Layla
(by eric clapton and jim gordon)
Whatll you do when you get lonely
No one waiting by your side?
Youve been running and hiding much too long.
You know its just your foolish pride.
Layla, youve got me on my knees.
Layla, Im begging, darling please.
Layla, darling wont you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Chorus
Lets make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please dont say well never find a way
And tell me all my loves in vain.
Chorus

Shes Waiting
By eric clapton and peter robinson
Shes waiting for another love.
Shes waiting for another love.
Shes been waiting for another love,
Someone that she can show into her heart.
And when she finally finds a stronger love,
Your whole worlds gonna fall apart.
Chorus
Youve been abusing her for far too long;
Think youre a king and shes your pawn.
Get ready now, cause pretty soon
Shell be gone and youll be on your own.
Chorus
I see the hunger burning in her eye;
Any fool could see theres something wrong.
You keep pretending not to care,
But I will hear you sing a different song.
Chorus
Waiting for another lover,
Hoping for the time that shell find another...

Easy Now
By eric clapton
Holding you, you holding me,
Everyone could see we were in ecstasy.
Making love against the wall,
Feeling very small when we didnt need to be.
Easy now; dont let my love flow out of you.
Please remember that I want you to come too.
Oh my darling, help me please.
When Im without you I fall down and graze my knees.
I look so funny and I feel sad,
Your love is all Ive ever had, so please dont tease.
Chorus
Yesterday, you know tomorrow,
Could it be Ill have to borrow someone new?
I know that Im the one to blame,
But all the same, there must be something you can do.

Brokenhearted
Youve been living in a world of fiction, and you cant see whos wrong, no
Youve been living in the past, its a contradiction, and this cant carry on
When I get lonely, you will too
You better face the fact that no onell come n want you, baby
Chorus:
Welcome to the world of the brokenhearted, I welcome you
Welcome to the world of the brokenhearted, I welcome you
Youve been heading down the road to nowhere, and you dont know the way
There used to be a time Id be there, but now Ive got no need to stay
So take a look around you, remember who you are
You know you had your chance, but now youve pushed me way too far
Chorus
I know you know what it feels like to have friends that tell you wrong
When you come running to me, youll find that I can be so strong
(solo)
Youve been living in a dream, its ending, so open up your eyes
And youve been living out a lie, pretending
Fooling yourself, and you dont know why
When you get lonely, when you get down
You better face the fact that I wont be around, baby
Chorus repeats out...

Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad
By eric clapton and bobby whitlock
Got to find me a way
To take me back to yesterday.
How can I ever hope to forget you?
Wont you show me a place
Where I can hide my lonely face?
I know youre going to break my heart if I let you.
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Why does love got to be so sad?
Like a moth to a flame,
Like a song without a name,
Ive never been the same since I met you.
Like a bird on the wing,
Ive got a brand new song to sing,
I cant keep from singing about you.
Chorus
Im beginning to see
What a fool youve made of me.
I might have to break the law when I find you.
Stop running away;
Ive got a better game to play,
You know I cant go on living without you.

Youve been crying your face is a mess
Come in baby, you can wipe the tears on my dress
Shes hurt you again, I can tell

Pull your shoes off,

And no-one has to know, Ive come here again
Knowing itll be like its always been before

Lay Down Sally
By eric clapton, marcy levy and george terry
There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me.
I know youve got somewhere to go,
But wont you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And dont you ever leave.
Lay down, sally, and rest you in my arms.
Dont you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, sally, no need to leave so soon.
Ive been trying all night long just to talk to you.
The sun aint nearly on the rise
And we still got the moon and stars above.
Underneath the velvet skies,
Love is all that matters. wont you stay with me?
And dont you ever leave.
Chorus
I long to see the morning light
Coloring your face so dreamily.
So dont you go and say goodbye,
You can lay your worries down and stay with me.
And dont you ever leave.

Soul
Hang out my window and over your head
Stare at your feelings to see where they end
Youre waiting here for someone else to break you from the inside
Youve been so composed
[chorus]
We all know theres always something tearing you apart
Its always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder then you thought
But you dont worry, you dont worry
Cause youve got soul
Youre so heavy, youre so misunderstood
And I spent all my wishes wishing times were good
When I still could
Wait around here for someone else to take me past the good side
Youve been here so longer
[chorus]
We all know theres always something tearing you apart
Its always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder then you thought
But you dont worry, you dont worry
Cause darling, youve got so much soul
Darling, youve got so much soul
[chorus]
Well, theres always something tearing you apart
Its always so much longer than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder then you thought
Then you ever thought it would
But you dont worry, and you dont worry
Cause you dont worry, you dont worry
Cause you dont worry, you dont worry
Cause youve got soul

Another Ticket
By eric clapton
Why cant it stay like this forever?
Why does it always have to change?
Everytime you think youve paid the price,
Seems youve always got to pay it twice.
Everytime you think youre near the end,
You turn around and find another ticket.
Oh my love, time is running out.
Oh my love, time is running out.
Why must we wait until tomorrow,
When we already know the score?
Everytime you think youve paid the price,
Seems youve always got to pay it twice.
Everytime you think youve got it made,
Seems youre only lying in the shade.
Everytime you think youve run the course,
Seems youve got to ride another horse.
Everytime you think youre near the end,
You turn around and find another ticket.

Its Too Late Now
Remember how lonely I told you it would be
Without you here with me
But you just turned and walked away
And now that Ive found somebody new
Youve changed your tune
You want me back but all I can say
Chorus:
Its too late now
Just tell me how long did you think
Id be your fool
And I would sit right here an wait
For you to make up
Your mind to show up
Well, just turn around
Im sorry its too late now
Well didnt I tell you that one of these days
It would be too late
To say youd made a big mistake
And now youve come back like youve never been gone
Well baby youre wrong
Somebody else has taken your place

Walk Out In The Rain
By bob dylan and helena springs
Walk out if it doesnt feel right,
I can tell youre only lying.
If youve got something better tonight
Then dont mess up my mind with your crying.
Just walk out in the rain,
Walk out with your dreams,
Walk out of my life if you dont feel right.
And catch the next train;
Oh, darling, walk out in the rain.
I have come from so far away
Just to put a ring on your finger.
If youve said all that youve got to say
Then please dont feel the need to linger.
Chorus
Its raining outside of the city;
My poor feet have walked till theyre sore.
If you dont want my love, its a pity.
I guess I cant see you no more.

After We Make Love
Ive been waiting such a long time
For a love thats real to come my way
Gonna take some getting used to
Now that love is here to stay
After we make love
Its good to be lost in the afterglow
All Im dreaming of
I just cant let the feeling go
After we make love
I feel Ive been touched by
All that heaven and earth will allow
All that matters here andnow
Now the world is full of wonder
Youve turned my life around in just one day
I love the spell youve put me under
Just one kiss can take my breath away
(chorus)
All the lonely days and nights
Were well wroth going through
Im so glad I didnt give my heart away
So I could give it all to you

Chains Around My Heart
Out of my sight
But the vision is still the same
Out of my mind
But the memory remains unchanged
Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt
Return to sender could only make things worse
Chorus
Girl, youve got to break these chains around my heart
Cause Ive been lonely too long
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
Dont ask me why
Why Ive lived with this all alone
Locked up inside
And its cutting me to the bone
Love is a stranger avoiding me
Beware of dangers the only sign I see
Chorus
Are you listening
Is there something that youd like to say
Am I getting through
Are you just gonna leave me this way
Girl youve got to break these chains around my heart
Before it tears me in two
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
Thats all I am asking of you
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
Cause Ive been lonely too long
Youve got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life

Running Back To You
Boy, youve been running around to long
Now I think youre running out of time
No more jumping in and out of my bed
Its time for me to draw the line
So you think you can call me the only one, then walk out the door
And you think you can run arround having fun,
And just come back for more
Chorus:
I think youre living in a fantasy
Its got to be them or me
So if you try it onr more time
Baby dont expect me to come running back to you
Running back to you
Then youll think about love, all the good I gave to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
And Ill find someone, somebody else to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back
I wont come running
Oh oh, oh oh
I wont come running back
I wont come running
Boy, hope you see before to late
I wont play the fool-no not this time
And Ill show you just how wrong you are
To think I just cant get you out of my mind
So you think you can just play me off, then walk out the door
And you think that you can just run arround and come back for more
Chorus
You cant dis me when you wanna
Or come and go when you wanna
I hear youre playing around when you wanna
Any time that you wanna
Or just tell me lies when you wanna
I got more than you want oh
Oh, and by the way
Oh, oh I wont come running back, I wont come running
Oh, oh I wont come running back, I wont come running
Running back to you
Then youll think about love, all the good I gave to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
I wont come running back, running back to you
And Ill find someone, somebody to give it to
Oh oh, oh oh

The Best Thing You Ever Had
(yeah, blues!)
I wont ask where youre going
If you dont ask where Ive been
cause if youre looking for an answer, babe
I wouldnt know where to begin.
I dont know what I want sometimes
But I sure know what I likes
Youve got that thing about you
Gets me hot inside
If it makes no sense when I wrote this song
Cause half way through it you were turning me on
Chorus #1:
Lay me down
I just might be your kind
Ill show you a better way
We can do away the time
If you stop looking so hard
I think you just might find
I aint finding it so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had
You know a little bout love and
I know a lot about hate
I believe you gotta make things happen
You believe in fate
But this wont be the first time that
We didnt see eye to eye
You may not be religious but Ill make you see god
If you give me a try
I know love can get me through it
If you give me that look well get down to it
Chorus #2:
Dont shoot me down
Im not a social disease
Youve got that thing about you
Bring a grown man to his knees
Ill teach you baby
bout them birds and them bees
When you get around
And think about it aint so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had
Best thing I ever had
Solo
Ah, give me some of that!
When I put out the dog
Ya get them old ghosts out of bed.....
I aint looking for a little to say
Baby some place to lay my head
Im the one to right your wrong
If you give me a chance and Ill turn you on

Get on with my life
Break these chains of solitude
With a little luck and a little help
I might even find myself
In the arms of someone new

Once youve loved somebody
It aint that easy to do
Once youve loved somebody

Look what youve gone and done
Youve ruined everything for everyone

A little time is all it takes

Waiting For The Miracle
Baby, Ive been waiting
Ive been waiting night and day
I didnt see the time
I waited half my life away
There were many invitations
And I know you sent me some
But I was waiting
For the miracle to come
I know you really loved me
But, you see, my hands were tied
I know it must have hurt you
It must have hurt your pride
To stand beneath my window
With your bugle and your drum
While I was waiting
For the miracle to come
You wouldnt like it baby
You wouldnt like it here
Theres not much entertainment
And the critics are severe
The maestro says its mozart
But it sounds like bubble gum
When youre waiting
For the miracle to come
Chorus
Waiting for the miracle
Theres nothing left to do
I havent been this happy
Since the end of world war ii
Nothing left to do
When you know that youve been taken
Nothing left to do
When youre begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
When youve got to go on waiting
For the miracle to come
I dreamed about you, baby
It was just the other night
Most of you was naked
But some of you was light
The sands of time were falling
]from your fingers and your thumb
And you were waiting
For the miracle to come
Baby, lets get married
Weve been alone too long
Lets be alone together
Lets see if were that strong
Lets do something crazy
Something absolutely wrong
While were waiting
For the miracle to come
Chorus
When youve fallen on the highway
And youre lying in the rain
And they ask you how youre feeling
Of course you say you cant complain
If youre squeezed for information
Thats when youve got to play it dumb
You just say youre out there waiting
For the miracle to come

Chance it and stay with me
Chance it , share the the love I want to give
Chance it, you can always change your mind
Chance it, dont be so unkind
Let me pull you into my mind
Believe in me and set me free
Chase the love I hold inside
Rise above me, make love with me
Do you own the power to love?
Deep inside, forget your pride
Do you know the feeling is true?
Well if you do, its something new
Chorus
I can take you where youve never been
Ooh, connect with me
Lets up and run away
Ahhh, stay with me

How long will you hide behind
Those steely eyes?
Throw the barriers aside
And hold me tight
