argument
I got tricked into saying that I knew how I felt
As if you give something a value just by naming it
I’d be a hell of a vendor if I knew who I’d sell

And at the end of everything relevant
I slowly emptied my lungs and watched the light sunset
Burning everything natural and negative
I inhaled it all and didn’t know where I went

Be still or break everything in half
Find free will in a drawing of a bath
Kill what you want or save everything you can
Be still. You’re the picture of a man
You’re the picture of a man
You’re the picture of a man

Oh, man, can you picture it? Picture of a man
Oh, man, can you picture it?

Intro:

G D C (walk down to Em)

If these walls could talk
I’d defer to the furniture,
The piano, the table, the bed that we both sleep in,
These constant silent messengers

’Cause there’s a story at the bottom of each fingerprint
That these disregarded artifacts collect
And if we boil down these documented memories
I have a feeling we should know what to expect

You were right on time
Out of nowhere
Right on time
And all I need

Ooohhh
Ooohhh

But if you don’t wanna do that play C G C

A little girl sinks in the deep end and looks up towards the sky
Into a little blue world of legs and her feet that look like they’re in flight
Caug C
And a slow motion dance while the water expands the sun’s refracted light
She just has to pretend she can hear the music

When she starts crying in her goggles the scene becomes unclear
She keeps peering into this underworld through the filter of her tears
Caug C
Which let her keep hold of the moment as if it was a souvenir
She just has to pretend she knows how to use it

Maybe it’s a cold dark truth that makes her cry
Maybe it’s a ancient past life memory recalled
Maybe it’s a chemical that got into her eye
Maybe it’s for no good reason at all
Riff C
Maybe it’s for no good reason at all

His wife asked how were things at work today as Bill walked through the door
He put his coat on the chair, his keys on the table, and his eyes down on the floor
Caug C
And he tightened his jaw and he thought how the cause and effects weren’t clear anymore
Figuring out how to say what’s wrong

He said I know that I’ll be leaving you that’s all I really know
But I wish I could tell what exactly compels me to turn my steps and go
Caug C
Because there’s so much love that you’ve given me there’s so much love that I owe.
It’s with myself that I can’t seem to get along

Maybe he just felt the hungry hand of fate
Maybe he won’t rest until he sees it fall
Maybe it’s a mood that he’s in just for the day
Maybe it’s for no good reason at all
Riff C
Maybe it’s for no good reason at all

An actor was found dead today in his Culver City home
And with no evidence of foul play it seemed he acted on his own
Caug C
The position of his body looked like he was reaching for the phone
Makes you wonder who he was gonna call

Maybe all his demons were settling their debts
Maybe all the pressure finally drove him to the wall
Maybe there were secrets that he needed to protect
Maybe it’s for no good reason at all
Riff
Maybe it’s for no good reason
Riffy
No good reason
Riff it up C
No good reason at all

All my mornings start with the alarm clock
Every dream gets stopped before the end
And with each bit I remember, the more the details run together
And I’m left with a message I don’t understand
E Esus4 E G#7 B7 E
I’ve lost contact with the great beyond again

And as I stare over my breakfast and out into the street
I find that sorrow I’ve been chasing way too often
That the man that stands in front of you is not the sum of all his dreams
But I’m hoping they’ve got something in common
Yeah, I’m hoping they’ve something in common

The way that love attacks and then surrenders
The things I mean the most when I say her name
And if he ever speaks of me casually, I hope he does so carefully
‘Cause when you’ve loved somebody, everything’s to blame
E B7 E
And I don’t want her to ever feel ashamed

But all my best kept secrets are the ones I didn’t know I had
So I couldn’t even tell her if I wanted
That the way that she remembers me is not the way I really am
But I’m hoping they’ve got something in common
I’m hoping they’ve got something in common
D#m7 G#7 C#m7 E7 D G#m6(omit5) B6(b5, omit3)
I’m hoping they’ve got something in common

A D A
So I feel like a man behind a camera
Who waits patiently for something he won’t see
A D A D
I need to stop giving suggestions and just illuminate the questions
That seems much more accurate t[B7(#11)/F#]o me
So keep the frame as wide as it can be

Cause all the love and friends and happiness that ever came my way
Revealed themselves the moment I stopped watching
Cause it’s not faith that comes from miracles, but miracles that come from faith
And I’m sure that they’ve got something in common
I know that they’ve got something in common
G#m7 C#7 F#m A Dsus4 Dm Dsus2 G Gsus A
I know that they’ve got something in common

like the memory from your mother’s house from before you got too old
like the feeling from a photograph before it’s meanings all got told
the words I say can be silver, but what’s left unsaid can be gold
so g[Bm7/A]et to know me once I go away

maybe ‘cause I come from such an empty-hearted town
or maybe ‘cause some love of mine had really let me down
but the only time I am lonely is when others are around
I just [Bm7/A]never end up knowing what to say

Chorus:
if I wanted someone to clean me up, I’d find myself a maid
if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn’t need to get paid
if I wanted someone to understand me, I’d have so much more to say
I want you to make the days move easy

REPEAT INTRO:

I took everything I thought from what it means to be a man
we need words to be put to what we do not understand
while you lean into the echoes and you do not raise a hand
Bm7A Am Em
oh woman, help me see it like it is

VERSE CHORDS PLAYED TWICE:

Chorus:
if I wanted someone to clean me up, I’d find myself a maid
if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn’t need to get paid
if I wanted someone to understand me, I’d have so much more to say
I want you to make the days move easy

if I wanted someone to clean me up, I’d find myself a maid
if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn’t need to get paid
if I wanted someone to cut me down, I’d have handed you the blade
I want you to make the days move easy
I just want you to make the days move easy

The separation was symmetrical
They both retreated to their sides
Drawing lists of demands
And muddy lines in the sand
Trying out their separate lives

[Verse 2]

[(G)]Most of the damage was collateral
But still inspired some debate
All the principles of
why all the people we love
Are the same as we can also hate

N.C. G Bm D G
You just roll with the punches
[(G)]Until you can’t feel a thing
[(G)]You just roll with the punches
Aww yeah

[Verse 3]
[(G)]The separation was logistical
Deciding what belongs to whom
How dying love manifests
In a rug or a chest
The decorations of a room

[Verse 4]
[(G)]Every promise was negotiable
Most of all the ones they made alone
What she finally forgave
What he’ll take to his grave
Learning how to not pick up the phone

N.C. G Bm D G
You just roll with the punches
[(G)]Until you can’t feel a thing
Y[(G)]ou just roll with the punches
Aww yeah

[Verse 5]
[(G)]He starts existing as a miracle
A band of static right behind your eyes
That you filter everything through
Without knowing you do
A past and future synthesized

[Chorus x 2]

N.C. G Bm D G
You just roll with the punches
[(G)]Until you can’t feel a thing
Y[(G)]ou just roll with the punches
Aww yeah

Late night drives and hot french fries and friends around the country
From Charlottesville to good old Santa Fe
When I think of you, you still got on that hat that says let’s party
I hope that thing is never thrown away

I hope that life without a chaperone is what you thought it’d be
I hope your brother’s El Camino runs forever
I hope the world sees the same person that you’ve always been to me
And may all your favorite bands stay together

Now I’m just waking up and I’m not thinking clearly so don’t quote me
Of what I hope when I’m writing you this song
Ain’t it funny how some people pop into your head so easily
I haven’t seen you in there for so long

I hope that life without a chaperone is what you thought it’d be
I hope your brother’s El Camino runs forever
I hope the world sees the same person that you’ve always been to me
And may all your favorite bands stay together

(Solo)

I hope that life without a chaperone is what you thought it’d be
I hope your brother’s El Camino runs forever
I hope the world sees the same person that you’ve always been to me
And may all your favorite bands stay together

I’m sad about the messages you’re sending.
I’m sad about the sht we’re doing wrong.

I’m sad about the never ending love were in.
We keep psing on the fire.
But it keeps burning so strong.
Can we both just say I love you and get it on.

You’re boy from Birmingham seems nice enough to me.
But unqualified for you and your heavy vibes.
He doesn’t know the troubled story that he has written himself into.
He doesn’t know he is just a place for you to hide.
You ought to tell him best of luck man. Roll tide.

Chorus:

Roll tide.
It can be easier to swim when the water’s high.
Roll tide.
When what we want the most has us terrified.
Roll tide.
If we don’t want to let go, then we have to fight.
Roll tide. Roll Tide.

I’m asking now for reconciliation.
I’m asking now for what we have to say.
I’m asking now for both of us to do a little changing.
I want to dance with you forever in this quantum Cabaret.
If we just allow ourselves it can be okay.

I close my eyes sometimes now when I’m driving.
To feel the lack of distance between our sides.
To see the orange and purple glow of our two flames.
To take my weary self out for a ride.
To tell myself hang in there man. Roll tide.

Chorus:

Roll tide.
It can be easier to swim when the water’s high.
Roll tide.
When what we want the most has us terrified.
Roll tide.
If we don’t want to let go, then we have to fight.

If we can’t let go, then we have to try.

Roll tide. Roll Tide.

I could go on talking or I could stop
Wring out each memory ‘til I get every drop
Sift through the details of the others involved
The true crime would be thinking it’s just one person’s fault

Like an honest signature on a fake ID
Like the guilty conscience with the innocent plea
You can just ignore it, put it out of mind
But ain’t it funny how the past won’t ever let something lie?

Let’s make a list of all the things the world has put you through
Let’s raise a glass to all the people you’re not speaking to
I don’t know what else you wanted me to say to you
Things happen, that’s all they ever do

In a different time, on a different floor
I might mourn the loss of who I’m not anymore
So I’m driving out to Oakland for a good look back
And a few revisions to my plan of attack

Let’s make a list of all the things the world has put you through
Let’s raise a glass to all the people you’re not speaking to
I don’t know what else you wanted me to say to you
Things happen, that’s all they ever do

I think I’ll see Lily
See where she stands, I
can’t help how I feel, I don’t think anyone can
Sometimes we’re lovers, sometimes we’re friends
The hope of magnetism between two dead ends

(x2)

Let’s make a list of all the things the world has put you through
Let’s raise a glass to all the people you’re not speaking to
I don’t know what else you wanted me to say to you
Things happen, that’s all they ever do

Let’s make a list of all the things the world has put you through
(You can qualify the spirit guides you listen to)
Let’s raise a glass to all the people you’re not speaking to
(Or why a mom’s compelled to bronze its baby’s shoes)

I don’t know what else you wanted me to say to you
Things happen, that’s all they ever do

That’s all they ever do
That’s all they ever do
That’s all they ever do
