Nine years old round the back of the pool hall

D Am C Em

Playing softball wearing a slanted smile

A C G

I asked you why you weren't at school

D Am C Em

You laughed you didn't believe in rules

Seventeen you were wild as a dream

Had all the boys in town whispering your name

You never gave any of them the chance

To kiss your face you'd never be tamed. You said...

G D

Catch me if you can

Em G

If you're the kind of man

C Bm7 C+9

That dares to hold the wind's hand

G D

Catch me if you can

Em G

If you're the kind of man

C G D D7

That can tame a hurricane

Twenty four in trouble with the law

You ran away to Mexico

Living on a beach you drank tequila neat

Singing Indian songs from long ago

Thirty five still glad to be

Alive, your feet still never touched the earth

With a poet's eyes reaching up to the skies

Too young to pretend to be old

Am7 G

You came home when your mother died

D Am7

I saw you crying by her grave at night

C G

Like only death could drag you down

D Am - C - Em

And take you back to, solid ground

I thought when you rode on in you'd

D

stay a day or two

A

You seemed to like my style and you'd

E7

Nothing else to do

A

I guess I wan't in your plans

D

On your itiner'y

A

Your ticket said no stopping off

E7

In a one horse town called me

A D

You were on a through train

A D

Straight through my heart

A G

Your destination far away

D E7

No time to make it last

A D

You were on a through train

A D

Never stayed a day

A G

Bound for another lonely town

D E7

With a ticket stamped one way

D F#m

A soda and a hurried kiss

G D

In a small railside cafe

A G

The whistles blow you had to go

D E7

Just leaving me to say...

I know when I placed that ad I weren't completely straight

Bm7 Am7 C D

True I've got no cadillac and no fancy number plates

G C D G

I do admit that I did lie 'bout my condo by the sea

Bm7 Am7 C D

And when I said I worked downtown I should've said a factory

Em G C D

Now I've got you babe, standing at the door

Bm7 Am7 C D

That look in your eyes, tellin' me you 'spected more

G C D G

First impressions, aint always what they seem

Bm7 Am7 C D

What starts off a nightmare, might end up a dream

G C D G

First impressions, might change the more you see

Bm7 Am7 Bm7 C Em

Stay awhile give it a chance, you might find that you love me

I know your heart was set, on something more upclass

When I told you I'd got diamonds, you didn't htink they'd just be glass

I see the flowers wilting, in your hair and on your dress

You'd never set your hopes, on something second best

Now I've got you babe, with your flag at half mast

What should have been our first date, turning into our last

Bm7 Am7 Bm7 Am7

I'll go and take a new ad out, in the paper the next day

Bm7 Am7 C D

With letters blazened bold, this is what I'll say...

She reads the paper ever'y day

G#m C#m

Seeking hearts to fly her way

F#m A

Come she prays

F#m B E

Makes her feel all warm inside

G#m C#m

Knowing someone's gonna try

F#m A

Just try she says

They call her up she talks real nice

Says she'll meet them the next night

And she might

She's got the answers off just fine

Till they get to that line

She takes fright. And she...

C#m G#m F#m

Runs away

C#m G#m F#m

Yeh she runs away

C#m G#m F#m

'Cos she don't know how to say

A

I love you

Then she cries for a week

For the soul she's gonna seek

And take

But she'll soon be back again

Like she's needing some more pain

And heartache. And she...

C#m A B

Maybe one day she'll find

F#m C#m

You can't leave yourself behind

A B B7

When you try to run from love. And she...

So you lost the battle for my heart

C Am7 Dm7 G

Took off wounded to hide yourself away

C Am7 Dm7 G

Try and forget you ever loved me

C Am7 Dm7 G

Waiting for the pain to die

I took a ride on another's dream

And went to sleep in his soul

But I can't stop gazing out the door

And I need to know you're still there. Just..

Am7 Em7 Fmaj7 G

Stay around, like you still care

Am7 Em7 Fmaj7 G

Stay around, like you still dare Just

Am7 Em7 F G

Stay around, you might get a second chance

Am7 Em7 F G

Stay around, until the last dance

Just because I don't turn around

When you see me in town

Don't mean I don't know baby

Your eyes are following my sound. Just...

Em7 Am7 Em7 Am7

There's still time there's still light in the sky

Em7 Am7 F G

I don't need you, but I need you to try. Just...

I'm out alone on an endless raging sea

G Am7 Bm7 Am7

Paying the price for wanting to be free

G Am7 Bm7 C

I'm out of my depth in a life I never chose

G Am7 Bm7 Am7

Needing your arms to come and rescue me

G Am

Be my lifeguard

C D

Take me safely to the

G Am

shore Be my lifeguard

C D

I need your love for

Am G F Em

Sure, breathe the life into my soul

G Am

Be my lifeguard

C Em

Make my body whole

Third time down and I'm struggling for breath

Choking on the lies and the weight of the rest

Needing a hand to pull me up again

Bring me back to life and save me from the mess

Em Am7 G D

Take me back to the warm dry sand

Em G C D

Give me a chance to make it back to land

Intro: Dm7 Am7 x4

Dm7 Am7 Dm7 Am7

A shining eye gazing out at the sky

Dm7 Am7 Dm7 Am7

And a soaring span and a carrion cry

Dm7 Am7 Dm7 Am7

Taking the wind and rain on high

Dm7 Am7 G

Never stopping to wonder why..

Dm7 C G Bb

You're birdlike

Dm7 C G Bb

Your love is birdlike

Dm7 Am7 Dm7 G

Your wings are in my eyes

Dm7 Am7 Bb C

Your talons are in my mind

Dm7 C G Bb

You're birdlike

Dm7 C G Bb

Yeh you're birdlike

Am7 Fmaj7

You never felt no sympathy

C Fmaj7

And you never cared at all

Am7 Em7

'Bout my soul and how I tried

Fmaj7 Am7

Your mind was set against the wall..

Sometime you're gonna fly away

Back east on an Autumn day

Your nest scattered with the hay

Never waiting to hear me say..

When you turned the knife again

C Dm7

You knew I couldn't take more pain

Em Am

And you locked yourself away

Dm7 G

Knowing silence was the cruellest thing

Am

You could say

Em Am

Something died

Em Am

Something died

Dm7 G Am

My heart just lay down and died

When you made it all so clear

For the hundredth time this year

That you'd made a mistake

And you'd just been selling me a fake

Dm7 Am

I'd made it back each time before

G Fmaj7

Dragged myself back off the floor

Dm7 Am

You made the mask fit right back on

G Fmaj7

But now the strap has gone and...

Riding home on a February day

Em C G

Beside the flooded creek

C G Bm7 Am7

Only your silence for company

Em C D

The fields empty and bleak

Looking for hope in the black clouds

A chance to set things right

I know the weather's gonna change sometime

And we'll get to see the light

C G D C Em

There's a winter sun breaking through the skyline

C G D C D

A winter sun shining through the rain

C G D C Em

A winter sun bringing hope in this dark year

C G D C D

A winter sun to dry away our tears

F#m7 Bm7

I know it aint easy

Em G Bm7

And your heart is on the ground

F#m7 Bm7

But even in the saddest hours

Am7 C D

Things can turn around

Spring'll come and we'll head back East

Where the river meets the sea

I'll take your hand and we'll thank the heavens

That we fin'lly came to see...

Intro: C#m F#m E F#m A C#m B

E F#m

I never heard Romeo and Juliet

A B E

Sayin' things that made them wild

F#m

Like she wanted to put him down

A B

Make his heart start to cry

E F#m

So ev'ry time time he sees a girl

A B E

Who gives him a smile

F#m

He hides in his innocence

A B E F#m A B

And his faithful style

C#m A

Love shouldn't be like this

E F#m

The way she makes him feel like this

C#m A

Life's too short to never kiss

F#m A B

You know he can't go on like this

C#m F#m E F#m

He's never so blue and all alone

A C#m B

As when he's by her side

C#m F#m E F#m

Feelin' cold and like he don't belong

A C#m B

Feelin' like to just lay down and die

He saw her talking with a friend

She had tears in her eyes

When he turned to walk away

He though he heard her say..

When I stole your sister's purse

C Am Dm G

Ran away with a handful of trust

C G Dm G

Came back reeling and singing a curse

C Am F G

You took me in like you knew you must. I'm your...

C G F G

Favourite son

C G F G

Yeh I'm your favourite son

C Dm Em F

Ev'rything I do's gonna turn out wrong

C Dm F G

But I know I'll always be

C G F G

Your favourite son

C G F G

Yeh your favourite son

Never made it to the end of school

I guess I'm stupid or I act like a fool

I never needed to be kind and true

With you behind me I can make my own rules. I'm your..

Dm Am G

You never cared for the rest the same

Dm Am G

I was the one to carry your name

Your favourite son etc

My Love (my love my love my love)

Bm7 Bm7/A F#m7

Is a gift from heaven (is a gift from heaven)

Bm A G A

The angels must have cried when you slipped away

Bm F#m G A

Came down from on high with a smile in your eye

You didn't need no wings to fly into my arms

And hold me like a saint embracing my faith

Bm7 F#m7 Em Bm7 F#m7 Em

I'm full of desire for your mystical fire

Bm7 F#m7 G Em

And you can lead me on be my guiding star

You don't need give a sign to show me you're divine

As long as you're near me I know you'll always be mine

When your hope has gone to a distant shore

Dm7 Am7 Gm7 Dm7 Am7 Gm7

Leavin' your mind whisperin' it don't care where it goes

Dm7 Am7 Gm7 Dm7 Am7 Gm7

And you look into its eyes see only mystery and lies

Dm7 Am7 Gm7 Dm7 Am7 Gm7

And you tell yourself you need some good advice

F Gm7

Your heart will know

F Gm7

Deep inside

F Gm7

Your heart will know

Am7 Bb

Where the truth lies

When there's an endless ocean of style

And the road goes on for miles

You don't know who your friends are 'cos they're speaking much too fast

And you tell yourself you don't know where you're at

F Am7

Your heart aint gonna let you down

Gm7 Dm

Leave you deep under the ground

F Am7

You gotta do what you know is right

Gm7 Dm

You'll find that star one night

Its easy to say

Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7

Words that cut like cold rain through your mind

C Em C Em

Take the breath from your life

Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7

And bring you down

It's easy to watch

The tears that grow like pearls in your eyes

Take away your soft disguise

And bring you down

Am7

I never tried

G Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7

To tell you how I'd feel inside

Am7 G

If you ever ran and left me

Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7

High and Dry

Am7 G

I meant to say

F Em Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7

How I miss your face close to mine

Am7 G F Em

And I'm sorry for all the times I made you cry

Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7

When I meant to say 'I Love You'

Am7 G

Words can catch you unawares

F Em

Make you seem like you don't care

Am7 G

Turn your meaning upside down

Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7

Turn a glance into a frown

It's easy to hear

The sound of a slowly closing door

And the silence that comes with being alone

Evermore

You thought you didn't need no one

Em G

Could make it on your own

Bm7 A

Didn't need no helping hand

G G -A

Or the safety of a home

The bright lights drew you in

Like a moth into a flame

Burned your wings and put you down

Left you broken blind and lame

G F#m7 Em F#m7

Now you know who your friends are

Bm7 A G G-A

Now you know who really cares

G F#m7 Em C

Now you know who'll stay till the end

Bm7 A G G-A

Who will always be there

When I found you

With your back up to the wall

Your pride

running down your cheeks

I took you back

To the place that you belong

Close to my heart

F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7

Don't go running off again

F#m7 Bm7 G A

You don't need to cause noone more pain

When you're hot

C Dm Am F C Dm

You're hotter than a morning star

Am F C Dm

Make my face flushed with desire

Am F C Dm

For your body's fire

When you're cold

You're colder than the winter's snow

Make me feel like I'm crying

In your frozen air

Am F C Dm

You're hot and cold (hot and cold)

Am F C Dm

Blowing hot and cold in my mind

Am F C Dm

Hot and cold (hot and cold)

Am F C Dm

Like a desert wind

When you turn

You're faster than a hurricane

Make me spin and calling

Out your name in vain

Am7 Dm7

Make me brittle like to crack and fall

Am7 Dm7

In a thousand pieces on the floor

Am7 Em7

Like I can't take it anymore

F C Dm

Don't need your love around

When you've grown

And you've learned to find your way

Call me up let me hear you say

I aint gonna play...

Intro: Am7 Em7 Bm Am7, Bm7 Am7 Em7 x2

Am7 Em7

You say you love me

Bm7 Am7

Like you've said so many times

Bm7 Am7

It seems so perfect

Em7

Just like the perfect crime

You're always there

When someone picks up the phone

There's never a trace

Of something left undone

G Bm7

But I know

Am7 Bm7

There's something going on

G Bm7

You'll never tell me

Am7

what's deep inside

G D Am7 Bm7

And the secret in your eyes

C G Bm7

Can't hide in your disguise

G D Am7 Bm7

Yeh the secret in your eyes

C G Fmaj7

Like a word to the wise

G D Am7 Em7

Keep it hidden far away

G Bm7 Am7

There's something you never need to say...

You've always said

You'll tell me if we're through

But I can't bear to hear those words

That say you've found somebody new

You need a hand something strong to hold

Am7 Dm7

You pull me from the pack

Am7 Dm7

Hold me gently in your hands

Am7 Dm7

Slowly light a match

You know you'll smile when I'm deep inside

Fill your soul with my perfume

Take you up to the searing heights

Like the howl of the full moon. Yeh I'm your...

Am7 Em7-Dm7

Cigarette

Am7 Em7-Dm7

Yeh I'm your cigarette

Am7 Em7-Dm7

I'm your cigarette

Am7 Em7-Dm7

Yeh I'm your cigarette

I'll never say a cruel word cause your

body pain

Twenty ways to see you right

You'll never take my name in vain. ' Cos I'm your...

F G

Breathe me in

Em Am

Blow me out

F G

Baby can you feel it

Em Dm

There's no doubt I'm your...

You light me up each night

You know I'll see you right

When you're done you'll just stub me out

I'm your cigarette

You're standing tall like you know it all

Am Em F

Don't need a hand to hold

C F Am G

Gazing down from your jewelled crown

Am Em F

Want to tell not to be told

F C Dm

But when the crowds have gone

Am F

And it all feels wrong

C Am Em F

You know you can always slip away. You can...

Chorus:

C F Am Bb

Run for Home

C F Am Bb

Run For Home

Dm C F G

You know you'll never be alone when you can

C F Am Bb

Run For Home

C F Am Bb

Run For Home

When your best laid plans are crumbling in your hands

You'll never be out in the street

Looking for a place to sleep or a few dollars

you can keep. You can...

You're no finer than the rest who tried

you never even put your own

life on the line

In this ocean they call love

C Bb

Where the waves of desire

Am7 Gm7

Roll me over in the raging tide

Am7 Em7 Gm7

I reached out and caught your style

C Bb

Like we'd stay for a while

Am7 Gm7

The rest were swept aside

Dm7 Gm7 Am7 Bb

Sinking down to the depths of my heart

Dm7 Am7 Bb Gm7

I know this love is gonna last

Dm7 Am7 Gm7

No other fish in the sea

Bb F Am7 Gm7

Could be the same for me

Dm7 Am7 Gm7

I don't want noone else

Bb F Am7 Gm7

To be the one for me

Bb Am7 Dm7

Like the wind blowing on the shore

Gm7 Am7 Dm7

You make me sigh only wanting more

Bb Am7 Dm7

If you left me high and dry

Gm7 Am7 Bb Gm7

I'd be dying like a castaway

Reaching down to the depths of my soul

Only you can make my body whole

I've known so long

Em Am Em Am Em

Nothing will change the way I feel

F C Am

The way your eyes catch mine

F C Bb

Turns my dull life into shining steel

When we touch

We know where things are gonna lead

Take to the floor

The music plays our bodies meet. We're..

C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm

Dancing, yeh we're moving slow

F C Dm Am Bb G

We're dancing, feel your body flow

The song is old

But the night is still young

Our hearts are weak

But we know our love is strong. We're..

F C Dm Am

Make it last till the moon is gone

F C Dm G

Hold me close till the morning comes. We're

I lost your picture past twenty years ago

F C Bb Am G

My minds eye has grown short in the wandering years

I can still remember how you called my name

The first to make me feel I could mean something to anyone

Fmaj7 C

Back in this town

Em Dm Am7

Feeling that dull pain again

Fmaj7 C

Like the day I left

Em Dm G

Without time to say goodbye.

Now all I have is that...

Am7 Fmaj7 Em

Old dream of you

Am7 Fmaj7 Em

That old dream of you

That makes me want to

Fmaj7 Em

Put it all back to rights

Fmaj7 C

And never fear the nights I'll spend

Dm G

Without you

Fmaj7 Am7 Bb Bm7 Em

It's so simple, when the future is planned in never land

Fmaj7 Am7

And your eyes never lose their shine

Bb Bm7

Your kisses are all mine

F C Dm

And we never need to start to grow old

Back in this town

Listening for your laugh on the wind

And your name

I whispered on the summer breeze.

Now all I have is that...

It's so sad

When you know you took the wrong road

And you never forget the past

And the chance you passed

You can't ever live those days again.

Now all I have is that...

You know it aint right

Dm F C

To hurt the one you love

G

Make Them cry

Dm F Em Dm G

'Cos they don't know where you were last night

You know they sigh

When they feel like they're locked out

Makes them wish

They could tame your wayward heart. And this is...

C G

Sweet, sweet madness

Dm7 F C

We've taken it so far

G

This sweet madness

Dm7 F Em

We both know that we can't

Am

Stop now

G F C

Its too late to lose that chance

I never meant

To fall into your arms

Get drawn in

And follow that mad star. And this is...

In this barren desert bar

F#m7 Bm7 Em7 A

Where lips shine like distant stars

Bm7

Lightyears away

G A Bm7

I'm wand'ring round the floor

F#m7 Bm7 Em7 A

Like I can't take no more can't face the

Bm7

Light of day

G Bm7

That look you gave me

Em7 F#m7

Yeh that look you gave me

Em7 A

Reaching in my soul

Bm7

Like everything I know

G Bm7

That smile you gave me

Em7 F#m7

Turned my life crazy

Em7 A

Giving me a glow

Bm7

Made my lifeblood flow

I'm reeling on four feet

Like I'm feeling your heat

Just can't look away

Like I fin'lly got the chance

To make a dance

Can feel the music sway

C#m7 G#m7

Keep on looking

C#m7 G#m7

Keep me cooking

Em7 A

Keep me hoping

Bm7

It's the real thing

It hurts when that cloud crosses your sky

C G F Bb C G F Bb

Blocks your shining love turns my life to grey

It hurts when I see those teardrops fall

Knowing nothing'll stop that thunder's roar

Am7 Em7 F G

But remember how things used to be

Am7 Em7 Fmaj7

Before you found sweet company

Am7 G+6 Fmaj7

It hurts to be alone

Am7 G+6 Fmaj7

It hurts to be alone

Am7 Em7 F G Fmaj7

You won't ever be that way again

It hurts to say that you were wrong

Change your style to learn to get along

Dm7 Am7 F G

Even the bad times couldn't be that bad

Dm7 Am7 Em7

It's better to lose, than never ever had

Intro: Am7 G Bm7 Am7 G Bm7 Am7 Bm7 (=1/2 verse instrumental)

Am7 G Bm7 Am7

You gave my cheek a silver glow

G Bm7 Am7 Bm7

So you could drag me ev'ywhere you go

Am7 G Bm7 Am7

My body's studded in designs for you

G Bm7 Am7 Bm7

Reflects your style let ev'rybody know

Em C G Bm7

How I'd always stay kind and true

Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7

Do anything you ever asked me to

Em C G Bm7

Till you wanted something hot and new

Am7 Bm7 Am7 (Bm7)

You took a knife cut my body through

G D C D

You pierced my heart (You pierced my heart)

Em Bm7 Am7

You left the hardest till the last

G D C D

You pierced my heart (You pierced my heart)

Em Bm7 G D C

The only flesh left to tear apart

My painted body's gone turned to grey

That Lady Luck just washed clean away

The diamond stud pinned below my eye

Became a tear I can't wipe away

No doctor's gonna bring me back

With a needle and a shot of smack

The wound is deep enough to sit and cry

You cut my soul when you went away

Someone bought a new dress today

D A G

You got it on but you didn't pay

A Bm F#m Bm

Daddy dropped you a coupla G's

D A G

Said here baby get something made to please

Someone slaved to dig that gold

Made that sparkling hand to hold

It sure aint you broke your fingernails

Working out for a dollar a day. 'Cos...

D A Bm G D A Bm G

You're a style child, and you're running wild

D A Bm G D A Bm G

You're a style child, you know you'll never tire

Em A Em A

Of showing off someone else's wealth

D A G

Only smiling to please yourself

I don't care if it's right or wrong

Just as long as you come along

You're looking good just the way you are

Don't need darkness to make you a star. 'Cos...

Em A Em A

One day you're gonna have to pay

Em A Em A

Gotta learn to make your own way

Em A Em A

But tonight we don't need to sigh

D A G

Just keep your eyes fixed on the sky. 'Cos...

I've seen the way you walk round town

Em G Am C

Your head held high, your belt slung down

G D Am C

I've seen the way you catch my eye

Em G Am D

Your face of steel don't give a smile

I've seen you dance like a troubadour

Your tight stud jeans move round the floor

I've seen the girls fall at your feet

They'll never feel your body's heat

C G D

Are you coming out tonight

C G D

Yeh are you coming out tonight

Em C G

You'd look so fine

D Am

Dancing in that line

C G D

Are you coming out tonight

C G D D7

Yeh are you coming out tonight

Em C G

It aint a crime to do the grapevine

F C

Two buddies side by side

Em C G

Shake it all out show 'em what it's about

F D7

No need to run and hide

When you cried, said your feelings died

C G

And locked yourself away

C G F Em F

You couldn't bear, another year

C G

Of living here this way

Dm7 Em Am F C

Never tried to talk, got ready to walk

Am G

Made plans for another life

Am G F

You hoped I'd take it silently

Am G F

But you forgot to let me say...

C G Am F C Dm G

Your tears can't wash away my love

Am G F

This aint no cheap romance

Am G F

Where the words flow clean away

C G

At the first summer rain

Say you want to die, won't even try

Can't look me in the eyes

Tell me it's over, won't ever recover

My heart cries out to say...

Dm7 C

Make me smile

F Dm7

Go that extra mile

C

Come into my arms

G F

Give me one last chance...

You like it hot

C#m7 D

It's better than not

A Bm7 C#m7 D

Having a soul to hold

A Bm7 C#m7

Don't care if you drop

D A

Don't rise to the top

Bm7 C#m7 D

With no heart of gold

Bm7 F#m7

You know I'll be good

G A

At being bad as can be

Bm7 F#m7

Just burn with me

G A

And there'll be no sympathy. I'm the...

Chorus:

Bm7 C#m7 D E

Devil you know, better than the rest

Bm7 C#m7 D E

The devil you know, got your interest

Bm7 A

Close in my arms

C#m7 Bm7 G

And I'm dragging you down

A Bm7 F#m7 D

I'm an angel with a pierced wing

A Bm7 C#m7 D

Can't fly away I'll never sing

A Bm7 F#m7 D

Those songs that they say'll bring

A Bm7 G

You up to heaven with a halo's ring

Chorus

You know I'll still shine

Through your darkest night

You'll love me better

Than the one you don't. I'm your....

Chorus

Chorus

You can dress in tomorrows style

D Dmaj7 Em G

Charm my soul with your diamond smile

D Dmaj7 Em G

Make me dance the whole night long

D Dmaj7 Em G

Let me think you can do no wrong

D C G A

But don't think that I'll be bound

D C G A

When the morning comes around. 'Cos

D - F#m7 - Em - F#m7

This heart is mine

D - F#m7 - Em - F#m7

This heart is mine

D - Em - F#m7 - G

You can have it just tonight

D - Em - G - A

But it's me that's got the rights, 'cos

D - F#m7 - Em - F#m7

This heart is mine

D - F#m7 - Em - F#m7

This heart is mine

You'd like a trophy on your wall

Replace the one from the month before

Lock me up with a ring and chain

Till your fashion's changed again

Just don't think it'll be forever

Sometimes is better than sometime never

This heart is mine

This heart is mine etc

You make the sun beat against my skin

Em C G D

Take the clouds make the flowers sing

Em Am G Bm7

Dry me up, take my voice away

Em C G D

Seeing you I can only say. You make me...

G D C D

Breathless

G D C D

Breathless

Em Am G D

Charm the air from a summer night

Am7 Em7 D

Leave me gasping for the light

G D C D

Let's make this

Em7 Bm7 Am7

The time to do it right

Never dared to call your name

Acting like it's all the same

Want to say, can't find the words

My lips move but there's no sound. I'm.....

Bb Dm7 Bb Dm7

I could live on your whispered sigh

Bb Eb Fm7

Fill my chest with your piece of sky

Bb Dm7 Bb Dm7

Blow it back against your cheek

Bb Fm7 Cm7 C#

Not be crying I'm afraid to speak

Am7 D Am7 D

He don't come out in the light of day

Am7 D C Em

You'll see him catch your lady's eye

Am7 D Am7 D

She smiles back tho she don't know why

Next thing is she's got a frown

Things were swimming but you start to drown

She don't wanna dance with you no more

Mister X's knocking at her door. Oh...

Dm7 Em7 Am7

Mister X the man with no name

Dm7 Em7 Am7

He's there ev'ry night but he don't look the same

Dm7 Em7 Am7

Mister X makes your girl disappear

Dm7 Em7 Am7 G

One day she loves you then she's outta here

Mister X is ev'rywhere

She'll never wash him out her hair

He gets in the air she breathes

When you kisss her again its his lips you feel

Am7 D

You can crawl like you wanna die

Am7 D

Cry to heaven go and blame the sky

Am7 D

Its him always gets the looks

Am7 D

You're just Y or Z, it's X that hooks

Tear down that wall

Em7 Am7

Keeping us apart

G Em7

Don't matter what you're called

Am7 D

Don't matter where you start

No visa required

In this liberal state

Stay as long as you like

Just walk through the gates. We've got...

G Am7 D C

Love without frontiers

G Am7 Em7 D

Our hearts are open wide

G Am7 D C

Love without frontiers

G Am7 Em7 D

There's nothing to declare

C G D

When you care, when you care inside

C G Bm7 C

There'll be no men with eyes and guns

Em C G

Tell you where you got to go

C G Bm7 C

We've got a common tongue

Em C D

We can let each other know. We've got...

When you care, when you care inside.

A E

When the snow falls

F#m D

Across those high plains

A Bm7

And the nights get shorter

A E7

The wind whispers his name

the children start gazing

In the cold starlit sky

Listening for his sound

You can hear them say...

D E F#m E

Hey saddle up santa, it's that time of year

C G D

We're all here waiting, for your Christmas cheer

C D Em D

Hey saddle up Santa, get aboard that sleigh

C G C G D

The reindeer are ready, ready to take you away

He'll come down the chimney [A E F#m D, A Bm7 A E7]

In a flurry of bells

The elves'll ride shotgun

Pixies at his tails

He'll be hoping

We're all in our beds

He'll rest a while

Then he's off to the next

C G D

This cowboy's got no lassoo

C G D

But he'll round up some joy for you

C G C G

Just close your eyes, at the old fireside

C D E7

You can see him ready to ride

2 x verse instrumental [A E F#m D, A Bm7 A E7] x2

The reindeer are ready, ready to take you away

The reindeer are ready, ready to take you away

Someone left a match too long

G Bm7 Am7 D

Fell on paper sent an orange tongue

G Em Am D

Up the walls and along the hall

G Bm7 Am7 D

Licking 'gainst my bedroom door

Woke me up with its flick'ring light

Needing love in this lonely night

Want to hold your body close

Want to touch you feel your face. And...

Am7 D Em7 Am7

Our Love is like a house on fire

Bb Am7 G

Noone's getting out of this alive

Am7 D Em7 Am7

Feel the heat like a red hot knife

Bb Am7 D

Burning like a house on fire

Someone call the men in red

This passion's raging in my head

We'll never make it out of here

It's gonna burn for a hundred years. And...

Dmaj7 Am7 Em7 Bb

An Ocean won't stop this blaze

Am7 D Em7

Drown my heart make it turn to grey

Dmaj7 Am7 Em7 Bb

They'll never tear our souls apart

Am7 Em7 D

Quench our love make a brand new start. And...

Playing all night, in this ocean cocktail bar

Am7 F G Fmaj7 C Em Dm7

Notes fall, like icecubes in a cold sidecar

No-one hears, the notes my fingers play

Seems to me, the sea's the only one who'll say..

G Am7 Em7 Fmaj7 G Am7 Em7 Fmaj7

I'm making the waves sleep

Am7 Bm7

The ocean's sigh on the shore

Am7 Fmaj7

To tell me give it one song more

G Am7 Em7 Fmaj7 G Am7 Em7 Fmaj7

To make the waves sleep

Bars are drowning, in a deeper shade of blue

White horses, will never rise to the moon

F Gm7 Bb Dm7

Wind dies at the final chords

Em7 F Am7

The mirror'd waters won't rise no more

F Gm7 Bb Dm7

This night is gonna be so calm

Em7 F Em7 Dm7

Nothing's gonna break this charm..

Bm7 Am7

Suits the same you can't see far

Am7 G

Who's the guy held you close last night

Bm7 Am7

Who's the one didn't treat you right

They've all got chrome alibis

They swear they'd never tell no lies

But one's got a glint in his eye

Crossed your heart and begged to die

D Em7

Who you're gonna pick this time

Dm7 Em7

Who'll give you their party line. In the...

Gm7 Am7 Dm7

Identity Parade

Am7 Gm7 Dm7

Smiling past this soft charade

Gm7 Am7 Dm7

Getting back everything you paid

Am7 Gm7 Dm7

In the Identity Parade

You better hope you got it right

Not be blinded by those dancefloor lights

Music'll take your sense away

Turn those colours into shades of grey

Who you're gonna find'll be

another unsolved mystery. In the...

Gm7 Am7 Dm7

Identity and infidelity

Alibis and white lies

Parades and charades

Petty crimes and wasted lives. In the...

This love don't rise with the tide

C Bm7 Am7

Or go out with the full moon

G Bm7 Am7 Bm7

Beat against the shore like a heart

C Bm7 Am7

That caught the wind too soon

C Bm7

My emotions

Em D C D

Move to a different mood...

C D Em

Still Blue Waters

C Bm7 Am7

Running deep in my mind

C D Em

Still Blue Waters

C Bm7 Am7

Letting my soul decide

G Bm7

How I need your love

C Bm7 Am7

How I know it's right

This love don't freeze with the winter snow

Melt like a torrent in the early spring

Wash away the rocks that hold

Our bodies close through everything

My strong love

Flows like currents in an azure sea

C D Em7 Am7

Still Blue Waters

G F C

Running deep in my mind

This love will take us in its arms

bear us safely through stormy seas

keep us sailing a long way from harm

Take us where we want to be

I want somebody's silver hand

Em G D

To take me to my promised land

D Am Em G

I want some voice against my ear

Em G D

To tell me the sky is clear

Em D Em D

It's my turn to make a win

Tonight my time has come I want a

G D Am Em

Piece of the action

G D C

Piece of the action

I want to live on gotten gains

Want lovers to whisper my name

Take the bull by the horns

Take my place push the rest away. I want a...

This restless burning heart

This spirit is on fire

This soul will never tire. I want a...

I've spent a life watching railcars pass

C Dm7 Em Dm

Seen the faces smiling by

C G Dm Am

Never dared to mount those iron steps

C Dm7 Em Dm

Ride that train while I've still time

Got a ticket in my pocket

Will get me to heaven's door

It's got my name clear upon it

All I got to do is board

Dm7 Em

I know my days are running low

F G

If I don't leave now I'll never go. On that...

C G Am Em

Last train to heaven

F C

I know I just got one last try

F C Am

Before that engine pulls into the sky. It's the

C G Am Em

Last train to heaven

C G F

Yeh the last train to heaven

I've always wanted an easy life

Rest my feet while others fight

A pack of beer and an honest wife

To make me feel alright

I know the hours are ticking fast

If I don't board now my chance is past on that...

G Am

The whistle blows for the final time

C Dm7

I'm safely on that car

G Am

In the company of all God's friends

C G

The saints'll stoke that fire. On the...

These times are like diamonds

F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 G

Rare jewels to hide away

A D F#m7 G

Keep them close to your heart

F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 G

Don't hold them in the light of day

Bm7 F#m7

Capture the moment

Bm7 F#m7

Seal it deep inside

Bm7 A

Capture the moment

C G

Don't let it fade away

Your mem'ries can grow old

Lose their beauty and their shine

Keep them safe in your heart

Don't drink them like a new wine

Capture the moment

Capture the moment

Keep it safe in your soul

You're the only one can know

Save that treasure in your chest

Wrapped in gold and tiger's eye

Save it for a special day

Let it fill your mind with joy

When you don't know if it's night or day

G D Am7 D Em C D

You can't understand what your best friends say

G D Am7 D Em C D

And evrything you see reminds you of them

G D Am7 D Em D C

Every song you hear brings back their name

D G Bm7 C

Unbearable love

G C Bm7

This unbearable love

D G Bm7 C

Unbearable love

G C D

This unbearable love

When the land looks like an endless sea

You just want hope don't need sympathy

Everywhere you go brings sad memories

Every cloud in the sky seems to rain down like this..

C D

Like the weight of a heavy heart

G D Am7 D

This love will tear my soul apart

C D

Push me deep in the ground

G D Am7 D

My ears cry with its deafening sound

Born with a restless raging fire

E F#m A B

Driving me like a shooting star

E A F#m B

Makes me take all wrong roads and

E F#m A B

dance on lakes of white hot coals

Let me swing like a wind blown tree

Roots clinging to a desert sea

No emotions left to fall

Feeling like there's nothing more

C#m7 G#m7

You brought my life around

C#m7 G#m7

Set me on a path of steel

F#m7 G#m7

I look into your loving eyes I

E A

See the way your heart feels...

E F#m7

Slow burning

C#m7 D

That guiding star in your soul

Bm7 F#m7 B

Letting both our bodies know

E F#m7

We're yearning

C#m7 D

Gonna burn till we grow old

Bm7 F#m7 B

Never gonna feel the cold

E F#m7 C#m7 D

Slow burning - like a charcoal fire

E F#m7 C#m7 D

Slow burning - keeps our souls alive

C#m7 G#m7

Never let that wind blow far

C#m7 G#m7

Hold me in that glowing pyre

F#m7 G#m7

Never feel that winter ice

E A

Turn our future to the past

This heart is working overtime

C Em7 Am7 G

All day I've been on five to nine

C G Am7 Dm7

Just give me a chance to dream

C Em7 Am7 G

I'm back in your arms again

The clock strikes the hours away

Tired as me this endless day

My eyes are crying with the strain

My voice is calling out your name

Am7 Em7

Restless love - (You're never gonna sleep)

Am7 Em7

Restless love - (You know you're in too deep)

Am7 Em7

Restless love - (Keeps you up all night)

Am7 Em7

Restless love - (Like a star so bright)

You've got me on a spiral stair

I'm goin' round and goin' nowhere

I gotta try to reach the top

But I'm feeling like I'm gonna drop

F Am7

Let me lie in your heart awhile

G Fmaj7

Rest my head on your weary smile

F Am7

Sing a lovesong in my ear

G Fmaj7

Let me know you're always near

Seeing all the times I tried

G D C

To make things turn out right

G D Em Am7

Comes to nothing just all the time

G D C

Can't see black from white

D Am7

Lyin' in a starry bed

C G

Gazin' at the sky

D Am7

Ask myself what can't be said

C D

Wond'rin if I'll find

G D Em C

A meaning to it all

G D Am7

Can't read the cards that fall

G D Em C

Find the still voice that calls

G D Am7

A meaning to it all

Waking from a sleepless dream

Confusion all around

Clouds of doubt surround my mind

I know I'll never find...

G D Am7 Em7

Open up that ancient book

G D C

Tells us what really lies

G D Am7 Em7

Make the suff'ring all worthwhile

G D C

Let us know that we can find...

So we've hit that place

Em Am7 C G Em

Where the roads divide

Am7 C G

Time to bid farewell

Em Am7 C G Em

Say thanks for the ride

Am7 C G

We've travelled many miles

Em Am7 C G

And fought along the way

Am7 C G

There've been more tears than smiles

Em Am7 C G

And now we gotta say...

C Em Am F Am7 G

We're breaking up it's the end of the line

C Em Am F Dm

We're breaking up what's the use of crying

C Em Am F Am7 G

No making up our paths won't meet again

C Em Am F G

We're breaking up for the last time

Let the rest decide

Who's right and who's wrong

All I know's I tried

And it's me singing this song...

Dm C

The road ahead is dark

Em Fmaj7

Without you by my side

Dm C

The future's cold and dark

Em G

My heart breaks down and dies...

Intro: E B C#m A E F#m G#m A

E B

She's glist'ning the whole day long

C#m A

Her eyes are bright can see no wrong

E B

When she smiles the darkness runs

C#m A

Her face glows like a burning sun

When I take her out at night

She fills the sky with her gentle light

She makes me warm inside

Her heart could make an angel sigh

C#m7 A

She's my golden girl

G#m7 F#

Yeh she's my golden girl

C#m7 F#

She's worth more than silver and pearls

G#m7 A

She's my golden girl

She don't need diamonds to show her worth

I'd give her the moon if she'd hold me first

I don't care for all the rest

She says she loves me best

F#m7 E F#m7 G#m7

She's my prize when I get home

C#m7 F#m7 E D

A rainbow's end I can call my own

E F#m7 G#m7 A

She don't need rings to make her shine

E B C#m A

I take her hand and know she's mine

When you're born with a crooked smile

Am D G Bm7

And your clothes don't fit you right

Am D G Em

You can try for all your life

Am D G Bm7

And never get in sight

You can dream how things could be

If you only got a break

The dice you roll only run to three

You give while others take

Em D C Bm7

You're gazing at an endless sea

Em D C

You know you'll always be...

Em D Em D

Wishing on the wind

Em D Em D

Wishing on the wind

C D

Just fishing in the sand

C D

Holding an empty hand

Em D C

Wishing on the wind

Other ships just glide on by

Their sails full of air

You're going nowhere fast

You're never getting there

You're pushing at a closed door

The only thing you're made for is...

Em D G Bm7

Is it written on your heart

Em C G

You'll never be a star

Em C G Am7

Is it there for all to see

Em D C

That all you'll ever be is...

When it's cast its spell on you

G Bm7 Am7

You know that there's no cure

G Em Bm7 C

There's nothing you can take

G Bm7 Am7

Gonna make your body pure

It's got you in its arms

You're burning in it's heat

It'll drive your soul wild

You feel it's rythm beat. they call it....

G Bm7 Am7

Heartfire

G Em

Sets your world alight

Bm7 Am7

Wakes you up in the heat of the night

G Bm7 Am7

It's heartfire

G Em

Turns black into white

Bm7 Am7

Makes what's wrong seems so right

G Bm7 Am7

It's heartfire

Turns your past into stone

Your future to a haze

Makes you deaf dumb and blind

Your mind's in it's haze. they call it....

C Dm7 Am7 Bm7

What's the medicine for this pain

G Bm7 Am7

Can bring me back again

C Dm7 Am7 Bm7

Just don't make me cry enough

G Bm7 Am7

Don't take away my love. It's...

I saw you cross the street today

Fmaj7 G6

You swung your head in the same old way

Fmaj7 G6

You never once looked round

Fmaj7 G6

Walked off in the rain-swept town

Am7 G6

As the evening draws in

Cm7 Bb

And the cold's my only friend

Fm7 Cm7

I see your face in my mind

Gm7 Fm7

My heart gives a sigh. And it's....

Bb Cm7

All over you

Bb Dm7

This feeling I can't hide

Dm7 Gm7

Turns my day into night

Bb Cm7

It's all over you

Dm7 Eb

There's nothing I can do

Dm7 Gm7

To make me forget you

Bb Fm7 Am7

It's all over you

I heard your voice call my name

It woke me from a sleepless dream

Your laughter in my ears

Your perfume in my tears

As the morning starts to show

And I slip from blue to low

I hear you say goodbye

My voice is crying why. It's...

Dm7 G6 C Bb

What's the point of breaking down

Fm7 Bb Cm7

A grey soul in a grey town

Dm7 G6 C Bb

Why bother with fighting

Fm7 Bb Cm7

When I've lost everything

Stormed out left me all alone

Took my money and all my pride

I ain't got nothing to call my own

E

I need another hand to play

D

Another fool another day. I'm...

A E A

Rolling dice in the game of love

A

I wear my charm upon my sleeve

There's silver in my eye

The sweat is running in my palm

I'm playin', praying to the sky

E

Laying stakes how I'm hopin'

D

I'm shaking my heart is breakin'. I'm

A E A

Rolling dice in the game of love

My fortune hangs on the final throw

I don't know how the chips will go

Is it queens or lonely aces

A E7

I don't know how I'll ever face it I'm...

Rolling dice in the game of love

The first falls see a shining crown

The second aint showing a frown

Her third is pretty with a lady's smile

The fourth looks like she's stayin' awhile

Lady Luck's back at my door

Says she's sorry lets kiss some more. I'm...

Rolling dice in the game of love Yeh I'm

Rolling dice in the game of love Yeh I'm

Rolling dice in the game of love Yeh I'm etc

Who's this blew my life to pieces

A G F#m G

Point blank face to the floor

A G F#m Bm

Shot to kill and never misses

A G F#m G

Left me crying at an open door

D F#m Bm C

Go call the FBI

D A G

Let me tell them before I die. There's a....

Bm G A

Smoking gun in her hand

Bm A G

Six shells on the seat of her car

Bm G A

Finger prints on the trigger and

Bm A G Bm A G

Six bullets, right through my heart

Don't listen to her alibi

'Bout a new man in her life

Don't believe it when she sighs

It was over, she'd said goodbye

She's the one did the crime

If she says she don't love me then she's lying. There's a...

D F#m Bm A

Let her go she'll find another

D F#m Bm A

Take the next one down the line

D F#m Bm A

Another body to recover

D A G

A trail of blood and a love that's died. There's a ....

Those nights seem so long ago

Am C G Em

Holding each other for the first time

Am C G Em

Never needing to ask why

Am C G Em

We loved each other so

Dm G

Making plans

C Am

Clasping each other's hand

Dm G

Vows made by a July moon

C G Dm7

In a field waiting for sunrise

Am C G

Not Forgotten

Dm7 Am C Em

The words I said that day

Am C G

Not Forgotten

Dm7 Am C Dm7

Together come what may

Older and saner

Seeing the years come and go

Everything changes

But one thing stays the same

F G

The future clouds the past

C Am

And beauty fades away

F G

Our promises made to last

C G Dm7

And love don't need to say

Call me childlike

G A Bm7

'Cos I stay up on a summers' eve

E Bm7

Still dreaming that I might see

G A Bm7

An angel fall

Call me simple

When I rise before the dawn

To lie on a dew soaked lawn

And feel the sunrise

G D

I still believe

Em D

In the light in your eyes

G Bm7

And the stars high above

C Bm7

Yes I still believe

Am7

In true love

Tell me stories

How things aren't as I say

And I've got to learn to hide away

My feelings

Say my name

Make me hear those words fall

Like footsteps in an empty hall

And a closing door

E Bm7

Let me hope

E Bm7

There's still a way out of here

E Bm7

And there's an end to my fears

G A Bm7

You'll be always near

So you don't want me around

F#m7 Bm7

Out of sight and out of mind

Bm7 C#m7

Paid my journey to far away

F#m7 B#m7

A one way ticket into history

Say you'll hurt me if I ask for more

Don't go knocking at your door

Just because I played your heart

Spent your money and drove your car

C#m7 D C#m7 F#m7

Baby can't you see

Bm7 C#m7 D E

Just give me some sympathy. And this is...

Bm7 E Bm7 E

Blackmail

Bm7 E Bm7 E

Yeh its blackmail

Bm7 C#m7

If I yield to your crazy demands

D E

I'll never get back to your arms

Bm7 E Bm7 E

Yeh this is blackmail

Bm7 E Bm7 E

It's blackmail

Bm7 E

You thought I was too wild

F#m7 Bm7

Might disrupt your suburban style

Bm7 E

Didn't want the folks to know

F#m7 Bm7 E

Had your kicks then said baby...baby go. And this is...

Bm7 E Bm7 E Bm7 E Bm7 E

It's blackmail - you know its a crime

Bm7 E Bm7 E Bm7 E Bm7 E

It's blackmail - what's yours is mine

Bm7 C#m7

If I yield to your crazy demands

D E

I'll never get back to your arms

It's blackmail - you know it's a sin

It's blackmail - you're never gonna win

It's blackmail etc

Out all night

Never out of sight

Dressed in rags

Colours fade to a face of clay

With a heart of hay

Never able to make a pass

With fingers soft as grass

And arms stiff as masts

I'm a scarecrow

I'll scare the birds away

Never able to say

I need someone

I'm a scarecrow

My head is full of straw

I'll never even fall

At a maiden's feet

Nor able to dance

Or sing an old love song

Can never right a wrong

Or give a girl a chance

I'm a scarecrow

I'll scare the birds away

Can never hope to pray

For a one night stand

I'm a scarecrow

I've never wanted gold

Just a hand to hold

In the winter nights

You've been searching

G A Bm7

Sailing on the seven seas

E Bm7

I know you've been hurting

G A Bm7

You've been needing some company

I've been waiting

Just longing for someone

Sent messages on the waves

Hoping that you'd come

A Bm7

X marks the spot

A Bm7

Where my heart lies

A C#m7

X marks the spot

D

The chart never lies

A Bm7

My love's waiting

A Bm7

For your gentle eye

A C#m7

X marks the spot

D

Till the day I die

Take ten paces to the east

Past a windblown tree

Leave the shadow of your past

Then you'll find me

C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m7

I'll be your treasure for all time

C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m7

Keep you rich through the years

C#m7 F#m7 C#m7 F#m7

I'll be gold around your wrist

C#m7 F#m7 Bm7 C#m7

And diamonds in your eyes

So it's over

A F#m7 Bm7

No more chance to right the

A Em

Tears of a thousand wrongs

Bm7 G

Say the words that could

A F#m7 Bm7 A

Set the verse to a hundred songs

Em

Saying the same thing

F#m G D Em

Just give me another day

F#m G A

Another way to try and say

Bm7 F#m7

I could have loved you more

Bm7 F#m7

I could have let you know

Em F#m7

Before you had to go

Bm7 A Em

Yeh I could have loved you more

Now you're dust

Cast on the waves of a

Cold deep forgetful sea

Leaving just the scent

Of your gentle legacy

G

On my mind

F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7

There's too much left unsaid

F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7

Too much still unclear

F#m7 G D Em

My heart can't hold the heavy weight

F#m7 G A

Of a lifetime's guilty years

See where a fire burned

D C G

And colours danced on walls

Bm7 Am7

Your laughter filled the rooms

G Em D

Your welcome lit the hall

Now moonlight shines

With an eye as cold as stone

You took away the love

That made this place a home

Em D C Am

And this house is an empty house

G Em

Your heart has flown

Am D

Only ghosts remain

G Em D

In this empty house

No music will sound loud

Or romance fill the air

This address is solitude

Now you're gone elsewhere

Em C

The key lies hidden

G Bm7

In the place we knew

C D

It'll stay waiting

G - Bm7 Am7

For noone else but you

And this house is an empty house

Your love has gone

Leaving me alone

In this empty house

Pull the curtains tight as night

E F#m7 G D

Close the door and kill the sky

A D Bm7

Let me touch your quiet face

E F#m7 G D

Feel your skin as smooth as ice

A Bm7 C#m7 Bm7

Whisper words that can't be said

A E Bm7

When I'm gazing in your eyes

A Bm7 C#m7 Bm7

Say those things that dare not speak

A E Bm7

Their secrets in the light. In a..

A E F#m7 D A Bm7 C#m7 Bm7

Darkened room - You can't see no sins

A E F#m7 D A Bm7 C#m7 Bm7

In a darkened room - We can live our dreams

A E F#m7 D A Bm7 C#m7 Bm7

A darkened room - Takes our fears away

A E F#m7 D A Bm7 C#m7 D

We'll forget the cold light of day

There's no moon to cast an eye

And make your blue emotions cry

Bring our future stealing past

Our conscience darkly with a sigh

Feel the darkness look away

As I take your hand in mine

Noone cares if none knows

What only we can find. In a...

A darkened room - keeps our sense away

A darkened room - where we can play

A darkened room - no light of day

A darkened room - takes out cares away

I saw you late last night

G D Em

Leave the house with no sound

D Am

Stole out into cold moonlight

G D Em

Crossed the fields towards town

D Em C G

What's this feeling coming over me

D Em G

Things aint what they're meant to be. It's...

Am G

Witchcraft

D Em

You cast a spell on me

C G

Turned love into jealousy

Am G Em

With your witchcraft

I heard you whisper my name

While you were gazing at the sky

You said it would rain again

Told me go inside

What turned your love away

Made me weak and feel afraid. It's...

C G D Am

Give me back your angel charm

C G Em

And the smile in your eyes

C G D Am

Turn from darkness to the kind day

C G D

Let our love not not need to say. It's...

It's Witchcraft

You put a spell on me

Turned love into jealousy

It's witchcraft etc

You're further now than you've ever been to me

Em F C Dm7

I don't know how my hopes can still breathe

So many years since I held your hand in mine

Thinking it could lead to more than sunsets in my mind

G F

Don't wake me up too soon

C Dm7 C Dm7 G

There's still a chance while there's still a moon...

F Em

Keep my dreams alive

F G Am F C Am G

Don't let them fade in the light of day

F Em

Just keep them safe

F G Am F C Am G

In my soul's embrace not drift away

C Dm7

Maybe you can't remember my name

Em F

Cast me off like a candle on the waves

C Dm7

Left to burn when your love had gone

F G

Could I have been so wrong

You mean more now than you've ever meant to me

I don;t know how this heart will be free

Keep my dreams alive

Don't want to wake, my heart would break

Keep my dreams alive

Just let me sleep, your spirit keep

It could have been so right

A D

Love at the meeting of our eyes

A D

You could have seen the light

E7

Cried Baby let's make a life

You could have said okay

No need to kneel and say

With you I can do no wrong

Take me slowly all night long

D A

But you made it plain as light

Bm7 E7

I might as well give up the fight

D A

You had no sympathy

Bm7 E7

You wouldn't even give me...

Chorus:

D E

One beat of your heart

F#m7 D A Bm7 E7

Not the ghost of a glance

D E

Or the shadow of a chance

F#m7 D A Bm7 E7

Not a beat of your heart

Sold the world for just a smile

And hoped that you'd stay a while

But you frowned and turned away

Put me down and wouldn't play

And you walked off down the street

Wouldn't waste your time on me

There was no chemistry

And you wouldn't even give me...

So I guess I'll look elsewhere

Go to someone who don't care

Pay my money to have a wish

You'll never know and you won't miss...

Now the fightings done

B E

And the tears have dried

F#m A

I don't care who won

B F#m

And who lost their pride

C#m7 F#

Let's just call it a day

C#m7 A

And make it a special night

C#m7 F#

Forget all our troubles and

A B

See it's all right. It's

E F# A B

Kissing time

E F# A B

Yeh its kissing time

C#m7 F#

Time to hold each other close

C#m7 A

And let our passions loose

E F# A

It's kissing time

Now the crying's done

And the moment's past

I see your smile and

I know this love will last

C#m7 A

When it's leaving time

E F#m

And I've got to fly away

C#m7 A

I'm gonna feel so fine

F#m A B

And I'll be back next day. For my...

Where did I meet you

A Em Bm7

I can't recall the time and place

D Bm7 A Em

Just remember seeing your face

Bm7

Saying what do you do

Bm7 Em

You said what's new

Bm7 A Em

Then filled my soul with your gentle grace

Bm7 Em Bm7 A

Gave me the just the faintest trace

Em A

Of heaven. You said...

Bm7 G A F#m

Let's burn yeh let's burn

Em F#m

Go on set my heart alight

Bm7 A

The fire of love can burn so bright

Em

Let's burn

I feel your chest

beating with your hot desire

Wanting me to be your star

Not like the rest

Put you to the test

Drive you like a racing car

Make you feel you've gone too far

And still want more

I want a lady with long black hair

A G D

One to make them turn and stare

A G D

Skin as fair as a bourbon sky

A G D

A body lean as a needle's eye

A G D

I want a...

Chorus:

E D

Tall dark woman

E D

Yeh a tall dark woman

A G D

Myst'ry in her glance

A G D

A look that gives a chance of a

E D

Tall dark woman

E D

Just a tall dark woman

I want to take her out to play

Hold her close feel her body sway

Make her sigh all through the night

See her wake in the morning light

I want a...

Chorus

Verse instrumental

F#m G

I'll never let her go

D A

And I'll let everybody know

F#m G

She's the only one for me

D A

If she got me tamed I don't wanna be free from my...

Chorus

Passion in her eyes

Legs reaching the sky

My tall dark woman

Yeh my tall dark woman

Myst'ry in her glance

A look that gives a chance of a

Tall dark woman

Yeh a tall dark woman etc

That look in your eyes

F#m Bm7 A Em F#m

Like a lighthouse on a winter night

A Bm7 Em

Shining 'cross a stormy sea

F#m Bm7 A Em F#m

Watching people pass you by

C#m7 Bm7

Was that hope

A Bm7

That crossed your face like a cloud

C#m7 Bm7

Made you stop

F#m G

Saw me in the crowd

A C#m7 Bm7

Are you looking for someone

F#m Bm7

Who can take you far away

A Em7

Who will set your spirit free

A C#m7 Bm7

Are you looking for someone

F#m Bm7

Who'll hold you like a child

A Em7

Bring your love alive

A C#m7 Bm7

And who's looking just like me

Did you turn away

With sadness in your lonely eyes

'Cos you couldn't face another way

To be told goodbye

Give me a chance

To be what you've always dreamed

Can be someone to take your hand

Be everything I seem

Streets are heaving

Everybody's looking for something

I don't want anything

Just a smile from your face

A chance to live in the same space

As you

F G

Friday Girl

Am G Am G

Seven days a week

I could never speak

What you mean to me

Friday Girl

With a gentle hand

I could be your man

For a lifetime

When it's time to close

You've gone on a crowded bus

Like someone anonymous

Somewhere I can't find

Till next Friday comes around

And I'm waiting

Am F

I could be your Crusoe

C G

We'd live in a shack by the sea

Am F

Make love under a palm tree

C G

In the whispering sands

So it's me and the stars

Am7 Dm7

And a borrowed guitar

Am7 Gm7

Dancing the night away

Dm7 Gm7 C

Maybe the shy moon

Am7 Dm7

Wants to play too

Am7 Gm7

Hiding from the sight of day

Out here on the tiles

We can act wild

Can drink to tomorrow

A glass of cool air

With a night owl's stare

To drown all our sorrows. We're

Dm7 Gm7 Bb C

Out on the roof

Dm7 Gm7 Bb C

Yeh we're out on the roof

Dm7 Am7 Bb C

No need to go back inside

Dm7 Am7 Bb C

Out here in an August sky we're

Dm7 Gm7 Bb C

Out on the roof

Dm7 Gm7 Bb C

Yeh out on the roof

A stray cat's howl

With his gang on the prowl

He knows how it feels

Put out on the street

With the shadows to eat

And trouble at his heels. He's...

Am7 Gm7

When morning comes around

Am7 Gm7

And it's time to come on down

Am7 Gm7

Will you open up the door

Bb C

Or leave us lying more...

Out on the roof etc
