G          D           Em
Gotta get out of this town
Been feelin' that way ever since my
feet touched this cursed ground
I made it so I couldn't even stand
With the help of this bottle in my hand

I stumbled around like a drunken fool
Too blind to see that I was just bein'
used like a throwaway tool
In those hard times, there was pain
But I found that a hard lesson learned
is wisdom gain'

Chorus:
                    Bm                 D
Cause though I may fall down with the sun
            G                 Bm
You better know that I'm not done
Bm                           D       A     A7
Cause I'll rise up with the morning light
Bm              D              G                Bm
Just because I fall, it don't mean I've lost it all
Bm                     D         Bm
It's all apart of the pendulum swing

It might be you're down on your luck
Oh, fallen on hard times, maybe given up
I've seen it a thousand times before
You shouldn't worry, there are such great
things in store

Chorus:
Though we may fall down with the sun,
you better know that we're not done
'Cause we'll rise up with the morning light
Oh, just because we fall, it don't mean
we've lost it all
It's all a part of the pendulum swing
It's all a part of the pendulum swing

It's all a part of the pendulum swing
