1. WEATHER REPORT
[Chorus]
Hey, can you tell me
What everybody plans to do
Hey, can you tell me
Where s everybody s going to
[Verse 1]
(improvise a bit with the basic chords during each verse)
They re out there on the street
N.C.
They must be elite
They got shoes I can t afford on their
Quick fast feet
N.C.
They have modified irises
N.C.
Behind opaque lens
They re hiding equipment
Behind barbed wire fences
N.C.
They have somewhere to go
N.C.
They have somewhere to lurk
They have this high-end electronic stuff
I wouldn t know how to work
[Chorus]
Hey, can you tell me
What everybody plans to do
Hey, can you tell me
Where s everybody s going to
[Verse 2]
I m sitting here on my couch
N.C.
My enthusiasm sinking
I don t know where anybody s going
I don t know what they re thinking
N.C.
There seems to be some secret
N.C.
That everybody s onto
But I just don t seem to get it man
Not even if I want to
[Chorus 2]
Hey, can you tell me
What everybody plans to do
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Hey, can you tell me
What everybody plans to do
Hey, can you tell me
Where s everybody s going to
[Verse 3]
I got an upright piano
That is blocking my door
But my fingers don t obey me
So I don t play it anymore
N.C.
I got chains around my ankles
N.C.
That are made out of spaghetti
My newspaper s shredded
Into so much confetti
N.C.
I tried to make sense of it
N.C.
But my eyes start to bleed
Every single page is impossible to read
[Chorus]
Hey, can you tell me
What everybody plans to do
Hey, can you tell me
Where s everybody s going to
[Outro]
Just sittin’ here waitin’ on the weather report
N.C.
(Repeat until fade, improvising with each repeat)

2. BROKEN SKIN
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
It’s not surprising
That you have all those wounds
They re advertising
The things that you ve been through
It s tantalizing
To psychoanalyze
We re all downsizing
What we do with our lives
[Chorus 1]
There s not enough money
In this whole world
To pay for a break or two
There s not enough armor in a suit of mail
Your broken skin s not black or blue
But damaged just the same
And who does not feel fractured too
Like broken skin
Broken skin
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
The sun s not rising
Upon your burned out shell
Still exercising
The things you don t do well
It s not enterprising
To grapple with the past
You re past surmising
How long the past can last
[Chorus 2]
There s not enough trees
You can hide behind
Not enough walls to climb
Not enough cracks in the paving stones
Your broken skin s not black or blue
But damaged just the same
And who does not feel fractured too
Like broken skin
Broken Skin
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus 1]
There s not enough money
In this whole world
To pay for a break or two
There s not enough armor in a suit of mail
Your broken skin s not black or blue
But damaged just the same
But who does not feel fractured too
Like broken skin
Broken skin
[Outro]
Broken skin
Broken skin
Broken skin
-----------------------------------
3. IT S MY PARTY (BUT I WON T CRY)
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
It s my party but I won t cry
It s my funeral but I won t die
It s my fiction but I won t lie
It s my party but I won t cry
[Pre-chorus 1]
I don t have the power to be superman
And I don t have the smarts to understand
Why you walked out and left me for another man
With the cake in the oven
And the meat in the pan
[Verse 2]
It s my party but I won t dance
My feet get tangled I can t take the chance
It s my party but no one s here
They left me chocolate and warm beer
[Pre-chorus 2]
I don t have the strength left to pull a train
I don t have the fortitude to start again
Well you might have left me in a world of pain
But I won t fall apart or go insane
[Chorus]
It’s my party now
It’s my party yeah
[Organ/Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
It is my party but I won t leave
The wound is fatal but I won t grieve
I m not in traction I m not bereaved
It s my party and I won t leave
[Pre-chorus 3]
I don t have the heart to beat myself up
It s a farfetched tale you can t make this stuff up
Well you might have left me in a world of pain
But I won t fall apart or go insane
[Chorus]
It‘s my party yeah
It‘s my party now
It‘s my party yeah
It‘s my party now
------------------------------------
4. BRING ME A HEART AGAIN
[Verse 1]
/ / / I don t feel comfortable
Inside my own skin
C7
It doesn t keep things in
I never get a kick from vodka or gin
Bring me a heart again
[Verse 2]
I got some courage
And I got a brain
C7
Straw man though I may be
But long ago I felt
My empathy wane
Bring me a heart again
[Chorus 1]
Though I had one once
I must have lost it in the rain
Pushin up the roots while ivy
Grows around your windowpane
[Verse 3]
/ / / I walk the city streets for hours at night
C7
Searching for some new clue
But I just hit dead ends
C7
It s always the same
Bring me a heart again
[Guitar solo]
C7
[Chorus 2]
Though I had one once
I must have lost it in the sun
Where it melted fast and now it
Can t be found by anyone
G7
[Verse 4]
I got some courage
C7
And I got a brain
Straw man though I may be
But long ago I felt
C7
My empathy wane
Bring me a heart again
Bring me a heart again
Bring me a heart again

A E A
That everything is strapped on tight

And that s why I ll be alone tonight

That everything is strapped on tight

7. SEE THINGS MY WAY
[Verse 1]
There is more than one of me
So many I lose count
Sometimes that s the fun of me
That s what I m all about
But I ll be there for you
And you know that that s true
I just can t guarantee
Which one of me it s going to be, so
[Chorus]
See things my way
(Come on) See things my way
(Can you) See things my way
See things my way
[Verse 2]
All the pieces fit
Like pieces in a puzzle do
The joins are jagged the edges rough
But the heart is straight and true
Well this one s fragile this one s tough
This one s kind of blue
And this one has a lot of things that
Remind me of you, so
[Chorus]
See things my way
(Come on) See things my way
(Can you) See things my way
See things my way, my way, my way
[Bridge]
A brighter shade of red
Like sunshine on my bed
But everybody s head
Is filled with more than just one soul, so
[Chorus]
See things my way
(Come on) See things my way
(Can you) See things my way
See things my way, my way, my way
(Repeat until fade)

This room got really weird

It changed before my eyes

This street has changed its name
A
So many times before

The cells I used to have
A
Have long since gone to waste
A
And in the coming years
A
It will all be replaced

You re not who you think you are
You re not who you think you are

This piece of literature

I m holding in my hands

This movie makes no sense

The actors disappeared

Killed off two by two

You re not where you think you are
You re not where you think you are

You re not where you think you are
You re not where you think you are

7. SEE THINGS MY WAY
[Verse 1]
There is more than one of me
So many I lose count
Sometimes that s the fun of me
That s what I m all about
But I ll be there for you
And you know that that s true
I just can t guarantee
Which one of me it s going to be, so
[Chorus]
See things my way
(Come on) See things my way
(Can you) See things my way
See things my way
[Verse 2]
All the pieces fit
Like pieces in a puzzle do
The joins are jagged the edges rough
But the heart is straight and true
Well this one s fragile this one s tough
This one s kind of blue
And this one has a lot of things that
Remind me of you, so
[Chorus]
See things my way
(Come on) See things my way
(Can you) See things my way
See things my way, my way, my way
[Bridge]
A brighter shade of red
Like sunshine on my bed
But everybody s head
Is filled with more than just one soul, so
[Chorus]
See things my way
(Come on) See things my way
(Can you) See things my way
See things my way, my way, my way
(Repeat until fade)

[Intro]
A A
A A
[Verse 1]

This room got really weird
A
It changed before my eyes

And then I grew this beard

A really cheap disguise

That chandelier that fell

It wasn t there before

The pieces from the floor

[Verse 2]
A
This street has changed its name
A
So many times before
A
I looked out yesterday
A
And it had changed once more
A
The cells I used to have
A
Have long since gone to waste
A
And in the coming years
A
It will all be replaced
[Chorus]
F#m E
You re not who you think you are
You re not who you think you are

Anymore

This piece of literature
A
I m holding in my hands

The plot just took a turn

That I don t understand
A
This movie makes no sense
A
That I ve been sitting through
A
The actors disappeared
A
Killed off two by two
[Chorus]
F#m E
You re not where you think you are
You re not where you think you are
A
Anymore
F#m E
You re not where you think you are
You re not where you think you are

You re not
You re not where you think you are

Anymore
You re not where you think you are
A
Anymore

This room got really weird
A
It changes as I write
A
The furniture was cleared
A
By someone in the night
