Intro: C    F    C            G   
                 Hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm  hmm  
                 C            G   
                 Hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm  hmm  
                 C            G   
                 Hmm hmm hmm, laa la la la  
                 C              F G 
                 La la la la la 


                 C 
Guess I'd better get back up 
               G 
Get up off the ground again 
                 F 
Guess I'm really not so tough 
            G 
Up there is farther than it's ever been 


                      C 
It's not just that my pride's been hurt 
                 G 
Not just that my heart's been bruised 
                F 
Fell down on my big ideas 
                 G         C   G  F  G 
It's gotten me a bit confused 


                 C 
Unless you are a true bad boy 
                     G 
Your conscience is a constant threat 
           F 
Time for a new idea 
          G         
One to discard regret
