Is it my imagination, or have I finally found
A5 (w/riff #1) E5 (w/riff #2)

I was looking for some action, but all I found
A5 (w/riff #1) E5 (w/riff #2)
was Cigarettes and Alcohol
Pre-Chorus: (w/pre-chorus riff)

You can wait for a lifetime
To spend your days in the sunshine

You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen

You can wait for a lifetime

You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
You gotta make it happen
