Standard (EADGBE)

Oh, I?ve sung it all tonight

 Almost every story that I know

 And now when they turn out the spotlight

I?m not sure where I?m supposed to go

 And I?m so hoarse I can?t hit the high notes

 It?s just a whisper when I?m low

 But when you sing from the inside

 You hope that something shows

 And that is why

 Yes, you are the only song

 The only song I need

 You?re my laughter

 And you?re my lonely song

 You?re the harvest and you?re the seed

 And you?re my first and my final song

You own me indeed

 Yes, after all is said and done

 You?re the one song that I need

 I?ve sung my songs to silence

 To empty clubs and crowded bars

 I?ve sung my songs to standing room

 Even sung ?em to the stars

 But the faces they fade together

 And the applause it?s gone so fast

 And the story of every darkened stage

 Is that the glory just does not last

 And that is why

 Yes, after all is said and done

 You?re the one song that I need

fade with circle
