Nashville Sound 04:04

Verse 1 Looking for sidestreets and a place to dance Head to the bluebird and take a chance I look in the blinding Lights that I’m finding for a little while Verse 2 Sharpen my ears for the special sound Feel the vibrations coming out of the ground Rock like a Showboat down at the blue note for a little while Chorus I know it’s all going to come around I know it’s all in that Nashville riff sound do you think you found. Verse 3 Down to the alley where I get my news Watching the Reverend while he sings the blues Stings like a slingshot Stuck in the blind spot for a little while Chorus I know it’s all going to come around I know it’s all in that Nashville sound do you think you found. Break Drink all night won’t remember anyway this old town would just as soon forget my name Listen hard echo of another day What’s it worth to you? What’s it worth to you? Verse 4 Back in the hotel there’s a shitty bar American beauty that’s where you are Brighter than the sun light You late at the dark night for a little while Chorus x2 I know it’s all going to come around I know it’s all in that Nashville sound do you think you found.

I just Might 04:39

Verse 1 Parking lot tangle, dead-eyed and ready to kill Red light, good night, a bug on the Cadillac grill You told me to leave and “get outta my sight” If you are gonna put it that way, baby i just might Verse 2 Roadhouse two-step, kicking our boots in the dust One-eyed whiskey got my heart all covered in rust The guy you are holding, is gonna be alright If you ask me to fight him, baby I just might Chorus I’m hitting the road Unhitching my load I’m leaving it all behind I’m running on fumes Feeling out of tune With you tonight If you want a ride Baby I Just Might Solo 1 Chorus I’m hitting the road Unhitching my load I’m leaving it all behind I’m running on fumes Feeling out of tune With you tonight If you want a ride Baby I Just Might Break 6-pack of honesty under my belt And I wanted to tell you just how I felt But it came out all wrong Now I got a big broken heart A busted windshield on my car And a stupid country song. To sing at night Verse 3 I got a burned out headlight, driving through the desert at night I’m on a timeline feeling fine, running away from a fight If you said that you loved me, you were just being nice If you asked me to stay, baby I just might Chorus I’m hitting the road Unhitching my load I’m leaving it all behind I’m running on fumes Feeling out of tune With you tonight If you want a ride Baby I Just Might If you want a ride Baby I Just Might

Verse 1: I went to the deep south Looking for you Went to the heartland to find the truth I swam in the river Dig in the land I climbed the mountain I sifted the sand CHORUS: Cuz there’s no straight lines when you’re looking for love x 4 Riff x 4 Groove in Verse 2: I went to the Dr To get a pill I went to the lawyer To write me a will I went to the teacher To get it right I went to the preacher To start up a fight CHORUS: Cuz there’s no straight lines when you’re looking for love x 4 Riff x 4 Groove up to lead into Ben's solo half measure of hits on toms/snare Ben Solo!! Big stop and back to Groove in Verse 3: My baby took me To the promised land I followed her footsteps Holding her hand She made me a promise Down at the pier Then she stepped in the water And she disappeared CHORUS: Cuz there’s no straight lines when you’re looking for love x 4

Verse 1 hi-hat and kick start Over on broadway The lids come down On another day In this crazy town She leaves the street And the crushing block For a fire escape and a tightrope walk. Verse 2 cross-stick & kick It's not fair she says To anyone who will listen I'll burn this place down Before I ever come back But fair is fair And hearts will break Anyone can get hung For one mistake Prechorus snare instead of cross-stick I can hear that whistle blowing Chorus Don't wait up I'm not coming home This dirty city's got A mind of its own I'm gonna catch drums stop Another kind of train Verse 3 Stop burning yourself With the same old flame It's not how it hurts you But how it hurts your good name Chasing pearls of any size Making love look Like a compromise Verse 4 These tracks don't go Where you think they go They go inside Dark and low Shining lights on awful scars Earned in honky tonks And roadside bars Prechorus I can hear that whistle blowing. (Hold extra!) Chorus Don't wait up I'm not coming home This dirty city's got A mind of its own I'm gonna catch drums stop Another kind of train Repeated Bridge: hits here Don't wait I'm gone Don't wait I'm gone Verse 5 Quiet right down After hours The drunks try to dance The cops give everyone A second chance All the fools Will chase their tails while the wise men Ride the bitter rails Prechorus: I can hear that whistle blowing (hold extra and build) Chorus: Don't wait up I'm not coming home This dirty city's got A mind of its own I'm gonna catch drums stop Another kind of train keyboard solo Outtro: I'm at the stationI can see that Train whistle is blowing don't wait in vain hits here

Intro: riff repeat 4x Verse 1: He's the only son An apple of an eye A first born element Handsomely permanent Out in the world Tuned like an instrument Turned on like a radio Ripple like an undertow Chorus: It takes a big heart to fight reality It takes a big love to see what you want to see Intro: riff repeat 3x Verse 2: There's a grain of sand Growing in the flowers It's got a taste for blood It'll while away the hours And the hardest try Or the sweetest ride Or the deepest hope Can't push back the tide Chorus: It takes a big heart to fall from the balcony It takes a big love to fight off gravity Break: riff riff riff Intro: riff x4 Bridge: I'm not afraid I'm not alone I'm on my way Not coming home He's not afraid He's not alone He's gone away but still at home Intro: riff 2x Verse 3: There's a beautiful shell Where he used to be In the tidal flat Of a peaceful sea And I see him now Like he always was With his beautiful mind And his (smile?), well-loved (smile) Chorus: It takes a big heart to let go of all of this It takes a big love to give a final kiss It takes a big heart to cry unselfishly It takes a big love to say what you mean to me Intro: riff repeat 3x

Verse 1 The dark clouds taking shape The lightning’s crashing down The winds are picking up Gonna spin my world around Verse 2 Your spirit can’t be tamed Your feet don’t touch the ground I should hide away But I’m gonna chase you down Pre-chorus 1 I should close the windows tight But I’m drawn outside Chorus Peppered by the rain I must be insane I need to feel the wind lift me up Darkness in the skies Makes me feel alive I just can’t deny you’re the one I want Hey baby I’m a storm chaser Verse 3 the wind begins to howl the truth is in the sky I’m in your funnel cloud helpless like a kite Verse 4 There’s no turning back the ground begins to shake even with the warning bells you’re worth the heartbreak Pre-chorus 2 I should close the windows tight But I’m drawn outside Chorus Peppered by the rain I must be insane I need to feel the wind lift me up Darkness in the skies Makes me feel alive I just can’t deny you’re the one I want Hey baby I’m a storm chaser Bridge - 1/2 time You're the wind and the rain You're my thrill, you're my pain Chorus Peppered by the rain I must be insane I need to feel the wind lift me up Darkness in the skies Makes me feel alive I just can’t deny you’re the one I want Hey baby Hey baby Hey baby I’m a storm chaser

Verse 1: As you close the door the lights go down on me And I've come to know I can't give you what you need Pre-Chorus: I wish that I had wished you luck but I'm not good enough Chorus: All those times I tried They've got to be worth something Please don't walk away And leave me here with nothing nothing at all Verse 2: I keep holding out, I've got something up my sleeve but my heart can find the trick to stop you leaving Pre-Chorus: I wish that I could wish you luck but I'm not strong enough Chorus: All those times I tried They've got to be worth something Please don't walk away And leave me here with nothing nothing at all Solo over Chorus: Repeat 1x Bridge: Still the scent of you it lingers in my room Sometimes I lie to myself and say you'll be home soon Chorus: All those times I tried They've got to be worth something Please don't walk away And leave me here with nothing nothing at all Intro: Repeat 3x quiet part Verse 3: As the hands goes 'round the clock I think of you And I'm hoping that you'll be thinking 'bout me too Pre-Chorus: But I know you're not coming back, now I finally realize that Chorus: All those times I tried They really were worth giving All those years we had They really were worth living And I'm ok it was nothing at all And I'm ok it was nothing at all It was nothing at all, it was nothing at all It was nothing at all, it was nothing at all Repeat 2x

Verse 1 We had broken up for good just an hour before Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh Now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing 'cross the floor Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh And then the band slowed the tempo when the music took you down Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh It was the same old song with the melancholy sound Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh Chorus They don't write 'em like that anymore They just don't write 'em like that anymore Verse 2: We been living together for a million years Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh But now it feels so strange out in the atmospheres Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh And then the DJ plays a song I used to know Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing so slow Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh Chorus They don't write 'em like that anymore They don't write 'em like that anymore Intro x 2 Verse 3 Now I wind up staring at an empty glass Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh Cause it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh Chorus 3x and fade

Intro Lick in Your highwire circus friends have got the best man Licking his hands in the back of a limousine His feet won’t touch the ground till he comes down Empty as a pocket and used like a cash machine Chorus x2 If you’re going to let me down You better not take my heart Ya we both know where this ends Let me go but don’t you let me down Verse 2 The first time I touched the wire was like hurricane Blowing my eyes shake my nerves like a tambourine The next time I come around I got it locked down Push that button like the seed in a tangerine Prechorus Chorus If you’re going to let me down You better not take my heart Ya we both know where this ends Let me go but don’t you let me down Solo Intro Lick in Verse 3 The dead men shake their bones on the dance floor Yelling fire while the cops kick in the back door The bankers got his red hands in your pocket But you don’t care about the money anymore. Chorus If you’re going to let me down You better not break take my heart Ya we both know where this ends Let me go but don’t you let me down

Bottles 03:52

Verse 1 Fills dreams into bottles lined up on the wall Loses her way then she smashes them all Tries to pick up the pieces from his place on the couch He wants to console her but he opens his mouth She don’t know He doesn’t know Verse 2 She looks for the hangman the letters are bare She searches for comfort finds enmity there His life is a prison. And she shares the cell The key is long taken And thrown in the well She don’t know He doesn’t know The bottle is broken It will not hold wine Words unspoken ... Lost in time BREAK Spring warms our bodies Summer’s heat warms our bones Falling down half together Winter’s white all alone Verse 3 I’ve closed all the shutters And drawn all the blinds But the still burns At the back of my mind I’m told it’s for better But it’s feels like for worse Inside a bottle My whole universe I don’t know I don’t know The bottle is broken It will not hold wine Words unspoken ... lost in time V2 optional They piece the bottle together Held by treacle and twine The cracks won’t be mended It will not hold wine His love’s unrequited Her pride bruised and worn Once there was passion And now only scorn V3 Option It’s been awhile since you left me Not much has changed I’m still so lonely but you’ve gone away I’m told it’s for better But it feels like for worse The pain that I’m feelings Gone from anchor to curse
