Before I Knew Better

Key: C

Introduction:

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?
                                     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
