                                G   F#m Em D 
 You know that bad luck will eat you up 
 G  A                 
 When??s 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 I??d 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 
    
                  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 I??m in
         D           G           A  
 In this mess of a life that I??m in
 
 G                  F#m       
 Come on you got a lot to give
   Em             
 A lot to live for
     D                G  A  
 And hope it all gets better
     G                      F#m        Em      
 You twisted everything you can out of anything
   D                  G  A     G A 
 I know it??s gonna get better 
                    D         G      A     
 And I??m so sick and tired of lying around
                       D          G             F#m  
 We??re all waiting for someone to light up this town
        D             
 Oh, it won??t be long
    G             
 It won??t be long
       A                                  D     
 And I know I should have left town but I stayed
 G         A    
 Oh how I prayed
           D              G         F#m      A 
 That the good Lord would come and take me away
 D G A 
    
                  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

 Oh and it feels like I??m writing a book and I can??t get inspired
     D    
 Sometimes
                                 G                        A     
 It seems that I??m breathing in smoke and my lungs are so tired
    D   
 Oh well
                                    G                           
 I??ll just sleep it all off and then hope that it don??t get me
 A    
 fired
                   D       
 And I??m asking you please
    G        A     
 Oh oh how I prayed
          D               G         F#m     A
