Notes:

* I've shown some of the variations, but I'm not showing all of them. 
If you listen to different versions you'll hear little differences here and there.

* I think sometimes live he plays that first chord for the "support system" 
part up at the 9th fret, something like x-9-11-9-10-(9) or something similar, 
but with Matt Fish playing along, it sounds like he's playing the lower F#.

* Playing along with a live version will be the best way to get this. Album is okay too, 
but it's easier to hear Matt more distinctly on a live recording.

* Email me or IM me (nakedguydmb) with any comments or questions.

Lyrics:

Took your words like you said I should
and look at what good they've done me
I've played support system, you played victim
and look at what good it's done
and you trip me up
leave me standing with your akward, untouchable lips
It's a cruel world, I've found
It's a cruel world, but I'm a lucky boy

You're so glorious, a waste of time
You're the safety in lying
You are radiator heat, you're the winter blankets sleep
You're the excuse that I use when I want to stop trying
And start waiting for the sky to fall
They tell me it's a cruel world that I've found
It's a cruel world and I'm a lucky boy

You're not gold to me 
I was wrong
You're not gold and there'll be 
Centuries left when you're gone.

It's a cruel world, I've found
It's a cruel world, but I'm a lucky boy
It's a cruel world, I've found
It's a cruel world, but I'm a lucky boy

Coming down...
