G
Life goes on from the dusk to the dawn.
     Em
From old song to new song
        C                                                G     D
And you find yourself on the path you don't want to be on.
G
I sing songs I don't like
   Em
to strangers every night.
C                                   G        D
They don't know me at all, and it's wrong. Mmm.


[Pre-chorus]
Em
  Sometimes I wish I never quit smoking, I had
C
  meaningful conversations back then.
G                                       D
  Don't think I'll ever stop drinking because of that.

So fill your cup and spill your guts, this second's all we have.


[Chorus]
          C                     G
And if the tears come you should own them,
           Em                 D
you should wear each one with pride.
               C           G
Cause I've been praying for so long they would
Em                D
roll down from my own eyes.
      C                              G      D
Every day I try to look at the bright side.
  C                                           G        D
I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.


[Verse 2]
G
Time stops, a husband is taken.
Em
A two week old infant, with no father to raise him,
C
watch him become a man.
        G                             D
And the worst of my struggles seem to slip through my hands.
   Em                           C
So mother would you take this advice?
          G                         D
There are some of us here who would like you to cry.


[Chorus]
          C                    G
And if the tears come could you own them,
          Em                 D
could you wear each one with pride.
                C           G
Cause we've been praying for so long they would
Em                 D
roll down from our own eyes.
      C                          G         D
Every day I try to look at the bright side.
  C                                           G        D
I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.


[Outro]
  C                                           Em       D
I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about my-self.
        C                          Em               D
Yeah, I guess that I'm selfish for thinking about myself.
