[Intro]
Abm                               Db
Some people gotta learn the hardway

             Abm
I guess I'm the kinda guy

                       Db
That has to find out for myself

Abm                        Db
I had to learn the hardway, Father

I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help
Abm Db [8x] [Verse 1]
Abm                            Db
Now I've been high and I've been low

Abm                               Db
I've been some places that you will not go

Abm                             Db
I never thought there would come the day

Abm                             Db
When I wished I never would've lived this way

Fm                             Eb
But I've been searching for a long, long time

Fm                              Eb
I thought the devil was a friend of mine

Fm                              Eb
I turned my back on everything that was true

Fm                              Eb
And wasted years that belong to you

Abm                            Db

[Verse 2]
Abm                    Db
It took so long for me to see

Abm                   Db
That I'm a victim of nature and me

Abm                  Db
Left to myself I realize

Abm                   Db
I am the maker of my own demise

Fm                           Eb
But you accept me every time and again

Fm                           Eb
And never mention just how selfish I've been

Fm                             Eb
Why must it always take me so long to see

Fm                             Eb
That I have fallen but you will forgive me?

Abm                      Db

[Rap] N.C The warning signs are like flares in the night N.C Still I proceed my greed is in spite of the fire N.C I know that's bound to burn N.C Why is it that I always gotta learn… [End]
