Failing Flaling

Streetlight Manifesto

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

thats it for now but i promise more to come

Lyrics:

you say you've got the cure /

but i don't have a disease /

and you say you've got the

/ but i've made no inquiries /

and you're failing / bailing /

good god motherfucker now i

you flailing / that's right i think i do /

i see you flailing away /// i know it's hard but so are you /

and so am i and we'll pull through together, together /

and i said that

been years but still i fear /

that someone dear will leave me here forever,

forever and i said: hey! you've got to keep trying /

you've got to keep holding on to what you've got /

(because what you've got it sure ain't a lot) / and hey! /

everyone's falling down / everyone's holding out for what you've got /

but what you've got, it sure ain't a lot /

and youact like it is but you know that it's not /

and even if it was, would you ever give it up? /

if i told you what you had was really nothing? /

nothing? / nothing! / yes, it's nothing / nothing at all ///

so you say your life's a bore / and i can't quite disagree /

if you judge your life by the pieces of shit that inhabit your tv /

because they stand so proud, and they talk too loud /

and every other word is a lie /

i've found that everyone who is anyone is a waste of time ///

nothing / you won't say nothing / you don't say nothing /

and that's just fine /// take me back to that / day when i went blind /

i would like to see / your face one last time ///

sticks and stones may break my bones / but names will never

me / and it's been years but still i fear that someday they'll desert me /

oh, it's hard, i know / when it's time to stand alone / and no one understands you
