Look at me

Stand up straight

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

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

But you keep asking why

Em D
CHORUS :
C Em
You're my only hope

Hold me up, stand me up straight

Is it just a subtle joke

And it pulls you under

Goin' down the drain
