I have a mind to express my pain But I won't get back in your tomb I wanna hear, I wanna hear, oh why you're gone And every night seems the same song Same song... I will be humming in my sleep I don't wanna say I don't wanna say... OUTRO: (chorus chords) I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand \\\\ John Kean OO | ~~~~~~~~~ < ) keanj@agresearch.cri.nz \/ | `-- www.TAB6.com
