[Intro]
(Starting with the drums)
[D] [Em] [D/F#] [G] [A]
[Verse 1]
[D]I have learnt through all my p[G]ast mistakes
[C]Not to let the hurdles sap my e[D]nergy
[D]Time will tell and time is a[G]ll it takes
[C]You won't see the bastards knock the r[D]unning out of me
[Chorus]
And the b[D]and, they played [Dsus]one m[D]ore s[A]ong
One [Asus]for the mock[A]ing b[Em]ird[D/F#], they played o[G]ne [D/F#]more s[C]ong[G]

[D] [Em] [F#m] [G] [A]
[Verse 2]
[D]Don't be fooled by those who f[G]eed you words
[C]They just twist and tighten up the t[D]ourniquet
But the sw[D]eetest song of all the m[G]ocking birds
[C]Couldn't hope to match one note of a[D]ny song we played
[Chorus]
And the b[D]and, they played [Dsus]one m[D]ore s[A]ong
