_ [A] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ When I [C] was a young man [G]
looking for a [C] pot of gold _ _
Everywhere [C] I turned the [D] doors were closed
_ _ _ _ _ [G] Took every [C] ounce of faith I [G] had to keep on [C] keeping on
_ Still I felt [C] like I was [D] only losing
_ _ _ [C] I refused then [G] like I do now
Let anybody [C] tie me down
_ [G] I lost a few good friends along [D] the way
_ _ _ _ _ [C] I was raised up poor and I [G] wanted more
_ Maybe I'm a little [C] too proud
_ [G] Looking back I see a kid [D] who was just afraid
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ Hungry
_ _ [D] And oh [G] before his time _ _ _

[A] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Through the years [C] I've known the share [G] of brokenhearted [C] fools
And [G] _
those who couldn't [C] choose a path [D] worth taking
_ There's _ _ [G] nothing in [C] the world so [G] sad as [D] talking to a [C] man
_ _ [G] Never knew [C] his life was [D] his for me
_ _ _ _ [C] Ain't it about time [G] you realize
It's not worth keeping [C] _ score
[G] You win some you lose some [D] you let it go
_ _ _ _ _ [C] What's the use [G] of stacking on every failure another [C] stone
_ [G] Till you find you spend your whole life [D] building walls
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ Lonely
_ _ [D] And oh before [G] your time

_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] It took
_ _ So [Em] _ long to see _ _
That [C] truth
_ _ Was [Em] all _ around _ [D] me
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] Now the rain [C] is gone to prove [G] the skies turn and [C] go
_ _ [G] Like the sky [C] my soul is [D] also turning
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Turning [C] from the past at [G] last I'm all alone
[C] _ Could _ [G] _
it be [C] that I'm finally [D] learning
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
Learning that [G] I'm deserving
_ _ Love and a peaceful [C] _ heart
_ [G] Won't tear myself apart no more for [D] trying
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Died a lion to _ [G] myself
_ Trying to buy what can't [C] be bought
_ [D] It's not living that [G] you're doing feels like [D] dying
It's _ _ _ [C] _ _
crying
_ _ _ [D] Growing old [G] before your time
_ _ [E] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ Crying _
Growing [D] old before [G] your time _ _ _ _ _ _ _
