G
She keeps it simple
C
And I am thankful for her kind of lovin’
G
‘Cause it’s simple
G
No longer do we wonder if we’re together
C
We’re way past that
G
And I’ve already asked her
D C G
So in January we’re gettin’ married
G
She’s talkin’ to me with her voice
C
Down so low I barely hear her
G
But I know what she’s sayin’
C G
I understand because my heart and hers are the same
D C G
And in January we’re gettin’ married
G
And I was sick with heartache
C G
And she was sick like Audrey Hepburn when I met her
G
But we would both surrender
C G
True love is not the kind of thing you should turn down
Am C
Don’t ever turn it down
G
I hope that I don’t sound to insane when I say
C G
There is darkness all around us
G C
I don’t feel weak but I do need sometimes for her to protect me
G C G
And reconnect me to the beauty that I’m missin’
D C
And in January we’re gettin’ married
G C
No longer does it matter what circumstances we were born in
G
She knows which birds are singin’
C G
And the names of the trees where they’re performin’ in the mornin
D C
And in January we’re gettin’ married
D C G
Come January let’s get married

3. Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise
Tuning: EADGBE
Tabbed By: Bmsacket
G D C Em
Theres a darkness upon me thats flooded in light
G D C Em
In the fine print they tell me whats wrong and whats right
G D C Em
And it comes in black and it comes in white
Em D C
And Im frightened by those that dont see it
G D C Em
When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
G D C Em
And your life doesnt change by the man thats elected
G D C Em
If youre loved by someone, youre never rejected
Em D C
Decide what to be and go be it
*Build up On C to go into the Chorus*
Chorus:
C G C G
There was a dream and one day I could see it
C G D C D G
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
C G C G
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
C G D C D G–D–C–Em
So Ill scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
*Intro once more, just once*
G D C Em
Theres a darkness upon you thats flooded in light
G D C Em
And in the fine print they tell you whats wrong and whats right
G D C Em
And it flies by day and it flies by night
Em D C
And Im frightened by those that dont see it
-Chorus-

Theres a darkness upon me thats flooded in light

Intro
Em C G Bm
C D G x2
C D G
There was light in the room
C D G
Then you left and it was through
C D G C D G
Then the frost started in on my toes and fingertips
B7 Em
and it spread
B7 Em C G
and it spread into my heart
B7 Em
and it spread
B7 Em C G
and it spread into my heart
C D G
Then for I don’t know how long
C D G
I settled in to doing wrong
C D G
and as the wind fills the sail
C D G
came the thought to hurt myself
B7 Em
and it spread
B7 Em C G
and it spread into my home
B7 Em
and it spread
B7 Em C G
and it spread into my song
Bm Em C G
where there are no lines
Bm Em C G Bm C D G
separating the truth from the lies
C D G
Then you came back from space
C D G
with a brand new laugh and a different face
C D G
You took my hand and held it up
C D G
and shot my arm full of love
B7 Em
and it spread
B7 Em C G
and it spread into my home
B7 Em
and it spread
B7 Em C G
and it spread into my song
Bm Em C G
where there are no lines
Bm Em C G Bm C D G
separating the truth from the lies

6. Ten Thousand Words
Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 2 or 7
Tabbed By: Dvphilisophe & Jamuel24 (arranged to lyrics by Macheeoo)
(This tab has two guitars playing, one in standard 变调夹夹2品 and the other
standard 变调夹夹7品. () = 变调夹夹7品 Chord)
D(G) C(F)
Ten thousand words swarm around my head
G(C) D(G) C(F) G(C)
Ten million more in books written beneath my bed
D(G) C(F) G(C)
I wrote or read them all when searchin’ in the swarms
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Still can’t find out how to hold my hands
D(G) C(F) G(C)
And I know you need me in the next room over
D(G) C(F) G(C)
But I am stuck in here all paralyzed
D(G) C(F)
For months I got myself in ruts
G(C) D(G) C(F) G(C)
Too much time spent in mirrors framed in yellow walls
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Ain’t it like most people? I’m no different
D(G) C(F) G(C)
We love to talk on things we don’t know about
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Ain’t it like most people? I’m no different
D(G) C(F) G(C)
We love to talk on things we don’t know about
D(G) C(F) G(C)
And everyone around me shakes their head in disbelief
D(G) C(F) G(C)
And says I’m too caught up
D(G) C(F)
They say young is good and old is fine
G(C)
And truth is cool but all that matters
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Is that you have your good times
D(G) C(F)
But their good times come with prices
G(C) D(G) C(F) G(C)
And I can’t believe it when I hear the jokes they make
D(G) C(F) G(C)
At anyone’s expese except their own
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Would they laugh if they knew who paid?
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Ain’t it like most people? I’m no different
D(G) C(F) G(C)
We love to talk on things we don’t know about
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Ain’t it like most people? I’m no different
D(G) C(F) G(C)
We love to talk on things we don’t know about
D(G) C(F)
And after we are through ten years
G(C) D(G) C(F) G(C)
Of making it to be the most of glorious day dues
D(G) C(F)
I’ll come back home without my things
G(C) D(G) C(F) G(C)
‘Cause the clothes I wore out there I will not wear ’round you
D(G) C(F) G(C)
And they’ll be quick to point out our short-commings
D(G) C(F) G(C)
And how the experts all have had their doubts
D(G) C(F) G(C)
Ain’t it like most people? I’m no different
D(G) C(F) G(C)
We love to talk on things we don’t know about
