Where We Come Up

F | G | C | F G | C
| G | Dm | F G | C
Where we come up, wasn't anything at all this amazing.
| G | Dm | F
Wasn't that amazing, except every now and then,
G | C
And we all saw the same thing happening.
| G | Dm | F G | C
Where we come up every engine on the line's running sour diesel
| G | Dm
Wasn't that amazing 'cept the the old boys in their overhauls,
| F G | F
The oilmen and yard mechanics.
| G | C Em
And I'm not bad, just a member of the city crew
| F | Em
That flies around the midnight hours.
| F | Dm | G | C
Never knew the early light would suit me like a sleeve.
| G | Dm | F G | F
Where we come up, wasn't anything at all this confusing.
| G | C | F G |
Wasn't anything at all where we come up.
C | G | Dm | F G |
C | G | Dm | F G |
Where we come up
C | G | Dm | F G |
Where we come up
C | G | Dm | F G | F
| G | C Em
And I'm not hurt. I'm not bleeding broken or
| F | Em
forgotten like an unknown soldier.
| F | Dm | G | C
Never thought the best of things were ever more than dreaming.
| G | Dm | F G | F
Where we come up isn't any different there aren't many changes.
| G | C | F G | C
Wasn't anything at all where we come up.
| G | Dm | F G | F
Where we come up isn't any different there aren't many changes.
| G | C | F G | C
Wasn't anything at all where we come up.

A Cup of Poison

C | G | C | G | | |
| | | C | G
She's a cup of poison, working by the sink.
| | | C | D
I know she's sees me, so dare I take a drink?
| G | | C | G
And we're never lonely anytime we're staying in.
| C | G | C | G | | |
A cup poison in my veins, a cup of poison.
| | | C | G
A cup of poison and it keeps me from the shakes.
| | | C | D
She's my companion whatever turn I take.
| G | | C | G
And she's like religion, though it leads me where I stray.
| C | G | C | G | | | |
A cup of poison in my veins, a cup of poison.
D | | C | | G | | | |
Won't be long and I'll be long gone.
D | | C | | D | | | |
If I'm down only means I'm around.
C | | D | |
Every Sunday night, every Monday night
G | D | Em | |
Hoping for another weekend.
C | | D | | C Em | Am7 G | D | | |
Make myself a mess of things 'til then.
| G | | C | G
Then, a cup of poison. Goes with everything I eat.
| | | C | D
Down to the bottom, though her taste is bitter sweet.
| G | | C | G
She runs the river through my hills through my canyons
| C | G | C | G | | |
Cup of poison in my veins, a cup of poison.
| ' | | C | G | | | C | D
A cup of poison
| G | | C | G
A cup of poison
| C | G | C | G | | | |
A cup of poison in my veins, a cup of poison.

That I Could Listen
by Adam Belsky, all rights reserved 2020
D | A E | A | |
| C# | D | A |
I had the drive and I had the passion.
| C# | D | E |
I don't remember having any other way.
A | C# | D | A E |
And I had the answers to all of our wishing,
D | A E | A | |
But I didn't have the patience that I could listen.
A | C# | D | A |
| C# | D | E |
So I went to work and I did it "my way".
A | C# | D | A E |
And I made it up to you, but something else was missing.
D | A E | A | |
If I only had the patience that I could listen.
F# | | D | A |
And any other time I'd get back to you, let you finish then.
C# | D | Bm | E | |
Seems to me this time, you're the one who's finishing.
A | C# | D | A E |
So I hear good bye but I don't hear a reason.
D | A E | A | |
Won't you make another try that I could listen.
A | C# | D | A E |
D | A E | A D | A
Won't you make another try that I could listen.

G | Bm A | D | |
| A | G | D |
Meet you by the cinema there beside the parking lot.
| Bm | G | A | D
Maybe share a cigarette before the feature plays.
| A | G | D A | G
Make another rendez-vous. Something I been going through.
| Bm A | D | |
Something I'll be telling you.
| A | G | D |
Meet you on the playground wall 'fore they built the shopping mall.
| Bm | G | A | D
Before they tore the whole thing down. Took it all away.
| A | G | D A | G
Make another tete-a-tete before I forget.

Something I'll be telling you.
Bm | F#m | G | D ' ' A | Bm
Yes, I'll be leaving 'fore they clear the April snow.
| F# | G | A |
And I'm not certain which way to go.
Bm | F#7 | G | D A | G
But its not a hard decision when everything is gone.
| Bm A | D | |
After everything is gone.
D | A | G | D |
| Bm | G | A | D
There lies adventure if I can overcome my fear.
| A | G | D A | G
And everything is c'est la vie, but all the same it bothers me.
| Bm A | D | ' ' ' A | Bm
'Cuz they tore down that cinema.
| F#m | G | D A | G
Maybe in a lifetime everything comes 'round again,
| Bm A | D | A | G
And I can meet you by the cinema
| D
There beside the parking lot.

E | B | E | | | | | B | E | | |
| E | | A | E | | |
They can make up their minds like the flow of a river.
| | | | B | | |
The shape of the valley a turn in the breeze.
| E | | A | E | | |
They can break out the shovels, the train cars and 'dozers.
| | B | E | | |
But the river runs down to the sea.
| | B | E | | | |
The river runs down to the sea.
E | | A | E | | | | | | | B | | | |
E | | A | E | | | | | B | E | | |

The river runs down to the sea.
CHORUS
| A | E | A | E |
She turns and she wanders, quietly meanders,
A | E | | B | | |
Traces the concrete laid down so carefully.
| E | | A | E | | |
You can make up your mind like the flow of a river.
| | B | E | | |
But the river runs down to the sea.
| | B | E | | |
The river runs down to the sea.
| E | | A | E | | |
You may follow the road in either direction,
| | | | B | | |
By way of the sign posts, or do as you please.
| E | | A | E | | |
You can pack up your iron to make your protection,
| | B | E | | |
But the river runs down to the sea.
| | B | E | | |
The river runs down to the sea.
