On My Feet

Eels

Text File

As always from the eels, simple but beautiful.

One, two, three
Two, two, three

C
  I am a man
  In great pain over
F
  Great beauty
C
  It's not easy
  Standing on my feet
       F
  These days

        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

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

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

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

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

Dm          C                   G
  Waking up knowing that you're there
Dm                       C            G
  Making everything feel right in the world

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

      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

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

Dm                      C          G
  One sweet day I'll be back on my feet
Dm                   C      G
            And I'll be all right

C
I just gotta get
Back on my feet

F and so on
