D             Em7       C
She said good day boy,
G         D       Em7   C     G
are you ready to shake
D         Em7        C
I said I love noise
G           D           Em7
and this life that it makes
C             G
See I have a line
                         C
though it's subject to change
               G
I once had a thought
                    C
but then I gave it away
                 G
Yeah sooner or later

D             Em7       C
I said I love time
G         D       Em7   C     G
but never ever this long

C             G
See I have a line
                         C
though it's subject to change
               G

(I am not sure about this verse, I always improv and it works, so just do what you want 
it)  I just know that I start with an E, then G but after that I don't know, I'm really

Like the sun surely loves

Like all oceans love their waves

I'm perfect to stay
