D# C# G# D# Don't look back, live your life, even if it's only for tonight" D# C# G# She said, "hey, it's alright if it makes you feel alive" Went to a party, just after the doctor talked to me I met a girl, I took her hand up to the balcony I whispered something in her ear that I just can't repeat She said "Okay", but she was worried what her friends will think She's going crazy, can't contain it, she asked me, "what should I do?"
