Verse:
G#m
I’m sorry about your parents, they sound like bad people
E F#
Your daddy sounds like a jerk
G#m E F#
I guess your mama didn’t know the gift she got when she got you
G#m
I’m sorry about your life, you had it pretty rough
E F#
Bending over backwards, never good enough
G#m E F#
You poor thing, it must suck to be you
Pre-Chorus:
E F# G#m
And I know it’s not your fault, it never is, is it?
Chorus:
G#m E B F#
I, I, know what it’s like staying up all night nursing wounds
G#m E B F#
It takes more than I have, pick fights with the past, I always lose
G#m E B F#
Oh, don’t you know? That’s no way to live
G#m E B F#
I, I, know what it’s like staying up all night nursing wounds
G#m E F G#m E F
G#m G#m E F#
Verse:
G#m
I get it, give me a little credit
E F#
I remember, when I was that pathetic
G#m
Wear my scars on my sleeve, for all the world to see
E F#
Like look what they did to me quick, lay on the sympathy thick
G#m
You probably have the right to feel how you do
E F#
You were mistreated and cheated out of the childhood you needed
G#m
And now you’ll never succeed if you’re so convinced you’re defeated
E F#
If you’re obsessed with your yesterday then you’re destined to repeat it
Pre-Chorus:
E F# G#m
And I know it’s not your fault, it never is, is it?
Chorus:
G#m E B F#
I, I, know what it’s like staying up all night nursing wounds
G#m E B F#
It takes more than I have, pick fights with the past, I always lose
G#m E B F#
Oh, don’t you know? That’s no way to live
G#m E B F#
I, I, know what it’s like staying up all night nursing wounds
