verse
wake up – i’m nowhere , drifting dead
( keep inching forward you better find her )
i’m shot , i’m scratching snakes in my skin
( i want a fistfight , a cheap reminder )
i’m always answering everything
“when can i see you again?”

chorus

solo is the main riff/intro
followed by
Bm A E G F#
Bm
my little mischievous everything
F# D C# Bm
my little shot in the dark

main riff for this part

( i thought she wasn’t coming
almost gave up on waiting
so certain of disaster
i almost didn’t ask her
but i did . )
