about

2 chords & a lie.
A bass guitar & an egg shaker would really tie this song together.

lyrics

v1:
We're all clutching at straws, we're all walking the high wire
Will we follow the laws of a broken down empire
Try remembering what was as we sing 'round the campfire

ch:
What would it take to feel a little better than alright
You focus on the simple things, the ones you try to hide
You find it hard to deal, when you know you're not enough
But you find you're lucky to be lost in the neighborhood of love
The neighborhood of love

v2:
Once in all the blue moons we can look back in hindsight
Did you give up too soon? Did you shut out your inside?
We should dance in the ruins, we could trade the day for the night

ch:
What would it take to feel a little better than alright
You focus on the simple things, the ones you try to hide
You find it hard to deal, when you know you're not enough
But you find you're lucky to be lost in the neighborhood of love
The neighborhood of love

- actual harmonica solo -

v1.2:
We're all clutching at straws, we're all walking the high wire

ch:
What would it take to feel a little better than alright
You focus on the simple things, the ones you try to hide
You find it hard to deal, when you know you're not enough
But you find you're lucky to be lost in the neighborhood of love
The neighborhood of love
