 got to stand up and take a step
 
You and I have been asleep for hours
          D
I got to stand up
A                                 B
The wire is stretched in between our two towers

Stand up in this dizzy world
 
Where a lovesick eye can steal the view

I’m gonna fall down if I can’t stand up

Stand up, this is comedy
 
The DNA lottery may have left you smart
             D           A                B
But can you stand up to beauty, dictator of the heart
        F# (riff 2)
I can stand up for hope, faith, love
 
But while I’m getting over certainty
D               A                                 E/G#
Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady

This is an awesome tab, but like the other tab there are a couple of parts I'm not sure completely sure about
+1
Frusciante19
i think that neither of the 2 versions are completely correct. both sound good, but this one sounds a little better to me - 5 to both
+1
Fitzpatrick
Some of The riffs, the solo, End of the verse, chords... By the way this is according to my opinion and I'm pretty sure my tab is accurate
