[Intro]
Riff 1a x3
Riff 1b x1
Verse 1 (Riff 1a):
You say that you need love
just like a kid on crack
I got a feeling that what you want is kind of holding you back
Verse 2 (Riff 1a):
You say you can't find your feet
under the morning sun I got a feeling that what you are,
might just be blowing away your mind
Chorus 1 (Riff 1a):
Thought I talking about a new religion
Raining on the outside, lost in the fog
I was only dreaming of a revolution
Waiting for the right time,
Watching the clock
