Before I Knew Better

[C]No one thought that Id jump off that [F]rocky ledge
So I [C]did and I [G]broke my leg
[C]Then I let Jim Beam tell I could [F]take some guy
[C]Twice my size, but [G]old Jim lied
I [Em]cant pretend that I aint been my [Am]lifes own wrecking crew
And [Dm]Im surprised that Ive survived
All [G]Ive put myself through

(chorus)

Before I knew [C]better before I w[Am]oke up
I did a [F]whole lot of crazy, foolish things Im [G]not proud of
It was just like [C]me to r[Am]isk it all
[F]Even when the pain outweighed the [G]pleasure
Before I knew [C]better

[C]You were the first to ever make me [F]wanna change
My [C]wreckless ways and I [G]almost did
[C]Somehow I lost track and wound up [F]givin in
To the [C]late night life and the [G]good time friends
You [Em]swore to me one day youd leave and [Am]all I had to say
Was [Dm]theres the door what you waitin for
And who [G]needs you anyway

(repeat chorus)

[Dm]Girl I pray somehow someway we can [Am]turn this thing around
I [Dm]thought your love was something [G]I could live without

(repeat chorus) key change:
Before I knew[G#]
Before I knew [C#]better before I [A#m]woke up
I said a [F#]whole lot of crazy, foolish things Im [G#]not proud of
It was just like [C#]me to r[A#m]isk it all
[F#]Even when the pain outweighed the [G#]pleasure
Before I knew [C#]better
