C                       C7
Picking it up isn’t the easy part
            F
You’ve  been bummin’ around

Bitter  heart of December
                    Am      Dm
Blame it all on the weather

Needless to say, I’m glad it exists
C                C7
Cigarette  on the boulevard
        F
Another  cigarette, that’s how I make my decision
                          Am      Dm
Find out what you’ve been missin’

Ready  or not, I like you a lot


[Instrumental]
C C7 F Am Dm  x2
C


[Verse 2]
        C7        F
You and I rode so long through the pourin’ rain
                Am   Dm                           C
I really run my mouth, I rarely use my brain
        C7        F
You and I rode so long I know I’m never the same
                      Am               Dm
Leaves  will fall, the weight of it all

Ready or not, it’s comin’ in hot


[Chorus]
C      C7  F
Unfamiliar sun
                   Am
Just take it as it comes
Dm
Hope it never does
C      C7  F
Unfamiliar sun
                             Am
I want to thank you for your light
Dm
In my unforgiving life


[Instrumental]
C C7 F Am Dm  x2


[Verse 3]
C                             C7
Pickin’ it up through all the hate and the pain
F
Pickin’ it up since the day I turned 15
                  Am                  Dm
Long way down the streets of old town

When it’s gone, it’s tough getting sober
C                            C7
Pickin it up through all the frivolous things
F
Summer has passed and you’re another year older
                      Am                Dm
Leaves turn over, the bats will get hot

Believe it or not, the Cubs in October


[Instrumental]
C C7 F Am Dm


[Chorus]
C      C7  F
Unfamiliar sun
                   Am
Just take it as it comes
Dm
Hope it never does
C      C7  F
Unfamiliar sun
                             Am
I want to thank you for your light
Dm
In my unforgiving life
