figure it out

intro
Been walking, been talking
been trying to
figure this whole thing out


(repeat)

can you see,
can you see,
can you see why?


can you be,
can you be,
can you be by?


been walking, been talking
been trying to
figure this whole thing out


(repeat)

punk rock

been walking, been talking
been trying to
figure this whole thing out

here less

verse 1
I'm here less,
   there's no guarantee
I'll be there less
   the numbers agree that
I'm here less,
   and no guarantee
I'll be there less
   so no one can see why


I'm here less,
with no guarantee I'll be there less
the numbers agree that
I'm here less,
so we all can see I'll be there less
I'm nervous and green and I'm here less


everybody bleeds.


(repeat)

kiss the ground

verse 1
I kiss the ground you walk on
   I kiss the sky you reach into
I kiss the air you breathe in
   I kiss the air you breathe out too
I kiss the ground you walk on
   I kiss the sky you reach into


chorus
it's you, it's you, it's you, it's you


verse 2
I follow every footstep
   I sleep in every hole you dig
I rest on every feeling
   every feeling small or big
I follow every footstep
   I sleep in every hole you dig


chorus
it's you, it's you, it's you, it's you


(music break)

verse 3
I kiss the ground you walk on
   I kiss the sky you reach into
I kiss the air you breathe in
   I kiss the air you breathe out too
I kiss the ground you walk on
   I kiss the sky you reach into


chorus
it's you, it's you, it's you, it's you

8 days and 7 nights

8 days and 7 nights
singing 'round the fireside
waves crashing
stars so bright
holding hands with someone tight


8 days and 7 nights

too many thieves

verse 1
it?s a sappy love song anyway
words are different but they mean the same
I'm just wishing for you here and now
i think it?s time that we just settle down


verse 2
it?s a sappy love song anyway
I've said it before and it won't go away
the same feelings i had yesterday
are back again and they won't go away


(music break)

verse 3
it's a rock and roll thing to say
hate the love song but sing anyway
the words are different but they mean the same
longing for the feelings of yesterday


chorus
   I've got my head on my shoulders and my heart on my sleeve
   I've got too many people that I want to believe
   I've got a chance at it now and some quick energy
   but there are too many, too many, too many thieves


verse 4
it's a rock and roll thing to say
hate the love song but sing anyway
the words are different but they mean the same
longing for the feelings I had yesterday


verse 5
...oh...shoot...I thought the chorus was next
...LET'S ROCK...
uh....oohhhhhhhhh...let's go...


chorus x 3

dah dah-dah-dah dah dah daaaaah, etc....

there are too many, too many, too many thieves
