i do not own this song or any of the lyrics . i simply love the band .
i noticed a few album versions of the song but not the unplugged
( live ) version which has a additional ending as well as add – in lyrics
and different chords in places . this is the unplugged version with
the additional ending esc . i also find this version graceful with nice
backing vocals and a bass back – up , but because we are not all in
bands it sounds perfect solo .

this song gains in places and you really have to give
it a listen a few times to get the rhythm and vocals
down good . courtney has a way of pronouncing things
while she is singing , its a groove you have to get into
with practice . awesome song though , its worth it . fun
to play live or in your bedroom : ) if this was hard to
understand forgive me its my first try at this .
