Biography:
From the mid 70's to the mid 80's, the Michael Stanley Band enjoyed a strong and fiercely loyal following, touring with some of the superstar bands of that period (including Bruce Springsteen, The Eagles, Foreigner and The Doobie Brothers); there were several Top-20 and Top-30 hits, among them "He Can't Love You" in 1980 and "My Town" in 1983, but it seemed the 'one great hit' never came--the kind of chartbuster that saw acts like Bob Seger, Bryan Adams, John Cougar (now Mellencamp), make their names and hometowns, literally, household words.

Romeo Is Bleeding
--words and music by Michael Stanley
[Verse]
G
I spoke with Jesus on the Internet
C G
At least that's who he said he was
G
And I asked him 'bout his father
C G
Why He allows the things He does
D
There was nothing for a moment
C Cmaj7 Am G
And then he wrote back "just because"
[Chorus]
C G
So I guess you take the truth where you can find it
C G
Throw caution to the wind if you don't mind it
C G
And reel it all back in when they unwind it
G D
And try and stop the needing
G
'Cause Romeo is bleeding...
C G
Romeo is bleeding...
[Verse]
G
You don't know what I know
C G
'Cause if you did then you'd be me
G
And looking in the mirror
C G
You might not like just what you see
D C
Or get blinded by reflections as you fly closer than
Cmaj7 Am G
Anyone should be
[Chorus]
C G
To that place where the lies black out the sun
C G
And where your secrets have no other place to run
C G
And the falling of the curtain has begun
G D
And everyone is leaving
G C
'Cause Romeo is bleeding...
G
Romeo is bleeding...
[Verse]
D C
Oh and lovers find their solace in the shadows down
G
The blocks...
D C G
Like misdirected sailors who can't quite see the rocks...
Cmaj7 Am
Where the jagged expectations of matters of the
D
Heart...tear them apart...
D
They hear the sirens singing
G C G C G C G C
Hey la ho la hey la ho la hey la ho la hey la ho la
G C G G G C G G D C Cmaj7 Am G
[Outro]
C G
So I guess you take the truth where you can find i
C G
Throw caution to the wind if you don't mind i
C G
Yeah and reel it all back in when they unwind i
D
And try and keep believin
G
'Cause Romeo is bleeding..
C G
Romeo is bleeding..
C G
Romeo is bleeding..
C G C G
Romeo is bleeding..
G
Hey la (can you hear the voice)
C
Ho la (can you hear 'em singin)
G
Hey la (singing sweet and lo)
C
Ho l
G
Hey la (now you raise your hand)
C
Ho la (gonna take a stand no)
G
Hey la (and follow where love goes)
C
Ho a
G
Hey la (come on, come on, come on)
C
Ho la (come on, come on, come on)
