You Had Me From Hello

Posted on by

Chords and lyrics for You Had Me From Hello by Bon Jovi

At the mirror you fix your hair and put your makeup on
You’re insecure about what clothes to wear
I can’t see nothing wrong
To me you look so beautiful when you can’t make up your mind
It’s half past eight, it’s getting late
It’s OK, take your time

Standing here my hands in my pockets

Like I have a thousand times
Thinking back it took one breath
One word to change my life

 
Chorus: 
The first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello

 
Chorus: 
From the first time I saw you it felt like coming home
 
Chorus: 
The first time I saw you it felt like coming home

Without Love

Chords and lyrics for Without Love by Bon Jovi

 
 
D 
– 
 
 
B 
 
D 
 
A 

She wasn’t young, but still a child

There was still innocence, in painted smiles
She called to me, as I passed her by
Lady of the night, looked in my eye
She said: I been through some changes
But one thing always stays the same

Without love, there’s nothing without love

Nothing else can get through the night
Nothing else feels right without love

I saw a man down on lonely street

A broken man who looked like me
And no one knows the pain that he’s been living
He lost his love and still hasn’t forgiven
He said: I’ve been through some changes
But one thing always always stays the same

Without love, there’s nothing without love

Nothing else can get through the night
Nothing else feels right without love
There’s nothing without love
Nothing else but love can burn as bright
 
And nothing would mean nothing without love
silence 
 
silence 
I see my life
I was afraid
But I won’t be afraid no more

Without love, there’s nothing without love

Nothing else can get through the night
Nothing else feels right without love
There’s nothing without love
Nothing else but love can burn as bright
And nothing would mean nothing without love
repeat & fade

Wild In The Streets

Chords and lyrics for Wild In The Streets by Bon Jovi

Joey comes from a sacred part of town
 
Where sometimes you talk so tough
 
And the sidewalk soldiers sing their midnight blues
 
While the old men recite their story li
 
nes
They say: oh yeah
We were cruising to the backbeat
Oh yeah, making love in the backseats
intro chords 
We were wild, wild in the streets
