They say there’s good grief But how can you tell it from the bad?
GBmDF#mG
Maybe it’s only in the fact, good grief’s the one that’s in your past
[Verse 1]
GBm
I got snow in my pockets Went down again head first
DG
Laced drill bits to my pointe shoes Pirouette through the hardwood to pay-dirt
GBmD
Night falls, day breaks; time Has a funny kind of violence and I’m
F#mG
Tryna keep in mind It can’t leave you the way it finds you
GBmD
Good grief: I’ve heard people say it What a phrase, what a state to be in
F#G
But I don’t know where they go to get get that feeling Good grief
GBmDF#mG
And my knees stay clean, not much for praying I do my own stunts and my own saving
G
But there’s something amiss something I been missing maybe, maybe
[Chorus]
GBmDG
They say there’s good grief But how can you tell it from the bad?
GBmDF#mG
Maybe it’s only in the fact, good grief’s the one that’s in your past

[Verse 2]
GBm
This time my best wasn’t good enough, well, fuck, usually it is
DG
And the air got a little rough, took out the fuselage, the engine, and both wings
GBmD
But I’m willing to work for this, just show me where to dig
F#mG
And I’m ready to hurt for this, I know exactly what this is—Good grief
[Bridge]
BmAsusG5
I want that good grief, the one that heals me, that leaves me clarified by fire when I’m burned clean
BmAsusG5
Tempered by light and heat, ah, by the dead of morning I’ll be better for it and then fortified I’ll rise
BmAsus
Bust the hydrant, let it spray champagne, wings are broken but I feel no pain
G5
It’s real today, I know this feeling, let it rain
[Chorus]
GBmDG
They say there’s good grief But how can you tell it from the bad?

[Bridge 2]
G5Asus
And secrets don’t like to be kept, all mine jumped over the fence
BmF#m/BF#m/BEmBm
I guess I should be upset, but I’m in my nightgown on the lawn, thinking, better that they’re gone
BmAsusF#mG
I’ve been afraid of this so long, it’s a relief when it goes wrong
[Instrumental]
GGDBmF#mG
'Cause I’m here now, and asking - melt me down, recast me burn me clean
DBm
Like glass from sandy ground

'Cause I’m here now, and asking - melt me down, recast me burn me clean
DBm
Like glass from sandy ground
