[A][A] [A7][A7][D] [D] [Adim] [A]
[A]30 years ago[A] maybe[A7]more[D]I was a med[Adim]school freshman a[A]freshman[E]a freshman[A]
[A]my dad gave [A]me money[A7]but [D]never[Adim]enough, I was[A]a fresh[E]a freshman[A]
[A]my intentions[A]were good[A7]I stud[D]ied too[Adim]much, never[A]enough[E]as freshman[A]
[A]it felt like I was[A]used, neg[A7]lecting[D]my own[Adim]intentions very[A]soon[E]but as a freshman[A]
[E]I want break[E]my pen[G]cil into[D]thousand pieces[A]and throw [E]away
[E]telling fairy[E]tails far a[G]way from[D]the truth I lied[A]to my dad[E]anyway.
[E]I left my place[E]my study[G]room to[D]see the big bad[A] world[E]in the dark
[E]I visited some[E]smoky bars[G]shadows[D]talking all[A]together[E]I didn’t understand
[A]in this shadow[A]dancing[A7]fog bar[D]a bright[Adim]light came to[A]me the[E]freshman[A]
[A]this big bright[A]star was [A7]a girl[D]not from Ip[Adim]anema but [A]a local one to[E]see the freshman[A]
[A] I was confused[A]the music[A7]loud[D]difficult to[Adim]talk and I no[A]ticed piercing[E]eyes[A]
[A]the music stopped[A]the talking[A7]too[D] the shadows[Adim]changed in[A]angry faces[E]with killing eyes[A]
[E]she said lets go[E]. We runa[G]away as[D]fugitives high[A]ranked on the[E] most wanted list
[E] as a slow river[E]my venal [G]blood slo[D]wed down, [A]to keep my fa[E]ce blank and white
[E]this reflex, that [E]slowing[G]down I hold[D]my breath[A]to avoid a mis[E]ty cloud, that’s right
[E]It was so cold[E]I heard that[G]noise from[D]rhythmic feed[A]to hunt us[E]down, that’s jealousy.
[A] Using all of my [A]will to[A7]keep us[D]very still[Adim]we could escape[A]she and me[E] the freshman[A]
[A]oh what a night[A]it didn’t [A7]feel right[D]the out[Adim]side world I want[A] my pencil back[E]as freshman[A]
[A]we arrived at home[A] sitting[A7] cross leg[D]ged on[Adim]the wooden noisy[A] floor she[E] me the freshman[A]
[A]in a light filled room[A] I realised[A7]how beau[D]tiful she[Adim] was,my [A]face turned red[E]I’m a freshman[A]
[E]she came to me[E]she was[G]undressed[D]a dream of you[A] and me together[E]is it true, is it real,
[E]I had a little love[E] before but[G] now I'm back[D] for more I [A]spoke with her no[E] empty words,
[E]she even took her[E]picture book[G]a way to know[D]her better[A] her fingertips so [E]soft moved around to stop
[E]an angel voice said[E]look that[G]one's my mother[D]that one's[A]my father and[E] one well, that's me
[A]the things she showed[A]seemed so[A7]alive[D]I felt tears[Adim]in my eyes[A] me still[E] a freshman[A]
[A]I looked at her, she[A]looked at[A7]me a blurry[D] sight,[Adim]wet eyes, her[A] lips on[E]mine, the freshman[A]
[A]she whispered softly[A]the nicest [A7]words if you[D]need some[Adim]one let it be[A] me I love[E] you my freshman[A]
[A] because I don't care[A] who you are, [A7] what you’ve [D]done just [Adim]as long as you[A] love me,[E] my freshman[A]
