You know life ain't easy it takes work, it takes healing cause you're gonna 
get hurt
Dm                       C     F                        G
You can lose your faith you can lose your shirt, lose your way sometimes
C G Am F
Ah you never really have control, sometimes you just gotta let it go

When the final line unfolds, it don't always rhyme
