Capoed 5th, Standard Tuning.




A5                  C5
It was the best of my intentions,
                        D5
In the first week of spring,
                        F#5
To set the standard for the year.


A5                  C5
I redefined my expectations,
                  D5
Through calculated moves,
                        F#5
And I've got nothing more to lose.


D5                         G5
So forget self-pity I think I've finally found the art,
      C5            B5      A5
Of resetting without falling apart.
D5                            G5
Ignore the rainclouds, this is the clearest sky I've seen,
      C5          B5            A5
And my worries are cast off to sea.
         D5                 F#5
I feel so alive!  I feel so alive! I feel so alive...

Bridge:
A5 , C5 , D5 , F#5

A5                  C5
And it was coming to November,
                  D5
And my confidence was shot,
                        F#5
And I was searching for the plot.


A5                  C5
I used gunpowder and reason,
                  D5
And oh hell it was the season,
                        F#5
And I'm not selling myself short.

D5                        G5
Forget self-pity I think I've finally found the art,
      C5            B5     A5
Of resetting without falling apart.
D5                              G5
Ignore the rainclouds, this is the clearest sky I've seen,
      C5          B5            A5
And my worries are cast out to sea.
          D5                  F#5
I feel so alive!  I feel so alive!

B5                  A5                        B5
So take everything you want!  I do know if I'll be back!
                       A5
So take everything you want!  I do know if I'll be back!
B5                              A5
So just take everything that you want!
                 D5
I'll return to be a better man than the one that left,
F#5
Better man than the one that left.

D5                        G5
Forget self-pity I think I've finally found the art,

I feel so alive!  I feel so alive!
