Verse 1:
[Eb]When I was young I was [Bb]so full of fear
I [F]hid behind anger and [Ab]held back the tears
It was [Eb]me against the world and I was [Bb]sure that I'd win
But the [F]world fought back punished me [Ab]for my sins
I [Eb]felt so alone so i[Bb]nsecure
I [F]blamed me instead and made [Ab]sure I was heard
And they [Eb]tried to warn me of my [Eb]evil ways
But I [F]couldn't hear what they [Ab]had to say
Chorus 1:
I was [Eb]wron[Bb]g s[F]elf destruction [Ab]got me again
I was [Eb]wron[Bb]g I [F]realise now that [Ab]I was wrong
Verse 2:
And I [Eb]think about my loves well I've [Bb]had a few
I'm [F]sorry that I hurt them, did I [Ab]hurt you too?
I [Eb]took what I wanted put my [Bb]heart on the shelf
[F]How can you love when you [Ab]don't love yourself
It was [Eb]me against the world I was [Bb]sure that I'd win
But the [F]world fought back punished me [Ab]for my sins
And they [Eb]tried to warn me of my [Bb]evil ways
But I [F]couldn't hear what they [Ab]had to say
Chorus 2:
I was [Eb]wro[Bb]ng [F]self destruction [Ab]got me again
I was [Eb]wro[Bb]ng I [F]realise now that [Ab]I was wrong

Well I [Bb]grew up fast I [F]grew up hard
[Ab]Something was wrong from the [Bb]very start
I was fighting everybody I was [F]fighting everything
But the [Ab]only one that I [Bb]hurt was me
I got society's blood running [F]down my face
[Ab]Somebody help me get [Bb]out of this place
How could someone's bad [F]luck last so long
Un[Ab]til I realised that [Bb]I was wrong
