Godsmack – Running Blind

by Stan Livshin on Mar.28, 2010, under Guitar

C – 032033

INTRO: Play Em, D, C 4x

Em             D       C
Can’t find the answers
Em                 D     C
I’ve been crawling on my knees
Em          D        C
Looking for anything
Em              D        C
To keep me from drowning
Em       D         C         Em
Promises have been turned to lies
           D     C     Em
Can’t even be honest inside
                D       C
Now I'm running backwards
Em          D         C      A   B
watching my life wave me goodbye
A          B
im Running blind
A       B
running blind
G                F               Em
Somebody help me see I’m running blind

Searching for nothing
Wondering if I’ll change
I’m trying everything
But everything still stays the same
I thought if I showed you I could fly
Wouldn’t need anyone by my side
Now I'm running backwards
With broken wings I know I’ll die

(CHORUS)

Running blind
Running blind
Running blind

(same chords as verse)
I can’t find the answers
I’ve been crawling on my knees
Looking for anything
To keep me from drowning
I’m running blind

Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind

ДДТ – Осень

by Stan Livshin on Mar.28, 2010, under Guitar

  Am      E           Am
Что такое осень? Это небо
  A7                 Dm
Плачущее небо под ногами
   Dm         E       Am         F
В лужах разлетаются птицы с облаками
Dm           E          Am       A7
Осень, я давно с тобою не был.
  Dm          E       Am         F
В лужах разлетаются птицы с облаками
Dm           E          Am       E
Осень, я давно с тобою не был.

	Am        F     Dm       E
	Осень. В небе жгут корабли
	Am       F      Dm         E
	Осень. Мне бы прочь от земли
	 Dm         E    Am      F
	Там, где в море тонет печаль
	Dm             E
	Осень, темная даль.

Что такое осень? Это камни
Верность над чернеющей невою
Осень, вновь напомнила душе о самом главном  \  2 раза
Осень, я опять лишен покоя.                  /

	Припев

Что такое осень? Это ветер
Вновь играет рваными цепями
Осень, доползем ли, долетим ли до ответа,
Что же будет с Родиной и с нами.
Осень, доползем ли, долетим ли до рассвета?
Осень, что же будет завтра с нами.

	Припев          (Optional: Проигрыш = 2 припевам. Припев)

	Тает стаей город во мгле
	Осень, что я знал о тебе
	Сколько буде рваться листва
	Осень вечно права.

Кода: Am | F | Dm | E     > 2 раза
      Am

World Champion – Judah Friedlander

by Stan Livshin on Jan.05, 2010, under Poetry

 Written by M.A.K.

A mouth full of daggers
With words like slow poison
Ideas that snake into my mind
Weapons you’re not aware of
Lethal

Different
Nothing about you makes sense
You’re not common
Just a  mess of unintentional contradictions
Pulling me close

You speak in dizzying circles
And I have nothing to hold
But you

Pink Floyed – High Hopes

by Stan Livshin on Dec.10, 2009, under Guitar

Cm            Cm7           Ab                              Cm
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
Cm7                 Ab
In a world of magnets and miracles
Cm                      Cm7               Ab
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
Cm                   Cm7                 Ab
The ringing of the division bell had begun

Bb            G7
Along the long road and on down the causeway
Ab             Bb            G7
Do they still meet there by the cut

(same chord sequence for other verses)

There was a ragged band who followed in our footsteps
Running before times took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

Ab              Cm    Gm Ab
The grass was greener
Bb                 Cm  Eb Fm
The light was brighter
Ab              Cm   Gm  Ab
When friends surrounded
Bb               Cm   Eb Fm
The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some sleeping tide

at a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
Theres a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road I’ve been so many times

(same sequence as in first chorus )
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever…

Dropkick Murphys – State of Massachusetts

by Stan Livshin on Nov.20, 2009, under Music

she had excuses and she chose to use them
she was the victim of unspeakable abuses
her husband was violent, malicious and distant
her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts!
they’ve been taken away!
they’ve been taken away!
billy was the bright one
tommy’s off his head
mother loved them both the same,at least thats what she said
i don’t predict the future, i don’t care about the past
send them both to DSS, now you had your chance
the posion took your babies
the judges took your rights
you can have your children or the night!
I supposed youve been a victim
though i suspect you may have lied
have you lost all ambition why don’t you give this thing a try
if you can’t and you fail won’t be the only loser
these kid don’t stand a chance with you in their future!
they’ve been taken away!
they’ve been taken away!

G        D              F               C
  In the bars where the men who play guitars sit there
  drinking and remembering the times.

  My little lover does a midnight shift
  She fools around all of the time. [Fill]

G                 D              F              C
  I guess there's just one thing left for me to do
  I'm gonna pack my bags and go on my way.

           G             D            F                  C
  'Cause I got a worried mind sharing what I thought was mine
  Gonna leave her when the guitars play...

[Chorus]

G G   F F   C
..............I got a woman, she won't be true no no.

G G   F F   C
..............I got a woman wanna ball all day.

G G   F F   C

Borderline

by Stan Livshin on Nov.02, 2009, under Poetry

i walk upon this borderline of nothing
the nothing that i felt since early days
please don’t forget that i was all alone
and nothing more i seek than you and
nothing more i seek than holding on to
something real and something to feel
and call my own and nothing can replace
this guilt of doing something wrong
of being left alone and being nothing
to no one and everything i didn’t want
to know so don’t remind me of what
i am so don’t remind me of what i am not
because i am not nothing i am not no one
i am not just someone that came along
i am not someone who randomly dropped by
the fire warmth i am someone who walks this life
of feeling nothing more and nothing less
of being nothing to no one i am the one that feels
i am nothing more than walking past of past this borderline

“tell myself”

by Stan Livshin on Oct.05, 2009, under Poetry

Written by Kathleen Sarnes

I’m just going to tell myself you are gone
overseas fighting a war or making one
and pretend our life was a wonderful dream
a dream where I saw your radiant visage
and felt you hold me if only for a moment
only to disappear once again
becoming one with the horizon
I woke up clutching the frayed remnants
of the memory of the last time I felt you
I’m just going to tell myself you are gone
up in space or trying desperately to find some
because Earth is slowly suffocating you
gallivanting across the cosmos
discovering new and wonderful things
about the world and about yourself
I woke up alone but knew it was okay
because you sent the softest, hardest kiss to me
on a moonbeam and it traveled faster than
millions of light years per second
and landed precisely on my crimson coated lips
before you even thought to kiss them
I’m just going to tell myself you’re gone
and pretend but a transient spirit was here
and told me it’s not you it’s me
and vanished into some other distant
realm of existence that I might one day know
if I am lucky enough to gain such entitlement
I woke up surrounded in soft red blankets
that mirrored how I bleed inside for you
how I long to take away all that ails you
how I would in no wise allow you to feel such pain
had I the power to alter anything it would be that
even if I had to take it on myself forever
I’m just going to tell myself your gone
Exploring the depths under pacific waves and tsunamis
Naming new fish after me and after my smile
The one you know only you have created
I woke up and though I told myself you’re gone
I still knew you were not and all at once
I realized that for the first time I could not fool myself
And live in some convoluted lack of reality
No matter how many times my brain lies
And says you are in a million cities or states
My heart knows where you really are
Because you’re in it.
