Standard (EADGBE)

Starts on:

The entire verse is basically a D minor chord played over different bass notes. If

you listen closely, you can hear Chris Thile changing the bass note on his

mandolin with each chord change, but its always over a Dm. When the song develops

later, it sounds more complicated, but its the same basic idea.

The chorus is pretty simple.

This is the song where I listen

This is the song where I sit still

I called the dogs off all the things I’m missing

And to everyone but you before I set sail

I said good luck, good luck, good luck

These are tough times

But we’ll get by

Good luck

This is the song where you speak up

This is the song where you get moving

You cried some trouble out into a tea cup

And to me but no-one else before you threw it

You said good luck, good luck, good luck

These are tough times

But we’ll get by

Good luck

I put ashore in front of our apartment

And watched you comb the stoop for shards of porcelain

Satisfied that there were none that broke the silence

And after this I promise not to interrupt again

Cause this is the song where I listen

This is the song where I sit still

Until our heartbeats drown out the clock ticking

And the song is just I love you and always will

Good luck, good luck, good luck

these are tough times

But We’ll get by

Good luck

these are tough times

But We’ll get by

Good luck

these are tough times

But We’ll get by

Good luck
