G                        Bm 
Oh I must have left some stones unturned 
   C        D       G 
Or could be quite a few 
G                       Bm                C   D 
There's a lot I've overlooked and  never knew 
             G                      Bm                
There's some things you learn while getting burned 
C               D      G 
Don't feel good at the time 
G               Bm     Am C 
Playing by your set of rules 
   G            Bm           Am7   D 
Pretending that you'll never lose 
G          Bm     Am7 
But I know better now 
G      Bm     Am7 
I know better now 
G       Bm     C         D      G    Am   
It just took a while to figure out 
G                           Bm 
There's so much to take for granted 
     C       D      G 
When life is going well 
                        Bm              C   D 
And when the tides will turn no one can tell 
G                       Bm 
Some wise men knew that played the blues 
     C          D      G 
That no one has hardly heard 
G                Bm       Am  C                        
The high cost of fooling yourself 
G         Bm            Am7  D 
Not mentioning everyone else 
G          Bm     Am7 
But I know better now 
G      Bm     Am7 
I know better now 
G       Bm     C         D      G       
It just took a while to figure out 
F          G   F           D 
Some mysteries hang on the breeze 
 
SOLO 
          G              Bm 
And we'll all go to some big hotel 
      C      D          G 
Where weary hearts can rest 
            Bm     Am   C        G            Bm           Am7  D 
Getting and giving more of the faith and the hope and the love 
G          Bm     Am7 
But I know better now 
G      Bm     Am7 
I know better now 
G       Bm     C         D      G       
It just took a while to figure out
