Standard (EADGBE)

He walks these tracks and never looks around

 He bums what he can get in any town

 He’s grown content to live on charity

 I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me

I make excuses when I read his name

On the side of some old dirty train

It conjures up a taste of fantasy

I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me

I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me

Well I pushed him off the ladder of success

But down here on the bottom I get rest

Oh uh he saves his thoughts to buy a memory

I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me

Ohh I put my finger in his mind’s eye

And I’ve given him a reason now to cry

I put his song of life in the wrong key

I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me
