LA
Sometimes I know that it's never enough
LA
Survival is fine but satisfaction is rough
MI
I try with an angel tonight
LA
Spread these wings and I'm on for the ride
LA
Cruise these streets where my innocence hides
MI DO#m LA
There's some things you can't deny
FA#m LA
What is it about this human condition
FA#m LA
I need some kind of promise some kind
MI
of submission tonight
CHORUS
SI
Heavy
LA
Ain't it heavy
MI
Ain't the night heavy
RE/LA/MI
I'm feeling kinda loose I'm feeling kinda mean
I've been feeling kinda wild since I turned 17
Or is it madness
Tell me where can a woman find any kinda peace
When does the fury and the agony cease
How long have I got to say please
There's a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade
I've been riping out seams somebody else made tonight

The general strum pattern is d u d(muted) u u d and the
muted down strum can be replaced with the E6 on down
strum. This is also transcribed from Melissa's MTV
Unplugged performance so it's more acoustic than electric
and played slower than the album version.
