I was Amborn one morning in December On the coldest day
AEmbandoned by my mother
By my E7father I was raised
My Amfather raised my brother and I With a stubborn heart
My Emmother left me her good looks and E7confident charm.
Well I Amspent most of my teenage years Searching for her love
I Emcould not find it anywhere
SE7o I turned to drugs
And Amafter all the smoke had cleared And it was said and done
I Emfound myself addicted by the E7age of 21
I tell the Amtruth
I've been Ambeaten I've been bruised, I was left for dead as well
I was Emwrongfully accused
You left me E7locked inside a cell.
I've been Amcheated I've been sued, But I have lived to tell
The Emmore you kick me when I'm down
The E7more it truly helps.
I Amfeel the madness creeping slowly
LCoved by many I'm still lonely
PDmay the price for your mistake
The E7music died the day I walked Amaway.
NAmo, I wont let you Cwin!
Not this time my Dmfriend,
You know that I'm E7better in the end.
NAmo, you wont take my Cpride!
I'll keep my head held Dmhigh.
Cause I know that I'm E7better in the end.
Woaaah,
I Amknow you're jealous And you wish you could be me
IEm'm so smart and clever with my E7lyrics can't you see?
TAmhere's nobody better in this Music Industry!
And in Emcase you think you are, go ahead, E7give me a ring!
Woaaah,
I Amdeserve a purple heart From all my fucking wounds!
LEmacerations to my ego,
PE7ride that I consume.
And Amin your final hours When you are looking back
You'll Emfind that I'm the best at what I E7do And that's a fact.
NAmo, I wont let you Cwin!
Not this time my Dmfriend,
You know that I'm E7better in the end.
NAmo, you wont take my Cpride!
I'll keep my head held Dmhigh.
Cause I know that I'm E7better in the end.
And all got to Dmsay
(Do do do Amdo do do do Cdo, Gbah bah bah Dmda,
Do do do Amdo do do do Cdo, lGa la la la la la)

But Amyou best believe me it's Ctrue!

Chords in this song · guitar

I was born one morning in December On the coldest day

Abandoned by my mother

By my father I was raised

My father raised my brother and I With a stubborn heart

Em E7

My mother left me her good looks and confident charm.

Well I spent most of my teenage years Searching for her love

I could not find it anywhere

So I turned to drugs

And after all the smoke had cleared And it was said and done

Em E7

I found myself addicted by the age of 21

I tell the truth

I've been beaten I've been bruised, I was left for dead as well

I was wrongfully accused

You left me locked inside a cell.

I've been cheated I've been sued, But I have lived to tell

The more you kick me when I'm down

The more it truly helps.

I feel the madness creeping slowly

Loved by many I'm still lonely

Pay the price for your mistake

E7 Am

The music died the day I walked away.

Am C

No, I wont let you win!

Not this time my friend,

You know that I'm better in the end.

Am C

No, you wont take my pride!

I'll keep my head held high.

Cause I know that I'm better in the end.

Woaaah,

I know you're jealous And you wish you could be me

Em E7

I'm so smart and clever with my lyrics can't you see?

There's nobody better in this Music Industry!

Em E7

And in case you think you are, go ahead, give me a ring!

Woaaah,

I deserve a purple heart From all my fucking wounds!

Lacerations to my ego,

Pride that I consume.

And in your final hours When you are looking back

Em E7

You'll find that I'm the best at what I do And that's a fact.

Am C

No, I wont let you win!

Not this time my friend,

You know that I'm better in the end.

Am C

No, you wont take my pride!

I'll keep my head held high.

Cause I know that I'm better in the end.

And all got to say

Am C G Dm

(Do do do do do do do do, bah bah bah da,

Am C G

Do do do do do do do do, la la la la la la)

Take it or leave it

Am C

But you best believe me it's true!

Dm Am C

There's no mistaking, please stop thinking I'm through!

You know I'm better than you!

Am C

No, I wont let you win!

Not this time my friend,

You know that I'm better in the end.

Am C

No, you wont take my pride!

I'll keep my head held high.

Cause I know that I'm better in the end.

In the end.

C G Dm

(Do do do do do do do do, bah bah bah da,

Am C G

Do do do do do do do do, la la la la la la)
