  • Ordinary Blue (Song Sketch)
    I close my eyes so tired
    Another endless day
    If only I could lie here
    Until this all goes away
    But these ill winds will keep on blowing
    I don't see it ending soon
    And all I feel is
    This ordinary blue
    The weary world is changing
    not for better I'm afraid
    I see the col ors fading
    Things won't ever be the same
    I wish I didn't have to tell you
    I wish it wasn't true
    But all we're left with
    Is this Ordinary blue
    Ordinary Blue
    Pushing my way through
    Ordinary Blue
    It will have to do
    Learn to live my life
    in this ordinary blue
    When I'm finally sleeping
    Dreaming technicolor scenes
    The old familiar feeling
    Of how things used to be
    But my eyes slowly open
    To that melancholy hue
    And it's only me
    and this ordinary blue
    Ordinary Blue
    Pushing my way through
    Ordinary Blue
    Nothin' I can do
    Learn to live my life
    in this ordinary blue
    Learn to live my life
    in this ordinary blue

  • It All Feels So Wrong (Song Sketch)
    Take me
    Chew me up and
    Spit me out
    Cut me
    Spread the pieces
    on the ground
    Save me
    From the damage
    That I've done
    Love me
    Like you've never
    Loved no one
    All the colors are gone
    What took me so long?
    It all feels so wrong
    It all feels so wrong
    Lie here
    Staring up at the ceiling fan
    Why care?
    I will never understand
    Crying
    I am sinking
    From within
    Trying
    I don't know where
    To begin
    All the colors are gone
    What took me so long
    It all feels so wrong
    It all feels so wrong
    A dream I try to be
    A truth I want to see
    I'm waiting
    patiently
    Leave me
    To the waves and
    to the wind
    Clean me
    Wash away my
    mortal sins
    Touch me
    with your vision
    and your grace
    Find me
    And remove me
    from this place
    A dream I try to be
    A truth I want to see
    I'm waiting
    patiently

  • Say What's In Your Heart (Song Sketch)
    G D/F# Em C
    It's a perfect night for me to pick a fight
    I don't think you're that innocent
    I'm not the type to believe your hype
    and you seem somewhat indifferent
    I might feel bad to see you this sad
    If you weren't so damn ambivalent
    With your Chinese Fan and spray on tan
    You keep yourself well hidden
    Bb F Gm
    Just say what's in your heart
    The world will not fall apart
    The truth won't land that hard
    Bb F E
    Just say what's in your heart
    It's not enough to just act tough
    And pretend that you're winning
    When your luck seems completely stuck
    You don't change it by grinning
    You can't rely on all your pretty lies
    When even you need convincing
    You might try an elegant goodbye
    What did you think you were thinking?
    Bb F Gm
    Just say what's in your heart
    The world will not fall apart
    The truth won't land that hard
    Bb F E
    Just say what's in your heart
    Outro:
    A G F E
    Ah....

  • Armando's Lament (Song Sketch)
    Am#11 G G/F#
    Am#11 G G/F#
    All my heroes have died
    Am#11 G G/F#
    or gone down in flames
    Am#11 Em
    No one looks me in the eye
    C B7
    When they say my name
    Am#11 G G/F#
    I can't get it right
    Am#11 G G/F#
    or get back into the game
    Am#11 Em
    It seems pointless to try
    C B7
    or stop taking the blame
    C G/B Am7 Am7/G
    I wish that I could tell you
    D/F# D/C G/B
    In a way that you could understand
    C G/B Em
    All I did was try and help you
    C
    Then my world
    B7 C
    crumbled in my hands
    So I say "I am alive"
    When I look into the mirror
    But it feels like a lie
    Just to cover up the fear
    And so, it begins
    This rest of my life
    Read the reasons in the wind
    Maybe you can recognize
    C G/B Am7 Am7/G
    I wish that I could tell you
    D/F# D/C G/B G/A
    In a way that you could understand
    C G/B Em
    All I did was try and help you
    C
    Then my whole world
    B7 C
    Blew up in my hands
    Am
    My whole world
    B7 C
    Blew up in my hands

    G D F C
    Cm G Am D
    G D F #11
    I don't know who you think you are
    C Cm
    To leave me alone here in the dark
    G
    You think I'm not enough
    Am D
    You think that you're so tough
    I gave you everything I could
    I tried to be the man I should
    But it was not enough
    It's time to call your bluff
    I C Em I F #11 C I F #11 C I B7 I
    And it's a long, long, long way home from (out of?) here
    I Em7 Em/D I A7/C#* I Cmaj7 G/B I Am D I
    You can watch me wave in your rear-view mirror
    They’ve got a name for people like you
    I won't waste my breath trying to get through
    I've never had any luck
    I've finally had enough
    I C Em I F #11 C I F #11 C I B7 I
    And it's a long, long, long way home from here
    I Em7 Em/D I A7/C#* I Cmaj7 G/B I Am D I
    You can watch me wave in your rear-view mirror
    I don't know who you think you are
    To leave me alone here in the dark
    You think I'm not enough
    You think that you're so tough

    C
    four dark hours crept
    C
    four dark hours crept
    Am
    until dawn arrived
    F
    until dawn arrived
    G
    The air
    F
    so thin
    Em
    The air
    F
    so thin
    the valley was swept
    the valley was swept
    with a blue broom
    with a blue broom
    to the west
    there are sunsets
    to the west
    there are sunsets
    Who whisper goodbye
    E F
    I never really knew you
    E F
    I never really knew
    C
    Nothing at all
    G/B
    Nothing at all
    E
    We hide parts of ourselves from
    F Am Em
    everyone we love
    F Am G
    everyone we love
    F
    And we pretend
    On the morning you left
    On the morning you left
    I watched a crow fly
    I watched a crow fly
    The clouds
    hung in the sky
    The clouds
    hung in the sky

  • I'm Alive For The First Time (Song Sketch)
    E G A E
    D/E A/E E
    E
    I feel the vibrations
    G
    of every living thing
    A
    I finally I understand it all
    E
    I didn't understand a thing
    I taste the music in my mouth
    Like cotton candy purple clouds
    A trillion atoms move about
    I can really dig them now
    D/E A/E
    I'm alive
    E
    For the first time
    There is no future, is no past
    I'm moving through the looking glass
    It all makes sense and sings to me
    I'm the one that I should be
    I can fly above the trees
    Everything my mind can see
    Is perfect and is meant to be
    It's all one great big groovy scene
    I'm alive
    For the first time
    G A
    I'm turning on and dropping out and tuning in, take a trip with me
    G B D E
    Everybody follow, I'll show just how easy it can be
    E G A E
    I connect to everything
    The colors all begin to sing
    Yellow sings a happy song
    Red and Blue both sing along
    I am never coming down
    The crystals shining in the sound
    I watch them shatter on the ground
    I am lost and I am found
    I'm alive
    For the first time

    3 in the morning
    G Em
    Right lane all alone
    Am7 C
    Closing in on New Orleans
    G Em
    O.Z. comin' in scratchy, on the radio

    But it sure does feel like home
    Am7 D
    Oh New Orleans
    G B7 (e7)
    I'm comin' home
    French Quarter to the garden district
    The air so thick and sweet
    You can always hear off in the distance
    The rhythm of that 2nd line beat
    There ain't no place nowhere like it
    And there will never be
    Oh New Orleans
    I'm comin' home
    Em
    Living here seems like how life should be
    B7
    Music, good food and revelry

    Preservation Hall, Deanie's and D.B.A.
    Sun comin' up across the Mississippi
    they're scrubbing down the streets
    Getting ready for another night
    In The Big Easy
    There ain't no place nowhere like it
    And there will never be

    G Bbm Am
    D C G/B G
    Hold my hand, it's gonna be alright
    I am here, I'll get you through the night
    I can see you holding back the tears
    In the morning, we'll get you out of here
    You don't need to talk about it now
    It will all work out, no need worry how
    You do your best, that's all that you can do
    You should get some rest, I could use some too
    A
    We all need
    A
    Sometimes we all need
    G D
    A helping hand
    A
    Don't be ashamed
    A
    Don't be ashamed
    G D
    To ask, my friend
    A
    I understand
    G Bbm Am
    G Bbm Am
    I have been where you find yourself now
    Deep in a hole, you can't climb your way out
    The days are hard, the nights are harder still
    An emptiness that seems impossible to fill
    You can't give up you have to keep your faith
    'cause someday someone will need to hear you say
    We all need
    Sometimes we all need
    A helping hand
    Don't be ashamed
    Don't be ashamed
    To ask, my friend
    We all need
    Sometimes we all need
    A helping hand
    Don't be ashamed
    Don't be ashamed
    To ask, my friend
    I understand

  • The Little Things (Song Sketch)
    I feel like a Worn out shoe
    Walking down the old road to
    Our house all boarded up
    Trip over a broken cup
    The one her sweet lips used to touch
    Never thought that it would mean that much
    But It's the little things that slip right through
    it's the little things that stick to you
    Touch me, hold me squeeze me tight
    Tell me it will all be alright
    Like back when we were young
    We planned our lives around having fun
    Like New Orleans, that's what I need
    Wild Mag's on Frenchman street
    It's the little things that slip right through
    it's the little things that stick to you
    Can I get, just one more chance
    I think I'll get it right
    Take me for what I am
    I won't put up a fight
    Green light, Red Light Stop the car
    I'll show you just who I are
    Sweet Magnolias on Ursaline
    Walk me in a Second LIne
    I used to think that love was heaven sent
    But you can't use it to pay the rent
    It's the little things that slip right through
    it's the little things that stick to you
    Can I get, just one more chance
    I think I'll get it right
    Take me for what I am
    I won't put up a fight
    So I pawned my wedding ring
    I'm on the street with a new song to sing
    It's the little things that slip right through
    it's the little things that stick to you
