Chords with lyrics
Verse :
C majorC A minorAm
It was a gracious old sunshine
G+G
But it was wasted on me
FF
I was plastered
C majorC
And counting the cop cars out
G+G
Right in front of me
C majorC A minorAm
I was a troublesome young kid
G+G
I was a big piece of ****
FF
But I’m hoping that
Them days in the hospice
C majorC G+G
Atoned for some of it
Refrain:
DmDm C majorC
If the whole thing was fair
E minorEm FF
It would be me that was fighting for air
C majorC
But it’s you in the bed
E minorEm FF
And it’s so routine that it just threw me I guess
C majorC
And in the cosmic ballet
E minorEm FF
You can’t just do what you ****** up again
C majorC
And the world is not done with me yet
Verse :
A minorAm
Was in a dulcimer mood
G+G
Around the 4th day of June
FF
I accounted
C majorC
For the miles of attention that I got
G+G C majorC
But never want nor choose
A minorAm
And on the day when I left
G+G FF
When I said I’d be back
I am sorry
And your face when you saw me
C majorC G+G DmDm
It was fate worse than death
Refrain:
C majorC
I just wish that I’d said
E minorEm FF
Something more than I’d be back in 10
C majorC
And if I went there in time
E minorEm FF
I’d take a second to go and kiss you goodbye
C majorC
So I’ll stay by the bed
E minorEm FF
And be some respite for you till the end
G+G
And the world is not done with me yet
Bridge:
DmDm C majorC A minorAm G+G
Rise and rise, you great old thing
FF G+G
Mmm
DmDm C majorC FF G+G
Rise and rise and shine over me
DmDm C majorC E minorEm FF
All that I wanted was something to save me
C majorC E minorEm FF
And the carnival’s over, the ashtrays are empty
C majorC E minorEm FF
It’s hardly a place I can look to for safety
Verse :
C majorC A minorAm
Was a high holy weekend
G+G FF
The ones you get **** for free at the counter
And I’m crying alone now
C majorC G+G C majorC
‘Cause I didn’t want them to see
A minorAm
I fell asleep in the bathtub
G+G FF
But I woke up in the street
I’m a bastion
C majorC
Of the unwanted attention that I
E minorEm DmDm
Couldn’t wait to leave
Refrain:
C majorC
If the whole thing was fair
E minorEm FF
It would be me that was fighting for air
C majorC
It made sense in my head
E minorEm FF
But I’m still the asshole down here nonetheless
C majorC
In the comedown affray
E minorEm FF
Came to fix what I ****** up today
‘Cause the world is not done with me
