[Am]It was good to be [G]there in the bright lights[C], mmm[Em]

[Am]It was good to be [G]living up the high lif[C]e, w[Em]oah
[Am]But the comedowns [G]harder in the headline[C]s, w[Em]oah
[Am]Everybody tells you, you should [G]play the [C]game[Em]
[Am]But there's only you to play, [G]there's only you to [C]play[Em]

[G]That lead me from the [C]streets[Em]
[Am]Don't tell me it's over, [G]cause I don't want to [C]believe[Em]
[Em]Cause now I've opened my [Am]eyes and I have [G]found a way to [C]breathe
Em (one strum)
The truth sets me free
[Verse 2]
[Am]I broke my back to make a [G]breakthrough, [C]mmm[Em]
[Am]I lost my mind, [G]look what it came to,[C] oh[Em]
[Am]I had to lose it [G]all so I could understand, [C]woah[Em]
Am G C (one strum)
I was just a boy in the shadow of a man
[Chorus 2]
