Biography:
(For the 70s British rock band, see Mr Big.)
Mr. Big combined two popular musical trends of the rock scene in the mid to late 80s: a particular brand of hard rock focused on melodies and listener-friendly choruses made for the arena, and impressive technical proficiency, then called shredding. The seeds for the group were sown when bass player Billy Sheehan (considered one of the top bassists of rock, often thought to be the bass equivalent of guitarist Eddie Van Halen) left David Lee Roth's solo band in 1988.

I recently got a request for help with this one. Note that this has not been completely worked out,
should act as a foundation for you to work on. I found a little help for this from a friend of mine.
Notes: Rhy Fig 1 is played for the intro and also through the verses. Rhy Fig 2 is played during
chorus.
The intro sections should be played with distortion, so turn the gain up! The chorus
is played with very light distortion with some sort of a wave-like effect added.

The lyrics:
Verse 1: Lost and alone in this city of darkness
Empty of lovers and full of lies
You build a wall between your dreams and the madness
I reach out my hand, but you run and hide
Pre chorus 1: I've watched you cry in the rain
I wanna bring back the joy again
Chorus 1: Open your heart to mine
I believe, I believe
You might be lucky this time
You might be lucky this time
Verse 2: No guarantees when you risk your emotion
So you surrender and it all went astray
Bitter and hopeless in your cold isolation
But you my love won't ever fade away
Pre chorus 2: I wanna dry all your tears, yes
You know there's nothing to fear, baby
Chorus 2: (Same as chorus 1)
Bridge: And when the shadows start to fall
Let my love break down the walls
