  Intro:|  | | X2 

      
 I'd walk a thousand miles for you, honey
                                   
 I'd walk a thousand miles in the sun
                               
 I'd give up both my eyes if I could
           
 Make you realise
                              
 why can't you see that I'm the one?

 Wish I could buy a limousine
 I'd fill it up and I'd pick you up and
 I'd Drive you to your dreams
 But when you get out on the highway
 Life is seldom as it seems
 when the car breaks down
 You start blaming me
  
 CHORUS:
 
                        
 Moonshine bleeds into the dawn
                             
 Who am I to say for you what's right
               
 And what is wrong?
                        
 When you're gone, gone, gone
                  
 The world will carry on
                                     
 You're like a song, song, song
               
 Who's melody is wrong
                                  
 But its so, so hard to say "so long"to you
                    
 My long lost love

 INTRO

 Many a man has sold his soul for silver
 Silver ain't worth nothing next to gold
 Some believe that diamonds shine forever
 But they offer little comfort when you're old

 And you can't take it with you when you're gone
 Its the same end for the weak as for the strong
 And if beauty is skin deep
 Then why don't it come more cheap?
 why can't you and I just get along?
