Angry
 
Lyrics
 

So scream you, out from behind the bitter ache

Heavy on the memory, you need most

Still want love, ugly, smooth and delicate

 

And instead of wishing that it would get better

Man you’re seeing that you just get angrier

 

And it’s good that I’m not angry

I just need to get over,

I’m not angry, anymore

 

Cry when you cry, run when you run

Love when you love

Represent the ashes

That you leave behind

 

And instead of wishing that the road had shoulder

Man you’re seeing that you’re sinking over time

 

And it’s good to see that I’m not angry

I just need to get over

I’m not angry

It’s dragging me under

I’m not angry

 

I’m not angry it’s never been enough

It gets inside and it tears you up

I’m not angry but I’ve never been above it

You see through me don’t you

 
Black & White People
 
Lyrics
 

One more day down

Everybody has those days

Where one soft sweet song’s

Just enough to clear my head

 

Fall on real life

Is anybody left there sane?

If we slide on over and accept fate

Then it’s bound to be a powerful thing

 

If it’s just that you’re weak

Can we talk about it

It’s getting’ so damn creepy

Just nursing this ghost of a chance

The fiction, the romance

And the Technicolor dreams

Of black and white people

 

One boy head strong

Thinks that living here’s just plain

He’s pushed down so hard

You can hear him start to sink

 

And it’s one last round of petty conversation

You hold on boy cuz

You won’t go down like this?

Just roll on over

Lay down till it’s more than you can take

 

So one more day down

And everybody’s changin’

One more head down

Just enough to reach my head

 

Yeah if you’re weak

Can we talk about it

It’s getting’ so damn creepy

Just nursing this ghost of a chance

The fiction, the romance

And the Technicolor dreams

Of black and white people

 

We are black and white people

Verse 1:
She got out of town on a railway New York bound
took all except my name another alien on Broadway
 
There's some things in this world you just can't change
some things you can't see until it gets too late

Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
who will save me from all I'm up against out in this world
maybe, maybe, maybe you'll find something
That's enough to keep you but if the bright lights don't receive you
you should turn yourself around and come on home
 
Verse 2:
 
I got a hole in me now I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me in her apartment in the city
 
Some things in this world they don't make sense
Some things you don't need until they leave you
and they're things that you miss

Let that city take you in
Let that city spit you out
Let that city take you down
For god's sake turn around
 
Crutch
 
Lyrics
 

I don’t want to be a crutch

One step away from down

I don’t want to be the crutch

One step away from…

 

Man I feel like hell so come on over

Be a love machine and I could be you’re friend

Ain’t no shame feel like strong for one another

Make a real true colour come end to end then

God damn. Change of pace

I think there’s still a piece of my heart on your face

It’s a shame to let it waste

 

How does it taste?

 

Break it down in pieces, make it simple

‘cause you know damn well that it’s a simple man

All these things go changing like the weather

And they stay that way until the weather man says

One down, gone to waste

I think there’s still a piece of that smile on your face

And I would like to see it erased

There ain’t no two ways about it

 

Chorus

 

Bring it on then gone, use a lover

Like a cigarette the way that lovers do

One sweet song that starts a little slow and

Then goes on and on and makes you want to

Move around the room in circles

Everybody wants to be you

Try to find my place up on the map

Of all the men you’ve been through

Dig a little deeper and you’ll realize

All I’m building up you’re tearing down

 

Chorus

I saw another guy that posted the chords but didn't have the neat little opening riff (and the one that closes the song... they're pretty much the same thing)... I'm not sure what effect the guys are using but it's definitely a clean sound this should be pretty close to the notes used... It's pretty simple and if you can nail that effect, sounds beautiful.  Standard Tuning, you'll have to figure out timing for yourself...here ya go:
