verse 1 
F#m                         D  A 
I've been considering oblivion tonight 
F#m                                    D 
I'll squeeze the last few drops of the bruised dark fruit 
        A               E 
And pretend that I just might 
F#m                  D        A               E 
Might get the Viking funeral, might OD on the lawn 
F#m              D                     A 
Might end up immortal like an old soul song 

F#m                       D      A 
You know it's bearing down, it's bearing down

Robin Williams was right, it's bearing down

It always seemed kinda comical just to go 
F#m                         D 
When the crumbs of youthful pleasures go stale 
         A          E 
And give way to the undertow 
F#m                              D 
Thought the Golden Gate would be beautiful 
         A                          E 
Hate the height, but it's a helluva view 
F#m                       D                     A 
Swan dive, leave it all behind, but now there's you 

F#m                   D     A 
And it's bearing down, it's bearing down 
F#m                          D             A 
I can't leave you here alone, it's bearing down 
F#m               D     A 
It's bearing down, it's bearing down 
F#m                    D                     A 
I can't leave you here alone with it bearing down

I see you shining in the sun again and I know 
F#m                      D            A           E 
For the first time in forever I'm certain I can't go 
F#m                      D 
You're the one I want to wither with 
A                             E 
I want to see you when you're old 
F#m                        D 
And be the one to keep you warm 
A 
When the world turns cold 

F#m              D      A

F#m                    D              A 
Hallelujah, we're alive, it's bearing down
