Standard (EADGBE)

 And now I finally see that the further we go

 We're only treading ground that we already know

 I could write you a song, send you a note,

 Or empty out your trash.

 And buy a bucket full of diamonds but

Even the most beautiful of all

Roses must someday crumble

 To dust and fade away

Certain tragedy

So it's on in to the lonely night, and all the rest

Of it's the empty space between me and the sunken wall

Feelin' someone's hand around my neck

Chokin' away the life that I have left

 And I can finally see that the further I go

 I'm only treading ground I don't wanna know

 I'll probably hang upside down from wooden

Rafters in my home

 And look at old photos of you

So it's on in to the lonely night, and all the rest

Of it's the empty space between me and the sunken wall

Feelin' someone's hand around my neck

Chokin' away the life that I have left

I miss the warmth of the summer

 When we were on our own, but now it's winter my bones

(solo)

Are cold

 And now I finally see that the further we go

 We're only treading ground that we already know

 I could write you a song, send you a note,

 Or empty out your trash.

 And buy a bucket full of diamonds but

Even the most beautiful of all

Roses must someday crumble

 To dust and fade away

Certain tragedy
