[Verse 1: Dave Grohl]
You got away, got away, got away from me
Now get away, get away, get away from me
I couldn't grow just a'livin' in the shadow
Where do you go when no one's followin' you?
You ran away, ran away, it was right on cue
Shall I go on and on and on and on and on and on again?

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Grohl]
Rosemary, you're a part of me
You know you are, you are, you are
Rosemary, you're a part of me
You know you are, you are, you are
Rosemary, please pardon me

[Chorus: Dave Grohl]
Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie
Youth ain't gonna change the way you die
Dear Rosemary
Dear Rosemary

[Verse 2: Dave Grohl]
You got away, got away, got away with things
You got away, got away, got away with things
False starts, young hearts get shattered
Pick up the pieces comin' down around you
You ran away, ran away, it was right on cue
Can I go on and on and on and on and on and on again?

[Pre-Chorus: Dave Grohl]
Rosemary, you're a part of me
You know you are, you are, you are
Rosemary, you're a part of me
You know you are, you are, you are
Rosemary, please pardon me

[Chorus: Dave Grohl]
Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie
Youth ain't gonna change the way you die

[Bridge: Dave Grohl with Bob Mould]
This was no ordinary life (This was no ordinary life)
This was no ordinary life (This was no ordinary life)
I'm here from now on, but once I'm gone, I'm gone

[Chorus: Dave Grohl with Bob Mould]
Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie
Youth ain't gonna change the way you die

[Post-Chorus: Dave Grohl & Bob Mould]
Dear Rosemary (Dear Rosemary)
You're a part of me (You're a part of me)
Dear Rosemary (Dear Rosemary)
Please pardon me (Please pardon me)
Dear Rosemary

[Outro: Dave Grohl]
You got away, got away, got away from me
Now get away, get away, get away from me

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
