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

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

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

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

Don't take much lookin' back to know I faked that heart attack then

And nothin's different now but nothin' seems the same and it's alright

All that showbiz talk, oh we all had a laugh about it

I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you all

So long

Oh so long, oh so long

But I didn't wanna tell you all so long

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
