Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][F#m][A][Bm][A]
[G]

[Verse 1]
If you had a bad
[D]time[G][D]
[A]At one [F#m]of my [A]par[F#m]ties
[A]Well I wou[Bm]ldn't expect to be seeing[A]
you soon [G]and that's [Gm]fine
[G]You have to know what and

[Verse 2]
[D]why
Those [A]things make you happy
[Bm]You have to know that a se[A]cond
guess ain't worth the [G]try

[Verse 3]
Just some words of ad[D]vice
Maybe you've [G]heard them
before [A]but here goes
Just be true to your[D]self if it lands you [G]in hell,
well, at least now [A]you know
[G]Loud and cle[A]ar is you[D]r heart big and bright
are [G]the places you might [A]someday go
With one million things [D]holding you down,
why you're [G]one of those things
I don't [A]know,
[G]no big [A]deal gotta go

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][Bm][A]
[G]

[Verse 4]
If you're up [D]to your ears
In [A]blood, sweat and wasted years
[F#m]I'm ho[Bm]ping you're going
to [A]open your throat
And just scream
[G]

[Verse 5]
You have to know who and [D]why
Which [A]ones miss you when you [F#m]die
[Bm]You have to know that a se[A]cond guess
ain't worth [G]the salt in your eyes

[Verse 6]
Just some words of [D]advice
Maybe you've [G]heard them
before but [A]here goes
Just be true to your[D]self if it lands you [G]in hell,
well, at least now [A]you know
[G]Loud and cle[A]ar is you[D]r heart big and bright
are [G]the places you might [A]someday go
With one million things [D]holding you down,
why you're [G]one of those [A]things
[G]No big deal
[A]It just

[Verse 7]
[Bm]sits on my shoulders
you're [G]breaking my neck
We get [D]crazy with age now
you're [A]under my bed
And it's [Bm]dark [G]all the tim[D]e, all the tim[A]e

[Verse 8]
Just some words of ad[D]vice
Maybe you've [G]heard them
before [A]but here goes
Just be true to your[D]self if it lands you [G]in hell,
well, at least now [A]you know
[G]Loud and cle[A]ar is your hea[D]rt big and bright
are [G]the places you might [A]someday go
With one million things [D]holding you down,
why you're [G]one of those things
I don't [A]know, [G]no big dea[A]l here I go[D]

[Outro 1]
