Have you ever looked at the sky and wished for rain? Have you ever been so high you wished for pain Have you ever been so low that your blood forgot to flow Have you ever been afraid to glow Have you ever smiled at a child just because Have you ever loved someone because Jesus does Have you ever been so low that you forgot to say let’s go Have you ever been afraid to glow Life sure can be a harsh mistress Life can be a dirty business Have you ever had a drink and wished for sleep Have you ever thought I’m in too deep Have you ever been so low that love was so long ago Have you ever been afraid to glow That time when you’re about to blow When fear has nowhere else to go When tears are all you’ve got to show Keep searching for your own rainbow

Well I’m still reeling from the time we met You’re not the kind of girl I could forget Your eyes looked down deep inside my soul You read my heart just like an ancient scroll Well I’m still reeling from the time we kissed I make myself at home on waiting lists So it came to me as a surprise When you offered your lips and closed your eyes And love was everywhere that day From your smile to the sky no longer gray Yeah love was everywhere in sight Our souls were joined all through the night Well I’m still reeling from the time we cried When we forgot to let love be our guide We both thought we knew so much better But our eyes have never been any wetter And love was everywhere that day From your smile to the sky no longer gray Yeah love was everywhere in sight Our souls were joined all through the night Yeah I'm still reeling from it all Your love as hot as a fireball I want to feel every inch of you I want to know this love is true yeah I'm still reeling from it all

Split up 02:30
Am G I had a split up with a girl F G Twas the end of my damn world AM G F But she didn’t care enough to say goodbye Imagine who you’d think I’d be If she was still right next to me I bet I wouldn’t be a damn barfly C G I know there ain’t no way to tell Anyway you can’t unring that bell It’s true the bottle let me down Still I’m out drinking in this town I’ve been gone on the trip inside My life is stuck at low tide And there’s my soul revealed for all to see I wish I didn’t feel so fried I can’t find my way off that ride And there’s my soul drifting off to sea

We're coming to the part of day When I'm haunted by what the preacher said Preacher said, last Sunday And I think of my evil way That always comes with a price to pay Price to pay, come what may Am I running out of people to betray? Or am I tired of this game I play We’re coming to that part of the night When the heart in my chest feels way too tight Way too tight and that ain’t right And I think of what brings me delight Yes my life can be that black and white Black and white, and it don't shine so bright Am I running out of people to fight Or am I tired of never doing right We’re coming to that part of The song Where I admit, what I do is wrong It's so wrong, I guess I ain't that strong You could say, I've known it all along That's how come I wrote this song.

I don’t believe in ghosts but there’s so much history here I'm not smarter than most but I know whom I should fear As I stand on the coast and memories disappear I don’t believe in ghosts but there’s so much history here I don’t believe in love but I’ve seen love grow to the sky And if I look above I can still see it shine in your eye The pain we get rid of comes back please don’t ask me why I don’t believe in love but I’ve seen love grow to the sky And I will fight a thousand wars to hold you in my arms I’ll drink in a thousand bars to forget all your charms And if again I could be yours, if we could live hand in hand If God would open all the doors I’d be the happiest man in the land I don’t believe in make believe I don’t believe in dreams I may still be a bit naive but I know I can’t change teams There’s a time to laugh, a time to grieve and a time to smile it seems I don’t believe in make believe I don’t believe in dreams And I will fight a thousand wars to hold you in my arms I’ll drink in a thousand bars to forget all your charms And if again I could be yours, if we could live hand in hand If God would open all the doors I’d be the happiest man in the land I don’t believe in ghosts but there’s so much history here I'm not smarter than most but I know whom I should fear As I stand on the coast and memories disappear I don’t believe in ghosts but there’s so much history here

Love the one you are You’re a shining star Love your every scar Yeah love the one you are Love the one you’re not In our great melting pot Love with all you got Yeah love the one you’re not Love the one they hate When they discriminate Love ‘em, don’t you wait Love the one they hate Love the one who smiles HIs way through life’s trials Walk by him a few miles Yeah love the one who smiles Love the one who cries Tears flowing from his eyes Trouble will arise Yeah so love the one who cries

I'd like to drink with someone for a change I don’t think it’d be that strange Cause I drink alone when the sun goes down Just me and this old bottle of Crown I’d like to drink with someone who is here Not just with the ghosts from yesteryear Cause I drink alone till I cross that line Just me and this old bottle of wine So friend let me pour you a few And we’ll talk all night like young boys do Sit back down, let’s drink for a while Friend you might even see me smile I’d like to drink with someone who can laugh Don’t look at the bottle & say I had enough Cause I drink alone until the bad dreams come Just me and this old bottle of rum I’d like to drink with someone who can sing Someone who knows that love is king Cause I drink alone till time can’t find my watch Just me and this old bottle of scotch So let me pour you a few And we’ll talk all night like young boys do Sit back down, let’s drink for a while Friend you might even see me smile

He said I'm good and done talking to the Lord I tried love now I'm going with the sword No more falling to my knees No more begging please He said I'm good and done talking to the Lord His woman's gone but she still prays for him She says holy water doesn't care if you can't swim Don't turn your back on Grace, His love you can't replace his woman's gone but she still prays for him And the tears he cries God already cried The pain he feels God feels it inside It's a lonely walk in the dark of the night why don't you start walking back to the Light He said this world's no better on my own I thought I'd be better off alone I'm gonna bend my head pray like i've never prayed He said this world's no better on my own
