[Chorus 1: Axl Rose] How could she look so fine How could it be She might be mine How could she be so cool [Verse 1: Duff McKagan] I've been taken for a fool So many times It's a story of a man Who works as hard As he can Just to be a man Who stands on his own But the book always burns As the story takes its turn And leaves a broken man [Chorus 1: Axl Rose] [Verse 2: Duff McKagan] I owe a favor to a friend My friends, they always Come through for me It's a story of a man Who works as hard as he can Just to be a man
Who stands on his own But the book always burns As the story takes its turn And leaves a broken man [Bridge: Duff McKagan] If you could only live my life You could see the difference You make to me, to me [Chorus 2: Duff McKagan] [x2] Well I'd look right up at night And all I would see was darkness Now I see the stars alright I want to reach right up And grab one for you When the lights went Down in your house Yeah that made me happy The sweat I make for you I think you know Where that comes from [Chorus 1: Axl Rose]
