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):
[Em] [G] [D] [C]
Verse 1 :
Look at [Em]me
Stand [G]up straight
[D]Interrupt t[C]he things that don't make
[Em]Any sense [G]at all
[D]Any sense [C]at all
Verse 2:
Don't take [Em]long
Now [G]it's gone
[D]In between [C]the lines and spaces
[Em]Now that it's been [G]said
[D]Face is turning [C]red
Bridge :
[Em]You [C]get so [G]tired all the[D] time
[Em]And I [C]get so [G]wired all [D]the time
C (2x)
But you keep asking why
Transition to the chorus :
[Em] [D]
CHORUS :
[C]You're my [Em]only hope
[G]Hold me up, [D]stand me up straight
[C]My only[Em] hope
[G]Is it just [D]a subtle joke
C (2x)
My only hope
Verse 3 :
Press the [Em]bruise
Beg [G]or choose
[D]Feelin' like [C]a shadow
Of my [Em]former self [G]again
[D]Broken badly [C]bent
Cut my [Em]nose off [G]my face
[D]In spite of [C]myself
There must be [Em]something in [G]the way
[D]Something in [C]the way
Bridge :
[Em]You g[C]et so [G]tired all the[D] time
[Em]And I [C]get so [G]wired all [D]the time
But you [C]keep asking why, I won't comply
C (2x)
I can't deny
Transition to the chorus :
[Em] [D]
CHORUS :
[C]You're my [Em]only hope
[G]Hold me up, [D]stand me up straight
[C]My onl[Em]y hope
[G]Is it just [D]a subtle joke
C (2x)
My only hope
Transition to the 2nd Bridge :
Em D (2x)
Bridge II :
C (2x)
With a secret smile
[G]On an empty [D]stomach
C (2x)
And the fish bowl feel
[G]That you get for [D]nothing
C (2x)
When you tie it on
[G]And it pulls you [D]under
C (2x)
Goin' down the drain
[G]Is it all for [D]nothing?
CHORUS :
[C]You're my o[Em]nly hope
[G]Hold me up, [D]stand me up straight
[C]My onl[Em]y hope
[G]Is it just [D]a subtle joke
C (2x)
My only hope
Outro :
(4x)
[Em] [G] [D]There's somethin' in the w[C]ay
