Standard (EADGBE)

Lights go down, it's dark The jungle is your head,

Can't rule your heart a feeling's so much stronger than a thought

your eyes are wide and though your soul, it can't be bought

your mind can wander

Hello hello (Hola!)

I'm at a place called Vertigo (Donde esta)

It's everything I wish I didn't know

Except you give me something I can feel, feel

The night is full of holes As bullets rip the sky

Of ink with gold They twinkle as the Boys play rock and roll

They know they can't dance At least they know....

I can't stand the beat I'm asking for the cheque

The girl with crimson nails Has Jesus round her neck

Swinging to the music Swinging to the music / Oh oh oh oh

Hello hello / I'm at a place called Vertigo

It's everything I wish I didn't know

But you give me something I can feel, feel

{ ~ Check mated Shots fall ... shove me in yeah~)

All of this, all of this can be yours

All of this, all of this can be yours

All of this, all of this can be yours

Just give me what I want and no-one gets hurt...

Hello hello (hola!) / We're at a place called Vertigo (Donde esta)

Your love is teaching me how, how to kneel... kneel

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah / Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

yeah yeah ... Yeah

Spend the day there

To hear the things you haven't said

And see what you might see

Do you feel anything at all

I want to see your thoughts take shape

And walk right out

I see them when you smile

I've seen enough, I'm not giving up

There is no limit

There is no failure here sweetheart

Just when you quit

I am you and you are mine

Love and logic keep us clear

Reason is on our side, love

3//SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN

Intro

Verse one

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tough, you think you've got the stuff

You're telling me and anyone

You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight

You don't have to always be right

Let me take some of the punches

For you tonight

Pre-chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Listen to me now

I need to let you know

You don't have to go it alone

Chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Verse two

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We fight all the time

You and I...that's alright

We're the same soul

I don't need...I don't need to hear you say

That if we weren't so alike

You'd like me a whole lot more

Pre-chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Listen to me now

I need to let you know

You don't have to go it alone

Chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Bridge

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know that we don't talk

I'm sick of it all

Can - you - hear - me - when - I -

Sing, you're the reason I sing

You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Well, hey now!

I've got to let you know

A house still doesn't make a home

Don't leave me here alone...

FINAL CHORUS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you that makes it hard to let go

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Sometimes you can't make it

The best you can do is to fake it

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

(Play 'A' to fade)

Verse

The most you see the less you know

The less you find out as you go home

I knew much more then, then I did now,

Neon heart, day-glow eyes, city lit by fire flies,

They're advertising in the sky for people like us.

And I miss you when you're not around,

I'm getting ready to leave the ground.

Verse riff

=main riff w/no D/G alternation + A a little different):

And it left me no illusion

I saw you in the curve of the moon / In the shadow cast across my room

You heard me in my tune / When I just heard confusion

Chorus riff

All because of you Verse riff picks off

All because of you All because of you I am

I like the sound of my own voice / I didn't give anyone else a choice

An intellectual tortoise / Racing with your bullet train

Some people get squashed crossing the tracks

Some people got high rises on their backs

I'm not broke but you can see the cracks

You can make me perfect again

Chorus

All because of you / All because of you / All because of you

I ... I

7// A MAN AND A WOMAN

Intro

Little sister

Don't you worry about a thing today

Take the heat from the sun

Little sister

I know that everything is not ok

But you're like honey on my tongue

True love never can be rent

But only true love can keep beauty innocent

I could never take a chance

Of losing love to find romance

In the mysterious distance

Between a man and a woman

No I could never take a chance

Cos I could never understand

The mysterious distance

Between a man and a woman

You can run from love

And if it's really love it will find you

Catch you by the heel

But you can't be numb for love

The only pain is to feel nothing at all

How can I hurt when I'm holding you?

I could never take a chance

Of losing love to find romance

In the mysterious distance

Between a man and a woman

And you're the one, there's no-one else

That makes me wanna lose myself

In the mysterious distance

Between a man and a woman

Brown eyed girl across the street

On rue Saint Divine

I thought this is the one for me

But she was already mine

You were already mine

Little sister

Ive been sleeping in the street again

Like a stray dog

Little sister

Ive been trying to feel complete again

But you're gone and so is God

The soul needs beauty for a soul mate

When the soul wants the soul waits

No I could never take a chance

Of losing love to find romance

In the mysterious distance

Between a man and a woman

For love and faith and sex and fear

And all the things that keep us here

In the mysterious distance

Between a man and a woman

Outro

You'll see

You'll see

How can I hurt when Im holding you?

8// CRUMBS FROM YOUR TABLE

Intro

From the brightest star Comes the blackest hole

You had so much to offer Why did you offer your soul?

I was there for you baby When you needed my help

Would you deny for others What you demand for yourself?

Cool down mama, cool off

Cool down mama, cool off

You speak of signs and wonders

But I need something other

I would believe if I was able

[G/f#]

But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

You were pretty as a picture / It was all there to see

Then your face caught up with your psychology

With a mouth full of teeth / You ate all your friends

And you broke every heart thinking / every heart mends

You speak of signs and wonders

But I need something other

I would believe if I was able

But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

Where you live should not decide

Whether you live or whether you die

Three to a bed / Sister Ann, she said

Dignity passes by

And you speak of signs and wonders

But I need something other

I would believe if I was able

I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

9// ONE STEP CLOSER

Intro

I'm 'round the corner from anything that's real

I'm across the road from hope

I'm under a bridge in a rip tide

That's taken everything I call my own

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

I'm on an island at a busy intersection

I can't go forward, I can't turn back

Can't see the future

It's getting away from me

I just watch the tail lights glowing

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

Knowing, knowing

I'm hanging out to dry

With my old clothes

Finger still red with the prick of an old rose

Well the heart that hurts

Is a heart that beats

Can you hear the drummer slowing?

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

Knowing, knowing

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

One step closer to knowing

Knowing, knowing

10//ORINGINAL OF THE SPECIES

Intro

, , ,, x2 (piano play)

Baby slow down

The end is not as fun as the start

Please stay a child somewhere in your heart.............

I'll give you everything you want

Except the thing that you want

You are the first one of your kind

And you feel like no-one before

You steal right under my door

And I kneel 'cause I want you some more

I want the lot of what you got

And I want nothing that you're not

Everywhere you go you shout it

You don't have to be shy about it

, , ,, x2 (piano play)

Some things you shouldn't get too good at

Like smiling, crying and celebrity

Some people got way too much confidence baby.....baby

I'll give you everything you want

Except the thing that you want

You are the first one of your kind

And you feel like no-one before

You steal right under my door

And I kneel 'cause I want you some more

I want the lot of what you got

And I want nothing that you're not

Everywhere you go you shout it

You don't have to be shy about it, no

oh no! oh no!.......

G, D, A (listen to cd to understand) X2

Come on now show your soul

You've been keeping your love under control

Everywhere you go you shout it

You don't have to be shy about it

Everywhere you go you shout it

Oh my my

And you feel like no-one before

You steal right under my door

I kneel 'cause I want you some more

I want you some more, I want you some more...

Oh no!............Oh no!............

Oh no!............Oh no!...........

Take these shoes Click clacking down some dead end street

Take these shoes And make them fit

Take this shirt Polyester white trash made in nowhere

Take this shirt And make it clean, clean

Take this soul Stranded in some skin and bones

Take this soul And make it sing

Yahweh, Yahweh

Always pain before a child is born

Yahweh, Yahweh

Still I'm waiting for the

dawn Take these hands Teach them what to carry

Take these hands Don't make a fist

Take this mouth So quick to criticise

Take this mouth Give it a kiss

Yahweh, Yahweh

Always pain before a child is born

Yahweh, Yahweh

Still I'm waiting for the

dawn

Still waiting for the dawn, the sun is coming up

The sun is coming up on the ocean

This love is like a drop in the ocean

This love is like a drop in the ocean

Yahweh, Yahweh

Always pain before a child is born

Yahweh, tell me now

Why the dark before the dawn? Oou-oou-oou-oou-oo

Take this city A city should be shining on a hill

Take this city If it be your will

What no man can own, no man can take

Take this heart Take this heart Take this heart And make it break
