                G   F#m       Em      D 
 You know that bad luck will eat you up
 G  A               
 Whens it gonna end?
 G                F#m          Em 
  I twisted everything I could 
              D 
 Out of words 
                  G  A               G A 
 In real life my colours never blend 
              D      G         A  
 When I was a boy I said to myself
               D        G      F#m 
 That Id never lean on anyone else
         D          
 Oh, but I was wrong
      G          
 Yeah I was wrong
        A                                   
 And my mother took me by the hands and then
 
 D   G         A    
 Oh, oh how I prayed
          D               G         F#m      A 
 That the good Lord would come and take me away
           D         G             A 
 From this mess of a life that Im in
                  D     G         A   
 And I fell to my knees oh and I cried
        D               G           F#m          A 
 As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
         D           G           A 
 In this wreck of a life that Im in
         D           G           A 
 In this mess of a life that Im in

 I know its gonna get better 
                    D         G      A   
 And Im so sick and tired of lying around
                       D          G             F#m 
 Were all waiting for someone to light up this town
        D           
 Oh, it wont be long
    G           
 It wont be long
       A                                  D     
 And I know I should have left town but I stayed
 G         A    
 Oh how I prayed

     D    
 Sometimes
                                 G                        A   
 It seems that Im breathing in smoke and my lungs are so tired
    D   
 Oh well
                                    G
