Standard (EADGBE)

I'm getting closer to the fact

 I've turned my back, on silly things

I'm walking down that lonely road

 And my heavy load,

 I didn't bother to bring it

 The Sun shines down on me

 I feel like I deserve it.

 & the sun shines down.

I'm hiding out where you can't see

Behind a wall, in the back of the room

I'm crawling slowly through the dark

and feeling for a punch-line

The Sun shines down on me

I want to feel like I deserve it.

and the sun shines down.

I'm walking down that empty road

But it ain't empty now,

Because I'm on it

I'm getting closer to a hope

That I can carry

and take home with me.

The Sun shines down on me

I feel like I have to earn it.

and the sun shines down.
