Db Bbm It was a gracious old sunshine Ab But it was wasted on me Gb Db I was plastered and counting the cop cars out Ab Db Right in front of me Bbm I was a troublesome young kid Ab I was a big piece of shit Gb Db But I'm hoping that them days in the hospice Ab Ebm Atoned for some of it Db If the whole thing was fair Fm Gb It would be me that was fighting for air Db But it's you in the bed Fm Gb And it's so routine that it just threw me I guess Db But in the cosmic ballet Fm Gb You can't just do what you fucked up again Db And the world is not done with me yet Bbm Was in a dulcimer mood Ab Around the fourth day of June Gb Db I accounted for the miles of attention that I got Ab Db But never want nor choose Bbm And on the day, when I left Ab Gb When I said I'd be back, I am sorry And your face when you saw me Db Ab Ebm It was fate worse than death Db I just wish that I'd said Fm Gb Something more than I'd be back in ten Db But if I went there in time Fm Gb I'd take a second to go and kiss you goodbye Db So I'll stay by the bed Fm Gb And be some respite for you 'til the end Ab And the world is not done with me yet Ebm Db Gb Ab Rise and rise, you great old thing Gb Ab Mm, mm Ebm Db Gb Ab Ebm Rise and rise and shine over me Db Fm Gb All that I wanted was something to save me Db Fm Gb And the carnival's over, the ashtrays are empty Db Fm Gb It's hardly a place I can look to for safety Db Bbm Was a high, holy weekend Ebm Gb The ones you get shit for free at the counter Db And I'm crying alone now Ab Db 'Cause I didn't want them to see Bbm I fell asleep in the bathtub Ebm But I woke up in the street Gb Ab Gb Db I'm a bastion of the unwanted attention Fm Ebm That I couldn't wait to leave Ebm Db And if the whole thing was fair Ab Gb It would be me that was fighting for air Db It made sense in my head Gb But I'm still the asshole down here nonetheless Db In the comedown affray Ab Gb Came to fix what I fucked up today 'Cause the world is not done with me
