i wasn't sure about anything, no
G                  A         G   A   D
i was secure in a rendering headed west
   G              A         G

G                          A          G   A   D

color me damned, feeling petrified, yes
G                                A         G     A    D

it's a flash, from the otherside
G                                    A          G   A   D
fading fast goes the mast, it's a bitter climb  all i had

D                           G              A
and now i know your mad, i know you're filled with hate
D                          G                 A
i know that as i stand here you know i'm too late

Bm                         G
but do you know you can't be wrong
