Forbearance chords by Gang Of Youths

Verse :
C                           Am
  It was a gracious old sunshine
            G
But it was wasted on me
        F
I was plastered



                           C
And counting the cop cars out
           G
Right in front of me
C                            Am
  I was a troublesome young kid
         G
I was a big piece of ****
          F
But I’m hoping that

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



Verse :
                    Am
Was in a dulcimer mood
            G
Around the 4th day of June
    F
I accounted
                                   C
For the miles of attention that I got
            G         C
But never want nor choose
                       Am
And on the day when I left
G                      F
When I said I’d be back
I am sorry

And your face when you saw me
    C         G          Dm
It was fate worse than death

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

Bridge:
Dm         C         Am        G
Rise and rise, you great old thing
F G
Mmm
Dm        C         F    G
Rise and rise and shine over me
Dm  C                     Em                F
  All that I wanted was something to save me
           C                   Em            F
And the carnival’s over, the ashtrays are empty
      C                    Em              F
It’s hardly a place I can look to for safety



Verse :
C                    Am
  Was a high holy weekend
              G                         F
The ones you get **** for free at the counter

And I’m crying alone now
       C          G           C
‘Cause I didn’t want them to see
                         Am
I fell asleep in the bathtub
           G                        F
But I woke up in the street
I’m a bastion
C
Of the unwanted attention that I
          Em       Dm
Couldn’t wait to leave

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

‘Cause the world is not done with me
