A remedy is what I'm seeking

Come away to something better

play this G only leading in
to the A—G—F#—E pattern, not
before the E—E/G# section
Sometimes a Jimi Thing
Slides my way and keeps me
Swinging I'd like to show you what's inside,
I shouldn't care if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rule all about
Sometimes I walk there
Well yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there
Shouldn't care
I shouldn't care
A
bereaved as I'm feeling
BACK TO INTRO
2. The day is gone
I'm on my back
Staring up at the celing
I take a drink sit back relax
Smoke my mind make me feel better for a small time

What I want is what I've GOT NOT
And what I need is all around me
Reaching searching never stop
And I'll say...
BACK TO PRE—CHORUS, CHORUS
If you could keep me floating

'Til I get to the end of this tunnel...mommy
If you could keep me floating
Just for a while

Sometimes a Jimi Thing
Slides my way and keeps me
Swinging I'd like to show you what's inside,
I shouldn't care if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rule all about
Sometimes I walk there
Well yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there
Shouldn't care
I shouldn't care
