" Wander This World "





Still Rainin'
(tabs & chords)

(guitar solo)

Clouds, one by one, fill the sky
Just like these tears that fill my eyes
I know by now, she ain't comin' back,
and I watch my world slowly fade into black

Look out my window, it's still rainin'
Say, look out my window, it's still rainin'

They say that time heals evrything,
but I know the pain, honey, love can bring
It don't get no better with each passing day
Every hope I had is slowly slipping away

Look out my window, it's still rainin'
Look out my window, oh, it's still rainin', still rainin'

I thought the morning would rescue me, yeah
but the rain keep(s) falling so endlessly, endlessly

(guitar solo)

Now, sometimes I wonder what'll become of me
There ain't much left of what I used to be
her love shone on me just like a morning light,
but now here I am alone again tonight

Look out my window, it's still rainin'
Look out my window, it's still rainin', still rainin'
Look out my window, it's still rainin', still rainin', ah, hoo
Look out my window, it's still rainin'
Still rainin'
Still rainin', still rainin', ha !
Still rainin', still, still
Still rainin'
Still rainin'

Second Guessing
(chords)

Weah
Second guessing,
first impressions
There you go again
You're rushing off
in all directions
since I don't know when
All day long you been building walls
You been building walls all day
Putting ceillings
on your feelings
when they should be
flying away

And everything you're looking for
you'll know when it's real,
you'll know when you find it
by the way, the way, just the way it makes you feel, baby

Weah
Writing down your deepest emotion
with your pen in hand
Your piece of paper flew out the window,
you watched it try and land
You felt so bad as it
flew out of sight,
a part of your heart alone in the night
But  all of a sudden
you didn't mind it,
when you pictured the lonely stranger that would finally find it

Everything that you're looking for,
you'll know when it's real,
you'll know when you've found it
by the way, the way, the way it makes you feel, yeah, baby

(guitar solo)

And everything you're looking for,
you'll know when it's real,
you'll know when you've found it
by the way it makes you feel, aw baby
Everything you're looking for,
you'll know when it's real, yeah,
say you'll know when you finally found it
by the way, the way it makes you feel, baby,
the way it makes you feel inside, yeah, yeah

I Am
(tabs)

Yeah, listen
If being in love means waiting around
so that you can dance with me,
I am, I am
If being in love means follow the leader
then this will have to be
I am, I am

I am, I am
Baby, I am so in love 'wich' you
I am, I am, gonna get you, baby,
if it's the last thing I do

I used to think that a pretty face
meant more than what was inside
I did, I did
But if being a good man
means swallowing all my pride,
I will, yes, I will

I am, I am,
Honey, I am so in love 'wich' you
I am, I am, gonna get you, mine, mine,
if it's the last thing I do

(guitar solo)

I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one who cares
You could fly me to the moon
if I could find you there
All the riches in this world mean nothing
without you here
Whoever, whatever, however, whenever you need me,
I always be here

Men killing their brother(s)
Nobody wants to go down alone
In this age of incertainty
love's worth much more than gold
I'd sleep outside your window
if that would make you see
that I'm the only one for you
and you're the only one for me

I am, I am
Baby, I am so in love 'wich' you
I am, I am
I am, gonna get you, baby,
if it's the last thing, last thing
I am, I am,
baby, baby, I am so, so in love 'wich' you
I am, I am, hoo

Breakin' Me
(tabs & chords)

Everyday
I see your face, I wish that I'd stayed
Don't even know what made me run away,
it's just the way
I play the game

Emotional is not a word I'd use to explain myself
But now you got me down upon my knees,
oh, baby, please,
just take me back

I don't want to be in love,
but you're makin' me
Let me up, I had enough
Girl, you're breakin' me

Now, here I am,
half a man
standing alone
Just feeling like I lost my only chance
at happiness when I let you go

I don't want to be alone
thinkin' 'bout you, girl
I've got nothin' left to hold
in my lonely world

(acoustic guitar solo)

The first time my heart was ever touched
was the day I  lost your love
I can feel it in my flesh,
my flesh and blood,
Well, my soul can only take it so much

So, there it is,
why can't you give us one more try
You and I could find
a way to live
if you let me in just one more time

I know you lost your faith in me,
but I still believe
Can I make you understand,
can I make you see
I am desperate for your love,
and it's breakin' me
Honey, it's breakin' me, it's breakin' me

Wander This World
(tabs)

The tar in the street
starts to melt from the heat
And the sweat's runnin' down from my hair
I walked twenty miles and I'm dragging my feet
I'll walk twenty more, I don't care

I'll wander this world, wander this world,
wander this world, wander this world all alone

I'm like a ghost, some people can see,
others just drive by and stare
A shadow that drifts on the side of the road,
and it's like I'm not even there

And I'll wander this world, wander this world,
said I'll wander this world, wander this world all alone

Well, I never been part of this game
The life that I live is my own
All that I know is that I was born
to wander this world all alone, all alone, yeah

(guitar solo)

Some people are born with their lives all laid out,
and all their success is assured
Some people work hard all their lives for nothin',
they take it and don't say a word,
don't say a word

Sometimes it's like I don't even exist,
even God has lost track of my soul
So, why else would he leave out here like this
to wander this world all alone

And I'll wander this world, I'll wander this world,
wander this world, wander this world all alone
And I'll wander this world, wander this world,
wander this world, wander this world,
all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, hmm

Walking Away
(chords)

(acoustic guitar solo)

Cry,
but don't cry for me
I can't take it no more
That's the way it must be

You can't lie
your way back in,
back into my heart,
ooh, won't let it be broken again

Well, I took a tumble,
started to stumble,
that's when I fell
into a love
I thought was sent from above,
I was under your spell

All the thing that mattered
were broken and shattered,
one by one
I was so said,
now I'm just glad
that it's over and done

There's just one thing
I got to say
I truly love you,
but now I'm walking way, yeah
Yeah, I truly love you,
no one above you,
but now I'm walking away

(guitar solo)

Yeah, baby
And I took a tumble,
started to stumble, that's when I fell, yeah
into a love
I thought was sent from above,
I was under your spell

All the things that mattered
were broken and shattered,
one by one
I was so sad,
now I'm just glad
that it's over and done

Yeah, there's just one thing, just one thing
I got to say, ooh
I truly love you,
but now  I'm walking away
Yeah, I truly love you,
no one above you,
now I'm walking away
Yeah, I'm walking away

The Levee
(tabs & chords)

I've been down to Memphis
I couldn't find me no peace
My soul is feeling restless,
like I need some relief

Heading for the Delta,
see what I can find
I know the river holds the answers
to the questions in my mind, ah oh

Take me down
to the levee where the women sing
Lay me down
like an angel with a broken wing
Take me down
to the levee where the river flows
Throw my blues off the river and let them go, ah, ha

I've been down in Natchez,
down to Baton Rouge
You see, the river keep(s) on callin' me,
no matter what I do, matter what I do

Take me down
to the levee where the women sing
Lay me down
like an angel with a broken wing
Take me down
to the levee where the river flows
Gonna throw my blues off the river and let them go

(guitar solo)

Drivin' through the darkness,
Highway 61
Heading for the crossroads
like the one before me done

Take me down
to the levee where the women sing
Lay me down
like an angel with a broken wing
Take me down
to the levee where the river flows
Gonna throw my blues off the river and let them go
I'm gonna let them go, yeah

Angel Of Mercy
(chords)

Angel of mercy, you don't need no golden wing
Angel of mercy, you don't need no golden wing
The way you came to my rescue
Heaven must be watchin' over me

Now, when the shadow's fallin'
and the day turns into night,
I hear my angel callin'
I can't wait to see the light

Angel of mercy, yeah, you don't need no golden wing
The way you came to my rescue
Heaven must be watchin' over me

Now, sometimes I feel
a fever comin' over me,
I just hold my angel's hand and she puts me
right back on my feet

Angel of mercy, don't need no golden wing, baby
The way you came to my rescue
Heaven must be watchin' over me, ooh !

(guitar solo)

Stay with me, baby
Coming down from the sky,
just like an angel
and, and take me to paradise

Angel of mercy, don't need no golden wing
The way you came to my rescue
And heaven must be watchin' over me, ha !

Angel of mercy, ah !
Angel of mercy
Angel of mercy
Angel of mercy, ah !
Angel of mercy, coming down from the sky,
fly down from the sky, angel of mercy, ooh, hoo
Hold my hand, baby,
make me feel alright just the way I am

Right Back
(tabs & chords)

Well, you can't keep talkin' 'bout it,
till you're stone cold blue in the face
But, there ain't nothing, darling,
that true love can't replace

Stay alright, right back,
tryin' to pretend
Stay alright, right back,
doin' the same old 'thang' again

You're money hungry and you're
heart is full of greed
Tellin' everybody you get
everything you need

Now, you're right, right back
Say, you're right, right back,
doin' the same old 'thang' again

(guitar solo)
Ooh !

But, for me it's the same old movie,
same old movie, it's just a different scene
Never mean what you say,
you never say nothin' that you mean

But now you're right, right back,
trying to pretend
Yeah, you're right, right back,
doin' the same old 'thang' again

You're money hungry and you're
heart is full of greed
Tellin' everybody you get
everything you need

And now you're right, right back
And you're right back, right back,
doin' the same old 'thang' again
Right

(guitar solo)

Right back, right, right back
Honey, I'm right back,
yeah, I'm right, right back
Right back, right back, right back

Leaving To Stay
(tabs)

I can't believe what I've seen
I been forsaken, I been deceived
Cast aside and left behind
Till, I can't believe my own eyes

I been waiting for the glory
of the coming of the Lord
I heard a lot of stories,
but my prayers have been ignored
I been waiting in the wings
between the ocean and the shore,
but this time I'm leaving to stay,
falling away

I seen the red sky upin the morning
I seen the low tide slipping away
I do believe I'll take the warning
taking my leave to stay

I been waiting for the glory
of the coming of the Lord
I heard a lot of stories,
but my prayers have been ignored
I been waiting in the wings
between the ocean and the shore,
but this time I'm leaving to stay,
I'm falling away, falling away

(acoustic guitar solo)

Like an angel afraid to fly
Like the last lonely rose left hanging on the vine

I been waiting for the glory
of the coming of the Lord
I heard a lot of stories,
but my prayers have been ignored
I been waiting in the wings
between the ocean and the shore,
but this time I'm leaving to stay

I been waiting for the glory
of the coming of the Lord
I heard a lot of stories,
but my prayers have been ignored
I been waiting in the wings
between the ocean and the shore,
but this time I'm leaving to stay
Falling away, ah, ha, falling away, oh, yeah

Before You Hit The Ground
(tabs & chords)

I've seen every one of the faces you wear,
low, high and everything in between
Your eyes are fixed on the prize like a dead man's stare
Tick, tock, my hands on the clock don't care

And the buzz is good
You're feelin' fine
One of these days
you'll be out of time
And I ain't gonna look for you
in the lost and found, baby
So, you better look up or you're gonna be gone
before you hit the ground

Yeah, you're keep dippin' in till the well run dry
Hope you don't get thirsty later
Well, I know talkin' to you's just a waste of my time
So, I'm gonna stop tellin' you how to live your life

And the buzz is good
You're feelin' fine
One of these days
you'll be out of time
I ain't gonna look for you
in the lost and found, no, no
So, you better look up or you're gonna be gone
before you hit the ground
Baby, ah, before you hit the ground

(guitar solo)

One more time to score,well, you'd better make it fast
When you lose your mind you got no mind left to lose
Uh, go ahead, and open the door to your last chance
When you get where you're goin' you won't be comin' back

So, you better look up or you're gonna be gone
before you hit the ground
You gotta hit the ground
And then you feel too good,
when you hit the ground
Hit the ground, yeah, yeah
Baby, gonna hit the ground

Cherry Red Wine
(chords)

Watching you, baby, yeah
Watching you all the time
Watching you, baby
Watching you all the time, yeah
Watching you destroy yourself, now woman
But all you do is sit around drinking wine

You worry me, woman
Sitting here wondering what can I do
You worry me, darling
Sitting here, what can I do, ah
I can't stand to sit here and do nothing,
watching that wine destroy you, yeah, destroy you

(guitar solo)

I'm taking you to the doctor, baby
Maybe the doctor knows
what's going wrong in your head, ah, ha

I'm taking you to the doctor, woman
Maybe the doctor knows
what's going wrong in your head, yeah, that's right

If you keep on drinking that bad wine, woman,
even the grass on your grave will be cherry red
