There'll be days

When I'll stray

I may appear to be

Constantly out of reach

I give in

Because I like to practice what I preach

I'm not trying to say

I'll have it all my way

I'm always willing to learn

When you've got something to teach

Em D Am

And I'll make it all worthwhile

C D

I'll make your heart smile

Pain will you return it

Em C A

I'll say it again - pain

Pain will you return it

Em C A

I'll say it again - pain

Pain will you return it

Em C A

I'll say it again - pain

Pain will you return it

Em C A

I won't say it again
