Lyrics

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar, syncopated rhythm]
[clean electric guitar enters with melodic lead]
[Verse 1]
[male vocals enter]
Hold on to your ribbons
Don't you lose your love tonight
All this life is given
I don't need the moonlight
[Chorus]
[full band enters, driving kick and snare]
Maybe so, maybe so
Maybe so, yeah, yeah
Maybe so, maybe so
Maybe so, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Pride will go away
And I will say I'll hold on to
Strongest hand I find
Watching through a window
Knowing baby all the bravest men have died
[Chorus]
[vocals transition to higher register]
Maybe so, maybe so
Maybe so, oh
Maybe so, yeah
Maybe so, yeah, yeah
I'll give all that you need
[Bridge]
[drums drop out, acoustic guitar continues]
[electric guitar plays arpeggiated chords]
Hold up your pocketbook, I need a dollar
I'm sure that the wind wouldn't mind
Hold up your gold necklace, hurl it over yonder
I'll go buy something you like
And you donate half your heart
I'll be sure to return when I'm done
Oh, I can tell you're wondering, is it all for real?
Maybe so, maybe so
[Chorus]
[full band re-enters]
Maybe so, maybe so
Maybe so, maybe so
Maybe so, oh
Maybe so, maybe so
[Chorus]
[full band re-enters]
Maybe so, maybe so
Maybe so, maybe so
Maybe so, oh
Maybe so, yeah
Maybe so, yeah, yeah
I'll give all that you need
I'll give...
[Outro]
[acoustic guitar strumming fades]
[electric guitar lead melody]
Maybe so
