Lesson in Everything Lyrics

CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: G C G D G (2x)
I tried to help us, baby, but I hurt myself bad
I'm thinking back to all the trouble we had
I stood in your way and I talked too much
You were my distraction, I was your crutch
Well, we try and we try to make it right
Talking all day, crying all night
I close my eyes that I don't cry asleep
So now they'll never make a promise that I can't keep
CHORUS:
I'm gonna learn from the darkness and the pain that it brings
'Cause I know there's a lesson in everything
We are standing in the middle of a delayed reckoning
But I know there's a lesson in everything
I know there's a lesson in everything
Can't hear a grace, that I end up blue
Can't make a fairy tale come true
I love you, baby, you know I do
But you can't change me and I can't save you
CHORUS:
I'm gonna learn from the darkness and the pain that it brings
'Cause I know there's a lesson in everything
We are standing in the middle of a delayed reckoning
But I know there's a lesson in everything
I know there's a lesson in everything
BRIDGE:
There are lessons in joy, lessons in pain
Lessons you learn again and again
Lessons in love and suffering
I know there's a lesson in everything
INSTRUMENTAL: G D G D G D Em C G D G
So we'll take our licks and we'll pay the fine
You go your way and I'll go mine
I won't give my heart, even if it aches
Until I've been taught by my mistakes
CHORUS:
I'm gonna learn from the darkness and the pain that it brings
'Cause I know there's a lesson in everything
We are standing in the middle of a delayed reckoning
But I know there's a lesson in everything
I know there's a lesson in everything
I know there's a lesson in everything
I know there's a lesson in everything
I know there's a lesson in everything
