Bryan Mantia [Drum]

She′s got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I′d stare too long
I′d probably break down and cry

woah oh oh
Sweet child o′ mine
woah oh oh oh
Sweet love of mine


She′s got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I′d hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

woah oh oh
Sweet child o′ mine
woah oh oh oh
Sweet love of mine

woah oh oh
Sweet child o′ mine
woah oh oh oh
Sweet love of mine

woah oh oh oh
Sweet child o′ mine
woah oh oh oh
Sweet love of mine

woah oh oh oh
Sweet child o′ mine
woah oh oh oh
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o′ mine
Where do we go now
ah ah aiai ai ai
Where do we go now
Where do we go

Where do we go
Where do we go now
where do we
where do we go now
sweet child
sweet child of mine

Took my chances carelessly
Choked on my own cigarette
You can hand me another bottle of whiskey baby
But you aint seen the worst yet


Now I'm reckless, gonna have some fun
And the woman who is dead
Who was out alnight, no I'm not the only one


And I ain't standing, never standing
In the shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love
Shadow of your love


Wrote my changes helplessly
Yeah but I got no regrets
Money it was on the table
So I booked with all the bets


Living like a lemon aint so hot
And you aint my idea
Of one high-rollin' shot


No I ain't standing, never standing

Chorus

Big dark clouds hanging over your head
Hope you've heard, baby all I've said
You've been told, what I've said
No use crying, you're as good as dead


Now I'm reckless, gonna have some fun
And the woman who is dead, who is out alright
Now I'm not the only one,br>

And I ain't standing, never standing

One, two
One, two, three, four

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you, I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you everyday now
Was a time when I wasn't sure but you, set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now

Said woman, take it slow, it'll work itself out fine
All we need is, just a little patience
Said sugar, make it slow, and we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience

(Patience) Mmm, yeah

I sit here on the stairs, 'cause I'd, rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Sometimes, I get so tense, but I can't speed up the time
But you know love, there's one more thing to consider

Said woman, take it slow, and things will be just fine
You and I'll just, use a little patience
Said sugar, take the time, 'cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got, what it takes to make it

We won't fake it
Oh, I'll never break it
'Cause I can't take it

A little patience, mm yeah, ooh yeah
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more patience, yeah

I've been walkin' these streets (Yeah) at night
Just tryin' to get it right (Could use some patience)
It's hard to see, with so many around (Yeah)
You know I don't like, being stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience)
And the streets don't change, but (Yeah) baby the name
I ain't got time for the game (Everybody have some patience)
'Cause I need you
Yeah-e-yeah, (Yeah) well I need you
Ooh, (All it takes is patience) I need you
Whoa, (Just a little patience) I need you
Ooh, (Is all you need) this time
