The Forgiving Kind Lyrics by Matt Sorum

Hollywood Zen

2003

[Verse 1]
\nI'm not that bad, least I don't think so
\nBut you know I've done some bad things in my time
\nThinkin' 'bout you, thinkin' 'bout me
\nAlways thinkin' about the way it used to be
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nSo on and on I go, don't know what I'll find
\nBut I always knew you were the forgiving kind
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nI got a razor tongue and lips that bleed
\nBut I guess I'm just a desperate man in need
\nI tried to cry, but my tears were drunk
\nLike a smuggler lost at sea in a Chinese drum
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nSo on and on I go, don't know what I'll find
\nBut I always knew you were the forgiving kind
\nYes, I always knew you were the forgiving kind
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nYou lift me up but I always sink so low
\nI wanna stay but I always seem to go-go
\nYou're so good but I always make you feel so bad
\n
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nSo life goes on, but the facеs change
\nSuch a mystery, so simple yеt so strange
\nSo on and on I go, don't know what I'll find
\nBut I always knew you were the forgiving kind
\nSo on and on I go, don't know what I'll find
\nBut I always thought you were the forgiving kind
\nAnd I always thought that I'd be on your mind
\n
\n[Outro]
\nI'm not that bad, least I don't think so\n\n
