Verse 1
used to be a pal of mine
A
G
I needed Calamine for the
irritated battle lines
Drawn across my chest
the mess no dollar signs
Could remedy from atoms
clear to Palestine.
This little guy with acid nine
If you tried to ask him "why,"
that plagued him
A
D
Like sheets blowing in the wind no one helped him
A
G
internalize the pain that let it tap the mind,
D
G
Till there's nothing left to learn
A
G
The brine writers, limelighters, talent- show crime fighters,
Hindsighters, looking back to trace the pain

Lies I'd say about my life and raising hell to every
I was daydreaming about the next friday,
The attitude would pass
when it arrived.
The thought of having children

Minor stage in my development,

With this year pin to let go,
Let it (go).
