All I’ve ev er done is hide,

from our times

of when me you’re would ar near me.

gue.

Hon Hon ey, ey, when we you should run kill a the lights, way,

and kiss oh my some eyes, day,

our I feel like a per son for a mo ment of my life.

But (Fm)You don’t know what hell you put me through,

to have some one kiss the skin that crawls from you,

to feel your weight in arms I’d nev er use,

it’s the God that he ro in prays to...

It feels (CN.C.)good, girl, it feels good, it feels good, girl it feels good, it feels good, girl it feels good, oh to (CN.C.)be a lone with you.

(Fm)Ooh,

Ooh,

(Fm)There are ques tions I can’t crowds, ask,

with now at last

the when worst they’re is o play ver, the an see thems the of way you rape cul hold ture your loud, self,

I know that you hate this place,

not a trace

of when me you’re would ar near me.

But (Fm)I don’t know what else that I would do,

than try to one kiss the skin that crawls from you,

than feel your weight in arms I’d nev er use,

it’s the God that he ro in prays to...

It feels (CN.C.)good, girl, it feels good, it feels good, girl it feels good, it feels good, girl it feels good, oh to (CN.C.)be a lone with you.

(Fm)Ooh,

ooh,

ooh.

Ooh,
