Standard (EADGBE)

(chords are listed above the lyrics)

somewhere back in the middle of town

the locals cracked and smacked me 'round

 they offered work well I turned it down

 the handcuffs hurt, who's laughing now?

 knock on my door, the way you once did

 knock on my door, after sunset

 we won't wait the way we once did

 and those fears he kept inside

 they were here to testify

 that the man just ain't alive to find

 the will that stayed behind

well somewhere off in the middle of space

 explosions fall and begin the chase

 for the spirit from a humble face

 who bid the call of the heavens haste

 knock on my door, the way you used to

 knock on my door, if you should choose to

 we won't wait unless you want to

 and the battered bleeding ties

 won't bid us dear goodbyes

 and the shackles we've been binded by

 won't pay us any mind

 knock on my door
