As recorded by Matt Nathanson (From the 1999 Album WAITING FOR SPRING) [Intro] A E F#m D A E F#m D [Verse 1]
A         D              E
Took your words like you said I should

    A            D           E
And look at what good it's done me

            F#m               C#m
I've played support system, you played victim

    D                      E     Bm
And look at what good it's done

        Am        C#m
And you trip me up

Bm        C#m                D          E
Leave me strangled with your awkward, untouchable lips

       A           E
It's a cruel world, I've found

       F#m         D
It's a cruel world, but I'm a lucky boy

       A           E
It's a cruel world, I've found

       F#m         D
It's a cruel world, but I'm a lucky boy
[Verse 2]
A            D        E
You're so glorious, a waste of time

A            D       E
You're the safety in lying

          F#m                     C#m
You are radiator heat, you're the winter blankets sleep

           D                        E                   Bm
You're the excuse that I use when I want to stop trying

          C#m      Bm    C#m
And start waiting, start waiting

D                  E
For the sky to fall

     A                         E
They tell me it's a cruel world that I've found

       F#m        D
It's a cruel world and I'm a lucky boy

       A           E
It's a cruel world, I've found

       F#m         D                     Bm
It's a cruel world, but I'm a lucky boy
[Bridge]
C#m
You're not gold to me

E           Bm
I was wrong

           C#m      A
You're not gold and there'll be

D                      E     A
Centuries left when you're gone
[Outro]
A          E
Cruel world I've found

       A           E
It's a cruel world, I've found

       F#m         D                     
It's a cruel world, but I'm a lucky boy

       A           E
It's a cruel world, I've found

       F#m         D                     
It's a cruel world, but I'm a lucky boy

       A           E
It's a cruel world, I've found

       F#m         D                     
It's a cruel world, but I'm a lucky boy
