CHRONOLOGY:
INTRO: (CHORUS)
VERSE I:
I thought I was smart I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue in always being cool
so when it came time to fight I thought I'll just step aside
A F#m E (FILL I&II)
and that time would prove you wrong and you would be the fool
CHORUS:
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star lights begin
It's all a mystery
VERSE II:
Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
Now than tell me when would be the
time that you would stand up and be a man
for to lose I could accept but to surrender I just wet and regretted
A F#m E (FILL I&II)
This moment, oh that I, I was a fool
CHORUS:
VERSE III:
Cause I'm a man, not a boy
and there are things you can't avoid
you have to face them when you are not prepared to face them
Oh I would if I could, but your with him now it'd do no good
A F#m E (FILL I&II)
I should have fought him but instead I let him...take me
CHORUS:
