[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
[Outro]
