Austin Lucas - Go West

Capo V

D

.........F#m.

Oh no malice does exist

............G.........................G/F#

in these words I am now writing

................Em

Although one might catch

..................................A

the faintest glance at sorrow

............Bm

I'm but trying hard to grasp

............G

all these fragments as they're passing

...............Em

Piece the puzzle now

...................................A

before the trail grows cold

....................G
And I'm not asking for the answers

...F#m

in mathematical equations

........Em............D/F#

to be culled and calculated

..........G

by unbiased hands

G

For at truth I am so stricken

.........A

And I dare only to forever dance

.........D..........................................G

Which proves I am the better broken half

...............................A....................D

Oh and I am but the bitter better half

In my callous speculations
They leave no room for calm or reason
I have placed myself in altars that are hollow
So adept at finding weakness
I smell fear and close my fists
Unaware the stench I'm smelling is my own
So yeah, you left me and I'm bitter
And my pride is shocked and raw
For I believe I will be changing roads no more
I know that life is full of dead ends
But I saw us as a highway
Ever stretching on from coast to golden coast
Oh, but now instead I'm singin'

D.............A
Go west, Emily

.................G........................A

Grab your boots and find yourself somewhere

....D..................A................G

I'll find another lover in the east

.........D............A

I said go west, Emily

..............Bm...........................G

Yeah you know you've got my blessing

.............D............................A........G

But you can't expect these eyes of mine

...................D

to watch you leave

So with no malice I'll begin just once more to tell our story
Though the ending I may never hope to know
You were a sweet and sound companion
Though our paths led us apart
And I may never sleep so soundly as I did while in your arms
Now all I ask is you remember who you loved and who you lost
Please don't bury me in silence
Or blackest shroud of thought
Don't pretend that what we had was any less than what it was
For I will not soon be forgetting the reasons why we fought so hard to make it work

But go west, Emily
Grab your boots and find yourself somewhere
I'll find another lover in the east
I said go west, Emily
You know you've got my blessing
But you can't expect these eyes of mine to watch you

Go west, Emily
Grab your boots and find yourself somewhere
I'll find another lover in the east
I said go west, Emily
You know you've got my blessing
But you can't expect these eyes of mine to watch you leave

Joe Pug - Not So Sure

Capo IV

C

there was a time when I heard you

C

calling out my name

......F..............................C.........G

but these days I'm not so sure

............C........................................G

when the room went dark and her voice was gone

...Am

I heard you all the same

......F................................C..........G

but these days I'm not so sure

I knew I could remember

your bedroom and your touch

but these days I'm not so sure

"definitely" was a word that I

used far too much

but these days I'm not so sure

..F.............................C

I bummed expensive cigarettes

...F..................................C

I wrote John Steinbeck's books

.......Am.........................G

I undressed someone's daughter

........F.............................C

and complained about her looks

F

stealing was so easy then

............................C

I wish that it still were

..............Am...............G

now as I pick my own pocket

............F................................C

I know these days I'm not so sure

the church was my kitchen

the world was my church

but these days I'm not so sure

the choirs I would listen

the choirs I would search

but these days I'm not so sure

I sacrificed my sister

I prayed my own soul to keep

I told my dying father

that a man should never weep

breathing was so easy then

I wish that it still were

now as the breeze just makes me colder

that these days I'm not so sure

so if you see me tripping

I've forgotten how to walk

and I spend my days wishing after her

my steps are without rhythm

and her name is drawn in chalk

but these days I'm not so sure

I drank my wine for breakfast

every morning I was born

in the black electric winter

my back stays warm

sleeping was so easy then

I wish that it still were

and in my sleepless bedroom

I know that these days I'm not so sure

..............Am

Hungarian sunlight

................................C

showing me to have pretended like

...................G

I didn't even know

..............................Am.......G...F

that I would have to pay for it again

I a lighting on the outskirts

knowing nothing but a nonsense word

every stranger knows

that I'll have to say it in the end

G..................................C.....................F

walking shocked by the ghost along the river

G................................................F

did the moon reflect me for what I am

American drumming

sounds like going in the great relief

cascading into sleep

fading out of a dream

seeking some reception

before the hand of the holy man

later in the dark

when he departs from living

standing stumped by the stamps of the valley king

did the lions take me for someone strange

staring straight at the dog by the castle

my shadow cast me so untrue
