But I’ve got one thing left.
I’ve just got one thing left.
Before you turn and bid goodnight, all I wanted was to tell you every[(]thing.[)]

And here we are back at the start.
Just a step from your porch but not quite out of the yard.
You’re playing a little trick called hard to get and I’ve got to admit
that I kind of like it.
Yeah, I am game for the chase.

But I’ve got one thing left.
I’ve just got one thing left.
Before you turn and bid goodnight, all I wanted was to tell you every[(]thing.[)]

Don’t go inside! Stay please.
Don’t go inside.

One thing left
I’ve just got one thing left.
Before you turn and bid goodnight, all I wanted was to tell you everything.

I think I’ve had enough of your world today
My head has opened up, and your pictures fall like rain
In front of my face they spin
We were corresponding shapes like the rocks in a ledge
Now this puzzle has been rained upon, and the corners lost their edge
Nothing fits as it once did
But at [E7-13]least we had finished at –

Am Am A9sus4 Amadd9 Fmaj7
All over this room I reign you are
Am Am A9sus4 Amadd9 Fmaj7
All over this room I reign you are
Am Am A9sus4 Amadd9 Fmaj7
All over this room I reign you are
What’s wrong with that?
Nothing, I guess

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/i/i_the_mighty/carousel_crd.html )
So I entertain my mind with little ticks and movie flicks
Combinations of quirky comedies, but they’ve all got romantic twists
And when I can’t forget I write, that’s how this whole thing came to be
It helps me when I’m l[E7-13]onely

Am Am A9sus4 Amadd9 Fmaj7
All over this room I reign you are
Am Am A9sus4 Amadd9 Fmaj7
All over this room I reign you are
Am Am A9sus4 Amadd9 Fmaj7
All over this room I reign you are
What’s wrong with that?
Nothing, I guess

So I guess you’re right, I did abhor
The awkward silence we endured
And spoke a truce to stop the swell
And slow this spinning carousel
Yet still it spun from time to time
Laced with mistrust that cracked the spine
This feeble frame just would not hold
And sparked the drifting of two souls
I am not ready nor deserve
A line of love that can’t be blurred
Into a shallow blotch of lust
A dirty thought, a pointless fuck
I never properly explained
This bodied beauty you contain
Is too much for a man to take
At such an ageless feeling age

All over this room I reign you are
All over this room I reign you are
All over this room I reign you are
What’s wrong with that?
Nothing, I guess
Nothing, I guess
Nothing, I guess

(Note the change in the last chorus.)

Miss Erray, you won’t get the best of me.
You drop them a line, they take the bait, and I will not make that same mistake.
Oh Miss Erray, you know just how to make me stay.
When I finally get ahead, I fall right back in your bed.

[Verse 2]
Is that really how you make it up to me?
With a little more fire, a little more love between the sheets.
I will never be the sad and lonesome creep who gets off from the

awkward pause that only break up sex can bring.
Just one more to remember.
And one more just for fun.
Baby give me one more for forever, so I can fill this filthy void until the next one.

Miss Erray, you won’t get the best of me.
You drop them a line, they take the bait, and I will not make that same mistake.
Oh Miss Erray, you know just how to make me stay.
When I finally get ahead, I fall right back in your bed.

[Instrumental]


You play the game so well, but what’s your game plan when time spoils those goods you sell?

[Chorus 2]
Miss Erray, you won’t get the best of me.
You drop them a line, they take the bait, and I will not make that same mistake.
Oh Miss Erray, you can no longer make me stay.
‘Cause I’ve found myself again, a new place to lay my head.

So how you gonna make it up to me? (Ahh ahh)
So how you gonna make it up to me? (Ahh ahh)

I understand upset, but how could you say that you hate me.
I know you won’t forget [Em/B]easily, easily.

In one small step you flipped like a coin from a finger.
Baby you’re so hell bent, [Em/B]but easily, easily I sleep.

Let silence calm the nerves that are easily bothered
And we can let all this talk [Em/B]walk it off, walk it off.

What happened to rational. Each call complete with a guilt trip.
An arguments bound to fall [Em/B]from our lips, from our lips.

You’re so worked up, the product of too many questions.
Well baby lets kill this grudge, make the cut,
[Em/B]sometimes it helps to keep this stuff bottled up.

You said, ‘I don’t want to be your lover, just want you to let me in.’
Black and white we’re under covers.
Wanna taste your Technicolor.

Well I want financial freedom with this band.
[(]I want[)] dead presidents.
I wanna hear a politician speak of something relevant.
But I don’t want to be your lover, just want you to let me in.
Black and white we’re under covers.
Wanna taste your Technicolor.

”How does it feel? Oh, how does it feel to know everything you thought to be
true isn’t real?”
( F#m ) A F#m B (play these quickly along with the song)
And her voice is lovely as she sings:
“Drink it in… Have you ever seen oh so many beautiful things destroyed in one piece?”
“Ain’t it grand? Breathe it in… Have you ever seen how we color everything?”
“Well, sometimes it’s all black and white.”

With that she touches my temple and I tremble,
I can't breathe and I fall to my knees.
[(]My eye[)]s are wide and projecting out on the street like a movie screen
But with every scene I feel the grief and all the pain of every death
Of every final thought that left a brain.
I feel the weight of everyone.
Of all the sorrow, all the people who were never loved.
[(]And [)]she asks me:

”How does it feel? Oh, how does it feel to know everything you thought to be
true isn’t real?”
[(]And he[)]r voice is lovely as she sings:
“Drink it in… Have you ever seen oh so many beautiful things destroyed in one piece?”
“Ain’t it grand? Breathe it in… Have you ever seen how we color everything?”
“Well, sometimes it’s all black and white.”

“…So why put up a fight?”

Then it all went dark, till I awoke in a room of white.
The sound of my heart beating out of my chest and the glare of floodlights.
I hear them speak but I can’t make out a thing…
(Death is but frequency we all will feel eventually)
I see her face covered up by a mask and she’s saying something?
(Death is but a frequency we all will feel eventually)
Oh but the voice is different?

(During the solo, play this but listen to the song how it goes: )

So everybody sing! Drink it in!
Can’t you see that we are the many beautiful things that make up one piece?
Ain’t it grand? Breathe it in! Have you ever seen how we color everything?
Well, nobody bleeds black and white.

Nobody bleeds black and white.

Tuning: Standard

In the actual song, there is a picking pattern to go with
these chords (as well as an extra guitar part), but strumming
them sounds fine too. You can watch this video to get an idea
of what he’s doing:

Intro: G, Cadd9

He prays his eyes stay open on the long and lonesome road
He lives his life through daydreams of the girl he had known before
He laughs about his wasted life, turns off the radio
There’s no use in being angry so long as he makes it home

He sings “If I, I could turn this around tonight
I’d drive, drive back to my old town life
And when I say that I miss you, I know it don’t mean much
But I’ll see you again, my Lorelei
I, I will, I will”

He pulls the brake of his big rig and gives his boss his last regards
Takes a Greyhound back to his hometown, to the steps of her old front yard
He’s sent to Graveyard Boulevard, where he finds her at the top of the hill
He mouths the words “Will you marry me?” Her tombstone reads “I will”

He sings “If I, I could’ve asked you out that night
I’d have led a different life, and maybe you would be my wife
But now I sit here missing you, and I know it don’t mean much
But I’ll see you again, my Lorelei
I, I will, I will, I will, I will”

He ain’t scared of death, he greets the end
He ain’t scared of death, he greets the end
He ain’t scared of death, he greets the end
He ain’t scared of death, he greets the end
Well I will, I will
Well I will, I will
Well I will, I will

Well I will, I will

Well I will
