Hammers And Strings A Lullaby

      G               C  Em      
These hammers and strings      
   C                 G C Em
Been following me around
        G              C        
From a box filled garage To the 
Em             C        G
dark punk rock clubs Of 1000 
      C           Em
American towns
       G                 C
And my friend calls me up,
          Em                D     
he says, "how have you been?" I 
    G                 C
say, "dear I've been well,
         Em            D         
Yeah the money's coming   But I 
G                C
miss you like hell.
        Em             D      G  
I still hear you in this old 
              C Em D
piano, oh yeah."

[Verse 2]
           G         Cadd9    
She says, "Andy, I know that we 
     Em          D
don't talk as much
        G              Cadd9       
But I still hear your ghost in 
Em                 D
these   old punk rock clubs
        G             Cadd9     
Come on, write me a song, give me 
   Em            D
something to trust
      G           Cadd9          
Just promise you won't  let it 
D                       C
be, just the keys that you    
touch."

[Chorus]
                        G          
Give me something to believe in, a 
                      D
breath from the breathing

                    Em             
So write it down, I don't think 
                 C
that I'll close my eyes
                         G         
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming, so 
                       D
what's the point in sleeping?
                   Em            
It's just that at night, I've got 
             C
nowhere to hide
                       G C Em    
So I write you a lullaby        A
       G C Em
 lullaby

[Verse]
      G               C  Em      
These hammers and strings      
   C                 G C Em
Been following me around
        G         C               
Behind passenger vans Through the 
  Em             C        G
snow, dirt, and sands Of 1000 
      C           Em
American towns.
       G                 C
And my friend calls me up
          Em          D           
With her heart heavy still She 
     G           C
says, "Andy, the doctors
      Em            D            
Prescribed me the pills. But I 
G               C
know I'm not crazy.
   Em           D        G        
I just lost my will. So why am I, 
 C      D              C
why am I taking them still?"

[Chorus]
                        G          
Give me something to believe in, a 
                      D
breath from the breathing
                    Em             
So write it down, I don't think 
                 C
that I'll close my eyes
                         G         
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming, so 
                       D
what's the point in sleeping?
                   Em            
It's just that at night, I've got 
             C
nowhere to hide

[Post-Chorus]
         Em            D       C
To the sleepless, this is my reply:
                       G   D  C 
I will write you a lullaby,     
D           G    D  C  D
      A lullaby.

[Final Chorus]
