Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 I remember when I met you

 Underneath the evening sky

 Now it seems I could forget you

 Rescue me, I'm bound to die

 All the promises we made there

 With no words to understand

 And though I've tried I've come up empty

 Heart of stone, drowning man

Chorus

 I'm going down for the third time

 And I need a helping hand

 The rooster crows and I'm sinking

 Heart of stone, drowning man

Where are you, my dear companion

How much longer must you be

I'm all alone out on the ocean

When will you come and rescue me

It's too late for new beginnings

In this world I've left behind

There is nothing left worth keeping

Not a thing to change my mind

Chorus

How far down the road to glory

Must we go without a sign

Caught out on these stormy waters

How can you treat me so unkind

Did you know from the beginning

That I'd dig this lousy hole

Oh, don't leave me here abandoned

In this dark night of the soul

Chorus
