        The Black Forming on the Grey
Am-G
Dripping words fall from,
The vacant eyed madman,
He speaks the language,
Few can understand


(Chorus)
F G Am
What more can I say,
You think everything’s okay,
And I don’t want to feel this way,
The black forming on the grey.

Am-G-Am
Take these letters that I wrote you,
Take these lines that I have wronged,
Take the ideas falling from shadow,
I know where I belong.
(Chorus)

Am-G-Am
Sad eyes reaching beyond the sea,
Calling me to their home,
Breaking waves crash over me,
Drowning empty in the soul.
(Chorus)
          
           I Mean What I Say
Am G Am G Am G C(wb) Am
I Mean What I Say,
Though I don't sound logical,
I Mean What I Say,
I love you that way,
I Mean What I Say,
Our loves theological,
I Mean What I Say,
I don't walk away.

(chorus)Pc  G A F G
I don't know what tomorrow will bring,
All I know is this endless ring,
You and I together we'll be,
Always and forever,
      F        Em
Always you and me.

Am G Am G Am G C(wb) Am
I Mean What I Say,
When you ask me the question,
Will you love me forever,
Or just for today?
I Mean What I Say,
When I answer you honestly,
I Mean What I Say,
that's not far enough away.

(chorus distortion)Pc  G A F G
I don't know what tomorrow will bring,
All I know is this endless ring,
You and I together we'll be,
Always and forever,
      F        Em
Always you and me.

Am G Am G Am G C(wb) Am
I Mean What I Say,
When I promise you tomorrow,
I Mean What I Say,
Everything will be okay,
I Mean What I Say,
There'll be no more sorrow,
I Mean What I Say,
Together we'll find a way.

(chorus distortion)Pc  G A F G
I don't know what tomorrow will bring,
All I know is this endless ring,
You and I together we'll be,
Always and forever,
      F        Em
Always you and me.

Am G Am G Am G C(wb) Am
I Mean What I Say,
When I say that I love you,
I Mean that I Say,
I will never go away,
I Mean What I Say,
Tomorrow will be beautiful,
But not as beautiful,
as you are today.


           Inconsistencies

D5                 F       C                           G
Found my way through the ice cube desert,
Swimming through the searing sea,
You see me as you want to see me,
D5            C             G      D5
But my words are never heard.

D5                 F       C                           G
I found you at the end of an endless road,
Standing under the colorless rainbow,
Gave you a kiss on your ruby lips,
D5            C             G      D5
Then slapped you in the face.

(Chorus)
D         C       G    D
Be my heavenly devil,
Take me where you will,
Pretend you understand me,
But words are so hard to understand.


               Slap Me Down 2nd

 Am G F Em
Slap me down as you always do,
Don’t let me up,
Because I’m through with you,
It started off nice,
I thought it was love,
Then it got bad ,
And the going got tough.

(chorus)
Am C G Am
Slap me down,
Slap me down,
Slap me down,
Slap me down,

Am G F Em
Slap me down as you always do,
Don’t let me up,
Because I’m hating you.
(Chorus)

Am G F Em
Slap me down as you always do,
Don’t let me up,
Because I don’t love you.
(Chorus)

Am G F Em
Slap me down as you always do,
Don’t let me up,
Because I’m leaving you.
(Chorus x3)


            Time Will Heal Our Wounds  1st
  Bm 
Broken spirits lie,                 A
Under the feet of disarmed pride,
Bm
Losing everything,           A
Not even seeing reasons why.
G                    A            Bm
Things will never be the same,
G        A            Bm
No one left to blame,
D                 A
My body burning,
G   A     Bm
On the flame,
G                    A            Bm
Time Will Heal Our Wounds.

(Chorus)
D       A      G
Please hold me,
D       A      G
Oh can’t you see,
D                             A     
A mother’s arms shouldn’t,
Bm A  G
Be empty,
G                    A            Bm
Time Will Heal Our Wounds.

Bm 
Choices were mine to make,      A
Never though you love they’d break,
Bm
The distance begins to grow,     A
I didn’t know my heart would ache.
G                    A            Bm
Things will never be the same,
G        A            Bm
No one left to blame,
D                 A
My body burning,
G   A     Bm
On the flame,
G                    A            Bm
Time Will Heal Our Wounds.

(Chorus)
D       A      G
Please hold me,
D       A      G
Oh can’t you see,
D                             A     
A mother’s arms shouldn’t,
Bm A  G
Be empty,
G                    A            Bm
Time Will Heal Our Wounds.
G                    A            Bm
Time Will Heal Our Wounds.
G                    A            Bm
Time Will Heal Our Wounds.
