" Wander This World "
(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

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

All the

I was so
sad,

over and done
Yeah, there's

I'm walking away
Yeah, I
truly love you,
no one
above you,

walking away
Yeah, I'm
walking away

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

Angel of
mercy, you don't need no golden wing
Angel of

The way

The way

Cast aside

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,

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
