[Bb]
I [Eb] know how to hold a grudge
I can send [Bb] a bridge up in smoke
And [Eb] I can't count the people I've let down
[Ab] And the hearts I've broken
You [Eb] ain't gotta dig too deep
If you wanna find [Bb] some dirt [F] on me
But I'm [Cm] still learning who [Eb] you've been
Ain't who [Ab] you've gotta be
It's gonna [Fm] be an uphill climb
Oh [Ab] honey, I won't lie
I ain't [Eb] no angel
I [Ab] still got a few [Bb] more dances
[Cm] With the [Eb] devil
[Ab] I'm cleaning up [Bb] my act [F] little [Cm] by little
[Eb]
I'm getting there
[Ab] I can finally stand the man
In the mirror [Fm] I see
I ain't as good [Ab] as I'm gonna get
[Bb] But I'm better than I [Eb] used to be
[Bb]
[Gm] I've pinned a lot [Eb] of demons to the ground
I've got a few [Bb] old habits left
[Gm]
But there's still [Cm] one or two
[Gm] I might need you [Ab] to help me get
Standing [Eb] in the rain so long
Has left me with [Bb] a little rust
[Cm] But put some faith in me
And [Eb] one day you'll see
[Ab] There's a diamond under all this dust
I ain't [Eb] no angel
[Ab] I still got a few [Bb] more dances
[Eb] With the devil
[Ab] I'm cleaning up [Bb]
my act little [Cm] by little
I'm getting there
