[Verse 1]
G C Em D C
G D
Troubled youth
G D
Got the blues
D C E
Take a walk in those shoes
G D G
See how they fit for a while
D
I can bend
G Am
It's all pretend
Am Em
It's just fake until you mean it
G F#m G
And one day you'll mean it for real
G D Am G D Am
[Verse 2]
C G
Here's to new beginnings
G
And starting over
Am Em D
When you hope all's forgiven
C D
It's best not to ask for awhile
G Am
I believe some can see how to strike when it's red hot
C D G
And crumble the castle walls
[Chorus]
G C
If I bite the hook would you tell me I'm wrong?
G
You speak like a man who believes he's got no destiny
D
He's content
G
A trouble so great that you shouldn't have gone through
C
With a clarity I've never seen
G E D G
I will build you up until you're big enough to take me out
G D Am C G D Am C
[Verse 3]
G
I told you we'd see it through
Am Em
But you don't believe
D C
And that's the part that kills me
(And that's the part)
G
Promise me, promise me you will
[Chorus]
G C
If I bite the hook would you tell me I'm wrong?
Em
You speak like a man who believes he's got no destiny
D
He's content
G
A trouble so great that you shouldn't have gone through
C
With a clarity I've never seen
G Em D C Em G
I will build you up until you're big enough to pick me up
G D C Em D C
