Intro G | F | G | G | Bb | C | G

Mother mother tell your children that their time has just begun

I have suffered for my anger, there are wars that can't be won

Father father please believe me I am laying down my guns

I am broken like an arrow forgive me forgive your wayward son

(Everybody needs somebody to love) mother mother (Everybody needs somebody to hate) please believe me

Everybody's bitching 'cause they can't get enough and it's hard to hold on when there's no one to lean on

Faith! You know you're gonna live thru the rain Lord you got to keep the faith

Faith! Don't let your love turn to hate right now we got to keep the faith

Keep the faith, keep the faith Lord we got to keep the faith

Tell me baby when I hurt you do you keep it all inside

Do you tell me all's forgiven and just hide behind your pride

(Everybody needs somebody to love) mother mother (Everybody needs somebody to hate) please believe me

Everybody's bleeding 'cause the times are tough and it's hard to be strong when there's no one to dream on

Faith! You know you're gonna live thru the rain Lord you got to keep the faith

Faith! You know it's not to late right now we got to keep the faith

Faith! Don't let your love turn to hate Lord we got to keep the faith

Keep the faith, keep the faith Lord we got to keep the faith

Walking in the footsteps of society's lies I don't like what I see no more, sometimes I wish that I was blind

Sometimes I wait forever to stand out in the rain so no one sees me cryin' trying to wash away the pain

Mother father there's things I've done I can't erase every night we fall from grace

It's hard with the world in your face, trying to hold on, trying to hold on.

Faith! You know you're gonna live thru the rain Lord you got to keep the faith

Faith! Don't let your love turn to hate right now we got to keep the faith

Keep the faith, Keep the faith try to hold on, trying to hold on

Faith! Keep the faith, Keep the faith try to hold on, trying to hold on

Hey Babe, it's me parked outside your house,

I know that he's asleep, so listen to me now,

Darlin', I'm tired of living just in your dreams, I'm getting out,

You know we both sold our souls,

We're just growing old in this sleepy dead-end town,

Destination Anywhere,

Name the place and I'll be there,

Pack a bag and we're outta here - let's run

When these wheels spin, they can all our dust,

As far as I'm concerned, this whole town lost its nuts,

We won't be here when they put us down,

It's our big chance and I'm calling you now,

Intro E A

This romeo is bleeding

but you can't see his blood

it's nothing but some feelings

that this old dog kicked up

it's been raining since you left me

now I'm drowning in the flood

you see I've always been a fighter

but without you I give up

now I can't sing a love song

like the way it's meant to be

well, I guess I'm not that good anymore

but baby, that's just me

yeah, I will love you baby - Al--ways

and I'll be there forever and a day -Al--ways

I'll be there till the stars don't shine till the heavens burst &

the words don't rhyme and I know when I die, you'll be on my mind

and I'll love you - Al---ways

now you're pictures that you left behind

are just memories of a different life

some that made us laugh, some that made us cry

one that made you have to say goodbye

what I'd give to run my fingers through

your hair

to touch your lips, to hold you near

when you say your prayers

try to understand

I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

when he holds you close, when he pulls you near

when he says the words you've been

needing to hear

I'll wish I was him `cause those words are mine

to say to you till the end of time

if you told me to cry for you

I could

if you told me to die for you

I would

take a look at my face

there's no price I won't pay

to say these words to you

in these loaded dice

but baby if you give me just one more try

we can pack up our old dreams

and our old lives

we'll find a place where the sun still shines

yeah, I will love you baby - Al--ways

and I'll be there forever and a day - Alw-ays

I'll be there till the stars don't shine till the heavens burst and

the words don't rhyme and I know when I die, you'll be on my mind

and I'll love you - Al---ways

[Dm]I wake up in the morning, and I [C]raise my weary head

I've got an [G]old coat for a pillow, and the [Dm]earth was last [Dm7]night's [Dm]bed

I [F]don't know where I'm going, only [C]God knows where I've been

I'm a [G]devil on the run, a six gun lover, a [Dm]candle in the wind.

When you're brought into this world, they say you're born in sin

well at least they gave me something, I didn't have to steal or have to win.

Well they tell me that I'm wanted, yeah, I'm a wanted man,

I'm a colt in your stable I'm what Cain was to Abel, mister, catch me if you can.

I'm going [G]down in a blaze of [D]glory

take me [G]now but know the [D]truth

I'm going [G]out in a blaze of [D]glory

Lord I [C]never drew first but I drew first blood

I'm [G]no one's son call me young [Dm]gun.

You ask about my conscience, and I offer you my soul

you ask if I'll grow to be a wise man, well I ask if I'll grow old

you ask me if I've known love, and what it's like to sing songs in the rain

well, I've seen love come and I've seen it shot down I've seen it die in vain.

Shot down in a blaze of glory

take me now but know the truth

I'm going out in a blaze of glory

Lord I never drew first

but I drew first blood

I'm no one's son call me young gun.

Each night I go to bed, I pray the Lord my soul to keep

no I ain't looking for forgiveness, but before I'm six foot deep

Lord, I got to ask a favor, and I hope you'll understand

'cos I've lived life to the fullest, let this boy die like a man

staring down a bullet, let me make my final stand.

Shot down in a blaze of glory

take me now but know the truth

I'm going out in a blaze of glory

Lord I never drew first

but I drew first blood

and I'm no one's son call me young gun,

I'm a young gun.
