You don't know how I care

C Em Am G

How much you mean to me

C Em F G

How your sight makes me stare

C F G F

Your sweet voice in my ear

You'll never call my name

When you need a lovers hand

Or say its me you'll blame

When your dreams turn to sand. But...

F C

Anywhere you go

F C

Anything you do

Em F G

I'll be waiting

F C

Anytime you fall

F C

Anyway you call

Em F C

I'll come running

You'll never see my face

When you look into your past

I'll be just an empty space

In a faded photograph. But...

Am F G Em

There'll always be a home

Am C G

Waiting here for you

Am F G Em

You'll never be alone

Am C G

You know this much is true. And...

There's no time

Dm7 G

To let these feelings brew all night

C Em

Filter my emotions

Dm7 Am7 G

Let it cool to mix it right

Make it fast

Working through my lonely mind

Bring my heart alive

Will you help me find. Some...

C F G C F G

Instant Love, yeh some instant love

Am F

You know I can't wait

C G

Can't leave it up to fate. Give me some

C F G C F G

Instant Love, yeh some instant love

Don't care if it fades

With the cold morning sun

Leaving just a taste

Of what it could've become.

C F C G

Instant Love - Gimme what I need

Instant Love - So I can sleep

Instant Love - I can see it in your eyes

Instant Love - Ease this lonely mind

Instant Love, yeh some instant love

You know my heart'll break

If we can't make some

Instant Love, yeh some instant love

Running all night

A C G

Signals green like your eyes

Em D

The lights red as my fire

G D

Crossing new country

A C

Swaying in its soft embrace

G Em D

Seeing the passion in your face. we got...

Love on a train

D C D

Heading no-one knows

G C Em

Love on a train

D C D

We don't care where it goes

Sparks fly

Going straight down the line

Bodies moving in perfect time

Engines roar

Strain with a heavy load

A head of steel on an iron road. We got...

Am G Em C

Keep it going right down the track

G Em C D

Don't get off and never look back

Am G Em C

We don't need an all-night travel pass

G Em C D

When we ride it'll be first class. We got...

Love on a train

Don't care about your past

Love on a train

Make this journey last

I'm gazing at an empty hand

Am7 Bm7

Kings and Queens have flown away

G Bm7

I begged the aces stay around

Am7 G Bm7

The Joker had to change his mind anyway

The hearts left in your embrace

Clubs thought they'd join in too

Diamonds would have liked to stay

Spades had something else to do

Am7 G

You're holding all the cards

Am7 Em Am7

I can't win, ain't got a chance in this game of

G Am7

Misere

Em Bm7

I can't pull a single trick it's

G Am7

Misere

Em Bm7 Am7

You got me beat and I'm losing it

So you wanted sweet revenge

'Bout the way I treated you

Thought You'd get back what was lent

Move on to somebody new in this game of..

That first look

A Am7 G#m7 C#m7

Can set your mind on a carousel

F#m7 G#m7

Make your head spin round

C#m7

Turn your life to a fairytale

F#m7 G#m7

But when the music stops

F#m7 G#m7

And the morning comes

F#m7 G#m7

The masks are dropped

A B

And the dreams have gone

C#m7 A

Only love remains

B F#m7

The fire's become a steady glow

C#m7 A

Only love remains

B F#m7

Its only then you know

C#m7 B

How you need someone

F#m7 A B

And only love remains

That first touch

Bodies move in perfect time

Like they were meant to be

Lines that make a perfect rhyme

But when the money's flown

And the children cry

Beauty fades with the dawn

And then you know why...

G Em D A G

I'm in too deep I know this river's wide

A D

These tears I cried

G Em D A G

Waiting for that special one to find

Don't want to hide

Gotta show these feelings here inside

I aint got no pride

Let me show you I aint dignified

F#m Bm7

Step closer

G Em A

It's time to come inside. I got a ...

Em A Em A

Naked ambition - Do you feel it breathe

Em A Em A

Naked ambition - Its there for you to see

D A G A Bm7

Naked ambition - You mean ev'rything to me

Clothes can hide my skin

But they won't make a mannequin

I aint scared to win

And I can be your heroine

Touch my body

This is where the show begins. I got a...

Naked ambition - Gotta get my way

Naked ambition - Don't care what people say

Naked ambition - Won't wait another day

Em A Bm7

Naked, like my nature intended

Em A D A G A

Ambition, This aint pretended

So honour's all that counts

G D A

When things don't go as planned

G A Bm7 Em

You took off like a legionnaire

G D A

Prove yourself in a foreign land

Wouldn't stay to see things through

Give our love a second try

Had to make it on your own

Throw your fortune to the skies

D A G

Nobody knows where you're lying

D A Em

You've left a heart that's crying. You're..

D Em F#m G

Missing in action

D F#m G

In a war you couldn't win

D Em F#m G

Missing in action

D A Em

You won't be back again

Noone's gonna forge a medal

To someone lost without a name

You'll be just a piece of history

burned in an eternal flame

Noone cares who's right or wrong

You're just an echo of an old battle song

Missing in action

You aint even got a gun

Missing in Action

Love was lost when you thought you'd won

D F#m G A

So you've got me saying I'm sorry

D A Em

And I'm wishing you were back with me

Intro: F C Gm7 Bb, F C Gm7

F Am7

When it shines

Gm7 C Dm7

Like a moon in a starlit sky

Gm7 Am7

Seems like it smiles

Dm7 Am7 Gm7

Brings joy to you and me

The world turns

Everything goes our way

We aint afraid of the night

And dream of summer days

F C Bb Gm7

But there's a side we both hide

F Am7 Gm7

Keep it hidden far away

F C Gm7 Bb

The dark side of your heart

F C Gm7

Drives you crazy with its power

F C Gm7 Bb

Makes you turn from sweet to sour

F C Gm7

It's the dark side of your heart

It won't ever show its face

When my eager love is new

It'll hide away in space

Till I think your heart is true

Then the doubts steal your mind

And I see it coming through

The dark side of your heart

Makes you say what you'll regret

Do things you'd rather forget

It's the dark side of your heart

Dm7 Am7 Gm7

Only truth will see us through

Bb Am7 D

Turn your love back to what we knew

Is this an unholy communion

Bm G

Lovers meeting in the dead of night

Bm G

Afraid to talk out loud

Em A

Whispering out of sight

Em D

You know how its gonna end

Em A

A broken heart that never ends

G D Em D

The way of all flesh (Like touching your skin)

G D Em D

The way of all fleash (Is a deadly sin)

G D Em D

The way of all flesh (Like we're in a vice)

G D Em A

The way of all flesh (gotta pay the price)

This aint no fairytale

The story don't turn out right

The prince should have stayed at home

He never would have met Snow White

You know what people say

And this is our reckoning day

Em D

Body to body (body to body)

G A

Mind to mind (mind to mind)

Em D

Don't care if its a crime

G A

As long as you're mine

Intro: Am7 Dm7 Am7 Em7 x2

Am7 Dm7 Am7

Its just the way you catch my eye

Em7

When I come to the door

Am7 Dm7 Am7

Like your heart just gave a sigh

Em7

Fell to the floor

Its just the way you take my call

When you hear me speak

Your voice is sounding far away

It seems the line is weak

Dm7 Am7

I know you think I'm being a fool

Dm7 Am7

And there's no need to care at all

Dm7 Em7 Am7 G F

It's just a feeling deep in my soul

Am7 Em7 Dm7

That you don't love me anymore

Its not something you ever said

Or coldness in your style

There's never anger in your head

I never made you cry

I know you say its in my mind

And I'm seeing what's not there

It's just a feeling deep in my soul

That you don't love me anymore

Dm7 Em7 Am7 G F

Its just a feeling I don't know for sure

Am7 Em7 Dm7

That you don't love me anymore

You can put a bullet through my heart

A G D E7

Tell me you're leaving blow my world apart

A D E F#m

Shoot your poisoned words in my ear

A G D

Run away and never shed a tear

A Bm7

I'm telling you it aint that clean

A G

And you know I'll be back again. Cos...

D-G-Em-A D F#m G

I don't die easy

D-G-Em-A-D-F#m-G

No I don't die easy

F#m G

Don't expect me to lay down quiet

D A

Let you go without a fight

D-G-Em-A-D-A-G

I don't die easy

You can drive me mad with your lies

Hope I'll jump from somewhere high

Make me drink too much moonshine jack

Leave me sleeping on a railroad track

I'm telling you I'll come crawling in

And I'll be back to life again. Cos...

A Bm7

I guess you took me on for life

A G

You won't be someone else's wife

A Bm7

I'm gonna live till ninety five

A G

And right now I'm very much alive. And...

Intro: A (swing beat)

A D F#m G

Just because I dress real cute don't

D A Em G

Mean I can't hold moonshine hooch and

A D F#m G

I can drive cars just as fast as

D A G

Any man when I get the blast

Maybe smoking aint my style

But I can burn for a line-dance mile

I can shoot as straight as a die

And hook a marlin with one flash of an eye

Em A Em A

You say it aint lady like but I'm

D A Em

Tellin' you I aint the type cos'...

Chorus:

G D A Bm7

Girls will be boys

F#m G D A

You aint having all the fun and

G D A Bm7

That aint how the West was won cos

G A Bm7

Girls will be boys

When I gamble I play for keeps

And when I bargain I don't come cheap

I aint afraid to shoot the falls

Or play the deuce in a gambling hall

You can call it acting rough

But honey you aint tough enough. Cos...

Em A Em A

Being strong don't mean you're dumb

D A G

Don't mean you have to hurt someone

Em A Em A

Two can drink from a whisky glass

D A Em

And sleep together under the stars. And...

I'm tossing about all night

C Am Em F

Don't wanna turn on the light

C F G

See your face with its silky smile

C Am F G

Wonder who you're with awhile

Are those zee's you're catching there

Or X's blown at someone's hair

Who's that got a hold your hand

Is this the sleep of the damned

F G Am Em

Who are you dreaming of

Am F C G

Who's getting what they shouldn't oughta have

F G Am Em

You aint moonlighting on my love

F G Am G

Baby who are you dreaming of

I heard you whisper a name

Was it a long lost flame

When you woke you gave a sigh

Wouldn't look me in the eyes

Now it seems you're always tired

Can't wait to see the stars

Say you got a long day ahead

Gotta hurry get to bed

F G

Hey baby this has gone to far

Am Em

I aint part of your menage a trois

F G

You know how much I care

Am Em F G

That beauty sleep is my nightmare

I'll wear gloves when I touch your skin

F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7

Fingers would leave a sign

Am7 G Dm7 Em7

Perfume lingers in your hair

F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7

Lipstick smears a glass of wine

Am7 G Dm7 Em7

Noone ever need to know

F#m7 Bm7 F#m7 Bm7

I've been coming to your door

Am7 G Dm7 Em7

The masquerade is still complete

F#m7 Bm7 Dm7 G

Noone's gonna know for sure. I'll be your...

When you dial I'll know your tone

And I'll say there's some mistake

You'd better try another line

there's noone here of that name

And noone aint never gonna guess

What's going on behind

I'll come running ease your pain

Make you feel so fine

Em Am7 Dm7 G

I don't care what's going on

Em7 Am7 Dm7 G

Love is blind when the feelings strong

Its easy to follow a crowd

D Em7 G D

For miles on a twisted road

C Em7 Am7

Noone likes to walk alone

D Em7 G D

Without someone to share their load

And when you ask yourself

Do you think you did right or wrong

You can just shrug it off

Say you were tagging along

Bm7 Am7 G D

But when you look back

Bm7 Am7 G D

What you gonna say

Bm7 Am7 G D

When you see what you've done

Bm7 Am7 Em7

Why'd you go that crazy way. And...

C-Bm7-Am7-Bm7

If it don't feel right

C-Bm7-Am7-Bm7

And it don't look right

C-Bm7-Am7-Bm7

And you know it aint right

C-Bm7-Am7

Don't do it

Its hard to turn around

When you're part of a raging flow

When your friends are pushing hard

Your voice is not sounding loud

But ask yourself later on

How you gonna explain

You were weak when you could've been strong

And you must have been insane.

Bm7 Am7 G D

Things don't have to be that way

Bm7 Am7 Em7

Just listen to what your heart says..

If it don't sound right

And it don't taste right

And you know it aint right

Don't do it

Intro: G D Em C, G D C D (Country Waltz)

G Em D C

Gonna be just oh so good

G D C D

Say my prayers like I know I should

G Em D C

Make my xmas list in time

G D C D

Hope that Santa's feeling kind

G D Em C

All I want's xmas with you

G D C D

Yeh all I want this year is you

G D Em C

Lose the old ring in the new

G D Am7

Yeh all I want's xmas with you

I don't need no jewels and pearls

Or things that please the other girls

Don't bother hanging mistletoe

The only one I'm kissing's you

Em D

All I want's to see your smile

Em D

And hold you in my arms awhile

C G

Feel your breath against my skin

D Am7

And know you'll be back again

Snow can fall around the park

But it won't cool my burning heart

I'll stay close to the fire

And you can be my guiding star

All day it never waits

Bm7 Am7

Lights change people trade

C G

Words as long as a taxi fare

Bm7 Am7

Deals made bills paid

Em7

And only space to whisper a prayer

Five o'clock Its time to stop

Make it home before you drop

Those blocks became real estate

Leased out to the people of the

Night. Its the....

C Bm7 Em7 Am7

Naked City

C Bm7 Em7 Am7

Its the naked city

C D G Em

No suits to keep it warm

C G Bm7 Am7

Just rags on a homeless dawn

C Bm7 Am7

Its the naked city

Neon lights its dayglow lips

And whisky's cheap perfume

Sirens cry its serenades

And gunshots light the rooms

An alleyway's a hotel suite

Rents at a twenty an hour

A shower of rains in it for free

And a newspaper at your door. Its the...

C Bm7 Am7 G

Morning rises on a greenback sun

C Bm7 Am7 G

The city dresses for its daytime run

C Bm7 Am7 G

Laptops boot the moonlight away

C Bm7 Am7

The shadows hide in the light of day. Its the..

Don't run away

C F G F

Pretend that you no longer care

C G F G

Twist your face to a frown

C F G F

Turn your soft smile to a hardwood stare

Swear its over

And you don't want me around

Say what you don't really mean

Let your heart beat with no sound

Am G

You don't need to make me cry

Dm7 G

Hide the light that's in your eyes

C G F G

C G F G

C G F G

C G F G

C G F G

C G F G

C G F G C G F G

Don't call me names

Turn away like you don't want to dance

Don't play those games

Give our love a second chance

You don't need to be so cool

And play it only by your rules

Am F C G

Let your love shine - like the sun in my eyes

Am F C G

Let your love shine - Let it dry away my tears

You're the fiercest of them all

Am7 Em7

Fought like a dog in the war for my soul

Am7 Em7

Led the charge of the sight brigade

Am7 Em7

Came home wounded with your honour saved

Your battles span five hundred years

Your campaigns cast a thousand tears

Your dress shines with blood and gold

You're the only one I need to hold

Am7 G

Don't want no civvy street-wise man

Dm7 Am7

Or a lover who's scared to fight for my hand

Am7 G

Give me a chance to see you march by

Dm7 G

Hear the echoes of your battle cry

I don't care much for politics

Or the workings of the state

Who's doing what to God knows who

Or who's become a disgrace

I know where my honour lies

Who's flagpole I'll acclaim

To whom I'll make a loyal toast say

It's Bottoms Up again...Let's

I won't cry for absent friends

Or lovers from my past

I'll kneel down to that jewelled crown

Hope its golden reign will last

So be upstanding one and all

Hold your tankards high

Its butts in the ashtray

Here's mud in your eye... Let's

God save our country

And save our famous queens

Bring another to your lips

Don't bother where its been... Let's.

You're nursing a broken dream

Am G F

Splintered in your past

C F G Em

The victim of a hit and run

Am G F

From a lightning bolt of chance

C F G Em

The pain you suffered then

Am G F

Holds you to the floor

C F G Em

It's time to rise again

Am F G

Drop those memories and soar

Just taste the new blown air

That's never heard a sigh

Feel the passion of your power

That won't question why

F G Am G F G

Take your bearing on the sun

F G Am G F

You won't touch the ground again

C G Dm Am7

I can't make it out tonight

Bb Dm G

Gotta stay home early night

C Em C Em

Get my clothes off into bed

F C G

Catch some zee's around my head

Make it back to land of nod

Start again where I left off

Fight some dragons in the air

Put my face against your hair

F C Dm7 Am7

Will you wake me from this spell

F C Dm7 Am7

Pull me from your wishing well or

F C Dm7 Am7

Will you stay and always be

Bb Am7 G

The girl in my dreams

The morning light hurts my eyes

I've left your side with no goodbyes

Gotta last another day

Before its time to hit the hay

Will you switch off my arcade

Drop the mask in my charade

Or will you stay and always be

The Girl in my dreams

Will I meet you in the street

Catch your eye say something sweet

Let you move from play to real

Break that wall forever sealed

The Girl in My Dreams

The Girl in My Dreams [ad lib to chorus]

I want to spend some time with you

A D

Drink wine and feel so fine

A D

I want to walk down the line with you

A D

Make you smile and see you shine

Bm7 C#m7

And you know I aint lying

D

Gonna keep on trying...This

D-E-A-Bm7

Crazy feeling

D-E-A-Bm7

This crazy feeling

D-E - A - Bm7

This love will drive us wild

D - E - F#m7

This crazy feeling

I want to spend winter nights with you

And see the morning light

Hold your hand through summer rains

And know you feel its right

And you know this is insane

Gonna stay an eternal flame with this...

Bm7 C#m7

Don't want things crystal clear

Bm7 C#m7

Change the moon to a time of year

Bm7 C#m7

Ge my feet back on the ground

D

Turn this madness right around.. This..

You look at me

F G C F G

With the eyes of someone to a child

C G

Laughter breaks

F G C F G

The lines of your face into a smile

Dm Am7

I kiss your cheek goodbye

Bb Am7 G

A faintest tremble in my lips

Dm Am7

Afraid to let you feel

Bb Am7 D

The passion that's hiding deep. And I want to be...

Am7 Em7 Am7 Em7

More than friends

Am7 Em7 Am7 Em7

More than friends

F C

Your love is not enough

Am7 G

Without your body's touch

Dm Am Em7

I need to be more than friends

We think as one

Great minds working the same way

There's no silence

Finding the right thing to say

I wish you luck

In your search for happiness

Afraid to let you know

There's no greater heart than this. And I want to be...

F C G Am

If I told you how I feel

F C G Am

Would it turn your love to cold cold steel

F C G Am

Or would you take me in your arms

F C D

Whisper in my ear, I want to be...

So we took a chance

Em C -- D

Swam together in our bodies flow

G D

Didn't care where it would go

Em

If we came as one

A meets O in a rising tide

Like it could set our love on fire

Make two ends of a tightrope wire

Pull us close as one

D C

You're my blood brother

D G - C

We made a sacred vow

D G - C

You aint leaving no way now

D C

You're my blood brother

D G - C

Together till the end of time

D G - C

Your blood running in my veins

D C

You're my blood brother

Em

And you're mine

What's mixed can't come apart

Gets deeper with each day

You know you'll never find a way

To get me outta your soul

I'll live in your past

Be there when you laugh and cry

Take your hand on a summer's day

Till the end of time

C - D - Em - C

If your blood spilled on the ground

G - D Em

You know I'd die without a sound

C - D - Em -- C

And if you tried to say goodbye

G - D - Em

My heart would beat and cry...

Chorus etc

Intro: Am7 Dm7 x3, Fmaj7 Am7 G

C G

The smile from your face

Am Em

Is worth more than dreams can tell

Am C

You make me feel a fool

Dm7 Am7 Gm7

And I'm guilty of all that's cruel

Western dreams

Destroyed your hope of innocence

But they couldn't take away

Dm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7

The light that shines to the world from your

Fmaj7 Am7 G

Beautiful soul

Fmaj7 Am7 G

Your beautiful soul

Am7 Dm7

If I could hold just one ray

Am7 Dm7

Turn my night into day

Am7 Dm7

And If I could only find a way to your

Fmaj7 Am7 G

Beautiful soul

Fmaj7 Am7 G

Your beautiful soul

The laughter of a child

Is worth more than stones of glass

And a lifetime's actions past

On a road paved with broken hearts

Don't let it grind you down

A flower under the wheels of time

left with no love in a lonely town

Without the light that shines...

Intro: G D Am7, G D C+9

G Am7

You were just sitting there

D Em

Chance just brought me by

G D

The beach is such a lonely place

Am7

When the monsoon falls

I couldn't stay for long

Had another waiting by

I sat and asked your name

And you smiled into my eyes

G D

Just for an hour

Am7 D

It was like I was still free

Em C

We could be young lovers

D

Touching for the first time

You said you'd soon be gone

got work in a far town

You'd sing to strangers

It would turn out right

Then I had to run

Guilt burning in my eyes

And my heart like a carousel

spinning out of control

I've heard those tales before

Cried when I heard the news

Its the innocent who suffer

And the beautiful who lose

What can I do [chords from link]

To make sure you'll be fine

I need to know you'll be fine

If you can never be mine

I can only dream

We might one day meet again

But this aint no fairytale

Just a story filled with pain.

Intro: Am G F G, C G Dm G

C G Dm Em

Just forget you ever saw my face

C Am Dm G

Wash my memory from your past

C Em Dm G

Don't expect you'll hear me call

C G Dm G

Your name in a crowded bar

F - C

I'll be calling

F - G Am - Em Am - Em

In my sleep at night

F G

The crystal beauty of your perfect face

Am - F G

Etched forever in my mind. Just...

Just forget the times we laughed

And the sunsets in my arms

And the bitter hand of circumstance

Saying things couldn't last

I'll be calling

Until the day I die

And I'll be crying

Till the end of time...

Let the sun shine on you

D G A

Let the rains make the rice grow

D G A

Let the wind blow your boats to shore

D G A

All through the year

Bm7 Em A

May your temples be divine

Bm7 Em A

May your hearts forever shine

D G A

May your king rule for all time

Em C Am7 D

In Amazing Thailand

Em C Am7 D

Your Amazing Thailand

Em C Am7 D

Amazing Thailand

Em

Amazing Thailand

Let the grace of your style

Teach the world your easy smile

Let your love go for miles

All around the world

Bm7 Em A

And of all the things to see

Bm7 Em A

From the mountains to the crystal sea

D G A

The most amazing thing for me

Em C Am7 D

Is your innocent beauty

Em

Yeh your beauty

Clouds are raging

Am G F G

Wolves are waiting at my door

Am G F G

Nights are closing in

Am G F G

Don't think I'll take much more

Sinking in a big sea

Reason's fading fast

This time I just don't know

How long I'm gonna last. And this is...

Dm7 G

An end to everything

F G Am G F G

Everything I hold dear

Dm7 G

All the things I could've done

F G Am G F G

An end to all the fears

Dm7 Am7

And I think that this might be

G

An end to everything

All those faces

And strange places that I've been

Will they remember my name

Or will it always seem...

C G

Is this the final chord

Dm7 G

In a song played on a cracked guitar

Am7 G F

The strings are breaking in my hands

Am7 G F G

And this is the final bar

This impression

Em7 Am7 G Dm7 G

Is stronger than my soul can take

Dm7 G Am7

This obsession

Em7 Am7 Em7 G

With hopes turned to heartaches

Em C Dm7 G Am7 G F

End my desire, take this love away

Em C Dm7 G Am7 G F

Put out the fire, I don't need you to say

Am7 G F

I miss your face, and I need you to stay

Em C Dm7 G Am7 G F

End my desire, take this love away

This procession

Emotions on a road to hell

A cruel lesson

When you're in its spell

Am G F

End my desire - What's it ever given me

Am G F

End my desire - A broken heart and misery

Em C Dm7 G

Put out the fire - Cool my passions flame

Am G F

End my desire - Dont wanna play this game

This possession

Don't think I'll soon be free

My confession

Can't turn love to history

An open door

G Dm7 Am7

Fire's warm lights dance on walls

Em

Who could ever want more

Dm7

From life

F7 Am7

But something's left outside

G Dm7

Its crying in the frozen night

Am7 Em

The love that held our future's bright

Dm7

Won't you let it in?

Tell me why

D

When it should be so good

Dm7 Am7

Your love won't shine like I know it should

C G Dm7

And I'm only lonely with you

C G Dm7

Yeh I'm only lonely with you

You won't say my name

Look me in the eyes say you'll always stay

Happy with the choice you made

Just can't change

You know something's wrong

Like the words of a sad love song

You've told yourself the whole day long

You're not in love

Am7 Em7 Dm7

Its your call shall I give up the war

C G Dm7

Or let our love back in the door

Am7 Em Dm7

Tell me I won't feel the pain

C G Am7

And love is back in your heart again

Finger tips

Em C D G D G

Can find their own way home

Bm Em

Brush against my lips

C G D G D G

Breathe warm air make my heart moan

Just a sip

Of juice from a jungle fruit

Can make my heart flip

Turn dry chamois to a snakeskin suit

Bm7 F#m7

You know there's only one way to be

G A

Gotta have you down there with me

Bm7 F#m7 G

I want to feel you 'gainst my wet skin

Bm7 G A

Feel your body try to come on in

Bm7 F#m7 G

I want to feel you touch my wet skin

Bm7 A G

I'm burning with your love again

Cotton rips

flesh bare beneath a stormy sky

Like a moonlit dip

And only the stars ever gonna know why...

Instr: Bm7 F#m7 Em F#m7 x2

Bm7 F#m7 Em F#'m7

Wet skin - 's gonna hold you tight

Bm7 F#m7 Em F#'m7

Wet skin - you know you'll give up the fight

Bm7 A G

I'm wet as the deep blue nile

Bm7 A G

My skin's gonna drive you wild..

Were you blown so far away

Bm7 A G A

By winds of chance into history

D G A

Or we get just too near

Bm7 C G

They took you away on a rainbows tear

D A G

Who decided they'd seen enough

D A Em

Had to make it turn to dust

D A Bm7 G

My lost love

D A Bm7 G

My lost lost love

D A G

Some things can never be

Bm7 A Em

You'll always be far from me

D A Bm7 G A7

My lost love

Did they wake you in the dark

Told you it could never ever work

Love can never be that straight

What you need today can turn to hate

Who said it had to die

Made our hopes fade with the sky

Bm7 F#m7 G

Your face will cloud in the mists of time

Bm7 A Em G

But I'll never forget you once were mine

Spent so many years

E A E A

Tied to the ground

E A E A

Couldn't face our fears

E A E A

See our way around

F#m G#m

Now we found a plane

A B

We can reach the stars

E F#m

We're gonna fly

A B

Spread our wings and rise. We're...

We can see our future

Can forget our past

Find our space together

We're racing fast. We're...

Em C

We're never gonna fall

G D

In the heat of the sun

E F#m

We're gonna waltz the moon

A D

Till our heaven's come

Intro: E D A D

E D

Take me to a darkened bar

A D

Try and see through my shades

E D

A penny black for my thoughts

A D

Or a smile for some jade

There's a grace in my style

hides the secrets in my soul

You'll not get to see me close

Never get to see me whole

Link: F#m-G#m A

Tell me all about your past

Give me reasons to be sad

Make me feel I know it all

Be a mirror to your pride

Noone's ever gonna know

'Bout the emptiness inside

The mystery without a crime

The loneliness that's mine

E B F#m G#m

Don't try to read me, don't waste your breath

C#m B F#m G#m

Stop hanging onto every word I've said

E B F#m G#m

I'm just an echo of a lost cry at sea

E F#m G#m A

Don't think you'll ever get to rescue me. From My Mystique... etc

It never dies

That spark firing in your head

When you thought that love was dead

And your heart still cries

Acting like a child

Hoping she'll hear your plea

Can she feel the same as me

Can it be that wild

It still hurts

When she turns and looks away

And you can't bear to hear her say

It won't work

Let me sleep another day

Believe I'm in her arms

Give me a reason to wake from

An old man's dreams

Intro: G D G Em, D C Em

G D

How was it for you

G Em

For me it rained all night

D C

It can scare you

Em

When you're alone

G Bm7

Did you come to see me

C D

With something new to say

Em G

There's talk of a heavy sea

D

And I'm drowning

I feel your eyes

waiting on my lips

Quick to catch

The word Love

I'm looking at at the sky

Will the heavens open now

Like maybe they can tell me why

I'm such a fool

Bm G

Just stay a while

A Bm

Share the space in an aching heart

G D

Better than a life apart

A

We can find a way

When I was a young child

F#/A B

Your soft earth kept me safe from harm

E F#m

Your rivers let me softly sleep

A B

To the sound of a wind's reed song

Water meadows

Whisper in the summer's night

Telling me it'll be alright

And I'm safe in your arms

When I was a young man

Burned with a love I couldn't find

The rushes could hear my cries

Your stone walls gave me strength inside

Water meadows

You washed away my tears

Led me through those anxious years

Brought peace again

And if I'm a poor man

I'll be rich as a millionaire

While I can breathe your precious air

In the Autumn dusk

Verse instrumental

And when I'm an old man

I'll walk those trodden paths

Memories of a splintered past

Can cry themselves to sleep

Water meadows

Take my soul away

Let me rise another day

In your soft embrace

Verse Instrumental

It would never work

Bm7 Em

We've both got too much to lose

A Em

Forget it ever happened

G Bm7

All those things I told you

D A Bm7 G

But I know there's still a chance

Em G D

Hidden deep in your heart

D A Bm7 G

Keep it sleeping in your soul

Em G A

One day you can let it grow

Meeting with friends

Afraid to catch your eye

A scent from your hair

And a dull pain inside

Bm7 - A - G

And when the spring breaks

Bm7 - A - Em

And flowers dance in fields

Bm7 - A - G

I'll take your hand again

Bm7 - A - Em

And we'll make our love real

F C G D F C

Feel my warmth against your skin

I need to touch you

Stop the demons stealing in

Don't worry

It'll be alright

I'll change the night to day

Put your fears out of sight. this love is...

Made in heaven

Bb G D F C

Fashioned from the sky

Bb F G

Made in Heaven

Bb G D F C

With an angel's eye

Bb F G

We're in its magic spell

Bb F G

It'll keep us safe from harm

Bb F G

Its made in heaven

Bb G D F C

This love can never die

So your past

Was filled with hell

I'll drive those thoughts away

Be silver in your wishing well

We've made mistakes

Lovers are human too

But our future's shining

Smiling on me and you

Dm G

You don't need to pray

Dm G

To get what you desire

F C G

I'm here waiting

Bb D

With a raging heart on fire

They'll never know

Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb

When they see me sigh

Cm Dm Gm7

When I wipe my eye

Bb Cm7

I'm thinking of you

Eb Bb

They won't see

Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb

My face can't feel the sun

Cm Dm Gm7 Bb

Seems like I can't go on

Cm7

Without you

Eb Bb Cm Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb

They'll never know how I'm crying inside

Eb Bb Cm Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb

Never know how my heart fell and died

Cm7 Dm7

Ev'ry time I smile

Cm7 Dm7

Its just a memory why

Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb

I love you

They'll never know

The pain that glows

Like a nail in my soul

All day long

They won't hear

Ev'ry time I laugh

I'm thinking about the past

With you

Dm7 Gm7

Going through the motions

Bb Cm7

No space for emotion

Dm7 Gm7

Waiting to end it all

Bb Cm7

Waiting for the sky to fall

Now you've gone

G Bb Dm7 C G Bb

With a flash of your hair, sorry written on a piece of air

Dm7 C G Bb

No time to say you cared

Dm7 C G Bb

You've flown to East nowhere

Dm7 Am7 Gm7

You needed to move on

F C G Bb

Couldn't stay with your feet on the

Dm7 C G Bb Dm7 C G Bb

Ground, on the ground

F Am7 Gm7 F Am7 Gm7

Now you're gone, You're gone

F Am7 Dm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7

Gone, Gone Gone

So you've run

With no goodbyes, left me paying the price

A life on broken ice

Playing with crooked dice

You couldn't wait a day

Couldn't stay while your heads in the

Clouds, in the clouds

F Am7 Gm7

You gotta find your own way

F Am7 Gm7

Leave your past behind

F Am7 Dm7 Am7 Gm7 Am7

But I'll still wait until you're found

So he loves you

C G D C D

Said he'd die for you

G D Am7

Yearns for you all day long

C G D C D

And thinks you can do no wrong

And you led him on

A pawn in a game you won

Left by the side of the board

No way to reach your door

Am7 D

You'll tease him for a while

G D Am7

Drag him on for another mile. But...

G Am7 Bm7 C

You don't need to be so cruel

G D Am7

Go playing with his heart

G Am7 Bm7 C

Wear his pain like a stolen jewel

G D Am7

You don't need to be so cruel

Why not take his hand

Tell him he aint got a chance

And he's wasting his time

On someone aint worth a dime

Don't keep him on a string

He aint done a single thing. And...

G Am7 Bm7 C

What goes around comes around

G D C D

And the words out you been round town

G Am7 Bm7 C

Noones gonna want to play

G D Am7

And one day you'll have to pay. And...

Too many problems, spinning in my mind

D F#m G A

The maths of emotions, no way to find

D F#m G A

The chance of success, or the risks we face

D F#m G A

The physics of sadness, or the odds of disgrace

Em D

Stop working it all out

Em D

Step back a while

Em Bm7 A

Shut your eyes and see what's deep inside

D A Em

Let our love decide

G D A G A

Our hearts will know

D A Em

Don't matter what's right

G D A G A

Where the road will go

Bm7 A

Only love can lead us

Em G

Light the path we tread

D A Em

Let our love decide

G D A G A

The way ahead

So many outcomes, things can go wrong

People can be wounded, feelings can be strong

The future is a dark street, maybe filled with pain

Only true love can take it, give us hope again

D A

And when we get there

Em G

Still safe in each other's arms

D Em

We'll know it was worth it

G A

And we'll be safe from harm

Miles from sleep

Fm7 Gm7 Cm7 Bb Fm7 Gm7

On a stormy sea of my emotions

Cm7 Bb

Looking for a distant shore

Fm7 Gm7 Cm7 Bb Fm7 Gm7

Somewhere there'll be no more sad memories

Remembering a game

Where I bet all I own, for a life

Staked my lonely soul

For a chance to be told you'd stay. And I

Fm7 Gm7

Wasted all my love on you

Fm7 Gm7

Cried a lifetime's tears for you

Fm7 Gm7

Wore my heart out wanting you

Cm7 Bb Fm7

Yeh I wasted all my love on you

You weren't that kind

Makes a promise for all time

You went with the rain

Won't cross the same ground again. And I...

Fm7 Gm7

I'm left looking at the past

Cm7 Bb Fm7

Tired of thinking that's the last time I'll try

Fm7 Gm7

Save my breath for a final sigh

Cm7 Bb Fm7 Gm7 Cm7 Bb Fm7 Gm7 Cm7 Bb Fm7 Gm7

And a year wondering why I could be so wrong. Be So Wrong And I...

Fill me up full of juice

D A

Put a tiger in my tank

Bm G

Let me out on the loose

D A

With money on my back

We'll fly down the road

Make rubber burn

I can take your load

And I'll shake and turn

G A

Come along for the ride

D A

There's space in my car

Em G

Get in by my side

G A

I'll show you the stars

D A Em G A A7

Come along for the ride

Step hard on the gas

Move fast into gear

Blow air on my face

Its gettin' hot in here

Turn the music up loud

Feel my engine roar

Your heart's gonna pound

You'll be cryin' out for more

Bm G

When you've gone all the way

Bm Em A

Come down from the sky

Bm G

You can step onto the street

D A Em

I'll pick you up the next night

You ask me what I'm doing

Am D

What's the spin on it all

C G D

What's this game I'm playing

C Em C G D

Who's making the call

It seems a bit crazy

You can't see no return

My mind's a bit hazy

And my heart's gonna burn

C G D

I aint in it for the money

C Em D C

I got it all to lose

D C G D

I aint trying to be funny

C Em C G

I'm only in it for love

D C G D

I aint doing it for pride

C Em D C

Like I got something to prove

D C G D

And my feelings I can't hide

C Em C G D

I'm only in it for love

All my friends gonna say

You had it going so fine

Why'd you throw it all away

Blow that silver mine

Am D

I could throw in the towel

Em C D

Say I've been a fool, play it by your rules

C D

Turn grey with distinction

Em C D

Be a pillar of the state

C D

But why bother with anything

Em C G

If you aint in it for love

The world's turning

G C

And I'm burning

Am D G C

I'm raging in your cool arms

Am D

You're like a bursting stream

G C

I'm living in your dreams

Am D G C

The storm before the calm

Dm G

Don't let it end

C G Dm

Make the moon lend one last encore..

C G

Make the morning wait

Dm G

Give us another hour

Am G F

I can't face the light of day

C G

I need more space

Dm G

In your soft embrace

Am G F

Just make the morning wait

It's dark before the dawn

There's mystery being born

And I need to feel your breath

The stars can keep on shining

Wolves can keep on howling

They're crying outside my door

Don't stop, let the curtain drop

Until the lady sings

The sun knows how it feels

When your heart's like a white hot fire

You gave me hope this time

C Am7 Em G

Like maybe you'd throw me a line

C Am7 Em G

Over a glass of wine

C Am7 Em G

I saw your eyes softly shine

C Am7 Em G

Thought it could one day be

C Am7 Em G

And you'd rescue me

Dm7 G Dm7 G

But when the moment passed

Am Em Am Em

You turned away like you did the last

F Am7 C G Dm7 G Dm7 G

And I think I'm getting nowhere with you

F Am7 C G Dm7 G Dm7 G

Yes I think I'm getting nowhere with you

Fmaj7 Em

When I feel I'm going somewhere

Bb Am

You take me back another square

F Am7 C G Dm7 G

And I think I'm getting nowhere with you

This exercise in suffering

Trying to find a single thing

Like a lion in a circus ring

Facing the fire while wondering

What did I do wrong

And why am I keeping on

Bb Fm7

And when I'm back where I started

Bb Fm7

Torn broken and winter hearted

Bb Fm7

I'm Asking how could I take so long

Gm7 G

To get nowhere

Intro: D Em G A x2 Em G

Bm7 A G

You don't answer my calls

A

Like there must be something more

Bm7

Exciting in your life

Sit on the other side of the floor

Like maybe I'd look better from

A distance

You laugh with your friends

Your eyes don't even send

A single glance

Noone's ever gonna know

What happened long ago

Between us. But...

D Em G A

You used to love me

D Em G A

You used to love me

Bm7 A G

However hard you try

Bm7 A G

That memory never dies

D Em G A Em G

You used to love me

You made the first move

Woke me from a lost youth

To a false dawn

Lit my emotions

Set fire to old coals and

Made me dance in the flames. And...

F#m Bm7

I know I'm flogging a dead heart

A Em

My broken life's falling apart

F#m Bm7

Trying to recapture the past

A G

And the future's fading fast

You’re a drama queen in a West end show

Am Em F G

Everybody’s got to go

C G Dm G

See you acting every night

Am Em F

Feigning tears in the limelight

C G

You’re a drama queen

F G Am

You're playing up to the crowd

Em F G

Waiting for the cheers to sound

C G

You’re a drama queen

F G Am

You love to hear them sigh

F G

And hope to catch your eye

You’re a drama queen on the radio

Everybody’s gotta know

All about your tragic past

And what makes your beauty last

Gm7 C F Dm7

And when the lights have fallen low

Gm7 C Dm7

And you’re the last one to go

Gm7 C

With no lines left to call

Gm7 C

On an empty floor by an open door

Am F

You’ll sink to your knees

Am Dm7 G

Cry will someone please be my friend tonight...

If I’m left out in the cold

Dm7 Em7

And I’ve only got the earth to hold

Am7 Em7

With only memories to eat

Dm7

and disappointment on my feet

And you’re living far away

Where there’s sunshine every day

And your skin is a hazel brown

Staying in the best part of town

Am7 Em7 Dm7

I gotta tell you...

C Am7 C Am7

The only part of me that lives

C Am7 C Am7

The only thing I’ve left to give

Dm7 G Dm7 G

When noone wants to know

C Am7 C Am7

Is a heart that beats for you

C Am7 C Am7

When noone wants to know

C Am7 C Am7

And I’ve nowhere else to go

Dm7 G Dm7 G

This heart still beats for you

C Am7 C Am7

Yeh this heart still beats for you

My blood can stain the street

And my mind cry in a white heat

The demons can steal my soul

And lay my broken body low

Dm7 G

Maybe one night you’ll dream

Dm7 G

And you’ll be back again

C Am7 C Am7

And you’ll cry against my skin

Dm7 G

And feel this beating love within

Verse Instrumental

The clock strikes

A9 A9maj7 A9 A9maj7 A9 A9maj7

Another night with a grey moon

Cmaj7 Em

And the wind groaning

G Dm7

The clouds are hoping

A9 A9maj7 A9 A9maj7

They'll get blown away soon

There's no life

Left in this empty place

Light bulbs have blown

Hope has long since flown

Leaving a lonely space

F Am7

Its a ghost town

C Em Am7

Memories haunt the streets

Bb Am7

Spectres of your heartbeat

F Am7 C

Your love moved far away

Em Am7 Bb Am7

And I'm in a ghost town

Street bands used to play

Laughter rang all over town

The grass was green in the summer glow

I never thought I'd need to know

About tomorrow

A9 A9maj7 A9 A9maj7

Is this how its gonna stay

A9 A9maj7 A9 A9maj7

My heart slowly dying away

C Dm7 F Am7

My mind slipping into soft decay

Bb Am7

My soul trapped on a blind highway

The witching hour

G C D C G

When the ghosts rise from my past

D C G C

Come back to haunt, long shadows cast

D C G

Black fingers cross my path

Memories change from gold to red

The lights lose their warm glow

Everything you don't want to know

Is knocking at your door

D C

Its Halloween

G C

And you can't escape

D C G

You know you have to face

D C G

What's out there in the dark

C D

Spirits you taught to walk

C G

Its Halloween

Am G

This aint no trick or treat

D C G

You won't buy them off with a bag of sweets

Am G

They've come for something

D C

Much sweeter

D C G

Like revenge

Put a cross on your chest like you

Suddenly found what's best for your soul

But they've got stronger power, control of the church tower

And the bells are ringing clear

This heart never sleeps

Gmaj7 Cmaj7

It beats and tries to keep

Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7

This body on the road

Am7 Bm7

This head can't stop dreaming

Cmaj7 D9

Like the rain that's streaming

Em

All day long

Am7 Bm7

It won't come to rest

Cmaj7 D9

I guess you could say

Em A Em A

I'm wandering

Em A Em A

Yes wandering

Am7 Bm7

Trying to find the right road

Cmaj7 D9

Carrying a heavy load

Em A Em A

And wandering

Em A Em A

Just wandering

Followed many blind leads

Took passengers on for free

Then let them fall

Thought freedom was a state of mind

Somewhere you could find

By travelling the world

It won't ever stop

I guess you could say

I'm wandering

Yes wandering

Looking into strangers' eyes

hoping for that welcome smile

And wandering

Just wandering

Finally learned to look inside

Kill the demons in my mind

Call myself a friend

Get the will to carry on

And know I can do know wrong

If I just keep rolling on

Like the river to the sea

I guess you could say

I'm wandering

Yes wandering

And I don't need to cry

Don't want to arrive

Just stay wandering

Yeh wandering

Stay wandering

Just wandering

You used to worship me

G D A Bm7 G

made sacrifices for my love

D A Am

listened to every word I said

G D A G

Like I could tell you all that stuff you wanted in your head

Bm7 G

Till you found a better creed

D A G

Your faith moved on down the street. And I'm your...

Dm Am G

Fallen idol

F#m Bm7 F#m Bm7

Left to slowly fade away

Dm Am G

Fallen Idol

D A G A

The relic of yesterday

There's weeds growing round my bed

My heart's cracked lying on the floor

The incense long since blew away

And noone's knocking at my door

Dm G

Like a saint fallen from grace

C G Dm

A martyr to your lost desire

Dm G

A statue without a face

D A G

A church without a choir

Fallen idol

Noones ever gonna pray

To a fallen idol

A relic of yesterday

Like a sheep to the slaughter

C G F G

I fell into your arms

C G F G

I can still hear your laughter

C G F G

Ringing all over town

C G

I went in like a lamb

Am G C G Am G

But came out like a lion

C G

Yeh I went in like a lamb

Am G C G Am G

But came out like a lion

You made me think you were faster

And I wouldn't keep up long

I thought you would play the master

And I'd never be that strong

F G

When I broke through your facade

Am Em F G Am Em

Caught your mystique sleeping off guard

F G Am Em

Found a paper heart on fire

F G Am Em

A mannequin strung up on a tightrope wire

F G

It was you that was crying

F G

And you who'd be dying

Am Em F G

Without my love

I need you, like the air that I breathe

E F#m Am Em Am Em Am Em

I want you, so bad I can't see what's going on

A G Bm7 A

Taking chances, the scarlet glances

Em F#m

The whispers in the corridor

Bm7 A

And my soul crying out for more

G D

And when I'm lying here

Em F#m

In a place I shouldn't be

G D

Thinking you're the best

C G A

And the worse thing that's happened to me

When you lit that spark, like flint on a dry desert heart

I felt love like I'd never known before, like you'd opened a hidden door

Led me crying, to your secret space

And I'd never find a better place

To call home

E F#m

But happiness don't come for free

A B

With the joy there's the agony

Em F#m

Guilt like a screaming choir

Bm7 A

And desire like a raging fire

I don't wanna meet your folks

G C

Hold hands along the street

G C

Or take you to a crowded bar

G C

Make smalltalk to your clique

Am7 Bm7

I just wanna meet

Em7 Am7

Underneath a neon light

Am7 Bm7

Somwhere its safe

Em7 Am7

Where we can spend all night

Chorus:

C G Am7 G

In blue motels

Am7 G

Where no-one cares

Am7 G

'Bout our private affairs

C G Am7 G

In Blue Motels

Am7 G

Where the lights stay low

Am7 G

And no-one ever knows

Am7

What's goin on

We'll be mister and Mrs X

Visiting from another state

En route to infidelity

Only staying for a day

Don't wanna make it grand

Quiet's more our way

Somewhere its discreet

Where we can hide away

Chorus

Instrumental: G C x4

G C G C

Another week another town

G C G C

Another chance to slowly drown

Am7 Bm7

Touch each other's body

Em7 Am7

And hope we never meet nobody. In our...

Chorus etc

Does he wake at 2 am

F#m Bm7 A E

Broken from a tortured dream

F#m Bm7 A G

Find himself calling your name

F#m

To an empty room

Feeling hurt deep inside

Wond'ring where you were last night

Wanting his lonely heart to die

And your smile in the sunrise

Chorus A:

Bm7 E Bm7 E

And for all his tender charms

Bm7 E Bm7 E

And the words that caress you

F#m Bm7 A C#m

He don't love you like I do

F#m Bm7 A G

No he don't love you like I do

Is he walking out alone

Trying to pretend to act tall

Does he wait by the telephone

In case you call

Does he try to see your face

When he's standing in a crowd

Is he drinking till its late

Keeping on he don't know how

And for all his soft kisses

And looks that can melt you

He don't love you like I do

No he don't love you like I do

Bm E

And he'll never know

F#m Bm

The pain of being true

Bm E

He'll never grow old

F#m

Without you

You'd better learn to swim

Head for the high ground

Things aint looking good

You can almost hear the sound

It's stirring out at sea

An earthquake in my heart

I'm heading for your shore

Gonna break your life apart

I'm a tidal wave

Gonna drown you with desire

I'm a tidal wave

There aint nowhere higher

White horses of my love

Can reach to the sky

I'm a tidal wave

Gonna take your soul away

You'll feel the raging flood

Its fifty fathoms deep

You'll be crying out for breath

There'll be no chance to sleep

You can call for help

The lifeguards washed away

You're down here with me

You can only hear me say...

And when the water drops

Like the tears from your eyes

It'll never be the same

And then you'll know why...

I'll call you in the afternoon

Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7

Pick you up along the way

Am7 Dm7 G Em

We'll take the road to the coast

Am7 G Fmaj7

Catch the last boat of the day

Stand on a winter deck

Gaze at darkness out at sea

Maybe share a cigarette

Feel the sway of our heartbeats

Am7 Em7

We'll take the ferry to the island

Dm7 G

Where the wind don't know our names

Am7 G

And our secret's safe with the waves

Fmaj7

And we can sail away

When we reach the other side

We'll huddle to our hideaway

set a match to a driftwood fire

Listen to songs from our past

There'll be just you and I

And the storm in a black sky

Like the ships passing in the night

Noone will hear our sighs

We'll run away to the island

Where the sand leaves no trace

And the beach don't know our face

And we can sail away

Am7 Em7

We'll drift into a long sleep

Am7 Em7

Know we don't need nothing more

Dm7 G

Than the warmth of a love so deep

Fmaj7

And the surf on the shore

I'm sorry

I didn't call for five long years

Couldn't face those silent tears

To set things right

I don't recall

Why it was we had to fight

What kept us in the dark night

For so long

I'm sorry

It's too late to take your hand

You've gone to that other land

I'm sorry

I never got to say goodbye

Overcome my selfish pride

To say I'm sorry

I was sorry

When they said you'd died

Without your family by your side

To share your pain

If I could

I'd reach across that mortal plain

Take you in my arms again

And you'd whisper my name

Chorus

Can you hear me

I'm asking you to hear my plea

Will you forgive me now

I need you to set me free

Chorus etc

I know there's no return

F#m D

To how it used to be

A E

You couldn't keep it on

F#m D

I had to set you free

I'll never find another

Lover just like you

I guess I'll have to stay

Sad but true

A Bm7

Nothing's gonna change

F#m E

The way I feel about you

F#m Bm7

I guess I'm gonna stay

A E Bm7

Sad but true

Noone ever knew

About our broken dreams

You woke me from their spell

To a cold dawn. But...

A Bm7

Nothing's gonna change

F#m E

How I think about you

F#m-Bm7-A-E

You can call it what you like

F#m

Or just sad but true

A E

You want to play

G D

OK lets play

Gotta play by my rules

Gonna do it my way

You want some fun

Its just begun

You're gonna have to play

Its gotta be my way

E D

This is hardball

A C A E G D

I need something more

E D

And its my call

A C A E G D

This is hardball

This game is for two

I need something new

You can hit & run

But I'll catch up with you

This is my draw

And I'm keeping the score

Do what you'll do

And I'll be watching you

Do what you'll do

And I'll be watching you

A E G D

This is hardball

This game aint tame

Its hardball

You'll never be the same

This is hardball

This game aint tame

Its hardball

You'll never be the same

This heart is like a boy

C G Am7

What he wants he's gotta own

G Am7 Em7 Bm7

Now you're the only toy

C G Am7

He's gotta take you home

He won't settle for less

Wants you all for himself

Don't care for the rest

Won't share you with noone else

D C

This selfish heart

Em

It's all I've known

D C

This selfish heart

Em

Won't be alone

D C

And only love

Em

Will see things through

Bm7 Am7

This selfish heart

Em

'S gotta have you

This heart beats with rage

When things don't go his way

This heart won't act his age

Lives just for today

C D Em

And the child inside

D C Em

Don't know how to laugh

C D Em

All the tears he's cried

Bm7 Am7 Em

Will never be quite enough

I crossed off another day

Em F

In the countdown to my life

G F

You've got to find a way

Am7

To keep this thing alive

You've got to come around

Stop playing with my heart

Put your feet on the ground

Or make a new start

Em F

Your're out of time

Em Am7

You're out of line

G F

You're out of mind

Am7

You're out of time

You said it was all through

You'd thrown away your past

But the only thing that's new

Is the tale you told me last

Now I can't hear no more

Of your yellow alibis

I'm gonna shut the door

On your excuses and your lies

G F

The curtains coming down

Am7 Bb

On this play that's overrun

Em Am7

You've missed the final call

G F

And now this scene is done
