Give Another Turn To The Screw Intro: C Em7 Am7 G x4 C Em7 Am7 G I can see the pleasure C Em7 Am7 G You get from hurting yourself C Em7 Am7 G And from finding the right choice of words C Em7 Am7 G That you know will torture me Relationships built on sand With dishonesty holding it together as one A perfect formula for a wasted life Where sins flow like the morning rain. So... Dm F C Dm Give another turn to the screw Am G F G As you put me down again Am C G Dm You want me to take more Am G F G Turn the screw again and again You know how weak I am inside And the guilt that makes me your pawn You know I haven’t got the strength to run And the best I can hope for is oblivion Chorus Dm F C G You’ll learn it aint just me thats counting Dm F Am The days till I escape into the grave C G Dm F We’re all going to face hell or redemption C G Am We’re all going to face our judgement day Chorus etc

Your Big Heart Broke Intro: Em D Am x 2, Em C G F Em Am7 Em7 Bb F Mixed emotions, not knowing what is right, Am7 Em7 Bm7 Am7 Split devotions, afraid what might happen Em7 If I get it wrong Afraid to catch, the sadness in your eyes Easier to believe, it's someone else's life And I've got to be strong Bm7 Em7 Bm7 Em7 When you said, that it would work out fine Bm7 Am7 Em7 Am I began to worry, this might be the time... Chorus: Em D Am Your big heart broke Em D Am Your big heart broke Em C G Your big heart broke and I'd be left F Em To pick up the pieces Trying to learn, to play like a child, Do all the things, you never had the time to do When you were young Trying to keep, a hold on the past Failing to make, the mem'ries last Until the setting sun When you found, two ends would never meet The hope ran out, noone could stop the night...

Life Goes On Intro: Dm Gm Bb C F C Gm C Dm Gm Waking everyday, Bb C See the light streaming in F C Wondering what the morning will bring Gm C And what’s the point of anything Bb C But if I’m up or down F C Makes no difference to the last Dm Am Cos the clock just keeps on ticking Dm G Like the beating of my heart. And... Bb C Life goes on Bb C Yeh it just keeps rolling on Dm G Like a drunk staggering down the road Dm C Where I’m going no one knows Dm-Am G Yeh life goes on Sleeping every night Feel the peace within the dark Hoping to attain that nothingness That comes when ego gives it a rest But if my dreams are sweet Makes no difference when I rise Cos I know I’ll wake to another grey dawn With the same old memories in my mind Chorus Chorus instr Eb Bb Who can plot my path Cm Gm With the wind blowing side to side Eb Bb Who cares if I fall in a ditch Gm Am We all know life can be a bitch Chorus etc

The Old Highway Intro: Dm7 Gm7 x4 Dm7 Gm7 etc This aint no Bates Motel Ma’s still kicking strong But the shadows are growing long On this side of town Formica turns to grey The neon’s lost its shine Noone’s gonna sip no wine In the Buddy Holly bar F Dm7 And the old highway Am7 Is gathering moss Dm7 Bb Its been awhile since anyone crossed F C The old highway I’m waiting for that senorita Who’s car’s spitting steam Who’ll give me a look that’s lean And stay the night I’ll fry up some steaks Put new candles on the sills Play music from the hills And wear my Sunday school smile And the old highway Will sing again Here’s a place to hide from the rain On the old highway Verse instrumental Bb Dm7 There’s a chill in the air Gm7 Dm7 And the wind’s blowing hard F Dm7 The till is empty Am7 Like my backroad heart And the old highway Aged another year There aint no jamboree here On the old highway Yeh the old highway Is closed for the night And the brushwood sails like a kite On the old highway
