Chorus:

Ab5                            Db5
Some people gotta learn the hardway,
         Ab5
I guess I'm the kinda guy
              Db5
That has to find out for myself.
Ab5                   Db5
I had to learn the hardway, Father,
Ab5                       Db5         Ab5
I'm on my knees and I'm cryin' for help.

Verses:
Ab5                 Db5
Now I've been high, and I've been low
Ab5                              Db5
I've been some places that you will not go......
F5                               Eb5
But I've been searchin' for a long, long time
F5                           Eb5
I thought the devil was a friend of mine......
(Chorus)
