Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Good days, bad days, I've had a few of those,

Same old story -I know how this song goes,

At least I did, but now I'm not so sure,

Nothing's in its place, nothing's certain anymore,

Birds fly, trees sway, why can't I be like that?

Happy knowing what I am, in fact and leaving be?

But truth has been obscured,

I am only human and I'm always wanting...more.

Oh, the world is a place and they say it's on our side,

But I wonder, is there comfort in those moments when we die?

Now I see, Mr. King, this was in the books you gave me,

Which I read, disbelieving, thinking poets are depressed,

Oh, Mr. King, I have changed, I confess.
