Standard (EADGBE)
Unfit to live in - just about fit to burst...
Like the banks of a swollen river,
As bitterness does its worst...
Working on your feelings - eating you all up.
But you have to shed that shit to move on,
And let love carry you on up!
(It's just) Bitterness rising - taking you off.
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off!
Unfair to give in - and never change its course.
If you have the choice before you,
You gotta take it with a force!
Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth.
As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth!
(It's just) Bitterness rising - taking you off.
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off!
Bitterness rising - taking you off.
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off!
Moments in time - finding the space,
To be what'cha wanna be.
The things you never got - life you never had.
The dreams that you once dreamed.
(For the "Shoo do do do" part)
Finding the space - waiting the time.
To be what'cha wanna be -
Just be!
Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth.
As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth!
(It's just) Bitterness rising - taking you off.
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off!
Bitterness rising - taking you off.
Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off!
