Chords Of Life Lyrics
Joe Satriani
Lyrics
semi-charmed lifesingle version
:third eye blind
do-do-do do-do-do-doo...
i'm packed and i'm holding, i'm smiling,
she's living, she's golden, she lives for me
she says she lives for me
ovation, her own motivation
she comes round and she goes down on me
and i make her smile like a drug for you
do ever what you want to do
coming over you
keep on smiling what we go through
one stop to the rhythm that divides you
and i speak to you like the chorus to the verse
chop another line like a coda with a curse
and i come on like a freak show takes the stage
we give them the games we play, she said
i want something else
to get me through this
to get me through this life, baby
semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
i'm not listening when you say
good-bye
the sky was gold, it was rose
i was taking sips of it through it my nose
and i wish it could get back there
some place back there
in the place we used to star
smiling in the pictures you would take
doing crystal meth will lift you up until you break
it won't stop, i won't come down
i keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the drop
and then i bumped up, i took the hit that i was given
then i bumped again, and then i bumped again, said
how do i get back there
to the place where i fell asleep inside you
how do i get myself back to
the place where you said
i believe in the sand beneath my toes
the beach gives a feeling an earthy feeling
i believe in the faith that grows
and the four right chords can make me cry
when i'm with you i feel like i could die
and that would be all right, all right
