[Intro] (x2)
A, Cadd9, Em7, A, G
[Verse 1]
A Cadd9
I'd be kidding myself,
Em7 A
To think that I'd be any use to you at all,
G Em7 A7
Tell me something I don't know,
A Cadd9
Just another notch in your belt,
Em7 A
Is all that I would end up being, so,
G Em7 A7
Tell me something I don't know.
[Pre-Chorus]
D Em7 Cadd9
Any lesson you've learned,
A D
Is gone in the moment,
You know you probably get burned,
B7
But here you go like you own it.

[Chorus]
G Cadd9
And you give it all that you're worth,
A7 D
Make it loud in hopes that you're heard,
G Cadd9 A7
With your deepest cuts just strewn and spilling out.
[Verse 2]
With a little finesse,
I might have wound up somewhere better than the floor,
Tell me something I don't know,
I'm a bit of a mess,
But tucked-in, brushed-off, I look somewhat like before,
Tell me something I don't know.
[Pre-Chorus]
Any lesson you've learned,
Is gone again with the moment,
You call her name as she turns,
You know you've already blown it.
[Chorus]
Still you give it all that you're worth,
Say it loud in hopes that you're heard,
With your deepest cuts just strewn and spilling out.
[Bridge]
G Cadd9
And you know that you'll never win,
A Cadd9
So you take your lumps on the chin,
G Cadd9 A
And you're still smiling as you're blacking out,
Woo-hoo woah-oh.
[Instrumental] (x4)
G, Cadd9, Em7, Cadd9
[Chorus]
And you give it all that you're worth,
Make it loud in hopes that you're heard,
With your deepest cuts just strewn and spilling out.
[Outro]
Cause you know that you'll never win,
So you drop your hands and you grin,
And you're still smiling as you're blacking out.
Woo-hoo woah-oh (x8)
