^ ^ (<-these alternate)
Verse riff (=main riff w/no D/G alternation + A a little different):
E E D A Asus4 A {repeat until ...
I was born a child of grace
Nothing else about the place
Everything was ugly but your beautiful face
...} D A G
And it left me no illusion
{Verse riff}
I saw you in the curve of the moon / In the shadow cast across my room
You heard me in my tune / When I just heard confusion
Chorus riff:
D D5/C# D D5/C# A (repeat)
All because of you Verse riff picks off
All because of you All because of you I am
{Verse riff}
I like the sound of my own voice / I didn't give anyone else a choice
An intellectual tortoise / Racing with your bullet train
Some people get squashed crossing the tracks
Some people got high rises on their backs
I'm not broke but you can see the cracks
You can make me perfect again
Chorus
All because of you / All because of you / All because of you
{Basic riff x1}
I am... I am

I just arrived, I'm at the door
Of the place I started out from

And I want back inside

All because of you x2 All because of you I am {end on E}
A Man And A Woman
intro: Bm Bm Em F#m
Bm Em
Little sister don?t you worry about a thing today
F#m
Take the heat from the sun
Bm
Little sister
Em
I know that everything is not ok
F#m
But you?re like honey on my tongue
Bm A Em
True love never can be rent
Bm A Em
But only true love can keep beauty innocent
Bm A
I could never take a chance
Em
Of losing love to find romance
F#m
In the mysterious distance
Bm
Between a man and a woman
No I could never take a chance
A
?Cos I could never understand
Em
The mysterious distance
Bm
Between a man and a woman
You can run from love
And if it?s really love it will find you
Catch you by the heel
But you can?t be numb for love
The only pain is to feel nothing at all
How can I hurt when I?m holding you?
I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
And you?re the one, there?s no-one else
That makes me wanna lose myself
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
Bm A
Brown eyed girl across the street
Em
On rue Saint Divine
F#m
I thought this is the one for me
Em
But she was already mine
F#m
You were already mine?
Little sister
I?ve been sleeping in the street again
Like a stray dog
Little sister
I?ve been trying to feel complete again
But you?re gone and so is God
The soul needs beauty for a soul mate
When the soul wants? the soul waits ?
No I could never take a chance
Of losing love to find romance
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
For love and sex and faith and fear
And all the things that keep us here
In the mysterious distance
Between a man and a woman
How can I hurt when I?m holding you?

From the brightest star Comes the blackest hole
You had so much to offer Why did you offer your soul?
I was there for you baby When you needed my help
Would you deny for others What you demand for yourself?

But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

You were pretty as a picture / It was all there to see
Then your face caught up with your psychology
With a mouth full of teeth / You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart thinking / every heart mends
{pre-chorus}
{chorus}
You speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table

Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed / Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by
{chorus}
And you speak of signs and wonders
But I need something other
I would believe if I was able
I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table {Verse riff until end}
