Billy Strings – This Old World (Guitar)

               A
Well there's nothing worse than feeling

            G                    D
Like you're first in line for losing

A                                       G            Bm
I thought my life was cruising then it crumbled all away

G                               D                G
I had a lot to give but what I gave should be forgotten

                  D              A               Bm
Unnoticed like a stranger I'll surrender for the day

           A
Well this night was an illusion,

         G               D
It came down like an intrusion

  A
I stay up through the night though

         G                Bm
I can't stand it sinking low

G
I'm a witness to the fight between

     D                  G
The darkness and the light

                              D
You're a mean old world I'm leaving though

   A               Bm
I have no place to go

G                            D
You're a mean old world I'm leaving though

  A                D
I have no place to go

A                             D
This old world took me for a ride

       G             D               A
I lost everything I had and then my pride

                                 D                 G
So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go

             D         A               G
And this old world she took me for a ride

      A
I was raised when I saw ugliness

G                     D
To try to make some beauty

  A
Found purpose in the duty when

  G                  Bm
I couldn't find the shore

G                                     D             G
What beauty couldn't lift just simply floated on adrift

            D                 A          Bm
Rolling on directionless and lost forevermore

   A
It goes from bad to worse sometimes

G                    D
Before it can get better

 A
I string some words together and

     G                  Bm
Just try to speak the truth

G                              D              G
I have a lot to get, I hope my lot will be forgiven

              D                A                 Bm
Pardon me for living for the time I'm here with you

G             D               A                  D
Pardon me for living for the time I'm here with you

A                             D
This old world took me for a ride

       G             D               A
I lost everything I had and then my pride

                                 D                 G
So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go

             D         A               G
And this old world she took me for a ride

       A
When I lay my body down I'd like to

G                      D
Feel the dirt beneath me

       A
And the howling wind could sheath me and

G                    Bm
I'd finally be set free

G
For a moment you can yawn and

          D              G
Throw my things into a pile

                    D
My dawn is finally here and

             A               Bm
Yours might come in just a while

G                   D
My dawn is finally here and

             A                D
Yours might come in just a while

A                             D
This old world took me for a ride

       G             D               A
I lost everything I had and then my pride

                                 D                 G
So much that I don't know, but I guess I'm set to go

             D         A               G
And this old world she took me for a ride

          D         A              D
This old world she took me for a ride
