INTRO:
E A E A
VERSE:
E
I got some backside discipline
A
From shattering a window with a baseball
E
Had to stay after class, call mom and dad
A
Made me tell 'em how I mouthed off
E
And I got this scar and broke my arm
A
When I tried to jump that fence
E
Man I hurt from it
A
But yeah I learned from it
VERSE:
E
But that summer cutting' grass, savin' cash
A
To buy that truck I wrecked in three months
E
Or the time I got sick in my backyard
A
For a first dip it was way too much
E
And I guess dad really did count
A
The beers in the basement fridge
E
He got stern from it
A
But yeah I learned from it
CHORUS:
E
Yeah we learn from it
A
All of 'em days when we were young and wild
E
Yeah we turned up that little town
A
With all those Friday nights
E
'Cause growing' up with nothin' to do
A
Makes you play with fire a little
E
'Til we get burned from it
A
But yeah we learn,
E E A
Yeah we learn from it
VERSE:
E
Yeah it's all out of sight out of mind
A
Just lookin' for a story to tell
E
And all that time we were killing' time
A
Mama prayed we didn't kill ourselves
E
'Cause we all got a story striking out lookin'
A
A bad first kiss
E
But when you're 17 it's everything
A
But now lookin' back on it
CHORUS:
E
Yeah we learn from it
A
All of 'em days when we were young and wild
E
Yeah we turned up that little town
A
With all those Friday nights
E
'Cause growing' up with nothin' to do
A
Makes you play with fire a little
E
'Til we get burned from it
A
But yeah we learn,
A E E A E
Yeah we lear-earn from it
A
Yeah we learn
BREAK:
E
I guess sometimes the raisin' hell
A
Does the raisin' up it's true
E
It ain't about the mistakes you make
A
It's the mistakes that make you
CHORUS:
E
Learn from it
A
All of 'em days when we were young and wild
E
Yeah we turned up that little town
A
With all those Friday nights
E
'Cause growing' up with nothin' to do
A
Makes you play with fire a little
E
'Til we get burned from it
A
But yeah we learn,
A E E A
Yeah we lear-earn from it
A E E
Yeah we lear-er-earn
A
Yeah we learn
