some p**sing about in french
I poisoned myself but I survived the thrill of life
I altered my state of mind so I could fly
Travelled beyond my pedestrian ties my inocence and those sweet lies
I rode in that car as far as it would take me take me
g--2-2br-2-2br-2-2br------|
play twice end at the top (E5)
I don't need no gun walk into the sun
find what's goin' on find what's goin' down
I don't need no gun walk into your fun
fun into the sun to find what's goin'on
more bad french but very sincere
In this verse he plays something between riffs that I can't figure out, if someone knows it mail me
your velvet tears rolled down my back
your arms wrapped tight around me
I felt so good knowing that you could
let go with me
