Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

I was gripped with a bit of fear

 worried the one thing that I loved

 back when I was just a kid

 might now never be enough

 that the body I was in

 might belong to someone else

 Someone kinder, Someone surer, Someone innocent, young and beautiful

 someone purer, that's the one I know

I was scratching at my skin hopin changes would begin

 but what laid beneath was blood

 well of course what the hell was I thinking of

 won't you take me down to the creek wash away our sins of sleep

I feel so tired as though I might

 not wake at all on the other side.... that's no way to go

Chorus

Oh my dear one

bathe me in your glow

cut out my lonely heart

and bury it in the snow

nothing really means nothing

is the saddest thing I know

so deliver me from sin

and give me rock and roll

NOTE:

From here the rest of the song follows the same format. Hopefully you get the gist of it. ENJOY!

ADDITIONAL LYRICS:

And in the morning there'll be hope

and in the morning there'll be light

and if I sleep and dream up a system

a solution

to fend off perils of the night

come on in, I'll be born again

born again as someone else

Someone kinder

Someone surer

Someone beautiful

someone purer

and when I am you'll know

and when I am you'll know

Oh might one

the devil knows my name

will salvation come

and wash away my pain?

for I was once a kid

with a pure and innocent soul

so deliver me from sin

and give me rock and roll

Give me rock and roll

Give me rock and roll

a pure and innocent soul

and a pure and innocent soul

Give me rock and roll

Give me rock and roll

and a pure and innocent soul

and a pure and innocent soul
