1//VERTIGO

Unos, dos, tres, catorce! (Turn it up loud, captn')

{verse}

Lights go down, it's dark The jungle is your head,

Can't rule your heart a feeling's so much stronger than a thought

your eyes are wide and though your soul, it can't be bought

your mind can wander

{chorus}

Hello hello (Hola!)

I'm at a place called Vertigo (Donde esta)

It's everything I wish I didn't know

Except you give me something I can feel, feel

{verse}

The night is full of holes As bullets rip the sky

Of ink with gold They twinkle as the Boys play rock and roll

They know they can't dance At least they know....

I can't stand the beat I'm asking for the cheque

The girl with crimson nails Has Jesus round her neck

Swinging to the music Swinging to the music / Oh oh oh oh

{chorus}

Hello hello / I'm at a place called Vertigo

It's everything I wish I didn't know

But you give me something I can feel, feel

{ ~ Check mated Shots fall ... shove me in yeah~)

{Solo break w/basic riff x 4}

D E D E {repeat}

All of this, all of this can be yours

All of this, all of this can be yours

All of this, all of this can be yours

Just give me what I want and no-one gets hurt...

{chorus}

Hello hello (hola!) / We're at a place called Vertigo (Donde esta)

Lights go down and all I know is that / you give me something

E D A D {repeat}

I can feel your love teaching me ho-o-o-o-o-ow

Your love is teaching me how, how to kneel... kneel

{Basic riff} Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah / Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

yeah yeah ... Yeah {end on E}

Intro:

Verse I:

I want to trip inside your head

Spend the day there

To hear the things you haven't said

And see what you might see

Verse II:

I want to hear you when you call

Do you feel anything at all

I want to see your thoughts take shape

And walk right out

Prechorus:

Freedom has a scent

Like the top of a new born baby's head

Chorus:

The songs are in your eyes

I see them when you smile

I've seen enough, I'm not giving up

Bm (use intro/verse chords to fill)

On a miracle drug

Verse III:

Of science and the human heart

There is no limit

There is no failure here sweetheart

Just when you quit

I am you and you are mine

Love makes nonsense of space

Prechorus:

And time will disappear

Love and logic keep us clear

Reason is on our side, love

Chorus:

The songs are in your eyes

I see them when you smile

I've had enough of romantic love

I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up

For a miracle drug, a miracle drug

A miracle drug

Bridge:

Oh God, I need your help tonight

Guitar solo-use chorus chords

Last chorus lead-in:

Beneath the noise

Below the din

I hear a voice

It's whispering

In science and in medicine

I was a stranger

You took me in

Chorus

The songs are in your eyes

I see them when you smile

I've had enough of romantic love

I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up

For a miracle drug, for a miracle drug

G A Bm Hold Bm to finish

Miracle, miracle drug

3//SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN

Intro:

VERSE ONE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tough, you think you've got the stuff

You're telling me and anyone

You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight

You don't have to always be right

Let me take some of the punches

For you tonight

PRE-CHORUS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Listen to me now

I need to let you know

You don't have to go it alone

CHORUS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

VERSE TWO

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We fight all the time

You and I...that's alright

We're the same soul

I don't need...I don't need to hear you say

That if we weren't so alike

You'd like me a whole lot more

PRE-CHORUS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Listen to me now

I need to let you know

You don't have to go it alone

CHORUS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

BRIDGE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know that we don't talk

I'm sick of it all

Can - you - hear - me - when - I -

Sing, you're the reason I sing

You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Well, hey now!

I've got to let you know

A house still doesn't make a home

Don't leave me here alone...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And it's you when I look in the mirror

And it's you that makes it hard to let go

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Sometimes you can't make it

The best you can do is to fake it

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

(Play 'A' to fade)

5//CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS

Verse:

The most you see the less you know

The less you find out as you go home

I knew much more then, then I did now,

Neon heart, day-glow eyes, city lit by fire flies,

They're advertising in the sky for people like us.

Pre-Chorus:

And I miss you when you're not around,

I'm getting ready to leave the ground.

Chorus:

oooooooo, ooooooooo

Oh you look so beautiful tonight

(Play riff1 1x now) In the city of blinding lights.

Verse 2 (exactly like verse 1)

Don't look before you laugh,

Look ugly in a photograph,

Etc........

Bridge:

Outro:

Play Riff1 during outro.

6// ALL BECAUSE OF YOU
