d
color me once color me twice
everything gonna turn out nice
g
everlasting arms
d
you gotta keep me from these false alarms
alarm, alarm i see you sad
maybe i see you i'm glad
g d
maybe maybe the fire of her desire
patience patience said the man
patience patience i can't understand
g
patience like a man and a wife
d
i got patience on my neck like a cold cold knife
i say jack be nimble jack fall dead
jack bend over and give jilly head
g d
oh you gotta help my body heal my soul
bass solo:
verse 2:
d
dead men working a sinner a saint
mixing up a pail of paint
g
painted the house, black as night
d
when the sun came up the house was white
gotta go on
g
gotta go on
we gotta go on
d
you gotta go on
you gotta go on
g
go on
go on
d
try and live life like i couldn't
