Solo lyrics:
I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong enough to despise
But I'll see you
When He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands are tied
So far away
And I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to, need you to know...
Legend:
b - bend up to fret
h - hammer on
p - pull off
s - slide
/ - slide up to
\ - slide down from
( ) - pinch harmonic
