Second Time Around

C C/D Am Am/B C C/D Am Am/B

[Verse 1]
C                                 C/D   Am
Tell me when it's too late for forgiveness
          Am/B  C
If I apologize
                          C/D   Am
In the mirror is my only witness
                 Am/B   C
And he don't sympathize

[Pre-Chorus]
F                        C
Been at war with myself, makin' my friends the enemy
G
I let all of them down
F                                C
And I've been livin' in Hell, a prison of my identity
G
There's nothing left of me now

[Chorus]
C                     C/D   Am
I'm asking life for another chance
                   Am/B   C
Before they put me in the ground
                     C/D   Am
Lord, I swear I will do my best
                 Am/B   C
On my second time around
                     C/D    Am
I will live nothing like my past
               Am/B   C
I will make my mother proud
                       C/D    Am
There will be no mistakes on my
                            Am/B  C
Second time around, second time around

[Verse 2]

C                              C/D   Am
I don't think I can make it to Heaven
             Am/B  C
Believe me, I will try
                           C/D  Am
I will not waste a day I am given
             Am/B   C
Like years I let go by


[Pre-Chorus]
F                        C
Been at war with myself, makin' my friends the enemy
G
I let all of them down
F                                C
And I've been livin' in Hell, a prison of my identity
G
There's nothing left of me now

[Chorus]
C                     C/D   Am
I'm asking life for another chance
                   Am/B   C
Before they put me in the ground
                     C/D   Am
Lord, I swear I will do my best
                 Am/B   C
On my second time around
                     C/D    Am
I will live nothing like my past
               Am/B   C
I will make my mother proud
                       C/D    Am
There will be no mistakes on my
                            Am/B  C
Second time around, second time around

[Bridge]
F      C                        D
You've caught me in a thousand lies now
                   D/E
But I swear this is the last
F       C                          D
And I'm scared to look you in your eyes now
                  D/E
But our moment's left don't last

F             C             D
I've let down everyone that I call mine
D/E    F               C             G
God, I know I don't deserve it but I need more time

[Chorus]
     C                     C/D   Am
When I'm asking life for another chance
                   Am/B   C
Before they put me in the ground
                     C/D   Am
Lord, I swear I will do my best
                 Am/B   C
On my second time around
                     C/D    Am
I will live nothing like my past
               Am/B   C
I will make my mother proud
                       C/D    Am
There will be no mistakes on my
                            Am/B  C
Second time around, second time around

Second time around, mm
  C                C/D      Am
