Xanax

Chords and lyrics for Xanax by Maria Taylor

F#m 

 

F#m 

Afraid of an airplane

D 

Of a car swerving in the lane

E 

Of a dark cloud too low

F#m 

Or being swept away by the undertow

F#m 

Of a building tumbling down

D 

Of the train when it’s underground

E 

Of the icy mountain roads

F#m 

We have to take to get to the show

D 

 

F#m 

 

F#m 

There’s just a time when we must all let go  

D 

the 

 

brea

A 

th that we hold

F#m 

F#m 

There’s just a time when we must all let go  

D 

the 

 

brea

A 

th that we hold

F#m 

F#m 

You know, the unknown we have  

D 

to let go

 

F#m 

 

F#m 

Afraid when the phone rings

D 

Another breath of life has ceased

F#m 

It seems it’s just lost so eas

E 

ily

F#m 

Afraid my heart, it beats too slow

D 

Or that I died and just didn’t know

E 

Or of a fate I will have to choose

E 

And I’m afraid of how much I love you

D 

 

F#m 

 

D 

 

F#m 

There’s just a time when we must all let go  

D 

the 

 

brea

A 

th that we hold

F#m 

F#m 

There’s just a time when we must all let go  

D 

the 

 

brea

A 

th that we hold

F#m 

F#m 

You know, the unknown we have  

D 

to let go

 

F#m 

It’s just now that I’ve found a p

D 

lace where I can breathe

The Ballad Of Sean Foley

Posted on April 26, 2012 by admin

Chords and lyrics for The Ballad Of Sean Foley by Maria Taylor

F 

Fell down from your haven.

C 

To an empire cityscape.

Dm 

Someone asked him for directions.

C 

He would always know the way.

F 

Offer you his raincoat.

C 

Let you hide under his hat.

Dm 

If you can’t walk from whiskey.

C 

He’ll just throw you on his back.

 

Am 

And

F 

then away you’ll go.

Am 

Thr

F 

ough the crowd gathered below.

Am 

To 

 

 

C 

the spinning wheels.

Am 

Of 

 

 

C 

your mobile home.

Dm 

And he’ll watch you sleep.

 

Li

C 

ke a guardian angel.

 

F 

Stays inside the music.

C 

Sometimes steps outside the law.

Dm 

Always in the name of justice.

C 

Still believes in the lost cause.

F 

Distract you with a story.

C 

Always tries to make you laugh.

Dm 

He brings people together.

C 

Like Gertrude Stein and Mama Cass.

 

Am 

And

F 

he says, “My friends are yours,

Am 

Thi

F 

s town’s full of open doors

Am 

To 

 

 

C 

the sold-out shows,

Am 

Eig

C 

hth 

 

bungalows,

Dm 

And the lonesome smokes,

 

In

C 

this tiny studio.”

 

F 

Alw

Am 

ays finds a muse.

F 

Eve

Am 

rywhere he goes.

F 

Whe

Am 

ther it’s the blues.

F 

Or 

 

 

Am 

so

Dm 

me abandoned showtune.

 

F 

Learned how to be selfless,

C 

How to love what wasn’t there,

Dm 

But never dwell upon it.

C 

Just embrace what’s everywhere.

F 

People busking in the subway.

C 

Mc’s freestyle in the park.

Dm 

Heard a kid from martha’s vineyard,

C 

Made him turn around his car.

 

Am 

And

F 

away he goes

Am 

To 

 

 

F 

the local radio

Am 

Say

C 

ing, “What’s that sound?

Am 

I’d

C 

like to know,

Dm 

And this might sound strange,

 

Bu

C 

t I just can’t let it go.”

 

F 

Gue

every sinner needs a saint.
