1. Angels & Demons
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, first ever chord/tab or whatev. Great song. Enjoy.
Capo: 3
Em
You've got two eyes that took me by surprise when you walked by.
C
I think that I could die a thousand deaths and still turn out just fine,
Am Em
If I could just see your face every day of my life
Well I see you're sad but we're both sad, and I see you cry and it makes me mad.
C
I see the good in all your bad. Lets take this shitty life we have
Am Em D Dsus4
And throw it down the drain and run away. Just you & I
Em G Am C
Well love don’t tell us what to do.
Em G Am C
It only shows us what we need.
Em G Am C
And whenever I'm alone with you,
Em G Am C
I know I'm where I want to be
Em
You're the angel that gives me reason but I can't begin to count my demons.
C
Somehow you still keep me dreamin'. You let me know my life has meaning.
Am
I’ll find that boy that left you bleeding. Whispered "love" and you believed him.
C
I begged and begged for you to leave him. I swear I'll kill 'em when I see him.
Em
I love you more than words can say but I can’t take your breath away,
C
Or be the prince that saves the day, 'cause I'll rub your feet, but I’m not your slave.
Am C D Dsus4
I thought that you should know that I'll forever love you so.
Em G Am C
Well love don’t tell us what to do.
Em G Am C
It only shows us what we need.
Em G Am C
And whenever I'm alone with you,
Em G Am C
I know I'm where I want to be
Em
God cuffed the devil 'cause he had my soul.
Cut off his hands and claimed he stole.
C Em
The devil sat there bleeding and crying, all confused.
'Cause when I signed that paper to give him his share.
Me and Mr. Lucifer were both unaware
C D Dsus4 D
That the soul that I sold him had long belonged to you.
(Single strums if you're really feelin it)
Em G Am C
And love don't tell us what to do.
Em G Am C
It only shows us what we need.
Em G Am C
And whenever I'm alone with you,
Em G Am C Em
I know I'm where I want to be

Intro - Dmaj7 G
Verse 1
Dmaj7
Well I see you standing there and your eyes are unaware
G
That I've been staring at them all night, wishing the brain behind them cared
Em
About the way you make me feel or how your smile makes me nervous
A
Or how the fact that you exist makes me feel like I have a purpose.
Dmaj7
I'm sick of lying in your bed while we're both laying down.
G
You say you want me for a friend. I hope you know I hate that sound.
Em
But I will bite my tongue because I hate when you're pissed off.
A
But you should know I need your touch like falling rain on thirsty crops.
Chorus
G A D A G
But damn you stupid girl. Why won't you drop your guard?
A D A G
The space between our lips is bound to break my ever aching heart.
A D A G
And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you more.
A
So why won't you love me?
Short Bridge Thing - Dmaj7 G
Dmaj7
Well I hate your cigarettes and the men that you go see
G
Because one is killing you, while the other's killing me.
Em
But I know that you'll stay stubborn because you know I'll stay alone.
A
'Cause we both know, inside your grasp, is the only place I feel at home.
Dmaj7
Now I sit with my guitar. Write you one more stupid song.
G
I hate the way you make me feel like I'm doing something wrong.
Em
But you'll just have to deal with all the things that I have mentioned
A
And I hope this song is golden like the point of my intentions
Chorus
G A D A G
But damn you stupid girl. Why won't you drop your guard?
A D A G
The space between our lips is bound to break my ever aching heart.
A D A G
And I am sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you more.
A
So why won't you love me?
Short Bridge Thing - Dmaj7 G
Verse 3
Dmaj7
Now the deed is done and there is nothing left to say.
G
Prayed to the God you don't believe in, that you'll love me some day.
Em
So when the years go by and you forget how much I care;
A
Put in this song and sing along so your heart will be aware.
Outro
G A D A G
It's like giving up on everything that you believe
A D A G
To put your trust in a girl that stole your heart right of your sleeve.
A D A G
And I'm so sure that you will never find a man that is ever gonna love you more.
A (Strum once) Dmaj7 (Strum once)
But you just won't love me.
Hope y'all liked it - Name's James Lavelle - Nice to meet you!

3. Private Fears in Public Places
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capo 4, standard tuning.
G C
So cold is the wind that blows your hair.
G C
So warm is your touch upon my skin.
G C
How tired am I of being scared,
G C
but how awake am I now that I know you're here.
G
'Cause I'd rather fight with you than laugh with another.
Em
I'd rather freeze in your arms than be warm under covers.
C D
I'd let you hit me before I ever let you hit the floor.
G
I'd rather choke than to breath in your absence.
Em
I'd rather feel your wrath than feel another's passion.
C D
I'd rather die on the day that I give you a kiss than spend the rest of my
life knowing I never did
G Em
So just hold me and tell me that I'm everything you need.
C D
Tell me that, that lonely little heart of yours that I've been dying for,
G
ain't out of reach.
G
So if you're looking for some proof
that there's a heart inside of me
Em
than lace your fingers between mine and you will see it start to leak.
C
And I know you're not a crutch but I can hold you when I stand
D
'cause I am living for touch but I would die to be your man.
G
Let me look into your eyes
like I am searching for your soul.
Em
Wrap my arms around your waist
like it is dying from the cold.
C
Run my fingers through your hair
like they are water from the drain.
D
Press my lips against your back
like they could take away its pain.
G
And to give you everything,
there is nothing I wont do.
Em
Dump my heart into a blender
just to pour it out to you.
C
And I know you're feeling tired.
Just let me hold you for a bit.
D(strum once)
Dive my face between your thighs until I cannot feel my lips. ohh
G Em C D G
G C
I know that you think I'm kind of odd.
G
But if your love was a mountain,
C
I swear that I'd climb to the top.
G C
I Would tell you "you're lovely and everything ill ever need,
G C G
and id give you my all if you'd just come and stand next to me."

Am7 Am7sus4 Am7 Cmaj7 Cadd9 Cmaj7 G D Dsus4
Am7 Am7sus4 Cmaj7 Cadd9
I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,
G D Dsus4 D
just enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.
Am7 Am7sus4 Cmaj7 Cadd9
I've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken,
G D Dsus4 D
begging God to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.
Am7 Am7sus4 Cmaj7 Cadd9
Broke my knuckles on the wall because I thought about the call
G
where you said you'd always love me,
D Dsus4 D
do you not tell the truth at all?
Am7 Am7sus4 Cmaj7 Cadd9
Well if I ever cross your mind make sure you write down the times,
G D Dsus4
so I will know the moments I was eating you alive.
Cadd9* Em7 G
Now I lay here waiting with the hope that I might find some sleep.
D Dsus4
I need some sleep tonight.
Cadd9* Em7 G
'Cause I've been waiting on your call but I know it will never come but
D Dsus4 Cadd9*
I'm still waiting by the phone.
Em7 G
And don't you dare, don't you dare, say you ever loved me
D Dsus4
or even tell me that you cared
Em7 Cadd9*
cause you knew what you were doing and you know just what you've done.
G D Dsus4
How dare you say you miss me with your spit still on his tongue?
Em7 Cadd9*
I am broken, I am beaten, I'm mistreated and I'm torn,
G D Dsus4
I am cold with no direction but I'm lost without your warmth.
Em7 Cadd9*
I'm trying hard to find some hope that I might get the chance to breathe.
G D Dsus4
Get off my mind, give back my heart and get the fuck away from me!
Em7 Cadd9*
I know I couldn't give you much, but I know I gave my best,
G D Dsus4
you were always my princess, and now he's sliding up your dress.
Em7 Cadd9*
And I know I gave the world everything I've ever had,
G D Dsus4
Johnny Cash said love would burn, I never thought it hurt this bad.
Am7 Am7sus4 Cmaj7 Cadd9
I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,
G D Dsus4 D
just enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.
Am7 Am7sus4 Cmaj7 Cadd9
I've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken,
G D Dsus4 D
begging God to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.

Am7 Am7sus4 Cmaj7 Cadd9 G D Dsus4
(Strum once per chord)
Em7
You are the itch that's on my back,
Cadd9
you are the gum under my shoe,
G
you are the horrors of my past,
D
you are the chill that haunts the room,
Em7
you are creaking on my steps,
Cadd9
you are cancer, you are plague,
G
you are regret, you are disease,
D Dsus4 Am7
I wish that you would go away.

E-mail: [email protected]
Tuning: Standard
Capo on 5th fret
Note: On the album, the Capo is on the 5th fret.
However, when Jake Mcelfresh plays live, his guitar is tuned half step down
so he has to put the Capo on the 7th fret for this song.
Check out his live performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuGWfjBFdJw
[intro] C G Am G
F G Am G
[verse]
C G Am G
I saw you standing on that bridge
F G Am G
Right then I knew the life that I would like to live
C G Am G
Your frizzy hair tangled my mind
F G Am G
Right then I knew that I would love you for all time
C G Am G
You ran your hand across the ledge
F G Am G
Right then I felt that all my hunger had been fed
C G Am G
You cracked a smile up towards the sky
F G Am G F
That thought alone will keep me happy for my life, but I ask now
[chorus]
F G Am C F
How can angels fly when you're still on the ground?
F G Am C F
Cause I've been searching my whole life for you to turn my life around
F G Am
And now I don't know what to say because the pain won't go away
C F G C
And I've been crying since the day that you took all my good away
[intro riff]
C G Am G
F G Am G
[verse]
C G Am G
I wish I'd never walked away
F G Am G
Cause if I knew you'd jump I'd dive into that bay
C G Am G
And I would have saved you from the cold
F G Am G F
Cause when you took that leap you stole my heart and soul, so I ask now
[chorus]
F G Am C F
How can angels fly when you're still on the ground?
F G Am C F
Cause I've been searching my whole life for you to turn my life around
F G Am
And now I don't know what to do cause I’ve been standing at your grave

And I've been crying since the day that you took all my good away

And all you wanted was a man for you to love
C G Am G
Well I just started breaking down
F G Am G F
Because the angel I've been searching for had left me on the ground
G C
And now I'll die alone

10. Island of the Misfit Boy
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tunning: Half Step Down
C
I love to sleep, cause I pretend that I'm dead
E
But I hate waking up cause it's hard to forget
Am F G
That I've lost all control of this life that I've held so dear.
C
And I wait for the bus but I'm not on the bench,
E
I'm just spread across the ground making friends with cement,
Am F G
Hoping that the bus won't miss me when it comes my way.
Am
Well I made a few jokes but they said they weren't funny.
F
I tried to force a smile but they said it was ugly.
C G
I tried to make a friend but no one was a friend to me.
Am
Poured my heart to a girl and it went on the floor,
F
And I asked her what she wanted and she said she wanted more.
C G
I tried to find a lover, all I found was an enemy.
C
Well I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself.
E
And I don't make a sound but my eyes scream out help
Am
And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
F G
From thrusting my head straight through the fucking glass
C
And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
E
And breaking my back to try to make them aware
Am
That I'm more than depressed and their time won't be wasted
F G
But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.
Am
Now I'm lost in this hole and I'm sure I am stuck
F
And I can't run away 'cause I'm lazy as fuck.
C
So I sit on the floor as I gather my thoughts
G
And they're full of broken promises that only piss me off.
Am
Well I lost control when I was only a boy,
F
The world taught me angst when I deserved joy.
C
Now I'm breaking down as I struggle to breathe,
G
Cause I believe in a god who won't believe in me.
C
Well I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself.
E
And I don't make a sound but my eyes scream out help
Am
And I start to struggle to hold myself back,
F G
From thrusting my head straight through the fucking glass
C
And I'm tired of falling for girls that don't care,
E
And breaking my back to try to make them aware
Am
That I'm more than depressed and their time won't be wasted
F G C
But I am just a broken boy that no one wants to play with.

I WON'T SAY THAT I'M OKAY
FRONT PORCH STEP
CAPO: 6th FRET
INTRO: D G D G
VERSE:
D
I won't hold my tongue.
G
I'm not okay without you here.
D
I guess what's done is done.
G
I just feel so exposed without you near.
BREAK:
Em G
And I won't say that I'm okay,
Em
'Cause you taught me not to lie,
G A
So know that I'll miss you everyday.
PRE-CHORUS:
D
You always taught me to be good,
And always do my best to be selfless
G
But I know that God is holding you
And I am so damn jealous,
Em
'Cause I miss your arms around me
And the way you make me laugh.
A
Now I'm stuck inside this prison that says
You're never coming back.
CHORUS:
D
So I'm sitting in my room
As I try to write this song.
G
I'm so sorry that it's not good enough.
It's just that everything seems wrong,
Em
And I keep bursting into tears
Because the pain won't go away,
A
Because the father took my best friend
And said she cannot come out to play
D G D G
Anymore.
REFRAIN:
D
I won't hold my tongue.
G
I'm not okay without you here.
D
I won't hold my tongue.
G
I'm not okay without you here.
D
I won't hold my tongue.
G
I'm not okay without you here.
VERSE:
D
I guess what's done is done.
G
I just feel so exposed without you near.
BREAK:
Em G
And I won't say that I'm okay,
Em
'Cause you taught me not to lie,
G A
So know that I'll miss you everyday.
PRE-CHORUS:
D
You always taught me to be good,
And always do my best to be selfless
G
But I know that God is holding you
And I am so damn jealous,
Em
'Cause I miss your arms around me
And the way you make me laugh.
A
And now I'm stuck inside this prison that says
You're never coming back.
CHORUS:
D
And now I'm sitting in my room
As I try to write this song.
G
I'm so sorry that it's not good enough.
It's just that everything seems wrong,
Em
But I will try my best to be good
So I can pay my way,
A
Straight through the pearly gates
Into your arms so we can play
D
Once more.
SPOKEN OUTRO: (play D G over and over until end)
D
Grandma, Uh, I love God with all my heart
G
And uh, The only reason that isn't
D
Stated in my life is because of you
And I really don't understand it God
That you introduced me to
What would take you away so fast
G
When you were the only person
That ever understood a thing I ever said
And I really don't understand
D
How to deal with this anymore
And, I'm just really not okay with this
G
And I miss you and I understand you're in heaven
D
But I don't want to be selfish
I don't want you to be in heaven
I want you to be back down here
I don't want you to be there
G
I want you to be here
What am I supposed to do now
G C G C fade out...
That's all I'm asking
