Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse 1
Now I know
I took for gran-ted
That things would always go
The way I wanted oh
I was going to be a tree top
I see I broke
A rock of ages
I don't always get it ri-ight
I see it in a different kind of light
Chorus 1
Pay my lip service
Keep it e-lo-quent
Opti-mistic but
Never quite e-le-gant
Still a weirdo
Still a weir-do-o
After all these years
Verse 2
I'd always thought
It's auto-ma-tic
To grow in-to a soul ec-static
But here I am upon the same spot
-ttempting to
Lift off into space
I don't always get it ri-ght
But a thousand different ways and I just might
Chorus 2
Pay my lip service
Keep it e-lo-quent
Opti-mistic but
Never quite e-le-gant
Still a weirdo
Still a weir-do-o
After all these years
Still a weirdo
Still a weir-do-o
After all these years
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK 1
Whistling over these chords
Chorus 3
Pay my lip service
Keep it e-lo-quent
Opti-mistic but
Never quite e-le-gant
Still a weirdo
Still a weir-do-o
After all these years
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK 2
Outro
Still a weirdo
Still a weir-do-o
After all these years
After all these years
I hope I've done it justice!
