I've tried  (C major) to make the most
out of a hopeless situation
G 
C 
But turning something  (G major) wrong  (C major) 
G 
into something right  (G major) 
But everything I do brings
out the worst in you
C 
Seems we always wind up gettin' in a fight (C major) 
I tell our friends again it's just a
phase we're going through
It's the kind of trouble you
G 
know that won't ever last  (G major) 
But the farther down I go and
the more I think I know
We've headed down a
C 
rough and rocky path  (C major)

 (C major) 
I try to rise above the petty
gossip of this town
I try to keep my nose clean
G 
and my  (G major) eyes open wide
But people talk so much it's
hard to stay in touch
With the way you really feel
C 
down deep in (C major) side
Oh the sound of rolling thunder
keeps on calling out to me
Way out on the highway is
G 
the place  (G major) I wanna be
It's hard to make it work
when I feel just like a jerk
C 
F 
And the past's the only future that I see  (C major)  (F major) 
G

C 
F 
G 
heart  (C major)  (F major)  (G major) a rest
