Tom: Dm
C C7
Picking it up isn’t the easy part
F
You’ve been bummin’ around
Bitter heart of December
Am Dm
Blame it all on the weather
Needless to say, I’m glad it exists
C C7
Cigarette on the boulevard
F
Another cigarette, that’s how I make my decision
Am Dm
Find out what you’ve been missin’
Ready or not, I like you a lot
[Instrumental]
C C7 F Am Dm x2
C
[Verse 2]
C7 F
You and I rode so long through the pourin’ rain
Am Dm C
I really run my mouth, I rarely use my brain
C7 F
You and I rode so long I know I’m never the same
Am Dm
Leaves will fall, the weight of it all
Ready or not, it’s comin’ in hot
[Chorus]
C C7 F
Unfamiliar sun
Am
Just take it as it comes
Dm
Hope it never does
C C7 F
Unfamiliar sun
Am
I want to thank you for your light
Dm
In my unforgiving life
[Instrumental]
C C7 F Am Dm x2
[Verse 3]
C C7
Pickin’ it up through all the hate and the pain
F
Pickin’ it up since the day I turned 15
Am Dm
Long way down the streets of old town
When it’s gone, it’s tough getting sober
C C7
Pickin it up through all the frivolous things
F
Summer has passed and you’re another year older
Am Dm
Leaves turn over, the bats will get hot
Believe it or not, the Cubs in October
[Instrumental]
C C7 F Am Dm
[Chorus]
C C7 F
Unfamiliar sun
Am
Just take it as it comes
Dm
Hope it never does
C C7 F
Unfamiliar sun
Am
I want to thank you for your light
Dm
In my unforgiving life
