Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

(i play these open)

Down. Fall by the wayside... no getting out...

Down. Cry me a river... dried up and dammed.

Chorus

(barred chords sound better here)

The names can be changed... but the place is still the same.

I am loaded. Told that all's for naught. Holds me down.

Solo

Rise. Life is in motion. I'm stuck in line.

Oh rise. You can't be neutral on a moving train.

One day... the symptoms fade. Think I'll throw these pills away.

And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.

Bridge

(open chords again)

Won't let the light escape from me.

Won't let the darkness swallow me.

Solo

(So long)

ending: (single strums alternating beats) (repeat, end on )
