Standard (EADGBE)

The gentleman's in the lane

Spinning his hat on a cane

 Stepping out, out for a change

 Good morning all, it's a beautiful day

The generals are winning the war

Seemed suicidal before you came along

 Now, now

 I'll protect you, long as you'll stay

 L

Morning had to come, I'd be walking in the sun

 Living in the day

 But last night I was about to throw it all away

If patience started a band

 I'd be her biggest fan

 Look at me, I'm talking to you

 I don't want the lead in your play

The star's just a part of the scene

 The gentleman in green

 Paying off, out on the street

 I can't go home, it's not on my way

 L

Things I've never done, cars parked in the sun

 Living in the day

 But last night I was about to throw it all away

 Last night I was about to throw it all away

 Last night I was about to throw it all away

 Last night I was about to throw it all away
