E    F#m11


E                  F#m11
Unfit to live in - just about fit to burst...

         E
Like the banks of a swollen river,

   B11
As bitterness does its worst...


E                          F#m11
Working on your feelings - eating you all up.

                E
But you have to shed that shit to move on,

    B11
And let love carry you on up!


            E                  F#m11
(It's just) Bitterness rising - taking you off.

E                            B11
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off!


E    F#m11


E                       F#m11
Unfair to give in - and never change its course.

       E
If you have the choice before you,

          B11
You gotta take it with a force!




E11                          E*
 Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth.

E11                            F#m11  G#m11   A*     B*
 As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth!



            E                  F#m11
(It's just) Bitterness rising - taking you off.

E                            B11
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off!

E                   F#m11
Bitterness rising - taking you off.

E                            B11
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off!



C#m
Moments in time - finding the space,

F#m                      Abm
 To be what'cha wanna be.

C#m
The things you never got - life you never had.

F#m                               Abm
 The dreams that you once dreamed.


C#m              F#m      Abm
(For the "Shoo do do do" part)


C#m
Finding the space - waiting the time.

F#m11  G#m11         A*
 To be what'cha wanna be -

    B*
Just be!


E     F#m11

E     B11
