VERSE
A
Figuring out where I went wrong
F#m Em7 D
The script not followed, then was awfully long
A Bm7 A/C# F#m
Too much pluck, too little of
D A
The acting right, not acting up
A
I wore the world upon my back
F#m Em7 D
Though someone else could meet, pick up the slack
A Bm7 A/C# F#m
Just because I could say
D A
It's my life, do things my way
CHORUS
D
Now I'm looking up more than I look down
A D A
The view's a whole lot better second time around
D
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows
Bm A/C# D E7
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground

Nowadays, I'm thinking 'bout
D A
Time is wasted looking back
CHORUS
D
Now I'm looking up more than I look down
A D A
The view's a whole lot better second time around

Too much of me was hidden in the shadows

I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground

You drop a bucket in a well

It's dark and deep down there

Crank the handle, bring it up

The water, crystal clear
