Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 In the hope I'll forget I'll wait

 It's a chance I'll take oh yeah

 In the hope I'll forget I'll wait

 For the time

 In the spring I'll watch my step

 While the night-time passes by

 When a smile suits me all alone

 I'll be fine

 There's got to be a better song to sing

 Before I hang upon your shoulder

 Telling the truth it may be bolder this time

 There's got to be a better song to sing

 That makes a lonely one less cold oh

 Before I hang upon your shoulder and cry

 Watching friends playing in the dirt

 Feeling hard but feeling hurt

 By the sadness that wastes my time

 It's a crime

 Counting acts which I must add

 To collect sad memories

 From a past I'd soon forget

 Swap or leave

 There's got to be a better song to sing

 Before I hang upon your shoulder

 Telling the truth it may be bolder this time

 There's got to be a better song to sing

 That makes a lonely one less cold oh

 Before I hang upon your shoulder and cry

 At the gate I'll wave goodbye

 To the friends that were my lies

 And I'll see them off at dawn

 Feeling wise

 Feeling wise

 Feeling wise

(repeat till the end and end on D)
