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...
Bridge:
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
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!
