There is a time
D F#m Bm D G Bm A A
These are the days when we became us
D F#m Bm D G Bm A A
These are the ways when we became us
D A
There is a time, to hold on
Bm G
To rest your head upon
Em B
This shoulder of mine
G A
In your eyes I'll shine
D A
There is a time to let go
Bm G
Of the moments that we know
Em B
A time to move on
G A
When what we had is gone
D A B G
There is a time
D A G A
There is a time
D A
Goodbye, don't forget
Bm G
The night that we first met
Em Bm
Driving in your car
G A
Looking for a candy bar
D A
Goodbye, don't forget
Bm G
Never regret
Em B
The memories we made
G A
And the music that we played

You were the melody, I was the muse
A Bm G D
You chased this stranger, I was the one to choose
Bm G
This perfect circumstance
D A Bm G
The space between, left room for us to dance
D A Bm G
An unexpected and welcome romance
G D A Bm G
It's been forty days, since I've seen your face

It's been far too long this time

Everywhere we went, you have left a trace

Don't throw it all away this time

I was the melody, you were the muse

You chased this stranger, I was the one to choose

something new
© music/lyrics: kris kemp

to make this spirit come undone

i'll still find my place in the sun all the things you did that were bad

despite all the pain you caused

your memories cannot be lost

you'll remember me as your number one i'm the best boyfriend you ever had

i'm letting go, i'm moving on

the darkness is before the dawn

in the city that doesn't sleep
A Bm
promises i have to keep
G D A A
the end is just the start of something new
(repeat)

it's over, i'm letting go

you're not the friend i used to know

given the choice, i'd rather be alone

pour myself into this melody
Bm
to share with those who chose to see
G D A A
sometimes it's better to be on your own

Lighting Candles (inside the belly of the whale)
© music/lyrics: kris kemp
verse 1
E B F#m E B E B F#m E B
You don't have to leave this way. No goodbye, no reason to stay.
F#m E B B
New friends in a new place is what you'll find.
B F#m E B B
Is that how you erase a year with the one you left behind?
bridge 1
A B C#m Ab/E
I was the melody. You were the muse.
A B C#m Ab/E
Trust lost, you found, the perfect excuse
F#m E B
"I had my doubts", you said
F#m E B
Then quit playing the victim in your head
chorus
E B C#m E E A
We were lighting candles inside the belly of the whale
C#m B
But I can't find your face
E B C#m E E A
A burden tossed from the ship. The storm is pacified
C#m B
It's left an empty space
verse 2
E B F#m E B
I've turned into someone I don't know
E B F#m E B
Credits descend, far too slow
F#m E B B
Remember to call my name when I pass by
F#m E B B
Hold your dreams to understand gravity's a lie
bridge 2
A B C#m Ab/E
the world it looks so different now, one foot has left the ground
A B C#m Ab/E
listen closely, until you hear the sound of the
F#m E B
3 kindest words you said, it's true
F#m E B C#m Eb/B
"i forgive you" thank you
chorus
E B C#m E E A
We were lighting candles inside the belly of the whale
C#m B
But I can't find your face
E B C#m E E A
A burden tossed from the ship. The storm is pacified
C#m B
It's left an empty space
(repeat chorus 2x)
A C#m B B
A C#m B B
F#m E B B
are you still out there, looking to connect
F#m E B B E E
chasing dreams around us, that we both collect

verse 1:
I'm glad I asked you to dance, trade regret for circumstance
And afterwards, we walked to your car
The music that you played for me spoke of your uncertainty
When you laughed, you showed me who you are
verse 2:
You feel alive when you're free. You trade the truth for irony
You played your favorite song from Radiohead
An anthem that reminds the lost, winning isn't worth the cost
Losing out is not so bad instead
chorus:
And someday soon, in front of you
The road you're on will become two
And on that day, which way, will you
Turn
If we could see, the future set
Will we be something you regret
Or will this candle always brightly
Burn

broken strings (song for Wendy)
verse 1:
Late afternoon, in September,
I saw you on the kitchen floor
Your downcast eyes, your silent gestures,
You found a new world to explore
verse 2:
Then later on, you made connections
in this cave of broken strings
You were quiet, but in the spaces in between
You seemed to make the whole world sing
chorus:
I'm trying to find a connection in this mess
Looking for someone to save me, I do confess
Did I mislead you? Did I mislead myself?
Was it all for nothing, with love thrown on the shelf?
verse 3:
Early morning, in December
I waved my hand, you stared ahead
Dismiss the future for the attention you receive
Thank you for being my friend, you said
verse 4:
And now your hands, they work to untie
All those strings that make you doubt
The still warm embers--feelings that remain alive
I am reluctant to put out
chorus 2:
Gravity can barely keep you down
The cats are lost without you
And now you're nowhere to be found
And I'm a cat, on the ground
(repeat chorus 2)
