Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
It was a graci
ous old sunshi
ne
But it was was
ted on me
I was plastere
d and counting
the cop cars
out
Right in front
of me
I was a troubl
esome young ki
d
I was a big pi
ece of shit
But I'm hoping
that them day
s in the hospi
ce
Atoned for som
e of it
[Chorus]
If the whole t
hing was fair
It would be me
that was figh
ting for air
But it's you i
n the bed
And it's so ro
utine that it
just threw me
I guess
But in the cos
mic ballet
You can't just
do what you f
ucked up again
And the world
is not done wi
th me yet
[Verse 2]
Was in a dulci
mer mood
Around the fou
rth day of Jun
e
I accounted fo
r the miles of
attention tha
t I got
But never want
nor choose
And on the day
, when I left
When I said I'
d be back, I a
m sorry
And your face when you saw me
It was fate wo
rse than death
[Chorus]
I just wish th
at I'd said
Something more
than I'd be b
ack in ten
But if I went
there in time
I'd take a sec
ond to go and
kiss you goodb
ye
So I'll stay b
y the bed
And be some re
spite for you
'til the end
And the world
is not done wi
th me yet
[Refrain]
Rise and rise,
you great old
thing
Mm, mm
Rise and rise
and shine over
me
[Bridge]
All that I wan
ted was someth
ing to save me
And the carniv
al's over, the
ashtrays are
empty
It's hardly a
place I can lo
ok to for safe
ty
[Verse 3]
Was a high, ho
ly weekend
The ones you g
et shit for fr
ee at the coun
ter
And I'm crying
alone now
'Cause I didn'
t want them to
see
I fell asleep
in the bathtub
But I woke up
in the street
I'm a bastion
of the unwante
d attention
That I couldn'
t wait to leav
e
[Chorus]
And if the who
le thing was f
air
It would be me
that was figh
ting for air
It made sense
in my head
But I'm still
the asshole do
wn here noneth
eless
In the comedow
n affray
Came to fix wh
at I fucked up
today
'Cause the world is not done with me
