Standard (EADGBE)

 Sitting here in this lonely old guest house

 I’m sure that my life is all through

 Scratching fleas and watching a grey mouse

 I’m making love to the memory of you

 For without you I’m weak and uncertain

 And I feel so naked and cold

 Like a window without any curtains

 My innermost feelings unfold

 The drink I just had

 It wasn’t as bad as the first

 And drinking won’t do

 When it’s only for you I thirst, I thirst

 For your kiss it quenches all burning

 And it’s sweeter than the sweetest of wine

 Now you’re gone I find myself yearning

 For the love that I left behind

 Nobody can heal

 The pain that I feel inside

 And if I said I’m strong

 And I’m never wrong – I lied, I lied... I lied
