MY ONLY HOPE - The Miller Stain Limit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments: Here's a pretty good song by a canadian band called The Miller Stain Limit (the writing partnership of Jay Miller and Terry Sawchuck). Try it out, it sounds really good with 2 acoustic guitars. Tuning: standard Intro (2 beats each chord): Verse 1 : Look at me Stand up straight Interrupt the things that don't make Any sense at all Any sense at all Verse 2: Don't take long Now it's gone In between the lines and spaces Now that it's been said Face is turning red Bridge : You get so tired all the time And I get so wired all the time (2x) But you keep asking why Transition to the chorus : CHORUS : You're my only hope Hold me up, stand me up straight My only hope Is it just a subtle joke (2x) My only hope Verse 3 : Press the bruise Beg or choose Feelin' like a shadow Of my former self again Broken badly bent Cut my nose off my face In spite of myself There must be something in the way Something in the way Bridge : You get so tired all the time And I get so wired all the time But you keep asking why, I won't comply (2x) I can't deny Transition to the chorus : CHORUS : You're my only hope Hold me up, stand me up straight My only hope Is it just a subtle joke (2x) My only hope Transition to the 2nd Bridge : (2x) Bridge II : (2x) With a secret smile On an empty stomach (2x) And the fish bowl feel That you get for nothing (2x) When you tie it on And it pulls you under (2x) Goin' down the drain Is it all for nothing? CHORUS : You're my only hope Hold me up, stand me up straight My only hope Is it just a subtle joke (2x) My only hope Outro : (4x) There's somethin' in the way
