A C#m Bm I should have died that night outside of Reno A C#m Bm D But the Devil let me go A C#m Bm I shoulda died a long time ago A E Bm Why I’m still here I don’t know E A So I dance with the sun every morning E A A lot of spirit, a lot of soul a lot of meaning C#m Bm Men like me don’t have a past E A We don’t live old but we live fast A C#m Bm I should have died that night outside of Reno A C#m Bm D But the Devil let me go A C#m Bm I shoulda died a long time ago A E Bm Why I’m still here I don’t know One door closed another will open Softer words will be spoken She loves me like a snake loves to bite Like darkness kills the light A C#m Bm I should have died that night outside of Reno A C#m Bm D On my way back from the show A C#m Bm But we met and shared our first Hello A E Bm Why I’m still here now I know

I’d tell you ‘bout the birds, I’d tell you ‘bout the bees I’d drive you in my cars but I misplaced the keys My life is upside down let’s leave for another town Sometimes a man he tries to drown I’d tell you bout the clouds I’d tell you bout the rain I’d tell you bout the times when I cried from the pain My life is upside down let’s leave for another town Sometimes a man he tries to drown I’d tell you bout the doubts I’d tell you bout the tears I’d tell you bout the feelings of rage and the fears My life is upside down let’s leave for another town Sometimes a man he tries to drown I’d tell you bout the silence I’d tell you bout the sighs I’d tell you bout the baby and my anguish when she cries My life is upside down let’s leave for another town Sometimes a man he tries to drown

Someone Will 04:00
D. a. g Someone used to live here, someone who had dreams Someones used to live here Now it’s empty it seems Someone used to love here Someone used to care Someone used to love here With a heart big enough to share A Bm Someone could love again G Someone could dream again A Someone could take your hand D Someone will my friend Someone used to laugh here Someone used to smile Someone used to laugh here But it’s been a while A Bm Someone could love again G Someone could dream again A Someone could take your hand D Someone will my friend A And when the sun shines down on you Bm And these words finally ring true Take the time to live again Take the time to dream again Take the time to laugh again Take the time to smile again Take the time to love again

C What happened to this train Did we run outta track Am Can we start again Or is there no coming back F It’s driving me insane This running with the pack C What happened to this train G How did we fade to black What happened to this place We never said farewell It’s just an empty space With no stories left to tell She’s gone but just in case I checked the wishing well What happened to this place We’re gone without a trace F What happened to us all, since when do we feel small Who will answer the call, stand up after they fall What happened to your heart That was beating in my chest How did we fall apart Who coulda known or guessed That you’d need a fresh start You’d no longer feel blessed What happened to your heart Why am I second best

Running from the law Running as fast as you ever saw Running from the law This is my last hurrah The sheriff’s knocking at my door Gotta say it’s happened before I’m wanted for reasons best ignored I’m running from the law Running that’s my flaw Running from the law This is the last straw I’m not that bad at the core I don’t think it matters anymore I’ve got too much to answer for They haven’t caught me yet but the day is young I hope I’ll get To finish this song Running from the law Running as fast as you ever saw Running from the law Hey Sheriff, how can fast can you draw?

She said Mister I have a bone to pick with you I said well, I have a bone for you, too She said it’s not nearly as funny as you think I said it’s funny all right, but you need another drink She said not everything in life has gotta be a joke I said you don’t have to fix it just because it’s broke She said keep it up if you really wanna see me leave I said well, your backside’s your best side I do believe So we were writing us an I said, she said song Right up until the point she said So long I thought it was so right, but she felt it was so wrong And that’s the end of our I said, she said song When she came back to get her stuff she wasn’t alone I said Fella just so you know she’s only on loan She said dream on big boy you’ll never see me again I said it’s not a matter of it but a matter of when She flipped me the finger so I flipped her around I let my eyes linger, kissed her without a sound Fella tried to cut in but she pushed him to the ground So I took it as a yes and ordered another round

I’m lonely without you The days go by but I can’t find my happy Lonely without you I wish I could fly to where you need to be Lonely without you I wanna feel you by my side Lonely without you Can’t buy me joy God knows I tried Lonely without you I just wanna say hi when you wake next to me Lonely without you Let's simplify and and share the same key Lonely without you I wanna feel you by my side Lonely without you Can’t buy me joy God knows I tried Lonely without you x2 Lonely without you Baby you can't deny our love makes us free I gotta ask why you're not here with me Lonely without you I wanna feel you by my side Lonely without you Can’t buy me joy God knows I tried

Will you be 04:02
Am C F Your grandpas were leaders of men Am C F As mighty with a sword as they were with a pen Dm G I tried to learn from them time and again Am G F G I try to teach you what I learned back then C Will you be F A friend to those in need Am A friend to those who bleed G Will you step up and lead C Will you be F The friend they can count on Am When everyone is gone G Everyone’s withdrawn C Will you be Love’s always your best bet Don’t waste your time with regret Always be grateful for what you get Don’t ever forget to celebrate C Will you be F A friend to those in need Am A friend to those who bleed G Will you step up and lead C Will you be F The friend they can count on Am When everyone is gone G Everyone’s withdrawn C Will you be Am G F Be the friend you wish you had The friend who smiles away the bad

G Bm We lived in the freedom hills C Cm A life not made of thrills We found peace in the river Nature’s a tireless giver We’d fish the day away Whether the sky was blue or gray We’d rest under the trees Comforted by the breeze Am C G My dad, he never did give me a name Am C G D Said he loved me just the same Am C G My mom she left in search of a big win She never felt the freedom within We went to school when we ran out of books The teacher shot us dirty looks Daddy said life will teach you the ropes Long before the world kills your last hopes Am C G My dad, he never did give me a name Am C G D Said he loved me just the same Am C G My mom she left in search of a big win She never felt the freedom within
