Sweet Chords













Sweet chords
Yeah, I can believe this
Nobody out there.
Yeah, that statement draws some blood.
My eyes do not deceive me.
Sweet chords, 
Chili peppers sing,
My only friends.

Took a leap through plate glass 
Fell from three stories up
Coming down, got hit by a bus.
I need a secret place under the bridge,
Maybe a hilltop closer to the sun
But, these streets know my name
They accept my feet, don't care about my shame.

Sweet chords
Yeah, I can believe this
Nobody out there.
Yeah, that statement draws some blood.
My eyes do not deceive me.
Sweet chords, 
Chili peppers sing,
My only friends. 

I listen to the midnight wind
I watch the squad car pass
Saw the cop, his partner riding shotgun.
There's no one chasing but I'm on the run
One more soul escaped from solitary 
I stand under stars in the empty yard.
Another drifter walking the center stripes
No traffic, hands in his pockets
One more ghost out walking.

Sweet chords, yeah, sweet chords.
Take me to another place
Back there, I gave my life away
Sweet chords, yeah-
Sweet chords.


I stole the mo-jo from the Chili Peps... lol. 
DAMN that is a GREAT poem...
