CHRONOLOGY:
INTRO: (CHORUS)
VERSE I:
Aadd9 C#m
I thought I was smart I thought I was right
D E
I thought it better not to fight
A F#m E
I thought there was a virtue in always being cool
A C#m D E
so when it came time to fight I thought I'll just step aside
A F#m E (FILL I&II)
and that time would prove you wrong and you would be the fool
CHORUS:
A C#m D E
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star lights begin
A F#m E
It's all a mystery
VERSE II:
Aadd9 C#m
Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
D E
Now than tell me when would be the
A F#m E
time that you would stand up and be a man
A C#m D E
for to lose I could accept but to surrender I just wet and regretted
A F#m E (FILL I&II)
This moment, oh that I, I was a fool
CHORUS:
VERSE III:
Aadd9 C#m
Cause I�m a man, not a boy
D E
and there are things you can�t avoid
A F#m E
you have to face them when you are not prepared to face them
A C#m D E
Oh I would if I could, but your with him now it�d do no good
A F#m E (FILL I&II)
I should have fought him but instead I let him...take me
CHORUS:
BRIDGE: D E D E (FILL I&II)
CHORUS:
END: Aadd9
