 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
