D

Color me once color me twice

Everything gonna turn out nice

G

Everlasting arms

D

You gotta keep me from these false alarms

Alarmalarm I see you sad

Maybe I see you I'm glad

G d

Maybe maybe the fire of her desire

Patience patience said the man

Patience patience I can't understand

G

Patience like a man and a wife

D

I got patience on my neck like a cold cold knife

I say jack be nimble jack fall dead

Jack bend over and give jilly head

G d

Oh you gotta help my body heal my soul

Bass solo:

Verse 2:

D

Dead men working a sinner a saint

Mixing up a pail of paint

G

Painted the houseblack as night

D

When the sun came up the house was white

Gotta go on

G

Gotta go on

We gotta go on

D

You gotta go on

You gotta go on

G

Go on

Go on

D

Try and live life like I couldn't

Guitar solo:
