(A)                                  (D)
Been tryin' hard holding on, when I should've been lettin' go.
   (Bm)                                   (E)
And I spent a lifetime tryin' to learn, things I already know.

             (A)                                (D)
Chorus 2) Brother my stories a sad one, filled with failures 
                                 (A)
          and what they bring. At night I prey for the strength
                       (E)                         (A)
          to change, then I wake up to the same old thing.


(A)                                             (D)
Well I could build you a castle, with all the things I wish I knew.
     (Bm)                                   (E)
But it wont make kicking easier, and it wont make this lie come true. 

              
               (A) 
Chorus 3) Its feels like everyday is my last one, and i'm still
            (D)                          (A)
          waitin' for my phone to ring. Waitin' for that call
                                          (E)
          to set me straight, but still I wake up and its the 
                  (A)
          same old thing.
