F#m                         D  A
I've been considering oblivion tonight
F#m                                    D
I'll squeeze the last few drops of the bruised dark fruit
        A               E
And pretend that I just might
F#m                  D        A               E
Might get the Viking funeral, might OD on the lawn
F#m              D                     A
Might end up immortal like an old soul song

[Chorus]
F#m                       D      A
You know it's bearing down, it's bearing down
F#m                     D              A
Hunter Thomson was right, it's bearing down
F#m              D       A
It's bearing down, it's bearing down
F#m                     D              A
Robin Williams was right, it's bearing down

[Verse 2]
F#m                          D         A
It always seemed kinda comical just to go
F#m                         D
When the crumbs of youthful pleasures go stale
         A          E
And give way to the undertow
F#m                              D
Thought the Golden Gate would be beautiful
         A                          E
Hate the height, but it's a helluva view
F#m                       D                     A
Swan dive, leave it all behind, but now there's you

[Chorus]
F#m                   D     A
And it's bearing down, it's bearing down
F#m                          D             A
I can't leave you here alone, it's bearing down
F#m               D     A
It's bearing down, it's bearing down
F#m                    D                     A
I can't leave you here alone with it bearing down

[Verse 3]
F#m                          D           A
I see you shining in the sun again and I know
F#m                      D            A           E
For the first time in forever I'm certain I can't go
F#m                      D
You're the one I want to wither with
A                             E
I want to see you when you're old
F#m                        D
And be the one to keep you warm
A
When the world turns cold

[Chorus]
F#m              D      A
It's bearing down, it's bearing down
F#m                 D                 A
Hallelujah, we're alive, it's bearing down
F#m                      D     A
I know it's bearing down, it's bearing down
F#m                    D              A
Hallelujah, we're alive, it's bearing down
