Fun. – Be Calm (Guitar)

   F#m                                  Bm
As I walk through the streets of my new city

   E                              A
my back feeling much better, I suppose

       F#m                        Bm
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination

    E                                A
for better or for worse, I've yet to know

             F#m                           Bm
But I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,

               E                              A
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.

F#m
Suddenly I'm lost

      Bm
On my street, on my block

   E
Oh why, oh why

   A               D
Oh why haven't you been there for me?

          E                  A
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?

     F#m                   Bm
This time I think it's for real, I can see

E
All the treetops turning red

                                  E
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe

       A
And be calm. Be calm.

           D                          A
I know you feel like you are breaking down.

       F#m          Bm               D
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.

   E
Be calm.

    F#m                            Bm
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.

       E                             A
"These days before you speak to me you pause."

   F#m                             Bm
"I always see you looking out your window."

       E                                    A
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."

    F#m                       Bm
Now every single crack, every penny that I pass,

     E                                A
says I should either leave or pick it up

         F#m
But with every single buck I've made

    Bm
I'm saddled with bad luck that came

    E
the moment I was baptized

                                      E
or when I found out one day I'm gonna die

                                             E
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:

       A
Oh, be calm. Be calm.

           D                          A
I know you feel like you are breaking down.

       F#m          Bm               D
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.

   E
Be calm.

             A                            C#m
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.

              F#m
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive

                 Bm  
and everything's wrong

        D                Bm
It just gets so hard sometimes

   E
Be calm.

  F#m     E      C#m       Bm
I don't remember much that night,

     A        E        A      E
Just walking, thinking fondly of you

F#m      E        C#m      Bm     A
Thinking that the worst is yet to come

E              A        E      A
From that street corner came a song

    A5 B5    C#5  D
And I  can't re - member the man,

    E                 A   E/G#
The panhandler or his melody.

    F#m     E           C#m   Bm     E
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.

       A
And be calm. Be calm.

           D                          A
I know you feel like you are breaking down.

       F#m          Bm               D
Well I know that it gets so hard sometimes.

   E
Be calm.

             A                             C#m
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.

              F#m
You hate your pulse because it still thinks you're alive

                 Bm
and everything's wrong

        D                Bm
It just gets so hard sometimes

   Dm  C#m  F#m
Be calm.  Be calm.
