In the waiting days ahead
I've got to to look back down the road
ch /ch
I know that it's not too late
ch /ch
All the stupid things I said
the people I hurt and let down
ch /ch
well I hope that it's not my fate
To keep defeating... my own self
and keep repeating... yesterday
ch /ch
I can't keep defeating myself
ch /ch
I can't keep repeating the mistakes of my youth
ch /ch
In the dark of night I might
be able to make myself think
ch /ch
that I'm still a younger man
ch /ch
When the light of day shines down
there's no way to get around it
ch /ch
I am not the younger man
I keep defeating... my own self
and keep repeating... yesterday
ch /ch
I can't keep defeating myself
ch /ch
I can't keep repeating the mistakes of my youth
The choice is mine for making
a better road ahead
The road that I've been taking
heading for a dead end
ch /ch
But it's not too late to turn around
ch /ch ch /ch
BRIDGE G F#/G C/G D G F#/G C/G D G

In the final moments I
hope that I know that I tried
ch /ch
to do the best I could
To stop defeating... my own self
and stop repeating... yesterday
ch /ch
I can't keep defeating myself
ch /ch
I can't keep repeating the mistakes of my youth
ch /ch
