Standard (EADGBE)

I wasn't drunk enough to forget you last night

I tried real hard but then I called you twice

Thinkin' maybe baby if you heard my name

A tide would rise to put out this flame

As the band was playin' old Langzan

All new year cheer for last years crimes

I told my soul that I just won't hurt

A little white lie between the blood and dirt

She ain't comin' home

It ain't so hard to see

That everyone's got someone

But nobodies got me

She ain't comin' home

It ain't so hard to tell

Guess this is where you land

When love is where you fell

Got a foot of snow out in the drive

Sayin' give it up son why don't you stay inside

Gotta pair of your jeans on my bedroom floor

Sayin' don't bother there's always more

So here's to breakin' up in the Facebook age

With all the page right on the page

It's a desolate road and a hollow ground

To walk alone when you're so far down

 There's always something left to stumble onto

 A secret darkness unconfessed

 The miracle of understanding

 The tragedy of old regrets

 The politics of love and war

 All bullet holes and barricades

Almost only counts for something

 In horseshoes, love, and hand grenades

 I wanna climb up on that tower

Look down on the hearts below

Delicate and half devoured

Lost and looking for a home

 Cause memories they turn to shadows

 A part of you forever more

 You'll throw yourself upon the gallows

 For one moment free from keeping score

And when I'm an old man and my times all gone

She's an old lady playin' bridge till dawn

That long blonde hair has gone all white

Still be fightin' that same old fight

She ain't comin' home

It ain't so hard to see

That everyone's got someone

But nobodies got me

She ain't comin' home

It ain't so hard to tell

Guess this is where you land

When love is where you fell

Guess this is where you land

When love is where you fell

Guess this is where you land

When love is where you fell
