Warrior

He means to ride me on He sees a battle he don't want to face alone I bolt upwards and shake him off my back He falls to his knees, on to a bloody track Well I can't be your horse any more You're not the warrior I've been looking for I see what you mean to do with me I cannot protect you from who you want to be Go face the Lord on your own You have my love but it will not make you grow I can't be your horse anymore You're not the warrior I would die for He fearing solitude, began to beg When he saw I was sure, stuck a knife into my leg Good luck walking on in your own bloody trail This noble path you're on will send us both to hell I'm just a horse on the moor Where is my warrior I've been looking for? I stumble some way on, licking my sores Tasting the memory of pain I have endured Wondering where am I to go? Well looking back on a bloody trail, you think that I should know But I'm just a horse with no name Somewhere there is other beasts who think the same I'm just a horse with no name Some place there's some other beasts who think the same One morning I awoke to someone calling me A priestess I'd seen once in some arcana dream And she pulled an orange from the ground Is this my warrior? I am found I'm just a horse with no name Where are my other beasts who think the same? I'm just a horse on the moor Where is the warrior I've been looking for?

A storm hits the city and the lights go out before I can prepare The whole of downtown looks dark like no one lives there We share an apartment on the Upper West Side And my worst problem is I don't sleep at night Woman downstairs just lost her mind And I don't care how, I sure don't care why Why I know false hope Why I know false hope
C

She'll be alright tomorrow Neither of us is gonna sleep tonight So it'll come slow I hear you baying through the wall A dying animal's last call
Is it still OK that I don't know how to be at all? There's a party uptown but I just don't feel like I belong at all, do I? We stay in the apartment on the upper west side And my worst problem is I don't sleep at night Woman downstairs just lost her mind And I don't care how, I surely don't care why Why I know false hope Why I know false hope

Walk Alone

Tuning: DADDAD
I think you were wrong You said I can't love I was put upon this earth Not by any God or master To know you somehow In some bar someday I would see your face I don't believe this shit I was doing fine without it Now I can't walk alone I can't walk alone I just need a little more time I just need a little more highs I just need a little something from you Baby, I was born to love I was born to love I was put upon this earth I was doing fine without it Now I can't walk alone I can't walk alone


Strange

Tuning: DADDAD
I know you love your children I know you love your wife I know you set yourself up to live the simple life You get it all and you realize You haven't opened up your eyes Since you were young and it's so bright When you try to take it all in And realize you can't begin again You wonder how you keep moving I can offer you so little help But just accept the hands that you've been dealt Do your best to be a good man Do you know how hard that is? Do you know how strange life can be? Well you love me and I know that We can't let a precious thing go I don't love you like you love me I'm pretty sure that you know Just try and bring meaning to all things And when you try to take it in No one wants to be alone But should you fall in love with me Your love becomes my responsibility And I can never do you wrong Do you know how hard that is? Do you know how strange I love you? No I do not believe we were born equally Wanna know what I see? Those who do good will be treated accordingly I know you love your children I know you love your wife I know you set your self up to live the simple life You've got it all and you realize You haven't opened up those eyes Since you were young and it's so bright When if you try to take it all in And realize you can't begin again You must keep moving I can offer you so little help But just accept the hands that you've been dealt And your best to be a good man Do you know how hard that is? Yes I know how strange life can be

Easy

Capo:

Mmm, you fell asleep Listening to me Linger on About how it used to be In the backseat When we were young When we were young When we were young Mmm, my oldest friend You know me then You know me now How did I get lost Looking for God in Santa Cruz? Where you go to lose your mind Well I went too far this time When we were young When we were young We belonged to someone and that was easy Mmm, I've got us lost So I've turned us off In Joshua Tree Mmm, you're my oldest friend So I know you then And you know me It was a bit too high for me I spent a month thinking I was a high desert tree When we were young When we were young We belonged to someone and that was easy Well you can't be lost if you're not on your own Well you can't be found if you're not all alone Well you can't get lost if you're not on your own Well you can't be found if you're not all alone When we were young When we were young We belonged to someone and that was easy

Don't be alarmed, darkness can't do you harm, fear will hurt you
And outside, if wind is beating a tree to a bed Don't fear that it might be meeting some untimely end They do what they're supposed to, but they have been known to Stand strong and tall, weather it all, take what you can Never give orders just to be obeyed Never consider yourself or others without knowing that you'll change It may not surprise you, but pride has been known to Rise up a storm, countless lives lost at the hands of pride and I'll fall

You can't see it, it might be behind you, keep those eyes wide
Don't be impressed by strong personalities Sincere words are rarely sickly sweet But if they fool you, which they have been known to Don't lose your sight, know something's not right, and look at the stars Be wary of being given a name If for some reason you're not considered the same Once they name you, they have been known to Lock you in statistical sin they'd rather ignore

How Can I?

We've been riding up mountains Turning corners in our lives We would have taken any buses Headed for Telluride
But we stopped in the desert in the middle of the night And looked to the stars from the old roadsides You look at me and said, "Look at the moon Take it in, it will be gone soon" I'm taking more risks now I'm stepping out of line I put up my fists now Until I get what's mine It should have been you but it was anyone You see I never miss my chance to run I will go anywhere with you I will go when you ask me to How will I live without you? How will I live? Well I wrote you a letter Posted out of central LA Now if you ever come through here Won't you come take me away It could have been you but it was anyone You see I never miss my chance to run And I would go anywhere with you I will go when you ask me to How can I live without you? How can I live? I'm going back East Where I belong Where I belong I'm going back East Where I belong Where I belong But how will I live without you? How can I live? How can I live without you? How can I live?
