Pilate - Not Alright

Chords Used:
F : 	133211
Dm : 	X00231
Am: 	X02210
C: 	332010

This chord progression is played throughout the entire song

Tonight I lack the strength to even move
You walked, you watched me die
But I know this is harder for you
For love has let you down, yeah come on

The road ahead is lined with broken dreams
So walk, walk on by
And I fail to give you everything you need
For the fears behind your eyes
And I can't feel you
I'm not alright, I'm not alright
When I can't heal you
I'm not alright, I'm not alright, I'm not alright

And I can't feel you
I'm not alright, I'm not alright, I'm not alright

Jesus as you throw me on the rocks 
For love, I left your side
For I believed in love and beauty's walls
When heaven shined from your eyes

So tell me that it wasn't all for not
You're such a waste now, you're such a waste now come on
Cause I know your scared but baby don't shy
You're such a waste
And I stand alone now, and you'll make it somehow

	it SO DOES give u goosebumps! you can just feel it eh? itz like.. hez been goin thru all this, giving up everything. and now hez extremely disapointed, "itz such a waste now.." i love it cause it one of the few songs, that describes this sortta mood without feeling suicidal! rather optimistic i'd say..We’ll stand alone now, we’ll make it somehow" the music is SOOOO like coldplay!! luv it!

No Picture James Wanna Be	#2 by James Pigott at Mar 9, 1978 at 11:15 PM EST
	this song is just amazing....they are kind of like a coldplay sounding band....i dunno something about this song especially just ... i just love it!!!!

No Picture julius Average	#3 by julius vaisanen at Apr 17, 1978 at 4:48 PM EST
	sallow, i agree that this song is from the ghosts point of view. thats what i was thinking, and you just confirmed it. some of the lyrics are wrong however. he does not say "when i cant heal you" he says feel both times. and at the end its "you'll stand alone now, you'll make it somehow." amazing song. i know some bands were mentioned, anybody think they sound like copeland? i do!

No Picture Angus Rhythm Player	#4 by Angus Young at Jan 28, 1980 at 10:37 AM EST
	in my opinion Pilate blows U2 out of the water. U2 is the most overrated band of all time

No Picture Dark Lead Player	#5 by Dark Avenger at Dec 11, 1983 at 4:07 PM EST
	i love this song too. his voice is amazing. so much emotion in it. i agree they sound like coldplay, but better. and a little radiohead at times. pilate is an awesome band. i had to order the cd from canada. i love it.

No Picture spencer Wanna Be	#6 by spencer mccarthy at Feb 17, 1984 at 5:50 AM EST
	yeah the video is messed up.. i don't get it but it somehow goes with the song.. in an odd way i suppose. it's a rather cute video

No Picture tim Rhythm Player	#7 by tim cronin at Mar 25, 1988 at 2:18 AM EST
	Radiohead meets coldplay meets U2s Bono's voice.

No Picture Crystal Average	#8 by Crystal at Nov 29, 1994 at 1:49 AM EST
	has anybody seen the music video (try youtube)? i have no clue as to what it means.

No Picture cody Average	#9 by cody champion at Jan 5, 1995 at 3:29 AM EST
	This is my favourite song on the album, hands down. Just...first listened to this song when going through a rought time...it just gives me goosebumps when I hear it! Amazing song.

No Picture a Average	#10 by a a at Sep 23, 1999 at 11:22 PM EST
	has anyone thought of this song perhaps from the perspective of a ghost, watching his loved one try to make it through life, the frustration of not being able to be there with her?

No Picture Nathan Average	#11 by Nathan Delvecchio at Oct 10, 2001 at 5:33 PM EST
	the melody really gets to me in this song. it just sends me into a trance.

No Picture Derek Lead Player	#12 by Derek O'Kanos at Aug 12, 2003 at 6:27 PM EST
	i completely agree with you, leeann87, pilate definitely sounds a lot like radiohead on some of their songs, and i can hear some bono in his voice as well.. coldplay, not so much... maybe the music a little bit, but not the vocals. but anyway, i adore this song, especially the last bit of it.. so much emotion

No Picture Tyler Wanna Be	#13 by Tyler Swagar at Dec 4, 2005 at 5:43 AM EST
	I hear Coldplay in the guitars, I hear Radiohead/Remy Zero in the vocals. This song and "Hold the Line" make me cry every time. They are so emotive.

No Picture David Average	#14 by David Turner at Dec 18, 2006 at 5:42 AM EST
	This song is definitely all about how he sings it, you can hear the emotion of the lyrics in his voice. I dont know about the comparisons though, melodically I can see some similarities with Colplay, but it's still quite distinct. Definitely my favourite song of the album
