OH JENNY

Sometimes I’m too good
Do the right thing if I could
Maybe that’s the problem though
Just say yes instead of no

I still remember
That cold and dark December
Well I had my chance and let it go
I guess we’ll never really know 

Sometimes I wish I’d tried
Sometimes I wish I’d lied

I think about that parking lot
I had a chance and took my shot
_One kiss or maybe two
I was scared and you were too 

Made a deal and kept my part
never gave away my heart
Second chances fade away
Nothing left but that’s okay

Sometimes I wish I’d tried
Sometimes I wish I’d lied

Oh Jenny     I can’t let it go
Oh Jenny    I just need to know
Was there ever just a moment you believed
did you ever think about just you and me?
Oh Jenny I believed
Oh Jenny I believed

If I could go way back in time
I know that I’d commit that crime
I’d take my chance with you and me
Change the course of history 

Now I’m getting older…yeah
there’s not much time for me
I’ve got 15, maybe 20
If I’m lucky left to see 

Sometimes I wish I’d tried
Sometimes I wish I’d lied

Oh Jenny     I can’t let it go
Oh Jenny    I just need to know
Was there ever just a moment you believed
did you ever think about just you and me?
Oh Jenny I believed
Oh Jenny I believed

 Always think about you
Yeah I know it’s just a dream
But it’s such a lovely memory
It’s one I’ll always keep 

And though it never came to be
I was holding to the dream
But I was never that naïve
Still Jenny I believed
Oh Jenny I believed
Oh Jenny I believed
Oh Jenny I believed 

POSSIBLY TRUE

You never really thought I loved you
I guess it’s possibly true
I think you tell yourself the things you think you want to be true
What if we never fell in love
What if we said the words but lied
What if we thought it was a good idea but never quite tried

(Chorus) But I was good for you and you for me
We got each other through a hard time
So what, I still believe my love for you will never die
But you were good for me and me for you
Yeah we were partners in crime
So what, I still believe my love for you will never die 

(Verse 2) I think you like it when its harder
You like to sing a sad song
I thought I did the things you needed but I guess I was wrong
I think you like a little chaos
I think you like to complain
I think it makes you more a martyr when it sounds more insane

(Chorus) But I was good for you and you for me
We got each other through a hard time
So what, I still believe my love for you will never die
But you were good for me and me for you
Yeah we were partners in crime
So what, I still believe my love for you will never die 

(Bridge) And it was easy to escape
Pass the buck and take no blame
We took the easy way out
We never played the game
And it was easy to believe
That we were over anyway
I think we could have stayed together
But we gave it all away 

(Verse 3) I saw the writing on the wall
I got the message loud and clear
I wasn’t really worth the effort so you just disappeared
I know you really didn’t need me
I know you like it on your own
And I keep telling everyone that I am better off alone 

(Chorus) But I was good for you and you for me
We got each other through a hard time
So what, I still believe my love for you will never die
But you were good for me and me for you
Yeah we were partners in crime
So what, I still believe my love for you will never die 

[ BREAK ]

(Bridge) And it was easy to escape
Pass the buck and take no blame
We took the easy way out
We never played the game
And it was easy to believe
That we were over anyway
I think we could have stayed together
But we gave it all away 

(Verse 4) I hope you’re happy in your new life
I hope you find a new love
I’m pretty sure you figured out that I was never enough
I think I’m really kind of simple
A little set in my ways
That doesn’t mean I want to be alone the rest of my days

(Chorus) But I was good for you and you for me
We got each other through a hard time
So what, I still believe my love for you will never die
But you were good for me and me for you
Yeah we were partners in crime
So what, I still believe my love for you will never die 

SO STRANGE

It’s been since April since you told me you love me
Not that I’m counting. Not that I care.
I’m just not sure if anybody still wants me.
It hurts a little if I’m being fair.

 And it’s…so strange.   •   So, so strange.

I’ve started noticing the little things that happen.
And more importantly the little things that don’t.
I try to tell myself it’s really not important.
Try to convince myself I’m better off alone. 

And it’s…so strange.   •   So, so strange.

(CHORUS)
I’m just too tired to
Fight this war… fight this war
I don’t have time to
Waste anymore…anymore
And we just don’t try
We’ve been fighting for something
And I don’t know why

There comes a point in every morning conversation.
You ask what’s up with me and never hear a word.
Sometimes I make things up to see if you are listening.
Or just stop talking cause it feels a bit absurd.

But it’s, okay      •      I guess it’s okay

And just about the time I’m telling you something
Another call comes in and you say good-bye
I can’t help feeling like I’m never important
It wouldn’t kill you to ignore them one time

But it’s, okay      •      I guess it’s okay … BUT…

(CHORUS)
I’m just too tired to
Fight this war… fight this war
I don’t have time to
Waste anymore…anymore
And we just don’t try
We’ve been fighting for something
And I don’t know why

Solo

And we just don’t try
We’ve been fighting for something
And I don’t know why

I guess it’s time for important decision
Why do we bother? Why do we try?
The clock is ticking and it’s getting us nowhere
It never changes and it’s making me cry
It’s just the truth and now it’s making me cry
I know it’s over and it’s making me cry

I DON’T MISS YOU

I have no plans to find a girlfriend 
I have no hope of finding love
That ship has sailed and dropped its anchor
That’s fine with me I’ve had enough

I’m pretty good without a lover
It never ends the way I want
I keep myself here pretty busy
I’ve got a few things going on

I don’t miss you every morning
I don’t miss you every night
If I did I’d never tell you
I’d pretend I’m doing fine
I could keep this up forever
everyone would think I’m good
I don’t miss you
but I’d kiss you If I could

I don’t need anyone’s opinion
And I can get there on my own
I know exactly what’s for dinner
I am just fine to eat alone

Sometimes I don’t know where I’m going
I never make it very far
I’d rather try to write a love song
I’d rather chill and play guitar

I don’t miss you every morning
I don’t miss you every night
If I did I’d never tell you
I’d pretend I’m doing fine
I could keep this up forever
everyone would think I’m good
I don’t miss you
but I’d kiss you If I could

break

well I stopped thinking about
all the__questions and doubt
I stopped worryin’ what I did wrong
I’m not perfect I know
but I’ve got__nothin’ to show           
just a Friday night to write another song

I’m just a condescending asshole
It seems to be a common theme
That means I’m often patronizing
I just don’t see it… I’m a dream.

Sometimes the truth is all you needed
Sometimes it’s just your own damn fault
But all those stories they keep telling
Take ‘em with    a grain of salt

I don’t miss you every morning
I don’t miss you every night
If I did I’d never tell you
I’d pretend I’m doing fine
I could keep this up forever
everyone would think I’m good
I don’t miss you
but I’d kiss you If I could

ODESSA LEFT TOWN

ODESSA LEFT TOWN SO FAST
BRIGHT BLUE DAYS OF SUMMER
A FEW FRIENDS CALLED
WITH NOTHING MUCH TO SAY

WE ALL SAW IT COMING
REALLY NO SURPRISE
OFF TO FRISCO
CITY BY THE BAY

EVERYBODY KNEW THAT SHE WAS LEAVING
EVERYBODY KNEW INCLUDING ME
NO ONE REALLY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT
AND SHE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS SHE’S FREE

I’VE BEEN WRITING LETTERS
I THROW ‘EM ALL AWAY
DOESN’T REALLY MATTER ANYWAY

I’M JUST GETTING ANGRY
I KEEP IT ALL INSIDE
I’M NO GOOD AT WHAT TO DO OR SAY

EVERYBODY KNEW THAT SHE WAS LEAVING
EVERYBODY KNEW INCLUDING ME
NO ONE REALLY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT
AND SHE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS SHE’S FREE

BRIDGE>

I HAVE COME TO UNDER-STAND A THING OR TWO
CONSEQUENCES COME FROM EVERTHING YOU DO
MAYBE NOT TODAY BUT SOMEDAY YOU WILL TOO
AND THEN IT’S JUST TOO LATE
MAYBE I’LL JUST WAIT

ODESSA SHOWED UP WITH NOTHING
SHE LEFT WITH MUCH THE SAME
AND STILL THE PLACE SEEMS
EMPTY SINCE SHE’S GONE

I’M JUST LIKE THE CLOSET
NOTHING LEFT INSIDE
I GUESS I ALWAYS KNEW
THAT SHE WAS WRONG

EVERYBODY KNEW THAT SHE WAS LEAVING
EVERYBODY KNEW INCLUDING ME
NO ONE REALLY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT
AND SHE’S THE ONLY ONE
SHE’S THE ONLY ONE
SHE’S THE ONLY ONE
SHE’S THE ONLY ONE
WHO THINKS SHE’S FREE

MOTEL

Seeing through the static
And everything erratic
Can sometimes sharpen your view
Promises are broken
And words left unspoken
You-did what you -- had to do.

Well, I’ve been at this motel
For the better part of hell
And the future I can’t even see
Your reflection, you say
Always gives you away
And the past is the past, let it be

And it’s just like last year
And just like next year
And it’s all the same in between
Oh I – Yeah I – I don’t know what I believe

I’ve been watching the window
And watching TV
But so far there’s nothing to see
The parking lot is empty
Just like my brain
I wish I had somewhere to be

Well, I guess it must be Christmas
And I don’t care
It feels like September ‘round here
Clarence took the car
So I headed to the bar
But I can’t even finish this beer

And it’s just like last year
And just like next year
And it’s all the same in between
Oh I – Yeah I – I don’t know what I believe

[Break]

[Bridge]

And those silver bells are ringing today
Yeah those Silver bells are ringing,
And I’m just here singing away

Now four o’clock is near
You’ll be sending us cheer
We’ve been hoping to see you all day
Your remorse and good will
Are convenient and still
We’ll take what you’re giving today

We’ve been waiting for something
To spur us along
And this is as good as it gets
Yeah with one lucky pull
And a load of your bull
You expect us to all just forget

And it’s just like last year
And just like next year
And it’s all the same in between
Oh I – Yeah I – I don’t know what I believe
Oh I – Yeah I – I don’t know what I believe

MY LOVE ROSE

I’M GONNA BUY A STAR
FOR MY LOVE ROSE
SHE’S OFF TO TALLAHASSEE
THERE SHE GOES
WE’LL START A CONSTELLATION
YOU AND ME
FROM HERE TO TALLAHASSEE
WE CAN SEE

I’VE BEEN LIVING BARE
SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE
NOTHING MUCH TO EAT
AND NOTHING’S ON
I SOLD MY GUN
AND BOUGHT SOME MAGAZINES
OFF TO TALLAHASSEE
SIGHT UNSEEN

I CAME HOME
AND TOOK A LOOK AROUND
CHECKED THE MAIL
AND OPENED WHAT I FOUND
A NOTE FROM ROSE, YEAH
SHE WAS MOVING ON
DOWN IN TALLAHASSEE
SHE WAS GONE

I STAY UP AND
STARE OUT AT THE STARS
YOU CAN DO THE SAME
FROM WHERE YOU ARE
LOOK UNTIL YOU FIND
THE ONE THAT GLOWS
THAT’S THE ONE I NAMED
FOR MY LOVE ROSE

WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA

THE SKY AND THE SEA
WERE THE SAME BLUEST BLUE
NO DISCERNIBLE HORIZON
JUST ME AND YOU

SHE’D BEEN THERE ONCE - BEFORE
IN A CAR LONG AGO
WHEN THINGS WERE DIFFERENT
THINGS YOU DON’T KNOW

WELL SHE STEPPED RIGHT OFF OF THAT GREYHOUND BUS
IT WAS LATE ON SATURDAY NIGHT
OUT IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA,
THE AIR WAS WARM AND SHE WAS A SIGHT
THE MOTEL LOOKED LIKE TWENTY-FIVE BUCKS
AND A BROKEN NEON LIGHT
AND SHE WAS GONE, SHE WAS GONE, SHE WAS GONE
YEAH SHE WAS GONE, SHE WAS GONE, SHE WAS GONE

EVERYBODY GETS LONESOME
EVERYBODY NEEDS A FRIEND
NOTHING HERE IS PERMANENT
NOTHING BUT THE END

THE DOOR OPENED WIDE
WITHOUT MAKING A SOUND
I COULD HEAR HER BREATH
BUT THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND

WELL SHE STEPPED RIGHT OFF OF THAT GREYHOUND BUS
IT WAS LATE ON SATURDAY NIGHT
OUT IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA,
THE AIR WAS WARM AND SHE WAS A SIGHT
THE MOTEL LOOKED LIKE TWENTY-FIVE BUCKS
AND A BROKEN NEON LIGHT
AND SHE WAS GONE, SHE WAS GONE, SHE WAS GONE
YEAH SHE WAS GONE, SHE WAS GONE, SHE WAS GONE

SADNESS IS A PART OF LIFE • IT’S A LESSON WE ALL LEARN
NO ONE GETS OFF EASY • HAPPINESS IS EARNED

BACK TO THE RIVER

I’ve been over that rainbow honey
But I’ve been back awhile
I’m so tired of feeling so funny
And hidin’ behind a smile

But it’s over now - Yeah, I’ve crossed that line
And I’m older now - And it’s fine fine fine

I’m so sick of sittin’ here lying
But I don’t know what’s true
Guess I’m gonna have to start tryin’
Yeah that’s what I’ll do

But it’s over now - Yeah, I’ve crossed that line
And I’m older now - And it’s fine fine fine

Pick me up          (well I could use it now)
Put me down       (before it gets around)
I’m all right          (that’s what I wanna say)
Back to the river and I’ll cleanse my soul today

Take me back to the Illinois River
Where I can finally breathe
Call my name and torture my liver
I’m wearin’ my heart on my sleeve

But it’s over now - Yeah, I’ve crossed that line
And I’m older now - And it’s fine fine fine

Pick me up          (well I could use it now)
Put me down       (before it gets around)
I’m all right          (that’s what I wanna say)
Back to the river and I’ll cleanse my soul today

Well I’m not that kind of man
I hope that you understand
I’ve been away too long
Caught in the undertow
Gotta just let it go
Nobody’s all that strong
I’m hopin’ and prayin’
Yeah, But never just sayin’
That ain’t the way back home
Well I’m over tryin’ yeah
But I’m just not buyin’
But I’m willing to go....
Willing to go it alone

Pick me up          (well I could use it now)
Put me down       (before it gets around)
I’m all right          (that’s what I wanna say)
Back to the river and I’ll cleanse my soul today
Back to the river and I’ll cleanse my soul today
Back to the river and I’ll cleanse my soul today

EMPTY SKY

EMPTY SKY - LOOK MY WAY
STAND MY GROUND - TIL YOU TURN GREY
EMPTY SKY - GOES ON AND ON
CLOSE MY EYES - UNTIL YOU'RE GONE

THERE'S A MESSAGE IN THE HILLS
YOU CAN HEAR IF YOU'LL BE STILL
HOLD YOUR BREATH AND CLEAR YOUR MIND
AND EMPTY SKIES YOU WILL FIND

EMPTY SKY AND ALL ALONE
WE ARE ALL JUST ON OUR OWN
EMPTY SKY WILL SET YOU FREE
ALL THE SAME JUST YOU AND ME

THERE ARE VOICES IN THE WIND
WORDS OF LOVE THEY ALWAYS SEND
FILL YOUR HEART AND MAKE YOU CRY
A COMMON THREAD AND EMPTY SKY

EMPTY SKY AND ALL ALONE
WE ARE ALL JUST ON OUR OWN
WE ARE ALL JUST ON OUR OWN

WE ARE ALL JUST ON OUR OWN

WE ARE ALL JUST ON OUR OWN

LIKE A SPARROW

SUNSET IN THE DESERT SKY
LIKE A FIRE IN THE DEVIL’S EYE
COOL BREEZE AS THE SUN BEGINS THE FADE

ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN SHORE
NOT SURE WHAT WE CAME HERE FOR
NOW AND THEN I BELIEVE WE’VE BEEN BETRAYED

COULDN’T TELL YOU HOW THE STORY ENDS
I’M STILL CONFUSED HOW IT ALL BEGINS
AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN IS STILL UNCLEAR

IT ALL SEEMS CRAZY AT A CASUAL GLANCE (BUT)
I WOULDN’T CHANGE IT IF I HAD THE CHANCE
THE BITS AND PIECES ARE THE WHOLE THAT BRINGS ME HERE

LIKE A SPARROW  //  STRAIGHT AND NARROW
I CAN FEEL I’M FREE
GETTIN’ STRONGER  //  NOT MUCH LONGER
WE’LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE

PEOPLE COME YEAH AND PEOPLE GO
YOU FALL IN LOVE BUT YOU NEVER KNOW
THINGS CAN CHANGE BEFORE YOU GET A CHANCE TO BREATHE

YOU TAKE A CHANCE EVERY NOW AND THEN
IT’S GETTIN’ HARDER NOT TO JUST PRETEND
WE’RE ALL JUST LOOKIN’ FOR THE ONE WE CAN BELIEVE

LIKE A SPARROW  //  STRAIGHT AND NARROW
I CAN FEEL I’M FREE
GETTIN’ STRONGER  //  NOT MUCH LONGER
WE’LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE

BRING THE NET I’M FALLIN’ WOULD YOU CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
THINGS WOULD BE SO SIMPLE IF YOU’D ONLY HOLD MY HAND
FOR AWHILE
FOR AWHILE

COULDN’T TELL YOU HOW THE STORY ENDS
I’M STILL CONFUSED HOW IT ALL BEGINS
AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN IS STILL UNCLEAR

IT ALL SEEMS CRAZY AT A CASUAL GLANCE (BUT)
I WOULDN’T CHANGE IT IF I HAD THE CHANCE
THE BITS AND PIECES ARE THE WHOLE THAT BRINGS ME HERE
THE BITS AND PIECES ARE THE WHOLE THAT BRINGS ME HERE
THE BITS AND PIECES ARE THE WHOLE THAT BRINGS ME HERE 

RAIN AGAIN

Here comes the rain again
Just like an old lost friend
Like breathing oxygen
Here comes another storm
This time it’s gonna pour
I guess that’s just the score
Why can’t the rain just wash away my pain

It’s really comin’ down
I wonder if I’ll drown
Don’t even make a sound
Those clouds keep a-rollin’ in
They’re building up again
Lightenin’ and thunderin’
Why can’t the rain just wash away my pain

Well I’m rollin’ down my window
Gonna put my hand outside
That summer breeze is blowin’
And there’s nowhere left to hide
I might as well just open up my arms
Let it bury me alive
One thing I can count on is
Here comes the rain again

Here comes another day
There’s nothing left to say
Why don’t we walk away
There’s nothing left unsaid
So why get out of bed
It’s all inside my head
Why can’t the rain just wash away my pain

You might think that I’m okay if you
Sat down and talked to me all day long
I would never admit that there’s only
One thing that is keeping me strong
I wonder what else I can do
I know that I will make it through
I hope that don’t go insane while I’m
Standin’ in the rain

Here comes the rain again
Just like an old lost friend
Lightenin’ and thunderin’ yeah

SOMETHING IN THE WAY

I fell in love with you this morning
I watched you walk away last night
You walked out of the bar
And strolled down to your car
And baby I could see the light

There’s something in the way that you know me
Even though we’d never met before
And if I had to guess
I know that you’d say yes
And you’d be mine forever more

(chorus)
Something in the way that you love me
Something in the way that you call my name
Nothing I can say
I really can’t explain
It’s just something in the way

I know my heart knows what it’s after
But my mind is working overtime
Is everything OK?
It’s been a long, long day
But then you seem to read my mind

So now and then I start to wonder
Is all of this for real and true
You put my mind at ease
You say the perfect things
You always know just what to do

(chorus)
Something in the way that you love me
Something in the way that you call my name
Nothing I can say
I really can’t explain
It’s just something in the way

And when my head hits the pillow
On the bed next to you
I have to believe that the dream’s come true
There’s no place I’d rather be

Break

(chorus)
Something in the way that you love me
Something in the way that you call my name
Nothing I can say
I really can’t explain
It’s just something in the way
Nothing I can say
I really can’t explain
It’s just something in the way

WHISKEY AIN’T WORKIN’

WHERE THERE WAS NOTHING YOU JUST APPEARED
LIKE CINDERELLA ON A CALIFORNIA NIGHT
YOU TOOK MY HEART AND YOU RAN AWAY
I KNOW THE STORY AND IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT
MAYBE YOU KNOW THE STORY TOO
'CAUSE IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU

THE WHISKEY AIN'T WORKING
WHAT YOU GONNA DO
DRIVE OUT TO THE DESERT
FOR A LITTLE DOSE OF TRUTH
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BOTHER
OR PRETEND TO EVEN CARE
THE WHISKEY AIN'T WORKIN'
THERE'S NOTHING REALLY THERE

I OWE YOU MORE THAN YOU REALLY KNOW
THE CLOCK WAS TICKING BUT I PAID NO MIND
I HAD A THEORY OF HOW IT GOES
AND I WAS TELLING ME THAT THAT WAS FINE
I HAD A CHANCE MAYBE MORE THAN ONE
I THOUGHT THAT I WAS PROBABLY DONE

THE WHISKEY AINT' WORKING
WHAT YOU GONNA DO
DRIVE OUT TO THE DESERT
FOR A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW
NO ONE'S GONNA BOTTHER YOU
OR TRY TO BE YOUR FRIEND
THE WHISKEY AIN'T WORKIN'
UNTIL THE BITTER END

SOLO

NO ONE WAS WRONG NO ONE WAS RIGHT
THEN WHY AM I STILL THINKING
'BOUT YOU EVERY NIGHT
NOBODY KNOWS EXCEPT FOR YOU
I STARTED THINKING YOU GOT NOTHING ELSE TO DO

I CAN’T BELIEVE WHERE THE TIME HAS GONE
I USED TO WONDER WHAT YOU’RE DOIN’ NOW
I CAN’T IMAGINE IT’S CHANGED THAT MUCH
NOBODY ANSWERS WHEN I ASK AROUND
I MAY BE RIGHT BUT I MIGHT BE WRONG
IT’S JUST THE SAME OL’ SONG

THE WHISKEY AIN'T WORKING
WHAT YOU GONNA DO
DRIVE OUT TO THE DESERT
FOR A LITTLE DOSE OF TRUTH
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BOTHER
OR PRETEND TO EVEN CARE
THE WHISKEY AIN'T WORKIN'
THERE'S NOTHING REALLY THERE

NO ONE WAS WRONG NO ONE WAS RIGHT
THEN WHY AM I STILL THINKING
'BOUT YOU EVERY NIGHT

LOST AND FOUND

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO START
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE ONE
WHO WOULD BREAK YOUR HEART

IT DOESN'T REALLY SEEM FAIR
I NEVER ASKED TO BE "THE ONE"
DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY EASIER
WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE

SOMETIMES I THINK I'VE CHANGED MY WAYS
BUT JUST LIKE EVERY TIME IT FADES
AND I CAN TELL YOU HOW IT ENDS
DON'T WANT TO TAKE YOU DOWN WITH ME
DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU DROWN WITH ME
IT'S ALL CLICHE AND "LET'S BE FRIENDS"

THAT'S THE WAY IT'S ALWAYS BEEN
I COULDN'T CHANGE IT IF I TRIED
NOTHING THAT YOU COULD HAVE SAID OR DONE
THAT COULD CHANGE MY MIND

I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S TOO LATE FOR ME
I JUST ACCEPT THAT'S HOW IT GOES
I MADE MY PEACE AND I'M OKAY WITH IT
AS FAR AS ANYBODY KNOWS

SOMETIMES I THINK I'VE CHANGED MY WAYS
BUT JUST LIKE EVERY TIME IT FADES
AND I CAN TELL YOU HOW IT ENDS
DON'T WANT TO TAKE YOU DOWN WITH ME
DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU DROWN WITH ME
IT'S ALL CLICHE AND "LET'S BE FRIENDS"

DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO LETS YOU DOWN
DON'T WANT TO LEAVE YOU LOST AND FOUND
BUT WE BOTH KNEW THIS FROM THE START
DON'T WANT TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION
WE'RE BOTH GONNA NEED CONSOLATION
THERE'S JUST NO EASY WAY
NO EASY WAY TO BREAK YOUR HEART
HEART   •    HEART

SOLO

SOMETIMES I THINK I'VE CHANGED MY WAYS
BUT JUST LIKE EVERY TIME IT FADES
AND I CAN TELL YOU HOW IT ENDS
DON'T WANT TO TAKE YOU DOWN WITH ME
DON'T WANT TO MAKE YOU DROWN WITH ME
IT'S ALL CLICHE AND "LET'S BE FRIENDS"

THERE NEVER REALLY IS A FAIRYTALE
AND WISHES DON'T COME TRUE
BUT IF THERE'S "HAPPY EVER AFTER"
I HOPE IT HAPPENS FOR YOU

I HOPE IT HAPPENS FOR YOU

DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO LETS YOU DOWN
DON'T WANT TO LEAVE YOU LOST AND FOUND
BUT WE BOTH KNEW THIS FROM THE START
DON'T WANT TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION
WE'RE BOTH GONNA NEED CONSOLATION
THERE'S JUST NO EASY WAY

THERE’S JUST NO EASY WAY
NO EASY WAY TO BREAK YOUR HEART
HEART   •    HEART

WHAT IF WE NEVER WENT TO SLEEP

SOMETIMES I THINK I MUST BE DREAMING AGAIN
I AM OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
I’M BACK WHERE I’VE ALWAYS BEEN

I CLOSE MY EYES AND HOPE IT ALL GOES AWAY
I’M LEFT WITH NOTHING TO SAY
IT’S JUST A DREAM ANYWAY

WHAT IF THE SUN NEVER WENT DOWN
WHAT IF THE EARTH STOPPED TURNING AROUND
WHAT IF WE JUST GOT IN TOO DEEP
WHAT IF WE NEVER WENT TO SLEEP

I LIE AWAKE EYES OPEN WIDE TO THE LIGHT
I DON’T SEE DAY OR SEE NIGHT
I DON’T SEE WRONG OR SEE RIGHT

I DON’T BELIEVE IN MANY PEOPLE THESE DAYS
I THINK THAT NORMAL HAS CHANGED
I DON’T THINK IT’S JUST A PHASE

WHAT IF THE SUN NEVER WENT DOWN
WHAT IF THE EARTH STOPPED TURNING AROUND
WHAT IF WE JUST GOT IN TOO DEEP
WHAT IF WE NEVER WENT TO SLEEP

(BRIDGE)
WELL CLOSE YOUR EYES – SURPRISE
THE WORLD JUST GOES AWAY
NOW CLOSE YOUR MIND – AND FIND
ANOTHER PLACE TO STAY
NOW OPEN WIDE – INSIDE
AND LET IS ALL ESCAPE
IF THE EARTH STOPPED TURNING AROUND
IT DOESN’T MATTER ANYWAY

SOLO

WHAT IF THE SUN NEVER WENT DOWN
WHAT IF THE EARTH STOPPED TURNING AROUND
WHAT IF WE JUST GOT IN TOO DEEP
WHAT IF WE NEVER WENT TO SLEEP

WHAT IF THE SUN BEGAN TO FADE
WHAT IF THE EARTH JUST LOST ITS WAY
WHAT IF WE ALL TURNED INTO SHEEP
WHAT IF WE NEVER WENT TO SLEEP
WHAT IF WE NEVER WENT TO SLEEP

ONE NIGHT

THERE WAS ONE NIGHT
WHEN YOU AND I
WERE MEANT TO BE
THERE WAS ONE NIGHT

AND EVERYTHING
YOU SAID WAS RIGHT
AND YOU WERE MINE
THERE WAS ONE NIGHT

WE DID NOT KNOW
EACH OTHER WELL
BEFORE THAT NIGHT
AND THEN I FELL

I FELL FOR YOU
AND YOU FOR ME
BUT IT WAS JUST
NOT MEANT TO BE

THERE WAS ONE NIGHT
PERFECT AND TRUE
THERE WAS ONE NIGHT
WHEN I LOVED YOU

I WENT FROM NOWHERE
TO HEAD OVER HEELS
I NEVER LEARN FROM THE PAST
YOU SAID I LOVE YOU
I COULDN’T BREATHE
BUT YOU KNOW YOU FALL TOO FAST

THERE WAS ONE NIGHT
WHEN YOU AND I
WERE MEANT TO BE
THERE WAS ONE NIGHT

THERE WAS ONE NIGHT
PERFECT AND TRUE
THERE WAS ONE NIGHT
WHEN I LOVED YOU

IT’S TOO LATE

Three years down the road
from the first time that you told
me that you didn't love me any more.
Did you think that things would change?
Well, the whole thing seems so strange.
I thought that I could fix it all before
it's too late.

There was nothing left to gain.
Just regret and pain.
You put me through it time and time again.
I'm not hangin' 'round
'cause one thing that I've found
is I don't need another friend.
It's too late.

It's too late to wonder why.
It's too late. Don’t waste your time.
It's too late to even try.
It's too late.
It's too late and there's no way out.
It's too late to scream and shout.
It's too late there can be no doubt.
It's too late.

You told me you were through.
There was nothing I could do.
I wouldn't let myself admit it's true.
You were pushing me away
every night and every day.
And I was holding on though I knew
it's too late.

It's too late to wonder why.
It's too late. Don’t waste your time.
It's too late to even try.
It's too late.
It's too late and there's no way out.
It's too late to scream and shout.
It's too late there can be no doubt.
It's too late.

Why did I cling so tight
to something so not right?
It doesn't make much sense to me.
It's really no surprise,
So, why not cut the ties?
I guess I just can't quit so easily.

It's time to set things straight.
No need to sit and wait.
Our time has come and gone.
It's just too late.

It's too late to wonder why.
It's too late. Don’t waste your time.
It's too late to even try.
It's too late.
It's too late and there's no way out.
It's too late to scream and shout.
It's too late there can be no doubt.
It's too late.

GOOD-BYE CALIFORNIA

Came here to get away
Came here to start up something new
Came here to find myself
Found myself then somehow I found you

I thought that I had found my home
Someplace that I could call my own
Truth is I guess you never know

Came here to figure out
What life is all about
I still don’t have a clue
Never have the time to think it through

I guess that I’d just given in
Never fall in love again
Don’t know if I have ever been

So good-bye California
It’s time to say good night
I guess the time is right
Time to say good-bye my friend
Good-bye California
And thanks for being there
You were more than fair
Now it’s good-bye California
Once again

I came here from Tulsa O
Came here twenty years ago
Came here and I don’t know
Where the story ends or where it goes

I’ve started over once or twice
Sometimes it worked out nice
Wish I had had some good advice

So good-bye California
It’s time to say good night
I guess the time is right
Time to say good-bye my friend
Good-bye California
You were more than fair
Now it’s good-bye California
Once again

Solo

So good-bye California
It’s time to say good night
I guess the time is right
Time to say good-bye my friend
Good-bye California
And thanks for being there
You were more than fair
Now it’s good-bye California once again
yes it’s good-bye California once again
yes it’s good bye California
good bye California
yes it’s good bye California once again

GONE LONG GONE

I've been driving down a one way road
over my shoulder is a heavy load
i've been haulin' it around but now i'm through
gonna keep drivin' 'til I'm long, long gone
hands on the wheel but my mind's on a song
nothing's gonna stop me 'til I make my way to you

and we're rollin', rollin' again

and i've been gone from here for quite some time
yes, i'm already gone inside my mind

tired of actin' poor every single day
gonna cut loose in a great big way
promise you baby it will all be over soon
back to the hills and the great big sky
little bit of land and a whole lotta time
it's easier to breathe when you give yourself some room

and we're rollin', rollin' again

and i've been gone from here for quite some time
yes, i'm already gone inside my mind

gotta stay patient for a little more time
ain't never been there but it sure sounds fine
get a little spread i can finally call my own
it's never gonna happen if i stay right here
barely pay the rent and a six-pack of beer
it don't make sense so I guess i'll hit the road

and we're rollin', rollin' again

and i've been gone from here for quite some time
yes, i'm already gone inside my mind
yes, i'm already gone inside my mind

i'm gone, long gone, long gone good-bye
i'm gone, long gone, long gone good-bye
i'm gone, long gone, long gone good-bye

SUN GOES DOWN

you're going nowwhere slowly
i'm going nowhere fast
you are the one and only
i know i won't outlast
you always come and go
i come by now and then
through years of highs and lows
you've been my constant friend

i've been waiting 'round for something more
i've been waiting 'round, don't know what i'm waiting for

sun goes down and everybody gathers 'round
sun goes down and nothing's changed
and no one's found
sun goes down for a hundred thousand million years
sun goes down on my ocean of tears

you've been around forever
i'm sure you've heard it all
well, here's another good one
it's probably typical
nothing seems to make much
sense to me
just when everthing is going good
i have to leave

i've been waiting here to turn the tide
i've been waiting here and now it's finally on my side

sun goes down and everybody gathers 'round
sun goes down and nothing's changed
and no one's found
sun goes down for a hundred thousand million years
sun goes down on my ocean of tears

someday i know i'll probably understand
someday some way
somehow i know i'll finally work it out
someday, i hope it's not too late

you've seen it all a million
times before
it makes me wonder
what i even came here for
i guess i'll turn around and
say my good-byes
truth of the matter is
you never were that wise

i've been waiting here to turn the tide
i've been waiting here and now it's finally on my side

sun goes down and everybody gathers 'round
sun goes down and nothing's changed
and no one's found
sun goes down for a hundred thousand million years
sun goes down on my ocean of tears
sun goes down on my ocean of tears
sun goes down on my ocean of fears
