[Bb] [Gm] Now some of us are weak, [Bb] some endure.
[Gm] Some people live their [Bb] lives with violence that's pure [Gm] and clean.
But I saw a man try [Bb] once, down on his knee, [Gm] in the corner of a [Bb] darkened step.
This pain meant nothing to [C] me, [Gm] but I was younger [C] then.
[Gm] Young men never [C] die.
[Gm] When I walked out in the [C] sun, I was strong, [Gm] clear-minded, and blind.
[Bb] [Gm] I don't say a prayer for [Bb] anyone, it doesn't do any [Gm] good.
Please don't ask me a question, [Bb] you'll just be [Gm] misunderstood.
And if you could step [Bb] inside me, you'd feel what hatred [Gm] brings.
And if you saw with my [Bb] eyes, you'd see what self [C]-deception means.
[Gm] I was younger [C] once, [Gm] and I created [C] lies.
[Gm] And though my body was [C] strong, I was self [Gm]-deluded, confident, and blind.
[Bb] [Gm]
[Bb] Now show some pity for a week of will.
[Gm] Because when we're drinking, [Bb] we can never be filled.
[Gm] Show some [Bb] understanding for the lonely fool.
[Gm] Because when I am drinking, I'm out of control.
[C] [Gm] I was never [C] young, [Gm] nothing has [C] transpired.
[Gm] And when I look in the [C] mirror, I feel dead, [Gm] I feel cold.
[Bb] Allah
Allah Allah
