Tuning: Standard

There's really only two riffs in the whole song... One is just repeated over and over
over in the verse. The other one is used in the choruses. Oh, and I know the lyrics at the
aren't accurate. I couldn't find them anywhere so they're just what I heard. Feel free 
comment what they are if you find them.

VERSE1:
I start each day off the same
Stretching out my panda arms
Reaching for a guitar to play
But now my best friend's at my feet
I can tell by the tiny cries
It's time for us to eat
We shuffle to that old wood stove
I put on a pot of tea
Fill up both our bowls
Since we have no place to go
We bow our sleepy heads
Clap along to the radio

CHORUS:
It goes
Tra la la la la la la la
Tra la la la la la la

VERSE2:
I left my heart down by the shore
I don't care if she gives it or not
It's not mine anymore
It's a broken seashell marked "I'm away"
Where we figured that we were married
Hopes to get a better rate
And as we laid there at night
I had to remind myself
She was not really my wife
But I got to finally hear her sing
Half of me broke down and cried
The other half fell right to sleep

CHORUS:
She went
Tra la la la la la la la
Tra la la la la la la

VERSE3:
My brother lives on 14th and church
His hands hold so much joy
His heart is filled with so much hurt
He falls in love with everyone that he meets
I guess that's what it is
That makes him just like me
Through the years we've both seen
Our fair share of change
We've had some victories
Mostly we just made mistakes
He's got a piano tune he made
Even though he wrote it as a child
It's still a hit today

CHORUS:
It goes
Tra la la la la la la la
Tra la la la la la la

VERSE4:
I've got a little house up north
It's not the biggest home
But I paid what it's worth
Right now it's just a place to keep my books
And since I hardly read
I guess it's just there for looks
One day three schedules will align
Finally boys and girls
Will be at the same damn place
At the same damn time
With our voices, hearts, and strings
We'll fill those tiny rooms
With so much love we'll just have to sing

CHORUS:
Tra la la la la la la la
Tra la la la la la la
Tra la la la la la la la
Tra la la la la la la

END

Enjoy!
