Powderfinger – Stand Yourself (Guitar)

F      C                     Bb
If an apology from you meant anything

                       F
I'd accept it now with grace

            C                       Bb
But you and I both know it's just a ploy for you to save some face

F          C                               Bb
If you had any self respect you'd turn yourself in for your crime

Bb                          C
But every time you tell yourself it's alright

Bb                   C
Every time you go to sleep at night

Bb                      C
Every time you tell yourself it's alright

          F                  Bb
It just becomes a bigger lie

                    C                F    C Bb F C Bb
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

F               C
In between days full of hypertension

Bb
Basking in the memories you hold so dear

   F                   C
Remember the vibrant defining moments

    Bb
The king making manoeuvres and the grand ideas

    F                               C
I'm glad to see the world through a different window

    Bb
But glory doesn't colour every move I make

   F                    C
No lies, no fiction, no rose-pink lens

       Bb
Just a truthful look at the love I gave to you

Bb                          C
But every time you tell yourself it's alright

Bb                   C
Every time you go to sleep at night

Bb                      C
Every time you tell yourself it's alright

          F                  Bb
It just becomes a bigger lie

                    C                F    C
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

  Bb                                 F    C
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

  Bb
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

Dm                 C
Hallelujah I found love

Dm                 C    Bb
Hallelujah I found love

F                             C
Every praying saints pray for natures sinners

   Bb
Preserving every pillar that was so hard upon

F                        C
Fold into the chest of a mother's clutch

Bb
Relish in the lure of a distant sun

        F                                 C
Now I'm glad to see the world through the winter ballad

    Bb
The colour wheels stall between the green and blue

   F                       C
No white, no snow melt, no ice bound lakes

       Bb
Just a bird song strung across the cobalt blue

Bb                          C
But every time you tell yourself it's alright

Bb                   C
Every time you go to sleep at night

Bb                      C
Every time you tell yourself it's alright

          F                  Bb
It just becomes a bigger lie

                    C                F    C
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

  Bb                                 F    C
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight

  Bb                                       F
I hope that you can stand yourself tonight
