All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places, worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression, no expression

Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow

No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad

The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

C#7
[Verse]
F#m Bm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
E Amaj7
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
Dmaj7 G#m7b5
But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong,
C#sus4 C#
And I grew strong; and I learned how to get along.
F#m Bm
But now you're back, from outer space,
E Amaj7
I just walked in, to find you here, with that sad look upon your face.
Dmaj7
I should have changed that stupid lock,
G#m7b5
I should have made you leave your key,
C#sus4 C#
If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me.
[Chorus]
F#m Bm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
E Amaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
Dmaj7 G#m7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
C#sus4 C#
Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
F#m Bm
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
E Amaj7
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
Dmaj7 G#m7b5
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,
C#sus4 C# F#m
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur-vive…

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.
E Amaj7
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
Dmaj7 G#m7b5
And I spent oh, so many nights, just feeling sorry for myself,
C#sus4 C#7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
F#m Bm
And you see me; somebody new,
E Amaj7
I'm not that chained up little person, still in love with you.
Dmaj7 G#m7b5
And so you felt like dropping in and just ex-pect me to be free,
C#sus4 C#
Well, now I'm saving all my loving, for some-one who's loving me.
[Chorus]

Go on now, go; walk out the door;

Rare Old Mountain Dew
[Verse 1]
A D A E
Where the grasses grow, And the waters flow, In a free and easy way
A D A E A
But give me enough, Of the rare ol' stuff, That's made near Galway Bay
A A A F#m
Come goughers all, From Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim too
A D A E A
And we'll give 'em the slip,And we'll take a sip, Of the rare ol mountain dew

There's a neat little still At the foot of the hill
A D
Where the smoke curls up to the sky
A D
By the whiff and the smell, You can plainly tell
A E A
That there's poteen brewin' nearby
A A A D
For it fills the air, With a perfume rare, And betwixt both me and you
A D A E A
And it's home we go, With a pint or bowl, Or a bucket full a mountain dew
[Chorus]
A D A E
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-ey-day

[Verse 3]
A A A D
Now learned men, Who use the pen, Have written your praises high
A D A E A
Of the rare poteen, From Ireland green, That's made from wheat and rye
A A A D
So, Away with yer pills, It'll cure all ills, Be ya, Pagan, Christian or Jew
A D A E A
So take off yer coat, And grease yer throat, With a bucketfull of mountain dew

So long ago, I don't remember when
C#7 F#m A/E
That's when they say I lost my only friend
D A
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
C#7 F#m A/E
As I listened through the cemetery trees
[Interlude]
D A C#7 F#m A/E
[Verse 2]
D A
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
C#7 F#m A/E
The long broken arm of human law

Now it always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face
C#7 F#m A/E
I wondered how she hung around this place

She said it's cold
A
It feels like Independence Day
C#7 F#m A/E
And I can't break away from this parade
D
But there's got to be an opening
A
Somewhere here in front of me
C#7 F#m A/E
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
D
And I seen the sun up ahead
A
At the county line bridge
C#7 F#m A/E
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
D
We'll run until she's out of breath
A
She ran until there's nothin' left
C#7 F#m A/E
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge

Well this place is old
A
It feels just like a beat up truck
C#7 F#m A/E
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
D
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
A
This place is always such a mess
C#7 F#m A/E
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
D A
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
C#7 F#m A/E
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
D A
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
C#7 F#m A/E
I think her death it must be killin' me
[Pre-Chorus]
