G
Life goes on from the dusk to the dawn.
Em
From old song to new song
C G D
And you find yourself on the path you don't want to be on.
G
I sing songs I don't like
Em
to strangers every night.
C G D
They don't know me at all, and it's wrong. Mmm.
[Pre-chorus]
Em
Sometimes I wish I never quit smoking, I had
C
meaningful conversations back then.
G D
Don't think I'll ever stop drinking because of that.
So fill your cup and spill your guts, this second's all we have.
[Chorus]
C G
And if the tears come you should own them,
Em D
you should wear each one with pride.
C G
Cause I've been praying for so long they would
Em D
roll down from my own eyes.
C G D
Every day I try to look at the bright side.
C G D
I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.
[Verse 2]
G
Time stops, a husband is taken.
Em
A two week old infant, with no father to raise him,
C
watch him become a man.
G D
And the worst of my struggles seem to slip through my hands.
Em C
So mother would you take this advice?
G D
There are some of us here who would like you to cry.
[Chorus]
C G
And if the tears come could you own them,
Em D
could you wear each one with pride.
C G
Cause we've been praying for so long they would
Em D
roll down from our own eyes.
C G D
Every day I try to look at the bright side.
C G D
I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.
[Outro]
C Em D
I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about my-self.
C Em D
Yeah, I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.
