How do you stand so straight
When your mind is so crooked
Paralyzed surprise upon your
face
Please dont talk, Id like to
remember you just like this
The one who has betrayed me with a
kiss
It only stands to reason
With every breath youre breathing
You were bound
Bound to let me down
For all your dirty deeds
There must be someone that you can blame
Who taught you all the rules
Thats to the game
For lips still red with wine
Telling lies as theyre touching mine
Already know how this is gonna go
It only stands to reason
With every breath
You were bound
Bound to let me down
You dont know how to say goodbye
And I aint gonna make you try
So goodbye
It only stands to reason
With every breath youre breathin
You were bound
Bound to let me down
How do you stand so straight
When your mind is so crooked
Walk your crooked mile and think of me

Tip: lay your pinky down for a beat when playing the G barre chord for a
flourish. This is a typical Greg move, and it's basically just a quick move from
the G to a C and then back to the G.
