ANCHORS AWAY
Chords: G D C
Anchors Away yes I'm so glad to say
and I'll tell you a story my friend
yes it's not over for you yes this I know true
and this is not the end
You see I'm leaving I'm leaving the sunny side of town
So I can pick you up when ever you fall down
and somethings never change and I think that's kind of strange
when I have hurled all my worries in the sea with missing out
and throw all my problems away
so anchors away yes i”m so glad to say
and I'll tell you a story my friend
yes it's not over for you yes this I know true
and this is not the end
yes this is not the end it's just the beginning

TURNS OUT YOUR PERFECT FOR ME
Chords: E B A
Turns out you're perfect for me
In all the silly ways I thought you'd never be
Turns out you're perfect for me
I wanted a guy covered in tattoos
But I learned some of them have mommy issues
Turns out you're perfect for me
Well I wanted a girl and I got to choose
Went all around the country you're the one I couldn't lose
Turns out you're perfect for me
Chorus
Turns out you're perfect for me
Cause you scratch my back when it's itchy
You're gentle and kind when I'm bitchy
Turns out you're perfect for me
Chorus
Told him that I like Old Spice
But he didn't wanna take me old fashioned advice
That's before I learned what it could do
Now I recommend it to you
I didn't think it was punk rock to sing with a girl who had dreadlocks
But what did I know.... now she steals the show!
Turns out you're perfect for me

RECIPE
Chords: D A G
When you are trying to cook
Sometimes you use a recipe book
But theres danger in the air
if there's ingredients to spare
your common sense has been overtook
There's a science to cooking that less of us know
If you're not experienced then stick to the show
Leavening is tricky, so is substitution
My recommendation is lets make a resolution
Follow the recipe the first time that you do it,
After you do that you can add things to it.
Follow the recipe the first time that you do it
After some practice there's nothing to it!
When you are trying to cook
Sometimes you use a recipe book
If you don't have what you need
Be sure to stop and read
You'll find a helpful chart if you look
Bananas and Flax meal will substitute eggs
Accurate measurements the recipe begs
Timing is important, when mixing a solution
My recommendation is lets make a resolution
Follow the recipe the first time that you do it
After you do that you can add things to it
Follow the recipe the first time that you do it
After some practice there's nothing to it!

LOVING YOU
Chords: Am G A
She likes the songs that I don't like
She likes the songs that I don't like
She likes the songs that I don't like and I love her yes I love her
When we were first friends
We had these arguments about who was more punk rock
But things are different now
We've learned to get along and how to let things go
Truth is we're different
And it's not unusual to have to sit and talk for a while
Some of it's circumstance
Like she's from the East Coast and he's from the West Coast
But truly we were made differently
So in conclusion I guess were growing up and changing priorities
Because loving you means everything from me
So we'll sing songs that we both like
Yes we'll sing songs that we both like
Yes we'll sing songs that we both like
Loving you means everything from me
Loving you means everything from me
Loving you means everything from me

WHITE FLAG
Chords: A D Em
If it's true that this would happen before even time began then I guess I'll just surrender because I'm doing all I can
Yes in vain I've risen early just to stumble home to late
ignoring all the factors that determine my fate
I'm gonna raise the white flag
I'm gonna raise the black flag too
I'm gonna raise the white flag
and sing this song for you
you see these words they are not weapons
but these streets brew honesty
and we're all soldiers a journey
yes we're all pilgrims you and me
so may all fear be forgotten as the memories fade away
may the whole world join us in this song as we dance on yesterday

HIS LIPS ARE SEAL HALLELUJAH
Chords: E G A B
We had a show in Astoria I screamed and sang until I lost my voice
But instead of choosing to save his throat
So he could play the show in Seattle that night
He sang these words, he sang these words,he sang these words and he wouldn't shut up
His lips are sealed hallelujah, His lips are sealed hallelujah
His lips are sealed, his lips are sealed
His lips are sealed hallelujah
I learned early on in this relationship that I like quiet
more than I like to admit, waking up slowly and reading and eating
Breakfast is how I start the day
And if as in some mocking tone
He just won't leave me alone
Sometimes I wish he would go outside
Or that I had some place to hide
But I always, always have to say “Could you please just stop talking?”
His lips are sealed hallelujah ,His lips are sealed hallelujah
His lips are sealed, his lips are sealed
His lips are sealed hallelujah
But truth is I love to communicate
I like to talk early and I like to talk late truth is like to communicate with you
So sometimes I wake up in the morning and I won't shut up - His lips are sealed hallelujah
Sometimes I think I can't say enough
His lips are sealed hallelujah
Truth is you inspire me, like a poet without an editor
Sometimes I spill my words out on top of her
Late at night when I'm asleep (the only time I don't hear him peep)
She smiles and she softly sings with joy
His lips are sealed hallelujah, His lips are sealed hallelujah
His lips are sealed, his lips are sealed
His lips are sealed hallelujah

Despite It All

DESPITE IT ALL
Chords: G C D
Strangely I'm feeling complicated about the rhythms and the chords
lately I'm feeling so conflicted about the things that I absorb
lately I'm realizing I'm no better off it's true
when I hold things more tightly than I need to
I have spent too many hours staring toward the wall
hoping in my strength I could make my demons fall
but consequences, circumstances, and perceptions just bring strife
and handcuff all my dreams and kill my quality of life
but I believe things can be different
I believe that we can change
yes I believe we never have to stay the same
Strangely it seems like my life is never slowing down
But I'm getting more at ease when she's around
I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to or fear the day
when she can stay at home and I not feel like I've walked away
see my priorities have shifted and I ever am so glad
because I am becoming less selfish and I'm dropping all my fads
but consequences, circumstances, and perceptions still bring strife
and handcuff all my dreams and kill my quality of life
but I believe things can be different
I believe that we can change
yes I believe we never have to stay the same
(you see)
this body could be a Bible if a bike could be a bomb
and there's nothing better than to find where you belong
come old friend let us reason together
come old friend let us reason let us reason today
despite it all I still believe in you
despite it all I still believe you're true

SMILE

Don't know how I'm gonna let it go
B A
Don't think I want the whole world to know
E D B A
I'm still full of insecurity trying to get over what you did to me
E D B A
Whether it was real or fake, perception rules the life you make
E D B A
I still fight invalidity, trying to get over what I did receive
E B A E
Smile, my friend, this is the end, o' this is the end
E D B A
I've said my goal is resolution so we present a real solution
E D B A
Please forgive my judgment, please forgive my presumption
E D B A
Please forgive me when I know not what I've done
E D B A
Despite the facts we look past the consequences
E D B A
We draw a line & we choose to love
E D B A
And if fire comes as a result of these actions
E D B A
I say let it burn, let it burn, let it burn
E B A E
Smile, my friend, this is the end, o' this is the end
We can be filled, be filled tonight
When release our heavy burdens and give up this brutal fight
E B A E
Smile, my friend, this is the end, o' this is the end

We spent most of that night not quite kissing

Truth is we were on the swing set in the park

Then the do crept up and ruined our conversation

Hold my hand and we'll glow in the dark together
E B
Hold my hand like you've never held another
E A E
Hold my hand and we'll glow in the dark together
E B
Hold my hand like you've never held another
E A
And a few months later we watched End of the Century

And I put my arm on the back of your chair

You had nutritional yeast on your popcorn

And I thought you might of figured out I cared

Hold my hand and we'll glow in the dark together

Hold my hand like you've never held another

Hold my hand and we'll glow in the dark together

Hold my hand like you've never held another

A few years later you started the grandma's house

And you said I could not move in

Because somewhere deep inside of both our hearts

We knew we could just not be friends

Hold my hand and we'll glow in the dark together
E B
Hold my hand like you've never held another

Hold my hand and we'll glow in the dark together

SUFFER
E A E B
When I back away from you sometimes that's not what I should do
E A E
Sometimes there are some things we should talk through
E A E B
Like when we thought the tsunami would hit the coast all we told were awkward jokes
E A E
And skipped the chanced to talk about real life
E A E B
Cause I need to suffer the consequences and you need to suffer the consequences
E A B
We all suffer for not loving someone
E A E B
Pray tell you’ve heard analogy of the boy you burn himself on the stove
E A E
And never ever touches it again
E A E B
Or maybe you were just like me and you burned your coat and your best friend
E A E
And never want to go back their again
E A E B
Cause I need to suffer the consequences and you need to suffer the consequences
E A B
We all suffer for not loving someone
E A E B
Cause I need to suffer the consequences and you need to suffer the consequences
E A B
We all suffer for not loving someone
E A E B
Yes one day were all gonna die and I'm hoping that the angels fly
E A E
When the bombs they drop on us from the sky
E A E B
Well it probably will not be Iraqies but someone we sold bomb to
E A E
Look at the troubles we've gotten ourselves into
E A E B
Cause I need to suffer the consequences and you need to suffer the consequences

We all suffer for not loving someone

PARDON SONG
F# C#
You might ride a fix gear and I'll ride a mountain bike
B F# C# F#
You might ride toward the moon but I'll rocket out of sight
F# C#
But in the end it doesn't matter know in the end we are just fools
B F# C# F#
If we haven't made a lot of friends and broken a few rules
F# C#
You might like your paint job but I really like my breaks
B F# C# F#
Because sometimes we need to slow down and learn from our mistakes
F# C#
But in the end it doesn't matter in the end we are just fools
B F# C# F#
If we haven't made a lot of friends and broken a few rules
F# C#
So I guess in this conclusion well this is a pardon song
B F# C# F#
To wave goodbye to all our fears and find where we belong
F# C#
And as a benediction I pray that you find peace
B F# C# F#
And hope and resolution with the lover and the least
F# C#
But in the end it doesn't matter in the end we are just fools
B F# C# F#
If we haven't made a lot of friends and broken a few rules
