In the waning days ahead
C# F#
I gotta look back down the road
C#/F C# B C#
I know that it's not too late
F# C#/F B
All the stupid things I've said
C# F#
And people I've hurt in my time
C#/F C# B C#
Well I hope that it's not my fate
B C# A#m B
To keep defeating my own self
B C# A# D#m
And keep repeating yesterday

I can't keep defeating myself
B F#/A# F# C#/G# B
I can't keep repeating the mistakes of my youth

Be able to make myself think
