Before I Knew Better
C F
No one thought that I?d jump off that rocky ledge
C G
So I did and I broke my leg
C F
Then I let Jim Beam tell I could take some guy
C G
Twice my size, but old Jim lied
Em Am
I can?t pretend that I ain?t been my life?s own wrecking crew
Dm
And I?m surprised that I?ve survived
G
All I?ve put myself through?
(chorus)
C Am
Before I knew better before I woke up
F G
I did a whole lot of crazy, foolish things I?m not proud of
C Am
It was just like me to risk it all
F G
Even when the pain outweighed the pleasure
C
Before I knew better
C F
You were the first to ever make me wanna change
C G
My wreckless ways and I almost did
C F
Somehow I lost track and wound up givin? in
C G
To the late night life and the good time friends
Em Am
You swore to me one day you?d leave and all I had to say
Dm
Was there?s the door what you waitin? for
G
And who needs you anyway?
(repeat chorus)
Dm Am
Girl I pray somehow someway we can turn this thing around
Dm G
I thought your love was something I could live without?
(repeat chorus) key change:
G#
Before I knew?
C# A#m
Before I knew better before I woke up
F# G#
I said a whole lot of crazy, foolish things I?m not proud of
C# A#m
It was just like me to risk it all
F# G#
Even when the pain outweighed the pleasure
C#
Before I knew better
