But in here it is [Cmaj7]pure, y[C6]eah
[Em9]This is the end of the [Bm/D]line
I've seen this s[C#7]toryline
Played [C#7]out so many times be[Cmaj7]fore[C6]
Oh [Em9]that goes in there, then [Em9]that goes in there_
Then [Bm/D]that goes in there, then [Bm/D]that goes in there_
[C#7]Oh, and then it's [Cmaj7]over[C6]
[Em9]Oh, what a hell of a [Bm/D]show
But what I want to k[C#7]now
What exactly do you do for an e[Cmaj7]ncore?[C6]
'Cos this-is h[Em9]ardcore
