Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

How did it come so far?

 How did I lose it all?

No-one else to blame

 I put myself through this hell

It only takes a second,

 to change your world

And the friends you lose,

 will never return.

Ch.

I wish I had no memories,

 of the things I've done.

Im not running away,

 im just overcome.

I wish I could see,

 your laughing eyes.

But I lost it all,

 left to my own device.

Forgivness cant be bought,

 by the richest man.

But deciept can be sold,

 by the bearer's hand.

All the regrets in the world,

 wont solve anything.

Depression's holding the hand,

 of a child called sin.

Ch.

I wish I had no memories,

of the things I've done.

Im not running away,

im just overcome.

I wish I could see,

your laughing eyes.

But I lost it all,

left to my own device.

Br.

I know we'll never be the same

 but I want you to understand

  -4 beats

theres no looking back

 again I ask myself:

How did it come so far?

 How did I lose it all?

No-one else to blame

 I put myself through this hell

It only took a second,

 to change my world

And the friendship I've lost,

 will never return.

2. SWEET MASSACHUSETTS

Intro

play twice)

I watch the plane fly away, from the place it left me

with a coldness in my heart.

This old place dont look familar to me now,

 but I suppose it's good to be home.

All my ambitions and my dreams left on that jetplane,

back to the place that I belong.

 Sweet Massachusettes, I want to see it again

I want to be there again.

 but it's hard when you're banished three thousand

 miles away.

Dont get me wrong I love the country I come from

and my roots I'd never want to change.

But it was in the U-S of A that I finally found my way

a steady road I walked on.

All the bills I could not pay, so they sent me away,

and now all I think of is-

Sweet Massachusettes, I want to see her again

I want to feel it again.

but it's hard when you're banished three thousand

miles away.

Now my girl waits for me, hoping someday for my return.

but it seems so far away.

I hate to put her through this pain, to hear her cry on the line

I cannot comfort her of hold her hand.

I cant stand this hell, I might as well be in jail,

if I'm not with her.

My soul companion I did meet, when I lived on Bostons streets

I've got to get back somehow....to

Sweet Massachusettes, I want to hold her again

I've got to hold her again.

I need to see her again, I want to love her again. ect ect..

but it's hard when you're banished three thousand

miles away

3. I NEED YOUR LOVE

I dont need no money, I dont need no drugs.

I need you only, that's what I'm thinking of

Dont need no sunshine, dont need no coat

Need you to hold me, thats all I want.

And the endless days that pass, make me want you more

 I've been down for so long but I will overcome.

 Cause I need your loooooooooovvvvvvvvvvveeeeee

I need your love.

I dont need no fakin', lies I dont want

If it's just love we're makin' then I need more

Just want the real thing, just wanna know

that you'll stand by me no matter what.

As you listen to my words, you almost whisper to me

Without breathing a word you say to me.

I need your love.

I need your love.

I know time it goes so fast, and people often change.

but I knew I have been blessed when I see your face.

Oh love........

Love.............

4. SARAH

She rubs her eyes as they greet the sunlight,

and of the time she's unaware.

The calm is broken by screaming hinges,

as she opens her bedroom door.

She enters what once was a population,

just a year ago today.

Instinctivley she offers a greeting,

but there's no-one there to say hello.

Her swelling eyes fall down to the floor.

Then she screams out loud "what am I living for?".

She rustles through her evening ritual,

She sets the table for one.

Then she decides this is the right time,

that shes not gonna be alone no-more.

She falls to her knees, and prays to God.

Asking please forgive my faults.

For tonight is the last, she'll see of his world,

She rises, then smiles for one last time.

There is no sound as her mother enters,

There's no reply to her name.

Sleeping pills and a bottle of whiskey,

has taken away Sarahs pain......

IVE:

warm gun - 10 33 (according to)

5. 10:33(Acording To?)

I left you crying on the shore

and Ive been reeling evermore

I didnt mean to take it all

But thats the price youll pay for more

Cant you understand

 that this is the way Iam

 That Im never free

Is it too much to ask

 that you live with my request

 To try to part the sea

Now were walking underground

Nothing, No-one makes a sound

 Im happy with the place Ive found

Dont cry love, cry..............

Cant you realize

 that this is what's in my eyes

 Nothing I fail to see

Is this world destined to

break your heart in two

 When you let them in

Solo.

And these feelings will go on

trapped inside these four walls

 Dont degress till you are sure

 then try me, try................

Try to open to

 the things that you know are true

 then you will be at one

Theres only so much that I

 can tell you, to help your plight

 Then youll stand alone

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........

Cant you understand

 that this is the way Iam

 That Im never free

Is it too much to ask

 that you live with my request

 To try to part the sea.......

6. SMILE OF SADNESS

I know that you've been doing well,

and I know you've got you so called "friends",



but buisness suits and ties were'nt for me.

 I always went for what I thought was real.

 When we were young nothing seperated us,

 to be together was just about enough.

 But our lives changed, different paths we chose,

 now we meet again and our difference shows.

 Once were all my reasons and all my dreams,

 my beginning, my eternity,

 but when expected to hold up to the grade,

 I never knew how to be king.

(Chorus)

 But dont confuse my position, cause it wont change today,

feelings are on exhibition, years ago feel like yesterday,

 and I my youth I learned a lession,

 dont miss a chance for a kiss.

 Please dont confuse my expression, cause its a smile,

 but it a smile...of sadness

Saw the face of a child,

stare at the stars in the sky at night.

She was filled with wonder, overflowed with awe

I wished that I could see what she saw.

Then I turn to you, with your tearful eyes

as you sing a songs saddest lines

"It's when confusion is understood, I once was love,

It once was good".

So dont confuse my position, cause it wont change today,

feelings are on exhibition, years ago feel like yesterday,

and I my youth I learned a lession,

dont miss a chance for a kiss.

Please dont confuse my expression, cause its a smile,

but it a smile...of sadness

1. WHAT?

I walked into a dead-end love,

realized that it's not enough

Is it the same for you?

 The trials you put me though!

 I watched the ocean meet the sky,

 and saw the blue turn into black,

 and then counted the stars,

 its crazy i know.

 I needed to breathe, but this life is holding me

 this life is holding on

What are these thoughts inside my head?

 they are steamrolling my soul

 and my friends are out of touch,

 they wouln'nt even know.

Br.

I took a trip across the river, and ended up more confused

a different you.

Maybe this and maybe that,

I hope this is where you're maybe at

I cant comprehend,

why I cant understand.

Chorus.

2. SHE GIVES ME EVERYTHING

Intro loud

x2

then softly into verse...

My eyes are now not blind,

 She gives me everything.

Without the need to try,

 She gives me everything.

Over the sands of time, I was so damaged yeah,

Am/B Am Em G Em Am ---C

then you came along, but it took me so long. So long.

But I know that you are now,

 the measure of my dreams.

 and I owe you my life,

 wont deny you anything.

I may not have much, but I know I have enough,

 With you, with me, the measure of my dreams. The measure of my dreams

This road was so long, but just hold me, I'll know,

 what you mean to me.

When I let you down, you never backed down.

 And now it's so good, now it's so good.

ooh ooh ooh

So take what you like,

 I'll give you anything.

Cause for all of my life,

 she gives me everything X3 then fade....

3. PARALIZED

Cluthing reasons of reality,

You told me often about insanity,

 but it's alright, to my mind, to glide with me

(faster)

Come out, come in dont be a stranger,

get dowm, get up dont fear the danger,

 of a free mind, not many try to understand.

My constant battle with identidy,

is like a wind in a vacuum breeze,

The red stop light is shining bright

Never green.

Go through the motions of habitual lives

rejecting notions of a better time.

Why cant you see, this is not for me?

Im paralized.

Cluthing reasons of reality,

you told me often about insanity.

but it's alright, to my mind, to side with me.

4. RIDE ON

(INTRO)

 Like a shotgun, the night's split with indecision.

 I am one, who counts on this very nation.

 So bring back, bring back a higher meaning,

 but I see which, I see which way you're leaning.

x4

Oh---- we're all the same in the end,

 dont matter how much money we spend.

 The war is with ourselves,

 so ride on , right on -Yeah.

There's a thorn through,

American civilization.

With the fools who, cry for segregation.

If these ignorant and selfish fucking people,

were to leave us,

We'd see how much we didn'nt need them.

Oh--- we're all the same anyway

Dont matter how many games we play

The walls will all fall away,

So ride on, right on--yeah

Oh---- we're all the same in the end,

dont matter how much money we spend.

The war is within ourselves,

so ride on , right on ,ride on......ect ect

5. (She's) Holding My Soul

Intro Alternate Am and Am11 for four bars.

What did you say?

 Its too late for revival?

You should know by now,

 We need it for our survival.

(Br.1)

All you want is love

 You say its all you need.

Sometimes you cant see the forest for the trees

 and it's hurting me inside.

Why get involved with the ones that hurt you?

You need to break free from ones that desert you.

(Br.2)

So take a little time to realize what's real

Cause it's not the games you play

Or the drugs you steal (pick these then strum C i Ch.)

Fmaj7 Ab Am - G - D/F# -- Fadd9 - Gadd11

And it's driving me insane.

(Chorus.)

Your playing with my emotions

 I'm like a ship without a sail

In this game of frail devotions

 Sometimes you win but sometimes you'll fail.

Am Am11 -ect. ect.

Where do we go?

Now we've been to the bottom.

I give you everything,

But all I feel is sorrow.

(Br.3)

-ect. ect.

Love is wearing thin and time aint on our side.

I can't find what's wrong,

If you always hide.

Fmaj7 Ab Am - G - D/F# --Fadd9- Gadd11

And now she is holding my soul.

6. LIFE ROLLERCOASTER

12 Bar Blues on Verses

Twenty Years ago, remember I first spoke

I Layed down the law, told them just what I thought

My mother said "Boy, youll be a man, just keep your eyes open, do the best that you can"

 Well fifteen years ago I was still a child.

I thought the whole world lived in my town.

 I was happy playing football, It was my high,

 and I learned who my friends were and who to fight.

 Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down

  Shakes my nerves, spins my head around

  Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees

  I dont know were I'm going

  I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.

Oh. Ten years ago I was thirteen,

Got my first taste of lovin' if you know what I mean

She showed me hers, I showed her mine

I thought "what have I been doing all this time"

Well five years ago you know I was eighteen

The first girl I loved, I thought that it was a dream

Her first name was Kerry, her second was Anne

I thought it was forever, but she let me down

Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down

Shakes my nerves, spins my head around

Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees

I dont know were I'm going

I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.

Well two years ago, things had to change

So I jumped on a plane and headed for the States

Gorgeous woman everywhere, the sun always shines

I knew that I was gonna have the time of my life

But now Its today and nothings really changed

I still drink too much, I cant pay the bills.

As for understanding woman, I still have no clue

You know I think I knew more when I was two. Oh look out.

Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down

Shakes my nerves, spins my head around

Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees

I dont know were I'm going

I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.

7. LANDSLIDE

Intro

]

I took my love, I took it down

Climbed a mountain and I turned around

 And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills

 Till the landslide brung it down (Oh,)

 Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?

 Can the child within my heart rise above?

 Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?

 Can I handle the seasons of my li - i - fe?

Mm hmm hmm hmm

 Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I've

 Built my life around you

 But time makes you bolder, even children get older

 And I'm getting older too

Ah-ah, Climb a mountain and turn around

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills

Well, a landslide'll bring it down

  [pause]

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills

 Well, a landslide'll bring it down, oh-ohh

 The landslide'll bring it down.
