[Intro] G  Em  Bm  A

               G
Broke an early promise
                 Em
Put trust in an unknown
                Bm
Fell headlong into the arms
                  A
Of the first that stirred me
                       G
Unsteadied a steady heart
                            Em
And took me to a place I've never been
                   Bm         A
A place I've never been since

                           G
Stopped hoping at an early age
                             Em
Stopped guessing at an early age
                            Bm
Start accepting things from day one
                         A
And then things can't go too wrong

And you can see it in the way
G
Thеy look at you
                       Em
Feel it in the way they  treat you
           Bm
Always the last to know
           A
Always the first to leave
                   G
And when the sky begins to fall
                                  Em
The blame - all along in you - is yours
                         Bm
Wakes you with a fever at  five
                          A
Your guardian angel gives up the ghost

[Estribillo]

                       G
Just let them walk all over you
                                  Em
Laugh through the punches and the pain
                          Bm
Let the life-blood drain away from you
                         A
Thеy're right, you're wrong
