Fun to play around with your pinkie, especially on the 'cast off to sea,'


Intro:                      
Am  C  Dm  F  x2
                         
Am                         C
  It was the best of my intentions,
                               Dm
in the first week of spring,
                            F
to set the standard for the year.


Am                    C
  I redefined my expectations, 
                              Dm
through calculated moves,
                             F
and I've got nothing more to lose.


Chorus:
Dm                                 G
  So forget self pity I think i've finally found the art,
     C               E7         Am
of resetting without falling apart.

Dm                                   G
  Ignore the rain clouds this is the clearest sky i've seen,
       C           E7            Am
all my worries are cast off to sea.
           D                F
I feel so alive, I feel so alive,
           (Am)<--(start of bridge)
I feel so alive.

Bridge:
Am  C  Dm  F


Am                       C
  And it was coming to November,
                              Dm
and my confidence was shot,
                             F
and I was searching for the plot.


Am                     C
  I used gunpowder and reason,
                   Dm
oh hell it was the season,
                           F
and i'm not selling myself short.


Chorus:
Dm                              G
  Forget self pity I think i've finally found the art,
     C               E7        Am
of resetting without falling apart.

Dm                                   G
  Ignore the rain clouds this is the clearest sky i've seen,
       C           E7          Am
all my worries are cast off to sea.
           D                F
I feel so alive. I feel so alive.


E7                      Am                           E7
  So take anything you want, I don't know if i'll be back,
                          Am     Am    Am   Am Am   Am E7
please take anything you want, I don't know if i'll be back,
                                  Am
oh please take anything that you want!
(Single strum *)
                            D*
And when I return i'll be a better man than the one that left,
  F*
a better man than the one that left.


Dm                              G
  Forget self pity I think i've finally found the art,
     C               E7        Am
of resetting without falling apart.

Dm                                   G
  Ignore the rain clouds this is the clearest sky i've seen,
       C           E7           Am
all my worries are cast off to sea.
           D*               F*
I feel so alive. I feel so alive.
