C5           G5
i dreamt of a fever, 
             A5              F5                C5
one that would cure me of this cold, winter set heart.
           G5                 A5 
with heat to melt these frozen tears and burned with reasons
F5           C5
as to carry on. 
C5        G5                A5               F5      
into these twisted months i plunge without a light to follow
    C5                            G5 
but i swear that i would follow anything 
                      A5     F5 
if it would just get me out of here.
A5             F5 
and so you get six months to adapt
A5               F5
and then you get two more to leave town.
A5       F5                   A5              F5             G5 
in the event that we do adapt we still might not want you around.
    C5            G5            A5          F5 
and i fell for the promise of a life with a purpose
     C5                    G5       F5 
but i know that that is impossible now.
        C5             G5 
and so i drink to stay warm
      A5           F5 
and to kill selected memories
         C5                              G5                 F5 
because i just can't think anymore about that or about her tonight
A5                      F5
And I give myself three days to feel better
A5                        F5
Or else I swear I'll drive it off a fucking cliff
A5          F5                                  A5
'cause if I can't learn to make myself feel better
                F5                       G5
How can I expect anyone else to give a shit?
         C5           G5            A5               F5
And I scream for the sunlight or a car to take me anywhere
       C5              G5                 F5
Just get me past this dead and eternal snow
            C5            G5        A5            F5
'cause I swear that I'm dying, slowly but it's happening
                C5             G5               F5
And if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere
       C5                   G5                  A5
Just take me there, just take me there, just take me there
       F5
And say, and lie to me, and say, and lie to me, and say
      C5
It's gunna be alright

It's gunna be alright
      G5
It's gunna be alright

It's gunna be alright
      A5
It's gunna be alright

It's gunna be alright
      F5
It's gunna be alright

It's gunna be alright
      C5
It's gunna be alright

G5 - A5 - F5 - C5
