 In the waning days ahead

I gotta look back down the road

I know that it's not too late 
G        D/F#               C 
 All the stupid things I've said

And people I've hurt in my time 
       D/F#           D      C     D

 In the dark of night I might

Be able to make myself think 
         D/F#    D       C     D 
That I'm still a younger man 
G             D/F#                C 
 But when the light of day shines down

There's no way to get around it

 A better road ahead 
C     C/D  C/E  D

Bm      Bm/F#     Em 
 Headed for a dead-end

 But it's not too late to turn around

D                       G 
Hope that I know that I tried 
   D/F#   D      C      D 
To do the best I could 

C          D      Bm      C 
 To stop defeating my own self 
C           D      B  B/D Em  Em/D 
 And stop repeating yesterday 
C        G/B    G       D 
 I can't keep defeating myself
