1. A Teardrop to the Sea - Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Falcon - 5:07

https://youtu.be/cDwia5nMXBY


So this is it
Here it is
A pot of gold
A Judas kiss

I got what I wanted
I paid every cost
I'd give it all back
To get back what I've lost
Like a wave on the beach
Last leaf on the tree
It's all just a memory

Chorus
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My treasure just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying
I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbye
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea

They shake my hand
Pat my back
They know my drink
Welcome back
Life of the party
Tears of a clown
Can't hear a heartbreak
The music's too loud

Chorus
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My treasure just rags
Wings that don't fly,
I ain't praying
I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbye
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea

[Guitar Solo]

It's just broken glass
Chalk lines on the street
Move along, move along
Ain't nothing here to see

Chorus
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My riches just rags
Wings that don't fly,
I ain't praying
I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbyes
Oh, love pick me up
Oh, love pick me up
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
A teardrop to the sea

[Guitar Solo]

A teardrop to the sea

2. We Don't Run - Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks - 3:17

https://youtu.be/t_PQvX5dUnE

Take a look around you
Yeah the sky is falling
Sinners say your prayers
This train is off the tracks
Nothing is forever when
Tomorrow's calling
Dancing with the devil
To get one day back! ah

Not afraid of burning bridges
'cause I know they're gonna light my way
Like a phoenix from the ashes
Welcome to the future
It's a new day

"We don't run"
I'm standing my ground
"We don't run"
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountain
Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in

Run
"We don't run"
"We don't run"

Take me to the banks of your muddy water
Where the flesh and blood and the spirit meet
Only takes your touch for me to find salvation
You're the only reason that I still believe

Not afraid of burning bridges
'cause I know they're gonna light my way
Like a phoenix from the ashes
Welcome to the future
It's a new day

"We don't run"
I'm standing my ground
"We don't run"
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountain
Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in

Run
"We don't run"
"We don't run"

(Fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain)
(Fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain)

[Guitar solo]

"We don't run"
I'm standing my ground
"We don't run"
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountain
Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in

Run
"We don't run"
"We don't run"

"We don't run"
(Fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain)

3. Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning - Bon Jovi, Shanks, Richie Sambora - 3:23

https://youtu.be/gdGMhU24EAA


I was living my life like a long-lost weekend
Never felt nothing, jumping right into deep end
I wasn’t missin’ nothin’ that was ever worth getting
Never hung around enough to regret it

You came walking in late but just in time
You ended my excuses with a ten-cent rhyme
Your shoes and attitude were stacked way up high
I knew right then you were the story of my life.

Saturday night gave me Sunday morning
Opened my eyes now it’s a new day dawning
Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
Everything about us is what gets me through
I never thought I’d hear the church bells ringing
I never learned the song this heart was singing
No regrets I took that step and I’m still falling
Saturday night gave me Sunday morning, yeah

When you're driving down a street that’s only going one way
Every day starts feeling like a month of Mondays
You should know I still got something left to prove
I know what it takes to get back to you

Saturday night gave me Sunday morning
Opened my eyes now it’s a new day dawning
Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
Everything about us is what gets me through
I never thought I’d hear the church bells ringing
I never learned the song this heart was singing
No regrets I took that step and I’m still falling
Saturday night gave me Sunday morning, yeah

Remember those nights staring out at the lights
Making time with our feet in the sand
Making up words to our favorite songs
Laughin’ loud with those drinks in our hands
And as that boy put his head on her shoulder
She pulled him tight to get a bit closer
And as the world just disappeared
You whispered in my ear

Saturday night gave me Sunday morning
Opened my eyes now it’s a new day dawning
Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
Everything about us is what gets me through
I never thought I’d hear the church bells ringing
I never learned the song this heart was singing
No regrets I took that step and I’m still falling
Saturday night gave me Sunday morning, yeah

Sunday morning

5. Blind Love - Jon Bon Jovi - 4:48

https://youtu.be/xbJqBflyli4


Welcome to another hard night
You made it through another day
Sit at the counter counting tips
Can't count on nothing else these days

Don't wanna go home to the TV
Dont' wanna go down to some bar
You grab a blanket
Pull the top down
And go driving in your car

Though your bed's as warm as January
On this cold December's night

Chorus
Close your eyes, love
Sleep safe and sound tonight
'cause blind love
Is guiding every step I take
It's one less I got to make
Till I find my way home
Try love

Welcome to another morning
The sun's still shining but it's grey
Get out of bed now sleepy head
You'd give an arm to hear him say

Oh, and no one said that it'd be easy
But no one said it'd be this hard

Chorus
To close your eyes, love
Sleep safe and sound tonight
'cause blind love
Is guiding every step I take
It's one less I've got to make
Till I find my way home
Try love

If there's a patron saint of blind love
I hope he keeps me on your mind, love
With every moment I'm away
We're getting closer to the day
We'll never have to say goodbye, love

These days it's hard for me to feel the sand beneath my feet
With this gunny sack and boots on, oh
But no one said this would be easy
And no one said it'd be this hard

Chorus
Close your eyes, love
Sleep safe and sound tonight
'cause blind love
Is guiding every step I take
It's one less I got to make
Till I find my way home
Try love

If there's a patron saint of blind love
I hope he keeps me on your mind, love
With every moment I'm away
We're getting closer to the day
We'll never have to say goodbye, love
With our blind love
Blind love

Welcome to another hard night
You made it through another day

9. I'm Your Man - Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks - 3:44

https://youtu.be/YU2WxNUit2U

When your heart is hungry,
When you want a secret you can keep,
You know that you can call me,
Anytime for anything you need,
No one asking questions,
No need for alibis,
No need for wasting words,
I'm who I am,
I'm your man,

No job that I can't handle,
There ain't much that I ain't done,
I'll be that one call that you get,
When you can't call no one,
When the room is dark and empty,
There's no need to explain,
Baby I'll come running, here I am,
I'm your man,

We know not to ask questions,
So no one has to lie,
We both know without hello,
There won't be no goodbyes,
No promises that we won't keep,
No more to understand,
Tonight you're my woman and I'm your man,
I'm your man,

We both know we're lonely,
When we hold each other tight,
But we won't ask forgiveness,
When we walk away at night,
No one asking questions,
No need for alibis,
No need to say those words,
Just take my hand,
I'm your man.
