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

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

The warning signs are like flares in the night

Still I proceed my greed is in spite of the fire
