Verse 2:
Em
There'll be days
Em
When I'll stray
C
I may appear to be
D
Constantly out of reach
Em
I give in
Em
to sin

Because I like to practice what I preach
Em
I'm not trying to say
Em
I'll have it all my way
C
I'm always willing to learn
D
When you've got something to teach
Em D Em
And I'll make it all worth-while
C D
I'll make your heart smile
Em
Pain will you return it
Em C Am
I'll say it again -- pain
Em
Pain will you return it
Em C Am
I won't say it again
