[N] [A]
[C#m] [F#m]
[D] [E] [A]
[F#m]
[E] Oh well.
I thought I [A] was smart, [C#m] thought I was right.
[D] I thought it better [E] not to fight.
I [A] thought there was a virtue [F#m] in always [E] being cool.
[A] So it came time [C#m] to fight.
[D] I thought I'll just [E] step aside and [A] that the time would [F#m] prove you wrong.
I [E] thought that the new home would [A] be the home [C#m] where the sun beams [F#m] in and the starry [E] lights begin to [C#m] [A] call it history.
[F#m]
[E]
I [A] was surprised [C#m] to defend.
[D] If it's on Allen tell [E] me when would be [A] the time she [F#m] would stand up as a [E] young man.
[A] Vote to lose I [C#m] could accept.
[D] But to surrender I [E] just wept and [A] regretted this moment.
[F#m]
[E] Oh, I.
I don't [A] know [E] where the sun beams in [F#m] and the [E] starry lights begin to call [A] it history.
[F#m] [C#m] [E]
And I [A] don't know [C#m] how a man who's tired [D] of life lives [E] all night [A] long is free.
[F#m] [E]
Because [A] I'm a man [E] not a boy [D] and there are things you [E] can't avoid you [A] have to face them [F#m] when you're not prepared [E] to face them.
If [A] I could [C#m] I would.
[D] But you're a man I do [E] no good.
I should [A] have fought him [F#m] but instead I let him.
