Thinkin'  about today,
worryin'  about tommorrow,
nothin'  ever stays the same,
blame  your madness on sorrow,
 but be a  happy man.
Take  your time, don't you hurry,
life  is the love that you give,
live  in the shadow of lonliness,
oceans  of tears and a sky full of fears,
oh, no, no, no.
In the chorus there is this typical blues/R'n'R riff:

 Love her, boy, lover boy,
 ride her on wings of love,
 love her, boy, lover boy,
 tell her what you're thinking of.
 All your  life you were lonely,
  Riff (4th  Fret) Riff
 you were hiding all your lonliness in your dreams.
 Never  takin' chances,
 runnin'  from romances,
 and lookin'  for one who  dances
 only with you.
She  will never lie,
she  will never lie.
You  will never cry,
you  will never cry.
 
 Sure  as the mornin' sun is comin',
 Riff (4th  Fret) Riff
 no more runnin', knowin' that love is real.
 Sing  her a song that will last forever,
 give  her your heart, let her  love you,
 you know  she's thinkin'  of you,
 don't  be a fool.
You  can have it all,
you  can have it all.
She  won't let you fall,
she  won't let you fall.
In the Solo there is the Blues Riff In D:
G|-2-2-4-4-2-2-4-4...
D|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0...

 All you  got to do is love  her, boy...
 
 
You  can have it all,
you  can have it all,
you  can have it all.
She  won't let you fall,
she  won't let you fall,
she  won't let you fall.
 All you  got to do is
 Love her, boy, lover boy,
 ride her on wings of love,
 love her, boy, lover boy,
 tell her what you're thinking of.
 Love her, boy, lover boy,
 ride her on wings of love,
 love her, boy, lover boy,
 tell her what you're thinking of.
