F C Dm Am
A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
B F C
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
F C Dm Am
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
B F
Can't help but wish that I was there
C
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah
F C Dm C
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
B F
to hold her when I'm not around,
C
when I'm much too far away
F C Dm C
We all need that person who can be true to you
B F
But I left her when I found her
C
And now I wish I'd stayed
B C
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
* Dm C B
I'm missing you again oh no
F
Once again
F C Dm Am
There's nothing here for me on this barren road
B F
There's no one here while the city sleeps
C
and all the shops are closed
F C Dm Am
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
B F C
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah
F C Dm C
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
B F
to hold her when I'm not around,
C
when I'm much too far away
F C Dm C

B F
I left her when I found her
C
And now I wish I'd stayed
B C
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
* Dm C B
I'm missing you again oh no
F
Once again
Dm * B F
Some search, never finding a way
Dm * B F
Before long, they waste away
Dm * B F
I found you, something told me to stay
Dm * B F
I gave in, to selfish ways
Gm C
And how I miss someone to hold
when hope begins to fade...

D C
Dear God, I hate to be a bother but I gotta say
G
This world is getting crazier with every day
F C
I hope You hear me out now as I stop and pray
D C
Dear God, people take Your words and try to twist 'em round
G
I know you can't be happy with what's going down
F
Searching for some answers but they can't be found
C D C G
Can You help me out, Dear God
D C G
[Ohh...]
D C
Dear God, just the other night I heard somebody say,
G
"What's the use believin' in You anyway?"
F
I guess it was just heartache talking through the pain
C D
It's a cryin' shame, Dear God
C
I know You're disappointed in the things we've done
G
Can't they see the truth that they're all running from
F
Tryin' to preach Your message with a loaded gun
C D C G
What they thinkin' of? Dear God
C D C G C
[Ohhh... Oooo]
F C G
Everybody's searchin' for an easy solution, yeah
Am F C
they can't see beyond the selfish world they're livin' in
F C G
Your words of love get lost in all the confusion, yes they do
D C G
But I still believe, someday You're gonna speak to me
D
Dear God
C
I know You've got a million other calls to take
G
You're dealin' with a lot of things that just won't wait
F C
But there is one request that I just gotta make
D
Dear God
C
Won't You send a sign down just to ease my doubt
G
I'm tryin' to hear You but the silence is so loud
F
I think I see a rainbow from behind the clouds
C D
And I hear You now, Dear God

Listen!
Oh, oh, oh, oh....
I'm sick of all this waiting
And people telling me what I should be
What if I'm not so crazy
Maybe you're the one who's wrong, not me
So what you gonna do?
What you gonna say?
When we're standing on top
And do it our way
They say we've got no future
You're living in the past
So listen up, that's my generation
Hey ho, let's go
It's going down tonight
Hey ho, let's go
We're gonna do it 'til we die
Cause I,
I've got no reason to apologize
That's my generation
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
I don't need to say "I'm sorry"
I do what everybody wants to do
It's not so complicated
Cause I know you want the same thing too
So what you gonna do?
What you gonna say?
When we're standing on top
And do it our way
They say we've got no future
You're living in the past
So listen up, that's my generation
Hey ho, let's go
It's going down tonight
Hey ho, let's go
We're gonna do it 'til we die
Cause I,
I've got no reason to apologize
That's my generation
Listen!
I don't need to say "I'm sorry"
It's not so complicated
Cause I know you want the same thing too
Hey ho, let's go
It's going down tonight
Hey ho, let's go
We're gonna do it 'til we die
Cause I,
I've got no reason to apologize
That's my generation
Hey ho, let's go
That's my generation
Hey ho, let's go
We're gonna do it 'til we die
Cause I,
I've got no reason to apologize
That's my generation

Burning up
With you baby

All I can see is you

You're staring me down

I know you feel it too
(Chorus) x2

I'm slipping into the lava
[A] [G]
And I can't keep from going under
[Bm]
Baby

You turn the temperature higher
[A]
I'm burning up
[G]
Burning up
With you baby
