Verse:
Oh here you are, there's nothing left to say
B5-A5-G5 A5
You're not supposed to be that way
Did they push you out? did they throw you away?
Bridge:
B5-A5
G5 A5
Touch me now and I don't care
G5 A5
When you take me I'm not there
G5 A5
Almost human, but I'll never be the same
Chorus:
G5/A5-A5-A5 D5-D5-D5-C#5-B5-A5-A5
Long way down,
G5 A5
I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down, I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own
(verse)
I never put you down, I never pushed you away
You're not supposed to be that way
And anything you want, there's nothing I could say
(bridge)
Is there anything to feel?
Is it pain that makes you real?
Cut me off before it kills me
(chorus)
Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down, I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own
(verse)
I never put you down, I never pushed you away
(bridge)
Take another piece of me
Give my mind a new disease
And the black and white world never fades to gray
(chorus)
Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own
Long way down, I don't want to live in here alone
Long way down, I don't think I'll make it on my own

Look at all the washed out Hippie dreams
(Riff 1)
And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while
(Verse)
The tabloid generation's lost
Choking on it's fear
Used to be that's all we had to fear
And conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
There's knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street.
A visionary coward says that anger can be power
As long as there's a victim on TV
(Riff 1)
And it's fallin' all around us
Is this some kind of joke they're trying to pull on us?
Fallin' all around us
I'll turn my head off for a while
And my dirty dreams all come alive on my TV

When I was three feet tall
I loved 'em all
And lived life for myself
Fallin' down for laughs
Your photograph
Some puppets made of felt

Watching life in Oz Thanksgiving eve on Grandma's old TV
Dancing roundabout I'd twist and shout for everyone to see

Impersonality
It's leanin' hard on me

Momma's in a shop
Watching little sister by myself
Robbed a wishing pond
In a fleeting bond
Vowed to share the wealth

Scooping up the coins

A warning shot from some authority
Doesn't matter now but I'll shout out loud for everyone to see

And I'm glad you're doing fine
Think of all the time lost
Was it really lost at all?
Now I'm so proud of ya

I'd love to tell you all I've seen

Listen hard to your realities

Lyrics:
(Verse)
And even though the moment passed me by,
I still can't turn away.
I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose,
Tossed along the way.
Letters that you never meant to send,
Lost and thrown away.
(chorus)
Now we're grown up orphans, that never knew their names.
We don't belong to no one, that's a shame.
You could hide beside me, maybe for a while.
And I won't tell no one your name, no I won't tell 'em your name.
(verse)
Scars are souveneers you never lose,
The past is never far.
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
Don't it make you sad to know that life,
Is more than who we are.
(chorus)
You grew up way too fast, and now there's nothing to believe.
And re-runs all become our history.
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio.
And I won't tell no one your name, no I won't tell 'em your name.
(Verse)
I think about you all the time
but I don't need the same.
If it's lonely where you are come back down,
and I won't tell no one your name.

Chorus: Intro
(intro)
(verse)
Could you talk to me
Honestly
Cuz I never heard a word you said now
And I ain't just being mean
(bridge)
Cuz all we are is what we're told
And most of that's been lies
It's like a made for TV movie
And I just blew my lines
(chorus)
Someday you never made it
and maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
It ain't that unusual
(verse)
Now I feel unknown
And it's safe that way
Are you too bored to care or too dumb to be scared
What's that supposed to mean
(bridge)
I'm burnt out on some empty reasons
And other wastes of time
Something that I wish I'd said
But I don't think it rhymed
(chorus)
Someday you never made it
and maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
It ain't that unusual
(verse)
See I'd love to be you
Least then I'd see you
Sorry I put them words in your mouth
but you wouldn't talk to me
(Solo over verse chords in traditional Johnny Rzeznik style)
(bridge 2 -- F#5-G#5-E5)
Everything I want I haven't got
Sick of everything I'm not
Put my heavy coat on for a while
It's freezing in the corner of my mind
(chorus)
Someday you never made it
and maybe you never will
Hey, you never made it
Now ain't that unusual

Lyrics:
(Verse)
I'm a fortunate son, of a fortunate son,
Living large on the wrong side of town.
Too many friends and the fun never ends,
Drinkin' and hangin' around.
I wanna' own the world, I wanna' swallow it whole.
At least I could kick it all down.
I wanna' kick it all down.
(chorus)
Eyes wide open, I can't see.
Eyes wide open, what you mean.
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be.
(berse)
I don't take the bus, and I never walked too far,
The furthest I got was my own backyard.
A fist full of cash that somebody else earned,
They sent me some more when it all got burned.
I wanna' take control, I wanna' make it all mine.
At least I could kick it all down.
I wanna' kick it all down.
(chorus)
Eyes wide open, I can't see.
Eyes wide open, what you mean.
Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be

(Riff 1)
Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know
I drag her around wherever I go
This little woman drives me insane
She's tied to my ankle with a ball and chain
(Riff 1)
For sixteen years she's been hangin' around
Try'n' to bury me in a hole in the ground
Well I think it's time that I even the score
There's only room for one in this cage of yours
(Riff 1)
Don't save me when I startin' to drown
Don't use me when you don't want me around
Just be my slave girl 'cause that's all I need
So take a little step back to the stone age with me. Go!
(solo 1)
(Riff 1)
Well I hear a strange noise as I lie in my bed
I feel a lotta water drippin' on my head
I look around tried to see through my hair
You left me alone, but do you think I care?
(Riff 1)
'Cause you moved me when I was takin' my time
You abused me when I'm outta line
You tried to warn me of the danger sign
So watch out! Go!
(solo 2)
(Riff 1)
Well, you got me in the bondage of another age
You drive me to distraction in a primitive way
I can't control my instincts when I hear her say
"Just come around and see me if you lose your way"
(Riff 1)
So join my chain gang play along with me
I'll be your caveman, it's basic as can be
I'm not insane, man, I'm just outta my dream
End on E5
