[Verse]
D C G Em
Did you know that you could be wrong And swear you’re right
D C G Em
Some people been known to do it all their lives
D C G Em
But you find yourself alone just like you found yourself before
D C G Em
Like I found myself in pieces on my hotel floor
G Em
Hard times help me see
[Chorus]
D/F#
I’m a good man with a good heart
G
Had a tough time, got a rough start
Bm Asus G
But I finally learned to let it go
D/F#
Now I’m right here, and I’m right now
G
And I’m hoping, knowing somehow
Bm Asus
That my shadows days are over
G
My shadow days are over now
[Solo]

D C G Em
Well I’m not some trouble maker and I never meant her harm
D C G Em
But it doesn’t mean I didn’t make it hard to carry on
D C G Em
Well it sucks to be honest (honest) and it hurts to be real
D C G Em
But it's nice to make some love that I can finally feel
G Em
Hard times let me be
[Chorus]
