G+G B minorBm
Oh I must have left some stones unturned
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Or could be quite a few
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
There's a lot I've overlooked and never knew
G+G B minorBm
There's some things you learn while getting burned
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Don't feel good at the time
G+G B minorBm A minorAm C majorC
Playing by your set of rules
G+G B minorBm Am7Am7 D MajorD
Pretending that you'll never lose
G+G B minorBm Am7Am7
But I know better now
G+G B minorBm Am7Am7
I know better now
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD G+G A minorAm
It just took a while to figure out
G+G B minorBm
There's so much to take for granted
C majorC D MajorD G+G
When life is going well
B minorBm C majorC D MajorD
And when the tides will turn no one can tell
G+G B minorBm
Some wise men knew that played the blues
C majorC D MajorD G+G
That no one has hardly heard
G+G B minorBm A minorAm C majorC
The high cost of fooling yourself
G+G B minorBm Am7Am7 D MajorD
Not mentioning everyone else
G+G B minorBm Am7Am7
But I know better now
G+G B minorBm Am7Am7
I know better now
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD G+G
It just took a while to figure out
FF G+G FF D MajorD
Some mysteries hang on the breeze
SOLO
G+G B minorBm
And we'll all go to some big hotel
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Where weary hearts can rest
B minorBm A minorAm C majorC G+G B minorBm Am7Am7 D MajorD
Getting and giving more of the faith and the hope and the love
G+G B minorBm Am7Am7
But I know better now
G+G B minorBm Am7Am7
I know better now
G+G B minorBm C majorC D MajorD G+G
It just took a while to figure out
