Standard tuning

verse

                         
He stands alone outside the blooming yards 
                       
All is calm there on the street 
                       
The shadows pass him hung right over 
                               
The pain on his face he knew he'd keep... 
                         
His hair is long, and it's twisted, it's twisted 
                          
Around the smile spread cheek to cheek 
                       
Another child, another soul, grabs a hold 
                                        
To the metal that will end his misery... 

[CHORUS:]


One by one 
                    
We stand beneath the sun 
                     
With arms high open wide 

Two by two 

He's getting you 
                                                  
To watch him as he leaves this life he knew    

Verse 2

                  
How much anger is set aside
                 
As each one of us cries 
                            
Red light they come and they take him away 
                                  
In the thoughts, he'll be better, some day. 
              
Tied tight, can't see out your eyes 
        
That he's sure to shine, sure to shine 
                                    
In this deep dark, played out, reality show 
                         
So, who's the man, with the plan, 
                       
eating up all that he can? 
                          
Don't you see, don't you see... 

[CHORUS]


One by one 
                    
We stand beneath the sun 
                     
With arms high open wide 

Two by two 

He's getting you 
                                    
To watch him as he leaves this life he knew 


Interlude-play chorus



                                     
Do you ever think that things are meant to be? 
                                                      
I know we all have our reasons why 
                                       
And now the power of one human being 
                                         
Has gone and changed so many lives... 

[CHORUS]


One by one 
                    
We stand beneath the sun 
                     
With arms high open wide 

Two by two 

He's getting you 
                                                  
To watch him as he leaves this life he knew    


One by one 
                                              
We start to come undone... 

Two by two 
                                          
He's getting through to you... 
                                                           
One by one we stand, we stand, we stand, over, 
                          
over, you...
