Standard (EADGBE)

 So I wonder how she's doing

 I hate it when the rumors fly

 They give off such a strange sense of mission

 Wing your helplessness on high

 But she would never run from strangers

 She sang alone like a bell will toll

 Way above the clang and the clatter

 Out of fear of her demon soul

[repeat 4 bars instrumental line=bar ]

 Maybe none of this is my business

 And none of what I hear is true

 I am far from mint condition

 Circulation's hard on you

Chorus

 Hold tight, hang tough

 Love's not enough

 To keep you off that stuff

 To save you

 Hold tight, hang tough

 Love's not enough

 To keep you off that stuff

 To save you now

 He could always find the holes in the bottles

 Even with a blindfold on

 Never kept his seat on the wagon

 Rolling off like a rolling stone

 Blue chalk between his fingers

 Hustling a poolroom song

 He always kept a line for the singers

 Pointing his cue right from wrong

Chorus
