Verse 1 
A5 
I've seen it goin' 'round when you get bad news 
 
Thinkin' that you found a darker shade of blue 
G5                                D5 
Lookin' for the light and it's a long way back 
                                      C5       A5 
You know without a fight you're gonna fade to black 
A5 
Never was a man that ever felt this way 
 
one who couldn't stand to live another day 
G5                           D5 
hard times seem to have the corner on you 
                          C5     A5 
but you can rise from the ashes too 
 
Chorus 
         D5               C5              G5         A5 
When I'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat 
         D5             C5           G5       A5 
and even I believe I'm never gonna find my feet 
    D5                                    A5 
Two ways you can go you can ask anybody around 
         G5                E5                   A5 
one mans half way up is another mans half way down 
 
Verse 2 
A5 
Now you may decide it's a losin' game 
 
even in your stride you're gonna call it lame 
G5                            D5 
Gettin' one leg up when it's said and done 
                              C5       A5 
is the hardest part no matter how you run 
A5 
If you can walk away from a crash and burn 
 
you'll appreciate every step you earn 
G5                             D5 
and if you feel the ground is gainin' on you 
                               C5         A5 
you're already bound to take a different view 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
Bridge 
D5                     A5 
One mans ceiling is another mans floor 
D5                        A5 
One mans wall could be another mans door 
C5                   D5 
One mans smile is another mans frown 
              F5                 E5               A5 
and there are miles of half way up and half way down
