Lyrics

[Intro]
| Em C | G - | Em C |

[Verse 1]
G                    Em   C       G
 I thought I saw the devil this morning
Em C              G
   Looking in the mirror
                        Em
Drop of rum on my tongue
C       G
 with a warning
Em           C          G
  To help me see myself clearer

[Pre-Chorus]
  Am                       G
I never meant to start a fire
        Em       D/F#     C
I never meant to make you bleed
                         Em             C
I'll be a better man today I'll be good,

[Chorus]
           G
I'll be good
        Em              C       G
And I'll  love the world like I should,
yeah
Em             C           G
  I'll be good, I'll be good
                 Am       G          Em C
For all of the times that I never could

[Verse 2]
G Em C
G                   Em    C       G     Em     C
 My past has tasted bitter for years now  so I wield an
     G
iron fist
              Em
Grace is just weakness,
C   G
 or so I've been told
            Em               C
I've been cold, I've been merciless

[Pre-Chorus]
G        Am                G
 But the blood on my hands scares me to death
Em        D/F#    C     Em             C
Maybe I'm waking up today I'll be good,

[Chorus]
           G
I'll be good
        Em              C       G
And I'll  love the world like I should
Em             C        G
  I'll be good, I'll be good
Em             C           G
  I'll be good, I'll be good

[Bridge]
                   Am
For all of the light that I shut out
    G           C
For all of the innocent things that I doubt
    D              Am
For all of the bruises I've caused and the tears
    G             C
For all of the things that I've done
    D     Am G   C
All these years, no , yeah
    D             Am
For all of the sparks that I stomped out
    G            C
For all of the perfect things that I doubt

[Chorus]
Em             C           G
  I'll be good, I'll be good
        Em              C       G
And I'll  love the world like I should yeah
Em             C           G
  I'll be good, I'll be good
                 Em C        G
For all of the times I never could
