Intro (x2) 
A, Cadd9, Em7, A, G 

verse 1 
A                 Cadd9 
 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             Cadd9 
 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  Cadd9 
  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. 


G Cadd9 And you give it all that you're worth, A7 D Make it loud in hopes that you're heard, G Cadd9 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.
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 Cadd9 And you know that you'll never win, A Cadd9 So you take your lumps on the chin, G Cadd9 A And you're still smiling as you're blacking out, Woo-hoo woah-oh. Instrumental (x4) G, Cadd9, Em7, Cadd9
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)
