Start Jamming...
[E] Hey man, I got what you need!
[N] And the little one wanted something so badly that [E] it possessed [G] your [E] body and your soul through the night and through the day until you finally get it.
And then you realise that it wasn't what you [N] wanted after all.
And then those self-same [E] sickly little thoughts now go [N] and attach themselves to something or somebody new.
And the whole goddamn thing starts all over again.
Well [E] I've been crushing the symptoms but [F] I can't locate the cause.
[G] Could God [Am] really be so cruel [C] to give us feelings [D] that could
[E] [Am]
[Em] Up [A] my side, [C] sit on you.
[D] [E]
Up [Am] my [C] side, [G] sit [E] on you.
And [A] someday, [C] someday, [D] [E] someday, yeah.
[A] [Am] [G]
[C] [A] You [E] come my way, but [A] when you put your arms [C] around me, [D] [E] [Am] [E]
I'll [A] be [C] looking over your shoulder [G] for something [E] new.
Cause I ain't never [Bm] found peace [A] upon the breast of a girl.
[Em] I ain't never [Bm] found peace [A] with the religion of the world.
[Em] I ain't [Bm] never found peace [A] at the bottom of a glass.
Sometimes [C] it seems the more [G] I [E] ask for, the less I receive.
Sometimes [A] it seems [C] the more [D] I ask [E] for, the less I receive.
[Em] The only true [Am]
freedom [Em] [C] is freedom from [G] the [E] heart's desires.
And the only [A] true [G] happiness [F] this [E]
way lies.
