VERSE 
A 
Figuring out where I went wrong 
    F#m        Em7                D 
The script not followed, then was awfully long 
A        Bm7        A/C#   F#m 
Too much pluck, too little of 
    D                        A 
The acting right, not acting up 
  A 
I wore the world upon my back 
       F#m                Em7        D 
Though someone else could meet, pick up the slack 
A      Bm7   A/C#    F#m 
Just because I could say 
     D                     A 
It's my life, do things my way 

 
    D 
Now I'm looking up more than I look down 
    A                                D     A 
The view's a whole lot better second time around 
D 
Too much of me was hidden in the shadows 
  Bm            A/C#    D                 E7 
I looked up and felt my feet lift off the ground

VERSE 
A 
Color a lot with a broader stroke 
    F#m      Em7           D 
The laughter comes as easy as the jokes 
A   Bm        A/C#      F#m 
Nowadays, I'm thinking 'bout 
D                      A 
Time is wasted looking back 


    D 
Now I'm looking up more than I look down 
    A                                D     A

G                       D

A                        E 
 It's dark and deep down there 
Em                 D/F# 
 Crank the handle, bring it up

The water, crystal clear
