  Verse 1

  A

  I've seen it goin' 'round when you get bad news

  

  Thinkin' that you found a darker shade of blue

  G                                D

  Lookin' for the light and it's a long way back

                                        C       A

  You know without a fight you're gonna fade to black

  A

  Never was a man that ever felt this way

  

  one who couldn't stand to live another day

  G                           D

  hard times seem to have the corner on you

                            C     A

  but you can rise from the ashes too

  

  Chorus

           D               C              G         A

  When I'm on my knees and everything has gotten me beat

           D             C           G       A

  and even I believe I'm never gonna find my feet

      D                                    A

  Two ways you can go you can ask anybody around

           G                E                   A

  one mans half way up is another mans half way down

  

  Verse 2

  A

  Now you may decide it's a losin' game

  

  even in your stride you're gonna call it lame

  G                            D

  Gettin' one leg up when it's said and done

                                C       A

  is the hardest part no matter how you run

  A

  If you can walk away from a crash and burn

  

  you'll appreciate every step you earn

  G                             D

  and if you feel the ground is gainin' on you

                                 C         A

  you're already bound to take a different view

  

  Repeat Chorus

  

  Bridge

  D                     A

  One mans ceiling is another mans floor

  D                        A

  One mans wall could be another mans door

  C                   D

  One mans smile is another mans frown

                F                 E               A

  and there are miles of half way up and half way down

  

  Outro

  

  | A A(5) B(5) C* B(5) A(5) G(6) A | (Repeat and fade)
