G A But who can unlearn all the facts that I've learned

A collects on my tongue
G Thoughts follow my vision and
A dance in the sun
G All my vasoconstrictors they come
A slowly undone
G Can't this wait till I'm old? (use main riff) Can't I live while I'm young? Can't I live while I'm young? Guitar solo - Solo in blues E for a while, and then here is the ending solo part (plagerized COMPLETELY from David's original TAB) END-OF-G O RIFF
