Standard (EADGBE)

Trying to think of how I’ll say goodbye, God, don’t let me cry

I’ve lost the biggest contest of my life, I couldn’t stand the lies

I called it love you called it fun, respect I never won

Back when the hurtin’ first begun should’ve kept my pride and run

Chorus

Now I don’t want your shoulder to cry on

But if I was put to the test

I would write all the good times you gave me

In fifty words or less

I’ve tried to play it by your rules, I was a fool

To lose the game means losing you, looks like I lose

Chorus
