John Anthony Frusciante (born in New York on March 5th 1970) though probably best known for his time as guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, is a respected, acclaimed and prolific solo artist in his own right. Joining the Chili Peppers in 1988 after the death of Hillel Slovak, the band's original guitarist, Frusciante was featured on both Mother's Milk and Blood Sugar Sex Magik. However, John's rise was short lived. On May 7th, 1992, John quit the band just before the Chili Peppers were due on stage.

[Verse 2]
GDAmEm And things come back you see GDAmEm To where they don't belong GDAmEm And every drop of sea GDAmB7 Is the whole ocean ooooohh
[Chorus]
CD#dim I lied to the greatest thieves EmD About anything and everything CD#dimEm I'm a figure of forgotten speech D I'm our of reach CG I can't play it safe AmB7 But I might just in case
