Spring Awakening - The Bitch Of Living(Chords)

	        


Intro: F 

F                    
God, I dreamed there was an angel 
F                    
Who could hear me through the wall 
F7              
As I cried out, like in Latin, 
F7               
'This is so not life at all. 
Bb             
Help me out-out-of this nightmare' 
Bb               
Then I heard her silver call. 
Bbm 
She said: 'Just give it time, kid. 
Bbm 
I come to one and all' 

F 
She said: 'Give me that hand, please, 
F 
And the itch you can't control. 
F7 
Let me teach you how to handle 
F7 
All the sadness in your soul. 
Bb 
Oh, we'll work that silver magic 
Bb 
Then we'll aim it at the wall' 
Bbm 
She said: 'Love may make you blind kid, 
Bbm 
But I wouldn't mind at all.' 

         Am   
It's the bitch of living (bitch, just the bitch) 
         Gm 
With nothing but your hand. (just the bitch, yeah) 
         Bb 
Just the bitch of living 
         Bb 
As someone you can't stand 

F 
See, each night, it's like fantastic 
F 
Tossing, turning, without rest, 
F7 
'Cause my days at the piano 
F7 
With my teacher and her breasts; 
Bb 
And the music's like the one thing 
Bb 
I can even get at all 
Bbm 
And those breasts! 
Bbm 
I mean, God, please just let those apples fall 

         Am 
It's the bitch of living (bitch, ah, ah, ah) 
         Gm 
With nothing going on (nothing going on) 
         Bb 
Just the bitch of living, 
         Bb 
Asking: what went wrong? 

Am 
Do they think we want this? 
        Gm 
Oh- who knows? 

F 
See, there's showering in gym class... 
F7 
Bobby Maler, he's the best... 
Bb 
Looks so nasty in those khakis... 
Bbm 
God, my whole life's like some test. 
F 
Then there's Marianna Wheelan, 
F7 
As if she'd return my call. 
Bb 
It's like just kiss some ass, man, 
Bbm 
Then you can screw 'em all. 

Bbm 
Ah......... 

         Am 
It's the bitch of living (it's the bitch of living) 
         Gm 
And living in your head. (it's the bitch) 
         Bb 
It's the bitch of living 
         Bb 
And sensing God is dead. 

         Am 
It's the bitch of living (you watch me, just watch me) 
         Gm 
And trying to get ahead. (I'm calling you one day) 
         Bb 
It's the bitch of living 
         Bb 
Just getting out of bed. (all will know) 

         Am 
It's the bitch of living (living, living)(all will know) 
         Gm 
And getting what you get. 
         Bb 
Just the bitch of living 
         Bb 
And knowing this is it. 

     Am 
God, is this it? 
              Gm 
This can't be it 
Bb             F 
Oh God, what a bitch!
