Standard (EADGBE)

-- x4

 Well I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor.

 Reminds me of the times we shared.

 Makes me wish that you were here.

 'Cause now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life.

 Well all the songs have been erased.

 Guess I've learned from my mistakes, Well

Chorus

Open the past and present.

Now and we are there.

Story to tell and I am listening.

Open the past and present.

And the future too.

It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you.

 Well loose ends tied in knots.

 Leaving a lump down in my throat.

 While gagging on a souvenir.

 live to fill another year.

 Well drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreds.

 Leaving myself open wide.

 Living out a sacrifice.

Chorus

Open the past and present.

Now and we are there.

Story to tell and I am listening.

Open the past and present.

And the future too.

It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you.

Bridge

If you got no one

And I've got no place to go

Would it be alright?

Could it be alright?

 I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor.

 Reminds me of the times we shared.

 Makes me wish that you were here.

 'Cause now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life.

 All the songs have been erased.

 Guess I've learned from my mistakes.

Open the past and present.

Now and we are there.

Story to tell and I am listening.

Open the past and present.

And the future too.

It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you.

It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you.
