[Part I: Funeral for a Friend]

[Instrumental]

[Part II: Love Lies Bleeding]

[Verse 1] The roses in the window box have tilted to one side Everything about this house was born to grow and die Oh, it doesn't seem a year ago to this very day You said, "I'm sorry, honey, if I don't change the pace I can't face another day"

[Chorus] And love lies bleedin' in my hands Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man I was playin' rock and roll, and you were just a fan But my guitar couldn't hold you, so I split the band Love lies bleedin' in my hands

[Verse 2] I wonder if those changes have left a scar on you Like all the burnin' hoops of fire that you and I passed through You're a bluebird on a telegraph line, I hope you're happy now Well, if the wind of change comes down your way, girl You'll make it back somehow

[Chorus] And love lies bleedin' in my hands Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man I was playin' rock and roll, and you were just a fan But my guitar couldn't hold you, so I split the band Love lies bleedin' in my hands

[Instrumental Break 07:52-09:08] [Guitar Solo]

[Chorus] And love lies bleedin' in my hands Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man I was playin' rock and roll, and you were just a fan But my guitar couldn't hold you, so I split the band Love lies bleedin' in my hands

[Outro] Oh! Oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh Love lies bleedin' in my hands Ooh-hoo! Ooh-hoo! Ooh-hoo! Ooh-hoo! Ooh-hoo! Ooh-hoo! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
