Standard (EADGBE)

 When the light hits your eyes in the morning

 And the fight to survive is breaking you down

 You see a chance for an answer to fill the empty spaces

 But you still don't know what to do

 You're too close to the ground

When the night closes in like an old friend

And the last of your pills is taking you down

You know the doctor's prescription ain't working like it used to

But you still don't know what to do

 You're too close to the ground

 Still going down

All your life you were waiting

Just to pass up the dream and leave my town

You blew your chance for an answer to fill the empty spaces

Oh, you just don't know what to do

You're too close to the ground

Too close to the ground

Still going down
