C         Am7              F       Em
I long for the warmth of days gone by
  F            Em
when you were mine
    Am7        Dm7
but now those days
     F    G       C
are memories in time

           Am7          F          Em
Life's empty without you by my side
F             Em       Am7
My heart belongs to you
    Dm7     F       G 
No matter what I try

Bridge: 
               F                            Em-Am7
When I get the courage up to love somebody new
               F
It always falls apart cause they just
                   Em-Am7 
Can't compare to you
              F 
You love won't release me
                             Em 
I'm bound under ball and chain 
     Am7          Dm7       F          G            F
Reminiscing our love as I watch four season's change 

[Chorus: ]
F
 In comes the winter breeze 
        Em              Am7
 That chills the air and drifts the snow 
F                     Em           Am7
 And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe
F
 When springtime makes its way here 
 Em             Am7            Dm7                 G
 Lilac blooms reminds me of the scent of your perfume 
F       
 When summer burns with heat 
   Em             Am7
 I always get the hots for you 
F                         Em             Am7
 Go skinny dippin' in the ocean where we used to do 
F                                 Em
 When autumn sheds the leaves the trees are bare 
      Am7               Dm7                 G
When you're not here it doesn't feel the same 

C        Am7             F                Em
 Remember the nights when we closed our eyes
F                Em---Am7      Dm7                      G
 And vowed that you and I would be in love for all time

Repeat Bridge Chords:
Anytime I think about these things is shared with you 
I break down and cry cause I get so emotional 
Until you release me I'm bound under ball and chain 
Reminiscing our love as I watch four seasons change 


[Chorus]
F               Em7
 This loneliness
                Am7
 Has crushed my heart 
                        Dm7
 Please let me love again 
                  F                                  Em - Am7
 Cause I need your love to comfort me and ease my pain 
         Dm7                    F        G       F       
 Or four seasons will bring the loneliness again  

Chorus
          C                          F      Em  C
....I long for...the warmth of...days gone by

Water Runs Dry

Verse 1:
C                      G           Am      G
We don't even talk anymore
C                       G                   Am         G
We don't even know what we argue about
C                            G                Am         G
Don't even say "I love you" no more
C                        G             Am         G
Saying how we feel is no longer aloud

Bridge:
F                       E
Some people work things out and
Am                       G                   D/F#
Some just don't know how to change

Chorus:
                    F               Em           Dm
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
                   F                      Em               Dm
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
                 Am               G               F      D/F#
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
                       Dm                C                G
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives
                               C  G  Am G
Don't do it baby, ooh...

Verse2:
C                            G               Am         G
They can see the tears in our eyes
C                                   G                  Am                 G
Cause we both have a pain that lies deep in our hearts
C                          G                   Am         G
Well baby that's a pain we can hide
C                           G                          Am            G
Cause everybody knows that we're both torn apart

Bridge2:
F                  E
Why do we hurt each other?
Am              G                D/F#
Why do we push love away?

Chorus

Bridge

According to the I'll Make Love To You Songfacts, in the US, this was the biggest hit of 1994. With 14 weeks at #1, it equaled what was the record for most weeks at #1 in the US, a record that was broken by One Sweet Day, their 1995 collaboration with Mariah Carey, which remained at #1 for 16 weeks.   

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.
