You and me we were the pretenders We let it all slip away In the end what you don't surrender

F

G

Well the world just strips away Girl ain't no kindness in the face of strangers Ain't gonna find no miracles here Well you can wait on your blessings my darling But I got a deal for you right here

F

C

I ain't lookin' for prayers or pity

F

C

F

I ain't comin' round searchin' for a crutch

C

I just want someone to talk to

Ain't no mercy on the streets of this town Ain't no bread from heavenly skies Ain't nobody drawin' wine from this blood It's just you and me tonight Tell me in a world without pity Do you think what I'm asking's too much? I just want something to hold on to And a little of that human touch Just a little of that human touch |

So you been broken and you been hurt Show me somebody who ain't Yeah I know I ain't nobody's bargain But hell a little touch-up and a little paint You might need somethin' to hold on to When all the answers they don't amount to much Somebody that you can just talk to And a little of that human touch Baby in a world without pity Do you think what I'm asking's too much? I just want to feel you in my arms And share a little of that human touch Share a little of that human touch Feel a little of that human touch And you feel a little of that human touch Share a little of that human touch Fell a little of that human touch Give you a little of that human touch And you give me a little of that human touch |

Baby let me be your soul driver Well if something in the air feels a little unkind Don't worry darlin', oh, it'll slip your mind I'll be your gypsy joker, your shotgun rider Baby let me be your soul driver

Now no one knows which way love's wheel turns

Will we hit it rich or crash and burn

Does fortune wait, or just the black hand of fate?

One toast before it's too late If the angels are unkind or the season is dark Or if in the end love just falls part Then here's to our destruction Baby let me be your soul driver Here's to our destruction Baby let me be your soul driver

Dm

I bought a bourgeois house in the Hollywood hills With a trunk-load of hundred thousand dollar bills Man came by to hook up my cable TV We settled in for the night, my baby and me

A

G

We switched round and round till half-past dawn

Dm

There was fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Well now home entertainment was my baby's wish So I hopped into town for a satellite dish I tied it to the top of my Japanese car I came home and pointed it out into the stars A message came back from the great beyond There's fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on

Dm

Well we might've made some friends with some billionaires We might've got all nice and friendly if we'd made it upstairs

A

G

All I got was a note that said, "Bye-bye John

Dm

Our love is fifty-seven channels and nothin' on" Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on So I bought a .44 magnum it was solid steel cast And in the blessed name of Elvis well I just let it blast Till my TV lay in pieces there at my feet And they busted me for disturbin' the almighty peace Judge said, "What you got in your defense son?" "Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on" "Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on" "Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on" I can see by your eyes, friend, you're just about gone Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on

E

First time I crossed my heart I was beggin' baby please At your bedside down on my knees

A

When I crossed my heart

E

It's when I crossed my heart

B

E

I crossed my heart pretty baby over you Second time I crossed my heart Rain came in from the south I was lyin' there with something sweet and salty in my mouth When I crossed my heart That's when I crossed my heart I crossed my heart pretty darlin' over you

A

Well you may think the world's black and white

E

And you're dirty or you're clean

A

You better watch out you don't slip

B

Through them spaces in between Where the night gets sticky And the sky gets black I grabbed you baby you grabbed me back And we crossed our hearts We crossed our hearts Yeah I crossed my heart, hmm Little boys, little girls They know their wrongs from their rights Once you cross your heart You ain't ever supposed to lie Well life ain't nothin' But cold hard ride I ain't leavin' till I'm satisfied I cross my heart Yeah I cross my heart Well I cross my heart pretty darlin' over you |

You cut me right down to size

C

D

A

Yeah, now I'm just a fool in Gloria's eyes Swore I'd get you back I was so sure I'd get you back like I done so many times before A little sweet talk to cover over all of the lies You came runnin' back but to my surprise Well there's somethin' gone in Gloria's eyes

C

C

Well in the dark when it was just me and you

D

I asked the question that I knew the answer to

C

Is that a smile my little dolly on the shelf

D

Tell me is that a smile, Or is it somethin' else? Now I work hard to prove my love is true Now I work hard and I bring it on home to you At night I pray as silently you lie Some day my love again will rise Like a shining torch in Gloria's eyes Like a shining torch in Gloria's eyes Yeah, like a shining torch in Gloria's eyes I was your big man your prince charming King on a white horse now look how far I've fallen |

Ol' catfish in the lake we called him Big Jim

The angel of the lake whispered in my ear

"Before you choose your wish son, you better think first

E

With every wish there comes a curse" I fell in love with beautiful Doreen She was the prettiest thing this old town had ever seen I courted her and I made her mine But I grew jealous whenever another man would come walkin' down the line And my jealousy made me treat her hard and cruel She sighed, "Bobby oh Bobby you're such a fool Don't you know before you choose your wish, you'd better think first 'Cause with every wish there comes a curse"

Solo over verse chords

These days I sit around and laugh at the many rivers I've crossed But on the far banks there's always another forest where a man can get lost Well there in the high trees love's bluebird glides Guiding us 'cross to another river on the other side And there someone is waitin' with a look in her eyes And though my heart's grown weary and more than a little bit shy Tonight I'll drink from her waters to quench my thirst And leave the angels to worry

A

C#m

With every wish...

Into the real world, oh I built a shrine in my heart it wasn't pretty to see Made out of fool's gold memory And tears cried, but now I'm headin' over the rise I'm searchin' for one clear moment of love and truth I still got a little faith But what I need is some Proof tonight, I'm lookin' for it in your eyes Ain't no church bells ringing Ain't no flags unfurled Just me and you and the love we're bringing Into the real world Into the real world, oh

Into this black river of doubt

And when the morning comes baby I don't wanna hide

C

G

I'll stand right at your side with my arms open wide, yeah

Till the morning comes, I'll stand right by your side Oh, I wanna find some answers I wanna ask for some help I'm tired of runnin' scared Baby let's get our bags packed, we'll take it here to hell and heaven and back And if love is hopeless, hopeless at best Come on put on your party dress It's ours tonight, and we're goin' with the tumblin' dice Ain't no church bells ringing Ain't no flags unfurled Just me and you and the love we're bringing Into the real world Into the real world, oh
