  Take everything you know and write it on your skin
                    [C#]
  Then you can carry on and forget everything

  Take everything you own and put it in your car
                [C#]
  You can drive away, drive away so far
                    [B]                         [F#]
  Then drive into a lake and take off all your clothes
                      [C#]
  Set your clothes on fire, now you are alone
                         [B]                  [F#]
  But you've got all you know written on your skin

  So you can carry on and forget everything
