Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

The glass is half empty, don't you see

There's nothing I can do to change these tired melodies

Crawling around on all fours

Passing up all the open doors

Crowded room full of furrowed brows

Looking at me like it's not my house

Slowly back out the doorway

I'll be back some other day

Maybe a lifetime, I can't say

 So, easy does it my friend

Got a long way to the end

Slow it down, slow it down again

Or you'll never be let back in

Alright

 My fingers pass all these worn out strings

My body shakes under the heaviest of things

What is right, and what is wrong

One man's blood upon my trembling palms

Put up a good enough fight

The earth it shifts left and the moon and shifts right

Twisted, tangled in love and in life

One more step and I'll be gone

Dark down 'neath the cemetery wall

 So, easy does it my friend

Got a long way to the end

Slow it down, slow it down again

Or you'll never be let back in

 So, easy does it my friend

Got a long way to the end

Slow it down, slow it down again

Or you'll never be let back in, oh
