Standard (EADGBE)

x4

Somewhere a screen door slammed

Somewhere, someplace, somebody's killing a man

Down the road I'm told five people died

And I wonder are you making love to anyone tonight

Cos she and I, we're still sitting here

Our eyes are dry but we're bored to tears

She said lets talk about the future, lets forget about the past

Did I forget to tell you that the future never lasts

Chorus

Can I hold on that long

Is it worth the same old stringalong

There's been a few rights but there's many wrongs

I can make it if you can

I can make it if you can

Don't trust anything, especially love

Be careful of the broken bottles on the wall above

They burn your brain and they tear at your mind

I know I won't be making love to anyone tonight

Cos she and I, we're still sitting here

Our eyes are dry but we're bored to tears

I said there must be some future, if there's been a past

Don't talk about the present, it makes me want to laugh

Can I hold on that long

Is it worth the same old stringalong

There's been a few rights but there's many wrongs

I can make it if you can

I can make it if you can

 we're gonna make it

(Guitar Solo)

x4

Cos she and I, we're still waiting here

Our eyes are dry but we're bored to tears

Don't talk about the future, please don't talk about the past

Lets forget about the present, it harder then to laugh and

Can we hold on that long (can we)

Is it worth the same old stringalong (same old thing everytime)

There's been a few rights but there's many wrongs

I can make it if you can (you know I can)

I can make it if you can

I can make it if you can
