Intro: (soft, electric guitars only)
| G#m A | E B |

Verse 1: (soft, electric guitars/drums only, bass in on 1st A)
| G#m A | E B | x4
It's a big bad world, were doing what we can
Sometimes we fall on our face, before we even learn to stand
But we get back up, shake off all the dust
And take it step by step

Pre-chorus 1: (medium)
| A| (x02220@1)E (022100@1)name="chord_x2444x@1">B | x3
I can fill the whole floor to the ceiling
With all the dead wrong choices I've made
And even though we try to learn
                   | E(quarter (022100@1)notes) | B(triplet's)| (x2444x@1)
From each others mistakes

Chorus 1: (loud)
| C#m A | E B | x4
We'll do it again (doing it again)
We'll do it again my friend (doing it again)
We'll do it again and again, til' eventually we change
The way it's always been

Verse 2:
| G#m A | E B |
It's a big bad dream, following your heart
Sometimes the one you, need's the one that tears you apart
So you say goodbye, kiss 'em one more time
And cry the whole way home

Pre-chorus 2:
| A| (x02220@1)E (022100@1)name="chord_x2444x@1">B | x3
I can fill up the driest river
With all the tears falling off of my face
And even though we try to learn
                   | E(quarter (022100@1)notes) | B(triplet's)| (x2444x@1)
From each others mistakes

| C#m A | E B |
We'll do it again my friend (doing it again)
| C#m A | E B |
We'll do it again and again, til' eventually we change
| C#m A | E B |
The way it's always been

We'll do it again and again, til' eventually we change
