This Old World by Billy Strings

Intro

Verse

Well there's no

thing worse than feeling

Like you're

first in line for los

ing

I thought my life was cruising then it c

rumbled all a

way

I had a lot to give but what I g

ave should be for

gotten

Unnoticed like a s

tranger I'll su

rrender for the

day

Well this n

ight was an illusion,

It came d

own like an intr

usion

I

stay up through the night though

I can't s

tand it sinking l

ow

I'm a witness to the fight between

The d

arkness and the lig

ht

You're a mean old world I'm le

aving though

I h

ave no place to

go

You're a mean old world I'm l

eaving though

I

have no place to

go

Chorus

This old world took me for a r

ide

I lost

everything I h

ad and then my p

ride

So much that I don't know, but I

guess I'm set to g

And this old

world she

took me for a ri

Verse

I was

goes from bad to worse sometimes

Before it can get bet

string some words together and

Just

Bridge

When I

lay my body down I'd like to

Feel the dirt beneath m

For a moment you can yawn and

Throw my t
