Well I sat down next to a photograph, tried my best almost made her laugh
A2 D/F# Bsus A2 D/F# G6 G/B Cmaj7
She was my toughest crowd. There in the way was a mountain up in the clouds
A2 E/G# G6 D/F# A2 E/G# G6 D/F#
Well I can’t sleep and I’m not in love, and I can’t speak without messing up
A2 F#m7 Bsus A2 D/F# G6 G/B

Bsus Cmaj7 Cmaj7/A C/E D/F# E/G#
And it’s you and me in the sun and sea. I’ll offer my heart to Yours
Bsus Cmaj7 Cmaj7/A C/E D/F# G6 Cmaj7 Bsus

Movement is not mine, I stood in the way, pretending that I was the vine
Em7 D C2 Em7 D2 D
But no failure would proceed, from a mouth that drinks its wine

And it’s not me, not my sanctity, these aren’t my words to you

GREEN AND GRAY
A C#m
I'm in a room full of people all hanging on one person's breath.
G Bm
We would all vote him most likely to be loved to death,
A C#m
And I hope he still wants it, but it might remind him of when
G A
He aimed for the bullýs eye and hit it nine times out of ten.
all of the verses are the same
so repeat this progression
Chorus
A B D F#m D E
Green is the color that everyone sees all around me
A B D F#m E A
Gray is the color I see around her, but she's just a blur
D C#m Bm A
The more the crowd cheers the less I can hear
F#m C#
And they don't really care what I play
D C#m Bm E A
Might be for her, but for now it's between green and gray
We paid and we cheered, now we're gone and to us that feels right.
But for him, every one of those evenings turns into a night
With another hotel room where he lays awake to pretend
that he's doing fine with his notebook and discman for friends.
He says "Green is the color everyone sees all around me.
Gray is the color I see around her, and she's just a blur."
Night after night what I hear, what I write fills the room and my head starts to sway.
It might be for her, but for now it's between green and gray.
I want you to love me, he whispers, unable to speak
And he wonders aloud why feelings so strong make the body so weak.
Then he awoke. Now he's scared to death somebody heard.
If it was you, and you know her, please don't say a word.

knowing six are gone
and how the great illusion lingers on
Seven wonders crowed the man
knowing six are gone
and how the great illusion lingers
while the sad confusion lingers
all the while illusion lingers on
House Carpenter
Traditional, Arr. Sara Watkins / Alison Krauss.
F#m
"Well met, well met, said an old true love.
"Well met, well met, said he.
E C#m
"I have just returned from the salt, salt sea.
D E F#m
"And it's all for the love of thee."
(The rest is all the same, with pauses and musical interludes. But this is the
chord Progression for the whole song.)
Come in, come in, my own true love,
And have a seat by me.
It's been three-fourths of a long, long year,
Since together, we have been.
"I can't come in and I can't sit down,
"For I've only a moment's time.
"They say you're married to a house carpenter,
"And your heart will never be mine.
"I could have married a King's daughter, fair,
"And she would have married me,
"But I have forsaken her crowns of gold,
"And it's all for the love of thee."
"Now you forsake your house carpenter,
"And go along with me.
"I'll take you where the grass grows green.
"On the banks of the deep blue sea."
Then she picked up a darlin' little babe,
And kisses, she gave it three.
Saying "Stay right here, my dalrin' little baby,
"And keep your pappa company."
They had not been on the ship two weeks,
I'm sure it was not three,
Till his true love began to weep and to mourn,
And she wept most bitterly.
Sayin': "Are you weepin' for my silver and my gold."
Sayin': "Are you weepin' for my store?
"Or are you weepin' for your house carpenter,
"Whose face you'll never see no more?"
"A curse, a curse to the sailor," she cried.
"A curse, a curse," she swore.
"You robbed me of my darlin' little babe,
"That I shall never see no more."
They had not been on the ship three weeks,
I'm sure it was not four,
When there came a leak in the bottom of the ship,
And sank them for to rise no more.
BEAUTY AND THE MESS
Intro (hook):
F Em Am C F Em Am C

Verse1:
Am Em Am Em Dm
Blue Water, Blue eyes color me.
Am Em Am Em Am
If any could come this close I'd let them see.
Get it out again, play em one more song.
It's all they really want and who's to say that's wrong.
(Chorus 1)
Dm Em F G
Ain't that what you want them to know?
Em Am G D3 F
All they get of you is what they get out of the show.
E F Dm E
The rest is mine I guess, the beauty and the mess, to hide.
F(hook 1x)
Verse:
I pull my self under and down I go again.
It's just a little bit harder letting them in.
Looking at the world through illusive eyes.
I hide in the spotlight, it's a great disguise.
(Chorus 2)
Ain't that what you want them to know?
All they, all they get of you is what they get out of the show.
The rest is mine I guess, the beauty and the mess, to hide.
Am
(Bridge, use hook chords)
F Em Am C
Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing.
F Em Am
But every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away.
Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing.
But every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away.
Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing.
But every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away.
(Chorus 3)
Ain't that what you want them to know?
All they, all they get of you is all they get of you is what they get out of the show.
The rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess.
Ain't that what you want them to know?
All they get of you is what they get out of the show.
The rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess,
The rest, the rest is mine I guess,
The beauty and the mess,
The rest, the rest is mine I guess,
I guess the beauty and the mess, To hide.
SABRA GIRL
Bm D A Em
Lonely the life that once I led.
Bm D A
Strange the paths on which we tred
D G A
Led me to you, unlikely but true.
Em A Bm A
Sabra girl, clouding my view.
Rainy the day the first time we met.
Deep was the talk and forever my debt.
It didn't seem wrong to sing a sad song.
Sabra girl, soon you'd be gone.
Early the morning and sad the goodbye.
With a wave of your hand and a smile of your eye.
So lately did meet, no sooner to part.
Sabra girl, homeward must start.
Rosy the lines that you wrote with your hand.
Reading between them to misunderstand,
I made the mistake you said not to make.
Reading your letters conviction did grow.
I thought it a chance and I knew I must go.
It's hard to believe I could be so naive.
Sabra girl, flattered but deceived.
Now you just told me that a friendship is all.
I'm forced to repair the breach in my wall.
Illusions and dreams as usual it seems.
Sabra girl, they have been my downfall.
Lonely the life and dismal the view.
Closed is the road that leads to you.
Since better can't be as friends we'll agree.
Sabra girl, time will cure me.

Chorus
Intro (isn't that wedding bell awesome)
Five years ago
you pressed your hand
into a brand new sidewalk
its well worn now
and though some tried
yours is the only print there
you might not have meant to but
its time you cant take it out
youre shy about what fortune lent you
is that what this is about?
Smile while you can
cause when they find
youre not amused, not really
they rob you blind
of what they gave
yes you gave them that power
you might not have meant to but
its time you cant take it back
you cry about where fame sent you
without a plan of attack
Five years ago
I warned you, dear
as a concerned admirer
you never new, you never heard
the veil was still in place
Thank god you hate to listen
cause I would not be here
lifting the veil to kiss you
next to a brand new sidewalk

GREEN AND GRAY
A C#m
I'm in a room full of people all hanging on one person's breath.
G Bm
We would all vote him most likely to be loved to death,
A C#m
And I hope he still wants it, but it might remind him of when
G A
He aimed for the bullýs eye and hit it nine times out of ten.
all of the verses are the same
so repeat this progression
Chorus
A B D F#m D E
Green is the color that everyone sees all around me
A B D F#m E A
Gray is the color I see around her, but she's just a blur
D C#m Bm A
The more the crowd cheers the less I can hear
F#m C#
And they don't really care what I play
D C#m Bm E A
Might be for her, but for now it's between green and gray
We paid and we cheered, now we're gone and to us that feels right.
But for him, every one of those evenings turns into a night
With another hotel room where he lays awake to pretend
that he's doing fine with his notebook and discman for friends.
He says "Green is the color everyone sees all around me.
Gray is the color I see around her, and she's just a blur."
Night after night what I hear, what I write fills the room and my head starts to sway.
It might be for her, but for now it's between green and gray.
I want you to love me, he whispers, unable to speak
And he wonders aloud why feelings so strong make the body so weak.
Then he awoke. Now he's scared to death somebody heard.
If it was you, and you know her, please don't say a word.

House Carpenter
Traditional, Arr. Sara Watkins / Alison Krauss.
F#m
"Well met, well met, said an old true love.
"Well met, well met, said he.
E C#m
"I have just returned from the salt, salt sea.
D E F#m
"And it's all for the love of thee."
(The rest is all the same, with pauses and musical interludes. But this is the
chord Progression for the whole song.)
Come in, come in, my own true love,
And have a seat by me.
It's been three-fourths of a long, long year,
Since together, we have been.
"I can't come in and I can't sit down,
"For I've only a moment's time.
"They say you're married to a house carpenter,
"And your heart will never be mine.
"I could have married a King's daughter, fair,
"And she would have married me,
"But I have forsaken her crowns of gold,
"And it's all for the love of thee."
"Now you forsake your house carpenter,
"And go along with me.
"I'll take you where the grass grows green.
"On the banks of the deep blue sea."
Then she picked up a darlin' little babe,
And kisses, she gave it three.
Saying "Stay right here, my dalrin' little baby,
"And keep your pappa company."
They had not been on the ship two weeks,
I'm sure it was not three,
Till his true love began to weep and to mourn,
And she wept most bitterly.
Sayin': "Are you weepin' for my silver and my gold."
Sayin': "Are you weepin' for my store?
"Or are you weepin' for your house carpenter,
"Whose face you'll never see no more?"
"A curse, a curse to the sailor," she cried.
"A curse, a curse," she swore.
"You robbed me of my darlin' little babe,
"That I shall never see no more."
They had not been on the ship three weeks,
I'm sure it was not four,
When there came a leak in the bottom of the ship,
And sank them for to rise no more.

F(hook 1x)
Verse:
I pull my self under and down I go again.
It's just a little bit harder letting them in.
Looking at the world through illusive eyes.
I hide in the spotlight, it's a great disguise.

All they, all they get of you is what they get out of the show.

But every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away.
Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing.
But every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away.
(Chorus 3)
Ain't that what you want them to know?
All they, all they get of you is all they get of you is what they get out of the show.
The rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess.
Ain't that what you want them to know?
All they get of you is what they get out of the show.
The rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess,
The rest, the rest is mine I guess,
The beauty and the mess,
The rest, the rest is mine I guess,
I guess the beauty and the mess, To hide.
SABRA GIRL
Bm D A Em
Lonely the life that once I led.
Bm D A
Strange the paths on which we tred
D G A
Led me to you, unlikely but true.
Em A Bm A
Sabra girl, clouding my view.
Rainy the day the first time we met.
Deep was the talk and forever my debt.
It didn't seem wrong to sing a sad song.
Sabra girl, soon you'd be gone.
Early the morning and sad the goodbye.
With a wave of your hand and a smile of your eye.
So lately did meet, no sooner to part.
Sabra girl, homeward must start.
Rosy the lines that you wrote with your hand.
Reading between them to misunderstand,
I made the mistake you said not to make.
Reading your letters conviction did grow.
I thought it a chance and I knew I must go.
It's hard to believe I could be so naive.
Sabra girl, flattered but deceived.
Now you just told me that a friendship is all.
I'm forced to repair the breach in my wall.
Illusions and dreams as usual it seems.
Sabra girl, they have been my downfall.
Lonely the life and dismal the view.
Closed is the road that leads to you.
Since better can't be as friends we'll agree.
Sabra girl, time will cure me.

Hey what did I do? I've spoken too soon
Listen to this tune Forget the words
Wait until someday 'Cause when I know what to say
I'll say it in the best way you've ever heard

Young and with no clue I still wanna love you
Give credit where it's due I've got good taste
It's not like I wanna get married I never asked you to kiss me
Just don't want you to be sorry you didn't try

Chorus
Intro (isn't that wedding bell awesome)
Five years ago
you pressed your hand
into a brand new sidewalk
its well worn now
and though some tried
yours is the only print there
you might not have meant to but
its time you cant take it out
youre shy about what fortune lent you
is that what this is about?
Smile while you can
cause when they find
youre not amused, not really
they rob you blind
of what they gave
yes you gave them that power
you might not have meant to but
its time you cant take it back
you cry about where fame sent you
without a plan of attack
Five years ago
I warned you, dear
as a concerned admirer
you never new, you never heard
the veil was still in place
Thank god you hate to listen
cause I would not be here
lifting the veil to kiss you
next to a brand new sidewalk
