Cruel World

F C Gm C C


[Verse 1]
F            C
Oh cruel world
          Gm
Will you knock me down
           C7
Until I'm begging on my knees?
    F            C
And oh beautiful world
         Gm
Will you push me
        C
Until I'm soaring with the stars?
        C7
Until I'm flying with the birds?


[Chorus]
Dm                            G7
Let me know if I have what it takes
Gm7                                      C
Push me to the point my heart breaks and aches
  Dm                          G7
Remind me what I'm doing this for
         Gm7                        C
Let me go on and fight for more and more


[Verse 2]
     F
And when I drift away
       Am
When I lose my way
   Gm
My body starts to decay
   C7
My body starts to decay
    F                          C
And I put cigarettes in the ash tray
      Gm            C7
Everything will be okay


[Chorus]
Dm                            G7
Let me know if I have what it takes
Gm7                                      C
Push me to the point my heart breaks and aches
  Dm                          G7
Remind me what I'm doing this for
         Gm7                        C
Let me go on and fight for more and more


[Bridge]
Am                  Dm
When I stand in agony

Absently
        G                       Gm
And my thoughts turn bitter and angry
Am
Send the cavalry to my balcony
    Dm           G       Gm7
And free me from my insanity

         F         C
And even though I hurt and I hurt
       Gm7         Gm         C7
I will always be a dreamer at heart
         F             C
And even though we've drifted apart
    Gm7
I'm still a dreamer
   Gm                   C7      C
A dreamer with a heavy heart


[Chorus]
Dm                            G7
Let me know if I have what it takes
Gm7                                      C
Push me to the point my heart breaks and aches
  Dm                          G7
Remind me what I'm doing this for
         Gm7                        C
Let me go on and fight for more and more
