SometimeAs I know that it's never enough SurvivAal is fine but satisfaction is rough I tEry with an angel tonight SpreaAd these wings and I'm on for the ride CruiAse these streets where my innocence hides TherEe's some things you C#mcan't deny A WF#mhat is it about this human condiAtion I nF#meed some kind of promise some kind A of submission tonight E
CHORUS
HeavBy Ain't it heavyA Ain't the night heavy E
D/A/E I'm feeling kinda loose I'm feeling kinda mean I've been feeling kinda wild since I turned 17 Or is it madness Tell me where can a woman find any kinda peace When does the fury and the agony cease How long have I got to say please There's a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade I've been riping out seams somebody else made tonight CHORUS CHORDS E A D G B E ------------------------- A 0 0 2 2 2 0 D 0 0 0 2 3 2 E 0 2 2 1 0 0 E6 0 2 2 1 2 0 B 0 0 4 4 4 2 C#m 0 0 6 6 5 4 F#m 2 4 4 2 2 2 D/A/E at end of chorus E --0--0--x--0--0--0- ------0--0--x--0------3------0--0--x--0---| A --0--0-x--0--0--0--------0--0--x--0---------2---2--2--x--2----| D--0--0--x--0--0--0--------2--2--x--2--------------2--2--x-2----| G--2--2--x--2--2--2--------2--2--x--2--------------1--1--x--1---| B --3--3--x--3--3--3--------2--2--x--2-------------0---0--x--0--| E--2---2--x--2--2--2--------0--0--x--0-------------0---0--x--0--| D u D u u D D u D u The general strum pattern is d u d(muted) u u d and the muted down strum can be replaced with the E6 on down strum. This is also transcribed from Melissa's MTV Unplugged performance so it's more acoustic than electric and played slower than the album version.
