The first time she saw you, oh she knew
That I would not go along, with bringing you home
But that look in her eyes would be my demise
I crumble like stones
We brought you through the door and I heard you roar
You claimed it all for your own and I should've known
Now I'm stuck here with you and I can't seem to break through
The paws on my face
With your mischief
I can't neutralize
I feel my blood pressure rise
When I see those
Fuzzy little feet
My heart always melts
I know I'm beat
I know I'm beat

Burning and churning this holiday
Coverage that stinks like the marsh in May
Feeling discouraged but feeling alive
Founders encouraged us all to fight
Sinking and drinking the day away
Break from the crush of the everyday
Cut through the noise and commit to truth
Vote down the hatred embrace the youth
Let the streamers fly
On the fourth of July
Are you feeling high?
On the fourth of July
Floundering focusing on the pristine
Teach and you’ll learn for the gathering
Sad for the winners who can’t let go
Fight to make sure that you’ll never know
Measuring up for the souls to keep
Don’t admit much but can’t fall asleep
Cut through the noise and commit to love
Promise to be what we’re all dreaming of
Let the dreamers fly
On the fourth of July
Keep our spirits high
On the fourth of July
Even when we try to break out
Spinning wheels inside a stake out
Falling apart all at the seems
Focusing on our dreams

I've got eyes and ears
and a throat that could find me love
but I aint' ever done anything
to help me with the lord above
Now I'm so alone I'm so alone
Crackers and salty things
I place upon my tongue
But we will never taste the sweetness again
Of the days of the young
Now I'm so alone I'm so alone
Way down yonder the mustard seed grows
Oh how I must have been underexposed to you
What a bitter soul
Now I'm so alone I'm so alone
And I hope some day to just move on
Way down yonder the mustard seed grows
Oh how I must have been underexposed to you

You're too good for this place
You're too good for this town
That's what they say
You've got to move on
You've got to get out
Got to get away
I don't know what keeps me here
Don't know what to say
Is it laziness or fear
that makes me stay?
I have sold out to Suburbia
You should be on TV
You should be a star
they all tell me
You should move to LA
You should move to New York
Just break free
I don't know what keeps me here
Why I don't flee
Is it that they're insincere
or insecurity?
I have sold out to Suburbia
You're too good for this place
You're too good for this town
That's what they say

he thought she had it all together
and she had something to say
but then she said “any old thing will do”
He thought that maybe it
could turn into something really special
but then she said
“I think that any old thing will do”
”any old thing”
that’s a perfect description of me
don’t you think
“any old thing”
yeah any old thing
he said I knew she wanted me
she wanted me
she thought that he was simple
and that he might be fun for a day
so she said “any old thing will do”
she thought that maybe it could be
a nice way to pass the day away
so she said any old thing will do
any old thing
its the simple way to stay free
don't you think
“any old thing”
yeah any old thing
no complications, it means nothing and I’m free
”any old thing”
that’s a perfect description of me
don’t you think
“any old thing”
yeah any old thing
he said I knew she wanted me
she wanted me

So, it looks like we're learning as we go
We're going to war with what we used to know
Lord, have mercy on me - Lord, have mercy on me
You are going to have to leave your friends
You know you might have to face the end
Lord, have mercy on me - Lord, have mercy on me
It's never easy to change
It's not in our hearts to try to settle down
We put our hope in other plans
We keep our faith despite the runaround
Some say a pilgrim on a journey
Hard to believe that you are for me
Lord, have mercy on me - Lord, have mercy on me
We do our best, but we expect the worst
We pass the test, we live beyond the curse
Lord, have mercy on me - Lord, have mercy on me
It's never easy to change
It's not in our hearts to try to settle down
We put our hope in other plans
We keep our faith despite the runaround

“Neon Shadows”
I wonder if you think of me
Neon shadows of the city
So many places you have been
Will I ever see you again?
Flowers on a wall of white
The city doesn't sleep at night
Toss and turn the sheets conceal
Essence of what haunts me still
So many channels and nothing on
Can't take me away, no you are gone
Love is like the ashes on the nightstand
So I chase the bottle to the bottom
If I can get this off my sleeve
Keep it in my chest where it's supposed to be
I'd surrender every waking dream
Impossible plots and schemes
So many channels and nothing on
Can't take me away, no you are gone
Love is just some flashes of memories
So I chase the bottle to the bottom

DON’T LOOK PAST YOUR SHOULDER
WHEN THE HAND OF FATE IT PASSES BY YOU
AND THE CRYSTAL BALL PREDICTS THE DAY
AND THE ZOMBIES CLAWS THEY RIP INSIDE YOU
AND THE CRESCENT MOON IT FADES AWAY
WHEN THE SILENCE BRINGS YOU TO TOMORROW
DON’T LOOK PAST YOUR SHOULDER
WHEN THE SUNLIGHT SHIELDS YOU FROM FOREVER
AND THE BRICKWALL STOPS YOU IN THE LIGHT
THERES A SACRIFCE UPON THE ALTER
AND THE GHOSTS THEY CHASE YOU IN THE NIGHT
I DREAM YOU….. I THINK I SEE YOU
WHEN THE SILENCE BRINGS YOU TO TOMORROW
DON’T LOOK PAST YOUR SHOULDER

The assignment this week is from Doug, and it’s fairly simple: somewhere in your song, there must be a diminished chord.
