And if [F/E]the snow
Bur[F/E]ies my
My neighborhood
And if my parents [F/E]are crying
Then I’ll [F/E]dig a tunnel
From my window to yours
Yeah a tunnel
From my window to yours

You climb [F/E]out the chimney
And meet me [F/E]in the middle
The middle of the town
And since there’s no one [F/E]else around
We let [F/E]our hair grow long
And forget all we used to know
Then our skin gets thicker
From living out in the snow

Chorus:
You change all the lead

Sleepin’ in my head
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn

Riff

Then we tried to [F/E]name our babies
But we for[F/E]got all the names that
The names we used to know
But sometimes, we re[F/E]member our bedrooms
And our [F/E]parent’s bedrooms
And the bedrooms of our friends
Then we think of our parents,
Well what ever happened to them

Chorus:
You change all the lead
Sleepin’ in my head to gold

As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn
The song I’ve been trying to sing

Purify the colors, purify my mind
Purify the colors
Purify my mind
And spread the ashes of the colors, over this heart of mine

ooooooooooh, ooooooooooh |

Alexander, our older brother
Set out for, a great adventure
He tore our images, out of his pictures
He scratched our names out, of all his letters

For a year we caught his tears in a cup
And now we’re gonna, make him drink it
Come on Alex, don’t die or dry up

Qu’il porte des oeillieres

4. Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)

Intro: Dm F x2

I woke up with the power out, not really somethin’ to shout about
Ice has covered up my parent’s hands, don’t have any dreams don’t have any plans
I went out into the night, I went out to find some light
Kids are swingin’ from the power lines, nobody’s home so nobody minds

I woke up on the darkest night neighbors all were shouting that they found the light
We found the light
Shadows jumpin’ all over my walls, some of them big, some of them small
I went out into the night I went out to pick a fight with anyone
Light a candle for the kids, Jesus Christ don’t keep it hid

Ice has covered up my parents hands, don’t have any dreams don’t have any plans
Growin’ up in some strange storm, nobody’s cold, nobody’s warm
I went out into the night, I went out to find some light
Kids are dyin’ out in the snow, look at them go,look at them go

Dm F x4

And the power’s out, in the heart of man
Take it from your heart, put it in your hand
N.C
What’s the plan, what’s the plan

Is it a dream, is it a lie, I think I’ll let you decide
Just light a candle for the kids, Jesus Christ don’t keep it hid
Cause nothing’s hid, from us kids
You ain’t foolin’ nobody, with the lights out

Dm F x4

And the power’s out, in the heart of man
Take it from your heart, put it in your hand
And there’s something wrong in the heart of man
Take it from your heart and put it in your hand
Hand ha ha hand, where’d you go

Gm F Bb A7 x2

5. Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles)

G/B: x20033
A7sus4: x02040

I am [G/B]waitin’, ‘til I don?t know when
Cause I?m sure, it’s gonna happen then
Time keeps [G/B]creepin’, through the neighborhood
Killing old folks, wakin’ up babies just like we knew it would

All the [G/B]neighbors, are startin’ up a fire
Burning all the old folks, the witches and the liars
My eyes are [G/B]covered by the hands of my unborn kids
But my heart keeps watchin’, through the skin of my eyelids

They say a watched pot, won?t ever boil
Well I closed my eyes and nothin? changed[G/F#]
Just some water, getting hotter, in the flames

It’s not a [G/B]lover I want no more
And it?s not heaven, I?m pining for
But there’s some s[G/B]pirit I used to know
That’s been drowned out, by the radio

They say a watched pot won’t ever boil
You can’t raise a baby on motor oil[G/F#]
Just like a seed down in the soil, you gotta give it time

6. Crown Of Love

Capo 3

Gsus4: 330033
E7/G#: 420100

They say it fades if you let it
love was made to fo[E7/G#]rget it
I carved your name across my eyelids
You pray for rain I pray for [E7/G#]blindness

If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love has fallen from me
If you still want me, please forgive me
Because the spark is not within me

I snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom

The only thing that you keep changin’
Is your name, my love keeps [E7/G#]growin’
Still the same, just like a cancer
And you won?t give me a straight [E7/G#]answer

If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love has fallen from me[E7/G#]
If you still want me please forgive me
Because your hands are not upon me

I shrugged them off before my mom walked in my bedroom

The pains of love, and they keep growin’
In my heart there?s flowers g[E7/G#]rowin’
On the grave of our old love
Since you gave me a straight a[E7/G#]nswer

If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love is not upon me[E7/G#]
If you still want me, please forgive me
Cause this crown is not wi[C/G#]thin me
It?s not wi[C/G]thin me, it?s not w[C/F]ithin me

You gotta be the [C/G]one, you gotta be the way
Your name is the [C/F]only word that I can say
[C/G]
You gotta be the one, you gotta be the way
Your name is the only [C/F]word, the only word that I can [C/G]say[C/G#]
The only word that I can [C/G]say[C/G#]

[C/G] [C/G#]

7. Wake Up

Intro: C

Oh oh, oh oh oh [C/B]oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Something filled up[C/B]
My heart with nothin’
Someone told me not to cry

But now that I’m older[C/B]
My heart’s colder
And I can see that it’s a lie

[C/B]
Children, wake up[C/B]
Hold your mistake up
Before they turn the summer into dust

If the children don’t grow up[C/B]
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
We’re just a million little gods causing rain storms
Turning every good thing to rust
I guess we’ll just have to adjust[C/B]

With my lightning bolts a glowin’
I can see where I am going to be when
The reaper he reaches and touches my hand

C C/B Am F C x2

With my lightning bolts[C/B] a glowin’
I can see where I am going
With my lightning bolts[C/B] a glowin’
I can see where I am going

Better look out below

Haiti, mon pays
Wounded mother I?ll never see
Ma famille set me free
Throw my ashes into the sea

G Em x4

Mes cousins jamais nes
Hantent les nuits de Duvalier
Rien n?arrete nos espirits
Guns can?t kill what soldiers can?t see

In the forest we are hiding
Unmarked graves where flowers grow
Hear the soldiers angry yelling
In the river we will go

Tous les morts-nes forment une armee
Soon we will reclaim the earth
All the tears and all the bodies
Bring about our second birth

Haiti, never free
n?aie pas peur de sonner l?alarme
Tes enfants sont partis
In those days their blood was still warm

9. Rebellion (Lies)

Capo 1

Intro: A D A F#m x4

Sleeping is giving in
No matter what the time is
Sleeping is giving in
So lift those heavy eyelids

People say that you’ll die
Faster than without water
But we know it’s just a lie
Scare your son, scare your daughter

A D A F#m x2

People say that your dreams
Are the only things that save ya
Come on baby in our dreams
We can live our misbehavior

Chorus:
Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies
Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies
Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies
Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies
Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies
Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies
Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

People try and hide the night
Underneath the covers
People try and hide the light
Underneath the covers
Come on hide your lovers, underneath the covers
Come on hide your lovers, underneath the covers
Hidin’ from your brothers, underneath the covers
Come on hide your lovers, underneath the covers

A D A F#m x2

People say that you’ll die
Faster than without water
But we know it’s just a lie
Scare your son, scare your daughter
Scare your son, scare your daughter
Scare your son, scare your daughter

Now here’s the sun, it’s alright, lies, lies
Now here’s the moon, it’s alright, lies, lies
Now here’s the sun, it’s alright, lies, lies
Now here’s the moon, it’s alright, lies, lies

But every time you close your eyes, lies, lies
Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies
But every time you close your eyes, lies, lies
Every time you close your eyes, lies, lies

Solo: Am F C G x8

10. In The Backseat

I like the peace, in the backseat
I don?t have to drive, I don?t have to speak
I can watch the country side, and I can fall asleep

My family tree’s, loosing all it?s leaves
Crashing towards the driver’s seat, the lightning bolt made enough heat
To melt the street beneath your feet

Chorus:
Alice died
In the night
I?ve been learning to drive
My whole life
I?ve been learning

I like the peace, in the backseat
I don?t have to drive, I don?t have to speak
I can watch the country side

Chorus:
Alice died
In the night
I?ve been learning to drive
My whole life
I?ve been learning Oh ooooooooooh

My Whole life
