Hey

[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis]

Won't somebody come along and teach me how to keep it alive to survive?

Come along and show me something that I never knew in your eyes

Take away the tourniquet

[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]

I used to be so full of my confidence

I used to know just what I wanted and just where to go

More than ever I could use a coincidence

But, now I walk alone and talk about it when I know

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]

Hey, oh yeah, how long?

I guess I ought to walk away

Hey, oh yeah, so long

What you gonna do today?

[Guitar Solo (1/3): John Frusciante]

[Post-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]

I don't wanna have to, but I will, if that's what I'm supposed to do

We don't wanna set up for the kill, but that's what I'm about to do

[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis]

Let it on, I'll cut you off when you're screaming into the phone

Hard to own

Anyway, I wanna let you know that everything is on hold

What you gonna do to me?

[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis]

You used to be so warm and affectionate

All the little things I used to hear my fairy say

But, now you're quick to get into your regret

I'll take the fall and now you got to give it all away

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]

Hey, oh yeah, how long?

I guess I ought to walk away

Hey, oh yeah, so long

What you gonna do today?

[Guitar Solo (2/3): John Frusciante]

[Post-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]

I don't wanna have to, but I will, if that's what I'm supposed to do

We don't wanna set up for the kill, but that's what I'm about to do

I don't wanna have to, but I will, if that's what I'm supposed to do

We don't wanna set up for the kill, but that's what I'm about to do

[Bridge: Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante, Both]

(Hey) Hey, what would you say if I stayed?

Stayed for a while, if I may (Oh)

Say it again and I'll come around, but not for the last time

(Hey) Hey, what would you say if I changed?

I'll change everything but my name (Oh)

Play it again and I'll come around, come around

But not for the last time, not for the last time

[Guitar Solo (3/3): John Frusciante]

[Pre-Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]

You used to be so warm and affectionate

I used to know just what I wanted and just where to go

And now you're quick to get into your regret

And now I walk alone and talk about it when I know

[Chorus: Anthony Kiedis with John Frusciante]

Hey, oh yeah, how long?

I guess you gotta walk away

Hey, oh yeah, so long

What you gonna do today?

Hey, oh yeah, how long?

I guess you gotta get away

Hey, oh yeah, so long

What you gonna do today?
