Hold on my love don’t let me go
Our hearts are one hold on my love
I can’t hear the voice
That’s calling you away
To a distant shore
Where I’ll join you someday
Hold on my love don’t let me go
Our hearts are one hold on my love

SOLO

You can’t leave me now
In this world all alone
The sail under the wind is my only friend
Tearing thru our world (‘)
Hold on my love don’t let go
Our hearts are one hold on my love
Hold on my love hold on my love

Seems like I’ve been here before
Just outside some closing door
Standing here just searching for a line

You’d think by now I’d have it down
I know I should be wiser now
Cause no one’s gonna bail me out this time cause
I’m not gettin any better at goodbyes

I’m not any better now than when I first began
It hurts every bit as much as it did way back then
I suppose I cry a lot
The only thing for sure is I’m not gettin’ any better at goodbyes

Friends will come and friends will go
But lovers memories die so slow
And they won’t always let you know it’s time
But even this shall pass I guess and
You’ll be just like all the rest
I’ll start dusting off all my best lines cause
I’m not gettin’ any better at goodbyes

You wrecked up my heart
With your careless love
Took me all apart
Now the damage is done
My minds is all in pieces
It’s way beyond repair
You wrecked up my heart and you don’t care
You use to be so sweet to me
I follow you right out on the ledge
And when I took that lovers leap
Well baby you pushed me right over the edge
You wrecked up my heart
With your careless love
Took me all apart
Now the damage is done
My minds is all in pieces
It’s way beyond repair
You wrecked up my heart and you don’t care

SOLO

I guess I should have looked both ways
When I pulled out on the highway of your love
Cause you were moving way too fast
And now I just one more hit and run
You wrecked up my heart
With your careless love
Took me all apart
Now the damage is done
My minds is all in pieces
It’s way beyond repair
You wrecked up my heart and you don’t care

I’m gonna be strong I’ll let you go your way
I’m gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can
I’m gonna be strong and let you go along and take it like a man
When you say it?s the end
I?ll hand you a line
I?ll smile and say
Don?t you worry I?m fine
And you?ll never know darling after you kiss me goodbye
How I?ll break down and cry cry cry

Oh cruel moon you shine so bright
And act like everythings all right
You shine as if there’s nothing wrong
You shine on down like she’s not gone
Oh cruel moon don’t make me see
Where our sweet love scene use to be
For it was you who watched our kiss
Please don’t lite up the night like this
Oh cruel moon don’t shine on me
You’ll bring me to her memory
Why you can’t you leave me in the dark
You never had a broken heart

SOLO

Oh cruel moon you say her name
And act as if your not to blame
You know it hurts me to recall
Or don’t you even care at all
Oh cruel moon don’t shine on me
You’ll bring me to her memory
Why you can’t you leave me in the dark
You never had a broken heart
Oh cruel moon so high above
You must have never lost your love
If only you would be my friend
And hide your face from me again

The crowd had gathered
They heard the word that pretty soon I’d be losing her
They stood in line just to see
The work that she would make of me
They held their breath whispered low
Waiting for that final blow
They called her name she was picked to win
As we walked out into the ring
In the first round she broke my heart
In the second round she tore it apart
In the third round I was on the ropes
In the forth round I didn’t have a hope
The thing she said in the final bout
Laid me low really knocked me out
She waved to the crowd without a scratch
The heartache champion of this love match
Mmm love match mmmm love match
They called for blood and wanted more
They picked me up off of the floor
My head was spinning

I staggered round
I couldn’t stand for falling down
The lights were dimmed I heard them say
You can’t make it anyway
I was game I climbed back in
I tried to win her back again
In the first round she hurt me bad
In the second round I couldn’t handle that
In the third round I almost died
In the forth round I saw that look in her eyes
I knew right then how it would be
She turned and walked away from me

I shouted fair and square there ain’t no catch
She’s the heartache champion of the love match
Mmm love match mmmm love match

SOLO

Intro: E A Asus2 E (twice)

A man can walk a million miles
And just be standin still
He can close his heart and believe
That he is strong

You were left with a broken wing
The one love left behind
In the arms of the night
With nowhere to go

CHORUS:
Standin’ out, out in the rain
Lookin for your way home
You walked on, on through the storm
Through fire and water you have come

solo

Like a storm carries a seed
Away upon the wind
When it falls to the ground
It brings life back again

CHORUS

Now everything you longed to see
You hold in your hands
And on the wings of the wind
You ride, you ride high

Three dollar bombs a 100 thousand more
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
You can’t clear one before another reloads
To ratchet up the ante again.
They’re cheap and they’re simple
They’re green and black
They’ll take you right down on a one way track
We’ve gone so far now that we can’t get back
And we still won’t stop this train
Footfall of a soldier
Footfall of a child
They don’t know the difference
They’re blind and mean and wild
100 Million and the wheel go round
Lunch in Geneova and the deals go done
We’ll still have to fight a century from now
The battle’s of a long long war
What do you with what’s left behind
What can you grow in the fields of mine
What do you do when that’s all you find you got
When you get back home
They’re only made for terror
They don’t care who they harm,
Three dollars each to make em
1000 to disarm
Three dollar bombs a 100 thousand more
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
You can’t clear one before another reloads
To ratchet up the ante again.
They’re cheap and they’re simple
They’re green and black
They’ll take you right down on a one way track
We’ve gone so far now that we can’t get back
And we still won’t turn around
SOLO

100 million still in the ground
Lunch in Geneova and the deals go down
They’ll still have to fight a century from now
Battle of a long time war
From China to Angolia
Cambodia where they laid
With chips from Motorola
Made in the USA.
Three dollar bombs a 100 thousand more
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
You can’t clear one before another reloads
To ratchet up the ante again.
They’re cheap and they’re simple
They’re green and black
They’ll take you right down on a one way track
We’ve gone so far now that we can’t get back
And we still won’t stop this train

There’s a wordless moon that’s watching tonight
There’s a garden that’s left to grow wild
There’s a sound with no name when a far away train
Cries like a unloved child
The paint on the wall is peeling away
There’s a photograph that fades on the shelf
But the memory stays of a love that is gone
And I’m dancing by myself
Why why I wanna know
She went and left me nowhere to go
Why why tell me my friend
It’s midnight and lonesome again

SOLO

The moon’s still alone and I wonder sometimes
If that why the train has to cry
So I ask right out loud

But there’s no answer now
Cause I’m just talking to the sky
Now the morning is time to get ready
In the evening you take off your shoes
Well you work all the day till the sun’s gone away
But midnight lays claim to the blues
Why why I wanna know
She went and left me nowhere to go
Why why tell me my friend
It’s midnight and lonesome again

I’m pretending that you still love me
I’m pretending what never will be
You don’t want me but I can’ tell
Cause I’m pretending like I do so well
I should forget you
I should be tough
I shouldn’t want you find myself a new love
But I can’t face it yet
I’m not strong enough so
I’m pretending that you still love me
I’m pretending what never will be
You dont want me but I can’ tell
Cause I’m pretending like I do so well
Our Friends feel sorry
Cause I’m alone all the time
There’s no need to worrry
Your right here in my mind
Cause when I’m pretending
I feel just fine
I’m pretending that you still love me
I’m pretending what never will be
You dont want me but I can’ tell
Cause I’m pretending like I do so well
