[Intro]
Em Em Em Em
[Verse 1]
EmIt's your life
EmDon't you let them tell you when to bat your eyes
EmYou're the only one who's going to sacrifice
EmMakes no difference if you're right or wrong
EmTake that ride
EmBut I want your little sister by your side
EmMaybe little later Ewe can all collide
EDo our living like a rolling stoneEm

EmTime on me is wasted time
EmTime on me is wasted time
EmTime on me is wasted time
EmTime on me is wastedD  A

EBaby's going to give it like it used to be
EBaby's going to give it like it used to beEm

EmLiving in the shadows like you got no name
Em'Nough to make a little girly go insane
