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