Verse
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination /
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man /
For whatever that means
Pre-chorus
And so I cry sometimes When I'm lying in bed just to get it all out /
What's in my head And I, I am feeling a little peculiar /
And so I wake in the morning And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high /
And I scream from the top of my lungs "What's going on?"
Chorus
And I say, "Hey-ey-ey-ey" “Hey-ey-ey I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
Verse
And I try,
oh my God do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray,
oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day For a revolution
Pre-chorus
Chorus
And I say, "Hey-ey-ey-ey" “Hey-ey-ey I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
Pre-chorus
Go on and close the curtains
'Cause all we need is candlelight
You and me, and a bottle of wine
To hold you tonight (oh)
Well we know I'm going away
And how I wish - I wish it weren't so
So take this wine and drink with me
And let's delay our misery
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
There's a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away (ohh it's true)
It ain't easy to say good-bye
Darlin' please, don't start to cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go (oh)
And Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I, that I could stay
But girl you know I've got to go (oh)
And Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight
Save tonight
Save tonight
Save tonight
Oh that's right
Save tonight
Save tonight
[fade out]
Chorus:
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars Yeah, we'll be counting stars
Verse 1:
I see this life, like a swinging vine Swing my heart across the line
And in my face is flashing signs Seek it out and ye shall find
Pre Chorus:
Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold On just doing what we're told
I feel something so right Doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
(2nd: Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly)
Chorus:
Verse 2:
I feel your love and I feel it burn Down this river, every turn
Hope is our four-letter word Make that money, watch it burn
Pre Chorus:
Chorus:
Bridge:
Take that money, watch it burn Sink in the river the lessons I've learned 4X
Everything that kills me Makes me feel alive
Chorus:
Chorus: G D Em Bm C G C D Original Key: Bb F Gm Dm Eb Bb Eb F
Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
Verse 1:
There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same
Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name
'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah
Pre Chorus:
Everybody hurts sometimesEverybody hurts someday, ayy ayy
But everything gon' be alrightGo and raise a glass and say, ayy
Chorus:
Verse 2:
There's a time that I remember when I never felt so lost
When I felt all of the hatred was too powerful to stop (ooh, yeah)
Now my heart feel like an ember and it's lighting up the dark
I'll carry these torches for ya that you know I'll never drop, yeah
Verse 1:
Oh, once upon a midnight eerie I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory Of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies,
yeah humor me and tell me lies
And I'll lie too and say I don't mind And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Well, what will be with you and me I still can see things hopefully
Chorus:
But you Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up?
When all it does is slow me down
Verse 2:
Shake me and my confidence About a great many things
But I've been there I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singing "Hey babe, let's keep in touch",
hey baby, let's keep in touch
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Tra la la la la bombardier, this is the pilot speaking
I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink it and always be full, yeah I will drink it and always be full
Oh I like coffee and I like tea I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay, so be that way
I hope and pray that there's something left to say

Keep on whispering in my ear /
Tell me all the things that I wanna hear
'Cause it's true (that's what I like) /
That's what I like about you (that's what I like)

Intro: G C G Hm Em Am D
I need love, love to ease my mind and I need to find time,
someone to call mine. My Mama said:
Refrain: G G C G Bm Em Am D
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
You can't hurry love. No you'll just have to wait.
Just trust on a good time, no matter how long it takes.
Strophe: Bm Em Am D
How many heartaches must I stand,
before I find the love to let me live again.
Right now the only thing, that keeps me hangin' on,
when I feel my strenghth, oh it's almost gone, I remember Mama said:
Refrain: G G C G Bm Em Am D
You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait.
She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take.
How long must I wait? How much more must I take,
before loneliness will 'cause my heart, heart to break?
Strophe: Bm Em Am D
No I can't bear to live my life alone.
I grow impatient for a love to call my own.
But when I feel that I, I can't go on.
Well these Precious words keep me hangin' on, I remember Mama said:
Refrain:
Strophe: G G C G Bm Em Am D
Now love, love don't come easy, but I keep on waiting, anticipating for that
soft voice to talk to me at night, for some tender arms to hold me tight.
I keep waiting, oh 'til that say, but it ain't easy, no, you know it ain't easy.
My Mama said:

Verse 1: Em G D A7
Today is gonna be the day / That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow / Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do / About you now
Verse 2:
Back beat, the word was on the street / That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before / But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do / About you now
Pre Chorus:

Chorus:
Verse 1: Em A9 C9/G D9/F#
I know what you're doing, I see it all to clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears.
You really had me going, wishing on a star.
The black holes that surround you are heavier by far,
I believed in your confusion, you're so completely torn.
It must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born /
There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide.
You really can't be serious, to have to ask me why
FM9/C
I say goodbye...
Chorus: C G C G
'Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air,
I don't know who I'm kidding imagining you care;
And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day;
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
FM9/C
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah.
Verse 2: Em A9 C9/G D9/F#
Everyone keeps asking, what's it all about?
I used to be so certain, now I can't figure out.
What is this attraction, it's only filled by pain?
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame,
FM9/C
Will it ever change?
Chorus: C9 G9 Am FM9/C----
But, I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Bridge: D Am C9 Gm13
I've come to find, I may never know Your changing mind, is it friend or foe?
I rise above or sink below With every time you come and go
FM9/C (pause)
Please, don't come and go...
Chorus:
Outro: C9 G9 Am FM9/C----
But, I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...

And I wonder still I wonder

I went down Virginia seeking shelter from the storm

Wrapped in golden chains

And I wonder, still I wonder
Em G
Who'll stop the rain
Break-

Fallin on my ears

And I wonder, still I wonder
Em
Who'll stop the rain...
