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