Standard (EADGBE)

Very simply but stunning song, just uses

Riff 1

Intro

The LA Times and Channel 5

And New York Magazine

They stain my soul

And I know you know what I mean

They tear apart the hopeful heart

Til it doesn’t bleed or dream

Riff 1

And that’s not alright by me

Riff 1

Pull on the rope that lifts the sun back to the sky

Riff 1

Hold a hand. Cry on a shoulder.

Riff 1

Listen in the wind and open up your eyes.

And feel again.

Feel again.

Where the roads cross

And time stands still

I’m frozen in my tracks

Against my will

The streetlight is dimming

And it won’t shine again until

I say It’s not alright by me

Not alright by me

Not alright by me

Not alright by me

Not alright by me
