Otis Redding Lyrics

As recorded by Everclear on "SFAAM #1: Learning How to Smile"
Do you remember when we were hungry
Do you remember when we were cold
Do you remember when we were happy
Do you remember, do you remember
Do you remember when we were lucky
We were living the life almost every night
I would wrap you in my thin white arms
Sit and watch the stars die
Aye aye aye aye aye
Yeah do you remember when we were the losers
Do you remember when we were the lame
Do you remember when we were the lovers
Do you remember, do you remember
Do you remember when we were strung out
Eating top ramen and macaroni and cheese
We would get so lost in that basement room
Let Otis Redding sing us to sleep
I wish that I had one more life
I don't want to be wasted
I don't want to live inside this daydream anymore
I just want to be happy again
I don't want to be wasted
I don't want to be blind
I don't want to be wasted
I don't want to live inside this daydream anymore
I just want to be happy again
I don't want to be wasted, I don't want to be blind
I don't want to be wasted, I don't want to be blind
I don't want to be wasted, I don't want to be blind
pm.................................
I wish I could be like all my heroes
pm.................................
I wish I could be like all yours too
pm.................................
I wish I could sing like Otis Redding
pm..............
I wish I could play this guitar in tune
Do you remember when we were hungry
Do you remember when we were cold
Do you remember when we were happy
in a way no one outside could ever know
I wish that I had one more life
How I wish that I had one more life to live
I don't want to be wasted
I don't want to live inside this daydream anymore
I just want to be happy again
I don't want to be wasted
I don't want to be blind
I don't want to be wasted
I don't want to live inside this daydream anymore
I just want to be happy again
I don't want to be wasted I don't want to be
I don't want to be wasted I don't want to be
|pm...................................... |
I don't want to be wasted I don't want to be blind
Oh I don't want to be blind
No I don't want to be blind
Suggestion by Brett Paragow (Bretparago@aol.com)
On your site, you have the intro to Otis Redding listed as being off of a G
barre chord. I disagree and am fairly sure its the same rhythmic strumming
pattern on the same strings but rather played off of an open chord G.
