When She's Gone

[Intro]
Woah, woah, woah...
[Verse 1]
There's always somebody else
It's not uncommon
I see how she must have felt
As the other woman
When you call me in the night
'Cos there's nowhere left to go
Woah, oh, oh, oh
"I'm always here to help
Just not when the blinds are open."
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Come on, huh-huh, come on, huh-huh!
[Chorus]
We could walk together
Let a good thing go to waste
We could dig forever
The past is such a big, big place
She can say it's over
But she'll miss me when she's gone
She's gone
She's gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Come on, huh-huh, come on, huh-huh!
[Verse 2]
She's planning her great escape
Once more without feeling
You're making the same mistake;
Switched on and waiting
For a man who isn't yours
He's the sweetest little whore
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Too little, too much, too late;
It's all gotta be worth something
[Chorus]
We could walk together
Let a good thing go to waste
We could dig forever
The past is such a big, big place
She can say it's over
But she'll miss me when she's gone
She's gone
She's gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, oh, woah
Come on, huh-huh, come on, huh-huh!
[Intro]
Woah, woah, woah...
[Chorus]
We could walk together
Let a good thing go to waste
We could dig forever
The past is such a big, big place
She can say it's over
But she'll miss me when she's gone
She's gone
She's gone
[Outro]
Woah, woah, woah...
Woah, woah, woah...

Moral of the Story
03:50
|
|||
|
[Intro]
Yeah!
Yeah!
[Verse 1]
My confidence is a front, like everyone's
Why cry over those who won't over you?
If you're going to leave without a reason
Then just don't come crawling with an excuse
[Chorus]
The moral of the story, then?
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
We speak only in words unsaid
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, woah, oh
Woah, wah-ah-oh
[Verse 2]
Stop the clock but it keeps on movin'
Honey, don't look back at what's in front of you
When the ground beneath you won't stop shakin'
Make sure there are hands all over you
[Chorus]
The moral of the story, then?
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
We speak only in words unsaid
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
[Bridge}
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
[Chorus]
The moral of the story, then?
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
We speak only in words unsaid
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
[Last Chorus]
Love is never easy, man
Oh, don't worry now, the queen is dead
It's better when it's in your head
Oh, what's the moral of the story, then?
[Breakdown}
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
[Outro]
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!

Bonfire of Vanities
03:11
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
I come here
To pour my guts to strangers
Who pour my drinks
It's safer; their job is to pretend
The romance
We both knew would not last
But wanted to believe in
For me, there's still the dream
[Chorus 1]
I wasn't what she wanted
Now it's plain to see
She has got a daughter
That don't belong to me
[Verse 2]
People, they all change
But the photos stay the same
Don't burn them; they'll always be true
But throw our fantasies in a bonfire of vanities
The truth hurts less than losing you
[Chorus 1]
I wasn't what she wanted
Now it's plain to see
She has got a daughter
That don't belong to me
[Bridge]
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus 1]
I wasn't what she wanted
Now it's plain to see
She has got a daughter
That don't belong to me
[Chorus 2]
I'll finish what she started
And drown it in the sea
If home is where the heart is
Why'd she have to leave?
[Outro]
She don't belong
She don't belong to me

Shattered Hearts

|
[Verse 1]
Once more, you see "The One,"
Break like the setting sun
It's not new but you wanted it to, to be
She's grabbed another branch
But still has not let go of the one she holds
Like we're vines and rope
[Chorus]
Never, never, never, never again
(woah, woah, woah)
Don't say, "Never, never, never, never" again
(woah, woah, woah)
[Verse 2]
I watched my beloved one
Break like a hit and run
If it's time to go, at least let me know -- you know?!?
The punches you threw at me
Sometimes they'd break my face
But to this day, they hit right here
[Chorus]
Never, never, never, never again
(woah, woah, woah)
Don't say, "Never, never, never, never" again
(woah, woah, woah)
[Tag]
'Cos sometimes these meanings
Take the shape of fleeting lovers
Strangle a heart and watch it beat again
(woah, woah, woah)
[Bridge]
So the place we start is the place we end
Nothing build on lies could become much else
You can push, you can shove, but eventually
They'll rise and say:
"Everyone, everything I have come to know
They are gone if you leave
But I've lost before
I am worth much more than the leftovers you've left me with."
[Chorus]
Never, never, never, never again
(woah, woah, woah)
Don't say, "Never, never, never, never" again
(woah, woah, woah)
[Tag]
'Cos sometimes these meanings
Take the shape of fleeting lovers
Strangle a heart and watch it beat again
(woah, woah, woah)
[Ad/lib]
Our shattered hearts will learn to beat again
Our, our, our shattered hearts will learn to beat again
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah
[Outro]
You can hide from me
But you won't escape what you're running from:
It's you
La, la, la, la, la
