Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

2 beats each chord):

Verse 1

 Look at me

 Stand up straight

Interrupt the things that don't make

Any sense at all

Any sense at all

Verse 2

 Don't take long

 Now it's gone

In between the lines and spaces

Now that it's been said

Face is turning red

Bridge

You get so tired all the time

And I get so wired all the time

But you keep asking why

Transition to the chorus :

Chorus

You're my only hope

Hold me up, stand me up straight

My only hope

Is it just a subtle joke

My only hope

Verse 3

 Press the bruise

 Beg or choose

Feelin' like a shadow

 Of my former self again

Broken badly bent

 Cut my nose off my face

In spite of myself

 There must be something in the way

Something in the way

Bridge

You get so tired all the time

And I get so wired all the time

 But you keep asking why, I won't comply

I can't deny

Transition to the chorus :

Chorus

You're my only hope

Hold me up, stand me up straight

My only hope

Is it just a subtle joke

My only hope

Transition to the 2nd Bridge :

Bridge ii

With a secret smile

On an empty stomach

And the fish bowl feel

That you get for nothing

When you tie it on

And it pulls you under

Goin' down the drain

Is it all for nothing?

Chorus

You're my only hope

Hold me up, stand me up straight

My only hope

Is it just a subtle joke

My only hope

Outro

There's somethin' in the way
