Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

then just bass on fifth string -

Midnight, street light,

Shadows, touch your face

bass on 4th

Whisper, goodnight,

Though I want you so, to stay.

Chorus

 I'm standing on the hardline,

Taking my sweet time

Praying that you'll see why,

I' m slow to change.

Been fighting on the front line,

Victim of a heart crime

Just can't let you steal mine away

Listen, reasons never will explain.

Freedom, is just to save time,

 'Til I'm strong enough,

 To bend and not break.

Chorus

 I'm standing on the hardline,

Taking my sweet time

Praying that you'll see why,

I' m slow to change.

 Well, I need your trust,

Don't give up, don't shut me down,

 I'll open up,

If you just try love my way.

Instrumental

Chorus

 I'm standing on the hardline,

Taking my sweet time

Praying that you'll see why,

I' m slow to change.

Been fighting on the front line,

Victim of a heart crime

Just can't let you steal mine away

Listen, reasons never will explain.
