1. THUNDER AND LIGHTNING

I want you, I think I'm on fire
Well believe it or not, it's true, my love is not a liar
It's gonna take some time, yeah a whole lotta time
But if I have to wait another day, I'm gonna lose my mind
'Cause all I wanna do is make sweet love to you, oh yeah

Thunder, lightning - ooh, every time we touch
Thunder, lightning - I need it so much

I see smoke over the horizon
You got me all fired up inside, and my temperature's risin'
I think I hear some noise, yeah a whole lotta noise
Well that's my heart going crash bang boom, I can't keep it quiet
And I don't like tempting fate, but before it gets too late

Thunder, lightning - ooh every time we touch
Thunder, lightning - oh girl, I want it so much
Thunder, lightning - girl, you got that look in your eyes
Thunder, lightning - it's gonna happen tonight
Make it happen all night

Caught in a hot emotion, I've got a fire to fight
But I never had a notion to give in tonight

'Cause all I wanna do is make sweet love to you, that's why I gotta cry
Thunder, lightning - ooh every time we touch
Thunder, lightning - no girl, well I want you so much
Thunder, lightning - yeah, you got the look in your eyes
Thunder, lightning - it's gonna happen tonight
Thunder, lightning... (repeats out)


2. CHAINED

I wait outside in the middle of the night
I watch your window 'til the morning light
A poor boy dreams about a rich girl's touch
I know I should run away, but I need you so much

Tell me, how long, how long will it be, will it be
You want me to hold on, just hold on, and you'll see
That in the middle of the night, I'll be waiting

Chained, chained - I've been chained to your rhythm
Locked up in the heat of desire, but it feels so right
Chained, chained - you're the reason for living
You got to help me, I'm on fire

You say you want a rich man, you say I'm not your kind
But when you get the need babe, you call me every time
I'm not gonna take it, it's a living hell
I don't know if it's day or night, I'm just caught in your spell
Tell me how long, baby how long will it be, will it be

You want me to hold on, just hold on, and you'll see
That in the middle of the night, I'll be waiting

Chained, chained - I've been chained to your rhythm
Locked up in the heat of desire, but it feels so right
Chained, chained - you're the reason for living
You got to help me, I'm on fire
But it feels so strong

Maybe tomorrow, maybe you'll realize
When you play with emotion, you'd better think twice
You'll look around and wonder, but you can't explain
How it happened to you, when you're wrapped up in my chains
Tell me how long, how long will it be, will it be
I tell you to hold on, hold on, and you'll see
That in the middle of the night, yeah in the middle of the night
You'll be screaming

Chained, chained - I've been chained to your rhythm
Locked up in the heat of desire, but it feels so right
Chained, chained - you're the reason for living
You got to help me
I've been chained, chained, oh yeah
Chained to your rhythm, to your rhythm of love
I've been chained, chained, chained to your rhythm of love
(Chained, chained) (repeats out)


3. LAY IT ON THE LINE

When I was just a young boy, I had to work hard 'cause my daddy was gone
My momma said Son, life is never easy
And if you wanna win then you gotta be strong, I gotta be strong
I heard her say "It ain't ever black or white
But when it's time to choose, I know you'll do what's right
You gotta stand up and fight

Give it up - give it up, give it everything you got
Give it all, if you wanna take it to the top
Give it up - give it up, 'cause you know there'll come a time
When you gotta lay it, lay it, lay it, you gotta lay it on the line

Well I was only fifteen, when I heard that rock 'n' roll sound
(Oh what a sound)
I bought a secondhand six-string, and I played it outta that neon town
I still recall those old words from yesterday, I pick up that old guitar
And every time I play, I can still hear her say

Give it up - give it up, give it everything you got
Give it all, if you wanna take it to the top
Give it up - give it up, 'cause you know there'll come a time
When you gotta lay it, lay it, lay it, you gotta lay it on the line

I remember those hard times, I always had to fight just to make it through
Now it's all behind me, but those old words still ring true
Still ring true now
The more it changes, the more it stays the same
And boy, I'm telling you, if you wanna play the game
The lesson's still the same

Give it up - give it up, give it everything you got
Give it all, if you wanna take it to the top
Give it up - give it up, 'cause you know there'll come a time
When you gotta lay it, lay it, lay it, you gotta lay it on the line

Give it up - give it up, give it everything you got
Give it all, if you wanna take it to the top
Give it up - give it up, 'cause you know there'll come a time
When you gotta lay it, lay it, lay it, you gotta lay it on the line


4. STAY

Hey little girl, it's not that bad, I said some things I know I shouldn't have
But they're just the careless words of a jealous man
Hey little girl, can't you see
Thru the tears in your eyes, what you're doin' to me
I won't share your love, oh don't you understand

But you've still got time to change your mind

So won't you stay 'til the end, don't walk away tonight
I won't give you up, I'm gonna stand here and fight
Won't you stay 'til the end, forget about the past
'Cause I know our love will last

Hey little girl, can you still recall
When it was just you and me with our backs to the wall
We could take on the world because our hearts were strong
Hey little girl, you say things have changed
But I say they're just part of love's growing pains
You gotta fight for who you want, fight for who you love, oh yeah

'Cause it's a long way home when you're all alone
So won't you stay 'til the end, don't walk away tonight
I won't give you up, no, I'm gonna stand here and fight
So won't you stay 'til the end, forget about the past
I'll never let you down, I'll always be around baby
I'll never leave you lonely, cryin' for love

Oh you still got time, still got time to change your mind
Don't let it fall, fall apart, baby, search your heart

So won't you stay 'til the end, don't walk away tonight
I won't give you up, I'm gonna stand here and fight
Won't you stay 'til the end, forget about the past
'Cause I know our love will last
And won't you stay 'til the end, I need you here tonight
Oh baby, make it right
Stay...


5. LOST IN PARADISE

Since you've been gone, I spend my days dreamin' 'bout
The way things used to be with you
I carry on, but getting over lovin' you
Is the toughest thing I've ever had to do
'Cause you took me straight to heaven, and I've never been so high

I'm lost in paradise, without your love my heart has paid the price
I won't let go of yesterday, will I ever find my way
I'm lost in paradise

I can't sleep at night, I reach out in the darkness
To hold you close, but you're not there
I try to forget this dream of making love to you
But the memory is more than I can bear
I could find a way to make it, if I knew that you still cared

I'm lost in paradise, without your love my heart has paid the price
I won't let go of yesterday, will I ever find my way
I'm lost in paradise

Someday I'll find you, I'll search through heaven and hell
Until I have you back in my arms again, I'm lost in

I'm lost in paradise, without your love my heart has paid the price
I won't let go of yesterday, will I ever find my way
I'm lost in paradise
Lost in paradise, I'm lost in
(Paradise) (repeats out)


6. SMOULDER

(Instrumental)


7. TIME TO BURN

Looking through the window, could've sworn I heard it call my name
There inside that old pawn shop, I knew my world would never be the same
Wood and wire, painted steel
But in my hands it came alive, you know it felt so real
Paid the man, took it home and played it 'round the clock (yes I did)

Something's coming over me, time to let it roll, let it rock, yeah

It's time to burn, time to burn
It's time to burn, time to burn, time to burn

Played it 'til my fingers bled, when I picked it up, I couldn't put it down
Felt like holding dynamite, it lit my fuse and knocked me to the ground
Flesh and blood, sweat on steel
So alive, I can't describe how it makes me feel
Plug it in, strap it on, let me show 'em what I've got

Something's coming over me, time to let it roll, let it rock, yeah

It's time to burn, time to burn
It's time to burn, time to burn, time to burn

Standing up here on the stage, I never thought I'd end up in this place
Just hit one chord, the lights explode, and I can see it written on each face
Rich or poor, black or white
When I play this old guitar, it makes 'em feel just right
Turn it on, crank it up, gonna shake the whole damn block
Something's coming over me, time to let it roll, let it rock

It's time to burn, time to burn
It's time to burn, time to burn, time to burn
It's time to burn, it's time to burn
It's time to burn, it's time to burn


8. I'LL BE THERE (WHEN IT'S OVER)

I've been waiting, I've been watching every move you make
And when I see that look in your eyes, it's more than I can take
Now I know it's all for him, reminding me what might have been
But I let you walk away, yeah
Heaven knows it ain't been easy, but in my heart I know you need me
Back in your arms again, baby

I'll be there when it's over
After he's gone and your world comes to an end
I'll be there when it's over
You'll never cry again, you'll never cry again

You were helpless, I was heartless, on those times I hurt you
Now I'm the one who feels the pain, 'cause there's no life at all without you
I can't accept the truth
Just knowing that he's touching you is more than I can bear
No one else can really love you like I can, so let me show you
Just how much I care

I'll be there when it's over
After he's gone and your world comes to an end
I'll be there when it's over
You'll never cry again, you'll never cry again

Even though I know it's crazy
I've been holding on and they say time will heal the pain, yeah
Heaven knows it ain't been easy
But somehow I just know you'll need me back in your arms again, baby

I'll be there when it's over
After he's gone and your world comes to an end
I'll be there when it's over
You'll never cry again, you'll never cry again
(I'll be there when it's over) (repeats out)



9. SAVE ME TONIGHT

I've been running for so long 'cause no love could hold me
Desperate dreams and reckless nights always controlled me
Now I'm lost, walls crashing down, got no foundation
But when I looked into your eyes, I saw my salvation, oh yeah
You could set me free, you could rescue me, if you just hold out your hand
I can't let go, please don't say no, if you give up on me, I'll be dyin'
Save me tonight, I don't know how much more I can take it
Baby save me tonight, hold on
Without you girl, I'm not gonna make it, on my own
If my world comes down to the wire, you'll keep it turning
You're the spark to my dying fire, baby, you'll keep it burning forever
If it lasts all night, well that's half the fight, there's a reason to go on
You touched my soul, I've lost all control
If you give up on me, I'll be dyin'
Save me tonight, I don't know how much more I can take it
Baby save me tonight, hold on, without you girl, I'm not gonna make it
I know we can make it, oh

You could set me free, you could rescue me, if you just hold out your hand
I can't let go, please don't say no, if you give up on me, I'll be dyin'
I'll be dyin'

Save me tonight, baby save me tonight, hold on
Without you girl, I'm not gonna make it
Save me tonight, I don't know how much more I can take it
Baby save me tonight, hold on, without you girl, I'm not gonna make it
Ooh save me tonight, oh save me tonight
Won't you save me, save me, save me tonight
Save me tonight...


10. WITHOUT YOU

You know I've been waiting, and I pray that I'll be strong
I don't know if I'll make it, it seems like all my hopes are gone

I watch another day go by, feel my whole life slip away
When I need the strength to survive, I remember you would say

Where would I be without you, lost and alone 'til your love pulled me through
If not for a heart so true, where would I be, I'd be without you

These four walls surround me, it's a price that I must pay
There's fear all around me now, but I'm a million miles away

Locked inside an endless night, you're just a dream away
No I won't give up on the fight, I'll be back with you some day

Where would I be without you, lost and alone 'til your love pulled me through
If not for a heart so true, where would I be, I'd be without you

And I believe I can make it, when I see the hope in your eyes
And I know that you won't let me down, where would I be without you

One day you're here, the next you're gone, there's so much I need to say
But I know that I'll carry on, 'cause you were with me all the way
With me all of the way, hear what I say

Where would I be without you, lost and alone 'til your love pulled me through
If not for a heart so true, where would I be, I'd be without you
Where would I be without you, lost and alone 'til your love pulled me through
If not for a heart so true, where would I be, I'd be without you
(Where would I be without you) I'd be without you
(Where would I be without you) I'd be without you
(Where would I be without you) (repeats out)


11. NOW UNTIL FOREVER

Sometimes love feels like an empty room
It's cold and silent, you got nowhere to go
And sometimes the feeling's over way too soon
'Til you find someone who tells you so
And don't you know, you're my reason for tomorrow

And I need you, now until forever
All my life I've waited for someone like you
Love won't die if we put our hearts together
You and I can make this dream come true
Now until forever
I need you

We thread emotions to be strong enough to withstand all elements of time
When we're together where there's only love
Never felt a heartbeat so close to mine
Don't you know you're my reason for tomorrow

And I need you, now until forever
All my life I've waited for someone like you
Love won't die if we put our hearts together
You and I can make this dream come true
Now until forever
I need you

It's our love, a love that lifts us high enough
We can survive any storm, where no one's ever been before
And tomorrow will be brighter now, even yesterday is new
And all our promises ring true, and everything I have, I give to you

Sometimes love feels like an empty room
But now that all seems oh so long ago

And I need you, now until forever
All my life I've waited for someone like you
Love won't die if we put our hearts together
You and I can make this dream come true
Now until forever
I need you
(repeat to fade)


12. GET USED TO IT

I've been fooled by love, but no one's ever gonna fool me again
'Cause I've learned enough
And if it sounds too good, then it probably is
Sometimes the one you wanted, turns out to be the one you need
But only in my dreams

When it all comes down in pieces on the ground
You better get used to it, used to it
When the hammer falls, a voice inside you calls
Better get used to it, used to it

Well it's hard and fast, and no one ever plays this game to lose
If you gotta ask, you can bet you can't afford the dues
Says she can't live without you
But then she's gone like last week's news, tell me what are you gonna do?

When it all comes down in pieces on the ground
You better get used to it, used to it
When the hammer falls, a voice inside you calls
Better get used to it, used to it

When you get tired of fighting, and you've got nothing left to lose
A ray of light comes shining through, tell me now, what are you gonna do?

When it all comes down in pieces on the ground
You better get used to it, used to it
When the hammer falls, a voice inside you calls
Better get used to it, used to it
When it all comes down in pieces on the ground
You better get used to it, used to it
When the hammer falls, a voice inside you calls
Better get used to it, used to it
You better get used to it
