CAPO 4

VERSE

G
Life goes on from the dusk to the dawn. 

Em 
From old song to new song. 

C                                                 G      D 
And you find yourself on the path you don't want to be on. 

G                                     Em 
I sing songs I don't like to strangers every night. 

C                               G        D 
They don't know me at all in this bar. Mm. 

VERSE PART 2

Em                                                  C
Sometimes I wish I never quit smoking, I had meaningful conversations back then. 

 G                                            D
So think a little stop drinking because of that. 


So fill your cup and spill your guts this second's all we have. 


CHORUS

             C                     G                     Em                 D
And if the tears come you should own them, you should wear each one with pride. 

                   C                     G                  Em          D
Cause I've been praying for so long that they were brought them from my own eyes.

C                                 G      D
Everyday I try to look at the bright side. 

C                                        G        D
I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself. 


VERSE

G   
Time stops a husband is taken.

Em                                                                        C
A two week old infant, with no father to raise him, watch him become a man. 

G                                               D
In the worst of my struggles he slipped through my hands. 

 Em                                C
So mother would you take this advice? 

                 G                                 D
There are some of us here who would like you to cry. 


CHORUS

And if the tears come could you own them, could you wear each one with pride? 
Cause we've been praying for so long they were brought down from our own eyes. 
Everyday I try to look at the bright side. 
I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself. 

C                                Em                     D 
I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself. 

C                                   Em                      D
Yeah, I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.
