Take everything you know and write it on your skin
Db
And you can carry on and forget everything
B Gb
Take everything you own and put it in your car

Set your clothes on fire, now you are alone

But you've got all you know written on your skin,
Db
So you can carry on and forget everything

B Gb
I can, only leave
