JOHN FRUSCIANTE - LOOK ON
From INSIDE OF EMPTINESS, released
on October 26th, 2004
----------------------------------------------
I used double the space per bar for the guitar
solo so that I have enough room for grace notes
and stuff. The outro is full of feedback, which
has been written above the tab - small letters
mean lower pitch.
I can't get through
Knots in my mind
I resent
The self I can't find
I can't get through
A paper and a pencil
Are the best friends I’ve got
I went to downtown LA.
Got picked up by the cops
I didn't get what I wanted
But I didn't care a lot
I saw that life was kidding
Look on
I'm warning you
I skipped a life
To be here
I’ve got no right
I'm bad luck
I used to feel a lot
Things used to be alright
so much was going on
I'm empty now inside
When I thought life was terrible
Things were going fine
Vincent called as a set up
Look on
(GUITAR SOLO)
It's not right
I lost my fame
It's a cheap trick
I wanna do it again
I've got no life
I am a separate entity
From the guy I was before
Here nobody wants me
I hoped for something more
I flip through empty pages
That I thought I wrote on
I can't tell what is dreaming
Look on
