Great expectations
Simmons

[Rhy. Fig 1]

[Rhy. Fig 2]
You're sittin' in your seat 
And then you stand and clutch your breast 
[Rhy. Fig 3c]
Our music drives you wild along with the rest 

[Rhy. Fig 4]
You watch me singing this song 
You see what my mouth can do 
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to 

[Rhy. Fig 4]
And you watch me playin' guitar 
And you feel what my fingers can do 
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to 
Well, listen 

[Rhy. Fig 6]
You've got great expectations 
[Rhy. Fig 7]
You've got great expectations 

[Rhy. Fig 2]
You're dying to be seen 
And you wave and call my name 
[Rhy. Fig 3b]
But in the day it seems that I'm a million miles away 

[Rhy. Fig 4]
You watch me beatin' my drum 
And you know what my hands can do 
And you wish you were the one I was doing it to 
Well, listen 

[Rhy. Fig 6]
You've got great expectations 
You've got great expectations 
[Rhy. Fig 7]
You've got great expectations 

[Rhy. Fig 2]
[Rhy. Fig 3c]

[Rhy. Fig 5]
Then you feels these eyes from the stage 
And you see me staring at you 
And you hear between the lines, my voice is calling to you 
Well, listen 

[Rhy. Fig 6]
You've got great expectations 
You've got great expectations 
You've got great expectations, do you want to play the role 
You've got great expectations, you'd even sell me your soul 

(repeat and fade)
