[Intro] (x2)
A , C9 , Em7 , A , G

[Verse 1]
A                 C9
 I'd be kidding myself,
              Em7        A
To think that I'd be any use to you at all,
G         Em7             A7
Tell me something I don't know,
A             C9
 Just another notch in your belt,
   Em7              A
Is all that I would end up being, so,
G         Em7             A7
Tell me something I don't know.

[Pre-Chorus]
D                           Em7  C9
  Any lesson you've learned,
                       A  D
Is gone in the moment,          
You know you probably get burned,
B7
   But here you go like you own it.

[Chorus]
        G                       C9
And you give it all that you're worth,
        A7                        D
Make it loud in hopes that you're heard,
          G                 C9               A7          
With your deepest cuts just strewn and spilling out.

[Verse 2]
With a little finesse,
I might have wound up somewhere better than the floor,
Tell me something I don't know,
I'm a bit of a mess,
But tucked-in, brushed-off, I look somewhat like before,
Tell me something I don't know.

[Pre-Chorus]
Any lesson you've learned,
Is gone again with the moment,
You call her name as she turns,
You know you've already blown it.

[Chorus]
Still you give it all that you're worth,
Say it loud in hopes that you're heard,
With your deepest cuts just strewn and spilling out.

[Bridge]
        G                      C9
And you know that you'll never win,
       A                      C9
So you take your lumps on the chin,
    G                    C9              A
And you're still smiling as you're blacking out,
Woo-hoo woah-oh.

[Instrumental] (x4)
G , C9 , Em7 , C9

[Chorus]
And you give it all that you're worth,
Make it loud in hopes that you're heard,
With your deepest cuts just strewn and spilling out.

[Outro]
Cause you know that you'll never win,
So you drop your hands and you grin,
And you're still smiling as you're blacking out.
Woo-hoo woah-oh (x8)
