In the open When I don't want to

The moments of pleasures Never do last
Dm C C7
Are gone like a suitcase full of your past Long gone, and in a hurry

Em G
I don't need to go down More then I've already been
Em G
Just like a wild fire You're running all over town
Em G
As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now

The second street beggars alone in they life
Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night
