A G

if you were born into the body of someone special
you'd never be alone again

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/e/easyworld/380787.html ]
I'm sorry but it just isn't fun
to hate yourself for all the things that you've done
you see, cos picking holes in me is just far too easy

than sit and worry about what's happened to you
you see cos you and me, we ain't nothing but worm food baby
there's better ways to self destruct
Repeat Chorus
D
