[Riff 4] x1 /w lyrics:
You can take me for a little while.
You can take me you can make me smile in the end.
[Riff 2] x1
[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:
Well I can shine like you shine, it don't make me brighter.
But if I think like you think, it don't make my load much lighter.
[Riff 2] x1
(Now the phaser is used in an opposite fashion - for the chords and it is
left out from the single notes.)
[Riff 2] x1 much softer
[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:
Well I can see what you mean, it just takes me longer.
And I can feel what you feel, it just makes me stronger.
