In the waning days ahead
G# C#
I gotta look back down the road
G#/C G# F# G#
I know that it's not too late
C# G#/C F#
All the stupid things I've said
G# C#
And people I've hurt in my time
G#/C G# F# G#
Well I hope that it's not my fate
F# G# Fm F#
To keep defeating my own self
F# G# F A#m
And keep repeating yesterday
F# C#/F C# G#
I can't keep defeating myself
F# C#/F C# G#/D# F#
I can't keep repeating the mistakes of my youth
C# G#/C F#
In the dark of night I might
G# C#
Be able to make myself think
G#/C G# F# G#
That I'm still a younger man
C# G#/C F#
But when the light of day shines down
