Set of it All

Hospital bed underneath a body that has never known love before
G G C G
Orderly says oh yeah he don’t know why it’ll take this long
G Am C
Orderly says oh yeah he don’t know why, living’s hard
G/C G/C
Be still my heart cuz it quivers enough
Riding the train
Holding all my elbows in
And watching the people blur
Trying in vain but I just don’t know why
This window’s a mirror
Trying in vain I just don’t know why, living’s hard
Be still my heart cuz it quivers enough
You know I was living
Inside of a building
Inside of city
And it had bout a million hearts
Who knows why living's hard

Once I had a suit and tie
But that was just a part of me
Gave a presentation where I
Said that you could buy just a little part of me

Spent his whole day on the lawn
And the grass it grew high
Up to god
C# sus2 Fm7 G F
Bridge
I had to go there, you know that I did
Hold on to midnight, just do it kid
I had to be there, to see if I could
Hold on to midnight, not let it go
Hold to midnight with your hands
And demand
Then the moment it came and it went
Looked down and I saw darkness in my hands
I had to live it to call myself free
I don’t remember, who said that to me
Hold on to midnight, if you please
Just don’t leave

Once Twice
Though we both know
We’ll break up at graduation
And though we both hold
No real expectations
But once, twice (i wonder)
If we had the courage
And i might just fall in love
And i feel just a bit discouraged
That we cannot rise above
The places that we’re from
Come and meet my parents
While we’re wearing cap and gown
The commencement speaker
Says our lives are starting now
Call me if you’re lonely
If you only find the time
Call me when we forget
This was the start of our lives

Verse 1
My name love
Was carried here from old Virudhachalam (long ago)
It twist tongues
And doesn’t fit on applications (you never know)
Chorus
A reference for the moonlight
I guess I’d say your eyes
A model for delight I
Guess i’d say your smile
I know it's only love
I could have it my whole life but that's not nearly long enough
Verse 2
My time here
In case it isn’t loud and clear (you never know)
Is all spent
Paying all the rent
For a name to pass along

Longest Day of the Year
Destination, a place where I can steal
Motivation, a fellas gotta heal
Permutation, i’ll do it all again
Tessellation, did you hear what i said
I’m sleeping in your yard
I’m sleeping in a car
I’m sleeping with my head ajar
No T-shirt, no service babe
Evicted, no service babe
Destination, a place where i can sleep
Motivation, can’t take another sweep
Theres no camping allowed
No car camping allowed
No poverty allowed
No T-shirt, no service babe
No shoes on, no service babe
Evicted, no service babe
No respect
I sleep in the shade at night
But i've been dreaming my whole life
I sleep in the shade at night
But i've been awake my whole life
No service babe
No T-shirt, no service babe
No shoes on, no service babe
Evicted, no service babe
No respect

Gather round for a melody
Our story’s just begun
Of a hero so bright and clear
And what he lost and won
You know that it was
Inside a packed arena
Our joust has just begun
And theres a wily veteran
Called Champion
And now our hero enters
He brings his hammer down
Upon the the wily veteran
The crowd goes wild
You know they go wild
Gather round for a melody
Our story’s just begun
Cuz its only once you’ve triumphed dear
Thats when your soul is judged
You know that its judged
Our hero loved his image
He hung a mirror up
He hired a whole division
To sing his song
And when his pride was angered
Was quick to cast aside
All of the lesser people
Who told him wrong from right
You know who was right
All of my pride
Lord forgive me
all of my lust
Lord forgive me
All of my anger
Lord forgive me
Oooo
Gather round for a melody
Our story’s just begun
