[Actually in D; capo 2.]

Am    F    G    C - G/B     Am    F    G    C
[intro]

      Am          F               G           C - G/B
I'm standing here freezing in a phone booth, baby
       Am        G           F    F
In the middle of god-knows-where
          Am          F             G         C - G/B
I've got one quarter left, your machine picks up
     Am    G             F    F
But baby I know you're there
      Dm7        Dm7              C/G      G
And I just start crying 'cause it makes no sense
   Dm7         Dm7           C/G     G           Am     F
To waste these words and twenty-five cents on a losing game
G   C - G/B  Am       F    G    C
   Ba - by, you win again

I've been turning it over and over again
Like a stone I'm waiting to wish on
I've been holding my breath, just wondering when
You'll make some sort of decision
To let me in or to let me go
I always lose if I never know where I fit in
Baby, you win again

Bb            Bb           Dm7    G
   I can't be right if I'm always wrong
     C           F          Am    Gsus - G
   I can't stand up if I'm always kneeling
Bb         Bb       Dm7     G
   At your altar or at your throne
C              F          Dm7     G      Am     F
   You could show just a little feeling for who I am
G   C - G/B  Am       F    G    C
   Ba - by, you win again

Am    F    G    C - G/B     Am    F    G    C
[guitar solo]
Am    F    G    C - G/B     Am    F    G    C

[guitar solo]
Am    F    G    C - G/B     Am    F    G    C
[guitar solo]

Last night I dreamed we were standing here
On the corner of Love and Heartache
You jumped into your car, you found first gear
And baby, I felt the earth shake
And I woke up trembling with my heart in my throat
'Cause there's never a look, a word, or a note at the bitter end
Baby, you win again

I can't be right if I'm always wrong
I can't stand up if I'm always kneeling
At your altar or at your throne
You could show just a little feeling for who I am
Baby, you win again

INTRO TAB:

Actually, this is played on an electric guitar with no capo (key of D),
but I've written it here in C with a capo at the 2nd fret.

WHY WALK WHEN YOU CAN FLY (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
-------------------------------------------------
[I've no idea how Mary Chapin Carpenter plays this song.  In concert, she
 plays it with a capo on the 7th fret.  Since the song is in B, that would
 mean she's playing in E, and the verse chords are B E A A.  She's clearly
 using a very strange tuning, because I can't for the life of me figure out
 how she's getting those chords out of the positions she uses.  Any ideas?]
[I'm going to write these chords down in the key of G, since I know that's
 where John Jennings plays them, with a capo on the 4th fret.]

In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, baby
n.c.
In this world there's a whole lot of pain
n.c.
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble
n.c.
But a whole lot of ground to gain
n.c.
Why take when you could be giving, why watch as the world goes by
n.c.
It's a hard enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly

WHERE TIME STANDS STILL (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

G      G - Gmaj7      C       C/D - D
[intro]
G      Gmaj7          C       C/D - D
[intro]

G                    G                C(9)        D(9)
  Baby, where's that place where time stands still
                  G         G                       C(9)       D7/F#
I remember like a lover can, but I forget it like a leaver will
G                       Gmaj7     C(9)     D(9)
  It's no place you can get to by yourself; you've gotta love someone and
G             Gmaj7                C(9)        D(9)
they love you;  Time will stop for nothing else

F(9)         F(9)         C/E                     C/E
Memory plays tricks on us; the more we cling, the less we trust
        F(9)               F(9)                 Am(9)           C/D   -   D
And the less we trust, the more we hurt; and as time goes on it just gets worse

G(9)                    Gmaj7            C(9)        Cm6
  So baby, where's that place where time stood still
                    G            Cm6                   G              G
Is it under glass inside a frame, was it over when you had your fill?

And the less we trust, the more we hurt; and as time goes on it just gets worse

G(9)                    Gmaj7            C(9)        Cm6
  So baby, where's that place where time stood still

[instrumental]

F(9)             F(9)             C/E         C/E
Here we are with nothing but this emptiness inside of us
  F(9)               F(9)           Am(9)              C/D  -   D
Your smile a fitting final gesture, wish I could have loved you better

G(9)                 Gmaj7            C(9)         Cm6
  Baby, where's that place where time stands still
                  G         Cm6                     G           Cm6
I remember like a lover can, but I forget it like a leaver will
                             G            Cm6
It's the first time that you held my hand, it's the smell and the
    G                            Cm6
    taste, and the feel, and the thrill
                  G          Cm6
It's everything I understand, and all the things I
     G             Gmaj7      C     Cm6     G.
    never will  [instrumental]

[Actually in F; capo 5.]
[The lines that are just F and C actually have some F(9)'s and C(9)'s in
 them; that's all spelled out at the end.]

F                       C
  She threw her purse upon the bed
F                         C
  She looked around and shook her head
F                         C
  There's really nothing left, she said
G                          C

  She wore your favorite dress tonight

Am                    F
  You don't hear what you can't use
G                       C
  It's always been the same old news
Am                   F
  You don't beg and you don't plead
G                      C
  Or miss a thing that you don't need
F                 C
  She knew by the way you kissed her
G                  C
  When she's gone, you won't miss her

F    C     F    C     F    C     G    C
[instrumental]

Morning comes on an old cat's paws
And when the sun hits the walls
The light's as bright as it ever was
After or before
And you wince as waking pounds your head
And you drag your arm across the bed
And the tangled sheets and the twisted spread
Fall onto the floor

And the kitchen table finds you silent
If you had a thought, now you can't find it
You take a long drag on your smoke
And taste your coffee growing cold
She didn't beg and you didn't plead
She knew exactly how to leave
The way she knew when you kissed her
When she's gone, you won't miss her

She didn't beg and you didn't plead
She knew exactly when to leave
The way she knew as you kissed her
When she's gone, you won't miss her

F    C     F    C     F    C     G    C
[Instrumental; repeat and fade]


   Here's the strumming pattern for most of the song.  The funny-looking
lines are musical notes.  The numbers above the notes are just the relative
durations, for the benefit of the notationally impaired.
   The first chord of each line is actually just a single note, or perhaps
just the two or three lowest strings.  The last C(9) in the first two lines
is only played sometimes; other times, it's just an eighth note at the end
of the measure, and other times there's _no_ chord after the C*.

   F: x33211 or 133211 (fret the E string with your thumb)
   F(9): x33011 or 133011 (fret the E string with your thumb)
   C(9): 330010
   C*: hammer-on (quickly) from 330010 to 332010
   C: 332010
   G: 320003
   Am: x02210

I can read your eyes just like a book

And I don't have to guess what's between the lines

So what in the world am I still

And I don't have to guess what's between the lines

So what in the world am I still doing here
You push me away when I get too near
Saying love's too simple to analyze

D              C
  So why do I feel confused
D           C
  Why do I feel so used
         C               C           Am

It wasn't what you said, it's what you           didn't say

Where are the windows, where are the doors?
I haven't the key to your heart anymore
I haven't a clue to what's gone wrong

'Cause you look at me sometimes as if I weren't there
You say you're listening, but you never hear
The strains of silence have grown so strong

I never wanted to doubt you
But I'd be better off without you
I'm no good at looking the other way
It wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say

Em               C
  So look at me one last time
D                      G
  With eyes that still know how to shine
Em                 C
  Hold me like you won't let go
    Am            D    Gmaj7  G6  Gmaj7  G6  (etc.)
But you let go anyway

No one belongs where they're not wanted
You're just a ghost, and my heart is haunted
When I said goodbye, you didn't even beg me to stay
It wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say
No baby, it wasn't what you said, it's what you didn't say

WALKING THROUGH FIRE (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
--------------------------------------------
[This song is actually in the key of A, then it switches to B; I'm guessing
 that Mary Chapin plays it in G & A with a capo on the second fret.]
[On a single guitar, you can do a pretty good rendition of the descending
 pattern in C(9)-D by playing C(9) as x30010 and then changing to x30000
 right before the D.  For D(9) (in the latter part of the song), play it
 as xx0230, and then xx0220 right before the E.]
[Each chord is half a measure.]

G  G  C(9) D    G  G  C(9) D    G  G  C(9) D    G  G  C(9) D

G  G              C(9)          D    G  G              C(9)      D
   When you set a match to your heart, fueling it with bitterness and doubt
G  G                     C(9)    D     G  G           C(9)          D
   That's the place that once it starts, no amount of tears can put out
Em7    Em7              D      D            C         C           D    D
   I know you're scared, but no one's spared when you play with matches
           G               G    C(9)  D
You got me walking through fire
           G               G    C(9)  D
You got me walking through fire

Maybe you've been burned by lovers, maybe you've been scarred by the pain
But baby, I'm not like the others, drawing moths to a flame
Spite is like a spark, crackling in the dark, consuming all it catches
And you got me walking through fire
You got me walking through fire to get to you
Got me walking through fire (walking through fire)
You got me walking through fire (walking through fire)

F          F        G        G      Bb       Bb        C         F

This shirt's got silver buttons, and a place upon the sleeve
Where I used to set my heart up right there where anyone could see
This shirt is the one I wore to every boring high school dance
Where the boys ignored the girls and we all pretended to like the band

This shirt is the one I lent you, and when you gave it back
It had a rip inside the sleeve where you rolled your cigarettes
It was the place I put my heart, now look at where you put a tear
I forgave your thoughtlessness, but not the boy who put it there

This shirt was the place your cat decided to give birth to five
And we stayed up all night watching, and we wept when the last one died
This shirt is just an old faded piece of cotton
Shining like memories inside those silver buttons

This shirt is a grand old relic with a grand old history
I wear it now for Sunday chores, cleaning house and raking leaves
I wear it beneath my jacket with the collar turned up high
So old I should replace it, but I'm not about to try

THIS IS LOVE (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
------------------------------------
[Capo 5; tune guitar to DADF#AD (open D).  I'm not 100% sure of the tuning,
 but I'm at least 90% sure.]
[D=000000; D(9)=002000; Dsus=000100; G(9)=020100;
 Em7(4)=220100; D/F#=400300; Gsus9=550300; Asus=x02300.]
[It sounds like there's a Bm chord in the guitar solo.  If so, play it
 like this: x20020.]

   D                D(9)         Dsus                  Dsus
If you ever need to hear a voice in the middle of the night
        D          D(9)        Dsus    Dsus
when it seems so black outside that you can't remember
 G(9)        G(9)      G(9)             G(9)      D     D(9)     Dsus   D
light ever shone on you or the ones you love in this or another lifetime

And the voice you need to hear is the true and the trusted kind, with a soft
familiar rhythm in these swirling, unsure times, when the waves are lapping in
and you're not sure you can swim, well here's the lifeline

   Em7(4)        Em7(4)     Em7(4)           Em7(4)
If you ever need to feel a hand take up your own

This is love,              all that ever was and will be
      D   D(9)  Dsus  D    D   D(9)  Dsus  D
This is love

If you ever need some proof that time can heal your wounds, just step
inside my heart and walk around these rooms; where the shadows used to be,
you can feel as well as see how peace can hover

Time's been here to fix what's broken with its power and the love that
smashed us both to bits spent its last few hours calling out your name,
and I thought, this is the kind of pain from which we don't recover

But I'm standing here now with my heart held out to you
You would have thought a miracle was all that got us through
Well baby, all I know, all I know is I'm still standing

And this is love, all that ever was and will be
This is love, standing up for you baby, standing up for me

G(9)     G(9)     G(9)                 G(9)
  And I see you still and there's this catch in my
   Asus        Asus         Asus          Asus
throat; And I just swallow hard till it leaves me
G(9)      G(9)             G(9)             G(9)
  There's nothing in this world that can change what we know
Asus      Asus        Asus     Asus      G(9)  G(9)  G(9)  G(9)
Still I know I am here if you ever need me

          D   D(9)   Dsus   D    Em7(4)  Em7(4)  Asus   Asus
And this is love [guitar solo]
D   D(9)   Dsus   D    Em7(4)  Em7(4)  Asus   Asus
[guitar solo]
D   D(9)   Dsus   D    Em7(4)  Em7(4)  Asus   Asus
[guitar solo]
Bm?  Bm?   Dsus   D    Em7(4)  Em7(4)  Asus   Asus
[guitar solo]

D  D(9)  Dsus  D    D  D(9)  Dsus  D
[instrumental]

If you ever think of me, let it be around twilight, when the world has
settled down, and the last round of sunlight is waning in the sky as you
sit and watch the night descending

A car will pass out front with lovers at the wheel, a dog will bark out
back, and children's voices peal over and under the air, you've been there,
lost in the remembering

If you ever wish for things that are only in the past
Just remember that the wrong things aren't supposed to last
Baby, it's over and done, the rest is gonna come when you let it

And this is love, all that ever was and will be
This is love, when you let it baby, if you let it now
This is love, all that ever was and can be
This is love

[Repeat D D(9) Dsus D, and fade.]

I'm no different with you or without

But one thing's certain: only the names have changed

And I think of you sometimes baby
When an old friend gives a call
And to hear us talk you'd think I felt nothing at all
'Cause nothing remains that used to be yours
We all have our way of closing the door
But it takes some time to get up when you fall

            A                   G
But I'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of
Em                  A
Way back when you pledged your love
Em                     Em                         B7   B7
   And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain
      A                   G
Now I hear all about your running around
Em                      A
Man you're a legend all over town
      Em                    B7                    Em  Em
The more things change, the more they remain the same

[Guitar solo, same chords as verse]

Sometimes I wonder if you've ever heard
The sound of a broken heart
It ain't real pretty, it ain't the thing the nice folks talk about
And the hardest thing you'll ever have to do
Is face the one who's done it to you
His eye's like an angel's, they're so devout

But I'm the same sweet girl you couldn't get enough of
Way back when you pledged your love
And you'd drive to find me through the pouring rain
Now I hear all about your running around
Man you're a legend all over town
The more things change, the more they remain the same

Now I hear all about your running around
Man you're a legend all over town
The more things change, the more they remain the same
