[F#] [E]
[F#] [E] Here I've had [C#m] my share [G#m] of broken [A] dreams
[C#m] And more [B] than a [A] couple of [E] falls
And in chasing [C#m] what [G#m] I thought [A] were moonbeams
[C#m] I have run [B] into a [A] couple of [F#] walls
[C#m] But in looking back [B] at the places I've been
[F#m] And the [E] changes that I've [A] left behind
I just look at myself to find
[F#] I've learned the hard [C#m] way every [B] time
[E] Oh, so [C#m] I've had my share [G#m] of good [A] intentions
[C#m] And I've made [B] my share of [A] mistakes
[E] And I've [C#m] learned in times it's [G#m] [A] best to bend
Cause [C#m] if you don't, [B] well, those are the [E] breaks
[C#m] Should have listened to [B] all the things I was told
But I [F#] was young [G#m] and too proud at [A] the time
[F#m] Now I look at [G#m] myself to [A] find
[B] I've learned the hard [C#m] way every time
[B] [E]
[C#m] [G#m] [A] [C#m]
[B] [A] [E] [C#m] But in looking back at [B] the lessons I've learned
From [F#m] the mountains [G#m] I wanted [A] to climb
[A] [F#m] I just look at [G#m] myself [A] to find
I've [B] learned the hard [C#m] way every [B] time
[E] Cause I've [C#m] had my share [G#m] of broken [A] dreams
[C#m] And more [B] than a couple [A] of [E] falls
And in chasing [C#m] what I [G#m] thought were [A] moonbeams
[C#m] I have run [B] into a couple [F#m] of walls
[E] [C#m] But in looking back at [B] the faces I've been
I [F#m] would sure be [G#m] the first [A] one to say
[F#m] That when I look at [G#] myself [A] today
I [B] wouldn't have done [C#m] it any other [B] way
[E] [B] [E]
