Em Em D D
Sometimes life it takes you by the hand
C C D D
It puts you down before you know it
G G D D
It's gone and you're dead again
Em Em D D
I've been in places and I won't pretend
C C D D
That I make it I just
G G D D Em Em
Follow my head
Em Em D D
When it's strange to take a walk downstairs
C C D D
Sweep you all up on a corner
G G D D
And pay for my bread
Em Em D D
You know that I cannot believe my own truth
C C D D
To show what a truth
G G D D Em Em
Got nothing to lose

Em Em D D
Yeah yeah and it's okay
C C D D
I tie my hands up to a chair
G G D D
So I don't fall that way
Em Em D D
Yeah yeah and I'm alright
C C D D
I took a sip of something poison
G G D D Em Em
But I'll hold on tight

About this song: Helena Beat

The Helena Beat Songfacts says that bass player Cubbie Fink explained at the Lollapalooza festival that the song is about: "The facade in Hollywood that there's all these young, beautiful people partying in this drug culture and getting lost in it. They're searching for the fountain of youth." http://t.opsp.in/P4Uw A download link as provided in their mailing list email.
