H[A]ello I sa[D]w you I k[A]now you I kn[D]ew you

I th[A]ink I can re[D]member your na[A]me...na[D]me

[A] [D] [A] [D] H[A]ello I'm so[D]rry I lo[A]st mys[D]elf

I th[A]ink I tho[D]ught you were so[A]meone els[D]e

S[E]hould we t[G]alk about the wea[D]ther?[BaddE]

S[E]hould we t[G]alk about the gov[D]ernment?[B]

{break: B / / / B / / / E / / / E7 / / /

the melody[B] on the [B]break is[E]n't too [D/Dsus4]hard to pick out. The notes

are real close to the chords - often in them. I think its weird

that Pete didn't play them on the acoustic version.}

Hello my friend are you visible today?

And no one ever knew that it could be so strange...strange

Hello I'm sorry I lost myself

I think I thought you were someone else

Get Up

======

[A] Sleep delays my li[D]fe

Where does the time go[A]...go

I don't kn[D]ow

Sleep sleep sleepy hea[A]d

Wake it u[D]p...up

You've got all your li[A]fe

Way up ahe[D]ad

D[E]reams t[B]hey co[C]mplic[G]ate my li[A]fe

D[E]reams t[B]hey co[C]mplim[G]ent my li[Bb]fe

I've seen you laying pined

Life is rough...rough

I've seen you laying down...down

With the loving kind

I know life is hard...hard

Well now

Where to turn?

This time there's no escape

To dreamtime

You Are The Everything

======================

[G]Sometimes I feel like I can't even [D]sing

I'm very scared for this w[G]orld

I'm very scared for [D]me

Eviscerate your mem[G]ory

Here's a [G]scene

You're [D]in the back seat laying down

The [G]windows wrap around you

The [D]sound of the travel and the engine

[C]All you hear is [G]time stand still in[C] travel

You feel such peace and ab[G]solue

The stillness still that do[C]esn't end

But slowly drifts i[G]nto sleep

The st[D]ars are the greatest thing you've ever seen

And t[D]hey're there for you

For y[D]ou alone you are the everythi[G]ng

I thi[G]nk about this worl[D]d a lot and I cry

And I'[G]ve seen the films and the [D]eyes

But I'm in this ki[G]tchen

Everything is be[D]autiful

And she is so be[G]autiful

She is so young and [D]old

I look at her and [C]I see the beauty

Of the l[G]ight of music

The vo[C]ice is talking somewhere in the ho[G]use

Late spring and you're dri[C]fting off to sleep

With your te[D]eth in your mouth

[D]You are here with me

[D]You have been here and you are eve[Am]rything

Stand

=====

St[E]and in the p[A]lace where you li[B]ve

N[A]ow fa[A/G#]ce No[E]rth

T[E]hink about di[A]rection

Wonder wh[F#]y you have[B]n't[A] befo[E]re

Now st[E]and in the pl[A]ace where you we[B]re

N[A]ow [A/G#]face W[E]est

T[E]hink about the pla[A]ce where you live

W[F#]onder why you ha[B]ven[A]'t b[E]efore

I[E]f you are conf[A]used che[C#]ck with t[C]he su[B]n

C[E]arry a co[A]mpass to h[G]elp you a[A]lo[B]ng

Your f[E]eet are go[A]ing to b[C#]e on t[C]he g[B]round

Your h[E]ead is the[A]re to mo[G]ve you[G] a[A]ro[B]und

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your head is there to move you around

If wishes were trees the trees would be falling

Listen to reason

The reason is calling

{at the end of this song, it goes up a key, so the chords are:

F# B C# .....

then they go up again to:

G# C# D# .....

however, the song ends on:

so ST[E]AND!

World Leader Pretend

====================

{Between the Em and Bm chords play this ----

         (D) -0-2-4-2-0-                  }

I[D] sit at my ta[G]ble a[C]nd wage war on mys[D]elf

I[D]t se[G]ems like it's al[C]l...it's all for no[D]thing

I[D] know the ba[G]rricades, [C]and

I know the mor[D]tar in the wal[D]l breaks

I rec[G]ognize the weapons,[C] I used them well[D]

[Em] [Bm] T[Em]his is my mistake. L[Bm]et me make it good

I[Em] raised the wall, and I[Bm] will be the one to knock it d[G]own[A]

I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses

I proclaim that claims are left unstated,

I demand a rematch

I decree a stalemate

I divine my deeper motives

I recognize the weapons

I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

R[Am]each out for m[C]e and hold [Am]me tight. Hold that me[C]mory

Let [Am]my machine ta[C]lk to me. L[Am]et my machine t[A]alk to me[G]

This is my world

And I am the world leader pretend

This is my life

And this is my time

I have been given the freedom

To do as I see fit

It's high time I've razed the walls

That I've constructed

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony

You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls

And I'm the only one

I will be the one to knock it down

Orange Crush

============

Orange Crush goes :

| Em | Em | G | D | in the verses

| E | B | F# | B | in the chorus

Follow me don't follow me

I've got my spine I've got my orange crush

Collar me don't collar me

I've got my spine I've got my orange crush

We are agents of the free

I've had my fun and now its time to

Spread your conscience overseas

Coming in fast over me

Paid in full

Orange Crush

============

F[Em]ollow me don't follow me

I've g[G]ot my spine I've g[D]ot my orange crush

C[Em]ollar me don't collar me

I've g[G]ot my spine I've g[D]ot my orange crush

W[Em]e are agents o[G]f the free

I've ha[D]d my fun and now its time to

S[Em]pread your conscience overseas

C[G]oming in fast o[D]ver me

Paid in full

Hairshirt

=========

{This song repeats these 8 measures throughout the verses:

G / / / G / / / A7 / / / A7 / / / C / / / C / / / G / / / G / / /}

I am not the type of dog

That could keep you waiting

For no good reason

Run a carbon-black test on my jaw

And you will find it's all been said before

I[G] can [A7]swing my megaph[C]one and long arm the re[Am]st

It's ea[Am]sier and better

To just beat it from the che[C]st[C]

Of desire G

I could walk into this room

And the waves of conversation are enough

To knock you down in the undertow

So alone so alone in my life

Feed me banks of light

And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung

It's a beautiful life

And I can hang my hairshirt

Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest

Or bury it at sea

All my life I've searched for this

Here I am here I am in your life

It's a beautiful life

My life

It's a beautiful life

Your life

(Untitled) - Pieces printed in the 1988 fan club holiday card

=============================================================

[C]This world is big and so-awake

[G]I stayed up late to [C]hear your voice

[C]This light is here to keep you warm

This song is here to keep you s[G]trong

I made a list of things to say

But all I really want to say

All I really want to say is

Hold her and keep him strong

While I'm away from here

Hold her and keep her strong

While I'm away from here

I've seen the world and so-awake

And stay up late to hear me sing

Just hold her

I've seen the world and so-awake

And stay up late to hear me sing

Just hold him

Hold her and keep her strong

While I'm away from here

Hold him and keep him strong

While I'm away from here

       I've seen the world and so-awake
       And stay up late to hear me sing
       Just hold her
       I've seen the world and so-awake
       And stay up late to hear me sing
       Just hold him
       Hold her and keep her strong
       While I'm away from here
       Hold him and keep him strong
       While I'm away from here
