[A#] _ _ _ [F] This is the same guitar I played today on
[A#] On cruel world.
This is the same guitar
[F] Recorded the song with and it's been with me at every gig and [G] without without the wise one guitar
[A#] I probably wouldn't even play [F] in slide guitar, but certainly wouldn't have written that [C] song
So this this guitar is as much of a part of that song as I [Dm] am
[C] _ [F] This _ song in that record welcome to the cruel world that
_ [A#]
It [F] _ is the reason for so many things in my life.
[A#] _ _ _
I
And I was saying to myself, [F] well, you're still doing it [A#] and you're still doing it because you want to [F] be doing it
The _
[Fm] songs are still there to [A#] be written
New things are coming up [F] and new ways to present them
new [C] ideas and [Dm] either different even [C] either new ways to say different [Fm] things or
Different ways to say the same old thing [A#] either way
[B] both have their strengths and merits, so
[A#m] _ [F] You always wonder what does the day come that _ _ stops you stop being as inspired or inspired
You [G#] kind of wish that thought away
_ _ [F#] Welcome to [B] the cruel world _ _ _
_ _ [G#m] Hope you [F#] find
[B] Your way _ _

[C#m] Here so long
There [B] _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
[G#m] _ must be more good than [F#] bad.
Oh
