Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I've been waiting all night long

I've been waiting to sing your song

 Tonight, if you help me

 Just help me find your key

Verse 2

I run my hands down your neck

I'll cross it back to another fret

 I know you're fragile

 You're bound to self-destruct

Verse 3

And I can see right through your skin

Your bones are hollow, they're paper-thin

 Tonight, you're weightless

 I know the way you feel

Chorus

 So try, try lifting all your weight

 For a man, a man gone wrong

 And try, try wasting all your days

 On a man, a man like me

Verse 4

And my love is a lot like yours

It's been crippled by the wars

 We wage, we're hopeless

 We're on the losing side

Verse 5

You never speak when we're making love

You never mean it when you come

 To me, with your arms stretched

 Defenseless and alone

Chorus

 So try, try lifting all your weight

 For a man, a man gone wrong

 And try, try wasting all your days

 On a man, a man like me

QUICK INTERLUDE (1 BAR)

Bridge

I taste you on my fingers

 And I smell you on my lips

I don't know where you're going

 But you're going to slip

 Hey honey better save yourself

 You're never gonna make it

 Hey honey, honey better save yourself

 You're never gonna make it

Chorus

 So try, try lifting all your weight

 For a man, a man gone wrong

 And try, try wasting all your days

 On a man, a man like me
