Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Tonight I heard a melody that made me want to sing

And think of everything and everyone that means something to me

I tried to write down exactly how it felt

To hold that pen in my one hand, fix a drink with the other

Osceola we’re getting older and this room keeps getting colder everyday

And every night, every day and every night

I didn’t want to play your records ever again

Cause I didn’t want to think, I wanted to begin

It’s nights like this when I am kissed with sin

For drinking too much, I am starting to believe

That all those christian songs had my number dead on

And it’s really sad when there’s nothing to believe in I said,

Osceola it’s getting colder and we are all getting older everyday but

Mostly tonight, mostly tonight, mostly tonight

Osceola turn my shit luck on a dime

That I gave to a man that gave me a stale cigarette

And told me that I, I was right, I was right

Osceola you are killing me tonight

If I get this right I promise I’ll close my eyes

But I’m still sleeping with this steel under my pillow tonight
