Ebm Ab
Now I've been high and I've been low
Ebm Ab
I've been some places that you will not go
Ebm Ab
I never thought there would come the day
Ebm Ab
When I wished I never would've lived this way
Cm A#
But I've been searching for a long, long time
Cm A#
I thought the devil was a friend of mine
Cm A#
I turned my back on everything that was true
Cm A#
And wasted years that belong to you

Ebm Ab
It took so long for me to see
Ebm Ab
That I'm a victim of nature and me
Ebm Ab
Left to myself I realize
Ebm Ab
I am the maker of my own demise
Cm A#
But you accept me every time and again
Cm A#
And never mention just how selfish I've been
Cm A#
Why must it always take me so long to see
Cm A#
That I have fallen but you will forgive me?

N.G
The warning signs are like flares in the night
N.G
Still I proceed my greed is in spite of the fire
N.G
I know that's bound to burn
N.G
Why is it that I always gotta learn…
