Well, there's Whir for you. I still can't figure out the
E's and other chords under the chorus (Whir yourself around...
part) . Enjoy it. Hope
it's not too confusing (I didn't wanna tab out repetitive
lines) and it helps out. Please send comments to
Lyrics:
I've wasted all my years
Been chasin' all my fears
For another
Brighter than you
I gave in long ago
To make it to the show
It's not easy
When you're alone
All your prayers
In my ears
Don't you care?
Whir yourself around
Just to fall back down
Whir yourself around
My harlot/honey little girl
C'mon lets go for a whirl
It's too early
Sun is sleeping
She says she wants to marry me
She says she wants a baby
It's not easy
When you're scared
Whir yourself around
Just to fall back down
Whir yourself around
All your prayers
In my ears
Don't you care?
