Starts on:
The entire verse is basically a D minor chord played over different bass notes. If
you listen closely, you can hear Chris Thile changing the bass note on his
mandolin with each chord change, but its always over a Dm. When the song develops
later, it sounds more complicated, but its the same basic idea.
The chorus is pretty simple.
This is the song where I listen
/
This is the song where I sit still
I called the dogs off all the things Iâm missing
/
And to everyone but you before I set sail
I said good luck, good luck, good luck
These are tough times
But weâll get by
Good luck
/
This is the song where you speak up
/ /
This is the song where you get moving
You cried some trouble out into a tea cup
/
And to me but no-one else before you threw it
You said good luck, good luck, good luck
These are tough times
But weâll get by
Good luck
/ (4 times)
I put ashore in front of our apartment
/
And watched you comb the stoop for shards of porcelain
Satisfied that there were none that broke the silence
/
And after this I promise not to interrupt again
Cause this is the song where I listen
/
This is the song where I sit still
Until our heartbeats drown out the clock ticking
/
And the song is just I love you and always will
Good luck, good luck, good luck
these are tough times
But Weâll get by
Good luck
these are tough times
But Weâll get by
Good luck
these are tough times
But Weâll get by
Good luck
