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
