Lyrics/Song Structure:

======================

---> Bass Intro

---> Play Riff 1 over:

Take a chance on something star you gotta

All the live long day

If I had to name one thing you think data

Be hard pressed to say

You can't say I'm gushy, At least you know what I think

I know that I'm lucky, I know you're on the brink

You got it good good good, You got it good so good

---> Play Riff 2 over:

You make up ridiculous words which mean exactly nothing

I know just what you mean and that's the funny thing

It's understood, It's understood

---> Play Chorus over:

Buddy buddy buddy I know why you wander

Through the sweetness on the ground

The sweetness of the flowers

You make your way on a cloudy day

You've got to move

The world you prove is too sweet, yeah

---> Play Riff 1 over:

We parted much too soon I know but that's how it goes

There's someone better out there for you and me

Can't wait to get on the road and feel the shows

And be like phenomenon number 1 and 2 and 3

---> Play Riff 2 over:

I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast

But I am the guy that could give you the most

It's good good good, It's understood

---> Play Chorus over:

Buddy buddy buddy I know why you wander

Through the sweetness on the ground

The sweetness of the flowers

You make your way on a cloudy day

You've got to move

The world you prove is too sweet, yeah

---> Play Pre-Solo

---> Solo over Chorus

** Note: The outtake version does not contain SA, and the Chorus is only played

twice. The song structure looks like this:
