Get Asus2up from a dream, and I look for rain
Take an amDsus2phetamine and a crushed rat brain
F#mHow am I feelin', better, I supDsus2pose
Asus2How am I lookin', I don't want the truth
Dsus2What am I doin', I ain't in my youth
F#mI'm past my prime, or was that just a Dsus2pose?
It's a Bmwonderful lie, I C#mstill get by on Dsus2those
Asus2I've been accused of never opening up
You Dsus2get too close, then I keep my mouth shut
Gonna F#mrun to the wind, where the big bad city Dsus2blows
