[Verse 1]

G                          Em
Grace Cathedral hill, all wrapped in the 
                            C
bones of a setting sun, all dust and stone 
                          D
and moribund. I paid twenty five cents to 
          D7                 G
light a little white candle for a New Year's 
      Em
Day. I sat and watched it burn away then 
C
turned and weaved through the slow decay. 
         D                          D7
We were both a little hungry so we went 
                  G                               Em
to get a hotdog.  Down the Hyde St. Pier, the light was slight and 
                     C                             D
dissapeared.  The air, it sunk of fish and beer. We heard 
                             D7
a superman trumpet play the National Anthem. 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                  G          Em   C
And the world may belong for you, but he'll 
        G       Em   C                 Cm
never belong to you. But on a motorbike, when 
                    D                 D7
all the city lights blind your eyes tonight, are you 
         C          D                   G                  Em
           C                 Cm
Are you feeling better now?
 
 
[Verse 2]

G                              Em
Some way to greet the year: your eyes all
                                C
bright and brimmed with tears. The
                                     D
pilgrims, pills and tourist here all sing
                            D7                
"Fifty three bucks to buy a brand new halo."
G                                Em
I'm sweet on a green eyed girl, all fiery
                      C
Irish clip and curl, all brine and piss and
          D                                 D9
vinegar. I paid twenty five vents to light a little white candle.
 
 
[Chorus]

C                  G          Em   C
And the world may belong for you, but he'll 
        G       Em   C                 Cm
never belong to you. But on a motorbike, when 
                    D                 D7
all the city lights blind your eyes tonight, are you 
         C          D                   G                  Em
           C                 Cm
Are you feeling better now?
