Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

^^^^^^^^^^^ palm mute

Verse 1

arpeggiate chords throughout first section):

[x0222x] [xx1212]

You better listen anybody

[2442xx]

'Cause I'm gonna make it clear

That my life is unimportant

What I've done I did through fear

There's a river running thru me

Only tide I tried to hide

None the less I could not shake it

And in the end it swept aside

All my feeble unimportance

I can't say "never mind"

Can't you hear me mother calling you?

I'm cold, I'm deaf, I'm blind

And it's only 'cause you're lucky

People know that's no fine

I didn't think I'd be an actor

What I am I'll leave behind

[repeat intro]

Verse 2

You better listen anybody

Cause it's me and you that's it

And in case you find your maker

Perhaps you'll plea for us a bit

All my sick is in my stomach

All my sweat is clearly fear

And if you could see inside me

I don't think you'd have me here

Tell the helmsman veer to starboard

Bring this ship around to port

And if the sea was not so salty

I could sink instead of walk

And in case a passing stranger

Who was standing where I fell

Tell the truth you never knew me

And in truth it's just as well

Coda
