We were riding high, like flames against the sky. Innocent and wild, we were playing with fire

G|----------7---7~--------7-------7------7~---------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

The song fades out over this solo but if you are going to end it, finish on that last D
the G string (7~) and then hit a D power chord to do the live ending.

ENJOY LITA!
