[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

I was born into a scene of angriness and greed,

of dominance and persecution

My mother was a queen, my dad I've never seen, I was never meant to be

C5 B5 [Riff 2] x1

Now I spend my time looking all around*

For a man that's nowhere to be found*

C5 B5 G5 F#5

Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching

C5 B5 [Riff 1] x2

I'm gonna find my man gonna travel around*
