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

What happened?
03:06
|

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

The last hurrah
03:47
|
|||
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

Lonely without you
04:03
|

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

Madly in love
03:47
|
|||
You smile at me and my day starts
There’s so much love in both our hearts
I want a lifetime of you and me
A lifetime where we both can be
Madly in love with the life that we build
Madly in love with the way that we feel
Madly in love with a happiness so real
Madly in love
Madly in love with the thought of you near
Madly in love with the knowledge that we’re
Madly in love, let me whisper in your ear
I love you my dear
…madly in love
You smile at me and my life sings
Like a butterfly with brand new wings
I want a lifetime of tenderness
In love, I know, not in love, I guess
Madly in love with the life that we build
Madly in love with the way that we feel
Madly in love with a happiness so real
Madly in love
Madly in love with the thought of you near
Madly in love with the knowledge that we’re
Madly in love, let me whisper in your ear
I love you my dear
…madly in love
Am
I wanna feel you close
F
My eyes shut but my heart knows
Am
I wanna feel you near
F G
Feel my heart cheer
Madly in love with the life that we build
Madly in love with the way that we feel
Madly in love with a happiness so real
Madly in love
Madly in love with the thought of you near
Madly in love with the knowledge that we’re
Madly in love, let me whisper in your ear
I love you my dear
…madly in love

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

The friend they can count on

Everyone’s withdrawn

Be the friend you wish you had
The friend who smiles away the bad

Freedoms within
03:01
|

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
