PIERRE from Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 (by Dave Malloy) [PIERRE]
D                 F#m
It's dawned on me suddenly

        D          F#m
And for no obvious reason

       Em       B
That I can't go on

            Em
Living as I am

     C                G
The zest of life has vanished

         F#          Bm
Only the skeleton remains

             Em/G
Unexpectedly vile

             F#
I used to be better

             F
I used to be better

             Em
I used to be better

             F#
I used to be better

             F
I used to be better

             Em
I used to be better
[ALL]
Em  G
Oh, Pierre

    Am               Em
Our married feasting crank

          C          G
Our most dear, most kind

     Am        Em
Most smart and eccentric

  C                           G
A warm-hearted Russian of the old-school

    Am              Em
His purse is always empty

              B      Em
Because it's open to all

    Am
Oh Pierre

     B                Em      C
Just one of a hundred sad old men

B                              Em
Living out their final days in Moscow
[PIERRE]
  D         F#m
I drink too much

      D                          F#m
Right now, my friend fights and bleeds

                       Em
And I sit at home and read

            B
Hours at a time

             Em
Hours at my screen

Em
Anything, anything

C              G
Abandoned to distraction

    F#       Bm
In order to forget

              Em
We waste our lives

             F# F Em
Drowning in wine...

Em                                    F# F
I never thought that I'd end up like this

F            Em
I used to be better

        C               G
And the women, they all pity me

            D
Because I'm married

     E      Am
But not in love

B              Am
Frozen at the center
[WOMEN]
Bm       F#             Bm      F#
Il est charmant; il n'a pas de sexe

He is charming; he has no sex

Living out their final days in Moscow
[PIERRE]
E                    Am
There's a ringing my head

           G              D
There's a sickness in the world

D             F#m
And everyone knows

    Bm                        E
But pretends that they don't see

                      A
Oh, I'll sort it out later

                 F#m
But later never comes
[PIERRE & MEN]
        D        A
And how many men before

Good Russian men

Believing in goodness and truth
[PIERRE]
A             G
Entered that door

                          D
With all their teeth and hair

     C#                    F#m
And left it toothless and bald?

    F#7       Bm
You empty and stupid

    F#7       Bm
Contented fellows

    F#7       Bm    F#7       Bm
Satisfied with your place

     F#7           Bm
I'm different from you

     F#7           Bm
I'm different from you

   F#7   Bm        F#7 Emadd9 Bm
I still want to do something

Or do you struggle too?

I pity you

I pity me

I pity you

I pity you

I pity me

I pity you
