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 :
	Em
Look at me
      G
Stand up straight
D	   C
Interrupt the things that don't make
Em	  G
Any sense at all
D	  C
Any sense at all
Verse 2:
	   Em
Don't take long
    G
Now it's gone
D	   C
In between the lines and spaces
Em		   G
Now that it's been said
D		C
Face is turning red

Bridge :
Em  C      G 	  	D
You get so tired all the time
Em    C      G         D
And I get so wired all the time
C (2x)
But you keep asking why 

Transition to the chorus :
Em	D

CHORUS :
C	  Em
You're my only hope
G	    D
Hold me up, stand me up straight
C      Em
My only hope
G	   D
Is it just a subtle joke
C (2x)
My only hope

Verse 3 :
	  Em
Press the bruise
    G
Beg or choose
D	     C
Feelin' like a shadow 
      Em	  G
Of my former self again
D	     C
Broken badly bent
       Em	G
Cut my nose off my face
D	    C
In spite of myself
              Em	   G
There must be something in the way
D	     C
Something in the way

Bridge :
Em   C     G 	  	D
You get so tired all the time
Em    C      G	       D
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 :
Em	D

CHORUS :
C	  Em
You're my only hope
G	    D
Hold me up, stand me up straight
C     Em
My only hope
G	   D
Is it just 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	    D
On an empty stomach
C (2x)
And the fish bowl feel
G		 D
That you get for nothing
C (2x)
When you tie it on
G		 D
And it pulls you under
C (2x)
Goin' down the drain
G	      D
Is it all for nothing?

CHORUS :
C	   Em
You're my only hope
G	    D
Hold me up, stand me up straight
C     Em
My only hope
G	   D
Is it just a subtle joke
C (2x)
My only hope

Outro :

(4x)
Em	G 	D	                  C	
		There's somethin' in the way
