Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Intro
---> Play Verse over:
Stranger flowers yet, there will never come a day that will ever regret
The hours, days, years and the minutes
The joy the pain the sunshine and rain in it
The drives on the coast to nowhere, nothing to say just sit and stare
There's nothing like the comfort of a silence that's comfortable
Not talking small, just skip the bull
Then I find myself in servility, didn't think that was my ability
I go a yard and a mile to make you smile, but then I'm happy see
I got so many ways to make your gaze elliptical
Got a ways to go, the future's so cryptical and I'm glad
Just another many things we've had
---> Play Fill
---> Play Chorus over:
It's 8:16 A.M. will you wake up to me, the first thing that you see
My eyes open, I'm just hopin' you feel the same as me
The day starts carefully
On the sidewalk with the dog, you're right last night I was a hog
Come on I'm sorry
It's 73 degrees, January easily glides
---> Play Intro
---> Play Verse over:
Stranger flowers still, if you're gonna wanna go another day I will
Like this, make it a deal, sealed with a kiss
Sealed with the feel of impermanent bliss
Today my love we shall let the world slide
Turn off the ringer and just glide
For we shall never be younger again than, what do you see
---> Play Fill
---> Play Chorus over:
It's 8:16 A.M. will you wake up to me, the first thing that you see
My eyes open, I'm just hopin' you feel the same as me
The day starts carefully
On the sidewalk with the dog, you're right last night I was a hog
Come on I'm sorry
Holiday on the radio, Billie knows that is the way to go
The way to go
---> Play Ending over:
A place where we both can spend our same time, not collecting interest
Maybe the same reason we always find ourselves homebound
I've got to do some homework
The leave response we want to leave Wisconsin for a new life
A new trailer with an antenna and a porch
Of course we'll bring the dog
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official 311 tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
