Dar Williams - Farewell To The Old Me
C F
How can I ask love to hold the mystery
Dm
When just look at me
Em F
It's all push and pull collateral
C F
I don't want to be the one that gets the next surprise
Dm
I'll plan it out this time
Em F
Though I used to think that things were meant to be
CHORUS:
C F
Farewell to the old me
C F
Farewell to the old me
Dm
My life is working better now
Em F
But always changing anyhow
C F
I danced a lot of nights until the grass was wet
Dm
It wasn't over yet
Em F
'Round 'bout 3 a.m. you made a friend
C F
And I followed a lot of vital crazy thoughts because
Dm
It's where the meaning was
Em F
And I tried to find it every other way
CHORUS:
C F
Farewell to the old me
C F
Farewell to the old me
Dm
My life is working better now
Em F C F C F
But always changing any, anyhow
C F
But I can turn on the charm and show them nothing more
Dm
Than what I've done before
Em F
It's nothing much new, but it'll do
C F
'Cause I don't wanna be the one who makes you laugh out loud
Dm
I wanna make you proud
Em F
And you always said you knew what I could be
CHORUS:
C F
Farewell to the old me
C F
Farewell to the old me
Dm
My life is working better now
Em F C
But always changing any, anyhow
F
Time and the old me
C F
Farewell to the old me
C
Farewell
