It just seems so useless to have to work so hard And nothin' ever really seem to come from it And then she looks me in the eye, says, "We gonna last forever," And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it No, because this feels so good and so free and so right I know we ain't never goin' change our minds about it CHORUS and then BREAK (see bottom) VERSE 3:Yeah every time it seems there ain't nothin' left no more I find myself havin' to reach out and grab hold of somethin' Yeah, I just catch myself wanderin', waitin', worryin' About some silly little things that don't add up to nothin' And then she looks me in the eye, says, "We gonna last forever," And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it No, because this feels so good and so free and so right I know we ain't never goin' change our minds about it CHORUS then END (the ending is just the first and last measures of the VERSE: A to ) BREAK: This break repeats three times, and the fourth time just continues the same vamp on the E and A strings, to VERSE 3.
