Intro Here's another one to, the world tumbling down Not like we're forced to, find something yet to be found It's right in front of your face, but just can't seem to place, the words to make things right There's no giving in, too late not to win, go on complete your life I'll give it one more! Verse: Day, before our reckoning, the words in my head are deafening Can never seem to place them understand, it's frustrating to no end Just need to man up stop the delegating, it's left on you stop the suffocating Day after day I get no rest, can't hold back, here goes my best Right here right now it's time to confess, I can't deny my life's a mess No good in sight til you came around, no good in me, nowhere to be found Too much bad for the good to shine through, too many scars each with a name too But when you're around life gets much better, so here's to you, my metal love letter I'll give it one more! Chorus: Day after day, time after time You know I try to be a better man, just what will make you understand I've lost all faith in humanity, it's madness and insanity When you're around life's not so gray, so I'll give it one more day Verse 2: I might never understand, how thing's happen so fast It's like a storm hit this place, it's like a blast from the past Things go so good, then turn to straight shit No matter what you do, you can't make things fit I've tried a million things, and not one of them work Still don't give up on you, I'm not the every day jerk How can I open your eyes, to me standing right here How can I make you realize, there's nothing to fear I'm right here Chorus-End Chorus

Verse A young boy got in a fight at school one day When teacher broke it up, asked what do you have to say PreChorus You're gonna go nowhere in life, acting like a fool Now tell me son, yeah what you gonna do Chorus I'm gonna kiss all the girls Gonna drive those fast cars I'm gonna hang out in bars Maybe move down to Chicago I'm gonna play the guitar Gonna go so far I'm gonna be a big star But first I'll have to learn to solo Verse A few years later, has trouble work one day Boss says he's fired, now what do you have to say PreChorus Chorus Break Chorus x2

Intro Shots fired from the second row Coming from a girl we've never seen before, for sure She's trying to fake it Sends a beer between every song Get you buzzed then she'll sing along, for sure She's trying to make it Verse Wearing that fake smile, you had a hell of a set No one could do it better, at least not yet, that's how That's how she'll fake it This type of girl is a different game She'll eat up the weak and then cast them away, that's how That's how she'll make it Pre Chorus Don't be a victim to her game No matter what you think, they're all the same At some point, they all will make their strike Better watch your back, it might be tonight Protect your neck any way you can Draw your line deep down into the sand Try not to cross it that's the plan Take your stand, be half a man Verse Looks like she came prepaired today Wearing them cut off jeans and ready to play, it's time For her to fake it Locked on to target, eyes set to kill Better watch out she's coming for you, it's time For her to make it Chorus Breakdown

Verse There's a hundred places I could be But I choose to be right here with you There's a thousand things I could go see But I instead I'm spending time with you There's a million things that make this right But it only takes is one thing to lose this fight PreChorus You're starting to really grow on me Are you and I just make believe You're starting to get a hold on me There's got to be some way to make you see Verse Break Chorus I'd rather have you standing here next to me More than a star you're the whole damn galaxy Takes more than words to make this come out right So I wrote a song, and I'm playing for you tonight Nothing exhists that could take me away from this You and I are just a pair that can't exist Without each other, we break the rules of life I would be lost if I wasn't with you tonight

Verse You called, cuz you heard my song on the radio The one about you, maybe the other girl you didn't know Either way, it's f#(kin' perfect Always catchin' you singin' along to every chorus Look at you, dance moves like Chuck Norris If you move like that, you're f#(kin' perfect Half Chorus I'm just waiting for your call telling me goodnight Before I go on stage making sure you're alright Verse It won't be long, maybe we can get together Rain or shine, no matter the weather You and me wet, that's fuckin' perfect It's been days since I last saw your face Not even a text, such a disgrace But the peace and quiet, now that's fuckin' perfect Chorus I'm just waiting for your call telling goodnight Before I go on stage making sure you're alright Like a roundhouse to the face, you have got me dazed When I see the pic you sent me, baby I'm amazed With a body like that rockin' in my face You're f#(kin' perfect
