1. What'll you do when you get lonely,  No one waiting by your side?
2. Try to gove you consolation, Your old man he let you down.
3. Make the best of the situation, before I finally go insane.

You've been runnin' and hidin' too long.  You know it's just your foolish.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you. You turned my whole world uspside.
Please don't say we'll never find a way. Tell me all my love's in vain.

yeah, i agree, oh and great tab by the way!
where does it say hes better than clapton?
I can't believe what I just read. Is this guy on crack. I would like to see this guy sit down with Clapton and try to keep up. Everyone has a style and yes his is blues. There is more to Clapton then just the radio songs. I suggest you look into it so YES, ITS JUST YOU. I can only imagine what comes outta this guys amp.
