Intro.:  |(C) |(F) |(C) |(G) |(C) |(F) |(G)(F)|(C) 

I know some-(C)body whose life is tough, I help a (F)little, but it isn't enough
'Cause I go spend (C)money on stupid stuff, when I know he's (G)strugglin' to stay above

An' I have so (C)many chances to be the hero I be-(F)lieve inside of me
But I get (C)busy and I get distracted and I do (G)nothin' when I could've acted

(Chorus)
I laid (F)low when I could've stood high, I said (C)nothin' when I should've asked why
I saw somethin' that I (G)might've done and I didn't, achance to (F)speak my truth and I (C)hid it inside
I'd (F)like to believe I'm cool, easy to (C)love and hard to fool
But I know there's (G)more I could've enjoyed, sometimes I (F)find myself thinkin'
(G)Maybe I missed the (C)point

So many (C)times I turned down love, stayed in the (F)dark when I could've lit it up, 
But every (C)time I did take a chance, makes me (G)happy when I'm lookin' back

I'm not sayin' my (C)whole life feels like a joke, but I've been a (F)master of mirrors and smoke
And I don't wanna (G)live (F) no more without (C) you
