I remember when I Emwas fifteen, me and FLiz would ride aroundDm  A  
We liked to smoke in the Emcar in the winter, with Fall the windows rolled DmdownA

I still remember the Emfeeling when I woke up, I can't desFcribe the magnitudeDm

GSo many other Dmdreams
The Gone that I had toDmday
EmYou and the Italian Fwoman, naked
Your Cfingers between her Flegs
She Glay like a body in the Dmwater

She Emfell as quiet, as Fquiet
As a Cleaf falling to the Dmground
