Intro: C 


[Verso 1]

C 
 I don't need to write a book, 'bout the chances that I took 
Am 
  All the hearts I had to break, I had to live with my mistakes 
F 
 All the ghosts that haunt my past, all the dreams that didn't last 
        G 
Burning candles at both ends, no way to pretend 

Watching bad luck take away all my friends 


[Verso 2]

C 
 As a boy I never cried, till the day my mama died 
Am 
  After that I, I left my home, San Francisco all alone 
F 
 With Eddie, Bill and Dave all gone, thought I'd put 'em in my song 
    G 
And maybe to you, well, it don't mean a thing, it's about my life that I wanna sing

 Hey, hey, I'm feeling alright. I'm feeling alright tonight

 My memories, they linger on, some are big, and some are strong

I've turned the page, I've had kids of my own, the time that I cherish being at home
