At the local diner just outside of town
He comes in a hour early just to beat the morning crowd
He stares out his window and stirs his coffee cup
Another day another dollar short of catchin up

Same old job, same old dull routine
In his heart he knows what it brings

A two bedroom house for his family of three
Hes giving his all makin ends meet
A second hand car a washing machine
They may not have much, but he gets what they need
With the hands of a working man

(Repeat Chords as above)

Down at the factory standing in line
He waits to punch the time clock, a million worries on his mind
Oh, Jimmys needing braces and Bettys needing time
And the problems that hes facing theyre all building up inside

Same old job, same old dull routine
But in his heart he knows what it brings

A two bedroom house for his family of three
Hes giving his all makin ends meet
A second hand car a washing machine
They may not have much, but he gets what they need
With the hands of a working man

Same old job, same old dull routine
But in his heart he knows what it brings

(Change key to 1/2 step higher)

A two bedroom house for his family of three
Hes giving his all makin ends meet
A second hand car a washing machine
They may not have much, but he gets what they need
With the hands of a working man

VERSE 1:
Steam….from a summer raindrop
Risin’ off the blacktop
I wipe the sweat from my brow
Steam…from my radiator
I’m late and gettin’ later
I should be at your place by now
Bank sign says 102
But that ain’t nothin’ when I’m next to you
CHORUS:
There’s fire in your fingertips
Flames in your touch
Desire in your burnin’ lips
I can’t get enough
Today was a scorcher but I know you want better
Tonight when we get together
We’re gonna make steam
REPEAT INTRO
VERSE 2:
I dream of you there on the front steps
Sunnin’ in that short dress
Hotter than a Texas heat
Seems I’m never gonna get there
Traffic’s goin’ nowhere
But when I feel you next to me
Girl there are things that you know I do
That make my heat index go through the roof
REPEAT CHORUS
SOLO TO VERSE CHORDS then:
Girl there are things that you know I do
That make my heat index go through the roof
CHORUS
OUTRO: (same as intro , just a few bars longer)

CAPO 2

She gets the kids up and off to school
Works never done till the day is through
Same old routine over and over again
There’s a lot of this world that she’s never seen

She married young, The boy of her dreams
And to this day, That’s something she wouldn’t change
But she longs for the way he used to whisper her name

CHORUS:
She wants to be wanted, she knows that she’s needed
She wants moonlight and romance, soft music and a slow dance
She wants him to hold her like he’s never touched her
That’s how love began, she wants to be wanted again

VERSE 2:
It’s friday night and he’s on his way home
She’s made plans for them to be alone
Took the kids to her mama’s, they’re gonna spend the night
And she’s hoping he’ll notice how her new dress fits her just right

CHORUS:

She wants to be wanted, she knows that she’s needed
She wants moonlight and romance, soft music and a slow dance
She wants him to hold her like he’s never touched her
That’s how love began, she wants to be wanted again
That’s how love began, she wants to be wanted again

Intro chords F Am Dm C F Am Bb Dm C

You say “love me a little” You say,”You wanna stay friends.”
You say “You don’t want no strings attached.”
No one on you to depend
You see love as a prison I see love as a key
You think a little is more then enough
It’s not that way for me

CHORUS:
[(C)]I need to be loved too much I need to be held too tight
I need to hear someone say at the end of day
I’ll make everything right.
When the rest of world goes home I need to feel someone’s touch
I’ve been alone too long
Now I need to be loved too much

Too much sun could burn you Too much rain you’d drown
Too much cold will freeze you Too much wind would blow you down
But love is something different It disregards the rules
You call me a dreamer sometimes dreams come true

chorus, lead, key change to G, chorus
chords leading to key change F Am Dm C F Am Bb Dm G
I need to be loved too much I need to be held too tight
I need to hear someone say at the end of day
I’ll make everything right.
When the rest of world goes home I need to feel someone’s touch
I’ve been a-lone too long
Now I need to be loved too much
Now I need to be loved too much
Now I need to be loved too much

INTRO C C9 F C

I thought I knew, the girl so well
if she was sad, I couldn’t tell
I missed the point, I missed the sings
so if she’s gone, the fault is mine
I know, I know, a whole lot of little things
and even though, I could face them one by one
she would still be gone

Chorus
Her eyes are blue
her hair is long[C/E]
sixty four
she was bo[C/G]rn
in Batton rouge
the very song[C/E]
is in my life
I meorized her[C/G] ev’ry move
I knew her books[C/G], her car, her clothes
[C/E] [C/G]
but I paid, no attention to what mattered most

Verse 2
I never asked, she never said
And when she cried I turned my head
She dreamed her dreams behind closed doors
That made them easy to ignore
And I know, I know, I missed the forest for the trees
Now all I have to show
Or would she walk out the door?
The cold facts and nothin’ more

Chorus

Chorus 2
Her eyes are blue, her hair is long, sixy four
she was born, in Batton Rouge,
Her father’s tall, her mother’s gone,
She moved out when she was two,
The way she laughed, the way she loved,
Oh my God what did I do?

NO MERCY Ty Herndon

Don’t think ‘I’m sorry’ is what we need to say
Don’t think ‘forgiveness’ is why we’re here today
Guilty. We’re both guil-ty. Let’s walk through that door.
A second chance is what I’m talking about
Let’s take the hurt and turn it inside out
Lay it on me baby till I can’t take any-more

CHORUS:
No mercy. Show me no mercy.
Love me all night long and don’t hurry (1.) And don’t hurry) (2.)hurry)
Take it slow and easy. No mercy to-night (No mercy. Show me no mercy)
Hold me baby. You know I’ve been hurtin’
Love this love back to life cause it’s worth it
Love me strong baby. Show me no mercy to-night.

Remember when we thought that being a part
would be the best thing for both of our hearts
It’s a prison out there when you’re living alone for sure
Now I know how much I really missed you
No more games just want to be with you
Just give me all your love till you can’t give any-more

Bridge:
In the silence of the early hours
I look at you and I feel the power
Don’t need promises to make it right
Let’s just follow what we’re feeling in-side

Go to lead, to ending
ENDING:
(No mercy. Show me no mercy to night)
Hold me baby. You know I’ve been hurtin’
Love this love back to life cause it’s worth it
Love me stong baby. Show me no mercy to-night.
(No mercy. Show me no mercy)
No mercy. Show me no mercy to night
(No mercy. Show me no mercy)
Love me strong baby. Show me no mercy to-night.

(No mercy. Show me no mercy)
