Can't believe I'm the first one to upload tab for this- the song's great and it's 
not that hard to play.

Intro
G5 C5 E5 A5 E5 G5

Verse

        G5                               C5
We were born into nothing, hard up so to speak

        E5                              A5
But love and affection this family afforded me

        G5                               C5
Worries came early and often it seemed

        E5                              A5
Fate was not pleasant still I was redeemed

        G5                               C5
Then compassion soon faded to chaos

        D5                       G5      D5
As they did their best all the while

        E5                      C5
When circumstance outweighs intention

        D5
Sometimes the mountain's just too hard to climb

Chorus  
G5                       C5
They were cruel, they were ignorant

        D5               G5      D5
They were beauty, they were kind

        E5              C5
They were patience, they were virtue

        D5
They were crazy, they were mine


Intro again


I was young and I thought I knew everything
It's so hard to change a fool's mind
When you're stubborn by nature and quick to the draw
And you're full of inherited pride
But some lessons come harder than others
And some senses are harder to find
Your troubles won't end when you're saved by the bell
You'll still answer to those you defied

They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine

C5
The heavens might sing out your praises

G5
But the heavens won't pay for your lies

C5
The sinners might pray for your problems

D5
But the sinners won't look in your eye


Just play the chorus

They were crazy, they were mine

They were cruel, they were ignorant
They were beauty, they were kind
They were patience, they were virtue
They were crazy, they were mine

G and C until the end

The heavens might sing out your praises
But the heavens won't pray for your lies
The sinners might pay for your problems
But the sinner won't look in your eye
