    But there was always an urgent need to belong

     

    C5                   G5

    All these bands and all this people

    A5                    F5

    All these friends and we were equals but

    C5                 G5                   A5     F5

    What you gonna do when everybody goes on without you

    Started in '87 ended in '89 You got a garage or an amp we'll play anytime

    C5                                     G5           

        It was just the four of us, yeah man the core of us

    A5                                 F5

    Too much attention unavoidably destroyed us  

     

    C5                    G5

    Four kids on tour three thousand miles

    A5                      F5

    In a four door car not knowing what was going on

    C5                            G5                  

    You got a million years it would turn out like this

    I said this ain't no Mecca man, this place is fucked

     

    C5                       G5                     A5                    F5

    Three months go by he had no home he had no food he's all alone

    C5                       G5           

    Matty said fool me once shame on you
