I’m not as good as I advertise
But then again, who really is
Judgment is thrown around so easily
But nobody wants to catch it
They just side step it
I think I’ve finally had enough

Chorus
Walkin’ along the fence line
Hands in my pockets, got a million things on my mind
I’m not sure what I’m trying to find
Just keep walking, knowing it’ll come with time
Walking along the fence line

Faith and time go hand and hand
I found along the way my faith runs deep
Time is no longer one of my concerns
You think I’ve gone astray
Going the wrong way
Why’s it so wrong to simply be

Repeat chorus

Solo: G D C x3

Bridge:
You think I’ve gone astray
Going the wrong way
Why’s it so wrong to simply be

Repeat chorus

G D C x2

Its funny how some people dream
They put on a show just to be on the scene
I dont know how many times
Ive been right here and you still dont see me
It may be wrong but tonight
Im gonna see those city lights
Cause it sure as hell beats lying here
wishing I was on your mind

Chorus:
Well tonight Im walking and you start talking
‘Bout what you said wed never be
Oh and Ive been worried
Its the same old story
I never know if youre gonna leave
I say its the last time
Just like I always do
So Ill give you another chance
And Ill lay it all on you

Well I caught myself out drifting cause
sometimes I like just to be alone
Like a lonely gypsy with nothing to lose
and no one to call my own
I know that theres people watching
just waiting for my next move
Oh but they cant see that Im too busy
waiting on me and you

Chorus
Lay it all on you

Chorus

Oh Ill give you one more chance,
and Ill lay it all on you
Lay it all on you

(Thanks to Tyler Watters for tabs)

Capo 2

Theres a lot of things I could do tonight
Call up some old friends just to see if theyre alright
I could read a book, Maybe something by Louis LAmour
Oh but I dont feel like doing that at all
I could play guitar, maybe write a song
Something really inspirational that everybody could sing along
I could build a fire and watch it burn all night long
Oh but I dont feel like doing that at all
Cause I feel like loving you
I feel like holding you close
I feel like looking in your eyes
Baby youre the one I want most
Why cant I have you anymore
Why did you [G/F]have to leave
Why cant I pick up and just move on
I could smoke a cigarette, maybe drink a beer
Turn on the radio, see if theyre playing something I want to hear
Try to find me a woman
But everything just seems so hard
Cause I dont feel like doing anything at all
Chorus
Theres a lot of things I could do tonight
But I’m so heartbroken doing nothing just feels so right
I know it may sound crazy to just sit and listen to the rain fall
Oh but I dont feel like doing anything at all
Oh I dont feel like doing anything at all
Oh I dont feel like doing anything at all
Anything at all

Its not easy anymore, everything seemed to change
In one blink of an eye, Im the man to lay the blame
I let you slip away, tried so hard to make this right
I have nothing left to do, nowhere else to turn
And I know its dark babe
Please turn on the lights
Let me see you crying
Youre not here alone
Im in here with you trying
I wanna see the truth
And find the broken pieces
We can make it right but you have, you have to
turn on the lights

We can step into the sun, kiss the night good bye
Those things that hold you down cut ‘em loose and fly
So keep reaching for my hand, Ill be hard for you to see
The shadows fill the room, baby I wont let you go

And I know its dark babe
Please turn on the lights
Let me see you crying
Youre not here alone
Im in here with you trying
I wanna see the truth and find the broken pieces
We can make it right but you have to, you have to turn on the lights

repeat intro:

Please dont be afraid, girl its only me
Yea, I am here to help you

Turn on the lights
Let me see you crying
Youre not here alone
Im in here with you trying
I wanna see the truth and find the broken pieces
We can make it right but you have to, you have to turn on the lights

Why can?t you love me
Why can?t you just be my girl
Why?s it all got to be so complicated
If you really love someone
I know you don?t really love me
And baby I guess that?s alright
At least I had my moment with you
And I?ll have that the rest of my life
Sometimes your dreams just don?t work out
You know I?ve had my share before
Guess it?s just another time that I?ll have to walk through
Another unopened door

Why?s it so hard
Hiding all of my pain
I?ll try not to be sad girl
I?ll just hide my tears behind the rain coming down
If that?s the only way to make you happy
Then I?ll do it against my will
Yeah we could have been something really special
Now that?s just a prophecy left unfulfilled
I hope my heart can handle all of this
It?s crazy the things I’m feeling inside
Maybe someday I?ll get over you
But for now I don?t even want to try

Guitar

Sometimes your dreams just don?t work out
And it?s crazy the things I’m feeling inside
Maybe someday I?ll get over you
But for now I don?t even want to try, whoa girl I don?t even want to try
Why can?t you love me
Why can?t you just be my girl
Why?s it all got to be so complicated
In this complicated world

G Bm C twice

Sometimes I get captured by the way a song sounds
Takes me inside and lifts me up off the ground
It can make you feel love like youve never felt before
Or it can make you cry and want to hide behind doors
For a song is more powerful than most people [G/F#]think
Go ahead and sit by the jukebox and order up a drink
And try not to listen, try not to hear the words
For that song thats always haunted you is always gonna be heard
I hope you listen to my songs, I hope you listen to what I say
This songs my life and thats the reason, oh the reason that I was made Sometimes I put some grit into it and sing as loud as I can
And I scream and yell at the crowd hoping that they understand
And sometimes they yell back and its as crazy as it can be
And I think to myself, what a hell of a life I lead
Chorus
Solo
Sometimes its just real slow and tender as it can be
And I look into your eyes and I wish you could see what I see
You may not want to listen, you may not like my style
But I promise you before the end of the night, theres something youre gonna realize

Chorus

The way you look at me makes my head spin around
I’m not quite sure yet just exactly what i’ve found
The face of an angel, a goddess that can make you cry
Windows all around her, well time it passes by

Shes a red headed woman with a cigarette with evil in her eyes
Shes a red headed woman with a cigarette thats her clever disguise

Well the whiskey goes down a little smoother than it ever has before
She took one last drag off a cigarette then threw her clothes to the floor
Well i bet she imagined another as she spoke with a wicked tone
All the demons crawled inside me, something I could not overcome

Chorus

Well i walked away knowing that i’d become something i could never ignore
She just watched me as i turned around walked right out the devils door
A pack of cigarettes on the night stand, just one more left to smoke
The red headed stood out in the darkness, the silence was took over solo

Chorus

Chorus

Weve been at each others throats for a while. I think we just need some rest. Both got
different ways of handling things, weve gotta get through all this mess. Take a break from
tryin to please one another, we might actually find the truth. Who we are, and what were about.
There something to ourselves we get to prove.
You got you getaway and I got mine. Go ahead and run but girl take your time. Theres
No tellin what we both might find. You got your getaway and I got mine.
Think Ill drive out to my brothers land. Treat a six string as my best friend. Sit by the
water and Ill think all night. Send my mind into a relative spin. If I know you, youre
probably callin the girls, plan a night on the town. Youll talk angry and youll talk mad, but
youll run to me when the end of the night rolls around.
Chorus
Bridge
Im not tryin to be clever. And you know that Ill never let you leave. I just want you to
be happy, every things gonna be alright, it always is with you and me. yeah.

You got you getaway and I got mine. Go ahead and run but girl take your time. Theres
No tellin what we both might find. You got your getaway and I got mine. 2X
