Verse 1
D 
One day, I was on the ground
When I needed a hand
Then it couldn't be found
D/C 
I was so    far down that I couldn't get up
G 
You know and one day
I was one of life's losers
D 
Even my friends were my accusers
A 
And in my head, I lost before I (begun)

Verse 2
D 
I had a dream but it turned to dust
And what I thought was love
That must've been lust
D/C 
I was living in style
When the walls fell in
G 
When I played my hand
I looked like a joker
D 
Turn around, fate must have woke her
A 
'Cause lady luck
G 
A 
D 
she was waiting outside the door

Verse 3
D 
Too bad it belonged to me
It was the wrong time and not meant to be
D/C 
Took a long  time and I'm new born now
G 
I can see the day that I bleed for
D 
And if it's agreed there's a need

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Sus2 and sus4 swap the third in a chord for a second or fourth. The sus course covers the shapes and how to drop them into a progression. Practice sus chords

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
