[Intro]
*  D*  G*  A*  G*  A*  D* D*
[Verse]
DYou gave me the world when I was G12 years old,
AI learned to carry that lDoad
*                     D  G  
And all I asked in return, Lord,
Was not a lAong and winding rDoad
*                        D  G  
I took some teasin' when I was young,
You know them kAids, they threw sticks and sDtones.
*                  D  G  
I had to learn to bite my tongue,
                                A    D4    D2    D4    D2 D  
Cause you said they could never know.
[Chorus]
- SAometimes I wanna sBmmoke and pGlay,
You know I wDanna stay oGut all nAight
Well DI get tempted and AI get tBmired of
BGein' and dDoin' evAerything rDight
Well, lBmife's not about the wGay you lDive,
It's what you kGnow to be rAight
So just kDeep on cryin' and leAarnin' and tBmryin'
To lGove one aDnother in sApite of sDpite,
To lGove one aDnother in sApite of sDpite. -
[Instrumental]
 D*  G*  A*  G*  A*  D* D  
[Verse]
DWe should've told them the tGruth by now, Lord,
AThey won't believe my Dways
*                         D  G  
I'm just a man, I have my ups and downs,
You know I hAave my share of bad dDays
*                         D  G  
But I ain't friends with Billy Graham
And you can't fAind me on the telepDhone
*                       D  G  
You probably don't recognize me, people,
                        A    D4    D2    D4    D2 D  
I ain't on them damn TV shows.
[Chorus]
- SAometimes I wanna sBmmoke and pGlay,
You know I wDanna stay oGut all nAight
Well DI get tempted and AI get tBmired of
BGein' and dDoin' evAerything rDight
Well, lBmife's not about the wGay you lDive,
It's what you kGnow to be rAight
So just kDeep on cryin' and leAarnin' and tBmryin'
To lGove one aDnother in sApite of sDpite,
To lGove one aDnother, to lGove one aDnother,
Oh to lGove one anDother in sApite of sDpite.
