“Sweet Bitter Symphony”
Full Song Lyrics:
Verse 1:
(Am) Waking up to a (F) world so grey,
(C) Chasing dreams that (G) keep slipping away,
(Am) Lost in the crowd, I (F) find my way,
(C) To the rhythm of the (G) sweet bitter symphony.
Chorus:
(Am) Oh, the sweet (F) bitter symphony,
(C) Life’s strange (G) beautiful mystery,
(Am) It’s a feast, it’s a (F) famine, it’s harmony,
(C) It’s the (G) sweet bitter symphony.
Verse 2:
(Am) Under the city (F) lights so bright,
(C) We dance with shadows (G) in the night,
(Am) With every heartbeat, (F) with every sight,
(C) We play the chords of the (G) sweet bitter symphony.
Chorus:
(Am) Oh, the sweet (F) bitter symphony,
(C) Life’s strange (G) beautiful mystery,
(Am) It’s a feast, it’s a (F) famine, it’s harmony,
(C) It’s the (G) sweet bitter symphony.
