Standard (EADGBE)

 Hometown, same town blues

 Same old walls closing in

 Oh what a life a mess can be

 I'm sitting here thinking of you once again

 Won't you talk to me

 Well, time won't wait, better open the gate

 Get up and start what needs to be done

 It's winding down, there's much you missed

 Working on that graveyard shift

 Well, I'm not saying there's nothing wrong as the day comes along

 If what I see is true I could learn to believe

 Can't look away

 The powers that be might take it all away

 Together we burn, together we burn away

Some say a land of paradise

Some say a land of pain

Well, which side are you looking from

Some people have it all

Some ?all to gain?

Well a man in a tie'll bum your dime

'Fore he breaks his twenty dollar bill

There's plenty of reasons in this world

We're no longer standing still

But I'm not saying there's nothing wrong as the day comes along

If what I see is true I could learn to believe

Can't look away

The powers that be might take it all away

Together we burn, together we burn away

  Dbend

  Dbend

There's too much time spent looking for a reason

It's the simple ones that ?beat? the most truth

Oh, what a life a mess can be

I'm sitting here thinking of you once again

Give a thought to me

Well, time won't wait, better open the gate

Get up and start what needs to be done

It's running down, there's much you missed

Working on that graveyard shift

But I'm not saying there's nothing wrong as the day comes along

If what I see is true I could learn to believe

Can't look away

The powers that be might take it all away

Together we burn, together we burn away

Notes

For the D G/D bit the following sounds best to me

For the D Dsus4 D Dbend bit play open chords and just pick the first bit,

then bend the top 3 strings (ie the fretted ones) up.
