Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Drum Intro
---> Play Riff 1 over:
I believe in your purpose baby
Coming up to the surface and maybe
I'll never see you again then again who knows
Make me quiver hands will shiver
Still got all the things that I woulda give her
Yeah, yeah but it's slow going
Something's showing yeah, yeah
---> Play Pre-Chorus (x1)
---> Play Riff 2 (x2)
---> Play Riff 2 over:
Love is a stream that will find it's own course
Making due is a thing a thing I will do no more
---> Play Riff 3 over:
Whenever you come back I'll be waiting
Trifling the slack no head gating
---> Play Riff 4 over:
This is all pure fiction you know that's right
Just pure fiction
That's all right
---> Play Riff 1 over:
I believe in your purpose baby
Coming up to the surface and maybe
I'll never see you again then again who knows
Make me quiver hands will shiver
Still got all the things that I woulda give her, yeah
But it's slow going something's showing
Yeah, yeah
---> Play Pre-Chorus (x1)
