I've been holding on so long. I've been sleeping all alone. Lord, I miss you. I've been hanging on the phone. I've been sleeping all alone. I want to kiss you. Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. Hoo, hoo, hoo. I've been haunted in my sleep. You've been staring in my dreams. Lord, I miss you. I've been waiting in the hall. Been waiting on your call. When the phone rings. It's just some friends of mine that say, hey, what's the matter man? We're gonna come around at twelve. With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dying to meet you.

You've been blotting out my mind, fooling on my time. No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah. Lord, I miss you child. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah. Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah.

Pixies CAs soon as I get my head 'round you

I come around catching sparks of you

I get a little 'lectric charge from you

A second hand living it just won't do

F GAnd the way I feel to night C FI could die and I wouldn't mind GAnd there's something going on in side

C Makes you wanna feel

Makes you wanna try F G Makes you blow the stars from the sky

CAnd I can't stand up I can't cool down F G C F GI can't get my head off the ground

C As soon as I get my head 'round you

I come around catching sparks of you

And all I ever got from you

Is all I ever took from you

F GAnd the world could die in pain C F

Intro: Instrumental Verse G (2) C (2) If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine, C (3) G and my tunes were played on the harp unstrung, G (2) C (2) would you hear my voice come through the music, G D C G would you hold it near as it were your own? G (2) C (2) It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken, C (3) G perhaps they're better left unsung. G (2) C (2) I don't know, don't really care, G D C G (2) let there be songs to fill the air. Chorus: Am (2) D (2) Ripple in still water, G C when there is no pebble tossed, A7 D nor wind to blow. G (2) C (2) Reach out your hand if your cup be empty, C (3) G if your cup is full may it be again. G (2) C (2) Let it be known there is a fountain, G D C G that was not made by the hands of men.

G (2) C (2) There is a road, no simple highway, C (3) G Between the dawn and the dark of night, G (2) C (2) and if you go no one may follow, G D C G (2) that path is for your steps alone. Chorus G (2) C (2) You who choose to lead must follow, C (3) G but if you fall you fall alone. G (2) C (2) If you should stand then who's to guide you? G D C G If I knew the way I would take you home. Instrumental Verse w/ la-da-da's Hold final G

ABBBBBBBB From ground shaking birth ABBBBBBBB left trembling the Earth ABBBBBBBB E riff (7th fret) made our way to the night ABBBBBBBB Through pelting of stone ABBBBBBBB scarred naked alone ABBBBBBBB E-riff (open string) bravely held up the fight DDDDDDDDEEEEEEEE (7th fret) Always show the same face to the world DDDDDDDDEEEEEEEE (7th fret) Slowly forever drifting away we unfurl DDDDDDDDEEEEEEEE (7th fret) Keep the dark side hidden from view DDDDDDDD C# C Crescent smile each month shines anew

Spinning through time in orbit we climb Shining to give back the light Owning our fault Days slowly halt Friction we cause has a price Always show the same face to the world Slowly forever drifting away we unfurl Keep the dark side hidden from view Crescent smile each month shines anew Beasts are howling below Wherever we go Their bark is louder than bite How long until thus claiming pieces of us the man taking without any right Always show the same face to the world Slowly forever drifting away we unfurl Keep the dark side hidden from view Crescent smile each month shines anew
