Standard (EADGBE)

Dreams wash down the gutter

All my hopes in vain

Crows up on the rooftop

Laughing out my name

(CHORUS)

Here I am on the short side of nothing

Here I am on the short side of nothing

(VERSE)

We danced all night as life stood by

We told another lie

Found a spot down by the roadside

There I closed my eyes

(CHORUS)

And here I am on the short side of nothing

Here I am on the short side of nothing

All alone, all alone

Can't find my way home

(INSTRUMENTAL)

(VERSE)

Summer has come and the heat hangs low

No escape in sight

Sirens scream and lovers moan

Just like any other night

(CHORUS)

And here I am on the short side of nothing

Here I am on the short side of nothing

All alone, all alone

Can't find my way home
