[Intro]

Alright

Before we get into this next tune I want to get some house lights on these fuckers

Can we do that?

Fuckin'

This fuckin'

Las Vegas almost didn't make it on the fuckin' itinerary, man

We said we gotta fuckin' do Vegas 'cause we've never played here

And you guys kicked some fuckin' ass

Anyway we just want Guns N' Roses to kinda thank you it's fuckin'

We've never manage to get the crowd to really move for this song

But I figure sincе Las Vegas is the entеrtainment capital of the United States

Can we get a groove happenin' in here?

You can dance to this shit, c'mon


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 1]

If I say I don't need anyone, I can say these things to you, 'cause

I can turn on anyone just like I've turned on you, I've got a

Tongue like a razor, a sweet switchblade knife

I can do you favors, but then you'll do whatever I like


[Chorus]

Here I am, and you're a rocket queen

I might be a little young, but, honey, I ain't naive

Here I am, and you're a rocket queen, oh yeah

I might be too much, but, honey, you're a bit

You're a bit obscene


[Post-Chorus]

Oh

Smile


[Verse 2]

I've seen everything imaginable pass before these eyes

I've had everything that's tangible, honey, you'd be surprised

I'm a sexual innuendo in this burned-out paradise

Turn me on to anything, you better turn me on tonight


[Chorus]

Here I am, and you're a rocket queen

I might be a little young, but, honey, I ain't naive

Here I am, and you're a rocket queen

I might be too much, honey, you're a bit

You're a bit obscene


[Post-Chorus]

Oh

Oh


[Guitar Solo]

Ah

Oh


[Chorus]

Here I am, and you're a rocket queen

I might be a little young, but, honey, I ain't naive

Here I am, and you're a rocket queen, oh yeah

I might be too much, honey, you're a bit

You're a bit obscene


[Post-Chorus]

Oh


[Verse 3]

I see you standin', standin' on your own

It's such a lonely place for you, for you to be

If you need a shoulder or if you need a friend

I'll be here standin' until the bitter end

No one needs the sorrow, no one needs the pain

I hate to see you walkin' out there out in the rain

So, don't chastise me or think I, I mean you harm

Of those that take you, leave you strung out much too far

Baby, yeah


[Bridge]

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah, n-no, n-n-no, n-n-no-oh, no-oh, no-oh, no-oh-oh

Woah-oh, woah

Baby, yeah


[Guitar Solo]


[Outro]

Don't ever leave me

Say you'll always be there

All I ever wanted was for you to know that I care

Yeah
