The Great Wall Of China

[Intro]   Ah ah ah ah   Ah ah ah ah   Ah ah ah ah ah ah   Ah ah ah ah   Ah ah ah ah   Ah ah ah ah  ah ah [Interlude]    |    |    |    | [Verse 1]   Advice is cheap you can take it from me   It’s yours to keep ’cause opinions are free   Nobody knows ’bout the trouble I’ve seen   Nobody’s perfect mister nobody’s clean   It costs too much and takes too long to find out too late   Some words are not heard ’til after they’re spoken   Your role was protective your soul was too defective   Some people just don’t have a heart to be broken [Chorus]   We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China   If you’d only had a little more faith in me                In lieu of diamonds gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright   All the king’s men and all the king’s horses   Can’t put you together the way you used to be         We could have been standing on the Great Wall of China [Interlude]    |    |    |    | [Verse 2]   You take a piece of whatever you touch   Too many pieces means you’re touching too much   You never win if you can’t play it straight   You only beat me if you get me to hate   It must be   so lonely  to think that you have only   Somebody else’s life to live if they let you   I ain’t too selective but it don’t take no detective   To find out  how fast your friends will forget you [Chorus]   We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China   Now all you’re going to be is history              Help yourself it’s all you can eat at the Empire Diner tonight        You coulda had class you could have been a contender Charlie you shoulda looked out for me                You could have been standing standing on the Great Wall of Chi -  na   Ah ah ah ah   Ah ah ah ah   Ah ah ah ah ah ah   Ah ah ah ah   Ah ah ah ah   Ah ah ah ah  ah ah [Solo]    |    |    |    |    |    |    |     | [Verse 3]   This was not  your calling just look how far you’ve fallen   I heard your story man you’ve got to be joking   Keep things in  perspective this is my true objective   Why tear this heart out if it’s only been broken? [Chorus]   We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China   If you’d only had a little more faith in me               In lieu of diamonds gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright   All the king’s men and all the king’s horses Can’t put you together the way you used to be                We could have been standing standing on the Great Wall of Chi -  na [Outro] (X4 times)   Ah ah ah ah   Ah ah ah ah Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh   Ah ah ah ah   Ah ah ah ah Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
