E C#m Abm A 
Yeah, i've had my share of broken dreams 
C#m B A 
And more than a couple of falls 
E E C#m Abm A 
And in chasin' what i thought were moonbeams 
C#m B A E 
I have run into a couple of walls 
C#m B 
But in looking back at the places i've been 
F#m Abm A 
The changes that i've left behind 
F#m A 
I just look at myself to find 
B C#m B 
I've learned the hard way every time. 
E C#m Abm A 
Cause i've had my share of good intentions, 
C#m B A 
And i've made my share of mistakes 
E E C#m Abm A 
And i've learned at times it's best to bend 
C#m B A E 
'cause if you don't, well those are the breaks. 
C#m B 
Should have listened to all the things i was told 
F#m Abm A 
But i was young and too proud at the time 
F#m A E/B C#m B 
Now i look at myself to find i learn the hard way every time 
C#m B 
But in looking back at the lessons i've learned 
F#m Abm A 
And the mountains i wanted to climb 
F#m A B C#m B 
I just look at myself to find i've learned the hard way every time. 
E C#m Abm A 
'cause i've had my share of broken dreams 
C#m B A 
And more than a couple of falls 
E E C#m Abm A 
And in chasin' what i thought were moonbeams 
C#m B A E 
I have run into a couple of walls 
C#m B 
But in looking back at the faces i've been 
F#m Abm A 
I would sure be the first one to say 
F#m A E/B C#m B E 
When i look at myself today wouldna done it any other way.
