Oh, but the sins of your past will be forgotten and gone

We don't need the shelter
Fm G# D# D#7
And we barely fear the rain
Fm Fm9/E C#7
We've been soaked too long to care
G#
Or complain
C# C#7 G#
We don't need the money
Fm G# D# D#7
And we barely need our names
Fm Fm9/E C#7
I won't call the cops for comfort
G#
right now I call a friend
