Standard (EADGBE)

Everybody knows,

or has a story bout the first one

Who taught them how to hurt,

and led their hopes astray

When its gone on quite enough and your sick of staying down

I know what you need, but you gotta live it like it sounds

Chorus

When you lose what you love, live on live on

When the road gets too rough, be strong, be strong

What you can’t understand, but you’re starting to see

it’ll work in the end, you just got to believe

And keep on, keep on

Keep on keep on

I had my ideals,

my plans so cut and dry

I wouldn't settle for a thing

And you can forget all compromise

But I was tackled like a wave, stormed on like the ground

What once would never change, was slowly turning 'round

Chorus

You can take it from me, there's so much you can be

And it's all gonna change, whether it's you or them or me

Chorus
