[Verse 1]
GGrace Cathedral hill
all Emwrapped in bones of a setting sun,
all Cdust and stone and moribund.
I paid Dtwenty-five cents to light
a D7little white candle
Gfor a New Year's Day.
I Emsat and watched it burn away
then Cturned and weaved through the slow decay.
We were Dboth a little hungry
so we D7went to get a hotdog.
GDown the Hyde St. Pier,
the Emlight was slight and disappeared.
The Cair, it stunk of fish and beer
We heard a Dsuperman trumpet
play the D7National Anthem.
[Chorus]
CAnd the world may beG long, fEmor, yCou,
but he'll never beGlong, tEmo, yCou.
But on a motorbikeCm,
when all the city lights Dblind your eyes toD7night,
are you feeling Cbetter now? .....D..
Are you feeling Gbeeeettttter..noooEmoww.
Are you feeling Cbetter now? Cm
[Verse 2]
GSome way to greet the year:
yourEm eyes all bright and, brimmed with tears.
The Cpilgrims, pills and tourists here
all sing D"Fifty three bucks D7to buy a brand new halo."
GI'm sweet on a green-eyed girl,
all Emfiery Irish clip and curl,
all Cbrine and piss and vinegar.
I paid Dtwenty-five vents to light
a D7little white candle.
[Chorus]
CAnd the world may beG long, fEmor, yCou,
but he'll never beGlong, tEmo, yCou.
But on a motorbikeCm,
when all the city lights Dblind your eyes toD7night,
are you feeling Cbetter now? .....D..
Are you feeling Gbeeeettttter..noooEmoww.
Are you feeling Cbetter now? Cm
