Shipwreckee 06:50
The Shipwreckee (C Ab A- F) I’ve been way down To the bottom of a bottle full of something Where are you? I was wondering I’ve been way down beat by something (F / C/E / D -) I lost everything I owned the sand cut into my knees I’ve warned everyone I know (at home) hope is just a memory (D- / C#dim) (Bb F) Do (C Ab A- ) Heard of one man he fought through it when he reached home he tore it down and maybe i’m just not worth it no, come and find me I’m here where you left me (C Ab A- F) I’m here where you left me // There he is, left to drift, he’s the captan who sank alone There he is, without a ship, he’s the captan who sank alone What is trust, what is love, he’s the captan who sank alone Left to drift, life’s a bitch, he’s the caption who drank alone I lost everything I had the sand cut into my knees these rocks never warm like home hope is just a memory They call me the shipwreckee

So Happy 06:10
So Happy Locked in her bedroom (3x - sing 1st and 3rd times) clutching her notebook tight So alone But if you ask she’s So Happy... Flowery as all hell (3x - sing 1st and 3rd times) her blankets hide her face warm but cold her teachers say she’s 
So Happy... Talk just to talk tonight (3x - sing 1st and 3rd times) Talk just to hear her voice You can’t tell She wants to make you So Happy....

Break My Back It seems it’s simple though / We question all time Is it too far to go / While we are intertwined I will carry you / I hope that we are close If I can carry you / I hope that we are close Many men have tried / Many tried and died If we cannot pass / How long can we last I will carry you / I hope that we are close If I can carry you / I hope that we are close Break my back But do it slowly Do it slowly Break my back But do it slowly Do it slowly And all of us We’re going back down / Back to California And some of us We’re leaving some behind / Over there in Florida  You just wear me down (8 7 5 3 1) been a long damn time without changing and I can’t stand what you’ve been saying (You can pull me down) (8 7 5 3 1) and the whole world round us is changing but our expectations are still the same and I’d yell if you weren’t so crazy and I’d call you if you weren’t so lazy been a long damn time without changing and you say these things that just break me why don’t you care that life is like this and it’s hard when your so full of spite, this is breaking my back and you don’t say You’re sorry it’s been so damn long and it’s long cause you can’t just say it or afraid that you not gonna make it we’ve been through it all but it’s over now

Sunrise 08:11
Sunrise Sunrise, Sunrise as morning fills the room Sunrise, Sunrise she always sleeps till noon Sunrise, surprise it always slips away Sunrise, you always rise for me, let your eyes bloom too Sunrise soon. Dreamt I was near you Need to be near you Feel you close Feel the one who knows who I am Wake up and look at me Why won’t you look at me? Open your eyes Open up your thighs Here I am Bleed till you don’t don’t be afraid I said I won’t I will, if you don’t Here I am What will they say I am ashamed I don’t know I would never go Where I am
