[Intro]
 D   Em   C   G|2x
[Verse]
GIs this a Dstate that you can't contrEmol
Or don't you Ccare who you're talking Gto
Each time when Dthings get out of Emhand
Why it's the Csame thing you always Gdo
You start Dto point out other people's Emmistakes
Sometimes you Ceven show conteGmpt
How come tDhe way you exclude yoEmurself
Can't you Csee that you're not exemGpt?
[Chorus]
CWrong tGhinking gets the Dbetter of Gyou
CIt oGnly takes a Dmoment or Gtwo
CComes Gstealin' like a Dthief in the Gnight
CChanges Gevery little Dthing in sGight
CWrong tGhinking gets the Dbetter of yGou.
 D   Em   C   G|2x
[Verse]
GWell it's Dthe same old thing that haEmppens
Every tCime you react that Gway
Tomorrow yDou'll want to foEmrget
EverytChing you said toGday
But everyDtime something reminds Emyou
You plCay the same old game insGide
Any eDxcuse in the book will Emdo
EverytChing can be justifiGed.
[Chorus]
CWrong tGhinking gets the Dbetter of Gyou
CIt oGnly takes a Dmoment or Gtwo
CComes Gstealin' like a Dthief in the Gnight
CChanges Gevery little Dthing in sGight
CWrong tGhinking gets the Dbetter of yGou.
DBetter of yEmou. CGets the better of Gyou.

[Intro]

D Em C G

|2x

[Verse]

G D Em

Is this a state that you can't control

C G

Or don't you care who you're talking to

D Em

Each time when things get out of hand

C G

Why it's the same thing you always do

D Em

You start to point out other people's mistakes

C G

Sometimes you even show contempt

D Em

How come the way you exclude yourself

C G

Can't you see that you're not exempt?

[Chorus]

C G D G

Wrong thinking gets the better of you

C G D G

It only takes a moment or two

C G D G

Comes stealin' like a thief in the night

C G D G

Changes every little thing in sight

C G D G

Wrong thinking gets the better of you.

D Em C G

|2x

[Verse]

G D Em

Well it's the same old thing that happens

C G

Every time you react that way

D Em

Tomorrow you'll want to forget

C G

Everything you said today

D Em

But everytime something reminds you

C G

You play the same old game inside

D Em

Any excuse in the book will do

C G

Everything can be justified.

[Chorus]

C G D G

Wrong thinking gets the better of you

C G D G

It only takes a moment or two

C G D G

Comes stealin' like a thief in the night

C G D G

Changes every little thing in sight

C G D G

Wrong thinking gets the better of you.

D Em C G

Better of you. Gets the better of you.

D Em C G
