D-DU-UDU
Tell me why this world is a mess
I thought you always tried your best
Tell me what I'm ought to do
Maybe you should do it too
Tell me why they're sleeping alone
No house nowhere to call a home
Tell me what I'm meant to see
Won't you stop preaching at me
And I wanna see what it's all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over
It's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung
All the money in the world
Would never slit all the wrongs to right
All the fire in the world
Would never set my heart alive
I dream of a day when it's all gone away
And the sun is shining bright
I dream of a day when it's all gone away
But dreams are for night
And I wanna see what it's all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over
It's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung
Don't tell me that
It's over please I'm on my knees I'm beggin you to stop
It's over please I'm on my knees I'm beggin you to stop
And I wanna see what it's all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over
It's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung
2. Spark
~~~~~~~~
x4
Don't wanna see the
Stars don't wanna see the
Moon don't wanna see the
Sun it rises too
Soon
Don't wanna see the
Day don't wanna see the
Night or the
Afternoon it feels about
Right
I am the Spaceman flying
High I am the astronaught in the sky
Don't worry I'm okay
Now
I am the light in the dark
I am the match, I am the spark
Don't worry I'm okay
Now after the
Sun always
Comes rain followed by
Hurt and
Pain after the
Light comes the
Dark after the
Love comes the breaking of
My heart
I am the Spaceman flying
High I am the astronaught in the sky
Don't worry I'm okay
Now
I am the light in the dark
I am the match, I am the spark
Don't worry I'm okay
Now just
Dry your eyes and I'll be
There don't live for anger or despair
Don't worry I'm okay now
I'm okay, I'm okay
Now
3. No Roots
~~~~~~~~~~~
Somewhere out there's a dream that's not forgotten
But this world is not for stopping for me
And I will try and I will keep on trying,
I've set my goals there's no denying
Never stop fighting for what I believe
Many people will come and go
Many faces long lost you know
Many fights, many make ups
Many kisses, too many break ups
I got no roots they're not set in stone
I got no place that I call home
I'm just a lo-lo-lonely soul
I got no roots they're not set in stone
I got no place that I call home
I'm just a lo-lo-lonely soul
And the time will come when the day is done
And the fighting's over, the race is run
I don't know what I'm looking for
And this life I lead it's a curious thing but I can't deny the happiness it brings
I don't know what I'm looking for
Ooh ooh ooh ..........
Many people will come and go
Many faces long lost you know, I'm just a lo-lo-lonely soul
And there'll be many fights, many make ups
Many kisses, too many break ups, a lo-lo-lonely soul
I got no roots they're not set in stone
I got no place that I call home
I'm just a lo-lo-lonely soul
4. Love Love
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh love love you tear my world apart
Oh love love you always break my heart
It's been too long since you left me
It's been too long since the start
Oh love love please don't break my heart
Oh love love you always bring me down
Oh love love you turn my life around
Oh I don't know how to tell you
Oh I don't know what to say
But my heart is yours love in every single way
And at night I sit and cry it seems
Wondering why love is not like my dreams
Wondering why I am still here all alone
And at night I wish that you were there
Touching my face and stroking my hair
Telling me things, telling me stories
Telling me you love me and all my glories
Love love you're always in my heart
Oh love love I've known it from the start
Oh I wish that I could tell you
Oh I wish that I could say
That my heart is yours in every single way
Oh love love I wish that I could see
What in the world you mean to me
Oh love love you always bring me down down down
Oh love love I wish you'd stick around
5. An Ordinary Life
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What makes you different from anyone in here
What makes you stand out from the crowd
What makes your mother so proud of you
What makes us worship at your ground
At night when you go to bed do these thoughts run through your head
When you're lying there all alone do you think of us instea
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
I want to be free
I don't care about the cameras
I don't care about the lights
All I wanted was an ordinary life
What makes you happy, what makes you sad
Do paparazzi drive you mad
Do you miss your life back home
Were they the best days that you had
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
I want to be free
I don't care about the cameras
I don't care about the lights
All I wanted was an ordinary life
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
Where will the music take me
I don't care about the spotlight
I don't care about the nights
All I wanted was an ordinary life
I don't know where I'll be in ten years time
Where will the music take me
I don't care about the spotlight
Or the Hollywood nights
All I wanted was an ordinary life
6. Give It All Up
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I believe in everything I see
I believe you do the best for me
It's not a lot
It's all I've got
I believe that the day will come
When you see that your the only one
And the rain will fall from the sky
This is goodbye
Is there anyone you can call?
Have you got nobody left at all?
Your back's against the wall
Is there no place else you'd rather be?
Did you give it all up just for me?
I'm sorry if you got me wrong
I forgive you in a song.
I wish that i could sore in the sky
I wish that i could fly, fly, fly
say goodbye to my mother and bye to my dad
You're all I have
Is there no place else you'de rather be?
Did you give it all up just for me?
7. My Only One
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After all the mistakes have been and gone
You're still standing here, standing strong
And I forgive all the wrongs that you have ever done
Cos' you're still the only one
The apple of your mother's eye
Your life it passed your father by
I bet he whishes that he was there too
So much grace and poise yeah you're always right on cue
And there were times
You know it's true
When the whole world
Was looking at you
They changed their minds from day to night
One minute you're wrong then the next thing you're right
God rest your soul
Keep standing tall my only one
There's still a twinkle in your eye
Even after we say goodbye
You're always there in spirit and in mind
I'll be with you until the end of time
And there were times
You know it's true
When the whole world
Was looking at you
They changed their minds from day to night
One minute you're wrong then the next thing you're right
God rest your soul
Keep standing tall my only one
8. This Pretty Face
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't care
Who does her hair or
What clothes she wears
I don't care if it's YSL. I don't care if it's Chanel
What matters to me is a strong believe
All this beauty is skin deep
Don't care about hair, don't care about eyes
It's about what's inside
You'll never know who you'll meet on your way to the top
you'll prob'ly see them again when your fame starts to drop
Down down, I'll meet you on the ground
It's no good with your hair and your shiny blue eyes
It's no good when you finally start to realize
I need something more
This pretty face don't work no more
What happened to achieving
What happened to believing in your se - eh - elf
Why listen to the musings of someone, somebody else
I'm sorry I don't see and I can't quite believe it anymo - oh -oh -ore
What happened to believing that beauty's in the eye of the beholder
2xchorus (2nd time slow at the last line)
End on C
9. Troubled Soul
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
, 2x
Oh the sun may shine through your window on a summer s day
Doesn t change your heavy heart skips a beat each day
You get a temporary high as you watch life pass you by
Every single day you want to cry, can we wish those tears a fond goodbye
Aching heart, troubled soul
I wanna tell you something wanted you to know
look at these eyes, look at this smile
They re gonna stay around here, for a while
Oh the rain may pour and it may fall
but still I´ll always hear you call
I ll be waiting , waiting for you
Oh your eyes so blue your smile so white
I think about you everyday and every night
I ll be waiting, waiting for you
10. Next Big Thing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh everybody said she was the next big thing
A shining little light on a Saturday night
Dreaming of the day when she could run away
She didn't believe the hype was right
I knew right from the past,it was never gonna last
The feeling is over fast
Now here we go
Now here we go
Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone
Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone
And the tears fall down from your face
And we know beneath the surface
There's a trace a heavy heart thats working
through the pain
please stay in the game
,,, x2
Oh everybody said she was the next big thing
A shining little light on the Saturday night
Finally came the day when she did run away
She didn't believe the hype was right
I knew right from the past,it was never gonna last
The feeling is over fast
Now watch her go
Now watch her go
Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone
Can somebody please take me home
Where I can be all alone
And the tears fall down from your face
And we know beneath the surface
There's a trace a heavy heart that's working
through the pain
please stay in the game
please stay in the game x2

12. What Happiness Means To Me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maybe in the start we would laugh
Maybe in the end we would cry
But I believe in every book I've ever read
And what you said
And the moon was in the sky
And the tears did fill my eyes
And the memories they all had passed
But in my head they'll always last
And in the end before I could be
I'd shown the world
What it means to me
Believe it or not, I made them see
This is what happiness means to me
Will I ever see your face again
Will I ever touch your skin
I'll never stop loving everything you do
But not Am me and you
And what you said
And the moon was in the sky
And the tears did fill my eyes
And the memories they all had passed
But in my head they'll always last
And in the end before I could be
I'd shown the world
What it means to me
Believe it or not, I made them see
This is what happiness means to me
And in the end, I made them see
This is what happiness means to me
13. Dancing in the Dark
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I get up in the evening, And I aint got nothing to say
I come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired, Man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire, even if we're just dancing in the dark
Messages keep getting clearer, Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror, wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere, Well I'm Just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere, Hey Baby I just know that there is
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire, even if we're just dancing in the dark
You sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on baby the laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town, And they'll be carving you up all right
They say you gotta stay hungry, Hey baby, I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action, I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write
book
I need a love reaction,Hey baby gimme just one look
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire, even if we're just dancing in the dark
even if we're just dancing in the dark
even if we're just dancing in the dark

[Dm]Down down, I'll meet you on the [G]ground

12. What Happiness Means To Me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[C]Maybe in the start we would [Am]laugh
[C]Maybe in the end we would [Am]cry
[Dm]But I believe in every book I've [G]ever read
And [Am]what you said
And [Dm]the moon was in the [Am]sky
And the [G]tears did fill my [C]eyes
And the [F]memories they all had [C]passed
But in my [G]head they'll always [C]last
And in the [Dm]end before I [Am]could be
I'd shown the [G]world
What it means to [C]me
Believe it or [F]not, I made them [C]see
This is what [G]happiness means to [C]me
Will I [C]ever see your face [Am]again
Will I [C]ever touch your [Am]skin
I'll never [Dm]stop loving everything you [G]do
But not Am me and you
And [Am]what you said
And [Dm]the moon was in the [Am]sky
And the [G]tears did fill my [C]eyes
And the [F]memories they all had [C]passed
But in my [G]head they'll always [C]last
And in the [Dm]end before I [Am]could be
I'd shown the [G]world
What it means to [C]me
Believe it or [F]not, I made them [C]see
This is what [G]happiness means to [C]me
And in the [F]end, I made them [C]see
This is what [G]happiness means to [C]me
