this is how I want to play it! (only way I can play it)

You Shook Me All Night Long (ACDC)

Excuse me son can you spare any money?
can you spare me the time to tell you a story?
about this girl of mine
who told me this one time
about a girl who lived just like me 

her dad he was a drunk when she was fourteen
her mother sold the drugs he was importing
it wasn't always like this
but a debt they had to lift
cos their mistakes had a penalty

Years ago they say she was a dreamer
and he said truth be told I've never seen her
then he went back to sleep
under the tunnel that would leak
and left me to think how much worse
things could be

she left home cos she couldn't take any more
of waiting for the law to come through her door
so she packed her guitar 
which she thought would get her far
but it just wasn't meant to be

years ago they say she was a dreamer
and he said truth be told I've never seen her
then he went back to sleep 
under the tunnel that would leak
and left me to think how much worse
things could be

then he said "I'll let you get on your way"
all that I've got left is telling stories
and maybe this one wasn't true
but if I leave one thing with you
it's live your life on borrowed time 
not borrowed money

cos years ago I used to be a dreamer
but I could never find me a believer
so now every night I sleep
under this tunnel I know leaks
and I hope this is a life you'll never see

so live your life on borrowed time
not borrowed money.
