If I find the answer

Verse 1
The pain is getting stronger
It's selfish like I am
I feel your hands upon me
Is that you my friend?


Chorus
If I find the answer
It's not gonna be here


Verse 2
My friend the pain is gone now
and I, I know no shame
my optimism's fading
but for now I feel no blame


Chorus
If I find the answer
It's not gonna be here

Ordinary Guy

Intro


Chorus
I'm an ordinary guy
I'm an ordinary guy
I'm an ordinary guy like you want


I'm an ordinary guy
I can't move a bridge or fly
I'm just an ordinary guy like you want


Verse 1
Sometimes I feel the pressure
Oh the pressure
Feels like my brain is about to explode
   As I turn to walk away
   I straighten up and stay
I've got the inner peace to carry this load


Chorus
I'm an ordinary guy
I can't move a bridge or fly
I'm an ordinary guy like you want


I'm an ordinary guy
I can't move a bridge or fly
I'm just an ordinary guy like you want


Verse 2
The icicles have hit the ground now
They keep me in
Inside my cell
   As I turn to break away
   I straighten up and stay
I keep my covered back against the well OH!


Break


Chorus
I'm an ordinary guy
I'm an ordinary guy
I'm an ordinary guy
I'm an ordinary guy
I'm an ordinary guy
I'm an ordinary guy
I'm an ordinary guy
I'm an ordinary guy
I'm an ordinary guy
I'm an ordinary guy
I'm just an ordinary guy like you want.

Making up lies

Intro


Verse 1
I've been spending time
Making up lies
To tell to you
   (to tell to you)


I've seen better times
Confident and kind
I wish I knew
   (those times again)


Music


Verse 2
I spend all my time
Making up lies
To tell to you
   (to tell to you)


Days and days go by
I cultivate the lie
To pour on you
   (to pour on you)


Music

Chorus
And now these lies are coming back to haunt me
And now these lies are coming back to haunt me
And now these lies are coming back to haunt me
And now these lies are coming back to haunt me
And now these lies are coming back to haunt me
And now these lies are coming back to haunt me
And now these lies are coming back to haunt me
And now these lies are coming back to haunt me

Bucket

Verse1
Looking through gutters for happiness
waiting and waiting to look through the glass
I see you standing there
I don't let it pass
Because when I see you
I've found it at last


Chorus
You are my chocolate factory
My chocolate factory


Verse 2
I used to be starving, obedient and kind
then I just dreamt of what I may find
I found you wrapped up in gold
and now you give to me the love you did hold


Chorus
you are my chocolate factory
my chocolate factory
you are my chocolate factory
my chocolate factory


solo

Verse 3
I used to be starving, obedient and kind
then I just dreamt of what I may find
I found you wrapped up in gold
and now you give to me the love you did hold


Chorus
you are my chocolate factory
my chocolate factory
you are my chocolate factory
my chocolate factory

I'm a leader

intro

verse 1
I'm a leader
and I'm needy
I've got a rock solid resolution
but I'm tainted by confusion


verse 2
I'm a leader
and I'm seedy
I've got a rock solid resolution
tainted by delusion

why are you following me? (X4)
please stop following me (X4)


(bridge)
you sell your soul
for rock and roll (X2)


verse 3
I'm a leader
I'm elitist
rock solid resolution
tainted by confusion (X2)


chorus
why are you following me? (X4)
please stop following me (X4)

Hesitate

I can't remember this
I've hit it
No, I've missed
I'm floating
No, I'm falling
I can't believe I'm falling


There was a better time
I could make up my mind
but now you'll have to wait
as I hesitate


When I hesitate, you know
I lose my mind.


Tried to nail it once again
I missed again my friend
My floating's changed to falling
And this is all I see...


There was a better time
I could make up my mind
I've changed,
you'll have to wait
while I hesitate


When I hesitate, you know,
I lose my mind.

I miss your food
and your cooking, too
I miss your food
and your cooking, too

Memory

Verse 1
I waited for you to show up,
Finally smiling
I waited for you to show up at all
I thought that I saw you, I thought that I heard
It looked like an angel.
Where are you, my dear?


Chorus (NO VOX)

Verse 2
Is that you? If it is you here I am, yes, here I am!
Here I am dear. Right behind you. All around you.
Here I am.
I've been gone for so long. Do you wonder where I am?
I can see you, even feel you. You don't see me 'cause I'm gone.
Can you hear me, hear me screaming? I'm here screaming for you.
As I tap you on the shoulder and I fade out into blue.


Chorus I can tell I'm slipping away from your memory.
I can tell I'm slipping away from you


Bridge I can tell you right now you take nothing with you
I can tell you right now you won't need anything
I can tell you right now you'll leave your troubles behind.


Verse 3 Can you hear me, hear me screaming? I'm here screaming for you.
As I tap you on the shoulder and I fade out into blue.


Chorus I can tell I'm slipping away from your memory.
I can tell I'm slipping away from you
