[Verse 1]
F#m A
All around me are familiar faces
E B
Worn out places, worn out faces
F#m A
Bright and early for their daily races
E B
Going nowhere, going nowhere
F#m A
Their tears are filling up their glasses
E B
No expression, no expression
F#m A
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
E B
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
[Chorus]
F#m B F#m
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
B F#m
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take

When people run in circles, it's a very, very

F#m A
Children waiting for the day they feel good
E B
Happy birthday, happy birthday

Made to feel the way that every child should
E B
Sit and listen, sit and listen
F#m A
Went to school, and I was very nervous

No one knew me, no one knew me

Hello, teacher, tell me what's my lesson
E B
Look right through me, look right through me
[Chorus]
F#m B F#m
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

[Verse]
C#m F#m
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
B Emaj7
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
Amaj7 D#m7b5
But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong,
G#sus4 G#
And I grew strong; and I learned how to get along.
C#m F#m
But now you're back, from outer space,
B Emaj7
I just walked in, to find you here, with that sad look upon your face.
Amaj7
I should have changed that stupid lock,
D#m7b5
I should have made you leave your key,
G#sus4 G#
If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me.
[Chorus]
C#m F#m
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
B Emaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
Amaj7 D#m7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
G#sus4 G#
Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
C#m F#m
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
B Emaj7
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
Amaj7 D#m7b5
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.

Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
Amaj7 D#m7b5
And I spent oh, so many nights, just feeling sorry for myself,
G#sus4 G#7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
C#m F#m
And you see me; somebody new,
B Emaj7
I'm not that chained up little person, still in love with you.
Amaj7 D#m7b5
And so you felt like dropping in and just ex-pect me to be free,
G#sus4 G#
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]
E A E B
Where the grasses grow, And the waters flow, In a free and easy way
E A E B E
But give me enough, Of the rare ol' stuff, That's made near Galway Bay
E E E C#m
Come goughers all, From Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim too
E A E B E
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
E A
Where the smoke curls up to the sky
E A
By the whiff and the smell, You can plainly tell
E B E
That there's poteen brewin' nearby
E E E A
For it fills the air, With a perfume rare, And betwixt both me and you
E A E B E
And it's home we go, With a pint or bowl, Or a bucket full a mountain dew
[Chorus]

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

So long ago, I don't remember when
G#7 C#m E/B
That's when they say I lost my only friend
A E
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
G#7 C#m E/B
As I listened through the cemetery trees
[Interlude]
A E G#7 C#m E/B
[Verse 2]
A E
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
G#7 C#m E/B
The long broken arm of human law
A E
Now it always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face
G#7 C#m E/B
I wondered how she hung around this place
[Pre-Chorus]

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

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