    On My Feet

  • Artist:

    Eels

As always from the eels, simple but beautiful.

One, two, three
Two, two, three

C5
  I am a man
  In great pain over
F5
  Great beauty
C5
  It's not easy
  Standing on my feet
       F5
  These days

        D5
But you know I'm pretty sure that
C5                 G5
I've been through worse
D5                   C5        G5
  And I'm sure I can take the hit

C5                   
  I pushed the bed against the window today
F5  
  So there'd only be one side
C5  
  Well, it's a little less lonely that way
F5 
  But I'm still dying inside

D5
  When I wake up
         C5             G5
  In the middle of the night
D5
  No one's gonna tell me
  C5           G5
  I'll be all right

C5
  So many thousands
  Of days in my life
F5
  That I don't remember
C5
  And a small handful
  Of days that I do
F5  
  Hold near to my heart
       D5
  And one of those days
       C5          G5
  That I remember well
D5                C5     G5
  Is about me and you

C5
  When it's time
  To look back on my life
F5  
  Most of it won't seem so important
C5
  The shit that matters
  And what I'll really miss
F5
  Is falling asleep with your arms around me

D5          C5                   G5
  Waking up knowing that you're there
D5                       C5            G5
  Making everything feel right in the world

C5
  People sleeping
  In Hazmat suits
F5  
  Taping up their windows
C5
  It's a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world
F5  
  And it's hard to make any sense of it

      D5                       C5            G5
  But one thing I know that is true in this world
         D5                      C5          G5
  Is the love that I felt for you

C5
  Being on my feet these days
F5  
  Well, it's a wonder I survive
C5
  No one taught me how to live on my own
F5
  I'm running scared

D5                      C5          G5
  One sweet day I'll be back on my feet
D5                   C5      G5
            And I'll be all right

C5
I just gotta get
Back on my feet

F and so on
