Its alright if you love me,

Its alright if you don't

I'm not afraid of you runnin away honey,

I got this feeling you won't

Say there aint no use in pretending,

Your eyes give you away

Something inside you is feeling like I do,

We said all there is to say

Breakdown go ahead and give it to me

Breakdown take me through the night

Breakdown go ahead give it to me,

Breakdown its alright,

its alright its alright

DEPENDING ON YOU - Petty

I ain't never gonna let you down

All you gotta do is trust me

I would never make you some clown

Baby why won't you trust me

You give up so easily I don't know why you can't see

I'm depending on you, don't let me down

I'm depending on you

Baby if you can't change the world

Maybe you should just change yourself

You used to be such a sweet young girl

Why you wanna be someone else?

You give up so easily

I don't know why you can't see

I'm depending on you

Is it to late now

I'm depending on you

I WON'T BACK DOWN - Petty

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down

You can stand me up at the gates of hell

But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around

And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down

Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down

Well I know what's right I got just one life

In a world that keep on pushin' me around

But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down

And I won't back down

No I wont't back down

LOVE IS A LONG ROAD - Petty

Intro

There was a girl in town

She said she cared about me

She tried to make my world

The way she tought it should be

Yeah we were desperate then

To have each other to hold

But love is a long, long road

There were so many times

I would wake up at noon

With my head spinning 'round

I would wait for the moon

And give her one more chance

To try and save my soul

But love is a long, long road

Yeah it was hard to give up

Some things are hard to let go

Somethings are never enough

I guess I only can hope

For maybe one more chance

To try and save my soul

But love is a long, long road

RUNNIN' DOWN A DREAM - Petty

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down

I had the radio on. I was drivin'

Trees flew by, me and Del was singin' little runaway

I was flyin'

Chorus

Yeah I'm runnin' down a dream

That never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

Runnin' down a dream

I felt so good like anything was possible

I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes

The last tree days the rain was un-stoppable

It was always cold, no sunshine

Chorus

I rolled on as the sky grew dark

I put the pedal down to make some time

There's something good waitin' down this road

I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

Chorus

THE APARTMENT SONG - Petty

I used to live in a two-room apartment

Neighbors knockin' on my wall

Times were hard I don't wanna knock it

I don't miss it much at all

Chorus

Oh yeah I'm alright I just feel a little lonely tonight

I'm okay most of the time I just feel a little lonely tonight

I used to need your love so badly

Then I came to live with it

Lately I get a faraway feeling

And the whole thing starts again

(CHORUS and 2nd verse)

~Title: FEEL A WHOLE LOT BETTER (Byrds,Gene Clark)

1964

The reason why, Oh I can't say

I had to let you go babe, And right away

After what you did, I can't stay on

And I`ll probably feel a whole lot better

When you're gone

Baby for a long time, You had me believe

That your love was all mine, And that's the way it would be

But I didn't know, That you were puttin' me on

And I`ll probably feel a whole lot better

When you're gone, Oh when you're gone

Now I got to say, That it's not like before

And I'm not gonna play, You're game any more

After what you did, I can't stay on

And I`ll probably feel a whole lot better

When you're gone

I`ll probably feel a whole lot better

When you're gone, Oh when you're gone

Oh when you're gone

In the Dark of the Sun - Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, from the

"Into the Great Wide Open" album

Intro

In the dark of the sun

Will you save me a place

Give me hope, Give me comfort

Get me to a better place

Saw you sail across a river

Underneath Orion's sword

In your eyes there was a freedom

I had never known before

Chorus

Hey yeah yeah

In the dark of the sun

We will stand together

Yeah we will stand as one

Oh in the dark of the sun

(Solo)

Past my days of great confusion

Past my days of wondering why

Will I sail into the heavens

Constellations in my eyes

Chorus

You push just a little too far

You make it just a little to hard

Theres been a change of heart

A Face In The Crowd - Tom Petty

it goes something like this :-

Before All of this ever went down

in another place, another town

you were just a face in the crowd

you were just a face in the crowd

out in the street walking around a face in the crowd

out of a dream, out of the sky

into my heart, into my life

And you were just a face in the crowd

out in the street, thinking out loud

A face in the crowd

INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN by TOM PETTY from the album of same name

The intro and first few bars of the verse seem to be the following:

Eddie waited till he finished high school

He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo

He met a girl out there with a tattoo too

The future was wide open.

They moved into a place they both could afford

He found a nightclub he could work at the door

She had a guitar and she taught him some chords

The sky was the limit.

Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue

Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.

(instrum: play the intro riff and end with G then A - I think)

The papers said Ed always played from the heart

He got an agent and a roadie named Bart

They made a record and it went in the charts

The sky was the limit.

His leather jacket had chains that would jingle

They both met movie stars, partied and mingled.

Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single."

The future was wide open.

Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue

Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.

Into the great wide open, under them skies of blue

Out in the great wide open, a rebel without a clue.

final flourish: .
