VerseMCade my peace with it
With the higher power
The years in the spotlight
Were good to me now
But in comes the chance of a lifetime
To quietly see myself out
When the plCace was alive with it
And thick with drums
And you’d barely believe in
What I would become and
The coldest receptions would await me away
And at homeVerseThe sCeven inside
Would wait in wild disdain
GCive it unkindly to my face
But the drCain at the start pierced
The veil of the artifice
But I was too young to restrain
(MCmm)
‘Cos every star fire of invention thinks
That they are misunderstood
(CMmm)
But in the crossfire of resentment I was
Giving back when I could
But chCemical highs and clear blue skies await
Honey gold lightness in my face
CoCuldn’t take it farther
If I strained it any harder but I got
No right to complain
Pre-Chorus(G
Cimme some time)
To work out my feelings
(G
Cimme some time)
I’ll define what I need
(G
Cimme some time)
‘Cos it’s a plain and indestructible thing
That you don’t get **** for free
Uh- uh
