If You Must
(Kurt Cobain)
(intro)
(1st.verse)
I can read, I can write
I can breathe, proven fact
Bless my greed, crease unfold
Is it me or my ego?
(interlude)
(2nd.verse)
Write some words, make them rhyme
Pieces for story line
Set the mood, something new
Is it me or my attitude?
(interlude)
(chorus)
If you want to belong
And you miss the extremes
The extremes acted out
Practicing, perfecting
Pressuring, On to me
On to me (2x)
(1st.bridge)
I will wade in the fire
To explain your asylum
Idle times analyzing
We'll compare all our sightings,
come on
(interlude)
(2nd.bridge)
I speak to hear my voice
(interlude)
(repeat all, except the intro, and the two bridges)
