As always from the eels, simple but beautiful. One, two, three Two, two, three [Verse]
C
  I Am a man, In great pain over

F
  Great beauty

C
  It's not easy, Standing on my feet

       F
  These days
[Chorus]
        Dm
But you know I'm pretty sure that

C                 G
I've been through worse

Dm                   C        G
  And I'm sure I can take the hit
[Verse]
C                   
  I pushed the bed against the window today

F  
  So there'd only be one side

C  
  Well, it's a little less lonely that way

F 
  But I'm still dying inside
[Chorus]
Dm
  When I wake up

         C             G
  In the middle of the night

Dm
  No one's gonna tell me

  C           G
  I'll be all right
[Verse]
C
  So many thousands, Of days in my life

F
  That I don't remember

C
  And a small handful, of days that I do

F  
  Hold near to my heart

       Dm
  And one of those days

       C          G
  That I remember well

Dm                C     G
  Is about me and you
[Verse]
C
  When it's time, To look back on my life

F  
  Most of it won't seem so important

C
  The shit that matters, And what I'll really miss

F
  Is falling asleep with your arms around me
[Chorus]
Dm          C                   G
  Waking up knowing that you're there

Dm                       C            G
  Making everything feel right in the world
[Verse]
C
  People sleeping, in Hazmat suits

F  
  Taping up their windows

C
  It's a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world

F  
  And it's hard to make any sense of it
[Chorus]
    Dm                       C            G
But one thing I know that is true in this world

       Dm                      C          G
Is the love that I felt for you
[Verse]
C
  Being on my feet these days

F  
  Well, it's a wonder I survive

C
  No one taught me how to live on my own

F
  I'm running scared
[Chorus]
Dm                      C          G
  One sweet day I'll be back on my feet

Dm                   C      G
            And I'll be all right
[Outro]
C
I just gotta get, Back on my feet
F
