VERSE 1
G                     Em7
Don't know much about practicing what I preach
G                            Em7
Don't know how to be envious without jealousy
G                                       Em7
Don't know how to hold my temper when I have to get in the last word
G                              Em7
Don't know how to speak softly and still be heard
Cadd9                            A7sus4
But before I lose everything and everyone who loves me


CHORUS
G                                 Cadd9
God if you're listening would you have a message sent
G                                 Cadd9
Cause I need to be a better lover brother and a friend
G                                 Cadd9
God if you're listening would you come up with some change
Em7                                  Dsus4
Cause I wake up every morning with a penny to my name


VERSE 2
G                                  Em7
Don't know much about love cause I get the same crap from every guy
G                                     Em7
Don't know how to see the grass being greener on my side
G                            Em7
Don't know much about wisdom without being jaded
G                                Em7
Don't know how to take criticism without feeling hated
Cadd9                            Dsus4
But before I lose everything and everyone who loves me


CHORUS


BRIDGE
Em7               Cadd9
Whoa man I'm everything I said I wouldn't be
Em7                        Dsus4
Standing here with nothing will you help me


VERSE 3
G                                     Em7
Don't know how to tell a joke without putting my foot in my mouth
G                             Em7
Don't know how to be intimate if I don't have a crowd
G                            Em7
Don't know how to be hopeful what if they let me down
Cadd9                                A7sus4
I don't know how to keep myself from hurting everyone
