* Let chords ring. Use E chords & play with the each note in the chord *
Verse: 0:13- 1:00

That's my other hand, open and empty
it wants one too I guess
that's my other jaw, swollen and shameless
it talks too much I know
* Guitar Fill 1- To be played during verses *

it's seen too much I know

Don't think there's nothing
You're the queen of my side
You're wrong, and after me,
I was born to die
