[Intro]
Bb
 
[Chorus]
 F C         Bb
I’m what I am 
F          C     F      Bb
Instead of whatever I’m not 
F  C          Bb
I’m what I am 
F          C      F       Bb
Instead of whatever I’m not 
C
I’m not
 
[Verse 1]
F                         Dm C
Faaaaaallllin so casually  
F            Bb
Walking the hill 
F                         Dm C
My time’s gotten wasteful 
F
So now 
C              F
I’m standing still 
 
[Chorus]
C        F    Bb
Right where I am 
F           C  F  C        Bb
Instead of wherever I’m not 
C
I’m not
 
[Verse 2]
F                            Dm C
Well I backed off the pedals 
F                      Bb
To hear the engine’s hush 
F                   Dm C
With no destination 
F                C        F
No further, no more, no rush
 
[Chorus]
C         F    Bb
Right where I am 
F       C       F           Bb
Instead of wherever I’m not
F        C     Bb
 Right where I am

Instead of wherever I’m not

 I’m what I am
F         C     F         Bb
Instead of whatever I’m not

[Intro]
G
 
[Verse 1]
G
There's a town where it's carved into the Earth
G                 Am                 D
And summer always sings "la da da da da"
                   G
To keep from being heard
 
[Verse 2]
G
Well I was born there, right around this spot
                         Am                   D
Where the only thing you know is "la da da da da"
                        G
Whether you like the song or not
 
[Chorus]
        C
You can find me in town, on any street
Am                                  G
Wandering towards the sound of your voice
        C
You can find me on the street, any time
Am                           G
Looking for you, singing to myself
 
[Verse 3]
G
So if you're lonely, just a face among the crowd
G                        Am                   D
Well, the only thing you know is "la da da da da"
                      G
You know I'll come around
 
[Chorus]
        C
You can find me in town, on any street
Am                                  G
Wandering towards the sound of your voice
        C
You can find me on the street in any town
Am                           G
Looking for you, singing to myself
 
[Bridge]
       D
Do you need a friend?
D
Well, do you need a friend?
D
Well, do you need a friend?
Em            A
Do you need a friend?
 
[Outro]
G  Am  D
                                G
Whether you like the song or not

C C Am C C Am Em F G C
 
[Verse 1]
           C
Well ever since you went away I've been a mess inside
             Am                             C
And there's nothing you could do to get me satisfied
        C                               Am      Em
And my heart's turned against me and it won't abide
       F                            G       C
But I don't really miss her like I miss my pride
 
[Verse 2]
                C
Well there's a weight on my back and there's a thorn in my side
            Am                        C
There's a stone in my chest where my heart should reside
                                    Am            Em
And peace of mind is more than even she could provide
       F                          G        C
But I don't want her back like I want my pride
 
[Chorus]
        F
Well I know I'll find another
                   C
I know we wasn't meant for each other
     F            G       C
But oh, all that love in vain
             F
She was so quick to recover
                 C
Was I just some two-bit lover?
              F                G       C
If she would suffer she would ease my pain
 
C C Am C C Am Em F G C
 
[Verse 3]
        C
Well in no time flat she found a faster ride
              Am                       C
She took the first good looker and she opened wide
                                        Am     Em
While I've been suffering alone in the great divide
       F                            G        C
But I don't really need her like I need my pride
 
[Verse 4]
         C
Well I drive by her house to see his bike outside
        Am                            C
And I dream every night it's someone else's bride
                                         Am          Em
But if I tell you she's the one then you know I've lied
           F                           G        C
'Cause I don't really love her like I love my pride
 
[Chorus]
        F
Well I know I'll find another
                   C
I know we wasn't meant for each other
     F            G       C
But oh, all that love in vain
             F
She was so quick to recover
                 C
Was I just some two-bit lover?
              F                G       C
If she would suffer she would ease my pain

[Intro]
D  A
 
[Verse 1]
D
I was huddled in a doorway
A
Fighting off a trance
        D                 A
With my bag pulled to my chest
    D                 A
She asked me if I was waiting for something
           D
I said the answer one thousand times over was yes
 
[Pre-chorus]
F#m                   G
  Well here I am or a shadow of me
   D
Oh but deep down inside
              D
My heart runs free
 
[Verse 2]
D                         A
I was a used shoe salesman
          D                          A
And I was working the graveyard shift
      D                 A
I was listening for the bell on the door
D
when you walk in
D                                A
I was living in the weeds somewheres
          D                                A
And I was breathing through a straw in the swamp
          D              A      D
And I was gasping for air wondering what it was for
 
[Chorus]
F#m                             G
  But I've a child now and she's better than me
   D                               D
But deep down inside, I hope she makes the same mistakes as me
F#m                              G
  But sometimes love is all it's supposed to be
             D                         G
But it could break you, remember, take care of your heart
    E            A               D                A
And cry, oh and somehow we'll survive another day
 
[Verse 3]
   D                  A
By picking up our feet
D                             A                      D
I was wandering around in the streets somewheres outside of Eden
D                           A
She came down and let me in
         D                       A
And then she left for the light
          D                          A
And I was creeping through, through the brush and the shadows
           D             A
Man, I was scared for my life
 
[Chorus]
F#m                             G
  But I am saved now, somebody died for my sins
        D
And I'm so glad, it wasn't me
F#m                           G
  Sometimes love's not such a crazy thing,
             D                         G
But it could break you, remember, take care of your heart
    E           A        F#m      D               A
And cry, oh and somehow we'll survive another day
   D                    A
Oh just for another day
      D             A
Not by walking away
D
Now stay
 
[Chorus]
F#m                             G
  But sometimes love is all it's supposed to be
             D                         G
But it could break you, remember, take care of your heart
    E           A       F#m        D
And cry, oh and somehow we'll survive another day
D                 A
Just one other day
 
5. I Saw Her for the First Time
 
[Intro]
C  Am  C  Am  G  G
 
[Verse 1]
     C                              E
When she walked in, I held my breath
  Am
I thought I might just die
         C                                E
When she came my way and she caught my eye
  Am
I felt like I could cry
         C                               E
'Cause I never seen a room light up like that
      Am
And I never felt time stand still
      C                               E
And I didn't know a man could fall so hard
F               G   Am  A
At least not until
 
[Chorus]
  Dm                                    G
I saw her for the first time and I was lonely for the last time
  F       Am            Dm             G
I saw her for the first time and now I know I gotta make her mine
 
[Verse 2]
C                                E
When she walked in, my head did spin
   Am
My jaw just hit the ground
C                                     E
Stopped in my tracks like a heart attack
     Am
What beauty so profound
         C                               E
'Cause I never seen a room light up like that
      Am
And I never felt time stand still
      C                               E
And I didn't know a man could fall so fast
F               G   Am  A
At least not until
 
[Chorus]
  Dm                                    G
I saw her for the first time and I was lonely for the last time
  F       Em            Dm             G
I saw her for the first time and now I know I gotta make her mine
 
[Strings interlude]
C  Am  C  Am  G  G
 
[Verse 3]
     C                             E
When she walked out, I felt no doubt
Am
I would see her again
C                                 E
Up in the clouds and deep in the crowds
Am
  'Til the very end
         C                                  E
'Cause I never seen a face shine light like that
      Am
And I never felt time stand still
      C                               E
And I didn't know a man could fall so hard
F               G   Am  A
At least not until
 
[Chorus]
  Dm                                    G
I saw her for the first time and I was lonely for the last time
  F       Em            Dm             G                     G
I saw her for the first time and now I know I gotta make her mine

6. Peace of Mind
 
[Intro]
G  F#m  Em  D  A
 
[Verse 1]
                  D
I just keep being tired
                               Bm
I've been sleeping through my days
                     A
And I just can't get up now
                   G
No I can't get to work now
            D      Em            A
I'm in the darkness, it's beyond me
 
[Verse 2]
                    D
And I feel like I'm dreaming
               Bm
In a dream on repeat
                   A
And the more I try to see it
                G
The more it all recedes
           D     Em       A
Into the darkness, beyond me
 
[Chorus]
         G          D
Peace of mind, come quickly
         Em               D         A         G
Peace of mind, before the lightning strikes me down
        D                Em           A           D
And the thunder rolls me out into the distant stars
 
[Interlude]
D  Bm  A  G  D  Em  A
 
[Verse 3]
                  D
Sometimes it gets so hard
                     Bm
That it makes my body shake
                    A
And sometimes it gets so hard
                         G
That it's more than I can take
              D     Em        A
Here in the darkness, believe me
 
[Verse 4]
                    D
And I'm all dressed up
                       Bm
But there's nowhere to go
                    A
And I'm standing at the station
                     G
But the whistle won't blow
               D   Em         A
I'm in the darkness, believe me
 
[Chorus]
         G          D
Peace of mind, come quickly
         Em               D         A         G
Peace of mind, before the lightning strikes me down
        D                Em           A
And the thunder rolls me out into the distance
         G          D
Peace of mind, come quickly
         Em               D         A         G
Peace of mind, before the lightning strikes me down
        D                Em           A       D
And the thunder rolls me out into the distant stars

7. Could've Happened to Me
 
[Intro]
A
 
[Verse 1]
A
I was battle-torn and worn
                           D         A
I was ravaged by scores of arrows
Bm
  Thought about it for a little while
                                     A
Realized that I could walk away some day
A
A rack of ties, a travel mug
                                D          A
A telephone, a briefcase filled with papers
Bm
  I thought about it for a little while
                                 A
Realized I could leave the way I came
 
[Chorus]
      D            E
Oh my goodness, oh my my
                     A
Could've happened to me
 
[Verse 2]
A
At a border town I learned to keep my hat brim down
               D           A
And never talk to strangers
Bm
  Thought about for a little while
                              A
Realized I was only a drop in rain
A
A rack of ties, a travel mug
                            D          A
A telephone, a briefcase full of papers
Bm
  I thought about it for a little while
                                A
Realized I was only a link in a chain gang, babe
         D           Dm
I always took their advice
               A
I watched them lay down on the altar
                F#
Just like human sacrifices
 
[Chorus]
      D            E
Oh my goodness, oh my my
                     A
Could've happened to me
      D            E
Oh my goodness, oh my my
                     A
Could've happened to me
      D            E
Oh my goodness, oh my my
                     A
Could've happened to me
 
8. Both Sides of The Line
 
[Intro]
F  C  G  C  x2
 
[Verse 1]
       Am
Well another day's gone by
    G
The dawn so long ago
       F
And the memories keep flying high
        C             F
And the moments go so slow
F                  C
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
G                       C
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
 
[Verse 2]
        Am
And I'm five kinds of senseless
   G
My heart is beating slow
      F
Yeah, I got struck by lightning
          C             F
And I was sad to see it go
F                  C
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
G                       C
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
 
[Interlude]
Am  G  F  C  F
 
[Chorus]
F                  C
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
G                       C
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
 
[Verse 3]
         Am
Well I'm sitting at the head,
G
Stealing my own show
        F
And the plates are up on sticks
        C                 F
And I'm spinning tales of woe
F                  C
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
G                       C
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
 
[Verse 4]
          Am
And there once was an answer
    G
But now I don't care to know
       F
In the service of the question
       C             F
I just had to see it go
F                  C
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
G                       C
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
 
[Interlude]
Am  G  F  C  F
 
[Chorus]
F                C
Yeah I'm on both sides of the line
G                       C
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
 
[Verse 5]
        Am
And I'm easy in the ether,
G
Swinging to and fro
F
Lighter than a feather
       C                 F
With a mountain range in tow
F                  C
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
G                       C
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
 
[Verse 6]
        Am
And the fruits of my own labor
       G
Bears a seed I'll never sow
           F
Yeah, they cut down my pride
          C              F
But I was glad to see it go
F                  C
'Cause I'm on both sides of the line
G                       C
Bitter on the fruit and sweet on the rind
 
[Outro]
F           C
I'm on both sides of the line
G                   C  Am  G  F
Bitter on the fruit
C                 F
Sweet on the rind
 
9. I Know
 
[Intro]
B  E  C#m  B
B  E  F#  B
 
[Verse 1]
B           E
When you're all timed out
         B
And your sand's been tested
            F#               B
Through the hands of the hourglass
B           E
When you're hit with the bell
        B
And the birds stop singing
F#                        G#m
Knocked out, flat on your ass
 
[Verse 2]
            E
When you're laid out to pasture
        B
And the fields are grown barren
F#                             B
Was they greener than your own grass?
     E
When push comes to shove
    B
And shove comes to blows
      F#                G#m
And the maker is made at last
 
[Chorus]
        B                               E
There's one thing that I know that I've never been told
E                                     B
'Cause it feels like it's nothing to say
B                                 E
Will you stand by the life that's only your own?
         F#
Will you turn and run away?
 
[Interlude]
B  E  B  E  F#  B
 
[Verse 3]
B           E
When you're all dried up
        B
And you take your bottom dollar
       F#                       B
To the well and you give it away
B        E
When you stall on empty
        B
And you burn the last gas
       F#                 G#m
At the end of the fairest way
 
[Verse 4]
            E
When you're caught in the trap
        B
And you stare down the barrel
F#                    B
What will you have to say?
          E
When push comes to shove
     B
And shove comes to blows
        F#                 G#m
And you fall on judgement day
 
[Chorus]
        B                               E
There's one thing that I know that I've never been told
E                                     B
'Cause it feels like it's nothing to say
B                                 E
Will you stand by the life that's only your own?
         F#
Will you turn and run away?

10. Abandoned Mansion
 
[Intro]
A  F#m  A  F#m
 
[Verse 1]
A        F#m
Dust and lead
         A
Fear and love
A            F#m
They float inside
A        F#m
Drain my pride
 
[Bridge]
A                              F#m          Bm
You did it to yourself but you did it to me too
          A                          F#m    Bm
Yeah, you did it to yourself but you did it to me too
 
[Verse 2]
    A         F#m
But hope survives
   A         F#m
By wandering, lost in time
    A         F#m
The truth, so clear
       A              F#m
We are nothing if not here
 
[Bridge]
    A                          F#m          Bm
You did it to yourself but you did it to me too

Yeah, you did it to yourself but you did it to me too
    A                        F#m            Bm
You did it to yourself but you did it to me too
          A                          F#m    Bm
Yeah, you did it to yourself but you did it to me too...
 
[Chorus]
A                                   D
And so we're living in an abandoned mansion
    Bm
You search through the dark of your deserted heart
   D             E        A
To return to the splendor again
 
[Interlude]
A  F#m  A  F#m
 
[Verse 3]
  A        F#m
I hear the chains
A               F#m
Dragging on the floor
    A           F#m
But beneath the noise
A                F#m
Is the sound of a voice
 
[Bridge]
    A                          F#m          Bm
You did it to yourself but you did it to me too
          A                          F#m    Bm
Yeah, you did it to yourself but you did it to me too
    A                          F#m          Bm
You did it to yourself but you did it to me too
          A                          F#m    Bm
Yeah, you did it to yourself but you did it to me too...
 
[Chorus]
A                                   D
And so we're living in an abandoned mansion
    Bm
You search through the dark of your deserted heart
   D             E
To return, to eturn
A                                   D
And so we're living in an abandoned mansion
    Bm
You search through the dark of your deserted heart
   D             E
To return, to return, oh yeah
A                                   D
And so we're living in an abandoned mansion
    Bm
You search through the dark of your deserted heart

To return, to return, oh
A                                   D
And so we're living in an abandoned mansion

You search through the dark of your deserted heart

To return to the splendor again
