Standard (EADGBE)

Sitting here in this lonely old guest house

I’m sure that my life is all through

Scratching fleas and watching a grey mouse

I’m making love to the memory of you

For without you I’m weak and uncertain

And I feel so naked and cold

Like a window without any curtains

My innermost feelings unfold

The drink I just had

It wasn’t as bad as the first

And drinking won’t do

When it’s only for you I thirst, I thirst

For your kiss it quenches all burning

And it’s sweeter than the sweetest of wine

Now you’re gone I find myself yearning

For the love that I left behind

Nobody can heal

The pain that I feel inside

And if I said I’m strong

And I’m never wrong – I lied, I lied... I lied
