Intro(1) 2x

(1)

I never was the one who had my head on straight

(1)

So I got myself this job and now I’m praying everyday

(2)

for my bags to be inspected

(3)

(for) some crazy reason I’m always suspected

of smuggling something through, like smoke or dope

or airplane glue (??????)

chorus

(4)

I know you got something to believe in

Down deep inside your soul

Hey friend, don’t you stop believing

In the dreams that you had

When you were just a lad

(can I have a little more high-end up here?)

repeats everything for the second verse and chorus

(1)

can I have a little more vocal up here, sorry

end on e—(3)-

Jam with something like:

For those who are guitar scholars, it's just C Ionian
