Firelight 04:45
Firelight (D) Verse 1 D / D / A- / A- / I am a lonesome cowboy from the plains G / G / D / D / I walked ten miles to shelter from the rain D / D / A- / A- / been watching you by the firelight G / G / D / D / you want to know which way is wrong & which way is right Now if you trace your line back to the south don't be surprised if they punch you in the mouth Cause you were waiting here so patiently What’s the point of waiting to be free Chorus A- / G / D / D / If you can’t prove you got the groove why do you try If you can’t lose then why’d you choose that alibi? Maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m wrong but I’ve got to try Maybe I’m wrong, Maybe I’m wrong but I’ve got to try D / D / A- / A- / Ahh.. G / G / D / D / Verse 2 Now it’s a plain and simple fact You occupy the place where I once sat She don’t love you much more than she loved me I bet you wait for her so patiently Chorus 2 Now if you choose not to abuse her memory You don’t despise all of the lies you couldn’t see Maybe I’m wrong, Maybe I’m wrong can you make me see Maybe I’m wrong, Maybe I’m wrong can you help me see Ahh… Verse 3 If you retrace your steps a hundred miles You’ll never find the memory of her smile It was just that way - she’s a picture of desire No flesh no blood, no bones, just smoke and fire Chorus 3 Now what you do, it don’t sound cool but it’s all right and if you lose how do you choose now not to fight maybe I’m wrong maybe I’m wrong but it don’t seem right maybe I’m wrong maybe I’m wrong but it don’t seem right Ahh…

Another Glass Of Wine (E) Verse: we didn't look very far down the road when we started out and it didn't take long till the old man started to shout you took a page right out of my book you never even stopped to look and now the whole town's on the hook just for what you said well all the kids made a circle and they swayed to and fro in a sudden reversal you claimed to never know how the money made it in the bag how the game was such a drag why the people always brag when they're feeling low Chorus: well I'm crazy for your lazy lovin all the time and maybe when your baby leaves home you'll come to mine you always say you feel so bad and I'm the best kind of loving that you ever had so don't you look so sad and won't you have another glass of wine Verse 2: There's a pistol in a box on top of the TV set I'll tell you when I know but I ain’t made my mind up yet whether to come or go or to do it fast or slow I don't know but I'll tell you so when I make that bet You got a creepy little smile that you make when you're feeling nice It doesn't happen very often but it always happens twice you took the words right out of my mouth you hung a left for the land of the south You never went without before you went with what would suffice Repeat Chorus Verse 3: There’s a red-bearded lumberjack making for the merry go round He puts a dime in the jukebox for that old south american sound And all the people that sent their regrets Ran to the corner just to place their bets You always smoke cigarettes when there’s no one else around

Once Again 02:23
Panic is something that I’m used to But I deal with it in my own way And loving you feels like a nightmare I keep running through these rooms trying to say baby - just take a look around you I need you so much more than he and baby - put your arms around me don’t you know you were always meant for me Come what’s it take how’s the love that you make won’t you say whatever’s on your mind Come with me now up the stairs down the hall need to feel you close once again Once again I see you smiling Once again I hear you cry and I feel your tears upon my face again once again once again
