[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]
