Capoed 5th, Standard Tuning.




Am                  C
It was the best of my intentions,
                        Dm
In the first week of spring,
                        F#
To set the standard for the year.


Am                  C
I redefined my expectations,
                  Dm
Through calculated moves,
                        F#
And I've got nothing more to lose.


Dm                         G
So forget self-pity I think I've finally found the art,
      C            B/A      Am
Of resetting without falling apart.
Dm                            G
Ignore the rainclouds, this is the clearest sky I've seen,
      C          B/A            Am
And my worries are cast off to sea.
         D                 F#
I feel so alive!  I feel so alive! I feel so alive...

Am , C , Dm , F#

Am                  C
And it was coming to November,
                  Dm
And my confidence was shot,
                        F#
And I was searching for the plot.


Am                  C
I used gunpowder and reason,
                  Dm
And oh hell it was the season,
                        F#
And I'm not selling myself short.

Dm                        G
Forget self-pity I think I've finally found the art,
      C            B/A     Am
Of resetting without falling apart.
Dm                              G
Ignore the rainclouds, this is the clearest sky I've seen,
      C          B/A            Am
And my worries are cast out to sea.
          D                  F#
I feel so alive!  I feel so alive!

B/A                  Am                        B/A
So take everything you want!  I do know if I'll be back!
                       Am
So take everything you want!  I do know if I'll be back!
B/A                              Am
So just take everything that you want!
                 D
I'll return to be a better man than the one that left,
F#
Better man than the one that left.

Dm                        G
Forget self-pity I think I've finally found the art,
      C            B/A      Am
Of resetting without falling apart.
Dm                             G
