verse 1 
Am                            F 
We are waking up in a pile of shit 
Am                       F 
The whole bed is full of it 

       Am                       F 
And it keeps growing out of our ears 
                Am                            F 
But we keep swimming in this wide oceans of salty tears 


Chorus 
Am            C                 F                    G 
I could use a break, me need to go down, down, down, down on life 
Am            C           F              G 
I need you to take all my shadows for a walk tonight 
Am            C                 F                    G 
I could use a break, me need to go down, down, down, down on life 
Am            C           F              G 
I need you to take all my shadows for a walk tonight 

verse 2 
Am                            F 
Down the central of your sensual sense 
Am                                    F 
Freak more freaks now while I got the chance 
Am                                     F 
But keep some cool dubs, don’t waste it all 
            Am                            F 
The day is soon to come when you’re gon' need it all 

I say 

Chorus 

STICK 
(repeat Am and F through this rapping section) 
Like leaves 
That days are falling not tell me why 
… carry for a while but it will fall to the ground 
Please stay, life is a calling 
Life not a waiting life is running away 
But long after you’re gone, your question would still be answered 
If you’re here, now you’ll be a part forever 

Chorus
