      no, I don't need your redemption
       I  don't need you to deceive me
       I  don't need your forgiveness  (add fill 1a)
       I  only want you to believe me

       do you see me here I'm standing naked
       do you see me here I'm on my knees

Chorus

riff 2 : This section uses a few effects like the ones listed above.
Unfortunately not everyone can afford them all including myself.
As you can see each individual note can be played on the three high
strings at the same time, so if you are like me  and poverty stricken
then play the bracketed notes. But if you happen to be wealthy enough to
afford the gadgets then just play the one string.

now let me tell you about a story
it's about a man consumed with vice
he's theosophical in nature
and hedonistic in disguise
