[G] [D/F#] [C] [D]
[G] [D/F#] [D] [C] [D]
[G] In the [D/F#]waning days a[C]head
I [D]gotta look back down the [G]road
I [D/F#]know that it's [D]not too [C]late[D]
[G] All the [D/F#]stupid things I've [C]said
And [D]people I've hurt in my [G]time
Well I [D/F#]hope that it's [D]not my [C]fate[D]
[C] To keep de[D]feating[Bm] my own [C]self
[C] And keep re[D]peating[B] yesterd[Em]ay
[C] I can't [G/B]keep de[G]feating [D]myself
[C] I can't [G/B]keep re[G]peating[D/A] the mi[C]stakes of my youth
[G] In the [D/F#]dark of night I [C]might
Be [D]able to make myself [G]think
That I'm [D/F#]still a [D]younger [C]man[D]
[G] But when the [D/F#]light of day shines [C]down
There's [D]no way to get around [G]it
I am [D/F#]not the [D]younger [C]man[D]
[C] I keep de[D]feating[Bm] my own [C]self
[C] And keep re[D]peating[B] ye[B/D#]sterda[Em]y
[C] I can't [G/B]keep de[G]feating [D]myself
[C] I can't [G/B]keep re[G]peating[D/A] the mi[C]stakes of my youth
[C] The [C/D]choice [C/E]is [D]mine for making
[Bm] A better r[C]oad ahead
[C] The r[C/D]oad t[C/E]hat I[D]'ve been taking

[G] [D/F#] [C] [D]
[G] [D/F#] [D] [C] [D]
[G] In the [D/F#]final moments [C]I
[D]Hope that I know that I [G]tried
To [D/F#]do the [D]best I [C]could[D]
[C] To stop de[D]feating[Bm] my own [C]self
C D B (ch)B/D(/ch) Em Em/D
