Comments: Here's a pretty good song by a canadian band called The Miller Stain
Limit (the writing partnership of Jay Miller and Terry Sawchuck). Try it out,
it sounds really good with 2 acoustic guitars.
Tuning: standard
Intro (2 beats each chord):
Verse 1 :
Look at me
Stand up straight
Interrupt the things that don't make
Any sense at all
Any sense at all
Verse 2:
Don't take long
Now it's gone
In between the lines and spaces
Now that it's been said
Face is turning red
Bridge :
You get so tired all the time
And I get so wired all the time
C (2x)
But you keep asking why
Transition to the chorus :
CHORUS :
You're my only hope
Hold me up, stand me up straight
My only hope
Is it just a subtle joke
C (2x)
My only hope
Verse 3 :
Press the bruise
Beg or choose
Feelin' like a shadow
Of my former self again
Broken badly bent
Cut my nose off my face
In spite of myself
There must be something in the way
Something in the way
Bridge :
You get so tired all the time
And I get so wired all the time
But you keep asking why, I won't comply
C (2x)
I can't deny
Transition to the chorus :
CHORUS :
You're my only hope
Hold me up, stand me up straight
My only hope
Is it just a subtle joke
C (2x)
My only hope
Transition to the 2nd Bridge :
(2x)
Bridge II :
C (2x)
With a secret smile
On an empty stomach
C (2x)
And the fish bowl feel
That you get for nothing
C (2x)
When you tie it on
And it pulls you under
C (2x)
Goin' down the drain
Is it all for nothing?
CHORUS :
You're my only hope
Hold me up, stand me up straight
My only hope
Is it just a subtle joke
C (2x)
My only hope
Outro :
(4x)
There's somethin' in the way
