1. MY OWN DEVICE
Am Am7
How did it come so far?
Em
How did I lose it all?
Am Am7
No-one else to blame

I put myself through this hell

It only takes a second,

to change your world

And the friends you lose,
Em
will never return.

But I lost it all,
Am Em
left to my own device.
Am Am7
Forgivness cant be bought,
Em
by the richest man.
Am Am7
But deciept can be sold,
Em
by the bearer's hand.
Am Am7
All the regrets in the world,
Em
wont solve anything.
Am Am7
Depression's holding the hand,
Em
of a child called sin.
Ch.
I wish I had no memories,
of the things I've done.
Im not running away,
im just overcome.
I wish I could see,

Am Am7
It only took a second,
Em
to change my world
Am Am7
And the friendship I've lost,
Em
will never return.

with a coldness in my heart.

Sweet Massachusettes, I want to see it again
D C G
I want to be there again.
D C
but it's hard when you're banished three thousand
G
miles away.
Dont get me wrong I love the country I come from
and my roots I'd never want to change.
But it was in the U-S of A that I finally found my way
a steady road I walked on.
All the bills I could not pay, so they sent me away,
and now all I think of is-
Sweet Massachusettes, I want to see her again
I want to feel it again.
but it's hard when you're banished three thousand
miles away.
{Bridge} Am C G
Am D7 G
Now my girl waits for me, hoping someday for my return.
but it seems so far away.
I hate to put her through this pain, to hear her cry on the line
I cannot comfort her of hold her hand.
I cant stand this hell, I might as well be in jail,
if I'm not with her.
My soul companion I did meet, when I lived on Bostons streets
I've got to get back somehow....to
Sweet Massachusettes, I want to hold her again
I've got to hold her again.
I need to see her again, I want to love her again. ect ect..
but it's hard when you're banished three thousand
miles away
3. I NEED YOUR LOVE

Without breathing a word you say to me.

6. SMILE OF SADNESS
C D Em
I know that you've been doing well,
C D Em
and I know you've got you so called "friends",
C D Em
but buisness suits and ties were'nt for me.
C Am B7
I always went for what I thought was real.
C D Em
When we were young nothing seperated us,
C D Em
to be together was just about enough.
C D Em
But our lives changed, different paths we chose,
C Am B7
now we meet again and our difference shows.
C D Em
Once were all my reasons and all my dreams,
C D Em
my beginning, my eternity,
C D Em
but when expected to hold up to the grade,
C Am B7
I never knew how to be king.
(Chorus)
C D Em C D Em
But dont confuse my position, cause it wont change today,
C D Em C Am B7
feelings are on exhibition, years ago feel like yesterday,
C D Em
and I my youth I learned a lession,
C D Em
dont miss a chance for a kiss.
C D Em C
Please dont confuse my expression, cause its a smile,
Am Em
but it a smile...of sadness
{same as before}
Saw the face of a child,
stare at the stars in the sky at night.
She was filled with wonder, overflowed with awe
I wished that I could see what she saw.
Then I turn to you, with your tearful eyes
as you sing a songs saddest lines
"It's when confusion is understood, I once was love,
It once was good".
So dont confuse my position, cause it wont change today,
feelings are on exhibition, years ago feel like yesterday,
and I my youth I learned a lession,
dont miss a chance for a kiss.
Please dont confuse my expression, cause its a smile,
but it a smile...of sadness

What are these thoughts inside my head?
Em G D
they are steamrolling my soul
C G D
and my friends are out of touch,
C G D
they wouln'nt even know.
Br.

I took a trip across the river, and ended up more confused
G C G C
I saw my life die, then re-enter a different time,

3. PARALIZED
Em A5
Cluthing reasons of reality,
Em A5
You told me often about insanity,
C G C G A5
but it's alright, to my mind, to glide with me
I cry, conceed then lye on my back,
easy life and times are what I lack.
It's time for me, to relieve my inner dreams.-------Em G A5 Dsus2 x4 (double speed)
(faster)
Em A5
Come out, come in dont be a stranger,
Em A5
get dowm, get up dont fear the danger,
C G C G A5
of a free mind, not many try to understand.
Inevitibly evidence is produced,
the strange cracks of time are reduced,
when the breath of life, takes a sigh inwardly.-----Em G A5 Dsus2 x4
My constant battle with identidy,
is like a wind in a vacuum breeze,
The red stop light is shining bright
Never green.
Go through the motions of habitual lives
rejecting notions of a better time.
Why cant you see, this is not for me?
Im paralized.
Cluthing reasons of reality,
you told me often about insanity.
but it's alright, to my mind, to side with me.
4. RIDE ON
(INTRO)
Em D C D Em D C D
Like a shotgun, the night's split with indecision.

G D Em
The war is with ourselves,
G D/F# Em D C D
so ride on , right on -Yeah.
There's a thorn through,
American civilization.
With the fools who, cry for segregation.
If these ignorant and selfish fucking people,
were to leave us,
We'd see how much we didn'nt need them.
Oh--- we're all the same anyway
Dont matter how many games we play
The walls will all fall away,
So ride on, right on--yeah

dont matter how much money we spend.
The war is within ourselves,
so ride on , right on ,ride on......ect ect

Now we've been to the bottom.
I give you everything,

I can't find what's wrong,
If you always hide.
Fmaj7 Ab Am - G - D/F# --Fadd9- Gadd11
And now she is holding my soul.
6. LIFE ROLLERCOASTER
12 Bar Blues on Verses
A
Twenty Years ago, remember I first spoke
D
I Layed down the law, told them just what I thought
E D E
My mother said "Boy, youll be a man, just keep your eyes open, do the best that you can"
A
Well fifteen years ago I was still a child.
D
I thought the whole world lived in my town.
E
I was happy playing football, It was my high,
D E
and I learned who my friends were and who to fight.
A
Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down
G
Shakes my nerves, spins my head around
F
Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees
D
I dont know were I'm going
E A
I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.
Oh. Ten years ago I was thirteen,
Got my first taste of lovin' if you know what I mean
She showed me hers, I showed her mine
I thought "what have I been doing all this time"
Well five years ago you know I was eighteen
The first girl I loved, I thought that it was a dream
Her first name was Kerry, her second was Anne
I thought it was forever, but she let me down
Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down
Shakes my nerves, spins my head around
Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees
I dont know were I'm going
I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.
Well two years ago, things had to change
So I jumped on a plane and headed for the States
Gorgeous woman everywhere, the sun always shines
I knew that I was gonna have the time of my life
But now Its today and nothings really changed
I still drink too much, I cant pay the bills.
As for understanding woman, I still have no clue
You know I think I knew more when I was two. Oh look out.
Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down
Shakes my nerves, spins my head around
Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees
I dont know were I'm going
I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.
