Lyrics/Song Structure:

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

---> Drum Intro

---> Play Riff A 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 Fill 1

---> Play Riff B (x2)

---> Play Riff B 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 C over:

   Whenever you come back I'll be waiting

   Trifling the slack no head gating

---> Play Riff D over:

   This is all pure fiction you know that's right

   Just pure fiction

---> Play Riff E over:

   That's all right

---> Play Riff A 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 Fill 1
