AmPull it out, Cturn it up. What's your favorite F*song? AmThat's mine, I've been Ccrying to it since I was youF/C*ng. AmI know there's someone out Gthere feeling just like I fF/Ceel.

And we F/Cwaited Cfor the sGirens that never comAme. And we F/Conly write by the mCoon, with everGy word handwritteAmn. And to F/Cease the loss of yCouth, and how maGny years I've missed yoAmu. F/CPages plead forgiveCness, with evGery word handwritAmtenC. F* Am C F/C
[Verse]
AmLet it out, let me Cin, take a hold of my haF/C*nd. AmThere's nothing like anotherC soul that's been cut up the sF/C*ame. AmAnd did you wanna dGrive without a word in-Fbetween?
