Nickel Creek foi um trio de música norte-americano formado no Condado de San Diego, Califórnia, Estados Unidos em 1989. Apesar das raízes do grupo virem do bluegrass e americana, o trio descreve-se como "acústico progressivo". Nickel Creek era formado por três membros, Chris Thile no bandolim, Sara Watkins no violino e o irmão dela, Sean Watkins nas guitarra e violões. O pai de Chris, Scott Thile tocou baixo com o grupo até 2000, seguido de Byron House e Derek Jones. Mark Schatz tocou baixo regularmente com o grupo desde 2003.

SPEAK
Intro A2E/G#G6D/F#EsusEEsusE (x2)
Verse A2E/G#G6D/F#A2E/G#G6D/F# Well I sat down next to a photograph, tried my best almost made her laugh A2D/F#BsusA2D/F#G6G/BCmaj7 She was my toughest crowd. There in the way was a mountain up in the clouds
A2E/G#G6D/F#A2E/G#G6D/F# Well I can’t sleep and I’m not in love, and I can’t speak without messing up A2F#m7BsusA2D/F#G6G/B Eyes tell of what’s behind. Her’s showed the way to a long and a lonely C2Em7DC2Em7D2D climb. But through failure I’ll proceed. She’ll see how far I’ve come BsusCmaj7Cmaj7/AC/ED/F#E/G# And it’s you and me in the sun and sea. I’ll offer my heart to Yours BsusCmaj7Cmaj7/AC/ED/F#G6Cmaj7Bsus It seems to me, no mystery, it isn’t so I’ll try hard to speak
Verse2 A2E/G#G6D/F#A2E/G#G6D/F# Well I sat down next to a living hell, tried my best until I struck out A2F#mBsusA2D/F#G6G/BC2 Movement is not mine, I stood in the way, pretending that I was the vine Em7DC2Em7D2D But no failure would proceed, from a mouth that drinks its wine BsusCmaj7Cmaj7/AC/ED/F#E/G# And it’s not me, not my sanctity, these aren’t my words to you BsusCmaj7Cmaj7/AC/ED/F#G6Cmaj7Bsus It’s all clear when its not here, so clear, so I’ll try not to speak
Em7D(add9) There's a kind of emptiness that can fill you. Em7D(add9) There's a kind of hunger that can eat you up. Em7D(add9) There's a cold and darker side of the moonlight. AD(add9) There's a lonely side of love.
G(add9)A With you here, baby I am strong, D(add9) No sign of weakness. G(add9)ADA(add9)AA(add9) AA(add9) AA(add9)A With you gone, baby I am hanging by a thread.
Em7D(add9) There's a certain kind of pain that can numb you. Em7D(add9) There's a type of freedom that can tie you down. Em7D(add9) Sometimes the unexplained can be found. AD And sometimes silence is the only sound.
G(add9)A With you here, baby I am strong, D No sign of weakness. G(add9)ADA(add9)AA(add9) A With you gone, baby I am hanging by a thread.
G(add9)A With you here, baby I am strong, D No sign of weakness. G(add9)AD With you gone, baby I am hanging by a thread.

GREEN AND GRAY
AC#m I'm in a room full of people all hanging on one person's breath. GBm We would all vote him most likely to be loved to death, AC#m And I hope he still wants it, but it might remind him of when GA 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
ABDF#mDE Green is the color that everyone sees all around me ABDF#mEA Gray is the color I see around her, but she's just a blur DC#mBmA The more the crowd cheers the less I can hear F#mC# And they don't really care what I play DC#mBmEA 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.

Seven Wonders crowed the man, knowing six are gone,

how the great illusion lingers on DCFCA
He cant enfold, the sun or moon or wind within his hand but count the times he'll shout the great i am
With all the while, a pontiff smile veiling his disgrace at never owning more than second place
Seven wonders crowed the man 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. EC#m "I have just returned from the salt, salt sea. DEF#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): FEmAmCFEmAmC FEmAmCFEmAm -
Verse1: AmEmAmEmDm Blue Water, Blue eyes color me. AmEmAmEmAm 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) DmEmFG Ain't that what you want them to know? EmAmGD3F All they get of you is what they get out of the show. EFDmE 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) FEmAmC Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing. FEmAm 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 BmDAEm Lonely the life that once I led. BmDA Strange the paths on which we tred DGA Led me to you, unlikely but true. EmABmA 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.
