[Intro]
Dm F C G x2
[Verse 1]
Dm Bb G
If you ask the New York Times, they'll say that I'm dead
Dm Bb G
And if Rolling Stone, they'll say I'm uninviting
Bb Dm C
I don't really give a fuck, it's no surprise
G Bb
I never had friends here either
Dm C
Still I'm on a run with the light in my eyes
G
And if you did it wouldn't happen either
[Chorus]
Dm F C G
Sometimes bad things happen to good people
Dm F C G
And sometimes angels touch pure evil
Dm F
That don't mean they stop
C G
They can fight for what's right and I will
Dm F
'Cause I don't have the time to kill
C G
And I, I don't have the will
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb G
If you see the light in my eyes, know I'm shining
Dm Bb G
I walk my road alone 'til here, so I'll keep riding
Bb Dm C
I don't need your love, I've been this far down
G Bb
Back into the New York City
Dm C
I've been sober for eleven years right now
G
If that don't mean a thing, well, I tried
[Chorus]
Dm F C G
'Cause sometimes bad things happen to good people
Dm F C G
And sometimes angels touch pure evil
Dm F
And I won't stop, I won't fight
C G
I'll just stray towards the light
Dm F C G
'Cause I know sometimes bad things happen to good people
And that's mine
[Bridge]
Bb Dm
Jesus, walk with me
C G Bb
I don't have anything I can offer up to you
Dm C
But Jesus can comfort me
G Bb
I don't really wanna drink, some powder will do
F
Heaven is on Earth
C Em
I have peace and that's more than you
Bb F Am
I can live in the light like a maniac
G
In the stars attack, in the zodiac
[Interlude]
Dm F C G 2x (optional)
So ride for the first time and die for the last time
I'm with the angels and I'm stressed in the back row
Keeping me harder, I try and I start
But I'm scared I won't catch up and it don't matter
[Chorus]
Dm F C G
Sometimes bad things happen to good people
Dm F C G
And sometimes angels touch pure evil
Dm F
And I will fight for the right
C G
To keep on making art out of my life
Dm F C
Fight for the right to be different
G
In a world full of fake bitches
