Standard (EADGBE)

And now I finally see that the further we go

We're only treading ground that we already know

I could write you a song, send you a note,

Or empty out your trash.

And buy a bucket full of diamonds but

Even the most beautiful of all

Roses must someday crumble

To dust and fade away

Certain tragedy

So it's on in to the lonely night, and all the rest

Of it's the empty space between me and the sunken wall

Feelin' someone's hand around my neck

Chokin' away the life that I have left

And I can finally see that the further I go

I'm only treading ground I don't wanna know

I'll probably hang upside down from wooden

Rafters in my home

And look at old photos of you

So it's on in to the lonely night, and all the rest

Of it's the empty space between me and the sunken wall

Feelin' someone's hand around my neck

Chokin' away the life that I have left

I miss the warmth of the summer

When we were on our own, but now it's winter my bones

(solo)

Are cold

And now I finally see that the further we go

We're only treading ground that we already know

I could write you a song, send you a note,

Or empty out your trash.

And buy a bucket full of diamonds but

Even the most beautiful of all

Roses must someday crumble

To dust and fade away

Certain tragedy
