Standard (EADGBE)
Starts on:
The entire verse is basically a D minor chord played over different bass notes. If
you listen closely, you can hear Chris Thile changing the bass note on his
mandolin with each chord change, but its always over a Dm. When the song develops
later, it sounds more complicated, but its the same basic idea.
The chorus is pretty simple.
This is the song where I listen
This is the song where I sit still
I called the dogs off all the things Im missing
And to everyone but you before I set sail
I said good luck, good luck, good luck
These are tough times
But well get by
Good luck
This is the song where you speak up
This is the song where you get moving
You cried some trouble out into a tea cup
And to me but no-one else before you threw it
You said good luck, good luck, good luck
These are tough times
But well get by
Good luck
I put ashore in front of our apartment
And watched you comb the stoop for shards of porcelain
Satisfied that there were none that broke the silence
And after this I promise not to interrupt again
Cause this is the song where I listen
This is the song where I sit still
Until our heartbeats drown out the clock ticking
And the song is just I love you and always will
Good luck, good luck, good luck
these are tough times
But Well get by
Good luck
these are tough times
But Well get by
Good luck
these are tough times
But Well get by
Good luck
