It's My Life
(Max Martin / Jon Bon Jovi / Richie Sambora)
This ain't a song for the
broken-hearted
No silent prayer for faith departed
And I ain't
gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When
I shout it out loud
Chorus:
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to
live while I'm alive (It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm
alive, It's my life
This is for the ones who stood
their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's
getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make
your own breaks
Repeat chorus
Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
Repeat chorus
Say It Isn't
So
(Billy Falcon / Jon Bon Jovi)
I just can't believe
It was all a lie
No man
in the moon
Just a big light in the sky
I hear Disneyland
Might lose Mickey Mouse
In some giant hostile corporate shake-up
Tell me it's a nightmare
Please wake me up
(Say it isn't so)
I found a book of matches
From someplace we've never been
How come you hang the phone up the minute I walk in
Last night I
had this dream
That I was losing you
I woke up in a cold sweat
shaking
Rescue me my heart is breaking
Chorus 1
Say it isn't so (tell me it's not true)
Say it isn't so (I believe
in you)
Tell me it's a lie (I don't need no proof)
Say
everything's alright (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so
Superman don't fly
They did it all with strings
Elvis Presley died
They deep fried the king
Like some tacky
cheesy bathing beauty
Dancing on the beach in a bad b-movie
Repeat chorus 1
Chorus 2
Say it isn't so (don't give up on me)
Say it isn't so
(don't give up on you)
Get me through the night (we'll make it
through)
Make everything alright (couldn't be, not you)
Say it
isn't so..
Repeat chorus 1
Repeat chorus 2
Thank You For Loving Me
(Jon Bon Jovi / Richie Sambora)
It's hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There's no one here but you and me
And that broken old street
light
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've
got to give to you
Are these five words when I
Chorus:
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I
couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank
you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
I
never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into
your eyes
The sky's a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no
disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
That you believed my lies
Repeat chorus
You pick me up
when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I
was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue
me
Solo
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are
these five words when I
Repeat chorus
When I couldn't fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my
lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you
for loving me
Thank you for loving me,
For loving me
Two Story Town
(Grakal Dean / Hudson Mark / Richie Sambora / Jon Bon Jovi)
I couldn't sleep
Took a walk down 2nd Avenue
Sick
of dreaming dreams that never come true
One way street and I know
where its leading to
There's a "For Sale" sign on the front door of
the city hall
The subway line got graffiti crawling off the wall
I
could take a hit but I ain't gonna take the fall
That's
just one side of the story
In the two story town
Chorus:
It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I'm gonna take my car and drive out of this two story town
The
same old ship, it's going 'round
I'm going down, down, down, down,
down
In a two story town
There's a girl that I
sleep with
Got ecstasy eyes
He promised her roses and American pie
I called her and my demons
I kissed them both goodbye
Seven days of Monday morning
In this two story town
Repeat chorus
One shot to make a move now
The ghosts are calling me out
Guitar solo
And me I'm just one story
In a
two story town
But you're never gonna find me in the lost and found
Repeat chorus
Chorus 2:
It's just the same old sights and the same old sounds
I'm gonna take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round
I
won't give in and I won't back down
I'm going down, down, down, down
down
Never going down, down, down, down, down
I ain't going down,
down, down, down, down
In a two story town
In this two story town
Next 100 Years
(Jon Bon Jovi / Richie Sambora)
Time ain't nothing but time
It's a verse
with no rhyme
Man, it all comes down to you
Change
ain't nothing but change
Just the faces and the names
But you know
we're gonna make it through
I'll believe
When you
don't believe in anything
Chorus:
I'm gonna
hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should
end tonight
I'll know it was worth the fight
And we'll be standing
here
For the next 100 years
I, when I think
that I'm losing my mind
It all comes back to you
And you, you know that it's true
After all we've been through
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Stand by me
And I would gladly give up everything
Repeat
chorus
Guitar solo
Repeat chorus
Time ain't nothing but time
It's
a verse with no rhyme
Man, it all comes down to you
Just Older
(Billy
Falcon / Jon Bon Jovi)
Hey, man,
it's been a while
Do you remember me?
When I hit the streets I was
17
A little wild, a little green
I've been up and down and in
between
After all these years and miles and memories
I'm still
chasing dreams
But I ain't looking over my shoulder
Chorus:
I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's just like me,
it's broken in
It's not old -- just older
Like a favorite pair of
torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in it's alright with me
It's not old
-- just older
It's good to see your face
You
ain't no worse for wear
Breathing that California air
When we took
on the world
We were young and brave
We got secrets that we'll
take to the grave
And we're standing here shoulder to shoulder
Repeat chorus
I'm not old enough to sing the blues
But I wore the holes in the
soles of these shoes
You can roll the dice 'til they call your bluff
But you can't win until you're not afraid to lose, yeah
Solo
Well, I look in
the mirror
I don't hate what I see
There's a few more lines
staring back at me
Now the nights have grown a little bit colder
Hey man, I gotta run
You take care
If you see coach T. tell
him I've cut my hair
I kept my faith
I still believe I'm
just…
Repeat chorus
Mystery Train
(Billy Falcon / Jon Bon Jovi)
There are days when she's a whisper
Nights when she's a scream
A reason to wake up in the morning
To close your eyes and dream
She'll curse you like a sailor
And wound you with her eyes
She always makes it better
But
won't apologize
You know everything about her but don't
know her at all
Chorus:
She's a ride on a
mystery train
To a place you've never been before
Better hold on
tight to that mystery train
You're not in Kansas anymore
She's a
ride
Mystery train
She cries because she's
happy
She sings songs when she's mad
Like a stiff drink when you
need it
She's good at being bad
And long before you
knew her you knew she was the one
Repeat chorus
Solo
I know
everything about her but don't know her at all
Repeat
chorus
She's a ride
On a mystery train
Save the World
(Jon Bon
Jovi)
I never went to college
I
don't have a degree
Let's say I went to night school
I learned all
I know on the streets
I wasn't born a rich man
I ain't got no
pedigree
The sweat on this old collar
That's my Ph.D.
It comes down to this
I wouldn't exist
Without you it ain't worth the grind
I'd fight for one kiss
On
a night like this
You make me feel I could fly, like
Chorus:
I can save the world
Since the night your love
saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Maybe I can save the world
I've gotta confess
Sometimes I'm a mess
Sometimes I step out of line
Like this
old tattoo
I ain't shiny or new
With you by my side nothing
matters
Repeat chorus
Guitar
solo
They can say it's blind love
But it's a
fool who don't believe
That I'd fly all the way to the moon
Just
to walk you down your street
I can save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Our love is even
stronger
Than God hoped it could be
Baby, all it takes is
Just
a little faith in me
To feel like
I can save the world
I can
save the world
Captain Crash and the
Beauty Queen From Mars
(Jon Bon Jovi / Richie
Sambora)
Dressed
up for a big date
Like Halloween day but it was Fourth of July now
A car crash with a suitcase and a painted face
She was one of a
kind
She wears a plastic crown like Cinderella
And roller skates
in bed
He rides the Greyhound from his hometown
When crash comes around 'cause they don't let him drive now
Mixed
up as a milkshake
But make no mistake
They're shooting for the
stars
Chorus:
You and me
We're invincible
together
We can be oh so tragical, whatever
Dressed up just like
Ziggy but he couldn't play guitar
Captain Crash and the beauty queen
from Mars
Share a toothpick, trading lipstick
Watching traffic for days at the diner
Holding hands, making big
plans
Playing Superman, he was wearing eyeliner
Another local
legend and his longtime lucky charm
Repeat chorus
They're drunk on love as you can get
Getting high on lust and cigarettes
Living life with no regrets
At least they're gonna try to fly
Chorus:
You and me
We're invincible together
We can be oh so tragical,
whatever
We're Sid and Nancy
Fred and Ginger
Clyde and Bonnie
Liz and Richard
Kurt and Courtney
Bacall and Bogie
Joltin'
Joe and Ms. Monroe
Here's Captain Crash and the beauty queen from Mars
Captain Crash and the beauty queen from Mars
She's A Mystery
(Stuart Peter / Gerg Wells /
Jon Bon Jovi)
She won't let me
buy her jewelry
She don't want things that she can keep
She wears
wild flowers in her hair
Then throws them to the sea
She's the
beginning and the end of me but
Chorus:
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
I will
never understand her
She's a mystery
I still don't
know what to call her
She says that words don't mean a thing
She
changes her name every day
And lies all the time
I feel lucky to
call her mine but
Chorus:
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
I will never
understand her
She's a mystery
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me
She's anything in
the world
That you cannot explain
But when she throws me a smile
It's like fire in the rain but
Repeat chorus
She's a mystery
There's no defense
It's innocence
But she won't let you see
'Cause she's a
mystery
I Got the Girl
(Jon Bon Jovi)
It feels like I'm walkin' on air
Walk down our
street
When the neighbors stop to watch us going by
You can hear
'em talking (let them talk)
Sometimes I think that you're the only
reason
The sun still shines (when it shines)
And when this wicked
world starts bringing me down
I tell myself that I'm one lucky guy
Chorus:
I got the girl (holding all the cards)
I got the girl (she's a work of art)
I got the girl (who's gonna
break my heart)
She likes to wear her stripe with
her plaids
Won't brush her hair (I swear)
She don't like wearing
shoes in December
But I don't care what she wears
Repeat chorus
If I was a holy
man I'd get down on my knees
So the angels that watch over her would
give a break to me
Holy Mother of saint bubble gum and Sister band-aid
knees
Won't you please pray for the ones like me
But the truth is someday
Somebody is gonna take her from me
But
the queen of hearts will always be
A five-year-old princess to me (to
me)
Repeat chorus
Chorus 2:
I got the girl (she's gonna leave her mark)
I got the girl (she's
a work of art)
I got the girl (she's gonna break your heart)
I got
the girl, oh yeah
I got the girl, I got the girl
She's gonna…I got
the girl, yeah
I got the girl, I got the girl
I got the girl
One Wild
Night
(Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Desmond Child)
It's a hot night, the natives are
restless
We're sweating by the light of the moon
There's a voodoo
mojo brewing at the go-go
That would knock a witch off her broom
We slither on in and shed our skin
Make our way
into the bump and the grind
I'm passing by, she gives me the eye
So I stop to give her a light
Na-na-na-na-na-na….alright!
Chorus:
One wild night (blinded by the moonlight)
One wild night
(24 hours of midnight)
One wild night (I stepped into the twilight
zone
And she left my heart with vertigo)
One wild, one wild, one
wild, one wild night
Havin' as much fun as you can
in your clothes
Margarita had me feelin' alright
Just might be I
found religion
I've been on my knees for half of the night
I'm
rolling the bones with Jimmy 'no dice'
Gonna take him for a couple
weeks' pay
"Man, if you lose this roll I take your girlfriend home"
So I stopped
But you're not gonna believe who comes walking out
Chorus 2
One wild night (blinded by the
moonlight)
One wild night (24 hours of midnight)
One wild night (I
stepped into the twilight zone
And she left my heart with vertigo)
One wild night (hey, c'est la vie)
One wild night (welcome to the
party)
One wild night (life is for the living so
You gotta live it
up, come on let's go)
One wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night
Guitar solo
Na-na-na-na-na-na…
Repeat chorus 2
One wild night, one wild night
One
wild night (blinded by the moonlight)
One wild night (24 hours of
midnight)
One wild night (I stepped into the twilight zone)
One
wild, one wild, one wild, one wild night

Neurotica
(Additional bonus track for
Australia)
Looking like a train
wreck
Sipping on her long neck
This ain't no model-actress
She's attitude and accent (alright)
Angel flying
solo
Must have gone and sold your halo
She's accidental innocence
And white trash elegance (alright)
She's all mixed
up
Lays in bed 'til 3
All messed up
She's eccentricity
Chorus:
Neurotica
Lay your love all over me
Come on, baby, go a little crazy on me
Erotica
Every school
boy's fantasy
Not your ordinary woman
But she's extraordinary to
me
She got a daily new addiction
A walking
contradiction
Chain smoking cigarettes
Talking to her silhouette
(alright)
All mixed up
A little out of time
All
messed up
But she don't really mind
Chorus:
Neurotica
Lay your love all over me
Come on, baby, go a little
crazy on me

Every school boy's fantasy
She's not your

And when I call
her I call her
Solo
Chorus:
Neurotica
Lay your love all over me
Come on, baby, go a little
crazy on me
Erotica
Every school boy's fantasy
Not your
ordinary woman
But she's extraordinary to me
