LYRICS You wanna give me some thunder, you wanna see if I bleed Lover when you’re pulling me under, it’s the last thing that I need All I really wanted, was the truth and your love But the storm is over, and I’ve given enough Sing it out like it’s never been sung, say it loud, tell me when it begun I don’t know where this all came from, how can I help, when I couldn’t tell? Scream it out like it’s never been done, tell me now, tell me when it begun I don’t know where this all came from, how can I help, when I couldn’t tell? Back then, was I half the man, when your tough love put the blame in my hands? Laying alone, as it faded to grey, I could hear your thunder from a mile away Back then, I was twice the man, yet another thing you’ll never understand I was laying alone, I was achin’ in pain, baby I could hear your thunder from a mile away The night is over, The night is over, Tonight, it’s over You wanna give me some thunder, you wanna see if I bleed Lover when you’re pulling me under, it’s the last thing that I need All I really wanted, was the truth and your love But the storm is over, and I’ve given enough

Punky 04:33
A - F#m7 - C#min7 - E - A A troubled man and his death wish, turns away from one last kiss Never quite sure when to stop, a glass of wine waiting to drop The broken road beneath his feet, do you know the man mystique? The world is just a writers toy, and a choking hazard for this boy Punky’s love is for another one, but I can never get enough A - F#min7 - B7 - Bm7 Why couldn’t you just leave it alone instead of finding the best woman that you’ve ever known Honesty will cut you down But nothing’s gonna hurt you baby, til you touch the ground so come on, so come on Morning on this shattered globe, dressed but nowhere left to go Frightening how real it gets, with someone that you’ve barely met Introductions hardly had, when you want something that bad Nothing else has come this close, to those paws around your throat Why couldn’t you just leave it alone instead of finding the best woman that you’ve ever known Honesty will cut you down But nothing’s gonna hurt you baby, til you touch the ground so come on, so come on Forbidden fruit on an apple tree, tastes of grapes and sweet cherries Only now I’ve learned the truth, everything you’ve done comes back to you Sometimes I can fake the game, but a winner shouldn’t feel ashamed To be victorious again, in falling for another friend Maybe someone will set me straight, tell me that I’m out too late But this sunrise is really great, and this time ‘round might be my fate Why couldn’t you just leave it alone instead of finding the best woman that you’ve ever known Honesty will cut you down But nothing’s gonna hurt you baby, til you touch the ground so come on, so come on

Elsie 05:29
Am - E Elsie, maybe not tonight Everything’s a little much, and I’m trying to do it right Let’s go outside, and just talk A/B - E - Am - E That’s what I thought, you look lovely in this light Elsie, remember that old grand The one that looked like firewood, and your mother couldn’t stand Found one today, it looked the same But it didn’t have the place where we carved our names Faded jeans on grey seats, in that the little van you had Painted that thing red yourself and it didn’t look half bad I think i left my hat in there, did you take a look for that? Emaj7 - F#m7 - G#m7 - F#m7 x2 So it ends, watch it go Though you love, you’ll never know G#m7 - F#m7 x2 Elsie don’t go, promise you won’t Am - E x3 - A/B - E Who knew when these days would come,and cover us in change Maybe if we just loved more things would stay the same Elsie, that movie that we saw The one where they get what they need, and don’t what they want You be my little actress on the screen You know I’ll miss you and that sweet perfume you’ve had since 17 So it ends, watch it go What you love, fade like smoke Elsie don’t go, promise you won’t Elsie don’t go, promise you won’t

Little Town 04:31
C - Dm - Am - G/B Every winters getting worse This one’s no better than our first G/A - F - G I don’t remember how your voice sounds You said that you were gonna leave this place And I believe that you will someday Lights are growing dark, on this little town C - E - F - G Oh, this little town Oh, this little town Oh, never made it out Oh, of this little town Drops of sadness fall from your eyes Roll down the window as I’m driving by Looking in the mirror, and there’s nothing behind, oh Oh, this little town Oh, this little town Oh, never made it out Oh, of this little town Seems like a dream that went too long, Or maybe just a story that I heard I’d like to write it into a song If I could only remember the words Oh, this little town Oh, this little town Oh, never made it out Oh, of this little town
