Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I've been waiting all night long

I've been waiting to sing your song

Tonight, if you help me

Just help me find your key

Verse 2

I run my hands down your neck

I'll cross it back to another fret

I know you're fragile

You're bound to self-destruct

Verse 3

And I can see right through your skin

Your bones are hollow, they're paper-thin

Tonight, you're weightless

I know the way you feel

Chorus

So try, try lifting all your weight

For a man, a man gone wrong

And try, try wasting all your days

On a man, a man like me

Verse 4

And my love is a lot like yours

It's been crippled by the wars

We wage, we're hopeless

We're on the losing side

Verse 5

You never speak when we're making love

You never mean it when you come

To me, with your arms stretched

Defenseless and alone

Chorus

So try, try lifting all your weight

For a man, a man gone wrong

And try, try wasting all your days

On a man, a man like me

QUICK INTERLUDE (1 BAR)

Bridge

I taste you on my fingers

And I smell you on my lips

I don't know where you're going

But you're going to slip

Hey honey better save yourself

You're never gonna make it

Hey honey, honey better save yourself

You're never gonna make it

Chorus

So try, try lifting all your weight

For a man, a man gone wrong

And try, try wasting all your days

On a man, a man like me
