VERSE3:
Notes:
Play as for previous verses. (Sung over Guitar Figure 1.)

I've been swimming in a sea of anarchy
I've been living on coffee and nicotine
I've been wondering if all the things I've seen were ever real,
Were ever really happening


[repeat CHORUS]


OUTRO:

[play: Guitar Figure 1 to fade]

[repeat "Everyday is a winding road"]
