[D] Well [A] there's nothing worse than feeling [D] like you're first in line for losing
[A] I thought my life was cruising [D] then it crumbled [Bm] all away
[D] I had a lot to give but what I gave should be forgotten
Unnoticed like a stranger [A] I'll surrender [Bm] for the [G] day
[A] [D]
Well [A] this night wasn't illusion [G] it came down [D] like an intrusion
[A] I stayed up through the night though [D] I can't stand [Bm] it sinking low
I'm [G] a witness to the fight [D] between the darkness [G] and the light
You're a mean [D] old world I'm leaving [A] though I have no [Bm] place to [G] [D] [A]
[D] go
This [A] old world took [D] me for a ride
I lost everything I had [A] and then my pride
So much that I don't know but [D] I guess I'm set to go
And this old [A] world she took [G] me for a [G#] ride
[F#m] [D]
I was [A] raised when I saw [G] ugliness to try to [D] make some beauty
[A] Found purpose in the beauty [D] when I couldn't [Bm] find the shore
[G] What beauty couldn't lift just [D] simply floated on a [G] drift
Or on [D] it's own direction [A] left some loss [Bm] forevermore
[G] Well [D]
[F#m] [D] it [A] goes from bad to worse [G] sometimes before it [D] can get better
[A] I string some words together [G] and just try to [Bm] speak the truth
[G] Well I have a lot to [D] give I hope my lot will be forgiven
Oh pardon me for living for the [A] time [D] I'm here with you
Oh pardon me for living [F#m] for the time [D] I'm here with you
[A] This old world took [D] me for a ride
I lost everything I had [A] and then my pride
So much that I don't know [D] but I guess I'm set to [G] go
And [D] this old [A] world she took me [G] for a [E] ride

[A] When I lay my body down [G] I'd like [D] to feel the dirt beneath [A] me
And the howling wind could sheath [G] me and I'd finally [Bm] be set free
[G] For a moment she can yawn [D] and throw my things [G] into a pile
My dawn is [D] finally here and [A] yours might come in [Bm] just a while
[D] My dawn is finally here and [A] yours might come in [D] just a while
[A] This old world took me [D] for a ride
I [G] lost everything [D] I had and then [A] my pride
So much that I don't know [D] but I guess I'm [G] set to go
