Standard (EADGBE)

Oh, I?ve sung it all tonight

Almost every story that I know

And now when they turn out the spotlight

I?m not sure where I?m supposed to go

And I?m so hoarse I can?t hit the high notes

It?s just a whisper when I?m low

But when you sing from the inside

You hope that something shows

And that is why

Yes, you are the only song

The only song I need

You?re my laughter

And you?re my lonely song

You?re the harvest and you?re the seed

And you?re my first and my final song

You own me indeed

Yes, after all is said and done

You?re the one song that I need

I?ve sung my songs to silence

To empty clubs and crowded bars

I?ve sung my songs to standing room

Even sung ?em to the stars

But the faces they fade together

And the applause it?s gone so fast

And the story of every darkened stage

Is that the glory just does not last

And that is why

Yes, after all is said and done

You?re the one song that I need

fade with circle
