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):
EGDC
Verse 1 :
Em
Look at me
G
Stand up straight
DC
Interrupt the things that don't make
EmG
Any sense at all
DC
Any sense at all
Verse 2:
Em
Don't take long
G
Now it's gone
DC
In between the lines and spaces
EmG
Now that it's been said
DC
Face is turning red
Bridge :
EmCGD
You get so tired all the time
EmCGD
And I get so wired all the time
C (2x)
But you keep asking why
Transition to the chorus :
ED
CHORUS :
CEm
You're my only hope
GD
Hold me up, stand me up straight
CEm
My only hope
GD
Is it just a subtle joke
C (2x)
My only hope
Verse 3 :
Em
Press the bruise
G
Beg or choose
DC
Feelin' like a shadow
EmG
Of my former self again
DC
Broken badly bent
EmG
Cut my nose off my face
DC
In spite of myself
EmG
There must be something in the way
DC
Something in the way
Bridge :
EmCGD
You get so tired all the time
EmCGD
And I get so wired all the time
C
But you keep asking why, I won't comply
C (2x)
I can't deny
Transition to the chorus :
ED
CHORUS :
CEm
You're my only hope

Hold me up, stand me up straight

My only hope

Is it just a subtle joke

My only hope
Transition to the 2nd Bridge :
Em D (2x)
Bridge II :
C (2x)
With a secret smile
GD
On an empty stomach
C (2x)
And the fish bowl feel
GD
That you get for nothing
C (2x)
When you tie it on
GD
And it pulls you under
C (2x)
Goin' down the drain
GD
Is it all for nothing?
CHORUS :
CEm
You're my only hope
GD
Hold me up, stand me up straight
CEm
My only hope
GD
Is it just a subtle joke
C (2x)
My only hope
Outro :

EGDC
There's somethin' in the way
