pre>intro c#m b a b a b c#m
C#m e c#m e
The dark hand will call you out of nowhere it seems
C#m a e b

C#m b a b a b c#m
Fear not baby fear not baby fear not it's going to end (intro)
Get your drink knocked over
You're thinking that it might be planned
But it's just some fool in the crowd tonight
What's the name written on his hand
I won't give away anything more than the ink from my pen
You ought to know when you look at me
Love is something you can't offend
Chorus
Bridge a e repeats then f#m e then f#m a e twice c#m
I said fear not i said fear not
I can't stand to leave you to the lions of the world
Yeah i know that it seems like we're in a cage but we ain't the animals
I won't let them touch you not a hair that's on your head
They can rip out bits of me that should keep them fed
Chorus
It's going to end

You can brace yourself for it

And it makes you want to just look back and laugh

And it never stops there's always a price on your head
Where in the world will it end?
Will they ever let it drop?
And you don't even see the betrayal
As you trip on the light rail
And you feel you owe too much to even ask
What a thankless task thankless task
Thankless task thankless task
What a thankless task

4. _ Temporary Beauty
pre>
[e,a,e,b / e,a,e,b]
[for the intro, play e with an f# added on the high
E string, and then a "normal" e chord for the second
Strum. tack that f# onto the a chord as well.]
E a c#m
You have to do your best to come up to par,
A b e
From straight off the production line like a car,
E a c#m
Till everything you put on is a put-on,
A f#m
And you don't know who's face you're gazing upon
C#m a
Could be anyone you're sending out there tonight,
C#m b
Is it any wonder all the lights are too bright?
E a
And you need temporary beauty,
G#m e b
And hope to god that it doesn't rain
E a
You need temporary beauty,
G#m c#m f#m b e [like intro}
Even though it might be love in vain
The world is full of little people like you
They have to read a book to learn what to do
They hang around in second hand stores for clothes
And every kind of pressures steps on their toes
Love doesn't fall out of a magazine
You mustn't always believe what you see
[chorus]
A b a b
Ah-ah-ah temporary beauty, ah-ah-ah temporary beauty,
A b a e e b
Ah-ah-ah temporary beauty
You might be the sweetest little girl in your heart
But still the world ignores that and tears you apart
You think of the parties you'll never attend
You dream of someone who's more than a friend
Love doesn't jump out of a magazine
You mustn't always believe what you see
E a
And you need temporary beauty,
G#m e b
And hope to god that it doesn't rain
E a
You need temporary beauty,
G#m c#m f#m b [3 times]
Even though it might be love, [3 times]
In vain (like intro)

Into a world where you're not around can't let you down
Chorus

Don't break down in this cold town where the people live in fear

I only took it for granted and like a fool let it all slip by
But if you forgive me of my mistakes i will try to find what it takes
In this soul there's a heart that aches to give me my lesson

This groove is em d em bm7 and the other chord is a
Em d em b7
You hit the spot send a heatwave through my brain
Another shot of an antidote for pain
When i get the fear gets down to the bone
A briefly (groove continues)

Oh ooh baby your love gives me all

What you haven't got you always worry about
These tangled hours we just can't unwind
Won't interfere leaving them behind

Spot spot spot yeah you hit the spot
Spot spot spot you just seem to blot out all the pain
Spot spot spot but don't miss again you hit the spot

A f#m g a
The party may wind down the bottles are strewn and broken
D em7 a
The games are all played out like useless tokens
A f#m g a
The videos are scattered their messages have screened and clattered
D em7 a g
Discussing the actors as if they mattered they mattered
C#m a c#m a
And i'm not gaining any ground here
C#m a f#m
No i'm not listening you do not care
G#m7 a g#m7 a
We are not driving in the same gear
A a c a
It always feels the same on the dark side of the bright lights
D d
Getting turned off again
The night's conversation might never really end up anywhere
The big mouths just open and close on fingers
The shal-la-la-la-low laughs they turned out to be hard reminders
And we only heard them playing behind us behind us
And i'm not gaining any ground here
You are not listening you do not care
You are not whispering in the right ear
It always feels the same on the dark side of the bright lights
Getting turned off again
A c
I can't stand it i can't stand it
A c a
I can't even gain your attention i i i i
Solo over c#m a then to f#m
And i'm not gaining any ground here
No i'm not listening you do not care
We are not driving in the same gear
C a
It always feels the same on the dark side of the bright lights
On the dark side of the bright lights
On the dark side of the bright lights
Getting turned off again (x3) /pre>
