G                     C G              C  
I stand on this stage,  one empty page
G              C G               
Nothing to tell, so little to sell
          F          C                  G        C  G   C          
Won’t you come on in my old friends and sit down

    G                 C        G             C
I’m just what you see, there’s nothing to me
  G               C     G
A piece of the end that never has been
          F          C                  G         
Won’t you come on in my old friends and sit down

Chorus:
          C          D               G       C G 
Can’t you tell by my clothes I never made it
          C            D                G    C G
Can’t you hear that my songs just won’t sing
          C         D           G       C G
Can’t you see in my eyes that I hate it
        F           C          Dsus4      
Wasting twenty long years on a dream

Thanks for coming by to sit and watch me die
God knows friends i might there’s three more shoulders tonight
Won’t you come on in my old friends and sit down
