The Plot

Fun to play around with your pinkie,
 especially on the 'cast off to 
Am
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                                 
  So forget self pity I think i've

finally found the art,
     C               E7         Am
of resetting without falling apart.

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

I feel so alive, I feel so alive,
           (Am)<--(start of

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

Dm                                
  Ignore the rain clouds this is 
   G
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       
  So take anything you want, I 
                    E7
don't know if i'll be back,
                          Am     
please take anything you want, I 
Am    Am   Am Am   Am E7
don't know if i'll be back,
oh please take anything that you 
 Am
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                            
  Forget self pity I think i've

  Ignore the rain clouds this is

           D*               F*
I feel so alive. I feel so alive.
