RUNNING!!!!...RUNNING!!!! Running in the dark... ------------------------------------- One Day D, Asus2, Em, G Sometimes you have to sing from the heart To get where you want to be And sometimes singing can set you free The weightlessness will lift you off your feet As you fly through the air The sights the sounds oh nothing can compare You can walk down the road and know where you are going But if you open your eyes Can see the whole world glowing Yeah one day you'll make it I know you can make it You won't have to fake it Cause I know you can make it Life can feel like a puzzle Always trying to find the missing piece Go left go right which way takes you to the lights Sometimes you have to go back to find what you've lost before And sometimes you already have what you've been looking for Yeah one day you'll make it I know you can make it You have heart and soul And no one can take it Home, home is where you belong Home its where you are strong Home, home is where your heart lies Not under those lonesome skies Home, home is where your heart lies Not underneath darkened skies And I know that you know you can make it(x3) ------------------------------------- Where Nobody Knows EADGAE Verse: 2DG, E 2EG Chorus: Fm, E, 2EG Solo: Fm, 2EG, F(5,6,7), E Its time to go Look up and see the orange glow We're gonna fly into dark blue skies Towards the sun with both our eyes And venture into thee unknown With a seed that will be sown Where gonna run Where nobody knows We're gonna go Where no soul goes We're gonna go Battle lightening's glow Where gonna run Where nobody knows No matter what happens I know that we won't give in We'll keep fighting and we'll always win We're always turn the music up In our cars on a friday night Through the city in full flight Singing our songs till first light Where gonna run Where nobody knows We're gonna go Where no soul goes We're gonna go Battle lightening's glow Where gonna run Where nobody knows [Awesome guitar solo] Where gonna run Where nobody knows(x4) ------------------------------------- You Only Live Once EADGCC/EADGBE Shoe gaze tuning/Regular version Verse: F(8,9,10), F(3,4,5), F Solo: F(8,9,10), F(5,6,7), F(3,4,5), F The dark of night Opened up your eyes To different skies Where birds fly by Drums will beat Clouds in skies will meet The seas are rising Tides are changing Up and down side to side Swaying back and forth The stars they all point north Yeah you Yeah you Only live once Yeah you Yeah you Only live once The sun rises and darkness retreats All thats left to see Is a world where we run free The seas are rising Tides are changing Up and down side to side Swaying back and forth The stars, the stars they all point north Yeah you Yeah you Only live once Yeah you Yeah you Only live once Yeah you Yeah you Yeah you Only live once [Amazingly awesome guitar solo] Yeah you Yeah you Yeah you Only live once Yeah you Yeah you Yeah you Only live once ------------------------------------- Highway "The Bromance Song" Verse/Chorus: F789, F234, F567 Solo: F789, F567, E Standing...with you In the middle of no where Together giving ya a thousand yard stare Looking for some place Where neon meets the sky Looking for your face So I can see your eyes I just want you to stay Don't leave me alone on the highway Drive with me to the bay Memories made on the highway Standing...with you In the middle of no where Together giving ya a thousand yard stare Looking for some place Where nothing else compares Wondering if sounds can echo and blair I just want you to stay Don't leave me alone on the highway Drive with me to the bay Memories made on the highway [Awesome guitar solo] I just want you to stay Don't leave me alone on the highway Drive with me to the bay Memories made on the highway ------------------------------------- Tranquility Hill "Slow acoustic of the album" "Trough chaos as it swirls.." Oh sunlight rising in the eastern sky Can we escape from this world and fly Sunlight will bust through the rain So we can start again The roads we're traveling bend and curve We may be wandering, but

see you running Through all the mist and rain I see your heart glowing And pounding against the pain And if this is a sign Please show me the right way So maybe one day Good things will come our way

------------------------------------- Sitting on a bridge in the park Looking at the sun Watching it fade to dark And seeing people run Looking up then down Getting lost in all the sounds And as all the city lights go out I'm left without a doubt That I know I can't live without Such a beautiful sight In the end, I'll stay by your side Through storms and tides, and until Darkness has gone from your life And everyday I'm left on my knees Alone with the cool morning breeze This is't what I've felt or what I've seen As I rise out of bed Against the words I've said Knowing the truth but not accepting it One day the fire will be lit In the end, I'll stay by your side Through storms and tides, and until Darkness has gone from your life In the end, I'll stay up with you until the break of dawn, and I know and I promise you we will live on ------------------------------------- New York "RITD" chords backwards Another day gone by Since we stood atop the world Times passing us by We can't slow it down Let us open our eyes and see through this disguise So tomorrow we'll fly Fear has cut me down to size And made me realize What is perfect in my eyes This road we're walking down Is full of noise and sound I can see the sun breaking overhead And of all the things that you've said "Speak your mind, Jump in line" Take that leap of faith and believe Together there's so much we can achieve Days moving faster now Seconds ticking away Make every moment count We will find a way Just have no doubt the sun will come out One more mile, one more smile One more light, a fire to ignite This road we're walking down Is full of noise and sound I can see the sun overhead And of all the things that you've said "Speak your mind, Jump in line" Take that leap of faith and believe There's so much we can achieve ------------------------------------- Green Eyes </3 8/29/13©Keaton Skaggs 2013 (320033), (200033) (020032), (030033), Some things happen for a reason The stars in space will align for you If you believe in what you do You can find it pure and true There's a voice inside us all Trying to tear down the wall Walk to the ocean And look deep within You'll find a beauty Waiting to begin Oh(x2) As the sun breaks over the horizon And the rain comes pouring in I'll be freed and see what you see The truth will set me free I'm falling from the sky Give me something to remember you

September 2, 201312 yr My favourite song from yours James is The Escapist. I love all of the songs, I think they're great. I hate sitting here saying they're all brilliant and giving no constructive criticism but I honestly think they're all great. Also I was wondering do you guys read my messages in an English accent because I read yours in American accents.:lol:
September 2, 201312 yr I love One Day too, however my favourite is Where Nobody Knows.

Oh cool! Where Nobody Knows is a loud electric guitar song, but I love it acoustically too. :) Thanks, I like those lyrics too. I've recorded about 3-4 I believe. I'll link my Youtube and Soundcloud up here. http://www.youtube.com/Lifeoftechnicolor
September 2, 201312 yr Yes :lol: Oh god :lol: I'm not actually very posh in my accent to be honest, I mean compared to Americans and to Americans I probably sound posh but to me I don't think I do at all.
September 2, 201312 yr Hey at least you guys have accents. I have a Californian accent. And I also say hella. That's a NorCal thing. :lol:
September 2, 201312 yr Hey at least you guys have accents. I have a Californian accent. And I also say hella. That's a NorCal thing. :lol: You guys have accents too! To me I don't have an accent but apparently I do. I read this article thing and it said Americans think English have bad hygiene and teeth. I WILL LET YOU KNOW THAT I AM EXTREMELY CLEAN, IN FACT MY FRIENDS THINK I HAVE OCD (I don't, I think) AND MY DENTIST SAYS I HAVE GOOD TEETH :angry::( I do love tea and scones though, very English apparently.
September 2, 201312 yr That's a generalization that James and I would never make about you nor any British. WE're both sure you have amazing teeth and look fantastic! :nice: Sorry for speaking for you James. I love tea and scones too :p
September 2, 201312 yr Also apparently according to these websites we say "oi oi chip chip, Cheerio, old chap, jolly good" a lot. I do sometimes say "oi oi" and "jolly good", but I don't think I've ever said "old chap"... Or at least seriously....
September 2, 201312 yr Hey at least you guys have accents. I have a Californian accent. And I also say hella. That's a NorCal thing. :lol: Most people say I don't really have an accent! :lol: but it's there though. it's there

September 2, 201312 yr If we're still taking about accents, I probably have a S'uth'n one. :lol: I'm not sure though, if I do have an accent, I'm so used to hearing it I don't notice anymore. Also, I've always wondered what an American accent sounds to someone who has heard a British accent all their life.
September 2, 201312 yr Hmmm when I attempt an American accent I sound like Kourtney Kardashian :uhoh::lol: When I first think of American accents, I think of the (I think it's the) California-ish accent.
September 2, 201312 yr American accents are so cute!! :awesome: But, I'm sorry, you guys say aluminium WRONG!!:lol:
September 2, 201312 yr A-lllumeni-ummmm Allumineeeeem :lol: They're cute? British accents are cute :wacky:
September 2, 201312 yr No, American accents are cute! You say everything all cool :awesome::wacky: From what I've heard Americans say aluminum but it's aluminium, it has an I in it :lol:
