D
Color me once color me twice
Everything gonna turn out nice
G
Everlasting arms
D
you gotta keep me from these false alarms
Alarm, alarm I see you sad
Maybe I see you I'm glad
G D
Maybe maybe the fire of her desire
Patience patience said the man
Patience patience I can't understand
G
Patience like a man and a wife
D
I got patience on my neck like a cold cold knife
I say Jack be nimble Jack fall dead
Jack bend over and give Jilly head
G D
Oh you gotta help my body heal my soul

Bass Solo:

Verse 2:
D
Dead men working a sinner a saint
Mixing up a pail of paint
G
Painted the house, black as night
D
When the sun came up the house was white
Gotta go on
G
gotta go on
we gotta go on
D
you gotta go on
you gotta go on
G
go on
go on
D
try and live life like I couldn't
