A                 Cadd9
 I'd be kidding myself,

              Em7        A
To think that I'd be any use to you at all,

G         Em7             A7
Tell me something I don't know,

A             Cadd9
 Just another notch in your belt,

   Em7              A
Is all that I would end up being, so,

G         Em7             A7
Tell me something I don't know.

[Pre-Chorus]

D                           Em7  Cadd9
  Any lesson you've learned,

                       A  D
Is gone in the moment,

You know you probably get burned,

B7
   But here you go like you own it.

[Chorus]

        G                       Cadd9
And you give it all that you're worth,

        A7                        D
Make it loud in hopes that you're heard,

          G                 Cadd9               A7          
With your deepest cuts just strewn and spilling out.

[Verse 2] With a little finesse, I might have wound up somewhere better than the floor, Tell me something I don't know, I'm a bit of a mess, But tucked-in, brushed-off, I look somewhat like before, Tell me something I don't know. [Pre-Chorus] Any lesson you've learned, Is gone again with the moment, You call her name as she turns, You know you've already blown it. [Chorus] Still you give it all that you're worth, Say it loud in hopes that you're heard, With your deepest cuts just strewn and spilling out. [Bridge]

        G                      Cadd9
And you know that you'll never win,

       A                      Cadd9
So you take your lumps on the chin,

    G                    Cadd9              A
And you're still smiling as you're blacking out,

Woo-hoo woah-oh. [Instrumental] (x4) G, Cadd9, Em7, Cadd9 [Chorus] And you give it all that you're worth, Make it loud in hopes that you're heard, With your deepest cuts just strewn and spilling out. [Outro] Cause you know that you'll never win, So you drop your hands and you grin, And you're still smiling as you're blacking out. Woo-hoo woah-oh (x8)
