I set [B] myself down Tuesday, [A] wrote [E] myself a song.
Just things I want to say [A] about [E] what is wrong.
But all of my complaining, well it comes to no avail.
Things I really need to [A] say, I've yet to [F#] learn myself.
[A] Ah, but I [E] won't cry, no.
And I won't wail, no.
I tell myself [A] that you [E] never fail until it's over.
[A] And [E] when it's over, [A] it's over.

[A] I dig [E] myself a tunnel [A] so I could get [E] on under.
[A] And join the rest [E] of the human race, [A] just ask why [B] and wonder.
[A] But I [E] won't cry, no.
[A] And I [E] won't wail, no.
I tell myself that you never fail until it's over.
