Bonnie "Prince" Billy – Cycles (Guitar)

[C]             [Em]
So I'm down and so I'm out

    [F]         [G]
But so are many others.

[C]            [Em]
So I feel like tryin' to hide

   [F]               [G]
My head 'neath these covers.

[F]              [C]
Life is like the seasons,

      [F]    [C]       [G]
After winter comes the spring.

[C]               [Em]  
So I'll keep this smile awhile

    [F]        [G]           [C]
And see what tomorrow brings.

[C]               [Em]
I've been told and I believe

     [F]               [G]
That life is meant for livin'.

[C]             [Em]
So even when my chips are low

      [F]                   [G]     
There's still some left for givin'.

[F]           [C] 
I've been many places

      [F]    [C]    [G]
Maybe not as far as you.

[C]             [Em]
So I think I'll stay awhile

    [F]    [G]              [C]
And see if some dreams come true.

[F]                   [C]
There isn't much that I have learned

[F]                    [C]
Through all my foolish years

[F]                    [C]
Except that life keeps running in cycles.

[F]                   [Am]         [G]
First there's laughter, then those tears.

[C]              [Em]
But I'll keep my head up high

   [F]               [G]
Although I'm kind of tired.

   [C]             [Em]
My gal just up and left last week

    [F]          [G] 
And Friday I got fired.

[C]                   [Em]
You know, it's almost funny

    [F]                         [G]
But things can't get worse than now.

   [C]                    [Em]
So I'll keep on tryin' to sing

    [F]          [G]
But please, just don't ask me how.
