Capo 3

                G                         D
LORD, I'VE BEEN TALKIN WHEN I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED
A                            D 
LISTENING WHEN I SHOULD HAVE SPOKE
G                       D 
LIGHTING A MATCH TO OLD MEMORIES
E7                     A
SENDING THEM ALL UP IN SMOKE
G                      D
SINGING WITH NO ONE TO HEAR ME
A                      D 
FIGHTING MY WAY TO THE TOP
G                       D 
ROLLING WITH ALL OF THE PUNCHES
A                        D
WONDERING IF THEY'D EVER STOP

 

TEARING DOWN WALLS BUILT IN PRISON
BUILDING UP DREAMS THAT WONT LAST
FINDING THE BRIDGES IM BURNING
HARDER TO HIDE THAN THE PAST
MAKING THE FUTURE LOOK BRIGHTER
FIGHTING MY WAY TO THE TOP
ROLLING WITH ALL OF THE PUNCHES
WONDERING IF THEY'D EVER STOP

LAUGHING AT JOKES THAT AREN'T FUNNY
BLAMING IT ALL ON THE BLUES
TAKING MY CHANCES FOR FREEDOM
BETTING WITH NOTHING TO LOSE
WINNING ON NOTHING BUT HUNCHES
FIGHTING MY WAY TO THE TOP
ROLLING WITH ALL OF THE PUNCHES
WONDERING IF THEY'D EVER STOP

ROLLING WITH ALL OF THE PUNCHES
LORD, HOW I WISH THEY WOULD STOP
