My number's up, bridges all burned Oh won't you let me twist your fate It's getting kinda late but I don't wanna wait no more Oh may I have this dance of days Locked in your embrace Passed your test of faith Another time another place Another line upon your face Another in your way Down crooked stairs, and sideways glances Comes the king of second chances Now throw him in the flame Whatever keeps you warm at night (Whatever keeps you warm at night) Whatever keeps you warm inside Your bridges are burning down They're all coming down It's all coming round You're burning them down It's all coming round They're all coming down Your bridges are burning now Oh let me put you in your place I love it when you say Giving everything away Tell what's in it for me Tell me now what's in it for me No one's getting this for free So tell me now what's in it for me Whatever keeps you warm at night (Whatever keeps you warm at night) Whatever keeps you warm inside Your bridges are burning down They're all coming down It's all coming round You're burning them down It's all coming round They're all coming down Your bridges are burning down Gather in the ashes Everything thrown away Gather in the ashes Scatter as they blow away Gather in the ashes Everything thrown away Gather in the ashes Scatter as they blow away Your bridges are burning down They're all coming down It's all coming round You're burning them down It's all coming round They're all coming down Gather in the ashes (Your bridges are burning down) Everything thrown away (They're all coming down) Gather in the ashes (It's all coming round) Scatter as they blow away Gather in the ashes (You're burning them down) Everything thrown away (It's all coming round) Gather in the ashes (They're all coming round) Scatter as they blow away Your bridges are burning down 02.

On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you Choke! On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now Give me some rope I'm coming out of my head, into the clear When you go I come loose These premonitions got me crying up a storm Leave your condition, this position does no harm Choke! On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you Choke! On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now Give me some rope I'm coming out of my head, into the clear When you go I come loose Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now Give me some hope I'm coming through, I'm counting on you Give me some rope I'm coming out of my head, into the clear When you go I come...

BACK & FORTH Once upon a time I was somebody else In another life I saw myself Way back then, back when I was new Somehere down the line I started to slip Years gone by, biting my lip All the while, all this time I knew Now you're on your own, one for the pages Over the hill and through the ages Does my heaven burn like hell on you? Out beneath the cracks and coming in waves Rolling like an earthquake under the pavement Heavy now, tell me Mr. True You got a lot of nerve Now show a little backbone why don't you I'm looking for some back and forth with you Are you feeling the same as I do? Now and, now and then I'm looking for some back and forth with you Are you feeling the same as I do? Down and out Holding my breath I waited and waited How'd this simple life get so complicated? Shoes to fill, secrets to spill down you Deer in the headlight, spoke in the wheel You want pretend, I need for real I'm taking it back, all my IOU's You got a lot of nerve Now show a little backbone why don't you I'm looking for some back and forth with you Are you feeling the same as I do? Now and, now and then I'm looking for some back and forth with you Are you feeling the same as I do? Down and out (guitar solo) You got a lot of nerve Now I'll show a little backbone why don't you I'm looking for some back and forth with you Are you feeling the same as I do? Now and, now and then I'm looking for some back and forth with you Are you feeling the same as I do? Now and, now and then I'm looking for some back and forth with you Are you feeling the same as I do? Down and out 08. MATTER OF TIME Let's change the subject to someone else You know lately I've been subject to change Normally I reel in the strange Hangovers, I'm older You're one to talk the heart is a clock Just like a bomb it keeps on ticking away Counting down to detonate You will need An army To summon me It doesn't matter much to me If it doesn't matter much to you (ooh) It doesn't matter much to me If it doesn't matter much to you It's just a matter of time before, before It's just a matter of time before, before And though I hate to rewind before, before It's just a matter of time My past is getting us nowhere fast I was never one for taking things slow Nowhere seems like somewhere to go Come over and over Doing my time for line after line When will I learn this sing these crimes to myself? Prisoners to share a cell with I'm holding Still holding Holding it well It doesn't matter much to me If it doesn't matter much to you (ooh) It doesn't matter much to me If it doesn't matter much to you It's just a matter of time before, before It's just a matter of time before, before And though I hate to remind before, before It's just a matter of time Where the hell were you? (ooh) Where the hell were you? (ooh) Where the hell were you? It's just a matter of time before, before It's just a matter of time before, before And though I hate to rewind before, before It's just a matter of time What does it matter now? What does it matter now? What does it matter now? What does it matter now? It's just a matter of time Time 09. MISS THE MISERY If I had my way If I had to lose Wouldn't take back one thing Never had much to choose Then it dawned on me Coming down on you Like a cold sky raining under a burning moon Been waiting all your life your wish is coming true Bless your heart for beating me right out of you Miss the misery Need a reason for a change Need a reason to explain So turn it on again Don't change your mind You're wasting light Get in and let's Go, oh, oh, oh Go, oh, oh, oh What a nice long leash, what a nice tight noose Never worked for me, but sure would look good on you Been waiting all your life your wish is coming true Bless your heart for beating me right out of you Miss the misery Need a reason for a change Need a reason to refrain So turn it on again Don't change your mind You're wasting light Get in and let's Go, oh, oh, oh Go, oh, oh, oh Miss the misery Gimme reason for a change Miss the misery Gimme reason to refrain Miss your misery today Miss your misery today Come on and turn it on for me Don't change your mind You're wasting light Don't make this right Don't make this right Get in and let's Go, oh, oh, oh Go, oh, oh, oh 10. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN I should have known that it would end this way I should have known there was no other way Didn't hear your warning Damn my heart gone there I should have known Look at the shape you're in I should have known But I don't write in One thing is for certain As I'm standing here I should have known Lay your hands in mine Heal me one last time Though I cannot forgive you yet No I cannot forgive you yet To leave my heart in debt I should have known I was inside of you I should have known There was that side of you Came without a warning Caught me unaware I should have known I've been here before I should have known Don't want it anymore One thing is for certain I'm still standing here I should have known Lay your hands in mine Heal me one last time Though I cannot forgive you yet No I cannot forgive you yet To leave my heart in debt No I cannot forgive you yet No I cannot forgive you yet To leave my heart in debt I should have known Maybe you was right Didn't want a fight I should have known Couldn't read the signs Couldn't see the lie I should have known Though I cannot forgive you yet No I cannot forgive you yet To leave my heart in debt Though I cannot forgive you yet No I cannot forgive you yet To leave my heart in debt No I cannot forgive you yet No I cannot forgive you yet To leave my heart in debt I should have known 11. WALK A million miles away Your signal in the distance To whom it may concern I think I lost my way Gettin good at startin' over Every time that I return I'm learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin? I'm learning to talk again Can't you see I've waited long enough? Where do I begin? Do you remember the days? We'd build these paper mountains Then sat and watched them burn I think I found my place Can't you feel it growing stronger? Little conquerors I'm learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin? I'm learning to talk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin? Now For the very first time Don't you pay no mind Set me free, again You keep alive a moment at a time The still inside, a whisper to a riot The sacrifice, the knowing to survive The first decline, another state of mind I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign Forever, whenever I never wanna die I never wanna die I never wanna die I'm on my knees I never wanna die I'm dancing on my grave I'm running through the fire Forever, whenever I never wanna die I never wanna leave I'll never say goodbye Forever, whenever Forever, whenever I'm learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough Where do I begin? I'm learning to talk again Can't you see I've waited long enough? Where do I begin? I'm learning to walk again I believe I've waited long enough I'm learning to talk again Can't you see I've waited long enough? ___________________________ Provided by: www.fftabs.com
