Forbearance by Gang Of Youths

Chords with lyrics

Verse :
Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramA minorAm
 It was a gracious old sunshine
      Chord diagramG+G
But it was wasted on me
    Chord diagramFF
I was plastered


              Chord diagramC majorC
And counting the cop cars out
      Chord diagramG+G
Right in front of me
Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramA minorAm
 I was a troublesome young kid
     Chord diagramG+G
I was a big piece of ****
     Chord diagramFF
But I’m hoping that

Them days in the hospice
Chord diagramC majorC      Chord diagramG+G
Atoned for some of it
Refrain:
Chord diagramDmDm             Chord diagramC majorC
 If the whole thing was fair
      Chord diagramE minorEm            Chord diagramFF
It would be me that was fighting for air
           Chord diagramC majorC
But it’s you in the bed
        Chord diagramE minorEm            Chord diagramFF
And it’s so routine that it just threw me I guess
           Chord diagramC majorC
And in the cosmic ballet
        Chord diagramE minorEm           Chord diagramFF
You can’t just do what you ****** up again
                  Chord diagramC majorC
And the world is not done with me yet


Verse :
          Chord diagramA minorAm
Was in a dulcimer mood
      Chord diagramG+G
Around the 4th day of June
  Chord diagramFF
I accounted
                  Chord diagramC majorC
For the miles of attention that I got
      Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramC majorC
But never want nor choose
            Chord diagramA minorAm
And on the day when I left
Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramFF
When I said I’d be back
I am sorry

And your face when you saw me
  Chord diagramC majorC     Chord diagramG+G     Chord diagramDmDm
It was fate worse than death

Refrain:
            Chord diagramC majorC
I just wish that I’d said
      Chord diagramE minorEm            Chord diagramFF
Something more than I’d be back in 10
             Chord diagramC majorC
And if I went there in time
      Chord diagramE minorEm              Chord diagramFF
I’d take a second to go and kiss you goodbye
           Chord diagramC majorC
So I’ll stay by the bed
       Chord diagramE minorEm            Chord diagramFF
And be some respite for you till the end
                Chord diagramG+G
And the world is not done with me yet

Bridge:
Chord diagramDmDm     Chord diagramC majorC     Chord diagramA minorAm    Chord diagramG+G
Rise and rise, you great old thing
Chord diagramFF Chord diagramG+G
Mmm
Chord diagramDmDm    Chord diagramC majorC     Chord diagramFF  Chord diagramG+G
Rise and rise and shine over me
Chord diagramDmDm Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramE minorEm        Chord diagramFF
 All that I wanted was something to save me
      Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramE minorEm      Chord diagramFF
And the carnival’s over, the ashtrays are empty
   Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramE minorEm       Chord diagramFF
It’s hardly a place I can look to for safety

Verse :
Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramA minorAm
 Was a high holy weekend
       Chord diagramG+G             Chord diagramFF
The ones you get **** for free at the counter

And I’m crying alone now
    Chord diagramC majorC     Chord diagramG+G      Chord diagramC majorC
‘Cause I didn’t want them to see
             Chord diagramA minorAm
I fell asleep in the bathtub
      Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramFF
But I woke up in the street
I’m a bastion
Chord diagramC majorC
Of the unwanted attention that I
     Chord diagramE minorEm    Chord diagramDmDm
Couldn’t wait to leave

Refrain:
            Chord diagramC majorC
If the whole thing was fair
      Chord diagramE minorEm            Chord diagramFF
It would be me that was fighting for air
           Chord diagramC majorC
It made sense in my head
          Chord diagramE minorEm            Chord diagramFF
But I’m still the asshole down here nonetheless
          Chord diagramC majorC
In the comedown affray
     Chord diagramE minorEm          Chord diagramFF
Came to fix what I ****** up today

‘Cause the world is not done with me

Outro:

Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramDmDm Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramFF Chord diagramG+G

 Chord diagramDmDm    Chord diagramC majorC    Chord diagramA minorAm   Chord diagramG+G
Rise and rise, you great old thing
Chord diagramFF Chord diagramG+G
Mmm
Chord diagramDmDm    Chord diagramC majorC     Chord diagramFF   Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramFF Chord diagramG+G
Rise and rise and shine over me
Chord diagramDmDm    Chord diagramC majorC     Chord diagramA minorAm  Chord diagramG+G
Rise and rise, you great old thing
Chord diagramFF Chord diagramG+G
Mmm
Chord diagramDmDm    Chord diagramC majorC     Chord diagramFF   Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramFF Chord diagramG+G
Rise and rise and shine over me
